General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

All the names are Japanese and it was revealed at a time most of the west was fast asleep or just waking up.
Another thing that makes it unlikely is how they didn't even bother releasing an official english TL of the character profiles, people in the comments had to translate for the english speakers. It'd be kind of shit marketing to soft release a what's-going-to-be EN branch for Holostars and not even give them profiles their target audience can understand.

Fauna appears to be having audio problems post move. Though honestly, she seems to be an absolutely perfectionist with her audio setup, so it remains to be seen if it's a real problem, or a "This is a problem to Fauna only" problem. And with her birthday tomorrow, I hope she can get something setup she's happy with.
 
Ah yes, because Ninomae Inanis and Takanashi Kiara are definitey Western names.
It's kinda funny how Ame is the only one in all of HoloEN with a 'normal' western name. Iris is a fairly popular girls' name, but obviously not spelled like hers is.

Just a japanese thing i suppose where most names have to have some (more or less) convoluted way of describing what the character is about while still being fairly easy to understand with moderate knowledge of the language.
It works tho, i think i'd cringe more if all of them had normal / real names instead of how it is now.
 
JP talent talking about how ID caught them off guard:

Fubuki freaking out about EN/ID on Day 2:
great to see JP gush about ID, their performance should also bump up their numbers quite nicely.

can't wait to see what happens when they get hit with a full dose of ayunda...

been catching up with day 1 of the expo. no idea what went down between the four JP girls
what happened, haven't really dug through all the pages and videos yet.
 
They're definitely Japanese, though. All the names are Japanese and it was revealed at a time most of the west was fast asleep or just waking up. It's just a series of bizarre decisions.
Why would any of that be a problem if Japanese fujos are the target audience in the end of the day?

Even after day 2, the second viewing alongside Gura really has me thinking Suisei and Suisei/Towa were still the best singers. Overall performance wise ID girls followed that pretty damn closely though. I really want this to lead to some cross branch collaborations, especially with the 3D models usable. Maybe they can teach each other some techniques.

Gura said she kind of really wants to try singing with Sui-chan. Chat was pushing her to do it of course. So I guess we'll see if that goes anywhere lol
Edit: fuck I forget if she SENT a message, or was just brainstorming then never did. Trying to find it real quick to update
Edit2: She apparently was getting shaky fingers while considering it because of how much she looks up to Suisei. While sorting out what to say, how to ask, what to suggest songwise, etc. the final group song started before she got convinced to do it and said "I'll ask. I promise. I won't forget."

It was pretty cute watching her fangirl over most of it. She teared up a few times, but I think Suisei was the only performance she was actually went into I guess a mostly stunned silence type of mode.

Never done one of these so some scrub attempt:

- Wants to do more originals, ENGLISH originals she specifies. *Wants to work with music artists she thinks "You'd really like"Then cut herself off and moved on before "saying something she shouldn't." Says she has a lot of projects unfinished and a project graveyard due to tossing some things she felt weren't as good as they could be.
*- Chat suggests Idol song, she has no clue what kind of song she should even go with for that. "Too many options my brain!"
*- "Publicly advertise for Reflect MV?" Says Reflect is like a year old, and she sort of considers it as "Reflect has had it's time, and it's time to move on. That's how I feel anyway."
- Day 2 watchalong isn't happening until a day or two after Fauna's birthday. Not particularly surprising.
- Has a picture of the life sized statue "forbidden angle." Considering maybe doing something silly like signing a cowboy hat to send with the statue for whoever wins the auction.
- Chat, of course, remembered the game show answer of "Foot measurement in membership only!" Claims it's supposedly half a banana.
- Someone said speculation was that licking her statue would taste like Nintendo Switch cartridges. Somehow this spiraled into people making clones if she did and her googling what a homunculus is. And a shrill "What the fuck?!" after reading some things. Said she's scared to even look up other things chat looks up. Did at least check what golem led to and thought the wikipedia pictured one was cute.
- Was told about some of Matsuri's recently clipped comments regarding her lol. Which in turn had Gura mantaining that "No wanting to smell someone isn't creepy! Is it? Maybe that's just a girl thing?"
- Ditto with the Marine talks her performance clip.
- Shuba's too, the wanting to dance together and such. Gura's fangirling back at them lol and just "OH yes yes please"
- AND Watame's about eating her now. Gura bets it's the cute chubby little cheeks of hers causing it. (FACE.)
- AND HoloX. Sheesh lol, but I do find all these girls just fangirling over each other this hard all the time adroable.
- Hopes for HoloLive to continue growing and needing bigger venues. Budokan or Madison Square Garden sized dreams.
- Alongside that ideal dreams of a REAL tour and things like that one day. Feels like "you guys deserve that kind of thing."
- Plans to kind of bounce around and get some info about things, maybe some pictures of the statue others might have and other neat things to show or talk about. Another Membership chatting stream about Fes soon after that, said tomorrow at first before realizing Fauna's bday. So TBD I guess most likely.
- Chat: "Release the forbidden angle" Shark: Nooooo. no way dude.

Lotta thank yous for supporting her, EN, and Hololive in general. Big heartfelt one toward the end, almost crying again. Terrible at finding a way of saying thanks that sounds different from the other crapton of thank yous. "Very emotionally drained" and needs a nap. Says most people who stayed up to support also probably need one, so go do it. 23 or so different flavors of Bye.

Apologies for anyone who wasted their time skimming my rambling bad note taking lol Edit3 autism is finalized edition: minor additions to some details*
