He explained it on another video that EN is just too strong in terms of members and that's why he excludes them.

I mean it's kinda unfair to compare EN with JP.


Yeah, this kinda surprises me considering how unique she is. But I guess baby-types are too young even for the lolicons. I guess they appeal more to the fatherly and motherly types and they are kinda rare among the Vtuber listeners I presume.

Also 4th and 5th generation are still pretty recent, only Coco really made a huge breakthrough among them.

What's also interesting though is that members don't have much to do with how much they earn though. Coco is by fast the highest earner and Gura is actually pretty low for her high sub count.

Here are the SC earnings from February:

I think Luna scares off most fans... At first I kinda felt weird watching her and avoided her streams but later I saw how funny she can be and watched a bit more of her stuff. The new dress and hair designs for everyone kinda helped but Luna at full body has some weird long arms and legs. She is all over the place when you try to pin down what they are going for. He body does not match her baby face and voice at all.

EN is not too powerful that is a copout, EN just shows the true potential of where Hololive needs to set its goals. EN drags JP kicking and screaming to bigger numbers.

I got to go watch the EN collab can't fight that battle right now. she must have the riches fans

Same person is always TOPs on Super Chats (wait Coko beats Rushia? Shocker)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

EN collab delayed 30mins it would not be an EN collab without Skuff and tech issues but I bet this is Hotel Connection Ame.



what could they play that Ame cannot connect to I wonder?




can't wait to find out it was Ame




Don't Starve Together with Mods OH that would cause many delays

The Characters are too cute
I'll have to watch 5 VODs later to see where they all went

 

[Smiles and Cries]

That was too much TeeTee at the end, SNIFFLES


I really need to step up my Japanese learning the more I watch EN and how they get along the more I want to understand all the JP talent


OMG Ame


this video is going to make hundreds of clippers happy

gonna share this cuteness again just before she gets cancelled by America


She said Canada better than the voice from the program.


Must be English Season

For me it's just the baby behavior that turns me off (but her hand is also distracting lol). Her English lesson was kinda cute, I admit, but I can only take this an hour or two then I've enough for the month.

I prefer "real" Vtubers. The closer they feel like they are being like they are in real life, the more I like them usually. Though uniqueness also takes a big role.

EN is not too powerful that is a copout, EN just shows the true potential of where Hololive needs to set its goals. EN drags JP kicking and screaming to bigger numbers.

We discussed this before, but I do not think that EN members are better than JP members, I think they only get more subscribers because English reaches the whole world while Japanese only reaches Japan. So comparing subscriber counts is not a fair comparison.

The only "true potential" that EN shows is that there's a large potential audience in the west. But if all JP members would speak English fluently they'd have a much larger subscriber count by now.

Coco is actually the Top Superchatted person on all Youtube.

Rushia was more new information to me, but I can see why. She controls her fanbase quite well and gets them to be like "I love her and want to give her all my money". Gura is I guess the opposite to that, she has many fans, but most just enjoy watching and meme her but are not deeply in love with her.

Kanata is at the top for February because of her 342 attempt 26+ hours Sans marathon, she usually isn't that high.

Risu at the very bottom is kinda sad (except Mel, but Mel doesn't stream often, so it's expected). I guess she gets more money from membership though, as you need that for Ayunda DLC.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Mel has been more active lately, I've seen her in many collabs in recent months

plus this in an a few hours

 

[Rya.Reisender]

Mel has been more active lately, I've seen her in many collabs in recent months

She still only has very few streams, only like 7 streams per month. I guess 8 since she also has a monthly membership only stream. That's comparatively low to other Hololive members.

Great post you really nailed the Luna point she really painted herself into a corner with that character, she can't grow her channel with such a niche fetish
that has to be your thing to stomach it for more than an hour a month.

Yeah I guess Coco has always been up on the best super chat earner list she did get that expensive bed from her one fan after all.

Rushia is an interesting case, you'd think she is only known for I'M NOT FLAT! Screams but she makes a ton of money. It is kinda too bad most of them live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I heard vtubers make the most from merch sales. It is still fun to see Super Chats being tracked.

Gura is just happy to be here. I don't think western fans really fall in love with idols anyway.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

she is so cultured


this should be interesting



more english study


she is funny

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I am curious to why she streams so little compared to other members, maybe Kiara will ask some good questions
maybe she has money and does this for fun

 

[Rya.Reisender]

Just noticed this by chance, but Azki did an English-only stream today, feels almost like an English debut:

I posted that a few post above I noticed everyone is doing english lately


Oh Mel is Gen 1 did not notice she was first gen

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Kiara had Mel wear her latest outfit because Kiara feels she and Youtube have a shaky relationship boing boing Mel would have gotten her banned

Mel speaks a bit more English than most guest of HoloTalk

Oh Mel has a history of being banned often, no wonder she does not stream shadow banned too

 

[Labolas]

Seeing Gura cringe at herself is hilarious.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Seeing Gura cringe at herself is hilarious.

She was way too hard on herself that girl was nervous as hell and she created a classic debut stream.

I love how this stream also ended with skuff

interesting to learn her Debut Stream was copyright claimed for Ride on Time she brought that song back from the dead

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Gura will continue in 20 minutes


Does Ina get scared?

 

[Stitch]

We can all be VTubers now

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I am pretty sure Live2D is the software name so why did they put that on the discription unless these are the same people same company.?

 

[Stitch]

Live2D Cubism seems to be the Software that is used to make the Avatars and then you use this or a similar Software (Facerig also has a Live2D feature) to animate them.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Kiara's super chat streams are easier to watch than Ame's that is because I still don't know which website Ame uses for her Music listen along


A lot of random info from Kiara in these streams

I still want to creat some vtuber designs in the future and might even go all the way to doing it myself but I really don't like the trash looking designs lazy folks go with.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Just because she is cute



I really need to study Japanese again


A

 

[Smiles and Cries]

So Ame just got back home from this strange business trip. I wonder what she is hinting at.



Why does Coco bother to sing? She murders every song.



next meme

 

[Stitch]

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Ouch

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Oof


Hearing Ame Fu


she is almost fluent


welcome back Ame


she jumps back into APEX meh

someone is practicing Ame

 

[Rya.Reisender]

Gura is much better at Japanese than I expected. She knows nothing about grammar, but she can read Katakana faster than me lol.

Skipping half the topics and not reading any of the grammar hints under the "Tips" section unfortunately does not make you learn much on the Duolingo Japanese Course. (I wish the course had short stories like the English one.)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

The Secret



Oh she's going to quit this game in about in hour in


what we drinking Calli?


Lewd Kiara

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Collabs


UNO Collab soon

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Ironmouse does not get enough love. Or maybe I just don't know how to measure Twitch focused streamers with clip channels on youtube

 

[Labolas]

Ironmouse is one of the better ones in Vshoujo, for sure.

Also I know I'm late on this, but Gibara is graduating from Nijisanji.

 

[Rya.Reisender]

The Secret

The lagging Kiara looks a lot like a chicken; with the sudden head movements.

Kiara makes a bigger deal of keeping her "secret" than anyone else at Hololive I think. You would usually tell your family and the friends you can 100% trust. Doesn't it just mean Kiara doesn't trust anyone?

Also it's not like you can't find out Kiara's identity via Google if you really want to know.

Feels like Kiara needs to have luck that someone close to her & trustworthy finds out and then goes to her and be like "Well I know. I just want you to know that I know. I won't tell anyone, but feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to."

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Not really looking forward to one of my favorites to move on from vtuber life... I guess anyone below 600k could find something else they are happier doing.

Kiara is just on one of her many tangents, she make a big deal out of everything when she is reading super chats with KFP.
Her history in Japan is kinda sus, many issues, and rumors plagued her when she first started Hololive. Many boards had stories about her and who she was dating or banging. Also there are some weird cosplay wrestling videos on youtube of her dressed as Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Lot's of claims in the comments of that video that she later had a vlog rant that she was sexually molested during that event.

Kiara is pure drama, maybe she does have a hard time trusting, she speaks about being bullied in her past being made fun of, and mocked. So her success is an important victory for her, maybe her old friends are a bunch of losers she does not want to reconnect with and maybe that kind of money in Austria. Or she is just following the Hololive template of cutting as much of your old like off as you can. Only Kiara knows how much danger she could be in at any point. I do not take it lightly that any of these girls could become targets of blackmail or worse. Keeping to yourself is smart even if youtube and a bunch of Secret Knowledge cult-heads have found images, photos, and videos, and real names of everyone in Hololive.

She has a mom she had to tell, she has a roommate who found out. It might not be a big deal she has just been having a rough time with Youtube and her PC and lag so she might just be frustrated as well.

Cali is cute

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want to make sure I don't miss this tomorrow
I expect lots of Salt even without Ame

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Ame is playing Mario Sunshine now... I have a bad feeling

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Oof



Oof 2.0

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I think this is a meme question Gura answered something similar, did I not post it? Must have been live when I heard it



okay here is Gura

 

[Smiles and Cries]

KFP request from Pekora got Kiara excited


interesting info, she can't go to the JP server alone? Must be an invite?

Pekora wants KCP (last tasks she gives near the end half of this clip)

 

[Rya.Reisender]

I don't think subscriber count has anything to do with that.

You can only have 10 viewers and still love doing it. You can have millions of subscribers and still feel it's "work" and not "fun".

huh weird that they are playing actual UNO and not the bootleg version from clubhouse games

Yeah I was thinking about the money making the work worth the time but you are right you might still hate streaming and talking to strangeers all day

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I was expecting Kiara and 3 cardboard cutouts. I overslept so watching now

 

[Bernkastel]

Its sad that YouTube has disabled community captions. Newer Mochizuki Himari videos don't have english subtitles.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

that is cute


her fans really went all out going on Cameo

 

[Smiles and Cries]

in before it is deleted




She has not gotten too salty play Sunshine




Hmmm what is this Tako up to?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Shark loves this game for some reason


Kiara collab with Sheep I guess it will be in Japanese mostly in 11 hours


How are they sisters?

 

[Bernkastel]

Its sad that YouTube has disabled community captions. Newer Mochizuki Himari videos don't have english subtitles.

Worst part about that is at one point, she spent a lot to advertise herself foreign visitors.

 

[Rya.Reisender]

Classic Risu:

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Eh she something alright
