Hmmm, not sure what i think about this until i hear more details but it sounds like Kiara and Calli ( maybe the others too? ) will be actually having their first 3D performance behind the Holo Fes paywall? Essentially their 3D Debut but not?

( I suspect that Calli and Kiara have full body tracking kit so they can control their 3D models without being in Japan or Calli goes into the Holo Studio and Kiara has full tracking at home? But that's pure guesswork, no point wondering until they tell us more details but it kinda does take the edge off them all having a 3D debut together but eh, i'll get over it and be hyped when they all meet together in the future... hopefully. )

Kiara Community Post on Youtube RE: 3D Performance at HoloFes 3

【Announcement】
日本語あり Kikkeriki!
Just wanted to make sure KFP is up to date with the state of things.
Its my day off so I cant really say it directly to you all, but according to management we are now allowed to talk bout it and Calli mentioned it on stream already - but some of you may have not heard about it yet!
👂 ☛ Regarding the 【hololive 3rd fes. Link Your Wish】☚
The company made arrangements for us to be able to perform in 3D! HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇
So, now even more reason to watch it!👀
This is not a 3D debut, we still will do that in the future!

There are still things that I don't know myself yet about other 3D stuff so, I know you all must have many questions, but I can NOT answer them! Just take this piece of information and be HYPE!

Yay, the Selen x Pomu Pokemon eating collab is back on the menu! I'm looking forward to this stream cuz it is guaranteed to be a non-stop laughing fest.

I always thought it was silly that they couldn't do 3D-rigging over the net or work something out. Maybe I just don't "get" how the rigging works, but there are independent V-Streamers with full 3D rigs which easily equal or surpass the 3D I have seen Cover Corp. produce. So if people can do it without the backing of a corp. and without having to be somewhere in person,I always wondered what the hold up was for the streamers backed by literal Corporation.

But then again I always have been a little sus about how Cover operates...

Bear in mind that Hololive usually broadcast the first 20-30m of these big events free on YouTube…. no guarantees but tradition has it that the new acts start first so I’d like to think that section will include the EN / ID girls.

Interesting stat here. Pekora biggest Vtuber, and not by a little. Consider me surprised. I've never been recommended a Pekora clip or seen her except a few times when interacting with Botan.

I always thought Gura would be #1 considering that massive amount of subscribers she has.

Rosemi streaming during her lunch break at work again lol.

Pekora almost always has a huge amount of live viewers, often above 20k in regular streams, plus she streams almost every day, and there have been a few times where she streamed multiple times in the same day too.

AZKis store will shut down permanently on February 28 as part of the consequence of moving to Hololive fully. So it seems like this is the last chance for physical CDs or the iconic Fu&k Frog shirt.


Actual tweet from AZKi

Oh, Thanks for the reminder! I'll get on that tomorrow! I knew it was coming as she mentioned it before but i forgot.

... and yep, Pekora has consistently been towards the top of the superchat charts. It's odd that you haven't been shown any links in recommended. Youtube took no time at all to start filling my recommendations with vtuber clips and streams back in the day. lol. All it took was some Hatsune Miku, Kizuna AI then Nyanners and AZKi and my recommendations have been awesome ever since.

Pochi-sensei released a cover!



Some shorts... can you imagine a Rosemi & Mysta collab?



AZKi's animated MV of "Nekonaraba Ikeru" is adorable!


I've worked out why i haven't bought any AZKi merch yet... they use TENSO and i don't have Passport or Driver's License so i can't sign up yet and it's really annoying and making me sad. Hopefully we can get AZKi merch on Booth or Geekjack when she moves to Cover properly but i'd LOVE to get my hands on a bunch of AZKi shirts before the end of the month but it's just not going to happen.
Sadness.

Pika had a pretty funny ARK stream today, she wanted to prank Kson's character while she's offline only for Kson to sneak into the game, stream sniped her and trolled her over and over and accidentally blew up part of her house. What we say about Karma Pikamee?







Also ARK collab this week on Friday JST with Kson and friends:




They'll be split into 3 teams:

I really don't know how Pika thought it would turn out any differently. Nice try, Pika but yeah.


I was going to post the collab info because Yura from PRISM Project is involved again which is good to see.


Kronii got some PC problems.... 22,138 of 'em to be exact.

Calli did a face stream on her old account today, was really nice, but also very weird to hear her voice in a nonv-tube
Yeah, she's done a face reveal a long time ago too. I ended up just having the stream open and listening like a podcast as i was working and as i usually play games while Calli rambles on it was much like a normal stream to me, heh. I wasn't sure whether to post some links or leave it up to people to find themselves. Bought two tshirts too because, eh, why not?

Sure to be an unpopular opinion but, I found the DDKaren stream actually quite cringe. I tuned in a bit late but when I did, here is Calli whose neck deep in her own drama shit lately and poor decisions... Going on about "real" gamer girls, making fun of other streamers, and just being kinda petty and pathetic. "haha, I'm so different and quirky" 🥴 This lady has sunk so very low and it's a bit sad to see. I've never seen someone insist so hard they're above it all, and yet simultaneously continue to demonstrate just how much antis are living in her head rent free and how she's not actually above anything.

I also get the distinct impression she's actually started to hate the Hololive fanbase. Which is fair, I've said plenty lately about what I think about Hololive and the idol crap and a certain section of that fanbase. But she goes "oh don't worry, I love my fans" to keep her paychads happy. I'm guessing she'll hatefuck the HL-money train until she messes up socials again and Cover finally has enough or she feels like she has enough yesmen and merchsales on the DD brand to self-sustain there. (Or maybe she needs Cover to keep sponsoring her Visa.)

So that's a big sigh from me. She was my entry to ENtubers, and I definitely was a big supporter at the start, buying all the EP's and what not even at the height of import shipping prices in Covid season. 😓 But every time I turn around she's digging down, not up. And I don't recognize this current Calli... She's really fallen off my radar and interest despite my best efforts to keep trying. But as she says so herself, "don't like it go elsewhere." So i have.
==========

Moving on than.

Saruei and Shylily have a collab tomorrow. And man, Saru is so downbad for Lily it's insane. Though tbf, Lily also flirts a lot with Saru.




==========

Also today was this:

It was a lot of fun. At one point they were all holding their tongues and trying to talk lol.
Everyone got along great and folks made new friends. (Zen said she really likes Reimu especially!!)

I watched Froot's perspective. It was very "pog."


Turns out Selen is super competitive even in party games lol. :fingergunsblob:
Also Vox did some voice acting, even imitating the Twitch TTS bot (perfectly somehow) and it was downright hilarious. Zen and him had quite the exchange. (Remember Zen uses TTS to communicate.)

And speaking of Froot:

But here she is incorrectly listed as Korean, but actually she is British. Like... beans on toast British too LOL. Glad to see another Vutuber crack one of these lists.
Ina may not be able to stream for the next few days because of an awful ISP:


Pretty much her ISP cut down her upload speed because she was using too much upload bandwidth and told her she must upgrade her plan. :|
This sucks. I feel her pain, my ISP does the same bullshit. >_< They don't care how much i download but upload is super throttled and limited. The moment I try to upload much they insist I upgrade to a "business" plan lol.

I could never be a streamer with my current ISP. 😓 Definitely sucks for Ina, since this is something she loves to do so much....

I really hope these issues can be fixed before HoloFes. I hate to say it but I think the chances of everyone being able to appear without any issues (both tech and health) is asking a lot. I hope it goes well, I'm honestly surprised shes not on a business connection. Its the same with how many Hololive members initially stream with an underspecced pc. You'd think they'd fund those, given how important they are.

I caught some of Reimu's perspective of this. Selen being a tryhard even in a party game and not-so-subtly trying to make others target anyone but here was typical (and hilarious). She did manage to win tough.

Gura and Calli's new original song frame is finally up. They hinted it would have a big producer and it turns out its DECO27. Getting extreme Kill La Kill vibes from the art.

Talking about original songs, I feel like Finana's Tsunami is a massive success. It's up to 323k views after barely 4 days, which makes it her most watched video ever by a huge margin. While there's nothing to really compare it to in terms of NijiEN individual original songs (I think?) I really wouldn't have expected that.

Pomu's "Hacking to the Gate" (which I personally like even more) is a cover and thus not directly comparable -- but while it's also doing well it's more within expectations IMHO.

I don't think there's an equivalent "Most Viewed" countdown for Niji songs and covers like there is for Holo. Not surprising with over 200 members though and NijiEN haven't released enough songs yet for people to bother tracking them outside of nerds on discord i assume.

"Hololive Songs" went on hiatus and "Hololive Songs Club" began and picked up where they left off.

I've been listening to my vods of the New Year's Karaoke streams and somehow Youtube has started recommending these mixes and mashups. Kronii and Mumei gel together so well. I've also found some Kronii Karaoke Supercuts so i'll grab them and the "Clean Audio" edits from HoloKaraoke Ch too. lol.



There's some brilliant clippers and mashup editors out there.
Hopefully soon when they have enough material out there and song overlaps i'll find some Niji-EN mashups too.
... and VShojo? I mean one of the co-founders made this so...

HoloID have a big collab to build a ship in minecraft. Should be a comfy stream.
Iofi POV shown but others are in description.


Amiya is having a silly music based stream later tonight.


Pina will be having a Minecraft stream that may last 2 hours or two days and she may or may not go full PON and waste the components on the wrong items or throw it all in lava. We never can tell with Pina. Huge success or massive Pon is always a step away.


Gura & Calli collab released...

And later Saruei is playing the new Dying Light. No shortage of choices this afternoon...


Leaflit is a Slime girl Vtuber from California. She used to work at NIS America. Her mom is also a Vtuber, "Asari" and they share the channel together. Sometimes they play together and it's so so wholesome Mom and Daughter time lol. The other night I watched them play Battleship for like 4 hours straight lol.

You know... For a while now I've been thinking that the Prism girls have such nice designs. How do they not have more subscribers...?

They are gaining traction slowly but surely. Not only are they nice designs but i've said it before they are all talented and have different vibes so there's someone or a couple of them for everyone to enjoy. Shiki is the runaway success here with 111k subs but she regularly puts out clips and videos talking about the other girls, bless her. I expect Luto to get a big bump when she returns after her move and uni graducation in a short while.

Yura from PRISM is playing ARK and Minecraft with KSON, Pikamee and the others so i hope more people start to get eyes on PRISM and those eyes then wander to the other groups they have a close relationship with. They collab a lot with Tsunderia and Phase Connect in fact i think they have an upcoming triple group Minecraft collab and we think they may have a joint server together.

Today Saruei bought DL2. Today, Saruei refunded DL2.

She hated it lol. Slow, boring, and definitely not what she expected.

Now we're playing Ghostrunner. Where the parkour is blazing fast and well... actually fun lol. And she doesn't have to sit through hours of tutorial. :fingergunsblob:
If I'm honest, I think I'll skip DL2 also. Watching her play it was... Idk, maybe it just needs patches or something.

Tsunderia, Phase Connect & PRISM Minecraft server collab was absolute chaos! I loved it. lol. 35+ deaths in 2 hours apparently.
Usual suspects of Pippa, Tenma and Tomo were stupid fun together.

There's 4 links so i rolled 'em up in a spoiler so they don't make page huge.

Subbing for this 100%. I never was sub to Pomu, kinda just visited now and again or for collabs (IE: The recent one with Selen for eating Pokemon lol) but SotN is suchhhhh a cool game. I wanna see this for sure.

Also I really liked her "Hacking to the Gate" cover.

This has me nervous. Should be happy for the Youtube girls, but I guess a bit selfishly I worry that chat will become swollen and unreadable just like regular streams. 😓

AZKi & IRyS sync-up of awesome.


If you're playing Vampire Saviours then Nina's ( Nina Kosaka - Niji EN ) streams are a great source of background chill while working and tips for the game.

Botan said she would be gone for a week;

But she's still streaming every day. Yesterday was RAFT with her genmates. Today is Call of Duty mobile with Lui.
So i am kinda confused.
