/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Man, here I thought Astel's team had a really good shot for second champion, but then the Eurice+Amatsuki team just rolled them over like they were nothing.

jackal bossu love!

>>45902523
Last thread>>45829441

Miyabi love!

>>45902626
And lots of sex!

Overall a fun tourney and Astel got to play with new people again. A bit bummed about the cancelled interview but given this is about Astel he will get another opportunity somewhere else surely again. It stings really hard especially after he already missed 3rd place interview during the last CR but my hopium is strong.

Gamma love!

Rikka is a cutie.

How does that work? Does the age restriction get applied to archive or will it prevent people from watching it live too?

I love Roberu!!

Astel joined today's Vsaikyou customs, no pov from the looks of it for now, but Chihiro is currently spectating his team

>>45904817
Rip, the ended up dying to a listener’s team

>>45904879
*they, I missed a letter

OgaRobe longing...

https://twitter.com/narusenaru_2434/status/1639531136862015488
Naruse Naru sent a message, guess he’s not singing with Rio
>>45905052
Speaking of OgaRobe, I feel like management has also been subtly pushing them together in promotional material the same way they did with Shadowgear

>>45905246
Is it weird if the "death" of Babudon made me realize how much better OgaRobe is? It just feels like they're more comfortable around each other and the whole thing about Oga being the only one who can keep up with Roberu's pace.

>>45904879
Yup, at least he got to take down Pakael before that, so he was probably already satisfied
Also it was funny to see Laplus react to Gamma being in Qpi's team and Astel being Master ranked ngl

>>45906314
What did she say?

>>45906270
It makes sense since after business duos die the only duos that are left are those where both partners want to come together.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM0vXZFD9qA
Anon was asking about Astel/Reid yesterday and here it is plus Aruse. Astel has been casually spying on the different team comps and no one suspects anything

>>45906602
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au5NjB8rmCQ
Astel PoV

>>45906270
It’s because Roberu and Oga just act like their usual selves around one another which is why it’s one of Roberu’s more natural-feeling pairs.
Babudon in comparison has always had a bit of a performative aspect to it where Shien exaggerates his attachment to Roberu while Roberu either acts like a tsundere or initiates some teensy bit of fujobait that he expects Shien to follow through. That’s not to say their entire friendship is completely fake since there’s a few hints here and there (at least from Shien’s side, I don’t know about Roberu) that they’re still on good terms behind the scenes

>>45906602
kek Astel and Reid are just bullying Aruse together

Gamma love

>>45905052
...And SEX!

>>45906344
My japanese comprehension is almost non existent so you can check at 1:22:45 of Chihiro's stream if you know some
But I could understand that when she found out about Qpi's 3rd member, she was surprised and said "Oh wait, this guy is from my company" and mentioned his name multiple time while jokingly saying she's gonna remember his face and name (probably cause of her wanting to study the enemy teams). The moment Astel joined, she then laughed at him trolling in chat after noticing from his name that he was also from Holopro. When asking if he was strong, she panicked in funny way the moment dtto and Chihiro told her he was Master Ranked

Astel insists on Hal topping him.

>>45906640
Enter RPR

>>45907961
Astel just cucked rpr from them.

>>45907835
Yes…YES

>>45907511
please, not lap+.....

Majin love!

>Stars on Stars violence
Home...

>>45907511
Yeah here's their rare interaction when probably both of them dont even realise theyre from the same company kekw

>>45908861
she's a kenzoku, how does she not know him?

>>45907961
iPN on VC

>>45906640
>>45908015
How did this happen have they collabed before?

>>45908980
She’s a no-males holo, why would you think she’d pay attention when towa interacts with males?

Obvious champ from those 2 monsters

>>45909046
Astel was alone in the lobby after Reid's third member was able to join the lobby and RPR asked him to play together when he saw him.

>>45909046
No, though I do remember there were plans of an Astellie + rpr collab floating around a while ago that just didn't materialize.

>>45908980
or probably you know, just an on stream act

>>45909046
Rpr joined a session with Restia or a tempus member a while back

>>45908861
As someone who has both of them as my oshis (Yeah I know, I'm probably a rare breed), this somewhat makes me happy

>>45910539
Go watch the VOD as this anon >>45907511 said anon, if you want more crumbs

>>45910539
suddenly counting my blessings to have Shien and Baelz as my oshis

Astel joined Meika team
Is this his first interaction with Shiina?

>>45910833
Looks like it.

Where can I find holostars porn? Preferably not yaoi.

meika-han....

>>45911546
>Preferably not yaoi
Unless you find a rare yume artist, nowhere.

>>45911546
roru, rumao

>>45911546
In my head.

>>45911546
sims 4

>>45911546
i make them inside my head

>>45911546
I know there's an artist who likes drawing ouka being slutty but that's about it.

>>45911546

>>45912246
>yume artist
I am under the impression that yumes and fujos have the same amount of creative potential due to their strong feelings but they generally invest it in different crafts. Sometimes you can find fujo artists with a tendency for yume feelings but the fujo part of them is always stronger.

>>45912502
I want oga to lean into that...He used super feminine way of speaking for entirety of holocure because he wanted to throw a bone for viewers that had gotten baited by bigtitty swimsuit ouka in the thumbnail. He kept saying things you'd hear in ecchi manga (a lot is coming out~) and afterwards had the audacity to tweet about maybe awakening something in people probably.
I want him to do slutty stream roleplaying as ouka, maybe he won't chicken out with doing lewd things that way.

Honestly seeing Astel going around being "mercenary" for other teams before the official scrims start is really nice. We can see different interactions for various people and he wont need to hold back. After all is a good thing I guess he decide to distance himself from Holostars and HoloPro in general and do more outside hako collab

>>45913209
Imagine if he joins the Holostars Girls Division as Ouka on April Fools

Holy shit I thought astel was gonna do an impromptu collab with la+ because qpi was just collabing with her

>>45906640
Enter SEEEXXXXXX (Qpi)

>>45913270
yeah, im glad he's networking now and i don't need to watch LoL

More Astel and Qpi hot steamy sex!

>>45913675(me)
kek even he was worried

>>45913580
That'd be so fun...I want to believe there's something more fun coming this year than a bunch of wacky tweets from them. oga gets a pass because he had high fever at the time though.

Did Astel send a message to Lap's team about the landmarks signed as "vtuber from our company" kek

>>45913809
Lol to Astel saying that he's not Voldemort so Laplus can call his name instead of limiting herself to "Heisha" (a respectful way to address to someone from the same firm iirc) when she was cheering for him

>>45914315
That's what I understood too lmao

>>45913910
It‘s probably next to impossible (not to mention expensive) but I’d like to think that at least Rikka got an official model or png for April Fools. Or maybe Shien finally got his Tsueso model rigged, who knows

>>45913797
>gyu~
>>45914315
Yeah, astel's team get priority in choosing a landmark so he told her

>>45913797
How many girls has Astel fucked this week alone?

>>45914315
Now he dumpsters her kek

>>45914611
As many as he wants

late fuma love!

>>45911546
There's a yume who drew Shien tying up a faceless girl and Rio touching her boobs, but her twitter is private and doesn't allow you in unless you have all the stars blocked.

>>45910610
>>45914315
>>45914838
Anon who has those two gremlins as oshis, I can now die in peace, this is all I wanted from a possible interaction between the two of them kek

>>45910628
Holy, Kureiji Arcade must have came in clutch for you

>>45913209
I'll just close my eyes and imagine regular Oga because I've always had this image of him being slutty and clingy in my head. Actually you could imagine Ouka while listening the massage roleplay because I feel he puts on the same voice.

>>45915131
Does lap team not have a pov rn? Their team was watching Astel's pov the entire match

>>45915517
Yeah none of them has a POV up, Im kinda wondering about her reaction too kekw

>>45915572
Sad
That small bit from chihiro's stream was really good too, imagine an entire match pov

>>45915517
Looks like she ended her stream after qpi left to join astel

>>45915517
Sadly no, both Laplus and Yui ended their streams after Qpi left, and dtto isn't live on Twitch nor Youtube
I really wish I could have seen that

>Some may be sending in messages instead of singing
Who do you think is going to send a message instead? My only bet is Vesper.
https://twitter.com/chiharu_vaka/status/1639551800989696000?t=luAy0AUxnRw3fN7upOunpQ&s=19

>>45915131
You get the brats fighting for the landmark in chihiro's stream, laplus watching astel's p2020 on her stream, brats fighting for the landmark again on astel's stream+astel dunking on her

>>45915869
Im expecting messages from all of tempus aside from Hakka and Axel.

Since we all already know these interactions between astel and laplus are going to get clipped to high hell and back, take your bets on how viral it will get and how many additional subs astel will get from it

>>45916208
By the end of VSaikyou 5, I predict Astel might surpass 250k subs

What did astel say that made them silent for 30 secs?

>>45917283
A viewer said that Astel really having fun then Astel replied with ofcourse hes having fun cause rn hes being surrounded by 2 girls, that was very cringe to watch kekw

>>45917367
Kek
Thats another 100k view clip later

>roberu stopped being a whore after settling down with mea
>now astel is the one going around and gathering girls for his own harem
Does this mean temma will follow his genmates’ footsteps once astel finds his dream girl?

>>45917872
Kinda wanna see that to see aunties' reaction but thats in another universe

>>45917872
of course temma needs a girl who can make abe's dream come true

>>45917367
Was it a “what the fuck did this bitch just say” sort of silence or the genuinely uncomfortable sort of silence?

>>45918231
kinda a mix of both but Qpi is just like that to Astel, dunno about Shiina tho

>>45918231
>>45918344
I guess last time qpi did say she's not good with dirty jokes and the kind

Miyabi is right, Ashely would be a good dbd character choice for a survivor.

>>45918489
Yeah she cant really respond to Astel being very aggressive towards her thats why sometimes she just goes silent, but its not the bad kind of silent tho

>>45917872
Astel doesn't strike me as the type who would end up having a main collab partner.

>>45918677
That is (was?) Izuru

>>45918489
After their last collab she told him not to call her cute, which he hasn't done again so he does tone it down if he's told.

>>45918764
I feel like Izuru is different because they're just playing as friends dropping in whenever, they don't make their collabs a showcase as a unit.

anyone got the sc of axel's tabs?

>>45918922
>they don't make their collabs a showcase as a unit
Even if they didn’t, it still doesn’t change the fact that Izuru was (big emphasis on was) the person Astel used to collab with the most

>>45919054
His twitter banner (Izuru's) is still both of them together, isn't it ? The Halloween themed illustration

>>45919424
Yeah, I don’t think Izuru will ever bother to change it. Not that any of the stars frequently change their twitter banners in the first place

Astel has stopped using only 1 weapon.

Goodnight, astel general. I’ll see you all in the morning

>>45921640
Night. I'll try posting about other streams too tomorrow, but this might be like this all month given there are 3 weeks until the actual tournament

>>45918040
Aunties are part of a breeding harem and they know it. They understand that Temma needs to repopulate Japan and they probably wouldn't judge him.

>>45923282
they would shitpost about how many babies he will have

>>45916208
>how viral it will get
Beggars will have a field day with this.

>>45923897
I'm not sure, I think even the beggars know La+ is in a delicate situation (some of them anyway)

>>45923897
Don’t forget the antis. Laplus has a lot of those after all

Another lap+ crumb

>>45924693
What happened? I was afk for a bit

IM STILL FUCKING UPSET ABOUT STARCOLLE FUCK. Why can't the shorts have decent captions ffs if they limit the shorts to their JP audience and post only once a week it will severely hurt their numbers, the management is stupid

>>45924829
Usual landmark talk
Whats that name they call each other

>>45925030
Ah I see, kek
It's Heisha

>>45924920
Im not hopeful but there is always the chance of something nicer for the next short, this one didnt really need caps anyway.

>>45924920
StarsColle is really an easy way for people to show their friends the Stars, JP or EN, since it's an easier foot in the door the deciding to join an stream for someone you don't know.

>>45924920
>First Starkore
>300k
>First HolostarShort
>not even 10k
Management fucked up immensely. The good thing is that they might return and make a StarKore season 2 after they realize how much they fucked up.

>>45925206
Exactly. These shorts are not going to appeal to new people enough.

>>45925613
>The good thing is that they might return and make a StarKore season 2 after they realize how much they fucked up.
the good timeline
>management realizes how much of a fucky wucky they made
>bring starkore back for a season 2
>tempus joins and numbers go back up
>fans rejoicing and tweeting about it uncensored creates more interest

>>45906640
in the case someone wants to know, kanae joined in astel team VC for a bit. as far as i remember it was before last match

>>45925870
Nice, I will look at the archive later.

>>45925142
Someone needs to bite the bullet and send a formal complaint to management and request a better way to include captions for these shorts, or return to the old format.

>>45925613
the final starcolle got more views than the first short did, i hope whatever numberfags are managing this shit get the message

>>45926031
How do you submit things to management?

Theory time, they ended Starcolle with a meteor hitting the concert in order to have Season 2's setting take place in Elysium in order to allow 3D Tempus to appear for lore reasons
No, I will not take my meds

>>45926470
Based

>>45926031
They should post the short with subtitles in the video (and post several versions of the same short with different subtitles) if they can't enable CC.

>>45926634
that would increase visibility and frequency of posting but it would also divide the audience, having cc would mean everyone was giving numbers to the same video

the only reason the starcolle views went down is because they stopped posting them live and tamed things down too much, they fucked up a good thing and then put it to pasture instead of actually fixing it desu

Timestamp to the Good boy thing with altnoc?

>>45925850
Even better?
>StarColle 2.0 is all written by the Stars themselves
>Temma ends up writing a significant amount of the episodes because the management likes him

>>45926416
Leddit

>>45927408
I remebr when people asked for the live StarKore back and we (temporarily) got it. So they do listen if you actually talk to them.

No one saw it coming lmao

Honorary JP

I wouldn't be suprised if the boys themselves wanted to switch to the short format since some of their shorts do very well. I was excited for the new HoloGra but now I just can't bring myself to watch it because of this.

>>45927853
I don't think they have much say in that. Management is calling the shots for pretty much everything on the official channel.

I'm liking this Astel apex ASMR stream.

>>45927829
Not what I was expecting from the apple at all.

Qpi hanging out to catch astel redhanded at the end of stream

>>45927982
>>45928317
That was great lmao

>>45927829
That art is hyping me so much wow, can't wait to listen to it

Wtf you guys weren't kidding about JP clips of Astel blowing up lately, the one he was watching a few minutes ago from yesterday's stream is already at 124k views despite only having been posted 14 hours ago (then again it's definitely helped by the fact that a channel with 167k subs uploaded it, but still impressive considering it did more numbers than the past 6 clips of the channel, and they're Kuzuha, Hinano, etc clips)

>>45928884
Roberu and Astel are right (I wish they weren't but they are). Holostars is a debuff and all they have to do to get more popular is do more outside of it. The real question is, why isn't Aruran reaping the same benefits?

>>45929035
The fuck does everyone have against the name "Holostars"...

>>45929193
Its the "idol image" since they share the same image as Hololive, and most people outside of unicorn and idolfags dont want to know about the bullshit in idol world

>>45916208
Not really seeing it, people don't really care about Laplus anymore, she kinda fell off, if anything Astel is the more popular of the two

>>45928317
Thats another content to clip again kekw

>>45929193
It's not about being against it but to non-fans it's off putting for various reasons. Some might not want to watch anything "Holo" related or some might think if "Holostars" is a group that it might be hard to enjoy the content without investing considerate amount of time to know the members. The Holostars brand/name does not spark the association of fun or good content outside of fans so it's hard to promote products with it. I have also seen some comments under clips that they felt relief to find out that Holostars are also just weird Vtubers despite being idols so the idol aspect is definitely off putting to some people as well.

>>45925613
The most recent StarColle were getting piss poor viewership, so it's no like it was a thriving series being cancelled unreasonably.
Let's be real, it really didn't have the right to stay live as long as it did with the viewership it made, just because the stars are the priority project for Cover it doesn't mean bad performance will be excused always

>>45929193
Because people who might enjoy Holostars most likely hate hololive especially their fans

>>45930017
Instead of hate maybe they just dont want to see something related to Hololive since some of the fans are deranged so most people just distance themselves

The “holo” name only works positively for “live”, with stars it turns into poison

The knight nui has the drip.

>>45930904
Cute kishinui!

>>45929035
>Aruran
Because seaweed and son are "guest" in other more popular channel while pizza bro bring other more popular in his less popular channel

>>45930512
japanese who like to watch streamers and could watch stars tend to hate hololive or their "pandering to earn uncorns' money" stereotype. and the reason some people only watch roberu/astel is they think "they are holo but not the same as the others". as for the purpose "breaking image as a holostars", astel is doing well now even though some hakooshis hate him

>>45932233
“Breaking image of holostars”
But they’re all retarded airheaded freaks…

>>45930904
Knight nui love

>>45931633
Is that literally it? Familiaran get your oshi to work things out and be a guest more often.

>>45932499
Even a lot of people Astel collabed recently for the first time only know about Holostars as idol group which is why he gets asked so often if it's okay for him to behave the way he he does. The idol image is much stronger to the outside than you'd think as a fan.

>>45931633
I've said this here before and I'll say it again. Aruran NEEDS to go to other people's channels to get new viewers. Astel and Roberu do this and always get new viewers in their chats but Aruran doesn't bother to put himself out there except for certain event streams. He's been so obsessed with Holo lately, that he's just getting hate instead. Maybe the problem goes back to him not being THAT interesting.

>>45929193
It's the idol association, which makes people think the boys will be a bunch of nerfed (aka not blatantly horny) fujo/yume bait and nerfed (aka not wild like the Nijiboys) humor. Holostars EN for example succeeded because they were able to convince people that they were "funny brotubers" and overcome that preconception (hate the term brotuber as much as you want but that is people's conception of them). Holostars JP needs to get out of their corner and put themselves out into the world and everyone will see that they are genuinely lovable and entertaining (and not just Roberu or Astel).

>>45929557
>I have also seen some comments under clips that they felt relief to find out that Holostars are also just weird Vtubers despite being idols so the idol aspect is definitely off putting to some people as well.
Literally this >>45932976

>>45930017
Anon, you need to go places other than /here/. Most Holofags and Starsfags don't hate the opposite fanbases, they just don't give a shit and aren't interested in the same things, simple as.

>>45932499
See, we know that because we watch them. But they don't so they don't know. All of the boys need to put themselves out there and break that false image.

>All this talk saying that the idol brand is the debuff
Why are idolfangirls not interested then? And don't come at me with the "It's a small public" bs just look at the Enstars fandom.

>>45932783
It's because (We)aren't Japanese so we don't always remember or fully understand how much of a misconception the "idol" brand can give them. Tempus doesn't suffer from this because the same dynamics are not at play and people just treat them like normal vtubers.

>>45933365
I mostly see these as well from the fans I already follow, though I am biased as I mainly follow female fans, they dont hate hololive at all they just dont care or only have 1 or 2 they oshi and the stars they oshi will always come first for them.

>>45933503
>Enstars
That's exactly it anon, that market is already taken. Plus the Holostars themselves are not interested in being pure fangirl bait either, so that audience is probably not getting what they would want out of them anyways. In the EN fanbase people understand this (look at the difference between NijiEN male fans and Stars EN fans).

>>45933651
most vtuber accounts I see tend to laserfocus on their oshi and not worry too much about other things desu

>>45933503
the secretive porn culture, straight up. doesn't feel like a horny fangirl paradise

>>45933503
Unironically, it's because they're not idol enough. That, and the 2D male streaming idols market is more inclined to utaite groups rather than vtubers.

>>45933503
they can watch fresh idol or anime instead of watching vtuber playing games

>>45934376
This, the fangirls are lusting over Utaites and are busy.

>>45933731
>that last part
this is important. holostars jp doesn't exactly have a clear target audience, it is for everyone and ultimately no one, and since they are jp they are already entering an oversaturated market with way too much competition. tempus filled a clear role that wasn't previously filled (a group of "brotubers", or at least something people would call that) and being en gave them a naturally bigger audience with more room for growth.

>>45933503
They're not very good at the idol thing, or the streamer thing. Being real most of them are just B- tier internet personalities. But that's comforting to some people and that's why they have a fan base, also extremely heavy handed support by their parent company

>>45935070
I don't think they are "b-tier" but you have a point. They aren't brotubers or hornytubers or purely idoltubers, they are cozytubers (most of them). Cozy isn't appealing to a lot of people, and one big reason Roberu Astel and Gamma got popular is because they have loud personalities and aren't just "cozy". Plus, for male chuubas, cozy might be a bit of a debuff, but I'm not sure.

>>45935070
>not very good at the idol thing
except most of them are better singers than the vast majority of the girls in their company(some of them just fucking fantastic singers in general), and their choreography is pretty on point too
>or the streamer thing
except they're capable of being pretty fucking funny and entertaining, both with each other and solo, they've just mellowed out over time
>most of them are just B- tier internet personalities
If you really believe this, why the fuck are you even here?

>breaking image of HoloStars
>They just need exposure
They were put in front of over 100k people for New Years, made the only PoV for the HoloExpo tour and you know what it did? Nothing at all. They tried separating from the Stars brand with UPROAR and Tempus and even with the relative success of Tempus they’ve been bleeding viewers since debut and all of them except Magni, Bettel and Vesper regularly get StarsJP tier numbers.

>>45935295
Holostars JP is comfy. Low key, little drama, a small and laid back group of friends. Starsfags love that about the group but outsiders think it's boring, and they have other wrong ideas about Holostars too.

>>45935605
Not Holopro exposure retardchama, exposure like Roberu Rio Astel are doing (and Aruran is attempting to do). They need to collab more with people outside of the company to succeed.

>>45935070
B tier seems harsh especially after the work so many have put into to improve in singing, dancing and for a few their game skills but they cant fully lean into one thing and are a lot more niche.

So basically having a chaotic persona is how to be a success Holostar and all the non-chaotic or less chaotic ones are fucked. Since there is nothing to be done about that, I guess that's basically it.

>fantastic singers
NTA but being an idol isn't solely about being a good singer. There is no clear definition of idol and everyone has their own idea about it which is also the reason why it's hard to pander to the odol market.
I think the main problem is that the idol aspect never really leaves paid concerts or anniversaries which makes them "half-assed" idols. Barely anyone outside the usual suspects does cover songs or utawakus unless there is a special occasion.

>>45935947
isn't that just how the entire internet works? you can't clickbait cozy.

>>45935070
Also, as an idol 'group', holostars rarely do things as a group. At least Uproar resembles a proper unit but OG9 is more like a bunch of individual streamers with wildly different range of focus.

>>45935789
Putting time and effort into something doesn't guarantee you to be good at it

>>45935295
hell even female chuubas get debuffed for being just cozy but it's not as bad because the horny people make up for it

Holostars still doesn't get that much exposure. I don't see react channels jumping on Holostars as much as other vtuber groups from example. We are stuck in a vicious cycle
>small fanbase
>not enough people to recommend them to others
>less exposure
>small fanbase
Also people who say it's Cover's job to promote the boys and not ours is retarded otherwise there would be no popular indies and all corporate chuubas would be successful, it's up to a passionate fanbase to make things more popular

After 11 hours of playing RE Miyabi's ass started hurting. He doesn't sound tired at all.

I have four streams queued up, almost all of them are 3 hours, and it just keeps getting worse. I used to have almost 10 before I gave up and reset but it just happened again.
Fuck.

Finally catching up to him, outside of his face bothering him earlier he has been going on without breaks or issues.

At some point I gave up on trying to watch all the VODs and I just watch the most recent ones or the ones I want to, and then look for summaries elsewhere.

>>45936623

is this a real take?

>>45938291
He's probably referring to the twitter "people". They're known retards but they're loud.

>>45938032
The pains of being a hako-oshi in a group this big. I've completely given up on staying caught up with streams, I just watch whoever's live when I'm free and hope and pray to god that someone clips interesting moments from whatever I miss.

>People who dislike Hololive won't watch Holostars because of the association
It's not rocket science.

Makes me wonder how management hasn't pushed all of them to do more external collabs when that's how Hololive original did do get a foothold in the first place.

>>45938382
i just dont understand how anyone could think that unironically how else do they think fandoms grow?

Management will eventually do this when they figure it out since they have gone full numberfag

>vtweeters
>think
You overestimate them.

>>45940930
What do vtweeters have to do with starmin bitching about Cover not promoting the Stars when they aren't do anything to help them either

>>45939835
Honestly, I see next month as being the real test for us. If numbers don't increase after VSaikyo and VTuber Fes, then we seriously have a problem. The fans need to use this time to break out of our habits and promote the boys as much as possible. Stop using secret codes, post more screenshots, use tags, etc.

>>45941499
From what I've seen the majority of people who blame Cover and say it's their job to promote them are beggars and vtweeters.

>>45941536
Actual game plan here
>use the fucking tags
>stop censoring shit
>post in the comments of videos more, watch the songs more, game the algorithm
>promote the holostars more to people, maybe to react channels (I don't care if you find them cringe or not we need exposure)
>make clips even if you can't speak Japanese, or share clips more frequently
>basically, pretend that the Holostars are a brand new chuuba group and you are trying to help them put their best foot forward

Also (and I'm a hypocrite for saying this but it needs to be said) make the fanbase an actually fun place for newfags to be. Don't be a bunch of bitter oldfags with tons of baggage and old hangups or grudges that make it uncomfortable to be here. Don't be patronizing to new people who need more context to understand shit. SHARE your resources and post sauce when asked for sauce. Etc.

>>45942528
yeah do you really think newfags will want to join a fanbase full of jaded whinefags who miss "the old days"? that's like being a bitter middle aged divorcee who can't get over their exwife/husband and doesn't understand why young single happy people don't want anything to do with them.

>>45937813
1 hour later and Ganchan is still asleep.

>>45939835
Now that Astel’s sub gain has pretty much accelerated, I do hope the other stars managers have paid attention and can also subtly push the others to try reaching out to others more. Either that or the other stars (at least the ones who still want to improve) have taken a hint that outside collabs is needed for growth

Gamma status: still asleep. Has he beaten Fuma’s oversleeping record yet?

Fuma's was an hour and 20~ish minutes iirc, so yes.

Aka what Knight used to do before the Mario Kart brainrot took over and we got less "creatividad" streams

>join some tournaments
If only management let him join Vsaikyo…

>>45932851
>He's been so obsessed with Holo lately, that he's just getting hate instead
I honestly wonder what caused the shift in attitude. Sure he’s already done some holo-related streams in the past but ever since the model change he’s gone full throttle on the whole hololive thing like altering his dj sessions to use more hololive music and trying to get more collabs with holos like fubuki, matsuri, aki, and now towa

>>45937813
It's up ft. very tired Gamma

>>45947164
At least he is going to play Biohazard 4 now, we get to go back to some classic Knight content.

Congrats izurufags, your oshi is not doing a solo valorant stream on twitch this time

Are any of the JP Starmin taking the situation this seriously? I see the kaigais acting like they collectively need to turn a new leaf and do better but I don't know if anyone on the JP side is reqcting this way. I haven't checked 2chan in a while and I don't follow many of them on the bird app.

I really hate the name starmin

>>45953154

>>45953154

It sounds kind of goofy but it's catchy

I don't get the hate for Starmin as a name when there's J-pop idols with fandoms like My Foot Clan. Starmin's cute.

i like starmin and like pikmin
pikmin are cute
starmin also sounds cute

>>45955033
You are gay and you will perform gay acts ITT now

>>45953459
I actually also prefer the name Starlight, but it's too Twittery for this thread. Starmin is just uncreative to me, but I guess it is the official name.

>>45955303
Cute is a debuff I prefer something like >>45953295

>>45952283
I think there were a couple who were upset about starcolle being discontinued but I have no idea about their thoughts regarding the stars’ growth (or lack thereof)
Then again they were also partly responsible for the stagnancy of the stars so…

>>45952283
I have no idea, I also don't follow enough Nihonjin.

>>45955674
So the kaigaifags are actually trying while the nipponfags are just mildly upset and don't plan to do anything in particular?

>>45955456
But i am not into 3d…

thingkin about temma's performance in journey to find stars.
pretty kewl

>>45952283
No offense but japanese are too passive and scared of taking action that's why so many companies treat their employees like shit and still don't up the consenting age to 18.

>>45955848
Kaigai fans just tend to do more in general. Hell, look at the holo side and you’ll see how almost all of the most iconic fan games that the girls have been playing are made by kaigainikis

>>45955925
Temma's "Go!" Will leave in my.mind forever.

>>45956248
Come to think of it, you made a great point thwt I never thought about. A lot of the activity on both the girls and boys side is from the overseas fans. Are (We) supposed to save them?

>>45956086
We need Astel to scold them again (if they will listen)

>>45955925
Next time I want him to pull out his sword and then actually impale someone

>>45956979
Scolding doesn't work, we need the kaigais Starsfags to outperform them as a fanbase and then they will feel the pressure to not be outclassed by the gaijin

Speaking of RE4, I wasn’t able to watch Miyabi’s archive but did he do the puzzles on screen? I heard that Koyori had to cover them when she streamed RE4 the other day

>dark knight Temma is back for RE4
>Izuru picked up his piano again
I'm so happy

>>45957381
Unnironacly this might work.

>>45959885
The meteor didn't kill them, it saved them...

>>45907835
I thought anon was just saying this to be horny, but I'm watching Astel's VOD now and he really is talking about ship name order and saying it's HalAstel.

>>45959917
Time to get to it then.

the conversation about twitter people being /here/ the other day is making me wonder how many of you I would know if I thought about it hard enough

Shien yume I see you

>>45960018
Scary...

>Temma keeps stabbing the shit out of that one dead body
Kek
Also ngl when he speaks in a serious deeper tone of voice it makes me DIAMONDS

>>45960018
genuinely curious, without naming names, which anons do people think they recognise

>jpfags are too passive we need to save them
what do izurufags do? he doesnt give a fuck about gaijins in his chat. i feel like he doesnt want growth at all, same with miyabi, these two just want to stay close to their small-ish viewerbase and not deal with an influx of newcomers not caught up to their etiquette and all that japanese respect shit

>>45960018
>>45960291
I already memorized four anons itt and their twitter accounts. Not hard to do considering two of them occasionally post screenshots from /vt/ on their twitter accounts, one of them immediately outed herself on Grac’s unlisted /stars/ screenshot compilation video, and the last one gives out so much free information about herself that at this point it wouldn’t surprise me if somebody on this board found out exactly where she lives and works at in Scotland

>>45960394
All the gaijins in Izuru's chat are speaking Japanese. Whenever he says he'll give out replies on twitter I never see a single non-JP fan comment in English. I remember he got rid of his free chat once and they had to ask him to put it back, made me wonder if he was even aware people were still using it to translate.

Also I disagree about Miyabi, he's very enthusiastic about kaigai and tries his best for them, but everyone knows Miyabi is eigo dekinai so they use Japanese for his sake.

>>45960394
And that is not necessarily a bad thing

>>45960497
I think that last one is not actually a fan account, it's just her regular personal account so she doesn't keep a separation I would be too scared to show family or work people that stuff but I can respect it

>>45960291
Fuma anon, MAYBE Gamma anon, one of the Majin love anons, oh and recently the “Rikka is a cutie” anon.

>>45960018
Some of them are females making "I post in 4chan" into their personality, others straight up post screenshots or reaction images from /here/, and some others coincidentally mention certain topics after they're brought up itt a little too much to always be coincidental. And like some anons already pointed out there's a bunch of them with shit opsecs. Overall I find it kinda amusing.
>t.twitterfag

>>45960604
yeah we type in jp cause he ignores en chat, that part was only about izuru. i didnt mean miyabi doesnt want en viewers, just that he doesnt do anything to put himself out there in general. he seems content with his viewership right now, then again i wonder how much you can continue streaming for the fun and never for the numbers

>>45960394
Izurufags accept that their oshi wants to stay in his corner and not grow because that is exactly what will happen

>>45960884
>There are finally Tuners ITT
THE TIMELINE IS CORRECTING ITSELF

>>45960497
literally why would you memorise them

>>45961625
Maybe memorize is not the correct word. Something more like pinpointed or recognized is correct but technically after repeated exposure you do tend to memorize some things even if they’re against your will

>>45961625
Anon the Holostars JP fanbase has like 100 people in it tops, it's not memorizing any more than living in a small town and recognizing every face is "memorizing"

>>45963453
Can you even raid another age-restricted stream from your own age-restricted stream?

>>45963453
>>45963508
I don't think he's ever raided into a JP stream. Even when chat suggested it when he's looking for someone, he'll just close out instead. But I don't think it's out of any negative feelings towards his senpais, I think Bettel is just a little shy about the language barrier and doesn't want to bother them or something. All the other VG boys have raided into a JP stream, but they also all seem more comfortable with those interactions. But I agree and I wish he would as well.

Bettel is an awkward motherfucker but a good guy, I totally believe he is trying not to spaghetti spill and it's not anything worse than that. But Bettel's Mama made art for Temma so that would be a funny connection to make.

>>45964020
I am horny when Temmer does violent things and I can't control it. There is no redemption for me.

>>45964020
I've fantasized about becoming Hakka's girlfriend and him coming to my country to have a date with me.

>>45964020
I don't even like most of the game my oshi plays, but I enjoy watching him anyway.
>>45964113
Hope you're enjoying the Bio arc, anon.

>>45964020
Rather than having sexual thoughts about my oshi, I fantasize about being in an abusive/toxic relationship with him much more often.

>>45964020
Watching Shogun has made me find some enjoyment in watching high(ish) level Valorant. I just wish he'd play it with other chuubas more often.

>>45964020
Sometimes I wish shien would host more collabs on his channel or at least set up his own povs because going more than 3 days without new streams/vods clearly hurts his channel and keeps it out of the algorithm
Also I want him to make more crackhead shorts and videos, the ramen timer one was actually funny

>>45964020
Miyabi turned me into an architectfag. Not to an absurd degree, but I enjoy hearing him talk about food and imagining him with a cute belly that's perfect for squeezing

MATSURI KEEP MY MEN OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IN THIS STREAM FUCK.

>>45964020
I don't care that he collabs with girls so there are very few that rub me the wrong way but in this case I didn't like the interaction between Niu and Astel on Gorilla's stream. Yes I'm a yume.

>>45964809
Did she bring up Astel to Laplus or did she talk about a different member?

>Knight shreds a man open with a chainsaw and laughs
why am I like this

>>45964020
I sometimes imagine how Holostars Jp will change depending on which member of the OG9 graduates.

>>45964891
I think if any member of O9 graduated it would be a big deal and have a massive impact on the rest of O9.

>>45964020
I liked Hololive collabs and I was pro unity until Mori and Kronii started collabing.

>>45964020
I’m both a CGDCT and CBDCT fag but not a complete unicorn. I think some female-male collabs are fine but if it goes too far like Astel borderline sexually harassing Qpi a few hours ago it just becomes cringy

>>45964712
His birthday vlog did unholy, punipuni things to my mind.
>Going on a date where he takes you to try all of these foods he likes
>He gets so excited talking about them
>He's so happy you're there with him
>You go home a take a nap together
>You lazily grope his tummy and thighs because you like the softness
>He gets embarrassed
>Make it worse by telling them they are soft like pancakes
>Spend the rest of the evening gently feeling up the flower and reaffirming how much you like him
>Soft and sweet sex ensues

>>45964822
I'm not a yume but I didn't enjoy Niu and Astel's chemistry either, one of the reasons his interactions with girls are funny is because he's obviously messing with them and they tsukkomi him, Niu reciprocating especially with the way she uses her voice just wasn't entertaining for my tastes.

>>45965066
Does Gamma like them THICC?

>>45965066
It's not, but he's come close to unironically saving me from my eating disorder due to that one stream where he talked about it. Gamma is a good man

>>45964020
Even though I feel proud that my oshi is busy working hard and is popular, I do get jealous other fans get to spend more time with their oshis.

>>45964020
Mori and Ollie made me despise EN/ID collabs with the boys (and I even used to be a unity flag.) JPs are fine though.

>>45964020
I constantly fantasize of my oshi graduating because sometimes I'd rather fully support his roommate instead.

>>45965298
He doesn't like when girls starve themselves and he talked about it once

>>45964809
Rumao

>>45964020
I'm never going ro forgive management for what happened to StarKore. Even if they bring it back.

>>45936623
Reaction channels have stopped doing stars content after management copyright struck one of them for reacting to Journey to Find Stars

>>45966029
I still see some doing it, but just not anybody new.

Didn't see anyone mention it but management actually asked Astel if he wanted a new outfit, he said no and that it's not what they should be spending money on right now.

>>45966096
Why would he get a new outfit when he has already had so many? Astel is right that the management does need to focus on other things.
