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

Once again Kanauru is giving some behind the scenes info along with some alternate takes. It's short and Kiara clucking is legitimately the best part of the video, but then in the comments Kanauru posted this:
"some trivia
1. mumei adlibbed cya suckers, bath tub, ice machine and cardboard box fort
2. gura and calli floating in space originally had no dialogue ( i repurposed some other dialogue they recorded )
3. bulls*** was bae's original line in the script but i switched it to sun of a beach
4. ina doing the macarena is a reference to the KFP Dance School stream
5. sana adlibbed the "Blue Clapper" so i made her clap her hands
6. the members weren't aware of the context of their lines so some of gave us variations/options to work with!
&. there's a cut where Ame voices everyones lines and the sfx"

Holy Lord, God Almighty, please let me have the cut where Ame is everyone and she's providing her own effects!!!!!!

Wow, if you told me a year ago Calli would be the second to hit 2M I wouldn't have believed it. Pretty impressive stuff.

My rrat that Kson is trying to start her own hololive to compete with Yagoo gets more plausible by the day.

I mean that was the rrat since the day she announced it because she talked about being unable to do serious management stuff as a talent like a week before and everybody knows solo streams were not her main strenght. Keep in mind that kson still is a downgrade from Coco pretty much on every level, she did like two collabs with Project Melody but doesn't seem like she really needs this "creative freedom" all that much.

 

[Ruka]

KSON JUST CONFIRM THAT SHE PLAN TO COLLAB WITH RUSHINEKO. CODE RED. CODE RED.

Wasn't it just a bit ago that there was a 2ch post from what was alleged to be Mike trying to stir drama up for Kson?
Not really sure if that was proven 100% either but kinda fucked up nonetheless seeing how enthusiastic Kson is at helping her out.

Thanks for leaving the other four scrambling to set different streams or leaving a gap their own schedules. Really cool!

In other milestones: Congrats Mel!

Gura has no idea what Schrodinger's cat is.

Gura: Is it a cute cat?
Chat: It's the cat in the box thing.
Gura: Box? You mean like when you put a box down and the cat climbs in?

I'd chalk it up to her joking but given her spelling ability I'm starting to think her education stopped at elementary school.

I'd assume Gura had been smothered by one of her clones if the person on screen even hinted at a familiarity with quantum mechanics.

Was Haachama's HololiveEN2.0 debut (The casually disturbing "Red Heart" debut stream) lost to the void forever?

I guess that all of her more extreme lore videos got privatized because Cover was afraid of Susan's ban hammer.
I think I downloaded at least the HoloEN 2.0 debut stream because I clipped the two lore videos in the past. I gonna archive it here because that was really great overall:

The "real" lore video:

If you need the whole archive I have to check if I have saved it elsewhere.

She's just too busy starting an entire new Campaign with Trash Taste instead of finishing the dying one, that's all

Kinda seems likely she saw these exact rrats as soon as the trash taste campaign was announced so she scrambled to get Mythbreakers finale up which is what "hastily scheduled due to my irrational fears" mean. I'm just surprised she's saying that so outright. Then again this is Calli.

 

[Scuttle]

Yen Press and Trash Taste, a match made in Hell

For once we find common ground!

Finana and Pomu off-collab next week. These people are really getting around. Even Selen chewed back some kind of off-collab announcement the other day.

It's good to see them taking initiative. Elira, Enna, and Millie was a gimme but everyone else I thought would have to wait until some kind of event or 3D debut to meet up together.

Best girl catches up to the meta. Also, why are people getting hype for the Warships collab, even going as far as to say "yeah I'll check the game out now"? Isn't Warships notorious for locking their collab content behind retardedly expensive DLC packs? Pretty much all the "military vehicle" games have abysmal monetization, whether Wargaming games or Gaijin games. Warships was even the one that had a mass exodus of content creators after they shoved one of the most popular ships into essentially a lootbox.

Yeah but there's dev approved mods that you can use to enable any voicepacks and some available ship skins. As long as the talents don't get their own unique ships there's a workaround.

KSON JUST CONFIRM THAT SHE PLAN TO COLLAB WITH RUSHINEKO. CODE RED. CODE RED.

Was a date given for that? I'm guessing in 5 days to coincide with the purging

I truly wish Mikeneko nothing but the best with this Kson collab. I know it's fun to dunk on retards who fuck up, but I'm a fan of Kiara and her roommates long struggle to turn it around, so I'd like to see that in Mikeneko instead of being a perma-lolcow.

I'm in the same boat. She was stupid for trusting drama peddlers but it's pretty fucked up her boyfriend messaging her was the first domino and he responded by throwing her under the bus and kicking her out (allegedly). Hopefully kson is the tard wrangler that she needs.

Somewhat related, the clip that got me in to vtubers

No date atm, she just say that she plan to collab with her when a tourist send a question directly like a retard.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Damn it karen you said you didn't care what dorito dust keyboard warriors were saying about you.

I imagine she negotiated with the other girls before announcing this.

 

[Burnt Fish]

well I mean the mythbreaker stuff there's better reason for and it doesn't have to be "dorito dust keyboard warriors"

If she were listening to them she wouldn't be doing the Trash Taste collab whatsoever. Totally different animal to push out some content because fans want it vs turning down or avoiding content because people seethe about it.

On a side note though now seeing how this TTRPG with trash taste is being done through Bookwalker/Yenpress. Karen is likely getting a fat fucking paycheck out of it. I thought it was just gonna be some casual stream from TT, not that it was a whole sponsored event.

Something that just came to mind recently. In group collabs where there is only one POV do the SC's get split up between all the parties involved or just the streamer? For example: A TTRPG is happening on Calli's channel. Does she take all the revenue?

I do think it's the case that the person running the collab gets the revenue. This however is why Calli didn't always host the TTRPG on her channel, it rotated every week, same with CHADcast now, each weak it's on another member's channel.

 

[Rhialtokourai]

Late, but does anyone know why Zeta's tie is... tied... to her arm?

You joke, but within Hololive they do almost seem mutually exclusive so far.
Outside of Hololive there's Ryugasaki Rene though, who can both sing and ASMR well. And probably more, that's just the only one I know of.

Besides Okayu, I just remembered that Sakamata also does both, though I can't judge her ASMR.

In related minor news, Sakamata is aware of the comparisons between her and Zeta. I expect some clips to appear.

Edit: Bae starting her 500k celebration. Hololive song karaoke. Fighting through a rough throat.

Bae: This is the one karaoke I cannot eff up.

Really liked her song choices. I like Suisei, but usually "Hololive karaoke" from someone other than her means a bunch of her songs, Towa's Palette, Idol Project songs, and maybe some IRyS and AZki lol. So this was refreshing. Bae even sang two Holostars songs.

Spoiler: Setlist

- Caesura of Despair - IRyS
- Palette - Towa
- Journey to Find Stars - Holostars
- Daydream - Kronii
- High Tide - Moona
- Pentas - Aruran, Rikka, Roberu, Shien, Oga
- Reflect - Gura
- Ahoy - Marine
- Q - Calli and Gura
- A New Start - Mumei
- Taiyou Shoujo - Subaru
- Shiny Smily Story

Sakamata has a new short original song, very different from her previous.

Time to learn Japanese with the Holoraptors in 5 minutes.

Spoiler: Comments

- Lui still calls the Myth members she interacts with (Calli, Ina off-stream) senpai, but the Council members have lost that lol.
- Mumei is incredibly nervous and sleep-deprived.
-- Lui: Take it easy, okay?
- I suppose Lui's anime-derived slang is more seiso than the vocabulary Mumei would have learnt from Kiara lol.
- Bae showed up in chat and Lui chose that moment to make Mumei insult her with an Evangelion quote.
- Word guessing game:
-- Since Lui doesn't have a JP partner chat does the guessing; she also did this when Calli was the guest.
-- Mumei: [Bird. That eats rats.]
-- Lui: (reading chat) Ah. Everybody already know.
- Mumei will get a lot of use out of "hiyotteru yatsu iru?". (Anyone scared?)
- Lui asked for closing questions and Mumei asked what "yatsu" meant. Lui and chat explained that it's a rude way to refer to a person. "Fighting words."
- Lui finished up by telling viewers to subscribe to Mumei.
-- Mumei: [I don't speak Japanese.] (nervous laugh)
-- Lui: It's okay. Japanese viewers see Mumei and say "So cute." Subscribe subscribe subscribe.

MaiR premiering her Akeboshi cover in around 10 minutes or so. She mentioned in her community post that there will be one new cover song every week.

Also confirming from yesterday's AZKi member stream, she and Itoi from yesterday will collab with Hibiki Kasane of CocoTsuki Project tomorrow 7PM JST

I would be happy if they sing game songs, Kasane is amazing when singing NieR and Final Fantasy songs (especially Melodies of Life). Both Cocone and Kasane are amazing and they do karaoke streams regularly. Here's their latest MV if you want to listen.

Sanbaka's 3rd Anniversary Live is starting:

 

[Tatsunoko]

Mikeneko needs to learn to avoid GFE, avoid dramatubers, rely on closest friends in times of distress, and just stay calm. If she does, she can find happiness, but she seems to like being the victim and in a mental state of paranoia and anxiety. Only thing preventing her happiness is her. Kson cares more for her than she does, which shows how great Kson is and how pitiful Mike is.

I do agree that she puts her faith in the wrong people and turns her back on the people who actually care. But I don't see her ever giving up the GFE stuff. She's good at it, obviously, otherwise, she wouldn't have been Hololive's top earner after Coco left. And even before Coco left the two of them were swapping top earner spot on and off.

Also I'm personally going to hold off calling her pitiful considering she obviously has mental issues in arguably one of the worst First-World Countries to have them, however, she mentioned actually going to a therapist or psychologist recently. kson having a collab with her also shows that she's not upset with her (which was already all but confirmed), but Kanata at the very least isn't either. And I imagine if she was really toxic and persona non-grata other members kson's close with would have tried dissuaded her.

They've really been popping off with the offcollabs recently, wonder whether they got an official all-clear from staff, or could do it from the beginning but only thought about it after the Elira/Enna/Millie/Rosemi collab.
