You know, I think it's unfair to judge someone's sexyness or atractiveness from fanart.
In the end you pick the artist or piece that better suits your tastes.
But body shape, proportions, personality, attitude, expressions are off most of the time.
It should be done on official art alone.

Sora and hot weather

Sora’s so cool

>>82316935
So true

Aqua has confirmed that she will be graduating on August 28th

>>82318921
Holy shit

We can't survive this. I know this is a bit selfish of me to say but good luck bumpertomos. It's ok to let this thread die and make a new one when things calm down.

>>82318921
Holy shit. The two daitenshis of hololive...

It's probably not a big deal, but the reasoning does concern me

>>82324515
I've been thinking about it too.
>the company and I have a difference in opinion in our road forward
We won't know unless more members start graduating to see if it's really bad. It makes me wonder if we'll really have Sora until her 10th or 15th anniversary (like she wants). Things could be going bad behind the scenes. Usually, I feel bulletproof as a Soratomo when the topic of graduations come up, but now I'm not feeling as invincible as I used to.

Let's enjoy Sora as much as we can, just in case.

>>82324515
I’d say it’s on brand given the company’s history of flailing around and see what idea works

Hololive’s success honestly was multiple strokes of pure luck when you think about it

I love Soda!

>>82325311
The problem with
>The company and I have differences in opinion in our road forward
is that its the most generic harmless explanation for why one would quit. It doesn't really paint any side in the negative, because the "root cause" is just a difference in opinion.

Guess we're drinking tonight

>>82325332
>Hololive’s success honestly was multiple strokes of pure luck when you think about it
Hiring Sora was a huge one. I'm not sure Hololive would've survived the early months if someone else had been their first member.

>>82325805
True but it's worrying that Cover couldn't come to an agreement with someone who's been with them for 6 years and is one of their most popular and recognisable talents. It makes me concerned that things are shifting behind the scenes in a way that not everyone is going to be able to tolerate.

No timestamp but >>82322771 is saying Marine said it's workload-related. I think the confusing thing for fans would be that Cover seems to be willing to let the talents idle if they want or need to. So for there to be a major disagreement in direction is hard to reconcile.

>>82327642
Aqua has usually been one of Cover's go to's for promotions and events, she's popular for her streams and her singing. I imagine Aqua historically enjoyed casually streaming more than she did the necessities of being one of the brand faces.

Totally unrelated but I'm watching KMNZ stream right now and there's one Soratomo in the chat.

>>82327642
The only right answer because Hololive don't change their direction but they only got busier and can no longer afford too many idle talents, the likes of Ayame and Shion probably would go next, if Hololive actually change their direction from being idol then Sora would be the first one to quit then it's clear that Hololive already got taken over

So now what?

>>82325311
If it weren't for her comment about the direction, I'd just say 6 years is a good run and wish aqua the best on future endeavors.
I hope Cover will remain a place where Sora will want to stay at.

>>82349667
I’d feel that as long as Sora gets to perform she’ll stay, which was ironically the thing Aqua got tired of

>>82349667
>I hope Cover will remain a place where Sora will want to stay at.
The only time she ever got mad/complaint at the company was during the holocaust, Sora lives in her own world doing her own thing, so I wouldn't worry about Sora but the others probably have to "fight" with the management over projects etc, it woud be great if Sora can become an active leader for everyone esp now that A-chan is gone but Sora doesn't seem interested in company politics and doesn't care really as long as she can do whatever she wants

>>82351393
But Aqua loves doing idol activities tho?

>>82351634
Man, that sounds like me…

I hope Soda will collab with akutan this month

>>82351792
From what others said, she reached her personal limit.

>>82352557
I think there is already a plan for that, also I noticed during ARK event that Aqua initiate some interaction with Sora, I already find it weird at that time but didn't think too much about it

>>82352837
There are many kind of works outside of streaming and I don't see her doing many stage performances, it's most likely bunch of PR shilling work

>>82367888
Ah, the konsome I needed

I'll just make one comment on Aqua and leave it at that. I would bet that the youngest girls graduate first. To enjoy their youth and money and explore the world and opportunities. 6 years is a long time to do one job in your 20s, especially if you started in your teens.
Aqua will be sorely missed but I wish her all the best.

I don't know if I posted it the other day but when during the monday stream, explaining the single release information, there were over 4k viewers until the later parts.
That's weird for an general information stream
I'd thought 1500-2000 tops
Right now we have 2800 for Yume Nikki. That sounds about right for a gaming stream.
But 4k listening to the single release info? I don't get it

>>82407879
Maybe she just can't think of other examples of struggling because of change, I mean while we don't really know what is this change that made Aqua struggle but I don't think it's similar like Sora changed to stream from home because she feels distant and different compared to her kouhais also due to COVID

>>82408302
Whatever the change is, the other holomems being resolute about staying has calmed my worries.
Hololive will be lesser for not having her, but hopefully things work out for everyone.

>>82410553
>the other holomems being resolute about staying
Is that so? Then the others think that whatever the change is fair enough

>>82377434
thanks, I got my tickets for both days

>>82408302
Sora meant in the way how she had to make the decision to change the way she produced content from pre-recorded studio videos to live streaming.
In hindsight, it was the right choice with how COVID affected the world but at the time she was really at a loss what to do. The song she sang then is her commitment to us and why it's known as a milestone song.
But, she's only sang it once this year...

>>82413347
Hell yeah. What a music packed weekend.
Are you going to dress up for breaking dimensions? Suit and tie, maybe borrow one of Sora's handkerchief for a pocket square

>>82414117
>pre-recorded studio videos
She was streaming from the studio

>>82414577
Everyone gets or has an unofficial happi whenever there's an event for them. I thought you might have been going choosing to rep her at Soar, but Irys for BD is a solid choice

>>82414757
NTA but Sora did a mixture of both. She did a lot more videos in the past.

>>82415079
Most of prerecorded videos are shill videos

Do you think it's realistic to expect Sora to be here for at least ten years?

>>82448345
Getting to her 10 year anni is a for sure thing, ten more years? I believe in her

>>82408302
From a reddit loremastertomo:
I'm an avid Sora fan so I'll give some clarification.

Before the announcement she was involved in quite a bit of different entertainment related videos. More of a host role for projects really unrelated to music and her initial goal. She was playing with her mascot Ankimo a lot and did stuff like Halloween specials, Christmas specials, Quiz shows. But as she continues mentioning, her goal is to be an idol and sing at Yokohama arena.

In the announcement, she says that the frequency of these entertainment/comedy programs and some future regular streams will be cancelled. And that she will focus on music with dance lessons, song lessons, etc. Sora mentions how the Tokino Sora that everyone wants is not the Sora she wants to become. She will still stream but her personality might be a bit different than what viewers are used to. But Tokino Sora will continue to be Tokino Sora, both in the past and future. It was a huge deal for her and hololive, as Sora was their flag ship everyone loved. But hololive decided to accept Sora's decision and support her all the way. Probably the reason why hololive vaguely pushes it's members as idols.

Since then she held solo lives, released albums, and her personality did change a bit. But she is still Tokino Sora at heart. Mentioned in most recent stream that if she didn't change how she did things, she wouldn't be here today.

>>82478104
This is old news for oldtomos, Sora already explained it on that important stream where she also announced her first one-man, she also said about this iirc during her totsu after reaching 1mil subs on how she just does anything at that time and that she just endure and do it because it's necessary for Hololive's survival at that time and that she somehow already had some kind of line of 2 years if things can't change then she probably would've quit but thankfully the other member start to rise then Sora can finally fully focused on her dream, but anyway it doesn't same at all, the conditions and circumstances are vastly different and I really can't think of anything of this change that burdened Aqua when she is one of talent that doesn't really trying to push limits and she also love idol things, "too much work" is not really a good reason either because I don't think they are forced to take every job offers, not to mention there are still some talent with a lot of break and hiatus which Aqua herself was one of those talent and since Hololive already so big it's not even a problem for a talent like Aqua to take long break

>>82479219
Polka doesn't understand it either
>admittedly Im not close to Aqua at all but I know Botan is
>I dont really understand what she means by creative differences with the company, but its not for me to pry into
>If Aqua knows whats best for her, then I can only wish the best for her and her future pursuits
>as for me Im quite comfortable here

On that note, so other talents comments
> Suisei : “ It’s because Cover had grown this large that I’ve been given so many opportunities. I don’t think only prioritizing what the talents want is the right approach.”
> Marine : “ If possible I’d like to stay In Hololive for life. This is the only place a baba like me can be considered an idol “
> Noel : “ I want to be in Holo even when I’m old and saggy”
> Miko : “ I have no skills to offer society. I’m so grateful I found this job”
> Pekora : “ Are there any other jobs where I don’t have to talk to people? No? Then I’m going to do this until the end”

Aww Sora didnt call into akutan's sixth anniversary totsu
Unlimited signed merch btw. She'll be signing for months

>>82480291
I'm casual, only focused on Sora so I'll just trust your words and thanks for your work, based on other talent's comments, probably there more into it and Aqua probably just tired of being vtuber and wanted to do something else or whatever, if that's true I would rather that she said it just like that than going with this "creative difference" reason, honestly

At first she kept them for consistency, but they got erased a little after getting the model to reveal a mole on her cheek.
