ghost 2687 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Anyone else here watch Japanese V-tubers on youtube? I'm not usually into really cutesy or idol-related entertainment but these videos have been a constant source of comedy for me lately. I don't really know the nitty gritty but, for those unintroduced, Hololive is an agency that works with virtual youtubers. They're essentially a 2D or 3D character model dawned with a unique personality and character type (e.g. Korone Inugami the dog vtuber with a sweet & playful personality or Houshou Marine the obscene and playful pirate). I've heard people going so far as referring to these personalities as "idols", which, I think is actually accurate. There are a ton of vtubers so I've only watched a few handful of these personalities myself. Most of them just stream games anyways and I usually end up watching clips that other people repost. But the draw of these vtubers for me is that they're supposed to be these pure idol-like characters but they just end up making very obscene and explicit videos and things get crazy REAL fast. But that's enough talking, here are a few clips *Fair warning, very NSFW This should give you good sense of the range of hololive videos and characters These are a few of my favs: Edited August 31, 2020 by ghost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
violetchain 912 Posted September 1, 2020 I can't say I'm particularly familiar with Hololive - especially that sort of content - but I've seen a few videos from AZKi, who I believe is one of their main music-focused V-tubers. She has a cute voice. 1 ghost reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanishi 598 Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Gonna post a bunch of stuff that's related to this forum: Kiryu Coco has said she was a bangya in the past. She did a stream talking about it, 'exposing the mysterious and strange rules of the bangya world': Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cS_vsLYTUo She also sings L'Arc-en-Ciel and Golden Bomber songs in her streams (possible others too but I don't follow her much) and here's a small snippet of her singing An Cafe. She's the worst singer in the group but singing was far from the main reason for hiring her. Spoiler https://youtu.be/KszKb72miv4?t=2027 The drummer of Golden Bomber was the focus of an episode of a vtuber sitcom that aired on TV that featured some hololive members and others. At the end they sing memeshikute. I posted about it here: https://monochrome-heaven.com/topic/56652-visual-kei-popping-up-in-unexpected-places/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-694729 And not hololive related but a Nijisanji guy did a live 3d concert covering 9mm Parabellum Bullet, THE BACK HORN, ONE OK ROCK and other bands. The 3d tracking on all the instruments and such is super impressive and he's a really good singer. afaik it has the superchat record and views record for vtuber streams.

violetchain 912 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) So I checked out some of the content from the new Hololive English branch recently out of curiosity, and I'm kind of loving Mori Calliope. "later on, as I was writing some 'flaming bars',..." is a quality lead-in to telling your fans you want to call them "Dead Beats". https://youtu.be/M1_GeIfn48M?t=1465 And, honestly, 'flaming bars' is a fair description. Gawr Gura randomly covering Tatsuro Yamashita and saying "City Pop Shark - that is me." is also quality content.
