Yeah the Garry's Mod collab was kind of rough with 14 people, understandable though I've seen even small collabs being awkward if there isn't someone to lead it. It was fun after they got the hang of things and it ended up having its moments. Splitting chat into 2 teams probably helped a ton.

They have to private the streams probably to avoid DMCA strike with some licensed stuff in the maps, so that part was also an oversight, hope they learn from this and they could always try again with the same group, otherwise it was pretty fun, and glad I woke up early to watch it.

Everyone was pretty nervous at the beginning, I know they usually say they're nervous with some collabs but this is probably a different scale.

Anteater Yeah, i said in my post and edits that i suspected it would be scuffed and it was but also when they sorted the technical issues out, arranged their chat and voice chat and people got the hang of the game it was great fun. Basically the last hour and a half was worth it, the rest was them getting frustrated but they were having banter and jokes so it wasn't a total waste. I expected some privating for editing and people were saying DMCA was going to get them frequently through the stream, lol.

Pikamee had only had 5 hours sleep so by the end she was on her last dregs of energy and we were wondering if it was going to be a sleep stream as she was yawning and nodding off but the super loud explosions and meme recordings kept waking her up. Also, she must have had fun as i don't think i've heard that many kettles being boiled in a long time.

Again, the last hour and a bit of the stream when it all clicked was great fun and i do hope they try again at some point.

Yeah I also noticed everyone was being really nice to each other, a group of 14 isn't easy to manage, Pikamee said everyone was being really nice to her and kept asking if everything is alright. You can tell Pomu was looking out for her here and there and she even popped up to say hi on her stream.

I hope they try again with the group because I'd like to see some of them interact.

I've been trying to catch up with the archives I missed on the weekend, and...



Polka is lowkey the richest clown in the server? :flare_lmao:

Pranking someone with emerald blocks is the true ShiraKen way, for better or worse. :flare_woozy:

Polka is absolutely the richest player in the HoloJP server AFAICS. She has an obscene amount of diamond and emerald blocks.

Also, sorry for the Marine spam, but this older clip recently got subbed and it cracks me up.

Take a look at the clips of the Casino Botan made using stolen Polka Gold Blocks. I'm not sure about "rolling in diamonds rich" but she's in the top 5% for sure. lol.

Here you go:

Hilarious that IRyS landed on the JP server by mistake, meaning that her first ever Senpai-collab was actually Polka. I don't think anyone could have predicted that.

I was thinking "That's JP isn't it?", "When, did i miss the EN Girls making the Haachama floaty?" then i saw Fubuki's Tree and then Miko's Shrine Gate and i was with chat saying it's the JP Server. I actually laughed when i saw Polka say "Oh" on MC Chat and then chat with IRyS and run over to help her. I laughed again when it was Calli who ended up wandering around with IRyS, the irony of the 2 HoloEN Minecraft Noobs wandering around together, good fun stream.

Cool! Unfortunately i had an email to say that part of my first order, the Kanata Badges, are at the warehouse but they can't ship them to me so they'll be holding them. I don't expect my Holostars Socks, Miko Badge and HoloEN Keychain to be posted when they are released either. Sad Panda.

Looks like my Ina Tako Hoody and Coco Jacket Hoody will definitely be stored for a while too.


I'm gonna watch this on repeat to cheer me up.


Good luck while you're away, Pomu! Have a speedy recovery!

Marine's outfit reveal was pretty amazing, and it reached 130k+ viewers.

I'm obviously limited in my understanding of Japanese, but it cracked me up when she described the new "Hololive Line" and how you can be basically as yabai as you want in your outfit as long as it's below the waistline. And then promptly demonstrated how to take advantage of that :p

Oh dear, I hope Huke Papa and Kiara haven't seen Marine's Outfit Reveal Stream or those two degenerates will be pushing that particular boundary until it breaks. :D

Also Pikamee took a day off to eat yakiniku with her mom, but didn't get to eat yakiniku because it was closed.

Kiara has an interview with the Tales of Arise Producer Tomizawa Yusuke

It has Live Captions so i'm wondering if it's pre-recorded? I missed the start so maybe she explains it there.

The audio in Marine's 3D stream was scuffed (compression artifact?) so it was stopped 10 minutes on.

Loved the PikaKaiju in the background of the Ame Bus Kanauru vid.
I swear i could listen to most of these VTubers ramble on about paint drying and still be entertained. I listened to Gura's Taco Bell stream last night while playing Witchhaven.

...An hour. Of Smol Shark. Talking about her love of Cheese Fries. I think she was supposed to talk about other Taco Bell things too but she loves them fries too much.

Then i watched Toxic but lovely Araka Luto bullying kids in Pokemon Online and then watched some comfy Pina Penguin Minecraft Collab to detox after Luto and topped it off with Ina's SOMA stream.

What is my life?

Anyway...


Calli's cover of Envy Baby just premiered... love it.


HOLOTALK WITH AZKi NOW! (15:00 BST)

Next HoloEN theme reveal?
Four Members? Space and Geometry/Dimensions/Forces type of things?


Lots of new people being introduced to AZKi, her music and the work she does in the VTuber Community! It's great to see!
Holotalk has a new segment too. Kiara has made a stage so that guests can do a solo performance of some sort if they want.
AZKi debuted the stage with a live performance of "Take Me To Heaven" one of her most underrated songs, even though it was #6 in the Fan Top Ten (shhhh). It was fantastic.


Thanks, Tenchou!

HoloEN Prelude video - JP Vers too. Both narrated by IRyS.


Someday people will learn to control their hype... what am i saying? lol. Never happen!
As usual the pre-release chat was fun but people were expecting a huge announcement and we got more lore... and questions... and some nice music and gorgeous animations. So i'm happy enough.

Kiara commented "Cool Story, bro" in the chat, lol!


IRyS has just premiered her cover of Ghost.
She sure knows how to pick the Hololive Greats.

I suppose it's because Cube thing is HoloEN and Error is HoloJP so there's no clash or overlap?
They might be linked, i doubt it but we'll find out at some point.

My guess is the cube is a first part of lore, building into the announcement of the next EN gen. I know Irys has lore for her backstory and maybe this extends to all of EN or at least the next EN gen.

I do think the JP horror project seems separate, but I wonder in what formats it will be available (e.g. video, music, maybe even a game :blobeyes:)

I think Error will be cross media. So it will be Videos, Music and probably a small game or two or an AR app like HoloLy.
Cover were recruiting for people with all sorts or media skills including gaming experience earlier this year so it wouldn't surprise me if they put out some small interactive projects alongside things like Error and HoloAlternative.

Pika's watchalong for her debut was pretty funny, at one point she remembers reading out a marshmallow copypasta and really regrets it.

One of (if not the) best covers Flare has ever done has reached 1M views. August is her debut anniversary and if I heard correctly, there will be a new track or two for this month.

Ebosi karaoke is always fun, I like that she doesn't only sing the "safe" songs she's good at, so it's usually fun to watch/listen to
