I think Hololive was deliberately creating a meme about it that HololiveEN was a myth, with the punchline being that all of the EN crew are mythical/mystery themed.
This is the specific thing I was thinking of:

When she was talking about rumours, she was actually making a joke about Coco Kaine, who I'd never heard of at the time, so no wonder I didn't understand it properly.

"Hololive doesn't have a US division right now," she said, keenly aware of the Cover Corp sniper with a laser sight trained on her forehead. That was on August 23rd. How quickly times change!

She wasn't lying, they have a Japan-based, English-language division. Coco never lies.

Woah. What's the story there? Did one of the vtubers doxx everyone else or something?

E: apparently the vtuber calling them a poo poo company was enough for them to shut down, thus proving her point.

I also signed up to patreon Iron Mouse after watching her collaboration stream from last week.

I'm always nervous to talk about Iron Mouse in this thread. While I started with Hololive clips, she was the first person I tried to catch live streams of before I moved in with my girlfriend a couple months ago. I think she's great, but I understand why her being so crass and tied to the hip with Melody and Silvervale would make some people uncomfortable. That said, she really is a wonderful little gremlin of a woman.

pekora has a much better chance than coco. Coco averages like ~1.5-2k subs a day while pekora is ~4-5k and almost at 700 right now.


unless fubuki's subs increase by ~2k to 6k a day korone should win at the current rate in 25 days.

Coco; I will go to the bathroom, hopefully we'll get some subscribers by the time I'm back.

Five minutes, $12,000 and 40000 subscribers later...

i am oddly into the coco karaoke stream even though i don't recognize like, most of these
she's gotten frighteningly good at doing the voice?



Pekora is my favorite for hitting 1 million first but she's not gotten as many translated clips lately I feel like/hasn't gone in on an English only gimmick stream. in a month if her and Kiara do some dirt together maybe that would be the right mix of algorithm and hype
Fubuki being the hype woman for Hololive antics is pretty good in itself

Definitely gonna be (best girl) Korone because of the Eekum Bokum meme and her recent English content.
I also can't stress enough how wonderful that English only Mario stream was earlier this week. I've already rewatched a lot of it multiple times. Meatballs, Vegetable Flower, Three Brothers, Independence Day, Have Confidence/No Confidence, whispered FAQ... it's just packed with memes.

On the other hand, if Gura can continue at 30k new subs every day... she has already surpassed Botan too.
It will probably tail off soon, but her growth has been insane, especially considering she has just six videos out so far.

It's Calli's old mic and she apologized for how it sounds even though she had to pack it up and ship it (overseas?) and she'll get a new mic with her superchat money and send Kiara her current mic (thus repeating the cycle)

I'm surprised karaoke streams like these aren't legal nightmares. I get there are a lot of precautions taken (only instrumentals for most of them, not being recorded, also apparently superchats aren't on) but even so I'd expect the big Youtube copyright hammer to come down.

Happy as long as it lasts though, Cocaraoke streams are fun

afaik they are completely legal in the US but the AI will strike anything that sounds the same regardless of whether or not it's fair use (due to being essentially a cover)

They both live in Japan. Calli keeps talking about her cheap wine in yen prices, making it unlikely she's anywhere else. Kiara streams at times that would be unrealistic for being in Europe or America.

A couple of Nijisanji streamers also currently streaming getting drunk at 4 in the morning, if we can do things like shitpost in random chats and get drunk way past our bedtime then why expect anything less from Vtubers

It's a bit toasty as they're rather intimate so viewer discretion adviced.
