I don't wanna think of it this way, but maybe it's Taiwanese who are attacking Aqua?
Because she didn't mention Coco's name?
I remembered that they had attacked 恋乃夜まい

I'm sure there are some Japanese antis tho

>>5082128
I just googled that girl and I don’t think I have ever seen her interact with Coco or any other Hologirl. I’m sure there are probably some people who are mad at her for not mentioning Coco’s name in her tweet, but Ayame did not tweet about it at all and her Goodbye Sengen cover did not get mass disliked. I’m sure that it’s mainly Japanese antis.

It is not looking good for aqua. Yes, it's the taiwanese, the comment section is pure shithole. Feel like months of bad narrative against her has finally bear results and exploded. Some tw aqua crew seem to be affected by bad rrat too.

Here is a few points:
They seem to misunderstand that leaving more positive comments for her equals to going to spam comments and wage war against bad comments.
They think that their positive comments mean nothing and she is just acting. They think she should just graduate if she can't the heat. She has been a vtuber for 2 years and she still can't take any negative comments.

Honestly, the tl isn't bad but i have a hard time understand how the taiwanese come to this conclusion. After yesterday stream the impression i got is aqua is having a hard time mentally recently and she needs everyone support to get over it. The fact she admits that she is mentally weak and wants to change but she needs time is already brave enough. People really lack empathy and compassion nowadays.

>>5082128
>they had attacked 恋乃夜まい
They hate Mai because she decided to start streaming on Bilibili. She also unfollowedevery holomems on twitter with the reason "I don't remember I've followed them in the first place", despite putting "Hololive" tag in her Youtube videos, which is already odd on her side.
That being said, Bomb-blasting her videos with dislikes doesn't count as attacking since it does not violate Youtube's guidelines. They didn't commit any doxxing, spamming, or death threats to her for what I'm concerning. Same thing goes for Aqua.
>>5082816
They probably hate her to guts, that doesn't mean they don't have the rights to. I don't see Aqua's chat got overblown by spams, nor do I see her hashtags got infiltrated by roommate information. The negative feedbacks are something she needs to overcome herself.

>>5082449
>I’m sure there are probably some people who are mad at her for not mentioning Coco’s name in her tweet, but Ayame did not tweet about it at all and her Goodbye Sengen cover did not get mass disliked.
Those people don't actually care about what Aquas tweet said. They just care that it was Aqua who tweeted it. Even if Aqua did say Cocos name they would find something else to be angry about.
Something like "Oh so now that she's graduating you can finally talk about her huh? Fucking chink whore"
Just because Aqua had a bunch of CN fans so they think Aqua is responsible for everything and that she has to apologize or something.
Ayame interacted even less than Aqua did with Coco since the chink incident and while some people are still angry at Ayame for that, not that many people care simply because she's not Aqua.

>>5082816
They’re right when they say that she needs to start being able to take heat, didn’t she already say that herself?
I think telling your fans to just leave positive comments if they want to support you against antis is a good way to make them not actively engage with people who post mean comments and just ignore them instead.

>Attacking Aqua because she was popular in China.
Are they retarded?

>>5083320
>I don't see Aqua's chat got overblown by spams, nor do I see her hashtags got infiltrated by roommate information
It's not as bad as what Coco and sometimes other members had to deal with, but there's still some spam. Yesterday there was some bot posting "AQUA <3 CHINA AND BILIBILI" and "AQUA <3 RMB" almost the whole stream.
Twitter seems fine though, just the usual rare negative comment. Nothing like Cocos tags that were (still are?) filled with gore, dox, porn, random chinese spam and other disgusting shit. That was insane.

>>5083638
I think we can all agree aqua need to strengthen her mentality but they are ignoring the part where she said she wanted to change. Aqua crew who followed her should know changing herself is always part of her aim even before the drama. She invited the whole gen 2 out for dinner just this year which is a big step for her.

>>5083821
It's all so surreal, I think of leftist twitter canceling and similar nonsense and it's like child's play compared to the utter rage and insanity going on over there

>>5083821
Coco’s Twitter tags showed me how messed up people can be. Coco always had some of my favorite fanart, but I stopped looking at it on Twitter because all that shit was just too annoying.

Youtube just removed like 1000 dislikes from her last stream again.

>>5084227
What is even the point of using bots to dislike her videos if they get removed anyway?

wo ai ni aqua

>>5084499
Aqua cover of this when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB27PdiZ7ek
?

>>5083821
I didn’t really notice these comments in chat during the stream, did they get deleted?

>>5084644
Some did get deleted, she probably has mod monitoring her stream.

>>5084688
I know that Rion was there during the beginning, but I wonder if Cover finally got people to monitor their talents chat.

>>5084808
During aqua master challenge stream, her chat got raided by chinese and she contacted mods for help. Seems like the holos have a group of mod they can summon when they need help.

>>5084877
Didn’t she say that she asked a friend?

>>5084885
Different incidents

>>5084904
Good that they did something

>>5083933
I just saw a english clip of this and the comments also don’t really seem to pay attention to the fact that she said that she wants to change herself and make herself stop getting affected by it

>>5084319
optics, most people watch within first 2 days or so, so majority of viewers see thsoe dislikes even if theyre scrubbed afterwards

>>5086186
Yeah. I saw that. I think Cover needs to find a way to figure this out. They need to let Coco and Aqua start talking about each other again. I think they do in the sideline. Or collab together. I think some rrat about her getting a lot of endorsements and projects while Coco is graduating is dumb. Her manager probably had to push them back because Aqua had to take a break thus the pile up.

>>5086548
>think some rrat about her getting a lot of endorsements and projects while Coco is graduating is dumb.
I even saw someone on Twitter saying that cover is going back to China because Botan got paid to shill some mobile game. For some reason, people like connecting positive things with negative things.

>>5087240
They will link anything to draw up some drama. From absolutely anywhere. They are always hoping it will cause some shitheads to respond to bait. I even some saying that the bloom album was made by uyghur people

>>5087392
Damn, I didn’t know that all Holos, composer and songwriter who worked on Bouquet are actuality from uyghur...

>>5087460
The rrat. It's too dumb.

>>5086548
They will just say cover force them to collab and it's not genuine. They will just find any reason to fit their own narrative they like while ignoring facts. Honestly, fuck this group of schizos no matter the nationality.

>>5070206
Why did you decide to name the thread あてぃし Thread instead of 湊あくあ? I don’t mind it, I just wonder why.

>>5092895
It's about あていし

>>5092932
Aqua... please stop shitposting on 4chan and get your capture card fixed...

>>5083767
Well, taiwanese are still chinks. They're all the same.

>>5093248
True anyone associated with them are retarded.

real talk, the Aqua thread on /vt/ is sane.
anon aren't influenced by the chinks and Taiwanese who do stupid things.
I was really sad to see Taiwanese trolling in the comments section of her latest karaoke stream.
She didn't do anything but they attack her, labeling her as China.
They are really the same after all....

>>5070206
so until Aqua fixes her capture card she can't do any gaming streams? i don't mind having more singing streams but it would be nice to have something else for a change of pace. now that cover got some more permissions she really can show her gaming skills

>>5094937
Why does she need a capture card for PC games? Does she have a dedicated streaming pc?

>>5094937
Just console games which is what she wanted to do.
She can still play on her PC

>>5095028
Aqua has a 2 PC set up, but doesn’t need a capture card for it.

>>5095033
i see, so she should still have a nice selection. can't wait to see what she streams next
(god i hope its not fucking apex)

>>5095146
There's no way she's playing Apex. She doesn't want to play this season and she's not sure if she will even come back after that.

>>5095146
Aqua said that she doesn’t want to play apex again any time soon

>>5095191
>>5095189
thanks. i can't describe how happy i am to read this

I miss Aqua doing non apex, non gacha gaming streams so much, hopefully she fixes or gets a new capture card soon.

>>5092895
Was hoping to make the thread a bit harder to find for shitposters.

>>5097262
I mean it was a shit game but she played that horrorge a few days ago.

Jesus nothing can satisfy you guys… what do you want her to play? Minecraft for eternity ? People literally bullied her so much for playing her favorite game and now she’s too scared to even play it… because of the trauma from antis and haters spamming her. Is this truly how she should be? Bullied until she plays a game that people likes whether she’s having fun or not?

>>5098181
Who are you talking to?

>>5098181
I want her to do streams I would enjoy watching, what's wrong with that? And I don't mind apex streams but I don't want her to stream only apex.

>>5098181
It's not like she doesn't want to play other games herself.
In february she teased Nier but that got cancelled due to technical issues. Before her break she asked members what games they wanted to see and last week she was feeling down because her capture card wouldn't work.

>>5098181
What are you talking about? She clearly wants to stream other games but hasn't been able to because of the equipment issues which made her upset.

>>5099525
>>5099444
But that’s not the issue at hand. Sure equipment issue is a thing but she said she loved playing apex and wanted to have fun playing the game. But then look what happened? She literally got attacked into oblivion to the state where she can’t even play her favorite game anymore. Because she know she will get attacked if she ever plays the game again.

>>5070206
I thought Aqua was supposed to be good. Both Polka and Ange's versions were much better.

>>5100020
>Because she know she will get attacked if she ever plays the game again.
I'm pretty sure the fact that she banged her head against the D1 wall all day every day for entire week whilst playing against premade squads, stream snipers and cheaters also had something to do with it.

>>5100459
And who were the stream snipers ? Haters who don’t want her to play the game. Also the fact that there was negativity and so much spam in her chat, also hate was sent to her twitter as well. Cheaters and pre-made team is part of the games fault, but it’s our job to support her playing her favorite game. But when everyone gets pissy pants when she plays apex of course it’s gonna take a huge mental toll on her.

>>5101505
No, it's not our job. It's her job to provide entertainment.

>>5101811
Not your job to support her ? So you’re just not a fan then lmao.

>>5101946
And you just fail to realize she was doing this climb mainly because of fans's support and fans were supporting her because she set this goal but nobody cared about her actually reaching masters.

>>5102192
> she was doing this climb mainly because of fans's support
Totally not because it would be a huge achievement to be the first in all of holo to reach masters and to even do it solo. Totally no.
> nobody cared about her actually reaching masters.
Damn the meds finally wore off?

>>5102497
I'm not too good with words so maybe I can't explain it clearly...

Aqua didn't want to give up on this challange because everyone was supporting her. Everyone was supporting her because that's what fans are supposed to do.
But she and us surely at some point realized it was impossible for her to do it that season. And yet she pushed herself to the point of not wanting to play apex anymore. While I don't think she ever said it, she probably felt really bad because she "disappointed" her fans. Same thing as with the mario kart tournament.
What I meant by "nobody cared about her reaching masters" is that fans would be okay with her failing the challenge.

>>5103289
Ah ok that makes much more sense. True in a sense that she did push herself way too hard. But problem also lies within her, whereas she feels she needs to do some amazing accomplishment to prove her worth. Since she feels she doesn’t doesn’t do as much as others and doesn’t deserve her fame. So getting to masters would be a huge accomplishment for her. But in the end she failed and it evidently hit her super hard. Of course fans wont berate her for failing but she still feels responsible for letting us down. During that time the antis attack also probably got to her and caused trauma. So best we can do as fans is to support her. Unfortunate she feels her worth derives from being good at games to match out expectations.

I relate with this girl too much...

>>5104745
I just want to fuck her all day long. Especially while she’s streaming or gaming.

>>5100020
>>5101505
I think you forgot some things. Aqua complained that a lot of people only cared about watching Apex and not Aqua. That was a while after she had failed her first Solomaster challenge and she was preparing for her Sololive concert a lot and just having fun doing karaoke streams and playing Monhun, but she was STILL trying to do Apex streams and even practicing off-stream because people wanted to see Apex.
That's when she finally decided to take a break from Apex. It was taking up too much time and hurting her when she has a lot of other things and games that she wants to do and enjoy.

I wish she would build a simple stall in the Usaken Festival. It would be great if she can under Botan and Kanata's supervision. Her just being so alone all the time is just so depressing. Does noone talk to her?? Sure they had that SMP but that was ages ago. A lot of the girls are having fun together. She's getting paired up on sponsorships and sub-unit but they are all yet to collab. It looks artificial.

>>5106632
In my opinion if I can say it, when you are an introvert plus social anxiety you fail not only to reach/approach other people but become sort of invisible (or less noticeable anyway) to others. I don't know if this is the case since every member showed some support during Aqua's break, but it wouldn't surprise me if so.
Being like her myself I totally empathize with her persona; sure socials help mask it a little sometimes but when it comes to a direct interaction (like pvt) or in irl I fail to interact properly unless I prepared myself for hours or days prior. It sucks and forcing a more extrovert behavior doesn't actually help.

>>5077245

I feel like this isn’t healthy.

>>5113513

>>5107685
I get it. It's hard but from what I can see, it is hurting her more than ever. Her doing these reclusive behaviors even when after shown a certain amount of attention from other holomembers just draws a lot of ire from people. She looks standoffish. She's going to collab with Tamaki. Which is great but if her next collab with a holomember will only be forced sponsored content then she will be heavily criticized. Just like how Mori was criticized. I hope she sees that sooner or later. I'm sure people will chill the fuck down if she actually interacts more with other holomembers even if it isn't Coco.

>>5117075
Weren’t people angry at mori for enjoying the collab more than the ones with other Holomem?
I didn’t see any complaints about Aqua not enjoying the AkuSuba Gacha Collab, SuiAquapex or Mario Party enough.

>>5117239
Dude. Those were more than a month ago. Noone will get upset with a holomember that spends a lot of time with other holomembers. It's the same with Matsuri who was being criticized before for collabing with outsiders a lot. If Aqua does not interacr with other holomembers who seemingly were supportive during her break, only then will she look bad. She's going to collab with Tamaki. That's it. She has the redbull and subunit but no true interactions so far. Just wait after 1-2 weeks. The hate threads will form if she continues to be like this.

>>5117342
Aqua isn't going out of her way to collab with random people all the time while ignoring her Holo members though. She just doesn't collab much in general.
That Tamaki collab was supposed to be last month and just got delayed.

>>5117342
I’m just saying that the people who were angry at Mori seem to have had a different reason than the people who would get angry at Aqua.

>>5117375
>>5117411
I know what you are saying. I have watched Aqua a lot myself. I know the Tamaki collab was a reschedule. I am just saying that as far as optics goes, she's not helping herself by secluding herself like this.

>>5098181
There are people who dislike a certain game, and there are people who will harass her for playing a certain game. Former is normal and latter is sociopathic.
For instance, I dislike minecraft streams, but I'd simply watch other people instead. And sometimes I feel like talking about how I dislike certain games. It's normal.

So many faggots posting that clip of her talking about the negative comments but leaving out the part at the end where she says she'll try her best to ignore them are just making her look worse.

>>5117625
The taiwanese translation one included that part but they still ignore it anyway, people just like to magnify negative things than the positive things. In one way, you can't blame her for focusing on negative comments when people do the same shit to her too.

>>5117885
4D chess. Antis proving her point for her.

>>5117885
Wish she had kept that members only.
Should've known that clipfags would just end up making things worse.

Thanks for the info

Aqua was in Noels utawaku chat.
I remember she once tried to sing like Noel on purpose, she must like that SOUL too.

>>5120272
What did Aqua say?

>>5120272
Everyone loves SOUL!
What did she say?

>>5120312
めっちゃ可愛かった

>>5120272
>I remember she once tried to sing like Noel on purpose
Wasn't it that song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MjAJSoaoSo

>>5122500
Yeah, found a clip of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7MHaJDHu5c

It's actually the same song, I didn't remember that one.

Aqua really likes Seiun Sky, huh

I hope Aqua and Shion will sing Vampire together someday.

>>5128466
If it’s enough for you, you can find multiple mash ups by entering Aqua Shion Vampire on YouTube. I don’t know if their good because I haven’t listened to them.

>>5117075

Yeah I get what you mean, probably. Before I reply I have to say that I'm new to 4chan (about few days) and already understood that here people lack empathy or feel enough entitled to say whatever they want about a person, don't feel attacked I mean no rudeness/offense. Aniway, my point was more in a "personal/emotional" level rather than a "work" one.
What I can say is that looking to past collabs they feel genuine but waters were probably more quiet, now there is a different situation between antis, chinks and trolls spamming in chat (like latest stream). It doesn't surprise me that she feel pressured and it wouldn't surprise me if the reason behind more genuine collabs in the near future was because of that. This remind me of how Coco was understanding if she couldn't collab more because of the Taiwan thing, but she dealt with it probably better. Aqua is a different matter as a person and to me it seem she needs more help from the inside to arrange any collabs (or even streaming in general at this point) considering how she is doing right now. Again, I get what you mean, absolutely, but there are probably a lot more reasons behind and I don't feel entitled to say "It is just like this" or something, I merely speculate.

Some ppl are upset that they can't type Coco in her chat, is this true?
but I saw a pic of her chat with Coco's name in the previous thread.
https://i.4cdn.org/vt/1623590810761.png

And there's nothing wrong with her or her manager banning it.
Spammers will go trolling in her chat and retarded will force her to read Coco's name in SC.
Why are there so many ppl who don't understand such obvious things?

>>5136590
Yes, it's the taiwanese getting mad at her, baha is a forum board for taiwanese and they have a anti holo thread used for schizos. Pic you shown is some anti from baha testing the ban words. Aqua is pretty much used by the taiwanese as their own political tool to take a stance against china. As i remember, management seems to be responsible for ban words on their channel. I remember roberu channel had some weird settings that ban specific numbers, probably a mistake by management.

>>5136590
ココ is blocked but you can type other words that include it. That already happened ages ago though because chinks were spamming and even literally sending threats via SC.
But most people only found out now so they got the wrong idea from it.
Can't believe I had to dig this image up again, This was from her MC stream a few hours after she greeted Coco in-game and the NGA schizos lost their mind.

>>5137335
And another one, from the same person even

Do Taiwanese feel like Coco is like a hero? Do they label Aqua as China?
Fuck braindead.
Coco was just trolled by chinks, and Aqua was just popular in China.
They don't have any political ideology.

Don't they know that Coco's roommate has a stream on the Chinese platform 'Mildom'?
What do they think about it?

>>5137824
They don't think.
Just imagine both sides as retarded /pol/fags from their own countries.

>>5137824
Coco and Aqua are also close, no matter what the retards and schizo try to make you belief. That’s all you need to know and understand. Its the same as how Mea and Aqua are still friends despite all that happen. Just because they don’t interact onstream doesn’t mean they aren’t still close outside.

To add further, suisei and kanata who are close friends with coco are close to aqua too. The irony is the taiwanese keep saying how the mainlanders are evil and retarded for spamming and harassing coco yet they are doing the same thing to aqua. They need to look at a mirror.

>>5139399
I don't think you need to tell the people in this thread of all places

>>5117375

Subaru did a stream where she talked about the anime song recording. Aqua wasn't there since she did her recording on another day, but Subaru did mention that Aqua was wearing her cap for her recording.

>>5137335
>minecraft in the background
Was this after she said “Konaqua” to her in Minecraft? Lmao, Chinese are so fucking retarded.

>>5131947
I'm glad you understood my perspective. She has a very limited chance to dispel any hard rumors about her. If Coco graduates and she does not in any form or manner acknowledge her except for the tweet I think it will swell a lot of hate towards her. Even if Cover doesn't go back to CN but for people to see her gain so much promotions and projects as Coco walks away does not look good. I'm not saying that that they are related. But a lot of people who are already prejudiced against her will absolutely use this to form nasty narratives about her. She can alleviate that by simply playing with people that Coco regularly plays with like Fubuki, Noel, Marine and Kanata. It's playing the association game. I know she herself might be struggling with trying to request for collabs but her manager or Cover should be aware that the optics on Aqua is not looking good. Coco herself has been dispelling rumors left and right. I think they should do the same with Aqua. Just rip off the band-aid and let them interact.

>>5162797
I can't find that donation in particular but they did freak out when she greeted Coco offscreen.
Aqua wasn't streaming at the time but she greeted Coco who started streaming before her.
It's around 6:31 in this vod: https://youtu.be/-F2f5nNlCH8?t=391

Man that was so good, the chat was having a blast.

>>5163442
Not that anon, but I 100% agree with you.
China isn't coming back and holding back Aqua because of the Chinese is only going to hurt her (even more than it already has).
I really can't stand watching this fragile girl being targeted as she is.

old /jp/ tell me where else can I discuss Akutan and maybe other jpafter 2 years that place is dead to me but holo is all I have

>>5169118
there is a pretty decent thread on here for discussion. as an old /jp/ you should be able to find it with no problem. specific holo threads tend to be ...ok. some get overun with coomers sadly and from time to time a shizo finds his way in but usualy leaves when ignored

>>5169227
ok I'll try to lurk but do you know of anything active enough to live chat? I can even transition to discord at this point

>>5171040
depends of the holo, some threads are very active(like towa) others no so much, sadly the precious aqua threads are full of drama for obvious reasons :(

>>5171040
really depends on what you define as active. the thread i don't want to name since it managed to stay mostly shizo free and i want to keep it that way can have some good chating when several posters focus on a stream.

>>5171040
Unless you want to post on 5ch then no.
Sadly I still think /jp/ and the Aqua threads here on /vt/ are the best you can have. Discord is dead even when she's streaming.

>>5172077
Why is Discord dead? I always thought Holodiscords would be active because I assumed that’s where most english speakers would go.

Aqua discord fanbase split into two because the original one was created by a retard mod so most of the active posters move to the new one. The new one is more active and has more resources.

https://discord.gg/akukinhq

>>5172234
Let me guess.
The mod went on a powertrip despite neither the Discord nor the fanbase being about him?

>>5172138
I don't know others might be more active but Aqua isn't really that popular with english speakers to begin with and most people only seem to know "haha it's the onion girl that plays apex"

>>5172295
They found out he is a nazi admirer. That mod just leave recently.

Are they using chinese to explain? The coco ban word issue seems to spread on mostly a small minority on 5ch and burning on taiwanese community.

God bless Marine for giving me Aqua today.

>>5176709
Like jumbo servings of pasta, my god

>>5176709
Who will clean up all the spilled spaghetti after the stream?

I missed it, is a collab confirmed?

>>5178968
Yes but actually no (it was a joke date offcollab)

Did they never collab outside that one train game

>>5202362
No. Maybe some big group events but that's it.
Even Pekora has more collabs and interactions with Aqua.

I didn’t think that this thread would survive the orange x pink woman collab

I need to confess that the dog puns during the call actually made me laugh.

Cute Aqutan

Personally I don't care if she doesn't stream for a few days because of recordings or whatever, and most fans seem fine with it. But it feels like she's just giving antis more excuses to complain about her.
It shouldn't be that hard to stream some random garbage for an hour when she's home.
Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't like seeing people hate her for stupid reasons and she has enough problems right now.

>>5233316
Her antis hate her for political reasons, so I guess she just has to wait for the storm to pass.

>>5235597
She still has enough Japanese antis who don’t care about that

>>5235597
There were still a lot of people complaining that she stops streaming and comes back with utawakus multiple times.

>>5233316
I feel like she needs to admit to herself and her fans that the current situation isn't working. Towards the end of last year she said she would get busier with the idol stuff, but she didn't want her streaming schedule to suffer from it. That clearly isn't working out. She went from being the most active Hololive streamer in 2019 and 2020 to Ayame levels the past two months. If you take out the two weeks where she went full autist on Apex, I'm pretty sure she's near the bottom of the pack in terms of hours streamed in 2021.

She keeps saying she wants to do more game streams, but the simple fact is that she doesn't have the time and/or energy to keep a regular streaming schedule next to her idol activities.
Around the time they got Square Enix permissions, she teased playing Nier, but didn't follow up on it. Before her break she asked members what games they wanted to see, but hasn't followed up on it. In that same stream she asked members to come up with interesting ideas for streams which she would listen to in the next stream. She hasn't followed up on that. And now she teased playing a game that nobody would expect only to once again disappear with no prior notification other than a tweet saying "I'm busy, I might not stream regularly".

Of the last 16 videos of her channel, 3 are covers, 7 are singing streams, 1 is a concert and only 3 are game streams. Two of which are horse pussy.
She needs to decide whether she's a streamer that does idol things or she's an idol that occasionally streams. If it's the former she can go back to something that resembles her schedule from last year. If it's the latter she should clearly announce that she's limiting streams to 2-3 times per week.

>>5238420
To be fair a lot of that isn't her fault and she had a chain of unlucky events.
She wanted to stream regularly right after her concert, but her throat hurt so bad she had to end her stream early.
Didn't stream until the Mario Party collab party when she still wasn't fine but she wanted to show up anyways.
Then she went on her long break until she finally got better a few days ago.
She played that shitty horror game, then wanted to play something new but the capture card broke, and she had to replace the streams with utawaku and horse pussy instead.
Now this week she's busy again.
And this is completely ignoring the whole anti problem that has been stressing her out.
For her sake I hope next week will be better. She really should have a new capture card by now if it really had issues.

>>5238420
I might sound like an armchair psychologist here so I apologize beforehand, but it's pretty clear that she has a massive fear of losing something, whoever knows what happened in her life up to this point.

On the Cover and B2 debacle, her fear of losing something on the side that she doesn't choose made her sit on the fence for a prolonged time since she likes everyone and just want them to get along, but now it's haunting her back with both sides attacking her.

Similar to that, now she's on the midpoint of whether she's a streamer that does occasional idol gigs, or an idol that occasionally stream some content. Being an idol who sings and dances while making everyone happy seems to be her dream so I understand her wanting to push harder for it but at the same time most of her core audience came from when she streamed a lot of games and clearly being good at it, making her a 'gamer' and some of them couldn't care less of her idol stuff, they just want to see some games.

Not wanting to lose her dream nor her audience pushed her to those autist APEX streams where she keeps chugging on Red Bull to both stream and do her idol obligations, and we saw how that destroyed her health completely. She should be fully aware now that doing both is impossible for her by experiencing it, but still somehow refuses to let either one of it go which led to all those hollow promises she made.

At least now she has the courage to actually tweet out that her streaming schedule will be irregular compared to the past radio silences, but as someone who's been watching her since 2019 I really hope that she will understand the world isn't that sweet and she will be able to let go of something completely.

Sorry for the long passages, and hope you have a good day.

>>5240325
Aqua clearly loves streaming as well so it's not like she actually wants to do it less.
But the problem seems to be that she bites off more than she can chew with all the other activities. And when she realizes that she doesn't have time do everything at once the streaming part is the easiest thing to take a break from.
It's not like she can just say "Hey I'm not working on that anymore because I want to stream a game now" when there's probably the whole company, a lot of money and other people involved in it.

>>5240243
>To be fair a lot of that isn't her fault and she had a chain of unlucky events.
Some of it isn't, but this has been going on for longer than the past month.
She took an 11 day break in February followed up with a 12 day period with only 3 streams around Bloom. She had a 2 week break at the start of April followed up by a 3 week period with only 5 streams before her sololive.
I'm guessing with her next sololive in August it will be a similar pattern.
In addition to that she released 3 covers over the past two months, with a 4th one coming soon. She said she pays and organizes the work on her covers herself.
It's pretty obvious she's prioritizing her idol activities over her streaming and she should just admit that instead of giving her fans false hope.

>she had to replace the streams with utawaku and horse pussy
She obviously couldn't have known that her capture card would break, but she could've played an actual game on her PC instead of horse pussy the next day.
>Now this week she's busy again.
That's not an unlucky event, it's her prioritizing other things.

>>5240325
>but it's pretty clear that she has a massive fear of losing something
I've noticed this as well which is why I think it would be better for her to choose just one thing instead of having to constantly stress out about losing either one.

Saying that she's busy doing other stuff is cope
She isn't busy doing other stuff, she just has some issue as a streamer
When she did stream all her streams were just apex and karaoke for months. She doesn't want to produce interesting stream content for some reason. Maybe she got bored of playing games? Idol activities don't take up so much time that they prevent someone from streaming

>>5243952
what was the point in posting this?

>>5243696
>>5243978
You're just talking out of your ass.
She's doing recordings pretty frequently and for every hour spent in the recording studio she needs to practice the recording beforehand for several hours.
Cover, being the useless leeches that they are, don't really support her activities, which means she needs to do most of the organization work around her concerts and covers herself.
She has a lot of dance lessons as well.

>When she did stream all her streams were just apex and karaoke for months. She doesn't want to produce interesting stream content for some reason.
Apart from the fact that she never did only Apex and karaoke for months, number-wise those streams were doing very well so they must have been interesting content for someone.

>>5245784
she streamed more when she lived hours away from tokyo and had to take the train every day to go into the city to take lessons or record at the studio

>>5247269
I don't recall her going Tokyo a lot for her first sololive. In fact, she had remote dance lessons while she probably does them in person now. Which means she actually spends more time commuting now than she did back then.
In October - November she did actually have several weeks where she streamed very little as a result of having to go to Tokyo for the カレーメシ live and BtS. Yes, she was able to stream more back then compared to the past few months, but that's because those events were organized by Cover, not herself and she had a relatively small role in BtS.
She also started living alone so she actually has to do household chores now and she's also taking English lessons now.

is..is aqua chonky?

Considering her irl age, I feel you are a little bit harsh on Aqua.
Although she isn't mentally stable yet, I'd say she really works harder than other girls her age.
Yes, when you work as a vtuber, being young doesn't give you any advantage.
The avatars are young and cute in appearance, so hags with a lot of life experience and a stable mind are better suited to be vtubers.

She lives alone now, won't surprised me if she actually has less time compare to the time when she commuted to the studio because she needs to do everything herself instead on relying on kumiko.

Amazon has just added Aqua Nendo.
Is the release date December 31?

>>5261210
Oh definitely, she was basically living rent free before with all daily chores being done by her mom for her.
Now on top of doing everything by herself instead of online dance lesson and recording she's actually going to the proper establishment. Not to mention she's managing her upcoming concert and covers herself so naturally less time to stream. Although that's her reason for moving into Tokyo to begin with so she got that granted, good for her.

>>5261409
Looking at other sites the release date is still undecided, but it will indeed be on December.

Hope you all have a good day.

I wish it would have more accessories

The description on AmiAmi is kinda cute
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-128443

"Konaqua!"

From the popular VTuber group "hololive production" comes a Nendoroid of the marine maid-styled virtual maid, Minato Aqua! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a slightly blushing winking expression and a popular smiling expression with closed eyes that fans may recognize from her streams!

Optional parts include a broom, a mic stand and a box to pose her standing on, allowing you to recreate her appearance from when she sang during her first 3D stream! Various hand parts for creating all kinds of poses are included as well. Be sure to add Nendoroid Minato Aqua, the small idol with big ambitions of becoming the number one idol in the universe, to your collection!

Protect her smile

Really? I think it makes a good job fulfilling Aqua’s only criteria while making it look related to her.

I wanted to say “does a good job”
Sorry, I just woke up from a nap.

Aqua is (not) the prince of tennis!

Nene talked about Aqua on her stream.
she promised to have dinner with Aqua.
They both use the same bag and phone case.
Nene is sociable and they are close in age, so I hope they get along well.

>>5280607
I hope so too. If Nene is around maybe she can rope Aqua to hang out with Lamy as well.
