Brunom1 posted:I thought people were exaggerating, but Gura might actually have a shot at beating Korone and Fubuki to the 1mil mark: she's set to pass Coco today, and might well beat Aqua and Pekora by the weekend. Trihugger posted:When Gura hit 600k subs, people were saying that surely she couldn't maintain, but she's only been getting faster as time goes on. I think before the karaoke stream she was at 16k average. As far as I know, she's coming from from the maybe unprecedented situation of having been a youtuber with more subscribers than any individual Hololiver prior to starting with Hololive. Those fans seem to have caught on to who Gura is and are coming over, so she had an unusually big pre-existing reservoir and the tap's been left running. This isn't to say she's not brought in a frankly huge number of new people with e.g. shark karaoke, but it does seem to say: she's very very good at being popular online

Fubuki's current growth is slower than either Korone or Gura, and probably won't hit a million for over a month. Korone and Gura are both on target to hit that mark in a few weeks. I think it's practically a coin flip which of those two gets there first, but I would bet on Fubuki getting there third. But then, anything can happen in a few weeks

the prospects of Coco/Haachama collabs with holoEN have been talked about a lot in the past but drat the idea hits different now that we've actually gotten to know the EN crew, actual EN/JP collabs are immanent, and so are Coco and Haachama's returnshomeless snail posted:The billibilli fanbase is hardcore and is driven by big volunteer subbing teams that are dedicated to each person, the Fubuki team disbanded after she talked about wanting to eat takoyaki with Coco I don't go on bilibili, but Gura took a swat at the hornet's nest and I still see her getting tons of Chinese subtitle vids on Youtube. Wonder how much of this was just the idiosyncracies of that one team? Might another team fill the void?

It's pretty clear she's super interested in everything about making music, and probably moreso than anyone else Hololive's brought on board before. As talented as the singers Hololive has recruited can be, they tend to do a lot of covers, and don't tend to write their own songs (though that does happen). She's clearly in her element when it comes to music in a way most of the Hololivers aren't. The 3D concerts are probably a big enough deal Cover can assign people to things like songwriting. With Calli, she just does all that stuff herself, so there's no reason she can't just do a concert on her own which is something more than a karaoke stream.

At risk of some redundancy with what Lt. Lizard has said but I'd already typed it up when the last several posts went up: It's worth considering that since Cover wants to recruit proven content creators, it's not like everyone that comes on board Hololive is looking to get attention for themselves that they otherwise wouldn't be getting. Plenty of their vtubers seem like they'd be people who'd be successful doing things solo because they were people who were successful doing things solo. It's not like Cover is just taking unpolished talents and training them to the point Cover's own involvement becomes redundant, as common as thinking through this stuff with that narrative lens has become. They can and do recruit people who are veteran enough they could easily do things on their own but still see some incentive in becoming part of the broader Hololive collective.

Calli's made comments about Kiara coming over to her house to annoy her (see "bottom left" vid I linked above) which in retrospect was probably literally happening edit: SpartanIvy posted:I saw someone say Gura lives in Australia. Anyone know if that's true? I desperately want a Gura and Haachama collab, preferably with cooking. I doubt it mostly because I live in PST time and she's always streaming at times convenient for me. Sometimes people twist themselves in knots trying to interpret Gura's accent (some even insisting she must have a native language other than English). But it never sounded like anything to me (though I admit I have a poor ear for accents) and she just strikes me as culturally American. It does amuse me the Japanese fans seem to find her most difficult to understand out of the EN crew, though. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Haachama collab eventually anyways, though.

KajiTheMelonMan posted:Is there one of these Holos that are a good starting point? The vtuber wiki seems to give a bit of an overload of info and who to start from. The 5 Hololive English people, Calli, Kiara, Ina, Amelia and Gura, are absurdly popular compared to how recently they debuted (only a bit over a month ago), and I'd say their recent content is intentionally accessible since they were Hololive's first foray into a new market. They mention and interact with their Japanese counterparts often enough it'll probably ease you into it. Also Coco's thrice-weekly "news" show on Hololive, AsaCoco, did a lot to really solidify the idea of there being a Hololive "universe" rather than it just being a disparate grab bag of vtubers, and she just started making those again today. It's not a serious show but it's still probably how a lot of people came to follow Hololive as a whole rather than just individuals. She also writes English subtitles for those herself and people expect that part to continue (though they take a bit to appear)

KajiTheMelonMan posted:Japanese Holos reaching out to English audiences by speaking English? Or English Holos (does such a mass market thing exist?) I don't think anyone really appreciated just how much of an English language market was just laying there for Hololive, let alone anyone actually associated with Hololive themselves People were saying in this thread that Hololive English would probably end up doing just as well as Hololive Indonesia or Holostars (the all-male subgroup) which are some of the smaller corners of the Holo-world (which is too bad because they put out great stuff). And I don't think that talk wasn't out of any malice so much as "why wouldn't it be like that, they try experiments like this all the time and they make a relatively minor splash" In any case they're all new English-speaking Holos as has already been mentioned, but the rest are doing way more outreach to English speakers than before. It's probably entirely attributable to the numbers the English branch actually started to bring in, because jesus christ

Bloody Pom posted:Who wants to bet Coco will quickly drop her character accent and go full southern twang while collabing with HoloEN? I hope so. I like when she brings this energy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FID9pn2Fczw But I'm kind of betting that since getting the ENs to cuss in English is such a low bar to clear she's going to try to get them to say stuff in Japanese without knowing what they're saying Liar Lyre posted:YouTube recommended me a video of pre-Hololive Gura. At least it sounded A LOT like Gura. It felt wrong. Talorat posted:Yeah enough people are subbed to both channels that the YouTube algorithm is making a habit of recommending her older videos to her newer fans. Unfortunately probably no way to fix it without human intervention so I can only imagine it'll become common knowledge before too long :/ The obvious way to prevent it would be for her to actually delete or private her pre-hololive videos, but not only has she not done that, she's actually posted music to her pre-Hololive Spotify account since starting out as Gura. That seems to suggest she's pulling a Coco and keeping her pre-Hololive material right where it was and she's more "dormant" rather than "dead" as her old self. So this is probably going to keep happening
