I'm gonna make a "bold" assumption here and say that most of you don't have experience with women in their early 30s. Well I have and it's no secret that they (or at least 80%) constantly have

Thing is that she turned 22 just 2 days ago.

【Minecraft】4th GEN PIXEL ART MAKING!!!

* English translation of the titles was what YouTube gave me. Not my fault if it sounds weird.

Coco's stream description really saddens me again
"Proud to be member of Hololive 4th gen"

interesting take

Gen4 rushing to get their original song.
Gen1 had their original song and live last month.

Interestingly, when Coco made her announcement, Kakage, one of the two illustrators whose design is used for the audition characters, tweeted something that when translated by the app goes like "the next one is the Princess". I don't know whether it means literally, or figuratively

Spoiler: My thoughts on the whole thing coz I also need to vent somewhere

God damn why YOU of all people? I knew this was gonna happen eventually but it hit just as hard, and I'm not even a big fan, I just admire her greatly. Now I don't even wanna think how real OG Tatsunoko are feeling, honestly poor motherfuckers.
Coco is a pillar of not just hololive but the whole industry. What a loss... It took me literally one and a half days to digest it.

In any case, I'm sure Coco will be fine whatever she chooses to do and maybe one day she'll give us closure on the whole thing.

But until then.. here's my personal rrat:
Four months have passed after Cocos graduation, things were getting back to normal but out of nowhere, Marine, Aki and Kanata announce their graduation by the end of the year. All of the fans are big sad but in the year end Sports Festival Fubuki cheerfully waves goodbye saying "see you on the other side".
1st of January 2022: Big announcement, a new JP Vtuber agency releases a promo video that shows their first generation of talent. It goes insanely viral, the reason: We hear 3 very familiar voices in their cheerful new avatars. Although.. none of them is Coco's.
On their debut all 3 "new" talent mention they are ready to embark on a crazy new adventure with their very helpful manager "Yuujin - K" who will make guest appearances from time to time.

End.

Is this what people said that when someone is grieving, they come up with lots of scenarios in their head to cope?

I doubt that Haato will be next.
Her Nendoroid prototype was revealed just two weeks ago, and it will take some time until it can be preordered and even longer before it will be shipped.
Considering that Cocos merch will only be sold until her graduation, it would be exceptionally bad timing.
Also, her last stream was feet review.

Literally exactly what I was thinking about this morning, There a small part of me that wonders is this a ultra big brain play of coco genius plan in the long run to start her own being manager side of things and having the cream of the crop of the best vtubers currently going. Who knows, I aim to be optimistic...

Will we see Coco tribute on 2B2T?

I hope Towa follows through with her promise to start making Gen4-house. Unlikely that she'll finish it alone, Luna doesn't play minecraft much and Watame is caught up with other stuff at the moment. Maybe the kensetsus could pitch in their effort and expertise.

 

[SparklingWaves]

Chammers has no intentions of graduating, her member streams and posts are gushing love for haatons. Her streams have become more sporadic because of studying at a university, but she's still doing her usual weird content with little restrictions. Past week had the foot review, and this sunday she's doing a tarantula recipe contest which will without doubt have some beyond cursed fan submissions. And as someone before pointed out she's getting more merch too.

 

[Avokado]

To try and bring a light mood to things, what's some meaningful sponsorships you'd like to see the Holos pull in that aren't video games?

I really wanna see Watame get a deal with potato chips, cause those were a big snack food for her in the past.

The KFC Tweet is actually a reference to the BTS Meal that's released recently in McDonalds in Indonesia. It was a chaos to say the least, especially with the 'rona stuff.

Also KFC has been pandering into the meme world across the globe.

As expected. The pixels arround the text is kinda a giveaway.

Hololive arent that braindead. In Chinese Business sphere, once an enemy is always forever an enemy. Like, Coco's a living proof there, mate.

Still wouldn't put it past them. Business has no conscience, so the moment they find it viable to return, they will. And not with Hololive brand. That ship has definitely sailed.

I imagine some subsidiary of cover pushing entertainment technology in China is inevitable, as long as it doesn't end up affecting the girls (it 100% will) I couldn't really blame them as a business. Most we can do is hope they are on a permanent exclusion list for Chinese business, but I imagine if any Chinese business thinks it would be profitable and beneficial enough to sidestep that they would at the drop of a hat.

The real translation for that is as follows:

People are either still coping, or being overly cynical about the whole thing. So here’s something to note; Coco was able to make her grand move to retire because she knows it is financially viable to do so. Whether it’s shrewdness on her part or just a happy coincidence (considering she probably didn’t mean to accidentally stream her Asacoco format on her other channel that one time, I’m inclined to believe the latter), Kson being one of the worst-kept identities in all of hololive has also ended up being the perfect golden parachute. A mongrel with no motor functions can still type four letters on the search bar, and she’s been active as both without anyone ever raising an issue. Even when she requested a month hiatus after the Taiwan fiasco, for Kson it was just another day of streaming games and interacting with chat. Now that all the simps can easily find her, they can just migrate and give her a bigger portion of their donations without Cover needing to be involved or answering to a manager. With her subscription already reaching more than a third of Coco’s, she might even be earning more.

As for the other girls? Most don’t have such an option in the cards. Their alt accounts either require you to dig deep, consult a doxxing site with questionable verification in most cases, are literal who’s that struggled to gain views before they were picked up by Hololive, and/or are based in NND where most of the Youtube audience can’t figure out how to access. How are their donators expected to keep supporting them, set up a PayPal account? Only a handful have alts that are as widely known as Coco/Kson’s, and they each have little reason to return to them anytime soon; Noel for example can stream games as everybody’s favorite K-Cup knight and then follow up with ASMR streams featuring her literal K-cups without needing to drop either, Calli joining EN was one of the best things for her career in years, and etc. Only when they have absolutely no interest in streaming anymore will they finally decide to leave, because otherwise, unlike Kson, they would have to start back from square one.

Given how much I remember her talking about drinking it all the time, I wouldn't be surprised if Gura managed to get a monster sponsorship.


Edit: Walfie made one for Coco
View attachment 2249293

Imagine Gura being sponsored by Mountain Dew and Doritos lmao

As for Watame, she can be the perfect meat for her desired sponsorsheep. Lambassador, though sheep.

A fascinating take, and one I agree with. But I think the girls recognize this now. I'm certain they're watching Kson's subscriber count double after Coco announced her graduation and realizing what a great safety net Coco has.
I'd say only Gura and Calli have as badly kept secrets of past identities. I wouldn't be surprised if as a result of this, we see the girls start making personal YouTube accounts in the same vein. Particularly those from Nico Nico Douga.
It'd be a non-issue for them to be "found" by their fans on these hypothetical new accounts too after kson's graduation - the Hololive fanbase is rabid, second only to k-pop stans. And if they want to be found, they could just collab with Kson on their new accounts.
I wonder how long Coco's NDA with Cover lasts, and if Kson will talk about Cover or her life as Coco when it expires. I certainly hope so, it could give us insight we currently lack.
