The real issue with the collab was the poor communication. Like, basically all the discussion was limited to doko? and <name here> sus. Another reason why Kiara is so important to have around, so that everybody can feel ok to talk in their language of choice.

Not really? The JP/ID girls almost universally were enthusiastically using whatever bits of English they knew and clearly were enjoying themselves and were pretty happy about getting to play with their non-JP counterparts. Suisei even played off it by pretending to not know any English to ward off suspicion the one time she was imposter. It sucks that Gura got salty but even Ame was having a good time with what limited vocabulary she was able to come up with. As was mentioned earlier, if the only perspective you watched was Gura's then maybe it came off as a mess, but pretty much everyone else was having a blast :shrug:.

Welp, Aqua gave Coco a "konaqua *kaomoji*" during the Minecraft stream and, as you might imagine, insane antis are not happy to see the implosion of their narrative of how she is totally on their side and hates Coco, you guys.

Her stream already had some spam (plus a red SC with a hate message sent from HK, which is just...wow), bilibili subs are down, MC stream got 400+ dislikes which is way more than she usually has.

Dunno how her twitter tags are doing, but I imagine they might be crusading there as well.

Other than a couple questionable bots spamming tags and a Japanese blog post link mentioning the immediate stream reaction to her greeting Coco, Aqua's twitter tags are pretty much looking normal right now. The dislike bomb is pretty tiny all told and while I can't really comment on the bili numbers going down other than that was bound to start happening sooner or later, the only reddit coverage I've seen so far has been from users clearly trying to stir poo poo or who were going off info from aforementioned shitstirrers.

I'm curious, do we know if they already have characters designed when they hold auditions for a Gen, or do they recruit and then commission the design and rigging?

My understanding is that they help come up with the characters after the audition or as part of the audition process.

What started as a planned trip to The End eventually turned into a continued renovation of their front house into the Sinister House. Apparently neither of them realized in their chuuni fugue state that they'd been streaming for 6 hours either. Also near the end a merchant broke into Nene's room so they killed him, claimed his alpaca and named it Death Cerberus. Very powerful stream overall.

New main outfit will be released on Jan 31st, and will be made by the same artist who did the last one.

No explanation given with regards to the reason behind the change, but it says her outfit will look more idol-like (and, indeed, it looks that way judging by the outline).

Cover will probably never give an official explanation so we can only speculate, though considering her original design and recent events it's not too big a stretch to guess what the cause was.

As for the design, it's hard to tell too much from the outline, but looks like her hairstyle is remaining mostly the same, her outfit's getting a more idol-ish flair with a big ribbon on the back, and she has mismatched stockings.

Was it someone else's penguin house Subaru burnt down while trying to create some sort of chicken generator underneath?

Subaru tried to prank Pekora with a bunch of chickens looping on railways under her old Usaken HQ which was penguin-shaped, only to accidentally set it aflame in the process. She was then scolded by her parents on stream and told to apologize.

Has that ever happened on the JP gens? I'm going to assume that by the 3rd or 4th gen they would have already a healthy backlog of talents, I'm not sure. I know at least Nene had to apply 3 or 4 times until she got the role.

In Nene's case those applications were basically all one after the other during the same audition period, not across different gen auditions. She'd send an application, wait 2 weeks to see if she got a reply, then send out another.

Speaking of Nene, the 31st is just the new 2D outfit reveal right? Her 3D will happen later?

Her new design reveal is on the 31st, yeah, and her 3D debut's pretty much up in the air as to when it'll happen but is most certainly at least a couple months out. In the same stream as the Lamy pit water clip she talked about how the past couple months since the decision was made were pretty rough because of her falling behind her genmates and not even being able to join them in their 3D model testing.

Basically, Coco offhandedly mentioned Taiwan in one of her Asacoco streams as part of a segment talking about her viewer metrics according to Youtube, and it sparked a bunch of Chinese nationalists to wage a huge hate campaign against her (and the rest of Hololive to a lesser extent once it became clear they weren't going to cave in and fire her). The whole mess wound up causing Hololive to stop streaming on Bilibili and shut down their CN branch as well. Haachama also got a bit of hate for doing the same thing a day or two earlier but to a much lesser extent, and Coco's the only one whose hate brigade still has any legs.

She is, however, using the level select as a continue when you DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT in Sonic 3 since the game has save files. And it doesn't save if you start from the level select because you didn't pick a save file so she'll have to play through the entire game again if she wants to beat it with all the super emeralds. As opposed to just getting the emeralds and then skipping to the last level to see the new final boss

She's doing level select because the save file doesn't track which act you got to, so she was having to run through Carnival Night Act 1 ad infinitum while trying to figure out Act 2.

I don't recall if they did this, but was there an explicit condemnation of Coco's harassment?


It is frankly unacceptable that the million dollar idol management company lacks the staff for proper idol management.

Cover explicitly included a condemnation of harassment and promised legal action against it at the same time as the original suspension. And as mentioned, Cover does in fact have some amount of moderation going on in Coco's streams, but you can only do so much moderation against automated bots on a platform with such lovely moderation tools as Youtube and as a result of course you'll see some of the spam slip through the cracks.

Put Coco on Twitch, then.

Even Twitch isn't perfect but yes it is leagues better than Youtube in the stream chat moderation category. In terms of archival though, it's garbage, and it's not especially popular in Japan, either, last I checked, so it would probably have the issue of a good chunk of Coco's fanbase not migrating over.

I remember Marine talking about how Fubuki is big into TPRGs but I think that's T as in tabletop and not t as in tactics. She wasn't clear about it though.

Fubuki pretty frequently does Call of Cthulhu TRPG collabs with other vtubers both inside and outside of Hololive, so pretty sure that's what Marine is referencing.
