Cool, it's been a while!

Didn't realize the cost of getting in a master lobby was that high

>>46541308
It depends on the Master. Once you reach Masters it's 70 but it goes up by 5 every 1000 RP you gain and it can go up to 250 a match. He's got to be one of the top masters with that level of cost.

>>46540183
And cbt

Aunties, predictions for Knight's menshi?? He seems to have some kind of plans.

>>46541605
Thanks for the explanation!

>>46541308
Wtf I thought kawase was blonde this entire time

https://www.youtube.com/live/19E5lp5dch0
Looks like rikka has an announcement today. I’m guessing it’s probably birthday-related

>>46539532

I love Roberu!!

>>46542706
>Winning Son on his phone case
Cute.

>>46539532
Rio has body type 2 anon, please cover those nipples now.

>>46542127
He's said that it's evolving, but looking at others who recently changed their menshi, I'd guess that maybe more voice content?

>>46542706
>Roberu could come to a western convention
I want to go see him and meet other fans there. I want to hang out with you guys at a con.

>>46543185
Roberu would be fully welcomed at a western con, he is the funny meme man after all

>>46543224
Stars stuff, even EN, is almost non existent in my part of the US, but apparently one artist I talked to this weekend at a con has had several people ask about Stars art. I'm really happy Cover is trying to get them visibility in that scene.

>>46543398
>fan demand is there
based, good to know that the fans are that passionate even if they are smaller.

>>46542127
for me as long as temma doesn't add more tiers i will be happy desu

I'm seeing a lot more Stars stuff pop up in stores here in Japan, too. Places like Kotobukiya have started actually giving them their own section rather than shoving them in with Hololive, which is nice.

Kek who the fuck recommended the r-18 yaoi mobage to shinri?

>>46543603
>nvm found it
I'd like to see some kind of meme stream where it's nu:c but entirely in the stealth mode

>>46543424
A holofan even recognized my itabag and it made my day. Gave me hope one day I'll get wasted with you all and take nui pictures together.

>>46540426
So excited for my fat fuck, I've just been staring longingly on that picture of him and Yagoo all weekend. I bet he's hefty

Where is the roberu tweet for the ambassador thing?

>>46544496
probably has been busy with the 3D event happening today

>>46544496
Talents usually aren't told when news are released so if he didn't check twitter, he didn't notice.

are they gonna have sex on stream?

he literally can't stop swinging those breedable hips

>>46548031
Holy shit

>>46548031
Amazing song choice, their voices go so well together

>>46548031
Astel's right arm is oddly tiny and I can't fucking unsee it.

>>46548031
Loved every second of it!

>>46548031
this hits hard damn

>>46548031
Actually love this one

>>46548031
They both sound great, certified hood classic

>there’s more people paying attention to astel’s cover than rikka’s upcoming announcement
Old man…

>>46548957
I'm watching him, but he's trying to figure out how to fix his mocopi.

>>46548957
Tbf I am under the assumption that the announcement is the sub account and it being an announcement also implies whatever it entails will come at a later date unlike a cover that just premiered. It's better to get used to Astel's activity generally causing more engagement and stop comparing him to the others anyways.

Could Rikka have his guitar be tracked with Mocopi?

>>46549402
I think Mocopi is strictly for the human body so probably not. Speaking of the guitar, do Rikka and Izuru have access to their respective guitar models?

>>46549402
Mocopi only has six tracker for the body so no.

>>46548957
I thought everyone knows there are no tuners in this thread

New original song!

>>46549755
Wait, why not put that on your brithday? It's just next week.

>>46549755
Cool, he can release an album by the end of the year if he keeps up the pace

>>46549827
Maybe he has a different orisong prepared for his birthday. Who knows, maybe now he’s going to start pulling a watame/suisei/okayu and will release multiple orisongs this year for a future ep

Rikka might not have many viewers, but there were a lot of pink penlights in the audience during last live. He's got the concert audience

Endroll is still one of my favorite orisongs, shame mocopi can't track its choreo well.

>>46549755
Rikka... isn't this your fifth orisong?

>>46550385 (me)
Kek okay someone told him

https://youtu.be/JyM-LEdMx3s
So this means people took his 'no spamming' rule as 'Izuru hates EOPs'.

>>46550803
I've been seeing some Stars fan I follow sharing this clip. I guess the incident from the other day restarted the whole "Izuru hates EOPs" thing.

>>46551172
>the incident from the other day
Which one?

Majin love!

>>46550803
no...my shogun memes...what will i do now...

>>46551292
When Hakka raided him during his piano stream. They were just doing things EN fans do and starting spamming the chat, prompting chat to tell them to knock it off. It didn't last long, but since I don't follow many Tempus fans I don't know how they took the whole situation.

>>46551350

Asunana LOVE
their voices work so well together

>>46547755
From Rikka's stream, it seems like there's a plan for standardized celebration goods in the future (I suppose like Uproar's). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I assumed that since there's two celebrations yearly, seems like they will be in charge of one and the other one might be standardized? Will need better confirmation on this though.

Thank fuck we had this stream today. I’ve been needing some babumagadokide crumbs lately

>>46551474
>prompting chat to tell them to knock it off
Izuru said that he will say or do something himself if he gets annoyed with his chat. He doesn't need fan police so this is misbehavior regardless of what he thinks about spam.

Imagine

>>46552246
Yeah, the fans that started policing annoyed me too. Izuru saw that it was a raid and is aware about the difference in chat culture, if he was annoyed he would just have done what he has done before.

>>46552637
Izuru so mature...

>>46552493
I can't tell which is hotter, Oga picking up Fuma and using him like a onahole or Fuma getting ridden by Oga until his hips break and balls drained

>>46552493
Fuma making Oga submissive with his youkai powers.

>>46552739
fuma being forced to impale himself on hot majin cock until his legs give out, followed by majin using him like an onhaole to finish

>>46553520
He’s finalizing his marriage to mea…

https://twitter.com/VTuberFes_jp/status/1642859494974603267
Speaking of Roberu singing, I really hope the Stars are in the same part. I'm already suffering with the Uchigeki event, I don't really want to pay for artists I don't care about.

>>46551959
It does sound that way but he was quick to put more attention on the birthdays coming up, Im sure we will be hearing about it from more members soon.

>>46555126
Hoping so too, but they'll probably sell more tickets by having a few members on each group on different days. At least it means there will be more songs per person

>>46555126
That would be nice. Though for me, I'm also a fan of the some of the other artists like Hachi and Vesperbell so I'm most likely fucked.

That was an absolute fucking throw what the fuck was that Astel.

>>46556007
He heard the Wraith start up a Portal so it was basically a now or never push, since it was basically a 3v2 during that short interval. Too bad that the other two just weren't able to follow up.

>>46554717
Robe not half assing membership content is also a stretch

>>46557892
Wonder if he'll break his curse and actually perform on the real day

>>46551959
Excuse the doompost but I hope this doesn't mean they are cutting down the individual debut anniversaries to make it "fair" to Uproar. Fuck that would actually explain why Astel said he might not be able to celebrate his birthday the way he envisioned it until before. I am taking my meds now.

Tourist from /vspo/ here. Just wanted to ask what happened to izuru? I remember seeing a few clips of him and astel playing apex together back then but not anymore lately. Lost interest or smth?

>>46559648
point too big and he don't want to play with outsiders

>>46559648
valorant brainrot

>>46559648
In Valo hell. Playing in Twitch usually.
A reverse question to you ぷいanon, why the fuck is Ftyan there with Meika? First time I've seen him play during these customs.

>>46559648
Valorant brainrot and inkya autism, pls andstand

>>46559258

>>46559779
>>46559783
Thanks for the answer. pex do be dying outside of these events anyway. Just feeling a tad bit sad seeing only astel as the starsJP in here. And sorry but I don't really follow indies and niji to answer about Ftyan.

>>46555126
https://twitter.com/VTuberFes_jp/status/1636291221827248128
Aren't they separated like this?

>>46560046
We have StarsJPs with Rikka in Pakael's team and Gamma in Qpi's team. Not to mention the StarsEN team as well.

>>46560183
...Somehow escaped my mind. Sorry, I'm not alelu, I swear

>>46551671
Meika's team dropped on the Survey Camp and wiped Astel's team out early. That really caught me off guard

>>46560431
Anon, Ftyan is there. Search him up.

>>46560431
>>46560464
what a retard

>>46560528
Easy there they're friends

>>46560626
I know. still retarded

>>46560464
Woah just learned about him how'd he get here

>>46550803
Shogun...he likes me...

>>46561180
i need to rape Izuru

Meika apologized a lot, it was just a mistake. Good thing his team wasn't streaming and no one raided their chat

>>46561753
what

>>46561782
>>46560431

>>46561928
oh, it's that competitive zoning thing

>>46561782
They landed on the wrong landmark (Meika's mistake, he forgot what their original landmark was pon moment) and almost wiped all of them in Astel's team before the 1st ring even finished. It's all good now.

Qpi hatesex later

rare Mastiff actually dealing damage.
if they countinue winning this contests, they might get free dome in their rotations in game dame

>>46562077
Astel was missing way too much there but Runa was also fucking up kek

Ganchan is so quiet tonight.

HOLY FUCK ASTEL.

Champion!

Astel Asumi Ars champion!! 14 kills total!

>>46559258
I think it will be more about money than being fair. Mafia will be coming up soon so there will probably be a few more details then.

>>46562883
Astel also had 4k damage.

This game was very surprising, they actually took fights and pushes instead of coexisting with other teams and die off the rotation.

>>46562899
That's why I used the quotation marks. Fair as in the same resources for Uproar that happen to be less than before for OG9. There was an anon a few threads ago that seemingly tried to start doomposting about Uproar not getting 3D anniversaries and back then I thought the talents chose to not have a 3D stream by choice but Rio said in his aftertalk that they weren't given the choice so they had to come up with what to do for a 2D stream instead.

Qpi...

>>46563575
The sex...

>>46563410
Downsizing is real, and it's time to accept it. Holostars need to go out to grow. Sure Izuru, Oga and Miyabi are lost cause, but there's no reason for other members to not doing outside collabs

>>46563575
Qpi hatesex with Astel later

>>46563410
I understand now anon, my fault for not getting what you meant.

they're going to keep this up until tournament day aren't they...

>>46550803
>Check the source
>an unlisted 2 year old stream
anon, I dunno how I should feel about that when the source is so old. Did Izuru's feelings towards overseas fans change in the last 2 years?

>>46565184
No English comment allowed for the Shogun's chat

>Be me, an omaesan in 2020
>Find Oga so hot I want to fuck him
>Almost no porn or fanfics and the few existing drawings are of him fucking Shien
>Start using 4chan because I found one post describing how they wanted to fuck Oga too
>Start doing the same
>Pushing the idea so much more anons join me
>Time passes and I start finding more art of Oga getting railed
>Apparently Chinese and Japanese Omaesans are more into bottom Oga and their art is better
>Things come full circle when I saw some Twitter starmin complaining about how there's so little top Oga porn
I won in the end.

>>46565184
>>46565284
No misinformation! You scare the twitter starlights so much that they made several threads about it.

>>46565346
So you're the one who groomed me into liking bottom oga fuck you fuck you fuck you and fuck oga in the ass. I spent the whole of 2021 hornyposting about Oga getting railed and mind broken by dicks.

>>46565184
All of Shogun's 2019-2020 zatsudan streams are unlisted, he did so to clean up his channel, but they're still accessible from his playlists.

>>46565184
Nothing ever changed he just wants people to behave. No policing, no spamming, no requests, no chatting with other viewers. All he wants is for viewers to talk to him on eye level regardless of what language they speak.

>>46565184
The only difference is him putting "I only speak Japanese" in his description sometimes, but he responded to an English comment just a few days ago.

>>46565692
ASTEL TOWA GORILLA OFF STREAM ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

>Astel joined Towa and Gorilla
>No POVs

Astel in Qpi's chat asking if she's willing to spilt the dome in half, no dice though lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_4USsqwFkE
Astel asking to share the Dome in Qpi's stream. How many streams does he have open simultaneously?

>Astel wants to continue to play in custom
>end streams, join other team
>its fucking Towa and Gorilla team
wow theyre actually good friends offstream

>>46565788
>>46565816
>>46565849
Makes sense, thanks for the info.

We never had a proper vocal interaction between Astel and Towa on stream did we ?
The closest to that, that I can think of, is her asking him for more Tridents during Kureiji Arcade

Not sure since when, but Leo joined Altare and Axel and they're all speaking in English

>>46551391
Just make new memes anon. Say Perry opened up Izuru's bussy or something.

>>46565697
You want to write more hornyposts

>>46563410
The downsizing...we have to save them anons. I'm going to tell more people to watch my oshi.

don't you just hate it when he plays cock tease with you in all of his youtube thumbnails?
he knows exactly what he is doing.

>>46566413
You too anon I ain't seeing much hornyposting here from you.

>>46566413
NTA but UUOOHHH I want to imagine actually crushing Temmer's balls. His wincing and squirming, screaming through gritted teeth, the way he would look up at me with a mixture of spite and arousal, knowing he will probably rape me afterwards to get back at me for what I have done--but knowing deep down that it's all just a game in the end, he likes it when I do this to him, and he knows I will like it when he attacks me back.

>>46566485
Looking at history for other chuubas, what wil boost them is more clips and more fan content. Those are two things that can go viral and increase interest from the outside. If the management stops being retarded and actually utilizes the Holostar Shorts thing to the fullest (multiple times a week, actually funny jokes, etc) they can trend too.

>>46566535
He really does.

>>46567516
Sadly, Holostars collabs are tame and boring so clips would get no numbers.

>>46568344
This is why I hate astellas

Axel's team got 2nd, they did well

>>46568344

>>46568477
also in chat astel altare teetee

>>46565346
OG hornymaesan I kneel.
Thanks for helping create this bottom oga narrative. Not that it needed much help since dude was acting slutty on stream early on like doing low frequency massager streams, but still, without fans spreading the agenda there wouldn't be spicy material or horny brainworms.

>>46568543
If they're good, then where are the clips from all those yurustars collabs?

Finally going through Rikka's stream.
>birthday goods will be the same from now on for the members
>it's not clear if it's permanent but it's confirmed for birthdays this April
>Rikka doesn't regard it as a negative thing
>he asks for support in form of membership subscriptions and channel subscriptions
>his birthday will be the first one affected
>he was thinking about putting out a ring or another accessory to balance out his anniversary goods before the change
>he thinks the design and illustration for the goods turned out well anyways and asks for support
>they are allowed to release extra goods for reaching channel subscription benchmarks
>300k subs would be the next benchmark for Rikka
>goods are now once a year probably so there will be no goods in october (Rikka's anniversary month) as of now
>his goods this year will release on the 16th (his birthday celebration)
>he wanted to talk about it because he didn't want viewers to be shocked when it becomes apparent so he asked for an okay to talk about this
>anniversary celebrations itself will not disappear but it's up to the talent to celebrate it or not
>as of now Rikka wants to celebrate his upcoming anniversary but he will think about his concrete plans after his birthday
>Temma's birthday will be the next one affected
>anniversary streams are held because the talent wants to do so, after all there are talents that don't celebrate them, it has always been like that
>everyone's birthdates are different so the situation might be different for talents who were born in a different month
It's worse than I expected.

Comfy threads lately

>46568344
What should I call this anon, since they have been here for a while now? Boringbaitanon?

>>46569363
Both downsizing and numberfagging at the same time, benchmarks included. It's unironically over

>>46569488
Or instead you can prove me wrong and post yurustars collab clip that took off. There are a lot of yurustars collab so statistically there should be at least one clip that went viral if Holostars collabs aren't boring.

>>46569363
>crippling the merchandising, Stars' greatest source of income in order to focus on shit like memberships and channel subs
Holy fuck management is actually retarded

>>46569363
My rrat: after the IPO report, Cover saw how much they lose in merch revenue and want to copy Niji's copypasta goods. Mori's birthday is in a couple of days, so we can see if this applies to just Holostars or Holopro overall.

>>46569363
Joewari da...

>>46566413
I want to insert a sounding rod into Robechan while finger fucking his ass. I wanna hear his high pitched moans and whimpers, him begging me to stop. His arm is covering his eyes, struggling to stay still. I wanna leave small sucks and kisses down his shaft, his hips trembling. He tightens around my fingers as he cums dry, a scream escaping him. His body shakes as his orgasm overcomes him.

>>46569700
That's the single worst choice management has made. Worse than the StarKore
>"Hey I know, let's nerf Holostars best source of income and tell then to focus more on their least efficient Susan fucked sources of income"

>>46569700
>>46569866
Those are numbers that investors care about and investors money sadly a lot of more money compared to merchandise

>>46569431
IPO and management fucked us and now we can't afford to be comfy anymore. It's all noombers now...

>>46569987
Investors are retarded and don't care if they kill the branch as long as their line goes up. I knew the IPO thing was a bad idea for Holostars.

>>46569700
Who wants to bet these investors are know nothings who are just looking at Holostars thinking "why u no do hololive thing, why u no make money same way and speed as holos "

My oshi already talked about next year's april fool thing, so if he's not falling into despair and painting picture of doom over the changes in the company, I'm not either. I will keep supporting this guy no matter what.

>>46569708
>I hate Niji merch for lowering the bar and if this actually becomes the standard I will be furious

>>46570051
The talent can also gaming the system if membership numbers are so important, for example : disable superchat, enable gifting, enable and read membership milestone, archive for members only, delayed restream members only content for public, etc.

>>46569363
I knew it
they're trying to force the stars to pull numbers now

They shouldn't have gone public

>>46569866
No one really knows just how much they make from merch, since the production costs are unknown

>>46570543
Business, not charity

>>46570530
If they're gonna pull this shit, then we'll just have to fuckin play the game. Member gifts and raids all day. If they want numbers, then we'll give them their fuckin numbers.

>>46570525
>>I hate Niji
You had me there anon.

>>46570606
>Charity
Stars make money as-is, they aren't a charity case. Investors(and you, apparently) are just too retarded to see that and have their brains full of shit like ccv and sub counts.

>>46570802
>as-is
That's the keyword, Cover want growth. Even Holostars creation born from wanting to tap Male Idols audiences.

>>46570569
Astel said it helps him around as much as a superchat of the same worth. I figure the Cover cut is better with SCs though.

>>46570774
He said "Niji merch", anon. Fuck, no wonder even Miyabi said his was the last batch he would hand sign. I wasn't planning to buy his full set, but now I'm glad I did.

>>46570996
He's also repeated many times he especially wanted people to buy his soundtracks since there was no variable cost from selling one additional unit

>>46569708
one of the things I liked about the cover is how unique the merch is from one talent to another, but I guess since they went public, gotta lower cost and maximize profit now...

>>46570732
This is the right mentality. Finally. People /here/ doom without actually doing anything. People on the bird app stick their head in the sand and pretend everything is ok without actually doing anything. We need to actually DO something and get those numbers if we want the branch to thrive in the long term. We need to fight to the bitter end.

>>46571299
I always hated how Niji felt so cheap and mass produced so it's really going to suck if Cover copies that business model because that's what their investorfags want.

>>46569708
GDI, Holostars merch has been incredible far and it fucking sucks to lose that. Hell, I know nijifans who say "I wish we could do that." Is this why Miyabi said it would be his last hand-signed birthday merch? Fuck investors, fuck Cover. Are they pants-shittingly retarded enough to do it for the girls too? I know some Tempus members were stating their preference for practical merch, guess that's out the window. Bettel and Hakka have birthdays this month, fuck them too I guess.
>Temma's birthday is fucked
Fuck this shitty company, they can only do wrong

>>46570954
>"don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"
this kills the capitalist

>>46571500
>In the future only indies will have good merch
Fuck this timeline

>>46571500
>Are they pants-shittingly retarded enough to do it for the girls too?
Unironically yes and I will be suprised if that doesn't happen now

>>46571671
Hopefully they do, because if so, there's a possibility they'll get enough vocal outrage from fans that they'll realize that it's a shit idea

>>46571500
I am BEGGING Holostars to take the Argonavis Pill and break off from Cover Corp now. Maybe they could get back the unique merch and StarKore.

>>46571755
They won't care even if there is fan rage unless the line goes down. Going public, never once. If any anons /here/ start a business keep this in mind.

This is why Stars getting mingled more and more with Hololive was a bad thing btw, you can shit on the unicorns but the segregation also meant both were held to two different standards. Less money was spent on the Stars overall but that also made them profitable enough. Now the Stars need to perform Hololive numbers since Cover wants them to blow up.

>>46571825
anon, Argonavis still under Bushiroad

>>46571825
Holostars depends way too much on Cover for that to happen, without even mentioning the technological aspect of 2D and 3D models

>>46571911
This would have happened either way anon, as long as they were owned by Cover.

>>46571755
Men aren't buying can-badge scale armor, are they going to buy the same acrylic panel and can-badge for their oshi every year? No, they aren't (and I don't blame them) so this can only end badly. But >>46571825 is right and investors only care about pretty steep line lo g enough for them to sell.

>>46570997
Even the Nijifags hate Nijimerch, I have only ever seen them complain and wish for more unique merch or merch for less popular members. I've never seen a Nijifag say a good thing about their merch.

It sucks because I never had money to buy birthday merch, I was hoping to buy more once I get some but I guess I'm just gonna DIY my merch from now on...

>>46569363
This pretty much lines up with Astel's vague talk, right down to him wanting 300k subs. Damn.

>>46572529
I hope, at the very least I hope that cover is not stupid enough to cut out the entire star branch just because they don't meet arbitrary numeric goals

>>46572616
They won't go that far, unless something really bad happened. Profit is still profit

>>46570732
Unironically this. Anons /here/ should stop having to rely on the other fans to do all the work for them. Stop being lazy pieces of shit and take some initiative

>>46572616
If they shut down stars there's going to be riots that might actually significantly impact their other branches

So, what are you doing to get your oshi numbers?

>>46573178
Watching him and telling friends about Stars as a whole. I don't have money, and I don't have any artistic skills, so that's all I really can do.

>>46573178
Bottle of acid and a plane ticket

>>46573178
Gift memberships, upgrade membership tier

>>46573178
Membership gifting and use burner account and send ars red supa telling him to go outside

>>46573178
streaming their music on every platform i can, create clips, draw fanart, buy as much merch as possible. i don’t know how much more i can do for them except hope others do the same

>>46572616
>>46572616
They aren't stupid enough to do that because Holostars still makes profit, just not as much as their investor leeches want them to. Basically the only thing left to do is actually boost the numbers >>46570732
>>46571347
>>46572722
>>46573178
Or somehow convince the Holostars management that they will have more creative freedom leaving Cover and doing things their own way as a small indie group of male idols (this will not happen for several reasons).

I hope they're not going to clamp down on the content and try to make the stars just "girls but now it's da boyz"

>>46573178
Go through all his music covers and originals everyday and giving him roughly 50 views a day. Plus membership and purchase of all merch he releases

>>46573178
I'm going to try to make more fan content and upgrade my menshi if my oshi creates more tiers. If he doesn't I'm just going to gift menshis more often. I'm going to share more clips. And I'm going to stop worrying about whether or not someone thinks I'm a massive weeb and promote Holostars to them.

>>46573640
Some of them do need a bit of a kick in the ass on their content, but I'm doubtful management is smart enough to push them in the right direction instead of the shittiest direction possible.

>>46573640
That's already happened last year

>>46573178
The same things as before which is part of the problem, some anons here and the foreign fans already buyfag and create when they can theres just not enough people.

https://twitter.com/kanatooo_/status/1642713923936989185
cute uproar cosplay dancing to blessing

Honestly though what should izuru fans do? Watch valo everyday?

>>46574061
YES

>>46573178
Menshi, buy all merch, gift membership, cosplay and wearing my merch so people feel compelled to to ask

>>46574061
Izuru looks like he egosa a lot, so make a twitter post about what content you want to see him do?

You can't save the ones who are comfortable with their numbers and don't want to improve themselves though. Astel's content is the most i have enjoyed from him in a while even though it is a byproduct of cover numberfagging and forcing them to try harder. A lot of the top tier jp girls are greedy and always try to improve their content for numbers. You need to be a bit of a numberfag to be a good streamer.

>>46574061
I'll watch as much valo spam as it fucking takes

Glad to see Astel and Nana's cover do well. Bless her for having Astel do challenging covers

I don’t wanna numberfriend anymore… I wanna be happy…

>>46573861
There aren't enough people here. We need oldfags to start actively grooming people into newfags, it's the only way. The Stars relying on the same people to give them the same amount of support isn't going to cut it anymore.

>the one who will hit 300k first is the one who probably doesn't care to make milestone merch

Regulars can you wrangle your oshi?

I know this is absolutely nothing new for old fans but as someone who only started watching about a year, realizing Astel streamed most of the day is wild to me (RE4, Apex, collab w/ Nana, Apex again)

>>46574853
it's no longer a choice... it's a lifestyle change

>>46574853
>>46569993

>>46575067
Not only that, He also has to set a time rawdogging Niu and choke sexing Qpi at some part of the day! Crazy discipline!!

Here's a tip: start encouraging people who aren't already Starsfags to do things related to them. Commission fanart from artists who don't usually draw them. Some clippers do requests I think, request for them to clip your oshi. Submit Holostars clips or nominations to people who talk about vtubers or do vtuber related activities. I'm glad to see anons here in /stars/ and /mans/ making Holostars teams for /vt/ events for example. Show more initiative like that. Don't make thr algorithm do all the work of creating more exposure to the brand.

>>46576447
That reminds me, I want to see 8bitdrummer play along with the YATTA cover, thanks for that

>>46576144

>>46576575
I need this, how do you suggest him stuff?

The next thing I commissioned is Oga x Axel, I wanted to see the "rare" top Oga. I'll probably have Oga and Shinri with a double-ended dildo next.

>>46576993

scroll down on his page and there's a plugin, I think you have to link your account to it or something

I hope someone commissions Temma topping Altare

I hope they give the stars sub wish like jp's 1m subs wish to motivate the boys. I can trade that for standardize merch.

>>46577078
I hope someone commissions some non-porn art of them too...

>>46576447
If the merch changes are that drastic at least it frees up money for skeb, that is a good idea.

>>46577083
They do have that. Astel's wish for 1 million subs is to have a physical shop opened for his fat fuck merch.

>>46577053
Alright, I'll do that now, thanks!

Tbh the first and last time i numberfagged was when astel couldn’t join the apex tournament

>>46576447
>Commission fanart from artists
If you don’t have the money for art commissions, you can also look for artists who are taking drawing requests like those “ask me to draw 6/9 characters” challenges and ask them to draw your oshi

>1 week

>>46577132
Same. Non-porn commissions drum up more discussion and publicity.

>They aren’t a charity case
Do you think if HoloStars was a completely separate company they could pay for a 3D studio of their own? Do you think if they weren’t under Cover PSO would have put Shien in?
Just as 2 examples Stars gets significant benefits from being under the same umbrella company as Hololive.

>>46580095
I got the idea after seeing one JP buka go around requesting multiple artists to draw Shien for their chara drawing challenges

LOOK AT THEM
https://twitter.com/ga012410/status/1642849964157173760?s=20

So was this the thing Astel and Axel were doomposting about?

>>46581166
Based JP buka, I wish all JPniki were like that

>>46581133
They made it this far through their own efforts, fucker. The point is that they aren't a loss on their own. Yes, they enjoy the benefits of being part of a company; that's called being a part of a fucking company. And you know what, they certainly wouldn't have any of that if they hadn't worked their asses off to get as far as they are today, so fuck off with your "charity case".

>>46581359
Not sure about Axel, but Astel's 300k goal lines up with what Rikka said about not getting custom goods until 300k, so it most likely is.

With this plus the interview Yagoo gave before he started selling some of the companies stocks, even he doesn't seem to understand what to do with the guys, he's just treading water with it at this point, which is obvious with the recent weird forced inclusion stuff like we saw as the fes. He should try to think of an actual way to handle things instead of whatever this is.

>>46570732
Member gifts can't be given though for some who have high cost basic tiers like Astel, Izuru, Shien.

>>46581133
Anon the branch almost got shut down a lot time ago and they narrowly made it, actually do your reps or go back

>>46581886
Astel is fine, Shien will have to figure something else out, Izuru is Izuru.

>>46581886
You can always gift Izuru Twitch subscriptions.

>>46566135
>wow theyre actually good friends offstream
Do some reps, everyone knows this.

>>46581886
Sounds like Izuru is considering a lower tier from his sub twitter account post though.

I lurk in /#/ retard, I knew I could smell a rat in here trying to bait people and stir up drama, go back

>>46569708
Mori's good would have been in the works for months already, it'll be retarded to draw conclusions with just that.

Hi! Saw this thread got linked in a different one. I don't want to shit your thread up, just wanted to say that it seems like the girls have been told to get their membership number up too. Gura has recently been thanking gifted memberships and even advertised a upcoming members stream to them. She never did any of this before and it is very weird to do when she ignores SCs that come in around the same time. No idea if their merch is affected too, but Cover is so retarded that it wouldn't surprise me. I'm done with that shitty company, so whatever. I found a nice indie to watch instead. Hope things turn out well for you guys though.

>>46582393
Who are you talking to anon?

>>46582481
>Saw this thread got linked in a different one
Which one, /#/? /ggg/?

So other shit aside since people are starting to fight and accuse each other of shit, how does everyone think the guys will do in Vsaikyo? Astel's team is probably going to do better than all the others obviously but how well do you think the other guys will do in respect to one another?

>>46582996
This thread >>46580161
this post >>46580390
Just happened to see it in the catalog.

>>46583013
There’s been other fights aside from the “Hayun kicking Laeria out of his team” thing?
Also I think Pakael’s got a pretty stable team this time around. Hopefully he doesn’t choke again this season

>>46583013
I'm actually feeling the Rikka/Paka/Leo teem for my top team for the lads.

Someone made an april fools compilation
https://youtu.be/x9CNzXeg3ig

>>46583109
I was referring to anons fighting one another, figured I'd try talking about something else to curb the shitflinging.

>>46583013
>Astel's team will do the best
Astel's team will do the worst.

>>46583350
I see. I thought for sure there was more Vsaikyo-related drama after the whole thing with Laeria and Hal lowkey telling her via akasupa to shut the fuck up in her privated/deleted stream

>>46583013
I'm rooting for the Old Man, Pakael and Leo. I think him going from last place in the 1st Vsaikyo to winning this one would be pretty cool, especially since it's on his birthday.

>>46583365
If Astel's in it I have faith.
>>46583424
Only other thing I can think of is those Nijis not knowing who Ganma was, but that wasn't really that dramatic except for the shit translation that made them look bad.
>>46583499
>him going from last place in the 1st Vsaikyo to winning this one would be pretty cool
Kino

>>46582481
>No idea if their merch is affected too, but Cover is so retarded that it wouldn't surprise me
From the looks of things it isnt especially on the jp side and will probably have an increase of seasonal merch for all of the female branches

>>46574061
As much as I love my oshi and think investors should be publicly executed, I can't bring myself to watch another minute of his average silent valo gameplay. I'd post tweets like "izuru playing X and Y games would be neat to watch" in his general tag but he doesn't like being told what to do and has already asked us directly what do we want to see from him to then immediately return to the same routine. The only thing I'm doing at the moment is not watching nor retweeting his twitch stream announcements even if I already know he'd happily spam that kusoge to an audience of 0.

>>46583718
>from the looks of things it isn't especially on the jp side
where the fuck did that come from, because I'm seeing people already talking about signs of merch standardization all around

>>46583886
Did any of the other girls hint at their merch also being standardized?

>>46583980
Sounds like people are talking about Flare's birthday merch as a sign

>>46583886
probably from flare getting more merch on top of her regular merch

>>46584237
Qrd on this one?

>>46584237
Should I be relieved that they are doomposting more than just shitting on Stars? I'm worried about the future but that thread is better than I expected.

>>46584639
people in that thread always knew that the ipo would be the death sentence for stars which is why there are people who didnt think it was possible and there were some that wanted it because of that but everyone there is in unison that the future of stars is very grim with the ipo

Remembering that some anons were talking about how artists don't draw straight porn of the guys because it leads to shipping if they draw them with the girls they collab with
Why don't they just draw them with fictional characters, like the girls in games they think are hot instead? That would work too wouldn't it?

>>46585664
That sounds good desu

>>46585664
Why not just do faceless or generic females/yumejos

>>46585664
Anon you just have to accept most Star artists don't draw het cause they aren't interested in women. It's that simple.

>>46586061
Counterargument: they draw lewd genderswapped art sometimes (Tenko, Ouka, Ganko, etc) so they aren't inherently against drawing women.

>>46539532
Uproar gen 2 when?

>>46586061
It was more like a random thought I had doing other stuff in the day, not really something I was that invested in. I was more thinking along the lines of the anons who were saying there are people who WOULD draw it but don't for those reasons. Just a thought.

As someone who’s been around since the early days of hololive. The absolute best things you can do for exposure is create good fan content.
Fanart, memes, and most of all clips. Make short clips that are quick and easy to get peoples attention.
Fan content which is rampant in holostars fandom but does ABSOLUTELY nothing to help your oshi:
>porn, and not just because it’s hidden /here/ or in locked Twitter accounts, but because you can’t share it
>handmade cutesy yume goods, unless you’re in a physical space like a con or a live, useless as online fan content
>not leaving a comment after watching something but just chatting here or in discord - LEAVE A COMMENT
A lot of this is the way people have fun and it’s totally fine, the most important thing is to have fun and consume things how you want to, but if you really want to help as a fan and show support, you need to be proactive and not passive, and actually make stuff that isn’t just in fangirl mode. Ie make animations, art, videos and clips. If you’re a translator or want to summarise info about your oshi, make it available to the public instead of on discord or /here/

>>46586521
>LEAVE A COMMENT
Out of curiosity, does it have to be a comment, or do likes on things like clips and such suffice?

>>46586521
Based, thanks for your contribution anon. I agree that a lot of things about the Stars fanbase is too private and insular and that it passively debuffs growth. If I could translate I definitely would.

>>46586521
Starsfags don't meme enough and it's a damn shame. Make some fucking memes anons, make a million memes. Never underestimate meme magic.
