Are rumors of HoloEU real?

[Anonymous No.]

Lately there has been rumors that Hololive is going to release a gen of EU based Vtubers to better cater to the EU timezone. And now there has been graduations of multiple European Vtubers (Reiny, Shizukou, and Yuniiho). Any chance this is real? Would this be a good idea?

Also, for those that would say they wouldn't release a new gen so soon after Advent (its been 6-7 months) there are three things to consider:
1. Just because they are graduating now doesn't mean they will debut soon. Hololive has a long training period for new talents even ones that have been in the industry a long time.
2. EN4 could be coming sooner than usual since Advent was very obviously delayed. They could be making up for lost time and releasing a new gen 9-11 months after the last instead of waiting for more than a year as usual.
3. There is no guarantee that a HoloEU would even be EN4, it could potentially be a new branch similar to how DEV_IS is its own thing.

If that were the case morning streams would be swimming in donos and memberships. But when those happen they have lower ccv, lower donos, and lower memberships. Not just something that applies to hololive, nijisanji and indies also experience that. It's because the euro timezone has a lot less english speakers free to watch something. It's a geographic thing, it's harder to get more eyes on you with that timezone. Europe is also fucked with inflation and spending less, and or english isn't their first language. Americans are working.

Yuros as a whole spend a small fraction on merch and the like when compared to the US, despite the US having far less people. You guys will be lucky to get another Yuro girl in EN4 and the rest will be American, Canadian, or AUS/NZ. Canadians can just blend in with Americans, and Aussies can stream on JP time just fine. My guess is if Holo does bring another Yuro girl, she'll be British.

They are technically an untapped market but they are also a very small market since they are divided up by language. There's a reason YouTubers default to English even if they are dutch, german or swedish. Look at Kiara for an example that is already there. Kiara also got shocked at her numbers when she streamed at US prime time as she normally starts when people are at work or at school in the US. US prime time is 5pm PST as everyone is awake at that time.

Yes exactly this. This is exactly what cover told me. They said they don’t have management staff to cover EU hours which is why they never had EU based vtubers before. But now they have been actively recruiting cover staff in EU (as well as Vtubers.)

There is no EU demand for vtubers. The ones you see complain are a very loud minority.
On Twitch, there is a tool that streamers can publicly display to show where viewers are from. Vtubers who stream at EU hours still has a 70% majority US audience.

I give you a non troll answer.
EU is extremely segregated when it comes to mindshare. You have to hit different markets, and they all prefer different things despite living in the same timezones. French streamsphere is its own thing. German streamsphere is in its own bubble. Italy streamsphere has their own cliques. Even if, they managed to get an autistic girl that plays nothing but simulator games that grab the german viewship, it does not translate viewership for Turkey nor Sweden for example.
The only safe play is to pander the Youkay, even then, they won't have as much pull for the normies. Maybe a premier league watchalong chuuba can mix things up. Maybe DOTA streamer since its the only videogame that EU as a whole can enjoy watching.

SEA is a safe bet since they all just eat up whatever nippon slop they can get, its easier to market, and the audience are well versed with Japan. EU is too diversified for a solid strategy, and they had to stream on the worst time slot possible for both Asia and NA. Even HoloES is a much better angle to market the new holos.

He's right. America is a big unified "group" if that makes sense. In America, everyone can understand pop and cultural references, politics, history, meme, and stuff like that. A dude from California knows a bit about Texas stuff and vice versa. In Europe, a dude from Italy has no idea if not the name of the premier if he's an educated guy about let's say Germany political landscape, let alone other aspects of their culture aside from basic historical knowledge even Americans know. So a vtuber from Germany is gonna resonate way more with a German person than let's say a vtuber from California is gonna resonate with a California denizen.

You have to cultivate an audience though.
As a EU, I can say that I just got used watching VODs, since the vtubers I like don't streams at EU hours and forcing myself to watch someone I enjoy less simply because they are live don't appeal to me.
If a vtuber that I like streamed during hours I could actually watch live consistently then they could become part of a routine, and by degrees maybe even push myself to be more active with superchats and the like.

I was about to say. Many European countries have become very anglicized over the decades. The advent of the internet has only solidified the desire to consume US over local entertainment.

Apart from that, European countries still diverge heavily when it comes to laws and licensing. Cover only needs one team of lawyers to represent most of their English speaking talents. They'd have to invest a lot more into the backstage.

For instance, streamers that exceed a certain number of CCV regularly need to apply for an official broadcasting license in Germany. They'd have to pay for it on a yearly basis, just like a full blown TV station. Why would Cover want to deal with that if they could just hire yet another Bri'ish girl?

I'm genuinely not sure if people just don't know much about vtubers here, or there's simply no interest in them. Even in the local weeb culture it hasn't managed to take off, you can't find vtuber cosplayers on cons, nobody gets the references, maybe on a surface level people know who Korone is thanks the the youtube algorithm, but I've met maybe 4-5 people who were actually interested in this scene. Also I feel like people still have a moral issue with streaming culture as a whole, especially when it comes to superchatting. You'd get shit on here so bad if people realized that you're watching vtubers, let alone if youre sending money to them. Regardless, if they managed to cover those timezones, it would become profitable in no time, I mean consider that they keep the stars too despite them making way less money, simply because expanding their reach is the best business strategy overall, you can't just stand on one leg forever. Europe is an untapped marked, but if they do change that, I can only assume that it's going to be a third rate side branch around as important as ID or perhaps even less. They would just be streaming in English anyway, there's zero point using another language, maybe as some special streams or teaching others about European cultures. They should hire a girl from each Balkan country and make them do a collab every week. Though as I noticed they go for Asian descendants anyway, like half of HoloEN.

They won't make an EU branch, it would just be members of HoloEN from Europe with streaming times that cover those hours.
>Though as I noticed they go for Asian descendants anyway, like half of HoloEN.
HoloEN is probably the vtuber agency with the lowest ratio Asian descendants of all. It's just that Asian descendants are massively more likely to watch (and try to be) vtubers compared to their population in western countries.

Indeed, starting up a vtuber may be expensive but not for a corporation as big as Cover, and maintaining them costs pretty much no money. Considering that a Hololive girl is pretty much insta 100k subscriber even if they never do a stream after their debut, the youtube revenue itself most likely covers the whole cost in a few months at worst. At this point they simply cannot be not successful when it comes to debuting new chubas, everyone will be profitable. Maybe them getting 3D won't be prioritized, but remember that back then holos got 3D after reaching 100k subs, so that's probably not that big of an issue either. And there's absolutely enough presence in EU to sell out whatever kind of limited merch, even if it's overall a smaller market than NA or JP. They just need to make it more convenient and burn geekjack the fuck down.

That's what I meant as well, but that's practically HoloEU, just without the name change. Launching an entirely different branch would be silly considering the relative failure of DEV_IS. They don't have to be le creatividad, just do what they always do and success is practically inevitable.

By failure I meant pointless, and failure in a sense of having distinguishing features.

Of course, they're still immensely successful and make a huge amount of money, but I still don't get the concept behind the new branch. Even if Cover do debut a HoloEU gen, every member will mainly be speaking in English, so people are just gonna refer to them as a less successful HoloEN gen 4, but if they launch them as the actual gen 4, they're gonna get the usual audience boost at the beginning.

I believe that live interaction and availability is a strong driver for viewership and eventually purchase/membership. "Simply" catering to the time zone would do a lot.

As for merch, not fucking over fans in the region with import taxes and shipping would also open wallets.

Yagoo recently said that live interaction is a vital part of making their content enjoyable, and people won't become fans if they don't have access to that, specifically in the context of Europe. In other words, he believes VODs don't compensate for a lack of streams, which I completely agree with.

Regardless of whether it would be profitable or not, Cover is currently in the best position financially to attempt this. If it's not as big, then they can still play the long game and build the audience slowly and just treat the initial capital to branch out as a long term investment. But imagine if they again caught a lightning in a bottle with it. Just pray that whoever they debut would be star talent (comparatively, at least). Once they get EU, they'd have total timezone domination for VTubers. If they still had a "good" CN branch, they'd also have language domination.

>due to all the different languages
Do you like, expect to get chuubas that speak each different language in Europe, if you get HoloEU? Just the European Union subset has 24 official languages ( https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/languages_en ).
>holoID tier viewership
For everyone involved except /#/ niggers those are good numbers
>streaming in English because it would be more sustainable
yes, but that's not all black and white. HoloJP seems to be working fine without speaking English.

If you make a vtuber who speaks in French, your watchers will be from all over the ex-french colonies. It's a problem that most of them are 3rd world niggerfests that don't have even internet.
In Spanish, your main audience will be South-American. There are already many vtubers who broadcast in Spanish. Not rich, but they got at least internet and mobiles to watch youtube.

Now is not a good moment to invest 'big money' in Europe in leisure companies because, if you bothered opening any economics newslet, you'd read about the impending economic crisis that's about to get into Europe. We are getting ready for another oil price increase the following months, war in Ukraine is going horribly wrong for everybody (except for USA), royal state market is about to crash (again), free money from venture companies (mainly oil countries) has evaporated.

reminds me of a quote from my professor.

yeah, even if holoEU flops on debut, they can sit on yagoo's money cushion and build the audience bit by bit. yagoo has shown that he can support the weakest talents and branches as long as there's potential. happened to holostars, aki, anya, etc. inb4 "holostars kek", they're definitely top <1% streamer in terms of views and they have a dedicated, albeit different core fanbase.

Euro weebs want streams in English. The demographic Cover are targeting have the best English proficiency in the world and literally already watch more English streams than NA does (just not hololive ones, because they don't exist). Literally all people want is EN members that stream 6 hours earlier.

eu is one of the few regions in the world with zero tolerance vat/tax for non-eu merchandise. if the merchant hasn't collected vat in advance via ioss on your €1 item (postage goes into value too) then you're going to shell out extra €0.20 in vat and €7 in handling (or €20 for couriers like dhl bc they outsource handling to scums). local postals in my country cranked the retardation to 11 at first, robbing €1 per ioss item

What is this autistic burger bullshit? Most of biggest Twitch vtubers are EU and stream at EU hours. Plenty of smaller corps have EU vtubers being very successful.

Yes Europeans SC less because there is no tipping culture in Europe but SC are like 10% of corpo vtubers revenue anyways.

Live streams are worse than edited videos. The only reason people put up with that is because they get live interaction as a tradeoff, so if you only have VODs you're just getting a worse experience with nothing to show for it. This is why Twitch doesn't even keep VODs, outside of people who missed the occasional stream nobody actually wants them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69240309
Nta but live streams are only worse when it's not an interactive focused stream. Hololive likely can't use it, but things like randomizers and Crowd Control are widely popular and promote viewer interaction while having the option to gain revenue. Edited videos are only good for gameplay heavy streams where you can cut all the boring parts out like being lost for an hour or failing the same level 30 times

yes indeed, I save for my E2+S1+ Sparkle as of now and can't let chuubas distract me
>Europoors don't have the benefit of a unified language
Does a German person like Kiara for example not reach a large audience? We do understand EN streams and expect the common EU weeb to understand JP better than the common US weeb since we're used to the concept of literally learning a language
>Europoors hate each other more than different US states
We would prefer the Fr*nch over non-European. Europeans love Europe. Most of us travel all over Europe just for fun and enjoy the Med sun, the Scandi winter, cities between Lisbon and Warsaw. You confuse internet banter with hate, but I read many American posts at this point and I'm aware that they are genuinely too retarded when it comes to banter.
