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

Gura's sched for the week

Sets one hell of a fucking precedent, IRyS, Suisei, Watame and AZKi must be smiling from cheek to cheek knowing this is now a possibility for them!
Suisei just signed with Toy's Factory as a singer-producer unit with Taku Inoue, Midnight Grand Orchestra. It's a smaller label but she still retains control over music she releases herself so best of both worlds.

For the others, seeing an even smaller cut of the profits probably isn't worth the added exposure. IRyS is probably still locked into her Hololive VSinger contract anyway until that's up for renewal.

Cali girl, if you do lurk here and see this, congrats! You have outshone every twittspreg, retarded rrat, doompost and hater. Have a drink on me to celebrate but only ONE! I ain't made of money and I need to save up for that Nasa pillow.

Jokes aside I am legitimately happy for the Jobber of Japan. Even though I don't listen to really any of the girls' music, save for the yabbit's karaoke cacophony, I will buy a copy just to show support for this weird little hobby of watching cute girls doing cute shit.

:drink:
 
I'll just have to admit it. Lui is my favorite HoloX member. I wanted to like wagahai or the orca the most, but Lui keeps on breaking down all my defenses. She's been so great in everything I've watched her be a part of, so it's time I stop lying to myself and accept reality. Just seeing her in the birthday stream with the rest of them was wonderful.
 
Bro, she doesn't even have a second outfit. Cover needs to stop dragging their ass with her.
You might think one can do two things at once, different modeler and so on. It will be weird to see Kiara performing in 3D and Irys not. But then again, this is a japanese company, so... nevermind.

I've found a nice place to live, and I knew the flat was the only way to win! I'll deliver when I get home early - sorry for the poor signal ♡.
So she is moving? Good idea (archive)

I'm having a really hard time thinking about telling everyone about me right now ( - - ̥ ). I want to apologise a lot then...

I don't know when that's going to be, maybe earlier, maybe later.

Basically it looks like this:

Kuzuha = Virgin Records, subsidiary of Universal Music Japan
Rain Drops (Ryushen, Akina, Meiji, Elu, Joe, Masaru) = Universal Music Japan
Morinaka Kazaki (formally as a part of Petit Fleurs with Gibara) = NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan
Trinity (Rion, Hakase, Furen) = NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan
ROF-MAO (Kagami, Kenmochi, Fuwa, Kaida) = Universal Music Japan

Meanwhile Mito and Himawari are with Sony and Deron is with Lantis.

"Every" was an exaggeration but my point is more that if a Niji liver is signed by a label nowadays its more likely to be Universal/NBCUniversal than not. Sony's relationship with Anycolor is exaggerated by most fans.
Don't forget PONY CANYON favorite daughter , Uto
Gura’s problem is that she had natural born singing talent like Taylor Swift but she would rather used it for meme vs serious taking singing lesson and go pro. I wonder if any myth girl can convince her to take it serious.

IRyS on the other hand might get signed before Gura due to her passion and simply “I want it” attitude.

IRyS will probably have 3D by then. Much hopium. Since we have HoloEN Xmas collab songs (12 days of Xmas). Hope Cover won’t let me down and fly all HoloEN members over to Japan sometime in May or early June and make a 12 days of HoloEN 3D debut (Myth, IRyS and Council with the 12th day being a mega collab) that would be fun. Then IRyS will have her 3D “ready” to do that 3D Dokomi with Kirara. It will be downright retard if we have 2D performance on screen instead or cardboard Rys.

Uproar is pretty much Yagoo last ditch effort to show the world how Nip males are better than oversea/gaijin males when it comes to entertainment and talents.
But
Talent = yes. Entertainment = get filtered by language. Even if HoloEN girls collab with them out of pity, it will be a train wreck due to language differences. Imagine Gura tried to make some dirty innuendo jokes and none of the guy understand yo laugh or react vs the bantering dynamic between Roberu and Mea
Uproar for some reason felt like it was a freebie to show they have not abandoned Stars , i know YAGOO love his primarchs but Cover prefer the cashcows than them, a shame because the new guys are pretty interesting

I still think Stars EN is something Cover is cooking without YAGOO
Amiya Aranha is going to play Castlevania 3 in two hours, hopefully to the end.
Her schedule for the week is pretty sweet too:
Less assraping than Castlevania 2 but definitely not easy, mad respect
 
Honestly super happy for calli she's been the EN member I've always been most interested in cause she's such a unique backstory and oddness that seeing the shit we achieved in here about her wanting to quit and leave being dejected to now being signed by a company, warms this old dead heart
Also seeing the twitard and /vt chimps spazz out just the sprinkles and cherry.
Now what i actually hope for is kiara to hire a full time producer and lyricist and she gets her idol dream going even more with orginal songs
 
(3/29/22)
Calli's big announcement is probably related to moving back to the US for a bit and Signing up with a record label (Since she mentioned it was the most important thing career-wise) She did mention that overall it was a good thing but some people probably wouldn't like it (meaning JP fans who might want to have her over in Japan so that she can collab with Lui and such).
Called it somewhat. Now to see if the US part becomes true or not.




Did anyone suddenly forget how the music publishing world works? I feel like Calliope signed up into a worse behemoth of an industry than even the idols.
To be honest my biggest concern with this is related to the whole copyright thing. I feel like a huge part of what makes the Hololive community great is that people will create and share fan animations, and moments using the songs and the streams. Expect anything and everything to get copyright struck and shafted.

That said im really glad for her. Really loved the live. Opening with Holostar member, which seems to be a first (correct me if I'm wrong). Would've been better for her to end with End of Life though instead of it being the penultimate one on the list.

Likely chances Calli has to step up her workout routine for live concerts? lol
I'm not even shit posting I like Mori but she needs workout if she's having trouble breathing during her Birthday Concert. I recently started working out again more myself and doing around 4-5 miles 4-5 times a week to get healthier.
I think nerves also have to do with it. She seemed extremely nervous and that shit will get your heartbeat up and make you hyperventilate.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: PyrrhicDefeat
LMFAO
I went to Twitter to look at the talk around Cali and I was met with this.

It is nothing but anime avatar troons calling my third favorite wrestler racist because she raps and that's something black people do and anime avatars calling them retards. It's kinda magical. All of this is old news, I know. I just didn't expect it to be number three on the list.
 
So I remember a Botan clip I can't find anymore but the gist was a viewer asking if males can apply for hololive with a voice changer and she completely shot it down saying it'll never happen and holostars is there for males to apply.
But now that they've added Minase Rio in holostars who seems most likely to be a woman idk why this strange difference in rules for hololive and holostars
 
Hm.. and so Hololive keeps winning it seems. Good news I suppose. And perhaps we might see similar achievements in the following years.

On the topic of winning and achieving, it has already been like 5-6 years since Vtubers came into the scene. We've seen many breakthroughs and spectacular stage shows. I wonder how long this trend will continue. Have we already reached a plateau? Or are we still seeing a rise? We already have three prominent Vtuber companies (if you consider Vshojo as one them anyway) and many more companies following its wake. We have massive groups of hired talents and an endless sea of indies. How long will this go on until this trend eventually becomes a fad?

In any case, I hope I get to see more of the wonders of Vtubing. And maybe get to see the end of it. Or even join the ranks.
 
Depends on the contract since she's signed under Mori Calliope rather than DemonDice. Because she's signed under her Vtuber persona it's likely Cover setup a more favorable contract as a result especially since their only a distributor in this case rather than say a producer. Universal Music also has Ado under their belt and she's what 19 right now? She started when she was 17 and seems to be doing fine.

Also like Ado and a lot of the other major label "hidden identity" artists/utaites, nearly all the VTuber songs at this point have been written or produced by current/ex-vocaloid producers anyway so I don't feel the usual record label producer BS would suddenly be an issue.
