I only bother to learn about VTubers when they get through the hololive auditions, even though that's not really a fully sufficient filter, it helps. There are so many VTubers now. Are there any suspected candidates for next gen based on indie activities and other companies?

Spanish members would draw a big crowd to hololive I think.

>almost a year before debut.
Let's give some context.

Shiori's pl was thinking about quitting vtubing, sounding sad and depressed, in december 22. She evidently was not in hololive yet. She graduated the 30th of may, and by then everything was advanced enough that she used Shiori assets for her graduation stream. She would eventually debut the 31th of july.
Even assuming the maximum possible time, we are looking at 8 months at most.
Now of course it is possible that given her experience she got a reduced training camp, and we can't tell precisely when she applied nor when she was accepted, but 8 months is the most. We can also tell that whatever training she did it was light enough that she kept the other channel.

FWMC graduated in early november, but I wasn't following them so I don't know if they did anything else between then and now, if the graduation was because of contracts etc.
Assuming they quit and went straight to holo as soon as they were accepted, it's 9 months of training.

Biboo's pl graduated 10 days before Shiori. Since I don't believe in coincidences, I believe that talents go through light training from when they get accepted until a couple of months before debuting, where things ramp up and they get their model and everything else.

Nerissa's pl last video was 6 months ago, she was doomposting around may-april 2023 so she might anxious due to training. Honestly I can't really make sense of it and I have to work now so I can't dig too much.


Anyway, those are some times.

I would not be surprised. Cover has been staring at this 6 hour gap in their schedule for years and they’ve only doubled and tripled down on ignoring it.

I think OP has made the mistake of looking at things Cover is saying publicly (that EN is for "global expansion" and "is not HoloUSA", Yagoo saying they saw Europe as a viable market) and believing that would translate into streams they could watch, which is of course wrong, as EN management don't read their emails and believe their target market is the state of California

>> No.67542499

>>67537624
HoloES might make sense (It's the second language spoken by most native people) but HoloFR or HoloDE?
For reference:
Indonesia has around 270 million people
Germany has 84 million people
France has 68 million people

HoloID aren't as relevant, and even their gens are made of 3 people instead of 5. If we directly apply that to Germany or France, you would get a "gen" made of only 1 talent. Finding 3 good talents in those countries would take time, and having to line up 3 of them for their debut would simply not be viable. They are not going to have someone on hold for a year while they find 2 other members.
I'm sure those gens would probably be a one time thing. There's not going to be a new HoloFR every one or two years. Unless Hololive changes their approach, so that these branches operate without gens and talents can just join whenever it's convenient.

They’ve specifically hired girls who live in Europe.

>>67539156
Training is actually 6 months-ish. The reason EN3 took so long is because someone (Shondo) dropped out. But yes you’re essentially right. It’s not a year long by any means.

>>67539548
She’ll be in EN4.

>>67541643
They have in the past and she dropped out because the waiting time until debut was too long and they wanted her to graduate and wait.

Before everyone is like SOURCE??? you'll have to believe it’s all a rrat, because I heard this from my Vtuber friends who have interviewed with Hololive both for EN3 and upcoming EN4. I can’t mention names but you can screencapped this and share it ever there once EN4 EU chuubas debut.

Well now I’m leaking it all it’s possible she could get fired, like the Niji guy… but other anons mentioned her in the previous thread, so I’m pretty sure she’s told all of her Vtuber friends already.

>>67542733
A friend of mine who was interviewed by Holo was told that the reason they don’t have EU chuubas at the moment is because there aren’t any staff in that timezone at the moment, but it’s a opening in the market that they want to fill. This is proved by their hiring of EU staff.

As for whether they’re ethnically white?? I can’t say, but they live in Europe for sure.

I'll be honest, I don't believe it. Nerissa is wholly different from Shondo, and FWMC is so unique as dual chuuba that it doesn't seem a replacement as well. Shiori had so much input in her design that it seems impossible she was a replacement. But it is true she talked about God giving her a gun so maybe...

Did this vtuber tell you who replaced Shondo and how advanced the talks were?

>> No.67543325

>>67543201
It was Shiori who replaced Shondo
Holo often keeps people as back ups, and Shiori was unfortunately a back up
Apparently it’s because they wanted Shondo to graduate but they didn’t give her an exact date of when she would debut, they told her it could take up to a year, so she dropped out

That’s all I know, I’m sorry. I can’t confirm whether it’s true or not because it’s only what I was told, but other friends who were interviewed by Holo were told the same thing in the interview, that it could take a year for them to debut and they may have to wait a very long time if someone drops out after the graduation month and before debut month.

How do you even market that in 2024? "Hey, we've been ignoring you for 4 years but you can have streams now"? I don't think the reaction is going to be as positive as they expect, or as they would have got in 2021 or 2022.

The EN members who do semi-regularly dip into that time slot pretty noticeably put their less popular streams there, too. Like FWMC do some euro hours streams, but they're all VNs and superchat reading, stuff they already know will get fewer viewers.

HoloEN needs a few experienced veterans to shore up the diamonds in the rough.

Unless Pomu shows up in the next few months at VShojo, she's a lock for Holo EN4.

HoloEN also does not need more people streaming video games at NA primetime, there's already more of that than people can watch. They should be prioritising people with a unique niche or who can appeal to markets they're not already covering (and yes, that includes EU primetime).

Holo hiring an ex NijiJP when they were a small unknown company is completely different and you know it.

If you want to aim for the top, you go to Hololive.

If you ran a business yourself you wouldn't over-extend by developing too many flavors and alternative packaging. You wouldn't produce more new variations that don't fundamentally change the product or target a new section of the market.
So why do anons keep making suggestions along those lines? Even if it doesn't cause financial problems for the company it will be taken as "proof" that expansion is no longer feasible.
Hopefully they actually focus on expanding the kinds of entertainment they provide instead of just providing more of it. But I understand most anons are too selfish to take their head out of their ass for five seconds before posting their great ideas.

Exactly. That's what a technicality is. It's like when streamers bitch and moan at their viewers and pull the "pro" card because they technically do get paid to play video games. But there's no reason to respect it more than anyone else. Big indies will always have more actual hands on experience in any type of content creation if you want to make an experience argument.

French, German, and Spanish will most likely earn more money than Indonesian. But speaking English is the safest bet even if they would make a HoloEU branch.

Austria? Switzerland? a lot of people on the continent being GSLs instead of ESLs? it could work in theory, but they still have to be better than the indie scene

I'm not going to watch Kiara because I don't like Kiara. That doesn't mean I dislike Hololive as a group.

I mean, for a lot of people the primary reason they're not interested in hololive is that they're functionally impossible to watch live, which is a problem for a group largely focused on live streaming. People will argue VODs are just as good, but they're not, which is why people also complain about overlap and why the schedules exist in the first place.

can't speak for everyone of course, but the atrocious rigging filters me from even clipfagging holos. quite a shame, some of them have really amazing fanart otherwise

Did you time travel here directly from 2019 or are you just one of those people who thinks making every part of the model constantly bounce and shake like it's made of jello in an earthquake is "better"

it's not about bounciness, it's how weirdly their face moves with their heads, it's actually uncanny valley for me.

That's not related to the tech though, that's down to the original rigger, and the only ones I remember being bad are Gura and Anya. Fuwamoco in particular have really good rigging and are very expressive.

I tried watching Mumei mainly because she also has amber eyes... tried being the operating word.
