Seems cool, you can tell she definitely has a power voice. Needs a new mic however. The art on her face I think is a lil TOO detailed and it didn't translate well to the rig which is why she looks weird at certain angles, but otherwise cute design.

Not a single thing I said matters though because her stream times for me will be between 10pm and 3am so I can't even watch her. What is even the point in hiring all these EN girls (who are obviously meant to attract western countries) if they only stream in JP times?

She's very well spoken. She took her time and chose her words well. She didn't do any weird sounds. She didn't repeat her phrases. She didn't do that translate thing that some ID would do which I think is a good idea. Only thing is she barely looked at chat but based from her interactions on Twitter that she's outgoing and she can speak nip so she won't be a utter mess. Her speaking voice is great so I'm excited to see her collab.

Terrible model. Fan art will consistently be better than the actual thing.
Good anisong voice, perfectly okay for idol songs and jpop, but not a knock-out singer like Hachi which I had hoped for. It's also not really that unique a voice, either. Like she would not stand out among NijiEN.
The bright side is that there will be more hololive music.

If they were going for a more realistic style, the proportions need to be different. I would have made the face narrower, and it's not like she needed such a round face given how poofy her hair is. Also the chin could be longer and mouth narrower. I don't think the nose is as big a deal as people make it out to be. Mostly the overall proportions are off. On the other hand, I looked at the concept art, and the chin/mouth looks better, so it's probably the rigging that's a lot of the issue here.

Slightly underwhelming in terms of charisma. Ina and Mori already have the awkward dork part locked down.

Voice is fine because she's good at staying on key but pretty boring because she doesn't utilise any techniques to give herself more character. Which is fine, a voice is just an instrument, it doesn't have to be unique in most contexts, it only becomes a problem with pop-style presentations like there where the whole hype and appeal is specifically around how stand out the individual talent's singing ability is.

Themeing for her character was literally something out of a 14 year old's diary and even in her music don't go much deeper than "things bad but now good come" which just rubs as quite superficial and aloof of everything going on in the world when her PR goes on about how she's arrived in troubled times to be the light. Also made worse by the fact that she's probably the oldest EN based on both her voice and more critically her tastes (i.e. watching Seed, Final Destination, Angel Beats).

Also the song itself is fine and I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it but nothing seperates it from any other Japanese pop song, it literally hits all the typical compositional beats you'd expect from a pop song in terms of chord progressions, so it just feels a little ten a penny.

Mori gets away with having so-so music because it's not front loaded into her billing. Marketing and hyping IRyS as "V-Singer" only to be as safe and middle of the road as possible just feels uninspiring. If she wasn't part of Hololive, she'd just be another modestly successful (but run of the mill) indie. Which is probably reflected in the iffy numbers on her Roommate's YT for their recent releases

Amusing and optimistic attitude. Very pleasant voice when speaking. Decent when singing and I hope she's allowed to show off some variety, which the EP previews seem like she is. So that's good. Also singing more in English since she is the EN singer.

My biggest criticisms are about her model. Having a ton of details which won't translate that well into 3D. The art style as a whole is also not matching anyone else in Hololive, so placing even the 2D model next to another will look jarring. My first impressions as a whole are positive though, look forward to what she does and how she mixes with the other EN girls when given the chance.

Middle of the road, not bad nor great, just good.
If this whats in store for Gen 2, I guess we really getting something like NijiEN, which is old rejects that now get in because Cover is lacking options.
Gen 2 will be ok I guess, but will never reach the original group's impact.
Not sure if thats a good thing, since if they continue to hire "ok" talent Gen 1 will only become more and more "special", something like a Gen 3 situation on the JP side of things.

...everyone is going fucking nuts, one way or the other. i'm not going to give my opinion: i'll state the facts as i saw them on the vid
--Voice was very Disney-esque, and has a lot of trill and level pitch. i think she was picked out of low applicants. Her voice is actually better when she's just talking. She sounds like she'd be running cashier at a nice cozy bakery. Her voice has warmth to it, when she's not singing.
--She was nervous. expected
--She read the reddit memes. meh. Duly noted she knows what reddit is.
------she did shoot down one of their meme theories, nice.
--She swapped out a DOOM stream. this means she's a nicer girl.
--we've already seen her design. so say what you want. i must state whoever modeled her made her look flat while she was turning. the features need more slide and warp when the head turns, yo.

all in all, i think she would have made a better EN2 than the singer. watch, we'll get an EN2 who is fucking phenomenal at singing who lost the chance to be IRS.

This desu. Gura lacks formal training, I think (based purely on listening to her) but has a naturally sweet voice. Her lower registers during Rodeo are quite appealing in a sultry way but she struggles to maintain the power in her voice.

IRyS is good at saying on key on the other hand but is quite safe vocally. My big worry is that she's the kind of singer who tries to avoid pitch breaks even though small cracks or wobbles can add a bit of necessary character sometimes.

Serious mode on:

+ Got what was promised in that yes she's an excellent singer
+ I was concerned she'd be like AZKi and barely streaming, but she seems to have a busy schedule so is legit +1 on the EN side. It easily could have been "streams a concert once in a while and does nothing else"
+ Okay personality/voice. Some say that as a knock, but that is better than immediately-irritating personality or voice. It COULD have been worse.
+ Speaks Japanese. Might be another bridge between EN-JP besides Kiara.

- Model is literally the concept sketch rigged up and not redrawn/redesigned to be cohesive with the rest of Hololive. Palette/skin tone/hair shading all just looks weird. Proportions are funky, she has microcephaly, strangely realistic lips and a completely different nose (honestly that's kind of a hentai style nose to my perspective)
- Rigger tried, but it somehow it doesn't sync up when she talks. It looks like she's speaking in some other language and what we hear is being dubbed over, which probably lends to the impression some have of "cheap English dub voice"
- Schedule looks okay, but not ambitious, just regular Holo bog-standard, literally is gonna play Apex the first week and doesn't seem to have any special approaches for the non-singing parts of streaming which is going to be probably 95% of her actual content. That 5% actual singing, while nice, won't carry her as a day-to-day Holo.

Making her debut (and flagship) song mostly Japanese, seems like a big debuff. Given how big vtubers have become in the Western world, I expected Cover were going to take a risk and try and straddle the mainstream market by pushing a western pop talent with a slightly, slightly less anime design to try and bring new customers into their market.

It would have been a risk sure but given the monumental success of EN and the limits of the anime adjacent market (even if it is expanding), it's one that could be justified and would be worth taking.

Instead Cover went in completely the opposite direction with an anime PV (less of an issue but still a soft filter) and a mostly Japanese pop song that's musically more suited for a Japanese pop audience than a Western (US) one.

Think about the adaptions BTS (despite retaining some of their character) had to make to really get a big push in the US. That's what it seemed like Cover were going for but instead they played to the Japanese side. Which is fine. I'm sure IRyS will do okay but it's incredibly safe from a corporate standard.

They're kind of asking for someone else to steal the initiative.

Covers are different because they already have a level of familiarity and because the way the youtube algorithm has been pushing Ride on Time and other 80s J-pop, there's a level of familiarity.

A new pop song that's lacking in the stylistic qualities that makes that era of pop appealing contemporarily isn't going to see the same benefit though.

Also people listening to Ride on Time overlap with the kind of market who have already decided if they're watching Hololive or not, rather than new or untapped consumers that are filtered by streaming or the more anime adjacent elements

This. I truly feel that Vtubing is still VERY small compared to other industries in the West. Streaming is starting to get noticed by big media, but vtubing in of itself is still in its infancy. Also culturally, I feel that most people would be put off by the anime-style vtubers have. There was a good video on Youtube made by a guy who explained why he didn't like Vtubers and all his arguments were points I feel that most westerners would make as well.

I agree, in the scheme of things, it's still in its infancy but there's enough momentum and low level of cultural awareness that I think it's starting to blip onto the radar. The fact that people like Pokimane and Pewdiepie (even if temporarily) bandwagoned suggests some level of residual awareness, which is a critical building block if you were inclined to take it mainstream.

Along with, as another anon observed, media awareness, which is evident in the increased profiling and reporting on vtubers over the past year. To suggest it's mainstream when compared with Ninja or Dream is probably wrong sure but the seeds are there for it to go much bigger if Cover had the guts to keep pushing.

As long as she is mildy entertaining, stream-wise, and can reliably sing as well as she did in debut, she's at least more entertaining than Kiara and Calli in my eyes.

However, her design is by far the worst out of everyone. Redjuice is exceptional at art, so it's a shame to see it basically being thrown against a wall and beaten into a shell of it's former self.

Her voice is adorable and her singing is better than all of EN's, but it isn't impressive. I expect it to be good. However, Hololive is really going to have to have a hard look at what drives people to Vtubers, as it's not as much about the content as it is the person, and the impression of Irys felt insincere.

I wish her the best of luck though.

It has infinite potential to grow, but not in its current state. Another thing to consider is that streamers like Sodapoppin pull in huge numbers with a great majority of their fanbase being in English speaking countries only. Gura pulls fantastic numbers but she still has a lot of viewers from Japan as well as other asian countries. Fantastic numbers from viewers across the world is still a great indicator that it's a niche thing compared to a dude who's pulling massive amounts of viewers from a very specific region.

Well, I wouldn't say this was a leap into a 'mainstream' market as EN Gen 1 or Gen 2 may be.

It's clear that Irys has some influence or potential in order to have this glorified Debut with some of the best production I've ever seen out of any Cover creation.

This is just a JP member who happens to speak English and they decided that the right move was to force them onto us Westerners instead of creating a little no man's land for everyone to congregate.

If this is to go 'mainstream', it's going to take a lot of time and effort, but It's also going to lose a lot of what makes it unique. When you have millions upon millions of followers, that feeling of being close with these people is just lost.

the biggest pro is probably more VOMS style mid-level competition rather than the current power gap between big name companies like Hololive and literal who indies

Also more western competition at a corporate level would force Cover to up its game, in theory. While it has hegemony, it can shitcan talents based on Japanese values (i.e. don't breathe a word about Taiwan) and mostly get away with it because it has market hegemony.

Vshojo aren't really a competitor because the company doesn't exist to throw its weight around as much as to give a bunch of already popular talents slightly more leverage or marketing power. In other words, it's more like a confederation of interests than a company with long term strategic goals.
