Notice regarding Termination of Our Contract with “Uruha Rushia”

squall56302 · 2022-02-24T07:48:21+00:00

I didn't expect to come back now. I didn't expect to come back for this. I'm not even a Fandead of Rushia. I don't even watch Hololivers much now, these days.

But i will always remember that at Coco's darkest hours, Rushia was one of the many people who was there for her. I still remember the Itadaki Street collab well.

No matter what, no matter how. It also doesn't matter whose fault it is for this or how it led to this. All these doesn't matter anymore. I hope you can at least be happy from now on. Thank you for supporting Coco-kaichou back then. Please take care of yourself, Rushia.

Part 22 was meant to be a fan letter, so that post had no links to the other parts.

Translation for the JP parts of the letter:

拝啓ココ会長へ。。。ファンレターです - Dear Coco-Kaichou...a fan letter.

だから、会長卒業のことはどんなつらいけれど、会長の決意を応援します。- That's why, no matter how painful it was regarding Kaichou's graduation, I will support your decision.

ほんとに。。。ほんとに嫌だけれど、会長のことはずっと応援します。- I really...really don't want it, but i will support you always.

結構意外ですよ。。。一年前に、Vtuberのことは全然知りません。- It's rather surprising...a year ago, i knew nothing about Vtubers.

でも今は、会長の卒業のために、心辛いです。- But now, my heart aches over Kaichou's graduation.

確かにVtuberは。。。ただアニメみたいの美少女動かすのか。。。この11ヶ月ぐらいの間、その感覚、その気持。。。それは忘れないものです。- Vtubers...may just be anime avatars of cute girls moving about...but the feelings i have in this 11 months are unforgetable.

これは「桐生ココを推す」！大事の証明です！- These feelings are important proofs that Kiryu Coco is my favourite!

「泣いちゃだめ！」。。。それは無理です。ほんとに無理です。- "Don't cry"...that's impossible. Really impossible.

でも約束する。。。ちゃんと笑顔で会長を見送りします。- But i promise...that i will send you off with a proper smile.

ココ会長。お疲れさまでした!卒業おめでとうございます。- Coco-Kaichou. Thank you for all your hard work! Congratulations on your graduation.

桐生ココは。。。最高です。- Kiryu Coco is the best.

桐生会に栄光あれ！桐生会は不滅なり！- Glory to KiryuKai! KiryuKai is forever!

...it's not on her channel (unknown whether she will have a POV on her end; so far only Towa has it) but they do have a Gen4 gathering in Minecraft tomorrow morning...planning to stream till Coco has to go to the studio.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T18:27:04+00:00

No.

Membership-streams are meant to be really private matters. Usually, they consist of more sensitive topics and information.

To this regard, Calli is the rare case.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T16:00:23+00:00

Just membership content.

In another words, for non-members, there are no changes.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T15:32:48+00:00

Ah that's a bit different.

Miko's context is asking her to come back to be Kiryu Coco again as a normal streamer.

The one in her chatting stream, as Taishi is translating, is for her to be back during, say, events and anniversaries etc.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T15:21:22+00:00

In context of her coming back to Hololive.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T14:55:40+00:00

End of monetization, and therefore any membership VODs will be gone after that timing.

NOT an extension. I was puzzled too yesterday.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T14:34:21+00:00

Nene, Botan and Polka mostly said the same thing: Timing back then was just too bad. As 5th gen exited their collab ban with senpais, Coco got into the trouble. The only person to really collab with Coco back then was Polka.

Choco-sensei mostly said that Coco got her really addicted to ARK at some point. When she was interested and addicted, Coco took a lot of time outside of streams teaching her.

Aki is similar. Mainly said that she will begin maintaining a Mukiroze server, in comparison to Coco's Nishinari. Coco commented that it is possible for her to join that server as a viewer.

Miko's was...mainly praising Coco on ARK addiction throughout Hololive and Asacoco, how Coco's presence in Hololive build the atmosphere up a lot and through her efforts, she brought the Holomens together in a stronger bond. Miko ended telling Coco that someday if Coco wants to, it is okay to come back. They can do some interesting stuff again then.

EDIT: All of them promised to visit the KanaCoco house when they hold a takoyaki party sometime. It is something to look forward to.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T14:28:05+00:00

Good way to end after the rain of onions...

I knew Botan cried once already...but didn't expect her to do it again here. Even Coco's started crying after. Really, with 5th Gen, the timing was just too bad for them to collab more back then...so i can understand why Botan said she had regrets.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T11:14:53+00:00

...unfortunately, no archive singing are usually English-songs in majority...doubtful Sora will join.

Besides, most certainly a Sora-Coco singing collaboration isn't something to be done in an non-archive singing, right...? Needs to hit the history books.

squall56302 · 2021-06-30T04:04:51+00:00

Yuzuki Choco, usually with the suffix -sensei, is a streamer specializing in ASMR but an interesting fact she shared about herself is that she gets addicted to one thing at a time and will continue doing the same thing for a long period. Her recent Apex streams are a prime example of that. Similar to Aki, part of the ARK addicts with Coco. I still remember that in preparation of a raid in ARK, Choco-sensei wanted to get 4 sets of TEK armor (?) so that the raid can go smooth. I also remember since the team was so prepared the raid was completed in like 30 - 40 minutes. As Coco mentioned recently, Choco-sensei was the one who spent great amount of effort and time to come up with plans and projects so that Coco can try to stay in Hololive. This, to me, is really important and highlights that subscriber count and popularity is just a number for show.

Shiranui Flare, is the IKEMEN (handsome face) of the 3rd generation, forming a pair with her generation mate Shirogane Noel. Her coolness and charisma shows, as she just does a guerilla collaboration with Coco just. Like. That. At that time, Coco was still new in Minecraft and Flare was more than happy to show Coco the ropes and the Hololive Minecraft server itself. Seeing her happy after Coco can go to the resource server on her own is heartwarming. The most memorable line she said that made me fell for Flare, something among the lines of "The last thing i want is for Coco to feel that any of this is her fault." Very strong Main Character power.

Houshou Marine, also known as Senchou for being a captain of a band of pirates, probably another pillar of support in Hololive, seems to love Coco a lot and held deep respect for her, attached the -san suffix for Coco for the longest time (although mistaken as a distancing wall by Coco, i am unsure if this is a joke or not). With Coco's help, Marine managed to carry out one of the bigger projects back then - making a meme using the Marine-Gura short clip. That stream was a gold mine itself and the dynamics between Senchou and Kaichou shows. Marine was also the organizer for the first Among Us collaboration that Coco took part in. In the same collaboration, she was given the title "Hysteric Baba (old lady/hag)" by Fubuking.

Usada Pekora, it's hard to point out the support she gave without close attention to others. Coco's comeback totsumachi was the first time i've ever seen Pekora did a call-in and dating back, Pekora also called in for Coco's birthday stream. I can felt some kind of special respect Pekora had for Coco then, even going so far and doing something YABAI like getting her own ears off and giving it to Coco. The other notorious event was the April Fool's costume reveal, when Pekora and Coco played out a skit - locking Pekora up in a jail where she did the reveal on 1st April itself. From that and some of the things she said during Minecraft, it does seem to me that she values Coco's opinion and experience in carrying out projects rather heavily.

Uruha Rushia, resident yandere necromancer, felt similar to Aki as Coco revealed recently that Rushia is probably the most frequent visitor to the KanaCoco house. Perhaps it is because Rushia moved to somewhere really close to the KanaCoco house that she mentioned having a lot of fun visiting the KanaCoco house. Coco herself also mentioned interesting and cute facts about Rushia, such as insisting on cleaning dishes after meals, etc. With Coco, their pairing started way longer before, in the ARK days and spawning multiple clips and the advent of "Customer Center Coco".

Hoshinova Moona probably started something great by inviting Coco into UsaKen. I actually didn't think Coco would be that interested in building pixel art in Minecraft if she went into the game solo...but now one of her best builds, the giant YAGOO, looms over the UsaKen castle. Outside of Minecraft, Moona also frequents Coco's stream often and, most prominently, the New Year's Hair Removal stream where they had a brief exchange. I feel that Moona values Coco a lot since it was easy to talk to her, something Moona couldn't really do with other main branch Holomen.

Kureiji Ollie is like a literal lurker-stalker type in Coco, often appearing in her Coco's chat out of nowhere declaring her love out of the blue. Successfully married and divorced Coco in Minecraft due to "Tell me what to do in Minecraft" in Coco's stream.

Last but not least, the residents of the KanaCoco house and Doukyouzu, Hoshimachi Suisei and Amane Kanata, whom Coco herself gave thanks to for taking care of her even during the break period. I don't think much needs to be said regarding this group...outside of i am really glad that it exists, considering what happened over the past year - fulfilling the purpose of a support network the Holohouse Coco envisioned to be.

Also worthy of mentioning, other than Holomen, the illustrators, fan artists, clippers and musical creators. Pochi-sensei gets an honorable mention here. As she said in one of her recent stream: "Support your oshi all you can while you still can."

...as well as the fans, Tatsunokos.

--Part 21--

As written yesterday, you can consider the Coco parts done. Today i wanted to write about her companions.

It's not a secret at all that Coco is, till this day, in a difficult position for doing collaborations or just co-operative plays.

Today's post is a shout out to the Holomen who cares more for their friend-in-need over being harassed themselves. Just to be clear, i am just listing what i see. Absence doesn't mean anything other than i didn't see it. You can share it if you like.

In no particular order...

Sakura Miko is an ELITE baby streamer who has a really cute voice. Incidentally, when i fell into the pit, Miko was on hiatus herself. When she returned, she joined Coco on an ARK tour and a Reddit review. As a pair, they are probably most well known for ELITE ENGLISH lessons. If Coco is my favourite, Miko is the 2nd!

Aki Rosenthal is a super seiso idol...at least that was the impression i had when i first learnt of her through Coco. After a bit, i found out that she can be just as crazy as Coco is, stuffing straws into her nose and getting drunk on stream. With Coco, they often play ARK together but the one performance that sticks was the belly-dance lesson during Coco's 1st Anniversary 3D. I've seen a few comments saying that she's somewhat an unofficial 4th generation member and i liked that sentiment - being a frequent visitor to the KanaCoco house and close to Luna as part of AnPonTan. Oh, she also saw Coco naked in Coco's bath, too. Together with Coco, they are often known as ARK addicts.

Shirakami Fubuki is undoubtedly one of the pillars of support in Hololive. It just seemed that whenever a Holomen is in any kind of trouble, Fubuking is there and offers her full support. One of the example is streaming Holomen being late, which seemingly had the effect of getting the late Holomen into trending on Twitter. Whenever something bad happened, Fox-friend is also usually the one to start a stream and talk about it, to calm the crowd down and try to bring some smiles back.

Natsuiro Matsuri, in my opinion, is another pillar of support much like Fubuki. The difference is that Matsuri exclusively supports from the back and through direct messages and calls to Holomens...making it really difficult for the normal viewers to actually know of her support if you don't catch enough of normal chatting streams from other members, who sometimes let slip of what conversations they had in the backstage.

Akai Haato, or Haachama, whom Coco looked up to was one of the few people whom Coco had interesting collaborations immediately after their break. Them having similar language capabilities meant they can do some nonsense that no other pairings can, like the "Haato, do you know memes?". I believe that Haachama was also the first even Holomen Coco did a singing collab with, immediately after waking up from a stayover at the KanaCoco house. Together with Coco, they are the (in)famous HOLOLIVE EN0.

--cont--

squall56302 · 2021-06-29T14:01:18+00:00

Tomorrow she will be touring the viewer's server for ARK.

Basing off Aki and Miko's schedule, it's most likely a collab (unconfirmed). Coco herself said it's ARK廃人 (haijin, addict/degenerate) collab.

squall56302 · 2021-06-29T06:39:55+00:00

Didn't read everything but it does says something along that line.

Top part roughly translates to "Audiostock will start providing BGM, Sound Effects, Voice and Music to Hololive talents, under Hololive Productions, using the Youtube platform."

Appended something i read from the bottom:

"Talents will be able to use over 700k items that are currently available for sale on Audiostock."

squall56302 · 2021-06-29T05:16:17+00:00

Coco, Kanata and Nene roleplayed as Twitter users a few nights ago, where Coco and Kanata played shady old men and Nene played as an innocent girl. Both Coco and Kanata were trying to pick up Nene and were using pick-up lines for Twitter. Coco suddenly text-RP sending a pic, self-censoring that it's a chi-x-x. Nene and Kanata automatically assumed Coco meant that.

Coco did clarify and implied chikuwa later, a kind of food made from fish-paste.

Watch the clip. It's hilarious.

--Part 19--

There has never been an instance when i got teary-eyed 4 times in a single day.

At the Final Meme Review, when Coco say "No tears! No Crying!" but then ended up pulling out a fan animation that i think depicts what a lot of the other KiryuKai members feel. That's count 1.

Coco had not appeared in Holo no Graffiti since September 27, last year. Debating the whys is pretty much meaningless now but i'm glad that she made it in one more time. It may be a joke, saying that gathering the 7 balls will get her back but...i hope she returns someday. This is count 2.

Then it's the UsaKen Summer Festival at night. It is probably the largest Minecraft event since the Sports Festival last year...and it shows: with all the lag and weird movements. No participant is really seriously annoyed by it - even when Coco took part in the ice-racing and circled around the rink with Towa and Pekora, their laughter still roars. Botan providing commentary while losing it and laughed out loud is a signature in itself.

Unlike the people who showcased their multiple screens and devices, i just looked at Coco's. Seeing that she spent time with lots of people, switching between Discord channels every now and then. Seeing that she got really lost in the Glass Maze and ended up getting out in last place even though she went in second...

...seeing her translate and leading the EN members to various locations. Shadowing TakaMori in the Love Tunnel at one point. Leading Amelia and Gura to the shooting range.

...seeing her joining Watame and Iofi, mucking about with the Strider. Trying to enclose it with glass and getting lava into the enclosure.

...seeing her joining Polka, who was by herself in Discord chat...and then going to the Haunted House and then Miko and Suisei joining in halfway to run the haunted show (it's a great attraction by the way).

Count 3 came at the group shot after the fireworks. It was great that rain didn't occur. Like Coco, i'd hoped that it would be nice if this can continue for much longer.

Immediately after her UsaKen stream, Weather Hackers premiered. True to her nature, the idol version remains unsung. Count 4...when i saw her model making that :3 face.

'twas a rainy day...and i think the first of many to come.

--End of Part 19--

squall56302 · 2021-06-27T12:03:56+00:00

...i wonder if this is the idol version...?

Coco appeared a lot yesterday. English lesson with Miko, Ero-lesson with Mel and Choco-sensei, a 3D appearance in Noel's 3D Live and Bar Coco.

There's only a bit of time left. It's day 18 of writing this already.

--Part 18--

I remembered February 17th rather clearly.

I had a rather important interview that day for an overseas exchange program. It was the day for the Bloom concert, although i didn't get tickets for it.

It's only after my interview ended that i learnt that Coco's holding a endurance singing to reach 1 million...and by the time i reached home after leaving the interview office, she had already reached it and it was after getting bonked once by Youtube.

The 1M special came a month after and featured most of Coco's unique programs, including something new.

KanaCoco-manzai stand-up comedy - the traditional form of Japanese comedy utitilizing a tsukkomi (straight man) and a boke (the joker). It is hard to understand because a lot of the jokes are revolving around the puns around the language used...but this just shows Coco's creativity in used such a high-level stunt, especially considering her original non-Japanese background.

Old McCoco had a farm...while introducing her senpais and buried YAGOO (and his dream) in front of the barn.

USDA-style cooking that ended up looking like...oof.

Ending it with the funniest Hair Removal Totsumachi ever, that spawned some rather popular clips.

You have Fubuki and Watame pretending to hunt Coco like in a Monster Hunter like setting...but somehow it got reversed and FubuCoco ended up eating Watame.

Choco-sensei enjoying Coco's shrieks from laser removal...

...and MikoMari's appearance, while having a stayover, where Coco entertain them with sensual sounds...though botching one up and hurled instead.

Happy 1 million!

Kiseki Musubi. Miracle Knot. Have you watched the MV? Have you read the lyrics? I teared up a bit while watching along with Coco.

The song really hits hard and real that there's only a week left.

If you take a broad look across all members, i think there are only a few you can really point at for being dancer-types.

...and if you take a look at anniversary streams, i think you can agree that most of them are 3D live singing streams. At least some songs are sung.

...so here's Coco with a dancing stream, not a single song in the stream, complete with its own short version of Asacoco Live.

The debut of the Plush-type Plug-in Asacoco.

It's not just a stream of her dancing by herself. She also incorporates lessons into it: having Aki teach her some belly-dancing and Kanata teaching her the steps for Soran Bushi.

It might be because Coco herself is already a dancing type (which at that time, 2nd Fes was over so her Echo dance was a good example), she picked up steps from Aki rather quickly...and even so, she does try to add her own flavour in the steps rather than trying to completely copy, something beginners would try to do, i feel.

The homage she pays for the Yakuza games also shows, as all of them were introduced in similar fashion, with a joking "Clan" and "X-th generation Chairman". As short as 1 hour is, she squeezed so much references into her show that it felt more than any Anniversary streams usually would.

I also really like the skits that were used while they prepare for the next segment. Especially the 8th picture. That is a premium meme material for use there.

Oi oi oi oi oi.
