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

[ArgoKnight]

So Gura just said she ate a "hot dog" today, a COLD hot dog, wrapped in a TORTILLA. Also, the sausage was vegan...
Someone please get her a nutritionist.

 

[Cubanodun]

giving her that outfit and making her flat as a fucking board is ridiculous.

Have you see her cousins? her creator like to flipflop between flat as a board and THIGHS

Also, the sausage was vegan...

BY ALLAH THAT SHARK DOESNT KNOW SHAME

 

[Thomas Talus]

Some interesting Gura roommate lore this stream. She auditioned for a song performance in school and didn't get it, which discouraged her for a long time. Her knowledge of singing techniques seems to have come entirely from watching videos on YT, and she lacks the confidence for belting. And she doesn't remember singing as part of her auditioning for HL, which if true could mean that she's one of the biggest windfalls they've ever had.

Nothing has been uncovered- and likely never will unless Pikamee or tmsk decide to leak whatever happened post-vtuber life; However the two rrats I've seen float around that aren't "dude she smoked Mori's secret weed stash she smuggled into Japan and FUCKED Pikamee in front of Tomoshika lmao" are.

1. She's a Civil Servant and got fired because she legally cannot have a 2nd job.
2. Someone related to her is a politician so she quit/got fired because of the general taboo in Japan of politicians being involved in anything related to the entertainment history (which has in the past had ties to the Yakuza).

I don't remember if it was posted in thread or not, but this is Gyari's statement, official translation. He does say he talked with Monoe and the others before they reached the decision, so it wouldn't be something as binary as those two possibilities and probably nothing as horrifying as eating a baby where she definitely needs to go, no discussion. And just to mention it because it's something that pisses me off about a lot of the rrats, VOMs isn't some massive corporation, the organization is pretty much Gyari and the girls.

Ina just said there are going to be a few announcements during the EN collab tomorrow. Hope it's related to either 3D Debuts or Gen 2, though I'm not exactly expecting either this soon. More realistically I'm guessing maybe announcing a song by Gura, maybe Ame or Ina.

Announcing a song is a number of announcements short of a few though and there's only so many things it could be. It's a few months after the singer auditions, so we should hear something about that now. Gura is working on music, so it might be that. Kiara is going to have some dumb thing to announce because she's super important. When you mentioned songs by Ame or Ina, I started thinking that Calli and Gura both seem like the type of people who would have an easier time working on stuff for others rather than themselves, so don't count them out.

In wilder territory, Ina was brushing up on her Japanese today and reminiscing about previous trips (though obviously the subject was related), so maybe she's planning a trip to Japan with some off-collabs planned?

After Roberu's 3D, I'm going full anti-EN3D. Why waste the resources when they could be getting nice L2D costumes? ID Gen 1 got theirs 4 or 5 months after debut when overseas ventures were still a dark money pit so I'll be a little pissed if we don't hear any news of them coming.

Gura said (I think it was the members chat+drawing) she was working on more than one original song. We had a lot of Calli and Kiara original material, so it's only logical that we're going to get something from the other 3.

Also, Gura asked Calli about her song recording process on stream on their last collab, so... Here's hoping.

I don't remember which stream it was, but it's public and she mentioned she had 5! songs she was working on.

She's pretty much a natural and would likely even be better if she got formal training. Her voice is perfect for those lingering, high notes that a lot of folks with lower natural registers struggle with. Her take on "Part of Your World" just now is really well-done.

I don't remember which stream it was, but it's public and she mentioned she had 5! songs she was working on.

IIRC, it was one of her streams prior to her MC collab with Calli since I remember how timely it was that she made it a point to pick Calli's brain about her songwriting process during the collab.

 

[Terminal Lurker]

Isn't these "phone calls" just a way of her saying that shes going to poop?

"Idol meeting" is the phrase for that. Most of her phone call interruptions I've witnessed really are so brief that they don't even feel like she so much as took a piss.

I was hoping Ame's trip was more holo related, like an AmeSame off collab or something, but I guess that's still a pipe dream.

"Business trip related to office relocation" to paraphrase. I.E. she's just checking out the new place. Said she needs more space. Improved internet is a big hope of a side bonus. Though who's to say the new location isn't coincidentally closer to Gura? If everyone is sure Ina is in Canada yet she still managed to meet up with Ame for an off collab I don't see why an off collab with Gura wouldn't happen in the future. That said, business comes first.

 

[CptnSnshn]

She's traveling to DC to get rid of a certain someone because the cute pepe frog told her to.

I can't belive Amelia Watson is atcually @SIGSEGV

 

[kadmckool]

It'd be funny as shit if it ever leaks that all those "phone calls" that have interrupted her through many a stream was him being a dick and not actually EnMa or family with bad timing. That said I don't see it personally. I have a hard time believing someone as addicted to streaming as she is with some hikki tendencies would at all be fit to maintain a long distance relationship. Besides with owning 3 pets and clearly having kept in touch with family, she's in good company. She could move on in a week.

So we move on to stalker ex boyfriend act for Ame now? The fall out will be like those cliche KDrama.

Today is Dagger birthday and Calli right now drawing her.

Goddamn why is ultra super mega hyper Nenechi so cute?

 

[Rezza]

Edit: I was also kinda curious about the Monoe thing and found this earlier. It's the same theories we've already seen, but it goes into a bit more detail about them.

I can't read Japanese, what does it say?

Did they even announced Gen6 auditions? I thought they were focusing on the EN Vsinger and the second group...because apparently HoloEN is going with theming for each debut as opposed to generations of disconnected characters. Probably learning from the success of HoloFantasy that having a unified theme works.

Well, considering the production cycle of each gen, now should be the time they're preparing for a new gen release. Maybe they're just waiting till Nene's 3D model is done to start the new gen process

1. Someone related to her is a politician so she quit/got fired because of the general taboo in Japan of politicians being involved in anything related to the entertainment history (which has in the past had ties to the Yakuza).

Okay, this rrat is gay because Yakuza, despite their reputation, is shunned by the society. The only business that has relations with yakuza are shady ones like delivery health (prostitution), gambling, host/hostess, and porn. Mainstream entertainment did have a bit of relation with Yakuza, but its a minefield. There was a recent scandal involving a comedian taking up gigs from yakuza and it became a huge scandal.

Besides, its impossible for Monoe to be a politician since all of politicians in Japan are such a dinosaurs they can barely comprehend the basics of internet, even the younger ones. You expect those kind of people to understand technology enough to become a Virtual Youtuber?

With the border closed, Ina ain't meeting with Watson at the moment. Ii read that Watson broke up with the guy after he cheated, but there was no proof given of that. Even though she is Vshojo. Silvervale's face tracking puts Hololive to shame, a bunch of the HoloJP don't even have their mouths move correctly (or at all) when they talk.

To be fair, tracking tech can be a crapshoot even if you throw trannyshark levels of money towards rigging.
If nothing else, I like that you can tell who wears glasses, the bane of eye tracking.
The eye spazzes are hard to miss.
My ratt is the shork has figured this out, so that she takes them off whenever she gets a wink request.
