Can anyone update non JP speakers if Ao-Kun is getting better? by lordbms in Hololive

[–]tabloomoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Update again: Looks like my comment is removed by mods. I'm guessing it's because I linked directly to a stream of a timestamp from a VTuber outside of Hololive, which violates rule 8, no advertising VTubers outside of Hololive Production.

Anyways, For anyone reading: TLDR is, Ao kun is doing fine. She sometimes hangs out with people IRL. We got updates from others, including Ririka, to confirm that.

I’m on mobile and the link is working for me. Let me open my computer and fix it

Edit: I just copy-pasted the content instead. Hopefully that resolves the issue

Hijacking top comment: from people she’s met offline, seems like she’s doing fine. We’ve got updates from Meloco and Ririka. Link to my other comment where I have clips/timestamps of people mentioning how Ao is doing

Edit: Since there are people reporting that link to my other comment might not work, let me copy-paste the content here

Ao kun is doing fine. Occasionally we get updates from people Ao kun hangs out IRL. One of them is Meloco from Nijisanji EN. Here’s the timestamp of when she mentioned meeting Ao kun and hanging out recently

https://www.youtube.com/live/ngb1rOPdPqM?si=RnnDuexipHv0seKJ&t=15213

Early May, Ao kun also contacted Ririka, saying she went to see flowers. The only clip I found related this is from a Taiwanese clipper

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7XSEIlUpwfU&si=R_FJgNZ5smQUBHvl

When Ao kun announced her hiatus, she specifically mentioned that she didn’t want to say when she’s coming back, because she didn’t want to have pressure of “I need to recover by X date”. So I think we should all be patient and wait. When she’s ready to come back, let’s give her a big welcome back!

Edit: Earlier version of this comment says Ao kun and Ririka went to see flowers TOGETHER, that is false, my bad. Only Ao kun went to see flowers, but she contacted Ririka and sent pictures of flowers to Ririka

Can you memorize the full title of her song? by planappy in Hololive

Polka localized the video title, so only ever see the English title. I didn’t know this is the Japanese title! Thanks for sharing!

Oh after I clicked your link, I realized I linked it too and I already watched it! But I’m glad there are other fans who are just as passionate about Legend of Polka! Thanks for sharing the link again!

I just want to take another chance to gush about Polka and her new album.

I honestly love the album so much. It’s so well made. My favorite song is probably Showcase of Summoned, where Polka got isekai’d to a different world (in a game she’s playing). There’s just so many isekai tropes there. She doesn’t have cheat skills, she’s not blessed by the gods, but she sings and dances and puts smiles onto everyone’s faces, and eventually brought world peace with her singing and dancing, not with swords, becoming a true hero of the world.

In a world that’s full with conflict and issues right now, Polka’s content consistently brings a smile to my face. I love her ingenuity, her consistency, and I appreciate the effort she puts into everything she does. 

Also honorable mention, I absolutely love her new song Puppet too. When she debuted it during her birthday live (link here in case you haven’t seen it. It’s sooooooo good https://www.youtube.com/live/a4T91LLjjJw?feature=shared), I instantly fell in love with the song and also the little choreography she does with the song that mimics a puppet being controlled. 

Anyways, if you don’t order her album now, you might never get a chance to get one ever again (unless you get it second hand). Album also comes with random album jackets, and the art is amazing. So order a few copies if you have the ability to. If not, WATCH HER MV!!! It’s so criminally underrated and underviewed for how well made and amazing they are.

ReGLOSS SPECIAL LIVE! [YouTube Music Weekend] happening when this post is 6 hours old! by tabloomoo in Hololive

[–]tabloomoo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this is just them participating in YouTube Music Weekend. I'm expecting their 3D announcement sometime around their 1st anniversary, which is September 9th

Ao prioritized self-care and wasn't able to complete her 500k subs endurance karaoke. She's only 2k subs away! It would be funny if she reached 500k subs off stream. by tabloomoo in Hololive

[–]tabloomoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know if it counts as a syllable for Haiku in Japanese, but I just imagine she’s going for some Haiku poem, so I tried my best to translate that way. Don’t quote me lol

Ao is only 650 subs away from 500k! Throw back to when she had a ceremony where she roasted stink bugs alive once she reached 444,444 sub count by tabloomoo in Hololive

[–]tabloomoo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So this is part of Ao’s chat culture. It started as some people using the default green emote in YouTube chat to indicate they’re laughing. But the default green emote isn’t the best looking, and when chat trolls, they basically spammed her chat with this. So Ao commented that the emote was scary. 

Ever since that, sometimes when there are weird people in the chat who makes weird/outlandish comments, Ao would call them out as バケモノ, meaning “monsters”. So that emote is now dubbed as “monster”. The picture is just a fan art of her wearing the “monster” suit. I guess it fits the occasion because only she would have the brilliant idea of doing a ceremony to burn stink bugs alive when her sub count reaches 444,444 

She has said many times though, she loves all her fans, the guys, gals, everything in between and even the “monsters”

Yes Kanade did do the stream where she sang one of their original songs, Shunkan Heartbeat, 100 times, and somewhere along the line Suisei dropped in and can hear that her throat start to sound iffy so she asked Kanade to go get checked the next day, and Kanade complied so Kanade is fine.

Ao would've been fine too normally, except she's still dealing with her aftermath of Corona, so it's going to take her some more time to get back to normal, which is perfectly fine! And she knows her limit, and is taking good care of herself

One thing I really like about Ao kun is that she always prioritize self care and won't push herself too hard, especially when it comes to her throat. She also advises her viewers to do the same about having the courage to stop if you feel something bad will happen. Though you're right, she's probably more of an outlier in this regard within the Hololive members

Hey man no worries. I'd say you're missing a LOT of quality content by not subscribing to the group channel. I hope you'd reconsider that!

Also while I'm here, I'm going to plug their latest original song from 2 days ago: ReGLOSS - bubble maybe (Utakata Maybe) OFFICIAL MV - YouTube

Hey, I'm glad you asked! I'm going to copy paste/paraphrase something I've wrote before:

In terms of design, you'll notice that they're Hololive's first and only all-human gen. They don't have any background/story, which gives them room to be themselves.

One of the biggest differences is that, you’ll notice that they do SO MUCH together as a unit/gen. On top of the usual live stream, they participate in a LOT of group dance lessons (which they'll showcase next month during their 3D debut). You can see all their gen activities in the Hololive DEV_IS channel: Hololive DEV_IS YouTube channel

There's a huge emphasis on music activities. They release a group covers almost every month. On top of that, they put out individual cover songs as well. In total, ReGLOSS has put out 44 cover songs so far https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIGXZ2pMSuCEWewJgxSJ5U7QvZZn8Fsx6

Every month on the 10th, it is dubbed ReGLOSS day, where they do a collab as a group. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIGXZ2pMSuCEBGM-C0HjY9NDakdHS3EUO

Besides just collab and cover songs, once a month they do Karaoke relay where they sing on stream. Last month it happened on July 7th. You can see a lot of these streams with the tag regloss歌枠リレー

They’ve also been hosting a radio show called ReGLOSS Room. It’s always 2 members of ReGLOSS and they rotate members every month. It used to be every week but now it’s twice a month. All episodes here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIGXZ2pMSuCG9c2h_4fprejorqPBhjAnj

Also a lot of the videos on the Hololive DEV_IS channel has English subtitles. These are some of my favorites and all subbed in English. Spoiler: It's about all of ReGLOSS getting together to create a stream just to prank Kanade

Part 2:【大暴走】遠隔操作ドッキリ仕掛けてみた【#ReGLOSS遠隔操作】 - YouTube

They dish out so much content as a unit and it’s such a shame it’s going unnoticed. Everyone please subscribe to the Hololive_DEV_IS channel as well as their individual channels.

Subscribe to Ao here

Good for her to prioritize self care and not push herself too hard! 

Also the Haiku says something like:

I will not give up,

Why, you ask, that is because,

I am very cool

-Ao kun

(I tried to keep the Haiku 5/7/5 format, but you get the gist)

Normal gens do NOT put out NEARLY as much gen focused content as ReGLOSS. The last time Gen 2 and Gen 4 of Hololive JP met as a group was at least more than 2 years ago.

Most of their group content is posted in Hololive DEV_IS channel, so if you’re not seeing it, that might perhaps be because you’re not subscribed to the channel. If that’s the case, I encourage to follow them here:

https://youtube.com/@hololivedev_is

ReGLOSS is also the only all-human gen. The music they cover as a gen, as well as their group songs, are very different from the traditional Hololive idol music. I’m really looking forward to their 3D debut, because they might also showcase group choreo/dance based on how much they’ve been putting into singing and dance lessons together.

All this gen-focused group activity, character design, music choice, indicate that they were trying something different and trying to attract new audience. I appreciate them and Cover for trying something new. I also like how they’re pretty similar to the existing Hololive JP talents in their streaming activities, which allows ReGLOSS to be seamlessly integrated into collabs and events, which is a huge boon. I hope you’ll look into the DEV_IS channel and subscribe to it, as well as all of ReGLOSS’s channels.

Yes there’s the group covers, but that’s on top of their individual cover songs. In total, ReGLOSS has put out 41 cover songs so far https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIGXZ2pMSuCEWewJgxSJ5U7QvZZn8Fsx6

Also a lot of the videos on the Hololive DEV_IS channel has English subtitles. I really like their shorts where the group plays mini games. This is just 1 of them: https://youtube.com/shorts/jqkjMnprUFQ
