New HoloGra is a promotion for Bloom and an anime season final episode. They address the whole "Hololive is an idol group" "AKB47" "Seiso Idol?" stuff. Several members have already express the sentiment before (I know Suisei said exactly the same when she was ask why she called herself an idol and not singer/streamer), but it's nice to have an official standing we can refer to from now on.
Probably won't stop Reddit from betting the zombie horse of Yagoo's broken dream, but whatever.
Cover has felt that way for a while, ever since they dropped the Ye Olde Hololive seiso idol act (Coco and some others helped with that) in what was probably around early Summer of last year. Hell, even the Bloom "info" tab on the concert website says that the talents don't
need to sing nor dance to be idols; as long as they themselves consider themselves to be idols, they are. Hololive has more or less just become a troupe of entertainers with various talents and abilities, not even so much an "idol group," in my eyes. To me, the "idol" thing is just a title to separate them from other Vtubers at this point.
But yes I do agree that the "YAGOO's dream is dead" line is fucking
tired.
Eh, the Taiwan thing was just a means to an end. They were just pissed off that Coco didn't want to be bothered with Bilibili and probably partly due to the fact that she's American. As most people know Coco can be very stubborn, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Outside of the Bilibili thing just look at her stance against getting anything Nintendo related. Bad timing for mentioning that though as I think she mentioned that she was getting a Switch, probably as punishment for oversleeping that one time.
But hopefully, she gets some English mods too, though I think that Coco's chat is surprisingly JP dominant, even more so than a lot of other JP girls so we'll see.
And Luna's streaming again. I really hope she doesn't have to go through any more shit in the foreseeable future, she's gone through enough.
Edit:
Coco's also going to play Valheim at 23 JST on Mildom if you want to support her without Cover taking a cut.
I'm also of the mind that the chinks had it out for her for a long time but just took their chance and shot their shot when she dared utter "Taiwan," to use it as an excuse, so they'd have some convoluted "political issue" to hide behind if and when the rest of the world asked why they were acting like petulant faggots..... not that it stops us from calling them that anyway, since they are. The most maddening thing about the bugmen is they're so brainwashed that they actually expected everyone else to side with them and demand Coco's graduation.
Haha, funny.
Also, Luna still having it a bit rough. Her wrist is healing, she got her stitches out I believe, but she said on her roommate Twitter the other day her throat is bothering her yet again, and went to the doctor
yet again. The girl just has not been 100% since, like, late November. I feel for her.
My immediate complaint is why Cover didn't put priority on getting the costumes done in time? They more than likely have the capital, but did they see no money in it?
You're right about the costumes being done, but Luna said on Twitter right after Stage 1 was over that hers had some kind of modeling bug that the team just couldn't figure out how to fix in time for Beyond The Stage. So, the rest of yonkisei decided that they'd wait so they could all do the idol outfit reveals together at a later date and time, which was nice. Disappointing for the fans though, we obviously wanted to see them transform up on the big stage, which was the original plan.
I'm just wicked pissed I'm gonna be at work and miss the reveals live. Oh, well though.
