i didn't know about hololive until a few weeks ago, as a matter of fact they only reason i hear of them is because they have been trending in reddit, youtube and twitter
they are supposed to be idols
sure they are
but i wonder, could this work? i don't think the English speaking audience are going to be so receptive of it

Based on the interest in Kizuna Ai, I think they might do all right
oh i forgot about Kizuna Ai, didn't the VA got doxxed and quit?
sometimes i get recommended videos from Pekora (the rabbit) or Korone (the dog) and usually they have tons of English comments
also there are dozens of channels that translate hololive content so i guess there is definitely interest from international fans
but i think the real question is going to be if the Japanese fans are going to be interested in it, they seem to be the bulk of the fandom so this experiment is going to live or die by them

Idk as I don't follow her, but I know there's a youtube video about Kizuna Ai being controversial that's always in my recommendations (haven't seen that either).
It probably depends on if they're turned off by the English? The closest I can think of is Sally Amaki, but 22/7 aren't that big.
i don't follow Kizuna ai either but i hear of it because a member of hololive got doxxed a little ago
Mano Aloe
This is a Japanese name; the family name is Mano. Mano Aloe (魔乃アロエ, Mano Aroe) was a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its fifth generation of VTubers alongside Yukihana Lamy, Momosuzu Nene, Shishiro Botan and Omaru Polka. A headstrong, mischievous...

i hear of Sally, if i recall her company wasn't happy with her speaking English because they couldn't understand what she says, but i think they are allowing her for now?

There is the 2D familiarity with manga and anime at least!i don't follow Kizuna ai either but i hear of it because a member of hololive got doxxed a little ago
btw i think it would be weird if virtual j idols get popular in the west before the actual real onesMano Aloe

Re: Sally, I think part of it is her playing it up. Her company knows that she's given the group a lot of international attention, so even if they don't know what she's saying they let her be.

As a fan of Rushia and Hololive in general, it might be interesting to see how this will be recieved. Are there a lot of English speaking people that are willing to support them enough? We can only wait and see.

exciting
I'm pretty sure English fans are excited about it from what I can see in the subreddit and one of the 4th gen members, Kiryu Coco, speaks English and about half of her viewers are overseas

my favorite is Pekora, she is so smug and petty
her "AH↓ HA↑ HA↑ HA↑" laugh is something i didn't know i needed in my life
because their subreddit has 100k subscribers

and since i don't think people in Japan use reddit, i think a 100,000 big international fanbase sounds like a good start

it was in reddit that i saw the news, also lately several of the members of hololive became active as both mods/users of their subreddit, maybe it was on preparation of the new gen debut
isn't Coco from america? but you are right, she always speaks English in her streams
btw, they haven't debuted yet but hololive myth members channels already reached 50k subscribers each

Yes, Pekora is really nice!
It does sounds like a good start.
