There really could not have been a more perfect time for HoloEN to debut than right now. If they did it a year ago or next year, they wouldn't have flopped or anything, but it wouldn't have been as crazily successful

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
This also reminds me that the newest batch of Nijisanji Indonesia debuted some time back and not only did Bonnivier has everyone thirsty for his voice, he even did an ASMR stream for his 10k subscriber celebration and you could tell that a huge chunk of that chat started questioning their sexuality right then. Didn't help that he was crying from gratitude at times. And this is a guy with 10k subs total after a month!



Also he pledged to do a cover of Bakamitai from Yakuza so he cannot not be a cool guy.

For some real depressing numbers, Calliope, Amelia, and Gura each individually have more subs after a little under two weeks than all 8 members of Holostars Gen 1+2 combined. Ina is only like 2k behind, and Kiara is only like 30k behind.

It's clear that investing in falsetto lessons is the path to follow.

Also on the Nijisanji main branch one of the fairly recent additions recently mostly just plays chill piano and sings vocaloid songs to about 67k subscribers, point is there's space for all kinds and all sizes and if you're in one of the big companies you're probably not that poorly off even if you're not amongst the top dogs.

Well that and also I like to find excuses to highlight male Vtubers because their almost complete non-presence on the Hololive side which most EN folk watch might make it seem it's all just wacky anime girls, which definitely isn't the case.

Anyway, forget numbers and listen to some calming piano.

Yeah, things are kind of just perfect for Hololive En to debut right now and once they've got their foot in the door they're pretty safe. Sure, there's a lot of vtubers who aren't bringing in the biggest numbers but they don't need to. They just need a dedicated following that enjoy their particular appeal. Trying to hard to get your vtubers to have broad mass appeal is not the way to go. Right now they're capturing a larger portion than a JP debut would due to not having the language barrier they had in the past. If we see more English vtubers pushed by corporations in the future, I expect initial numbers to potentially be even larger but not necessarily repeat the same growth.

I hadn't actually watched that particular piano stream of Tojiro's I linked, so I only just realized that at one point he starts having some technical problems but never actually stops playing the piano. He just switches to only using his left hand while fixing things with his right, and no one in the chat noticed before he mentioned it. What a guy.

Also interesting differentiation so far in HoloEN. Calli has multiple perks for each tier, but says member only VODs will eventually go public. Amelia gives access to everything at $5 tier but the member streams won't be archived.

Choose wisely, simps

It's kind of weird to me how Holostars is almost this... vestigial... thing. Or maybe it just seems that way because Ichikara is the org it makes sense to make comparisons with, and the Nijisanji dudes aren't cordoned off in their own little neighborhood for weird idol-logic reasons.

It's funny how the Holostars are supposed to male idols and then here you got Kagami Hayato with his 3D debut being a million-view breaking virtual concert that has his entire band being mo-capped and an official collabo with Duel Masters

I could make an effort post going over why this is an incredibly inane footnote of a fact that's beyond Coco's control and could never even come close to fazing a powerhouse Vtuber like her (on top of likely being forgotten in a day).

But, honestly, it's not a subject worth the energy.

It is when she set her stream to Members Only and pro-China posters paid money to join and also paid money to superchat and flame her

In true heroic Coco fashion, saving a sister and making fat stacks of cash while doing so

Pekora's probably had the worst history with mainlanders out of hololive so I'd expect her to be firmly on team Taiwan #1.

For me these last few weeks have been a chain of realisations as first I found out a funny anime girl played Doom, then discovered there were a lot of these streamers, then discovered that they are secretly like fifteen of the top twenty streamers on youtube.

I wonder when Gura is gonna start busting out longer streams. She has pretty much only streamed in 1 hour blocks and always stops when she's gonna cross over another holoen stream.

Pleasantly surprised by Calli's ability to play Doom Eternal at a pretty okay level for someone who hasn't played the game before. The intro stage to the game is fairly murderous for complete newbies.

They spent a lot of time trying to make it a smooth experience on a pad, to the point of having one of the devs do a pre-release stream of a level on Nightmare mode only to reveal he was playing with a pad the whole time.
