I watched a couple of Kizuna Ai videos a few years ago then completely forgot about the whole things. On August 2020, I did a quick google to see what is going on with her channel and found out about the new company, VA changes… YouTube started to recommend me some Hololive clips; a few days later I began to watch them live.
Graduation
In Japanese idol culture, an idol celebrate their retirement with a graduation ceremony to say goodbyes to their fan. In the context of vtubers, it’s more like the final day of a job before they move to another job. The character they used to play is dead, they’re getting a new one.
In theory, it should be the same as an end of beloved TV or book series. Yet I felt different. For whatever reason, the whole thing feels artificial, it isn’t authentic or sincere to me.
I also didn’t like the fact that they advertised and continued selling new merchandises for graduated members.
Casual Watching
I don’t follow anyone on twitter, so I don’t know about their schedules. I just let YouTube recommend me when they stream online.
Gura 3D
It was short but sweet concert. Sure, the conversations were cringy, but I had a lot fun watching.
Hololive EN Gen 3
It has been 2 years since the last Hololive EN debutted and the hype was justified. I subscribed to the diamond dogs.
