I want to suck her Towa.

Ive been thinking about making some bibi patches. They would be 77mm x 47mm or 3x2inches. Id like to distribute them to members but idk what would be the best way to make that happen or how much would the postage would be... Post some good designs you would like to have and ill see what I can do.

Towasamalove...

>>4998702
A few people have made some before and posted them on TOWART, I always thought this one was cute.

https://youtu.be/TzcPLH4FNsM?t=11978
Marine and Towa talked about wanting to do OW together, the only other person they could think of in hololive that might want to play was Amelia, but they were worried if they would be able to play properly with the language barrier. Marine said since most of the communication in OW is just simple callouts, it might work fine if they do it in English, but they would have to focus more on their pronunciation to make sure Amelia can understand.

>>4999059
Marine and Towa collabs are fun.

>>4998803
I was thinking of something like this, maybe its a waste to make something so simple?

I love Towa, I hope she has a good day and spends good time with the people she loves

>>4999059
Honestly, Amelia is probably the least restricted by language barrier considering her Apex collabs with Roboco and Mel. She already has experience dealing with that issue.

>>4999472
I expected Amelia would be the first Twap collabs with.

I miss Towa...

>>5001433
She misses you too

>>4999059
Marine plays OW?

I haven't watched the tourney yet, how was it?

>>5003130
Apparently, it's the first time I've heard her talk about it but it seems like she used to play quite a bit of it.

>>5003160
They tried their best and had fun.

>>4999059
how hard is it to say I need healing or ult?
OW is the babby mode of teamwork games.

>>5003160
They spent about as much time trolling as they did playing the game. It was great, especially the afterparty.

I wonder if we're still getting the Yumekyawa collab this month, given the circumstances.

>>5003220
I heard Amelia can get a bit worked up, might be funny to see with Towa.

>>5003831
if both of them go toxic in their respective language it would be kino.

>>5003421

>>5003831
ame in collabs is very nice, its only with strangers she goes full gamer

>>5004526

If you are making a bibi patch, I suggest making a rounder version that makes it better fit for velcro patches.

I wish Twap was doing the advertisement with Leona too...

>>5006051
For the chips? It might still be possible, I saw some people say Watame talked about it on stream and said it would be with Towa, but I haven't actually found where she talked about it. It's possible other people might be there as well.

>lured in by hornyposting, decide to check out Towa
>click most popular song
>dude starts to sing, oh I didn't realize it was a duet...
now look I'm not saying shes a man I'm sure shes a biological female she just SOUNDS like a tranny with a falsetto when she talks. But given that a chuba basically just has her voice and personality I see this as a major debuff.

Oh and before you say I'm some kind of philistine that only likes squeeky loli voices I should mention that I really like for example Okayus husky voice and Subarus voice while rough is clearly feminine and has an appealing character on the contrary I find Lunas screeching unbearable. So clearly its not just that Towas voice is deep it has a distinct masculine quality that I find extremely off-putting.

ToaW threads really are menhera. Bouncing between undying love, hate and horny posting on daily basis.

This is why Towa is great, because she filters out the people who are looking for low-investment chuubas and retains a core of loyal fans who actually bothered to appreciate her. Anyone that can bothers to spend time watching her would quickly realize how her potential for gap moe is limitless, like how despite her "masculine" voice and tomboyish design, she's one of the most girly of all hololive. Or how despite how she gives off a cool impression up front, she's a massive, massive dork. And how despite being a tough cookie and not taking shit from haters, antis, and other vermin, she gets along with almost everyone and has many beloved friends.
The only con is that this means she has us by the balls, like by mindbreaking the kenzoku into loving Apex. But that's a sacrifice that I am willing to make.

If you wanted to, you could hit up the /k/ patch thread for advice. You might be able to get one of the established sellers to sell a design if it interests them.

Probably the most dedicated fans and one of the comfiest threads. No dumb rrats and a welcoming atmosphere to Towa's friends and new viewers.
Keep it up.

>>5006824
>>5009085
I truely fear for the worst for this thread if Twap pulls a hiatus like Haachama,Shion or Ayame

>>5009726
Unless something really serious happens, I can't really imagine her taking any extended hiatus.
She knows her limits and will take breaks if she needs them in order to not burn out. Hell, even with the Towanwan situation, she only ended up taking a few days off in the end. I think it would have to be something very very serious for her to take any extended break.

Matching BGM... Tokonose...

>>5011877
Towa loves fat cats

>>5011349
That period really was almost a "worst case scenario", she was at her breaking point and it was caused by something that was out of her control (management). I'm glad she managed to solve that, she seems really happy with her current manager.
Though even that wasn't really that long of a break, all things considered. It was around 3 weeks without any solo streams if I remember correctly, but there were a few collabs spaced in between.
Haato/Shion/Ayame have been fairly inactive for months at this point. They stream every once in awhile, but not with any kind of regularity. Miko was gone for almost 3 months without any streams, Mio for over a month.
It definitely could be worse.

>>5010850
We've all been in doomposting mode but the fact is that we've seen Towa at her absolute lows and she always bounces back stronger than ever. Even when she thought of quitting after the yab and was the runt of yonkisei for months while her genmates were in the midst of the big vtuber breakout. There was also her fear of collabs, which was only resolved thanks to the efforts of a certain 5ch shitposter that dragged her out of solitude and introduced her to one of the filthiest NEETs in the world. Even when said 5ch shitposter got busted and banished to the depths of hell, Towa persevered even though she wasn't even allowed to grieve the loss of her best friend. This is the latest blow to Towa, but she's not alone anymore like she was in the past. She has a support network now, and she's not the defenseless cinnamon roll she used to be. If anything, people are looking to her now and she's never been one to shrink away from the spotlight.

>>5010850
If it helps if you're willing to believe it Kanata got on Twitter and said she's been talking with Haato and it's just a break.
https://twitter.com/amanekanatach/status/1403729072136482819

>>5013094
Kanata's really been a godsend this week. I know she's had the most time of anyone to come to terms and Coco probably relied on her to be as levelheaded as possible through this whole process, but she's really done an amazing job and this Chama thing is just icing on the cake.

>>5013094
I wonder if Towa even knew about this during the stream today, it seems like it caught other members off guard, so I doubt all of them were informed like they were for Coco.

>>5013520
Taking breaks without a set return date is normal for Chammers though. Everyone just freaked out because it coincided with Coco's graduation.

>>5013520
If I recall correctly, back during the suspension Haato and Towa spoke a lot behind the scenes.

>>5013711
Twap was always online for Haachama.

>>5013039
Someone has been posting previous year's archives from the current date in the /jp/ thread recently, today there was a TOKONOKI Apex archive linked. Watching it was so bittersweet, they both seemed so happy and carefree.
I wonder how things would be different if Sio was still around.

Sio did nothing wrong.
There's a timeline where she's still around and Aloe never quit and they both collabed tons with Towa...

>>5014709
Anon... that's the timeline when Towa graduated after her yab...

>>5013711
Haachama will now wake up to Towa's emoji spam

>>5043719
Hope she will be back soon

So, towa master when

>>5044801
kinda want her to stream it but the snipers......

>>5044801
Never, Matsuri just killed every chance she had of ever being invited to another Apex tournament that uses your season rank to base your points off. Nobody is going to spend the point of a Master on a player that is barely above Platinum at best.

>>5044801
nah she can easily get master with her pro friend carry yet she didn't do it for this long

>>5044801
It really seems like Towa plays apex ranked alone to take her mind off things when not working. She could get boosted by her pro friends but doesn't.

>>5044995
Big brain twap

>>5044995
Matsuri will still get invited, her and Towa are both mainstays of the causal apex tournament scene now , but it will make her teams less strong. Matsuri is now worth more point than Chi.

>>5045992
In that case, she's going to tilt out of existence because her team mates won't be able to carry her anymore.

>>>/jp/35215829
Didn't expect the sales of her merch was pretty high. I guess the practicality of the Bibi cushion works out well.

>>5046600
bibi cushion or plushie was something a lot of people wanted, probably the second most requested after the bibi cap itself, fat fuck love

Reminder Towa is a good girl

>>5046600
This is one of the reasons I think she's unlikely to leave hololive to be honest, she has the opportunity to make a lot of money. I'm not saying she's greedy or anything, but she's hyper aware of the value of money because she comes from a family that wasn't really well off, she's talked on stream before about working 2 jobs and also having to pay her own schooling fees while working. That combined with the fact she's talked about how much she hated some of the previous jobs, I think she understands how big of an opportunity being in hololive is. Whenever she talks about money, it's obvious that it's a topic she takes really serious, both for herself and for kenzoku (always tells people not to overdo it with superchats). She also said she hardly spends any of her money, and just saves all of it.

>>5047181
>Whenever she talks about money, it's obvious that it's a topic she takes really serious

look at her apex gacha skin, well yeah ...

You need to take care of your body, Twap...

>>5048191
I will give a massage to Towa, it's of upmost importance

Post towa baby

Something I've been thinking about is how when Towa took a break with a dispute with management last October, I wonder if it was them refusing to let her participate in the Apex tournaments because of men. If you think about it in the context of Coco feeling blocked by management as a result of the incident, it might be that Towa was also blocked from collabing with "males" because of the male voice yab when she first started. I remember it was a bit of a stepwise function to get to where we are today, as the first tournament she was in was an all-girls team, and she was forced into an all-girl team during the afterparty. Then the second tournament she had Wokka but "there would be a manager in the voice chat," and then that was the last we heard of any of that and now Towa is pretty much uninhibited and was even able to do the commentary on ALGS as the only girl on stage.
Perhaps the real damage of yabs is not the actual yab itself but how management responds to it.

>>5048603
I guess it's possible, but we'll never really know. I kind of doubt it was one single thing, the way she described it sounded like she had been having various issues with how management was doing it's job for awhile, and the point where she took her break was pretty much her just being done with it.
When she came back and explained the situation, she said it still wasn't actually completely solved, but a little while after that she ended up getting a new manager which seems to have solved a lot of the issues she had with management (she said her current manager is a really good match for her just a little while ago in her Minecraft zatsudan stream).

>>5048603
Towa really been butting heads against management or at least has no problem just voicing her problems with them, other than that who knows what other projects she'll tell us that management has denied her, other holos have had this problem for a while already and I don't want to see her getting so frustrated that she loses motivation to stream because she can't do the things she wants

Non-consensual sex Towa

>>5048795
I hope her new manager lets her herbarium stream again.

>>5045589
remember valentine thread?? Everyone panic when Towa not streaming that day and Towanwan is dying. Playing Apex alone probably is her own way to calm herself and clear her mind

goofy towa tweets makes me smile

>>5046600
Assuming this is her only merch sales (which is isn't given a mix of new geekjack website, older goods, etc.), we can do a bit of calculating. If the revenue line is $418,230, and you figure something like a 40% margin for Cover side, that's $167,328. We know that holos tend to get a bigger share on merch than on superchats, and we know that roughly 30% of superchats go to the talents. If we say the talent gets 50% of merch, that means her pre-tax income is around $84k from merch alone this year so far.

Playboard says her superchat income is around $457.5k to date, of which $290k came in 2020. So her 2021 superchats to date are around $167.5k, and assuming she gets 30% of that, her pre-tax is $50.25k. If we assume she has around 1000 members, that's another $30k of membership dues which might imply around another $10k of revenue to her. Let's assume that Palette broke even and that she gets no ad revenue from videos either.

So her pre-tax income comes out to around $145k. This would put her in the top 5% of household incomes in Japan. On top of that she's presumably in the younger part of the demographics curve, which makes roughly half of what people over 50 make, and she's a female who make something like 80% of what men make. Towa might very well be one of the highest earners in Japan.

>>5049603
Towa is powerful.

>>5049603
Jesus if Towa makes that much, imagine what the top holos like Coco, Rushia, and Pekora make on merch.

https://twitter.com/7216_2nd/status/1404118243594276867 is this a subtweet aimed at Towa? Towa's highest rank is Diamond 3

>>5049603
All me
And proud of it. I love Towa

>>5050736
Matsuri got carried to master and now she thinks she's hot shit.

>>5050736
could be, whatever all i care is what towa want

>>5050736
She got to master and now shes complaining that Towa cost's less points? lol?

>>5050736
Even if, Towa undeniably likes playing APEX, but I never got the impression that she likes grinding rank, and mostly plays for fun.

>>5049603
Debiru is growing stronger.

>>5050736
My reference for a Master rank player is Bora and Towa is not that. She can "get to" that rank, but beyond personal satisfaction there's hardly a reason to.

>>5049934
I forgot to add that these numbers only apply year to date. If she can continue the trend, her annual pre-tax will be around $300k. At that tax bracket level her effective tax will be just under a third, so her take-home is around $200k. That would put her firmly in the top 1% income bracket.

I never really appreciated the scale of the kind of opportunity hololive presented until now. Especially for a part-time sushi chef working two jobs that probably made a 10th of what she makes now... Towa...

>>5046600
I can safely assume that Towa's loyal fanbase has 25% overseas influence, heck, it might be even more since OP states it is only from the old site. I'm guessing it is around 30-35%.
Isn't that is quite an amazing number? For something like Japanese Idol merch, Towa is breaking the fucking barrier. Cover didn't need to do shit to introduce these products to overseas (and its pricing), because Towa is universally liked.
I don't even think Anime merch collectible, or any Japanese media would have that much of gaijin marketshare, probably sitting high up there with Tokusatsu genre. We're not talking about average consumer that only tuned in for the streams throwing SCs or memberships, its these dedicated fans looking forward for merchandise means a lot to gauge the market.

>>5051252
Yeah, Matsuri is kind of being retarded with that tweet.
The fact she even has to specify they probably wouldn't be able to do it solo is the problem, that means you're not actually Master rank, you just got carried.
There's literally no upside to doing that besides bragging rights, and even then it's kind of sad because everyone knows you just got carried.

>>5051252
There is one very good reason to aspire for higher rank. To impress Towa

im curious does apex have separate solorank and partyrank the only online game i played that has ranking is dota2.

>>5052026
This is the only correct answer.

>>5052089
it only has your rank, it goes up the same as solo and as a group, just that with a party you can get carried coordinate and plan better for fights

>>5052089
No, your Apex rank is shared across both solos and party. Which leads to incredibly disengenuous claims about rank. Every game with a ladder should have separate ladders for solo and party play.

Towa's rank should be no problem so far, we know she's not the best player but her shine is learning fast and adapting, having someone who can quickly learn a legend for a tournament has its value she just needs someone who's good at making calls and proper scrims where she can get used to playing a character in a competitive manner

>>5052089
No, both solo and party have the same ranking. AFAIK, only Dota and LoL bothers doing that shit because stacking is unfun as hell. Which is also why its pretty rare to find solo queue warlords that get to Predator by himself. The ones you see on Twitch, TSM trio, nips, Sweet, they all play in stack. Real OG like Shiv still struggles climbing to Masters by himself because of how unbalanced premades are at top level of play.

Apex has SBMM for casual play which nobody knows how it works.

>>5052774
Towa has the best teamplay, synergy, and quick thinking skills in Hololive even she isn't the best player mechanically speaking. I would much rather have Towa on my team than Minato "what the fuck is a teammate?" Aqua.

>>5052194
>>5052367
>>5052857
wow sound like a really terrible ranking system desu glad i didn't decide to play the game, still i do love watching towa apex though both normal and tournament arc.

>>5053271
Ranked in every game is terrible, it sucks the fun right out of it. Separate ladders really only serves to weed out the braggarts who get hard carried by their friends. Apex on its own is a great game.

>>5050736
maybe she mean this ?https://twitter.com/ksksdbdb/status/1404079833517203457
let just not stir up shit between holomem they seem like a good friend too.

>>5051348
That's also only using public figures we can estimate about. They also get some kind of salary, and they have sponsorship deals (Captore for Towa recently), and I'm sure she got paid for hosting ALGS and their weekly game show that's going on now. She's definitely making good money.

Towa please stream...

>>5056056
Before the thread turns menhera again...

>>5056056

>>5013520
There is a mistake in your math. Holos get 35% of supas if you count it from the net "sales" that are tracked on playboard, before YouTube takes its cut. If you only consider the amount that Cover actually receives from YouTube, then it's a 50/50 split.
So in your example for merch, if girls indeed get bigger cut from merch, say 70/30, it would be 0.7*163328=114330.

>>5050736
What do you mean "aimed at"? She just says that if you(Towa) can get D3 solo, then you(Towa) definitely can grind Master, especially in party, but it might not be worth it because it significantly inflates your tournament points. It is just a comment on this topic that seems to align with what Towa is thinking.

>>5058457
Oops, yes.

>>5058367
I think rather than math we are talking more just about interpretation of what the statement "get more money from merch than from superchats" means. If it's in the context of how much the talent and Cover split, then you'd be correct. If we're talking just raw % of overall numbers, then I'd be correct. I was just using round numbers because I'm lazy but if anything I was being pretty conservative with my estimate.

>>5058687
She's not acknowledging that it's not worth it, she's wondering if that is the reason that "this person" is avoiding ranking up to master. It's a backhanded rhetorical question.

>>5058687
The implication is this person is not ranking to master for the reason of purposely deflating their points value for tournaments.

>>5058687
Master(premade) =/= D3 solo
It would be impossible before S6, where diamond will face preds in the same lobby, you need to fight against monsters to actually climb to Masters.
Today's Diamond lobby is babby mode, full stacking will guarantee you wins. Solo-queueing Diamond is practically suicide, since you're rolling your RNG to get good teammates. In S7 you can just spam Bloodhound scan and get assists, not this season. So no, there is no reason to get Masters unless you no longer want to play ranked. Because Masters is full of premade sweats and you no longer have diamond players to bully.
Apex ranking distribution isn't helping either, it's full of systems that keeps Diamond players guessing their actual performance so everyone feels good about themselves. And the predator RP ranking system that strokes the ego of the top 1%.

I've always wondered, is towa a good apex player? I mean, is she below or above average, or she is that average player? I don't play apex, but these tournaments have so many good players that it makes her look like a weak one even for me. Still love towapex tho.

>>5060513
she's well above average, just that in those tournaments there's people who dedicate more time to it and actual pros, retired pros and semi pros in them

>>5060513
Towa is better than your average player. I would pin her at mid diamond mechanically. Her real value comes from being able to work well as a team and follow instructions from better players, which is how you win tournament games.

>>5060604
this and there is also a reason why CR gives -points from female players

>>5060513
Above average, her main problem is her mental capabilities, she chokes under pressure.

>>5060656
No, Towa is way more capable than your average person in specific high pressure isolated incidents. But she tilts very easily and takes a lot of the blame for losses on herself which causes her to make mistakes when the stakes are high.

>>5060604
>>5060623
>>5060656
I see, thanks

>>5060728
Agreed. Someone like Nose is much more vulnerable to high pressure situations, although she's gotten better at it lately (amusingly enough, that arc seems to have started with Towa and VORUTO).

https://twitter.com/tokoyamitowa/status/1404179288560082946
Towa's body is slowly failing...

>>5062219
it's not happening very slowly...
i guess extreme stress will do that to you

>>5060656
Yeah, she does choke under pressure sometimes, but the way she recovers from those chokes show her mental strength. Her decision making has been getting better too. She needs to play more with set teams and on stream to help toughen her up too imo. But maybe this is the amount of effort she wants to put in to apex at the moment.

>>5062219
Twap doesn't no how to rest properly...
Mama save her...

>>5062455
To be fair she doesn't really want to stream any more apex than she already does because she knows a lot of people don't like it.
Plus there are a ton of stream snipers every time she plays anything other than customs.

>>5058808
I mean, yeah, but this sentence
>We know that holos tend to get a bigger share on merch than on superchats, and we know that roughly 30% of superchats go to the talents. If we say the talent gets 50% of merch, that means her pre-tax income is around $84k from merch alone this year so far.
is not adding up. When you say that 35% (it's not 30 btw) of superchat goes to talent, you talk about percentage of gross donation numbers, when you talk about 50% of merch sales, you talk about percentage from Cover's margin on it. You compare two very different percentages, and that's incorrect.
>We know that holos tend to get a bigger share on merch than on superchats
If "share" here implies split of the net income between the company and the talent, then 50% for merch is low, because it is the percentage for superchat, but you say it must be bigger than that. If "share" means their piece from gross merch sales, than it is too low, because with the assumption of 40% to be Cover's margin, it means that talent gets 20% of the gross sales, which again contradicts with your thesis about higher cut from merch than from superchat.
In the end, you are still getting correct answer in terms of what gives Towa more money, but you are calculating it wrong and there's a probability that you can come to a different conclusion if you take someone's else superchat an merch sales.

Thanks for coming to my HoloMeth talk.

*boots up APEX*

Twappi have you even slept in the last two days...

>>5063880
Twi...

>>5064205
Towa should get that Red Bull endorsement.

>>5063880
I wonder if she's trying to get to daiya after seeing Matsuri's tweet...

>>5064921
I doubt she cares about the tweet, but she probably does want to hit Diamond again before the split ends.

>>5064921
>7193 RP
Towa...

>>5065007
At the very least maybe she wants to catch up to Nose who hit daiya just recently.

>>5065304
I think that's still overthinking it. She's hit dia in every season in recent memory, so she wants to do it again before the split ends. I don't think it involves comparing herself to anyone at all.

gratz toi!

>>5065723
TOWASAMAWIN!
Now please go to bed.

>>5057412

>>5065723
Tell me anon, is she still spamming gibraltar for pubs?

>>5065872
She's playing Wraith today, she does sometimes use Gib off stream still though.

Towa will stream.
Tomorrow...

>>5007656
i had to install and play apex for a few weeks just so i could understand her streams. unfortunately i have a crappy rig so i didnt get addicted.

>>5066193
i just wanna stop being sad

>>5069880
Towa harmonizes with all her friends!

>>5060513
better than someone who got carried to masters by pro players smurfing on their diamond accounts that's for sure

Missing Twap...

I miss this debiru.

Don't you go menhera on me thread
BELIEVE IN TWAP
BELIEVE

>>5073327
Towa thread is not a remote controlled car! Don't tell me what to do!

>>5073327
I can believe in her while also missing her.
I hope she actually went to bed after hitting dia.

I kind of hope Towa gets into the habit of advertising streams a little ahead of time again someday.

Towa...!

Twap's ads...

5 million Twaps...

I wonder what Toi was doing with Suzy.

now post the knife version.

>>5080931
What are you expecting, a guerilla collab? Coco's pretty busy right now herself between all her collabs and preparing for her live.
They will have time together before the end.

https://twitter.com/tokoyamitowa/status/1404422053990522883

>>5083583
Towa...

The Towa thread on 5ch is imploding even more than this one...

>>5083760
Do I want to know?

>>5083583
Now I can sleep without any worries for missing a stream.

>>5083760
Rrats or related to her twitter?

Towasamacry...

Towa has collabs coming up so I hope she feels better for them.

>>5083849
Just people either complaining that she hasn't done a solo stream for a few days or telling each other that if they don't like it they can fuck off. Really no different than you see here every now and then, seems pretty harmless.

Towa's sexy glowing eyes...

I don't think Towa will feel better for a while.

>>5084135

>>5084080
I expected it to be like this honestly. It's why I've committed to menhera posting less than usual for the next couple months.
I do really miss her solo streams though. As much as I like collabs, I really like chill Towa streams too.

>>5084210
It can't really be helped.

with all that's going on I can understand, we can only wish her the best for now

>>5084210
As bad as it may seem sometimes I think this week just puts it in perspective that it could always be worse. And I could already imagine that if she tried to do a solo stream while she was unhappy that everybody would go even more crazy.

>>5084080
Like a mirror.
Through menhera, unity.

I mean to put it in perspective the Sio anti-thread is more active everyday than most Holo threads so I wouldn't be bothered by anything that you read on 5ch.

>>5084281
imagine the rrats

>>5084709
ogey?

Can a friend provide Towa's cover of "Planet Loop" from her 3D debut in the highest quality mp4 video you can possibly get and provide a download link? no, i cannot rip youtube videos myself. because of reasons my computer can't use youtube download programs.

1:09 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlemRwXYWHg

i want to make something

>>5085165
and yes it has to be mp4 format and with sound. and i would ask anyone willing to do this for me to *not* to rip one of the reuploaded clips of this song from other channels.

>>5085165
Download jdownloader or use any number of online rip sites.

>>5085308
if i could do it myself i wouldn't be asking the thread for help.

>>5085349
You are capable of downloading a program and copypasting a link to it.

>>5085619

>>5085165
>because of reasons my computer can't use youtube download programs.

>>5085349
didn't you ask for this some threads ago?
maybe kenzokus here aren't the most tech savvy so I would try going for a different board like /g/ or /t/ there's more experienced people there and can solve the specific problem with your computer not being able to download stuff or rip the video clip themselves

>>5085982
jesus christ i'm not here for tech support i just want a goddamn mp4 clip download of that towa cover

Kenzoku I kneel

>>5085687
And what reasons would those be? Underaged b& on family computer or hoping to be spoonfed?

>>5086146
no those aren't the reasons, stop trying to derail the towa thread. i just want the towa song in mp4. if you cannot help then that's okay but you don't have to try and derail the thread like you are doing.

>>5086346
You have already been provided tools to help yourself.

>>5086346
>>5086716
both of you stop shitting up the nice thread
https://files.catbox.moe/rvpufj.mp4
that's the best you're gonna get, now scram

>>5086953
did you download that from the source?

>>5086953
>Spoonfeeding retards

>>5087566
No because I don't have time to do any editing. If you want people to put in the work for free you need to show results.

>>5087743
okay thanks. i was going to make something for the thread but oh well.

some people have spoken of some yabs that happened with Towa back in the day, what were they?

>>5088042
they're really fucking bad. they made all towa fans the laughing stock of like the entire fandom. those who remember it are still laughing at towa fans.

>>5088042
She took a break in the middle of an Apex endurance stream and somehow accidentally joined a Discord voice channel with her real life friends in it, they were heard on stream and then she tried to cover it up by saying it was management.
Of course people managed to figure out who the voices were, so she had to make an apology stream for the situation, and went on a week break afterwards.
There's a lot of aspects to this, most people in the English Vtuber scene thought the issue was about having a male voice on stream, ie: idolfags freaking out that she was interacting with men, so she got a bunch of Western saviorfags from it, but most people on the Japanese side of things were actually more upset about who the people actually were and what they were doing, people thought she was cheating in Apex by having them ghost her stream so she could finish the endurance stream faster. There were also a lot of people who thought she was just unprofessional in general, a little while before this incident there was another incident where she was doing on off collab with Coco and she accidentally turned on her webcam on stream. It wasn't actually pointed at them, so it didn't show anything, but it could have been really really bad for both of them.

>>5087793
ogey

>>5087793
fuck you. no seriously, fuck you. i fucking hate people like you shitting up these threads with requests for shit. if you want something, either do it yourself or pay up. this isn't the place to ask for help or request Towa things you fucking retard. give me a fucking break. like >>5087743 said, either do it yourself, pay us, or fuck off.

>>5088295
her boyfriends' voices were heard on stream in her room

Towa we miss you...
at least that's a nice video of her dancing, opening her 3D with a dance like that was great and with how much she loves dancing it really felt emotional to me

>>5088706
>boyfriends

uh, several?

>>5088834
She went on a Christmas date with somebody eating pancakes...

>>5088915
>Christmas date
Still one of the funniest streams Towa's ever done.

>>5088834
All me

>>5088834
i counted two male voices in her room when she left her mic on, but yeah.

>>5088915
didn't hear about that one. was she one of the girls who were not streaming during the christmas night of sex?

Suddenly the ip count rises

>>5088834
All me.

Apparently Towa and Bora briefly showed up in Selly's twitch chat earlier today... I'm glad that they had a moment back together at least...

Towa...!

>>5089019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDQl5UjF9lU

>>5089167
didn't even know Towa had a Twitch account, too bad there won't be a yumekawa stream anytime soon due to Bora going on hiatus but seeing them still talking with each other is cute

>>5088706
holy shit...

>>5088436
a discord voice channel? seems like a convenient lie, but hey if it works

wow, probably the first time seeing that shit.

>>5089551
She said it was on the 15th, which is technically today (in JST).

>>5089578
>which is technically today
oh nonono

>>5089457
holy shit. no wonder she lost so many supporters

>>5089578
More It takes two?

>>5089724
Probably, she didn't say what it was.

>>5089724
could be Minecraft, the usaken thing getting closer and botan been building a lot

>>5089766
Oh right it could be minecraft. Might be rough if dragon randomly logs in though

>>5089457
JESAS

>>5088706
Am I dumb to have never once considered they were in her room?
I mean, that would imply they were sitting there in silence for a long while and for some reason started talking only when she left.

>>5090104
They're obviously in Discord, it was obvious the moment it happened.

>>5090179
That's what I think too, I was just wondering about how it would make sense to think otherwise.

>>5090237
There's retards who constantly bring that they're "moving her mouse cursor" in the video of the yab as evidence of them being in her room, but they don't realize that (or are purposely shitposting) the mouse cursor in that video is the person who screen recorded the YouTube video, not hers.

>>5090104
if her friends want to hang out at her place it's not hard to just be silent for an hour or two while she does her stream thing. and friends don't like to wait for a streamer's off-days to hang out. why, isn't there that one holo who was getting finger fucked during a stream and badly trying to cover it up? stuff like that happens.

>>5090308
>be silent for an hour or two
It was a 7 hour endurance stream, anon.

I wonder if we can reach 80 ips today

Is there any reason why a bunch of ten-year olds are bringing up a year old yab or is it just summer vacation for the children? It was pretty clear that most JPs already didn't like her because they hated her voice and accused her of being a man with a voice changer and that this was just a convenient excuse to throw her out altogether. JPs are pretty savage some times and netizens just want to tear people down because it pleases them to see people brought down to their level.

>>5090104
They're obviously not in the same room.

>>5090430
With enough retarded rats it's possible.

>>5090460
I'm wondering if this thread got cross linked from somewhere, there's a bunch of newfags spouting shit about "rrats".

>>5090460
JP's really said that about her? voice changers wouldn't make a deep man's voice sound like a deep female voice. don't they know that lots of women have deeper voices?

>>5090600
Nips are such low test men that they only like women who sound like squeaky dog toys.

Is the pierced bellybutton hornyposting anon dead?

>>5090460
Hopefully it'll die down once Twap streams,then these newfags can go to their next drama thread in the catalogue instead

>>5090631
it's a real shame considering most of these their real voices sound fucking hot or cute as they naturally are.

>>5090569
It's short for narrative and they purposefully shit up threads for fake drama.

>>5091101
You heard the man, get the fuck out of here newfags, we can shit up our own thread far better than you can.

>>5093065
The twintail devotees...

Why is it so easy to worry about Towa...

>>5093434
Towa daughter...

>>5093434
she goes to venting and then disappearing when stressed also it's easy to worry about anyone in this situation

>>5093434
She's like a 7 yo child with light autism.
It's natural to worry about her.

Towa will be really happy when Coco comes back at least.

Ever since Towa's sleep schedule got messed up, I feel like her mental state has been getting worse and worse.
I think she should really try and focus on getting back on a normal schedule, waking and sleeping a random times of the day is really unhealthy.

>>5094075
But what if her poor mental state is the reason of messed sleep schedule?
