Is there any particular reason why Mel and Choco don't have that many translated clips? Do they have their own Lyger, or is it simply a matter of disinterest from the Western/English-speaking side?

Most people are unaware of Choco's and Mel's personality, even myself. They are not as active as other girls and have lower subs, so they don't get the spotlight they deserve. And yeah, they need their own Lyger. Aki already got einnashu and they probably helped her in terms of subs number.

I know there are a few dedicated people to just one vtuber, but some try to handle them all. Very few have someone as dedicated as those two; the only other one I can think of is Birdkun for Coco, VTJ is quickly becoming one for Polka. Even some of the newer gens don't have dedicated people translating them yet still have explosive growth. There aren't a ton of clips any of gen 5 around except for Polka and they're all doing fine in terms of subs. I think Mel and Choco suffer from being early gens and not making too much of an impact that they got someone dedicated to them. Everything I see of Mel makes me think she's definitely fun and Choco's bread and butter is basically impossible to do without her getting demonetized. What also doesn't help is that they're pretty inactive just due to having side things to do.

This. This is like drugs to me. Holy fuck. Simp mode activate. Why didn't I know about this before? It's not even that she's any particular talent at singing it, it's just holy fuck how does a vtuber I've come to enjoy also like MCR?

A lot of people liked that and it basically informed a lot of people that Karen definitely still was (and maybe still is) a mall goth in her heart and just covers it up very well by rapping. Kiara told a story about their spa date to that effect as well; they were having lunch and "Big Girls Don't Cry" started playing over the in-store speakers. Kiara started singing along and then Calli joined in with her. When questioned about why she even knew that song in the first place, she played it off by saying something to the effect of "It was just on the radio all the time when I was growing up, it's not like I listened to it on loop or anything."

Karen. Come on. We all know you were that basic white girl when you were younger and there's no point in hiding it. The reason why people like her so much isn't because of the gap between cool and cute, but because she's a massive dork. It's the equivalent to finding out that Vin Diesel loves D&D.


This isn't the first time I've noticed something like this, but it seems a lot of the talent work off a single monitor. Gura and Ame have both said that they play their Switch by looking at it the capture through OBS, and then you have Calli who, despite having 4 monitors, only one of them is actually a regular computer monitor and the others are just various screens (tablet, repurposed TV, old laptop) but at least she has multiple displays. I wonder how any of them can actually stream properly with such a setup. The only other person I can think of who actually has more than one is Botan, whose gamer rig has 3 monitors all mounted on brackets positioned above her head. If you ever watch a Botan stream, you'll notice that she's in the classic "gamer slouch" since her neck is craning to look at those things.

Now that I think about it, you can actually figure out a lot about where the girls' setups are at just by looking at their eye tracking; the one thing that hololive (software) has above its competition is the eye motion tracking. I think the riggers have been getting better at mouth movements as well, but every single model's eyes look exactly where you think they're looking. Suisei's tetris streams are a prime example.

The dedicated Hololive youtube translation channels I know are NexatG -> mostly Kiara, blueAwoo -> HololiveEN focused, Xilky Tofu did HololiveCN when they still existed, Jin Teramachi -> Okayu, Steven H -> Roboco, IAmVisco -> Ayame, FloatingGhost -> Kanata.
 
Been lurking for a hundred page, so fuck it, I'll made an account and join in.

Suisei got several with vary degree of compentency -> Osekkaiおせっかい, Pfaff's Vtuber Translation, RZ Hoshiyomi.

Add to that you got Tengoku and Sushi for Subaru.

Can't wait to spreg about Coco, Mori, and Suisei with you all.

Not a translator, but this guy archives and makes 'medleys' of Suisei streams.

Isn't the squeakiness part of her speech impediment, or is that just the really rough "ch" sounds at the end of everything due to her short tongue?

Its the tongue, she has done the onee-san voice before, she can drop it whenever she wants. the "ch" whoever remains no matter how much she tries.

That sounds about right for Matsuri. She'll superchat other VTubers with the money she gets from people simping for her.
