Ayame has mentioned being in university and studying for exam season and also having some health issues so it's probably related to that. Glad she's back, shes very chill to listen to and one of my favs.

Aye, but what got people worried is that there was absolutely no info with regards to her from anyone in Hololive. Up until last week, when Kagura Nana said she spoke with her and that she was okay, there was complete radio silence.

You'd think that, whatever was going on, either she or the management would've at least made a pro forma "Ayame's taking a break for X weeks" to tide the fanbase over.

Ayame has a god tier design (IMO) and a great voice but hardly ever streams, she is one of those holos that is really just doing it as a side thing. I wish she'd put out more streams.

Holy poo poo, I didn't know that Haachama was using the HoloEN hashtag in her videos. That's loving hilarious and I hope she leans into the "I'm part of Hololive EN" with Amelia later this week.

Before the 3 week ban, Haachama started the "Hololive EN takeover" storyline. It was goofy and silly specifically because none of the EN crew were allowed to collab with her yet, but who knows what she's planning now.

The only reason why that tweet exists is because fubuki told her to. Ayame didn't think tweeting to update was a big deal.

Pikamee simultaneously being scared but also amazed at the technology of the game transforming the level around her is really sweet. lol.


Re: her mouth always being open - One of the things I dislike about some of the hololive home3Ds is I think they look worse when the mouth capture isn't as good compared to the Live2Ds. Coco with her mouth stuck in :D mode is funnier on Live2D than 3D, and I wish they'd focus more on the mouth sensors for the home3d. They need to move the mouth like every other word at least, if not syllable or else it starts to get to me lol

I do wonder if it’s a case where it’s actually been kinda bad for the CN branch for a long time, or they feel like they aren’t getting the value out of their cut to cover anymore?

It does strike me as weird that marine and fubuki and Aqua have more deals with Chinese gacha game companies than the cn girls themselves, but that’s probably just a timing issue.

Seems like spirits are high for the HoloCN girls, despite the situation. I’m actually excited to see what Artia and Civia can do now as independents compared to under Cover. I hope they all can find success even if it’s without overseas fans.

HoloCN is shockingly new. Yogiri was first in September 2019 and Artia was last in April 2020. I assume being limited to billibilli didn’t help them grow popularity either.

People were talking about the pre-vtuber identities and I kinda wonder, how do these companies scout them? Is it like, auditions? Or do they pick up already well known streamers? If it was the latter I'd imagine it'd be pretty much impossible to keep their previous identity a secret without being able to do a distinctly different voice.

Applications are open now for Hololive's next JP generation! I think HoloEN had like ~hundreds(?) of applicants so I imagine they would have an existing pool of candidates to reach out to for a Gen2 / may open auditions again.

Edit: Ame is doing a plug DJ thing on her SC stream and I love that concept as I used to be big into goon.fm years ago but this plug website sucks rear end its driving me insane. Let me in! LET ME INNNNNNNNN@!!!!
