literally no SOUL, no PASSION, no EMOTION. sure, she hits a current video, but shitpost from a supposed anti are supposed to improve on the original, not feel like goddamn copy pasta. even SEA shitpost better. just dilate this trans OP already

>>6693345
Now we found the key to getting into Hololive. Just hire one of those bot services Indian rappers use and boost two of your videos to a ridiculous number. You're 100% in

If you post it again, I’m sure she’ll start singing EN songs.

>>6692938

Azki will always have her unique fake crying accompanying the song.
It depends on whether you like to hear that kind of thing repeatedly.

I hope Irys never sing in full English just so that I can watch you die seething.

>>6692938
I actually like IRyS a lot.
Seethe more KFP.

>>6693935
I pray for this

idk bros AZKi has given her blessing

https://twitter.com/AZKi_VDiVA/status/1416590991021117441

Go back to your prison unpaid fried nugget.

It was a nice cover. Not as much soul as Suichan when she sang it live with AZKi though.

But Azki loved that her cute little Kouhai covered her song.

>>6702780
Funny rhetorical question: has any holo even said "bullshit, you can't cover my song"?

>>6693665
You can blame Cover for a lot of things, but they clearly knows their intended Western audience there

>>6692938
she is probably a sophie

>>6693935

Her first karaoke stream was great.

I'm pretty encouraged.

Azki knows well enough that it's free publicity. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>6692938
You dont have to seethe this hard just cause your new nijizhangji only got 1/10 of IRyS number nijiniggerchama...
Also, Ame mogged the shit outta their debut kek

Because of /vt/, I hate the word 'soul' now. Thanks.

>>6706712
Irys already surpassed Azki in subs, so she'll definitely benefit from the hype.

>>6708010
I’m starting to see a pattern here similar to Kiara anti except Irys is actually not obnoxious and her personality is pure vanilla. So I assumed the one who kept mentioning “Soul” here is the vtweeter who failed the audition and can’t find anything else to attack her

>>6692938
>pic

>>6705399
Not bluntly like that. but if they don't like it they'll act passive aggressively about it.

Kiara, this isn't a healthy habit

>>6693849
>>6693983
>trying to deflect everything to KFP

>>6715388
I hope she covers a Sora song next. Sora barely gets highlighted every time an EN tries to do any Hololive karaoke. It's great that she's starting with Hololive and not being a numberfag about it. Inochi is a great song but many newfags don't know about it. You can already see people flocking to the original song and commenting about the fact they either didn't know it was Azki who sang it or have totally forgotten about Azki and is only now being reminded of her existence.

>>6701587
>>6702780
Imagine oversinging a song that made your Senpai relevant. I think it will be disrespectful because people will diss on Azki. I think this version has enough soul especially if you listen after the 3min mark. I think it leaves you wanting more and thus making you want to listen to the original song. There was a spike in views in the original. I think this is a good way to cover it. Not too flashy.

>>6715805
Anon, i used to make fun of the gosling but I think I’m slowly starting to fall for this girl. What should I do

>>6715921
Don't gosling bro. Just chill and enjoy it. She's a simple girl that just wants to sing and play games.

90% of EOP don't understand them. That's why you have HoloEN.

>>6721057
No, if I watch japanese anime it's because I want to watch stuff in japanese, if I watch holoEN it's because I want to watch stuff in English

>>6721101
uhm yea, that's what i said, why is the only vsinger from holoen singing in japanese only then

Irys butchered the song and the instruments are louder than her voice. Probably to hide how shit she really is.

>>6715805
I feel like doing an official cover of another Holo's song is largely frowned upon. IRyS is only doing so to legitimize her Vsinger credentials. Th others tend to leave them for karaoke streams.

>>6721031
>Fucking talentless
Have you listened to Kiara's work?

>>6726124
Sorry, my phrasing was bad, I meant singing them on Karaokes

>>6726434
I'm not update on all the holos, but Suisei sang Miren Record on her last one.

>>6726844
Cool, thanks

>>6726124
Why is it frowned upon? Is this a JP thing? Because a lot of En fans are actually hoping now she covers specific holo songs

>>6692938
These edits are getting more kowai

>>6726913
I don't know, probably just a "don't infringe on my views" sorta thing. Kinda goes without saying, at least for the JP side.

In IRyS' case, she can be an effective marketing vehicle of JP's originals abroad. 2021 seems to be the year Cover decided to crank out shitloads of songs, and IRyS covers may help boost their chart success.

>>6692938
The japs are trying to boost azki music with EN fans.

>>6718256
why though

>>6721859
Was this unarchived?

>>6727505
That's not how it works, maybe a little percent will check on original, but there was a time on yt when reaction channels boomed and it was a bit of controversy. Videos that were reactions to seen little to none of view boost.

>>6735035
>dude its too good of a copy of the original
>make it worse lol
what did he mean by this?

>>6743461
the whole point of a cover is to be different from the original, to show something new or distinctive about the composition. a cover that is a rote copy of the original work is objectively an artistic failure. irys's cover of "inochi" is a rote copy of the original and is objectively an artistic failure.

>>6743583
>the whole point of a cover is to be different from the original
is it? i thought it was just singing someone else's song, whether it be similar or different
and being different just for the sake of it doesn't make something automatically good or worth talking about

>>6743809
novelty and variations have always been important in music. there's a reason people still make and listen to new recordings of new performances of centuries-old classical music. people want to hear new ways of understanding those performances, through the work of conductors and musicians who bring their own interpretations. no, you literally don't get any points for doing it the same way it was already done before.

>>6743939
>no, you literally don't get any points for doing it the same way it was already done before
Sure it's not some novel take on the song but I don't see anything wrong with doing a faithful cover of an original song that your friend made
It is still well done and sounds good
The fact that you would have her do a new take on it that could end up being garbage just so its "new" is odd to me

>>6744536
suit yourself. in pop music, risk aversion is a career-killing error.

>>6744713
isn't the majority of hip-hop/pop music the exact same shit over and over though? and it's plenty popular
also its just a cover, i think you're argument is better suited towards eventual EP releases if they all sound the same and she doesn't do anything different

>>6744898
yes, her EP also has a strong smell of "safe" and "derivative".

>>6721285
Because VTubers is a Japanese thing. She's in EN because she can communicate in English with people who want Japanese things but don't speak Japanese.
And English songs are shit btw.

>>6693450
Chumkek boogeyman

>>6706154
>having a Holo JP singer with an EN label (IRyS), makes sense
It makes no sense. Just label IRyS Holo JP then. Or just watch Holo JP music, since it’s the same anyway.

>>6745749
But she speaks english on stream, how would that fit in HoloJP

For comparison purposes (same song from OP):

AZKi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VQx0MtsvSQ

IRyS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCf4mFiR--w

>>6692938
I never anticipated my shitty OC image to be used for a shitpost but oh well, enjoy it.

>>6745749
What this guy said >>6745886
She streams in EN hours (well, murrica hours, not EU except that one early EU morning stream) and speaks English. Her streaming time is pretty bad for JP. It'd be weird putting her in HoloJP.
She has been singing in Japanese because Cover probably realized that most of Western VTuber fans are weaboo to some extents, and weaboo don't really mind JP songs that much (if not outright prefer them over EN songs). Unlike JP Holos, she can and does communicate with them in English, and she sings what they'd like to hear (presumably).

>>6745886
>>6746220
1. So an EN viewer wants to listen to EN music.
2. But instead of EN songs, he is stuck with JP songs.
3. So he ultimately is forced to listen to AZKi sing instead of IRyS, because it’s better anyway.
Example here: >>6745971

>>6746540
But AZKi doesn't communicate in English, nor does she stream in EN hours, so she wouldn't be able to bond with those EN Viewers properly. That's where IRyS steps in. She might or might not be able to sing as well as the former, but she can communicate in English and build an EN fanbase. It's not like her activities consist of singing only anyway.

>>6715388
Why isn't this on her actual channel, numberchads can't boast if it's on some randos channel...

>>6743025
Well I figured eve with a poor conversion factor, it still put AZKi’s name out there to The EN audience. She isn’t going to get a better push elsewhere either.

But yeah, my idea was flawed from the start anyways. Idol Music needs the Idol front and center. Trying to market Taiyou Shojou without Duck or Ai Mai Chocolate without Sheep would be a waste of time.

>>6715921
Sorry are you being Gosling over Sora or Irys? I'm drunk and my reading comprehension is out the window right now.

Or look for actual vsingers outside hololive. /vt/ has its own /vsinger/ thread as well. It must be an impotent person who feels forced to listen to mediocre singers.

>>6752941

>>6754246
I think you misunderstood. You can get good singers to sing behind an anime girl, but that isn’t the only thing of value, and tends to be one aspect of the whole picture. Many enjoy Gura for more than the singing, which becomes a bonus. I view the singing as a bonus otherwise I would watch non-VTubers singing much better.

>>6755357
this fucker does a whole vsinger front all to just put in another nepotism hire
he should not be allowed to get away with this

>>6755846
You are correct that Gura's singing is only part of the package. But I am not here to talk about "who is our oshi" in general. I simply discuss the singing abilities of vtubers. It is up for people to decide how useful that is in their overall evaluation of a vtuber. Maybe they will watch the streams, or just check out the music due to lack of time, or not, it's their choice. For me personally, I have more time for music than 3-hour game streams. Music is a big part of why I became chumbud. When I put vtuber covers / music into the playlists, I don't give them special treatment. Either my ears like it or not, no matter whether a vtuber sang it. I won't pretend to like Gura's tin can voice in Reflect even if I am a chumbud. On the other hand, Hachi's Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari stands alongside other real covers, and she has sung so many different songs as well, more than most pre-vtuber utaites can boast of.

And people's interest in IRyS also makes many want to know where she stands musically (hence so many discussions), even if only out of curiosity alone.
