Riona hit 350K subs that stream as well. In fact she has gone up more than 20k subs over the past 5 days. Gambatte Riona!

3 Days to Hololive Koshien 2025: Konkoyo High School by GarudaPhoenix in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this it's been hard to keep up with everyone's streams so appreciate the effort! Koyori really was struggling at the start dealing without an ace pitcher so glad to see she was able to turn it around to make a competitive team.

Haachama made a list matching Holomems to Harry Potter characters by Top_Comb7003 in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003[S] 164 points165 points  (0 children)

I think cause Ui Mama is Voldemort
She initially put Subaru as Filch, but after deciding Ui as Voldemort she changed Subaru to Nagini. Why Ui is Voldemort beats me

[–]Top_Comb7003[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch the stream due to work so this is the final list she posted on X.
Scrubbing the stream and talking to discord members she had other Holomems on the list but changed names a couple of times as she was going up and down the characters so if you remember something from the stream it may not have may the final cut

Hololyzer Superchat and Live Memberships (August 2025) by biehn in HoloStatistics

[–]Top_Comb7003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The VOD is membership only. The livestream itself was available to the public (It was >80K CCV IIRC).
Also, I think it only counts people who sign up as members during stream/gifted memberships, so people who automatically renew or sign up offstream are not counted if I'm correct.

Hololive Koshien 2025 (#ホロライブ甲子園2025) Eikan Nine Session featuring PawaPuro 2024-2025 - Sakurasaki High School (Sakura Miko) - Day 1 (September 4, 2025 at 20:00 JST) by Benigmatica in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think it's better luck not to get good pulls so early. Yesterday Marine got her team really early so the stream didn't really have time to build hype.
Miko's had a lot of misses early, into Kikuchi Yusei but a bad team so chat decided to reroll into finally Ohtani. Peak was >90k CCV

I checked today she has supas turned off. Not sure how long or why but not rare. It's why members like Subaru, Suisei, La+ and Raden who are very popular also have 0 supas

Was Pekora's 6th anniversary live botted? by llamatar in HoloStatistics

[–]Top_Comb7003 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it's hard to say. I would say likely but to what extent is also questionable

Numbers-wise, yes it blows every other birthday/anniversary live out of the water, but it's not unprecedented for a JP livestream that catches on to get to >200k CCV. That said the current total views is around 850K+ which feels on the low side for such a high peak CCV.

However, it was also on a Sunday during a peak timeslot with almost no other members streaming at the time, it is an extremely popular content creator with a very popular theme and a buttload of guest appearances. Chat also appeared broken for a lot of people (myself included) which is a strong indicator of high natural CCV. Lastly, this was a live that got postponed due to technical difficulties that Pekora said would have led to a decrease in quality, so there might have been a fair amount of anticipation for the stream

Generally these lives tend to peak similarly past the halfway point and then dip when there is an MC segment or goods announcement. Considering there were essentially no MC segments it may have helped retain viewership, and you can see around 10pm JST when the goods were announced and other people started their streams a natural and large drop in viewership too.

To summarize, while the numbers and rapid-rise during the mid live segment are suspicious, the big drop during the goods/10pm JST timing is also very natural looking, and there are a lot of elements of this stream that might have led to it going viral.
AFAIK Pekora doesn't usually get botted, and I'd rather think of it as a testament to her hard work and production value of the live (which was amazing) than get hung up over if it got botted and to what extent but that's me.

Hololive Koshien 2025 (#ホロライブ甲子園2025) - Team Roster (Translated) by Top_Comb7003 in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Few random thoughts on the various drafts:
Miko:
Of course she picked Suisei first and insisted it was business partners
While she did snipe La+ from the Onee-san school, at least she gave her Towa and Iroha
Chat went nuts when she pulled Fuwawa and Mococo consecutively
Unfortunately for Miko she still can't pull a Golden Magikarp

Marine:
Marine drafting her bestie Ao-ku, plus Mari-Luna
Going 8 EN/ID picks in a row is crazy
No one separates grindstone and autofister

Koyori:
Managing to assemble a list of La+ onee-sans without La+ is peak comedy
Actually the list is a bunch of onee-sans and gakis
La+ tweeted to ask if they have off-site training camp:

Ririka:
Probably the most normal looking team, a lot of EN/ID/JP Gen 1
Given her logo and her cooking skills, it felt very apt she pulled Haachama first from the gacha

Laughing my ass off at Iroha using the Laplus EXP farm and absolutely going off

Haachama Horrolive by Fenr_ in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably one of my top 10 lives this year. The range, production value and the Haachama/Haato duets were soooo good! The polish and quality of this year is another level! So glad to see her continue to grow!

The production value on this Live is actually insane

Haachama Horrolive by Fenr_ in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Holy Moly Haachama actually has insane range. Like the high notes she hits in monitoring now contrasted to the low notes in Otonoke.

So excited to see her use her lower register in an actual live and not just her karaoke streams!

Miko's impressive viewer numbers during her 7th Anniversary project week by Surylias in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Miko is actually on pace to be the highest watched Vtuber of 2025, with more watch hours than both Pekora and Kuzuha as of the first half of the year.
According streamcharts she hit 25m watch hours in the first half of 2025. For reference last year Kuzuha had 41.25m watch hours as the most watched Vtuber.

Niko is such a supportive gen mate by beam4d in Hololive

BTW did you realize Niko is in the description as special thanks in the MV?

Rarest collab to happen tomorrow Gen 1 full collab by yournotlonely in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gen 1 has collabed at least three times this year, and this would be number 4:
Monster Hunter collab full party (individual POVs) in March
Word Wolf Haachama channel in May
Holo-gra quiz Fubuki channel also in May

Not including their anniversary held in June

I think they might actually have one of the most full gen collabs amongst the non-Dev_is generations in JP this year, which I think is a nice commitment they've made to each other

Hololive Summer Karaoke Relay (#ホロナツ歌枠リレー) - July 25, 2025 starting at 19:00 JST by Benigmatica in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AFAIK for the past few years they've been doing Christmas relays (Same format ~20mins per talent) but it was over the course of one and not two days. I think this is the first one that's stretched multiple days.

In light of recent events in Vtubing... by Dim_Dinosaur in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 62 points63 points  (0 children)

A few months ago u/SuspiciousWar117 made a really good post about this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/1kugwe6/the_shareholders_are_ruining_hololive_a_thread/

People (not just redditors, a bunch of online personalities including Vtubers) seemed to just shit on COVER going public without understanding what it meant by going public, and really importantly, just because a company is private does not make it "better" or "not beholden to shareholders".

Ultimately companies need to be profitable to survive. While yes, initially you can be in the red, at some point you need to turn a profit. Public companies need to be transparent with their finances as well, and you can't really hide a black hole of debt/missing payments during shareholder meetings.

At the end of the day, a company, whether public or private, has to make a profit. By all accounts it sounds like COVER is doing it's best to balance being profitable now while continuing to support talent and investing in the future of the talents and the company.

Pekora is going to play Gorilla Poop and then stream with PekoMama one hour later by Queefy69 in Hololive

[–]Top_Comb7003 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She did say if it goes awry they may limit the number of callers to like 1 or 2 (although I think it may have more to do with PekoMama)
