Uruka dropping the deep lore
>originally auditioned for Hololive's Project Hope (Irys); her audition video got 15 views (which, from what I've heard others talk about, is a decent number)
>proceeded to obsessively search for other vtuber auditions
>found Phase Connect's auditions announcement post on Reddit, which wasn't properly advertised leading to only around 200 auditions
>further confirms that the 1st year was awful
>Sakana was "legitimately, actually an asshole" for the first year; claims he's changed
>Uruka getting pissed off at Sakana saying she wasn't taking it seriously is what led to her taking one of her long breaks
>apparently the talents banded together and told Sakana to quit being an asshole or they'd leave
>Uruka was the only one with music knowledge for the first year, leading to her helping out with everything music related for everyone
Imagine Irys with Uruka's voice.
For extra context, Uruka's said that looking back she understands Sakana's troubles starting & running a company and everything is a lot better now.
