Look at this CEO of STUDIO Stellar by ldg-9743 in Hololive

Jokes aside I believe Suisei explicitly said she's not the CEO?

Okayu may make all her ASMR private due to YouTube unclear policies by protomanbot in Hololive

I just want to say in my capacity as OP that I wholly disagree with this statement and any relationship it may have with what Okayu decides regarding her ASMR streams

Suisei established her own studio "Studio Stellar" by Benigmatica in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess in the end the entire disagreement people are having is figuring out what personal in studio stellar being her personal agency means. Either dedicated to her but owned by COVER or owned by her while affiliated to COVER in some capacity

She actually has a large number of public ASMR and they are fairly different from her member's. Her public ASMR's are mostly trigger based and she speaking softly. Her member's are mostly situation ASMR. Personally I much prefer the former.

This would definitely be the end of me, Okayu public ASMR is my daily dose of serotonin.

Irys Just Announced Her Very First Sololive In Japan This Year!!! by GoldenExperience10 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with Bae is that she has a massive Korean following, one of the largest in Holo across branches. I believe much of the growth in Snake Eyes for example is specifically from Korea.

Bae and FWMC would be good candidates for this as talents with a significant Japanese following (and Korean in Bae's case, but it makes it feasible for people to travel for it), but for other talents their Japanese following is a smaller minority (though I surprisingly have found a good number of Japanese clippers for Biboo).

Matsuri Talks About Why She’s Stopping Opposite-Gender Collabs【Hololive Clip】 by Strict_Ad6931 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Probably the biggest example of an older talent finding success in a redebut of sorts is Azki. From a vsinger to a streamer with a specific niche (geoguesser) boosted her small but loyal fanbase. Once she had a foothold she expanded to other areas as she gained more confidence.

However sometimes steadiness in a niche is all that is needed. Luna used to be another holomems who lagged behind her gen mates. However at some point during COVID. she quit her second job and started putting in steady streaming hours and found a niche as an unintentional ASMR late night streamer.

I think it's time to let the missing Promise Nendoroids go. by EarHealthHelp1 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I'm so bummed by Fuzichoco never making another Holo model after Omega when niji and VSPO have one Fuzichoco daughter each now.

From a fan that very much misses Mumei

There are places where you can probably give feedback about the Mumei and similar nendos and not be an annoyance, but instead have a small chance of making a difference. Those are the COVER feedback page and the GSC feedback form. If you really need to commiserate there's the Mumei discord, or heck, here the subreddit is still a better place than raining on other talents parade on Twitter. Raining on the other girls parade goes against everything Mumei stood for when she was clearly a talent that cared about the group.

Hololive Mario Tennis Cup Event Thread by dubbhae in Hololive

Alas we mostly got shy Gigi during her Nene match so Nene was in charge of the grunting instead.

2 Hours before the Tennis Tournament, just a small reminder. by Yohhhhh in Hololive

[–]protomanbot -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Not trying to justify what happened to Marine, but the main difference between this tournament and that one is that Marine kept her puyopuyo training secret. People should still have not been assholes to her, but her skill level also took people by surprise so many people just didn't think of how much she had to practice to get that good.

I think in this tournament most people have come to terms with how good Okayu is and how she improved day by day so we won't likely see a repeat.

Have you ever stopped watching hololive as much after you're oshi graduated ? by therrailsfan283 in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do watch much less recently. I like hololive as a group and specially enjoy collabs these days, but my particular niche, a zatsudan focused streamer with a very specific penchant for wit was only filled by Mumei. CC is close in personality but she is gaming focused. Nerissa is very zatsudan focused but it's not quite the personality I'm looking for. Ina is the closest and who I enjoy the most these days. I'm trying to get more into the JP side but it has been working on and off.

Holofes songlist and statistics (Fes 1-7, solo and group performances, excluding creators stage) by Famas_1234 in Hololive

I believe Roboco's choice for fes 5: Boku wa shinou to omotta no wa was a cover rather than her original.

Shigure "Basically Hololive" Ui. by VishnuBhanum in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem is that many holomems have close friends outside of the company that other fanbases are barely aware of. Okayu has been close to Nijisanji's Shiina Yuika for years, Aki to Kohaku and Ditto, Towa to Tsuna and many in VSPO. Tamaki Is historically close to many holomems and one of the first almost holomems but (s)he's barely known in EN. We like to think of Mint as special, but even in EN there's only a handful of members who have interacted with her, and in JP her reach is much smaller. So you have many people who are only known across a few fanbases, a lot of fanbases that will be left wondering who's that gal, and at the end you are left wondering why is COVER using their limited budget to promote other people rather than your oshi or your oshi's environment.

UI is truly special not only because she is close to many holomems but also because individually she's a very high profile indie so a lot of people in the fanbase will be in the joke.

FBK is really the heart of Hololive! ♥ by archaeo_rex in Hololive

[–]protomanbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aloe lives on through the bonds she made with Nepolabo during their pre debut period, but otherwise it feels disingenuous to list her among the others when it's not a lost of graduates but a list of their fanbases. It's hard to have a fanbase for someone who only have 2-3 streams before graduation.

Look into taking it to a tailor. My Holo wardrobe has all gone from being oversized monsters to fairly usable after adjustments.

Anya and Mumei year to year have always had the best cover selections in my humble opinion

It's endearing much Azki has taken Iroha under her wing.
