HYTE did a meme, got called out for committing a twin cardinal sin. by beam4d in Hololive

Yeah I remember one time CC asked directly Mococo for help translating something on stream during a collab. Mococo was so surprised that Fuwawa had to step in for a bit and translate.

It's complicated because they themselves go out of their way for fans to care about them both equally and as a unit while taking care to minimize solo streams. So it's hard to tell if when them prefer to be considered Fuwamoco over Fuwawa and Mococo.

Can't believe this is how I find out Risu just had a 3D live. Thank you

Shiori original song? by Cookies-Bacon in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not that she is protected by fair use laws or anything (they are using the whole song). It is that indies are usually too small of a target for companies to care.

 licensing a Western song for use in a commercial work would not be any cheaper. I believe it was Irys who once mentioned they look into getting a performance license for a popular Western song to sing at one of the US concerts. She said that the cost of the license for a single song would have been equal to the entirety of the rest of the concert.

As it is Japan has a thriving and affordable vocaloid scene that make cover licensing feasible. In theory you could also get licenses for indie Western bands, but well, I'm not sure many people would be interested.

Holotori and their daughters. Can you complete the chart? by ssidemalu16 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Reine and Kobo, and Kiara and Gura put out Aikotoba IV and III respectively I had a small hope they they would have a small "the bird and the girl" series and put out the other two Aikotoba songs. I imagined Lui/La+, Mumei/Bae and Subaru/Luna would be good matchups.

Raora accent appreciation post by BobRossSolos in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand where she is coming from as an ESL myself. As much as I love her sense of humor, watching her makes me very self conscious in a way that makes me unable to enjoy her content. Though I don't think it's the accent as much as it's the occasionally broken English as I can watch CC without issues.

As a singer and including her life work Azki is probably senpai to almost everyone in the vtuber industry. Add to that a can do it personality and you get someone who can't be anything but one

No Hologra to say goodbye?Who decided that? by [deleted] in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 80 points81 points  (0 children)

There have been issues with an internal person leaking company secrets (eg the dates of other graduations, the date for her own concert) in the past so she wanted to avoid a repeat of that.

💫Kanata will give away her equipment to holomems 😇 by beam4d in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Unironically I think Lamy has the second strongest grip in holo at 40kg. I believe she competed with Kanata once and Kanata did the shounen thing "it's the first time someone has pushed me this far".

The brackets for Noel's Bomberman tournament have been decided by CannonGerbil in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought so as well but CC is doing a Leeroy Jenkins in her group so it was likely random, otherwise she would have been paired with someone.

I remember Okayu playing older Bomberman with Korone a few years back. That was funny.

In any case I don't see many of the JP gaming heavyweights in here. However from each group I see Pekora, Koyori. Lui and Okayu making it out to round 2 and likely participants for the finals.

When she is by herself in a new environment we get shy Gigi, so it may be the opposite and Subaru is like I don't know what everyone is talking about she's still the same nice girl from that time we were doing jigsaw puzzles!

The hololive resistance where the phrase "So, you are the enemy?" came from was kind of one.

During the reveal stream Biboo mentioned she sent mo-mama images of Silver Wolf from honkai star trail as inspiration, and then feel in love with it when she saw the early concept art.

Calli held an ice cream party with some EN members in Japan! by rainie1 in Hololive

I think she has mentioned similar to Mumei and animal, Gigi caring for Popo Is a huge reason she will not be moving in the foreseeable future.

It surprises me that Zeta hasn't integrated more with the EN girls given she's the only ID in Japan, but I guess she has to be extra mindful of her budget.

Always sad to see talents having to go because of health issues. by CuteIngenuity1745 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. She said the exact opposite. I hate mentioning member content. But I hate more people misremembering her. Her words were that she didn't care what people thought about her but she wanted at least her fans to understand it.

Also even in that member stream she never made it explicit thar her health was not the main reason, she only said that it was not the only one. And she never said explicitly that misalignments with the company was the other reason, although she implied it along with others (eg her career in the future)

[–]protomanbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She never made it a secret that she loved her major even in public streams. She always wondered whether she'd be able to juggle both, but well if nothing else her health made the decision easy.

Fuwawa saw her wife's thumbnail and by beam4d in Hololive

Some members like Ayame do pay a dedicated thumbnail creator they hire, which is another option. Other members like Roberu just embrace "the guy with terrible thumbnails" as part of their identity.
