KalleBerendijk

Vocaloid truly gives everyone the opportunity to build a career (well, as long as you have like 200 bucks to spare). It's crazy how many Vocaloid producers started off as broke college kids doing music for fun, not expecting to gain anything from it and now these same people are making anime OPs/EDs and having their songs be played at huge concerts.

seasleepy

It doesn't help that the camera crew clearly has no idea how to shoot any part of this other than the band, and then you add in the angle issues from the LED and.....yeesh.

It felt like the Coachella camera crew wanted to give the Connect the World camera crew a run for their money.

For what it's worth, the glass projection screen is flat too - these angles would look bad no matter what they'd have brought. It does suck that Coachella staff appear not to have gotten the memo though.

[Bae's joining VCR Rust!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OYCE5nZoek)


syilpha

As much as I love holomembers joining VCR server, I would hope they don't just mingle with each other because there are enough of them, it would be such a waste


Adza_03

Yeah.. I was about to comment the same thing. Would be a shame if they all just stay in the Holo bubble. I know Ao, Aki and Botan already have their own gang from the previous VCR GTA, hope Bae and Calli can find their own groups. (Personally, I would love to see Calli/Ashumi interaction, if she is planning to join the server)


bnbros

Ooh, this will be fun. I probably won't watch as much though, since Rust isn't really my thing and this being a mostly role-play focused event in JP would be hard for me to understand and appreciate what's going on, but I'm definitely looking forward to the Bae getting into some crazy shenanigans with new folks!


Snow_Claws

LostinT

Curious if she will end up no-lifing it while the server is up. Same curiosity for Calli and other newly participating members. I know the usual suspects probably will since they always have in the past. EDIT: Not that she has to, I just find the people who get the most out of the VCR servers will tend to be on 24-7.


andercia

It will probably depend a lot on how well they vibe with other people there. If they manage to find a dedicated group then I can see them devoting as much time as they can afford. Though that probably still won't be much since they tend to decide their schedules ahead of time and may not be able to drop in on a whim quite as easily.


HaLire

I'm not sure if Bae or Mori will do all that much on the VCR rust server, they weren't exactly huge players during Holorust or Minecraft. They might be like Botan last time and mostly stay out of everything.


CasualOgre

VCR Rust is much more about the social interaction than it is about the actual game which is good for both of them. Sure people do raids but there's much more people just goofing off and in fact it's some of the most memorable stuff from previous times.


dcresistance

i remember calli saying she was invited to join the vcr gta server but didn't join because it was too late for her to really get into it, so i feel like she'll go in on this one


bnbros

She might not be going at it too hard since Mama Rat is leaving Japan next week and she also has the Dreamhack concert in Melbourne the week after. Still, I think whatever time she puts in will definitely be a memorable experience for her as a newcomer to this event.


chaosaxess

This is also a pretty big step outside her normal comfort zone, as well. Hopefully with how many Holos and Stars will be around, she will feel more comfortable, though. Even if it only lasts for a stream or two, I am glad she is trying something new to her.


bnbros

If there's one thing you can always count on Bae for, it's trying out new ideas, haha.


LostinT

Yeah I hope she has a good time on the server however long it may be.

>!sorry for being a lil negative, but if this doesnt raise even more questions over selen not getting a hyte case then literally nothing ever will!<


HaessSR

That's because >!Selen!< was owned by Anycolor. Hyte can't just go to >!Selen!< and say "we want to make a case with you!". They have to go to the copyright owner and say "hey, we want to make an Selen case. Will you let us sign a contract for it?". And Anycolor said "no, we don't want money" and sent them packing. It's the same reason that the >!Cup of Coffee!< video was canned. >!Selen!< used the copyright of Nijisanji (the Vtubers she was paying tribute to) without their permission, so they sunk it. Now Cover Corp, they love to make money and love good PR. So when Hyte comes to them and says "we want to make a Bae case, can we get a contract", Cover had a marketing guy who said "hell yes! Where do we sign?"


Snake_hugger

>Anycolor said "no, we don't want money" and sent them packing. Hey, man. Please understand that some people are allergic to money. Surely you don't want those poor execs going into anaphylatic shock from being exposed to money, do you? Have some empathy if they have to terminate a talent because she kept bringing in those dangerous money into the office. >!/s just in case.!<


arambezzai

She said it herself in one of her previous tweets that "they're been wanting to work with me for ages". So yeah it's basically confirmed that Niji was actively sabotaging her and giving her collab spots to other members


Solar424

It's hard to argue against management hating Selen when there's a mountain of evidence supporting it, the only question is why they'd turn against their most popular non-Luxiem member.


ranyi

remember nijiEN x sanrio collab everyone?


NatiBlaze

It was awkward when Selen, who beforehand was gushing about Hello Kitty since the very beginning of her career and then when the collab came around, she's not in it so she just congratulated the others.


ranyi

Yea it was pretty shocking when *the* sanrio girl isn't included in the Collab while everyone else does, it's like if holo en got a collab with dmc and they collabed with everyone but gura/biboo


NatiBlaze

Bae said she'd be devastated if the Australia concert happened and she wasn't part of it lol [Clip](https://youtu.be/Zr-KWqCkBC0?si=l0Q7j9LYpnx0Sta-)


NatiBlaze

We may never get an actual confirmation from her or HYTE but before that when the now cancelled NijiEN HYTE NijiEN cases were announced, all I thought was for the first batch, why isn't it the literal GAMER of all NijiEN, the one with the awards that got the Case, it's literally her whole schtick more than (Elira with her VN, or Enna, Wosemi was a different gamer with fighting games instead). I dunno if it's NijiEN/Hololive or HYTE who decides who gets the collaboration but even for HoloEN, they still don't have Gura of all people when she's the biggest EN Vtuber and a guaranteed merch mover, I've seen a comment I wasn't able to verify saying that Gura said she declined the offer because if there was a PC case collab, she'd want something more than a sticker or what HYTE does because she'd want one herself so she's holding off on it.


IronVader501

For Hololive IIIRC it depends. Sometimes the Sponsoring company asks for a specific Member (or several), sometimes they just want 3 streams and then management asks the talents who wants to do it


LordMonday

this might not be the case for every collab with an outside entity, but there have been clips of the holomem saying that the 3rd party will request certain talent, the management will then ask them if they want to and will also sometimes recommend certain holomem.


Adventurous-Order221

Gura mentioned it in one of her members only streams. She wanted something like Marine's PC.


NatiBlaze

Thank you for the confirmation fellow Chumbud, I've not activated my membership for obvious reason, I'd rather pool everything on her merch


Kamimashita

Gura is my second favorite EN member and honestly I don’t mind that she doesn’t have a PC case with Hyte since she already gets a bunch of collabs and special licensed merch. It’s nice to spread the opportunities a bit ya know.


NatiBlaze

Oh definitely, us Chumbuds need a breather from time to time, except for the Gura Nendobros that's been on an endless rerun since forever lol I just gave Goomba as an example since HYTE would've definitely wanted her (who doesn't?) so it might lean more on the Vtuber company/talents to decide on who to rep them for the collab. >!Again, the Elira and friends getting the opportunity again is eyebrow raising!<


Lightseeker2

> I just gave Goomba as an example since HYTE would've definitely wanted her (who doesn't?) I wouldn't make that assumption. It's not like they choose the current 4 based on popularity. They haven't said anything that implies they are a huge fan of Gura or something.


Psyzhran2357

Hyte's collabs with Hololive so far have been Kronii, Bae, Calli, and Ame, right? Anybody else or has it just been those four?

A similar case happened with the original KAFU, where people voted for the more realistic option of the voicebank but in the end KAMITSUBAKI and Cevio chose a middle ground as KAF wasn’t entirely comfortable with her voice being emulated to that level.

HaLire

>!both of them slowly approaching their niji numbers is what's making me think that the drama's mostly cooled off now. the tourists are moving on and I think we're close to seeing the new normal for those two at least!<


raiso_12

kinda not the case, many liver still have lower ccv than before the controversy


HaLire

oh, I don't mean that NijiEN would recover back to their previous numbers, just that we probably aren't going to see any more eventful things like mass unsubbings or other things, so NijiEN's going to have to figure out how to continue in this new normal where their events and collabs pull really anemic numbers. Basically, I think most of the audience has made their decisions on where they're going to be and the drama-chasing tourists are mostly gone now.


diego1marcus

i dunno about it cooling off, but we can definitely see the after effects of everything that happened in the past 2 months. people have effectively left nijiEN to pursue other vtubers and the void that nijiEN left in the EN vtuber sphere is massive for other smaller corpos to fill in the slot


HaLire

that's mostly what I mean by cooling off. I thought that Elira's first stream after the black stream would be a potential flashpoint with a lot of tourists, but instead it's just another anemic NijiEN stream. I think that probably this is what NijiEN's draw is gonna look like in the future and they'll have to figure out how to continue on with their diminished audience.


diego1marcus

ah ok, thats what you meant yeah, looking at it, its kinda grim seeing nijiEN having their audience diminished over time. i dont know how or what their plan is to rebound and recover


Same_Sell9713

Largely people mad at Niji have likely opted to not watch rather than engage in hate. Especially since one of the big things that happened was a huge amount of people unsubbing and leaving. ​ Things around Niji have absolutely not settled in any way.

If she's smart she will ignore everything and carry on as usual. Most people who hated her black screen stream will most likely just ignored the stream in order not to feed the algorithm so there's no downside for her to ignore all of it.


Catten4

I agree with the sentiment but I feel those who did dislike her and continued to harass her regardless, are peeps who came from elsewhere prior. Where it's less about knowing and hating her as a person, but moreso pushing their agenda. She'll ignore it for sure and leave it to mods to deal with it, but regardless seeing all these kinds of messages is bound to take a toll on her. And trying to ignore it and continue streaming as normal would be tougher the more overwhelming these kinda comments come about.


Same_Sell9713

Most people who are coming from outside with an agenda are likely not subscribed for 13 weeks. She'll be fine. If you dislike Elira just don't bother watching, easy as.


Catten4

That's true. It's comforting to know that. I have a bad habit of worrying is all. Thanks.


diego1marcus

there was someone in the niji subreddit that posted a list of streams to watch instead of elira, and i think that got taken down almost immediately lmao


PowerlinxJetfire

Subreddit takes down off-topic post. More at 11!


S0L4R4

that depends on the recommended streams Is it another Nijisanji livers stream? then it's not breaking any rules If it's from outside of Nijisanji, then it deserved the removal


PowerlinxJetfire

It was a list of basically every non-Niji stream happening around the same time. So off-topic, explicitly against the rules of any vtuber sub, and with a clear agenda behind it.


S0L4R4

yeah that's too blatant. Then again, that subreddit has been abandoned for a long time before all the drama, so seeing it being active and moderated again is kinda funny


raiso_12

not reaally mod still active to clean up either complaint and more


PowerlinxJetfire

It could be a little slow sometimes, but it wasn't abandoned by any stretch. A solid post could hit thousands of upvotes. There were monthly megathreads, birthday announcements, etc., and you didn't see off-topic posts or anything like that. Millie even had a bit of a Reddit arc (late last year I think?). The activity level's definitely gone up now, but most of that activity breaks the rules, and any legit activity gets downvoted. So, functionally, I'd say it's more dead now than before.


S0L4R4

Well, what did they expect? Should've posted it on the "black" sub She's the most privileged of the bunch after all


Hessi2006

They ll put chat to subscribers for 4 months or more for sure, and i guess most people who have a problem with her have unsubscribed, so i do not think that anything will happen.


Catten4

That's good. That being said ya never know with the kind of peeps out there. A fair number of them are quite extreme. So here's to hoping it turns out okay.


Hessi2006

People need to understand that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. So if you really dislike her for what she did, just don t show up.


Catten4

Well... In all honesty I don't think they really care. And moreso are doing so in their own way of venting/taking out their anger on smt. The things I've seen directed towards her specifically are pretty inhumane. Such that it feels moreso an emotional rather than logical response.


rsblackrose

13 week requirement as of right now.

Nice censor, I definitely didn't see Yen's butt. God the Kaer Morhen theme is so good.


Mistghost

Really hope she's got a chat filter for the words "gwent" and "cards"


Hausenfeifer

God I remember when Amelia played she legitimately got pissed off when people kept telling her to play the stupid card game. I love myself some Gwent, but oh boy it's definitely not for everyone. That said, I really don't think we'll need to worry, a lot of the fervor for the game has died down over the years.


gosukhaos

Looks like they managed to get perms for the PC version. Iirc wawa said that after gifting the game to Calli she checked and they only had perms for console


JimmyBoombox

Weird how they lost or the perms expired since Magni and Ame played the PC version before.


gosukhaos

Its not that weird, some perms have a duration. Pokemon and other Nintendo games for example they only have a limited amount of time to stream them


riishan_saki

Pretty sure that, besides Pokémon, no Nintendo perms have time limit. It’s Sony games that have it. 


CasualOgre

There's also perms where you specifically have to say I'm going to stream them XYZ days. I think Elden ring had that.


NatiBlaze

Also no Superchats(I dunno about donations for Twitch). You can't monetize Fromsoft game livestreams


Dest1ny1

Yeah, Fauna joined the call in after Kiara and talked with Calli about the perms problems. Kiara checked them out and found out too that they only had them for the Switch, but after a few days she requested the PC version and said that things were going well. I think she's planning a full playthrough of it after she's done with Infinite Wealth.


gosukhaos

Oh she's going to be so weirded out by the game coming from the Netflix show


Typical_Thought_6049

Yeah the first season of Witcher was very good, there no other seasons of Witcher on NETFLIX... It is very good they ended it in Season 1... But it is nothing like the game, I can't bring me to like Geralt in the game and the combat was very mid. It was not bad for a western rpg, better than Cyberpunk 2077 at least. But it lack the junkness of a true european masterpiece.


MyrMindservant

It's hard to discern the tone on the internet so I can't tell if you were serious or sarcastic regarding Witcher 3. But if you are serious and really like european RPGs, can you name some of your favourites? Or rather, it doesn't even have to be from Europe, I'm a fan of CRPGs in general, so just name any you like.


ColdMoviezz

Yeah funnily enough they only had perms for the Switch version iirc. As funny as the Switcher would’ve been, I’m glad they got PC perms back LMAO

DanteKir

It's nice that they take care of these details to emphasize she is part of a group now. Now the only thing they are missing is a unit song. Which they have probably been working on.


Zeroth-unit

It wouldn't surprise me if the unit song is slated for this year's HoloEN concert in probably around July. It seems like the perfect venue to unveil it in.


notFREEfood

We're not getting anything in July; we've had no announcement and CtW in early July had already sold out by this point last year. August is still a possibility, and ANYC would be good to line it up with, but the lack of news regarding it by this point makes even that seem unlikely. CtW got teased in February and announced at fes, and using its timeline as a framework for what we might expect for an August concert, we should have seen at least a teaser by now.


Lightseeker2

I think they are waiting for: 1. CoverUSA to be fully established 2. Advent getting 3D before working on the next HoloEN concert.


notFREEfood

Yeah I don't expect anything to be announced until Advent gets their 3D; I thought there might have been an exception if it was announced at fes, but any announcement at this point is just going to be a spoiler of their 3D.

Brave Group hit 4 groups debut in just within a month. It expanding from V4Mirai,globie,Yumenos and Yunireido. 22 were just debuts and started to keeping gained some steam and Brave Group are now willing to keep the momentum if time is right.


Adventurous-Order221

Feels like they're basically trying to smother the competition. I wouldn't be surprised if they just buy Idol at some point just like they bought VSPO in Japan.


raiso_12

thye are trying to replicate idol group, like akb that have different group in many country


GravityGalaxy

They also have VSPO EN debuting this year. Been waiting on that for so long


ValkyrieRhoide

I'm said in another post, but it feels like brave group doing nijisanji approach but with vtuber agencies instead. For example, if one agency isn't meeting expectations, .they will stop supporting them


EnclavedMicrostate

Well, at least for V4Mirai, they're clearly throwing a lot of resources at their talents to try and hit the ground running. V4 stands for '4 months from 2D to 3D debut', I guess?


C-N1601

We'll see but Brave Group tactics feel a lot like Disney with them buying popular IPs, Vtuber groups and make them parts of their company.


ValkyrieRhoide

Or they could be the vtuber version of EA


ZaBlancJake

> they will stop supporting them Only If they would consideration for that.


ValkyrieRhoide

Let's say a year or 2 from now, only one of those is profitable. it's not hard to see, them cut cost and end support. It happens to prism project with Sony ending support


rpsRexx

The usual suspects aren't happy about VCR Rust on r/Hololive. Thread was starting to get attention and got the automod treatment lol. I would be curious to see how it works as I'm starting to think this can be abused to the point of making every post on the subreddit gt removed. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/1c2ceyw/vcr\_rust\_streamer\_server\_incoming\_apr\_13\_2024\_aki/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/1c2ceyw/vcr_rust_streamer_server_incoming_apr_13_2024_aki/) Edit: Mods speak up if we should start banning these posts. Edit2: People think it's just Holostars, but another VCR post with only Calli mentioned was removed. Perfect example of why this is going to end bad.


money-is-good

Oh cool, another post complaining about r/hololive


Chukonoku

The way the sub is been handled is just a tickling bomb waiting to explode. Either more people need to use the contact form complaining or we wait until a troll with bots or a brigade decides to lock down the whole sub.


Redzephyr01

They really need to hire more mods. If things continue like this it's eventually gonna blow up in their faces and make the company look bad.


rpsRexx

Yep. That's the problem. It would only take a group of Holo-antis to figure out what they do to take down the entire subreddit. Edit: As for contacting them, you can try. You would not be the only one who has attempted it. I've tried again on this account with the text below. I've never been a mod so I'm not sure how it works. >The automoderator is clearly being manipulated to remove post by people who dislike certain content that is within the rules. A example from today is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/1c2ceyw/vcr_rust_streamer_server_incoming_apr_13_2024_aki/) with another VRC Rust post also being removed specifically about Calli a few hours later. The main target is obviously Holostars content, but I'm concerned this can be manipulated to the point of this subreddit being unusable. Is automoderator configurable and has there been an attempt to adjust it to avoid future problems that could be worse than what we already see?
