Which makes me wonder, after Matsuri (who was supposed to be a sweet "proper" idol), who has strayed the most from their original character? (Haachama doesn't count since she's a different persona).

hello
It's the 3rd freaking day. And it is definitely a strength that Kiara understands and speaks more Japanese than her counterparts. She'll find a balance that fits, but I'm sure things feel extremely overwhelming and experimental for all of them. She could turn out to be the collab queen of Hololive EN.

I can't understand why people complain about Kiara speaking Japanese, because all of my favorite foreign Vtubers are ones that do partial English, because I can follow along better. I'm sure it's probably the same for a lot of the people complaining, which is hypocritical. You enjoy the JP Vtubers better when you can understand them, surely you can let the JP viewers have the same fun with one member of EN?

this is pretty much where i'm at. i saw a lot of japanese tweets like 'i couldn't understand anything but felt happy when i heard japanese. i understand overseas bros now'

meanwhile kiara has been doing this for over four hours and is going to die

EDIT: wait, is it 3 hours? i can't discern time any more, danke schoen

Yeah Kiara's gonna be fine. She's 3+ hours deep on a SC reading stream and still going strong.

Well, she's dying, but the SCs are still going strong. We need a danke schoen counter, it must be in the thousands at this point.

Also I feel like there's gonna be a slingshot effect where kiara feels like she has to make up for the other EN members having an amazing talent and works herself half to death to "catch up" and just massively surges. Gonna predict she'll end up being a collab queen who dips as easily into a pekora stream as she does into a Gura or Ina stream, and the big thing that seems to really expand a vtuber's audience is doing collabs.

I think SCs are turned off for the moment. It's at least not an option for me. Which is perfectly fine, there's only so long someone could do this and not get burned out.

She's got great energy for doing collabs, too. I really want to see a Kiara and Amelia collab, because both of them are really good at keeping the energy level up and I'd love to see them bounce off each other.

I think the stream that sparks it off will be a weekly Kiara Subaru collab where they bring in the various introverted hololive members and burn them to a crisp with their brightness

They'll call it between two birds.

Kiara is going to absolutely explode once the collab embargo lifts and she gets to do a senpai grand tour.

If you had told me a week ago that the most 'idol-like' member of the team was going to be the toku chicken, I wouldn't have believed you.

Pika was at like, 50,000 back at the start of August! she's beaten the HoloID girls at this point, collaborated with Choco and Suisei... does her continuing success count as an underdog story?

I just got into vtubers a few days ago when I saw some clips of Korone's DOOM streams. Seeing the beginning of the Hololive EN people has been really fun, and now I might be in the rabbit hole.

I loved it how Kiara got some food and when she started eating it her avatar picked up the noise and started doing the mouth movements. She alternated between eating and laughing at how silly the chewing avatar looked.

A lot of them have preset positions for their arms/hands that they can switch between, it's just that none of them tend to bother much. Calliope does it sometimes to mover her scythe around.

Matsuri just sent a superchat to Callie and she's struggling to keep up. This is such wholesome content.

EDIT: I just google translated what she wrote and it's literally "Sūpāchattotāimu". I think the meme review stream got to her.
