【ENG】Izuru finds a Hakka fan IRL and immediately flees【HOLOSTARS】

[@alexandriaorcld6365]

a lot of people didn't realize how good izuru was at english until the rust arc. thanks for this clip!

[@_starIine_]

Izuru's enthusiastic English is so cute!! Love and peace! But now I can't help imagining izuru observing his fans in public like a wildlife photographer lmao

[@MatheusNiisama]

That last line from Hakka is the exact type of self destructive enthusiasm I've come to expect and love Hakka for.

[@dalgona4819]

izuru speaking english to communicate with kouhais is so cute

[@vvaleddy]

On the other hand, the Tempus boys having negative japanese knowledge is a real tragedy. They need to watch more anime or something.

[@adrimarsink]

@@vvaleddy Yatogami Fuma (UPROAR leader) once said in one of his earlier streams that he didn't want the kaigainiki to learn Japanese because he will be the one who will be learning English. From the looks of it, the JP boys are willing to learn English to communicate w/ their global fans and those who can't speak Japanese. How is the Tempus boys not being good at Japanese a "tragedy"? Japanese is a difficult language to learn, even Japanese themselves don't memorize all 2K Kanji characters required for fluency. It's not as if their senpais or the JP fans require them to learn Japanese in the first place anyway. Plus Axel's Japanese is pretty much native level, Vesper is brushing up from the Japanese he studied from college (he used to do Japanese learning streams by translating his senpais' tweets w/o using a translator), Flayon and Hakka occasionally do Japanese Duolingo streams, Altare, Dez, and Shinri can pick up some Japanese and try to use them to communicate w/ their senpais (though the senpais never really respond to them in Japanese in return), not sure abt Bettel. Even Temma is willing to teach the Tempus Japanese if they're interested. In short, Holostars (both JP and EN) are doing their best to communicate as much as they can and learn from each other. Honestly, learning Japanese just by watching anime won't work either. Immersion is the best way to learn any language imo.

[@vvaleddy]

@@adrimarsink tragedy but not in the literal sense of the word. And ofc watching anime barely helps... So far, Axel is further proof that speaking japanese is a getaway to bigger things. Vsaikyo and later the RUST server were big opportunities to connect with a lot of people outside Holopro. But even if the senpai never learn english and Tempus never learn japanese everyone will be fine.

[@adrimarsink]

@@vvaleddy So why make that comment in the first place? Or were you just trolling? Did you watch any of the RUST clips other than this Izuru-Hakka clip? Or even watched any of the JP boys' bday/anniversary streams where some of the Tempus boys actually greeted their senpais in Japanese? Axel, per his past zatsus, is a native Japanese speaker and didn't learn or speak English until he was in his 3rd-4th yr of his primary school, so Japanese was his first language, English being second. The boys (both sides) are doing fine the way they are now. Barriers such as the language barriers we're seeing right now only brings both sides closer to each other.

[@vvaleddy]

@@adrimarsink I was talking about the VCR RUST server. And I wrote the comment because I can. If you want to do a bad faith interpretation of said comment that's on you.

[@AnthonyYang002]

That one Japanese Hakkito hearing this going through her memories trying to remember all the people she saw earlier that day rn gotta be going through it knowing Izuru was right there

[@darkeye457]

There was also Hakka girl fan on the HoloExpo and made Hakka flustered This dude has the latino rizz but doesn't know how to use it properly (at least he tries to rizz up aunts)

[@tytanyx]

Apparently it might have been the same fan. She showed off the bag on twitter some time back but didn't realize she was spotted until recently when someone pointed out this clip.

[@kiss-shot_is_bae]

The moment he learns how to use it it's over for all of us because he will unleash his full power

[@Laury2Seas]

Izuru, your heart is so big. We love you! Hakka, protect that man's heart.

[@adrimarsink]

Noting on the ID photo Izuru was talking about - could he be talking abt Hakka's guild card? It was sold as part of the Tempus half-anniversary merch, but preorders had long been expired a few months ago. Also, the good thing from this meeting is that even though everyone raided (or attempted to raid) his PP Mansion, he and the Tempus boys (except Flayon, but they were by accident LOL) never killed each other face to face during PvP.

[@Swarmish]

It seems like so many jp girls like Hakka. There's so many possible reasons, but I do wonder what they like about him specifically. And also what they think about the other boys

[@adrimarsink]

Altare has abt 3-4 JP girls who are regulars on his streams. There's also a few JP girls on Vesper's streams too. Quite a lot on Axel's streams (esp. when he does Japanese-only streams). None on Dez (time zones/language barrier), Flay has quite a lot of JP fangirls on Twitter (based on the fanart surge on the JP side of him). Dunno abt Betsy or Shinri. Bottom line is, Tempus boys do have JP fans. As Izuru said in the video, the language barrier + not enough official merch are probably the main reasons why the EN boys don't have as much JP fans, or that they're rarely seen in Japan. And also seeing that Hakkito girl irl made Izuru happy, shows how much he supports the EN boys as much as he supports his fellow boys too.

[@qptarakomayo]

⁠@@adrimarsinkas a japanese I know every single tempus has several jp fans. if you haven't seen jp chatter in magni, bettel or shinri, we just lurk and use english not to scare who having almost zero knowledge of japanese. also singers like axel or hakka can reach out to ppl despite of language barrier.

[@adrimarsink]

@@qptarakomayo I believe it👍

[@Mara_1337]

That's so cute! Very sweet of him to tell Hakka about it, I am sure he felt happy to hear there is such a dedicated fan in japan ❤ Now makes me wanna do an Itabag aswell, but I don't like the main colour of my oshi as a clothes/accessoire colour 💀

[@theoverlordbear]

And now Stars EN has this upcoming collab with ohmonah.

[@Mara_1337]

What's that? Like a store or smth?

[@theoverlordbear]

@@Mara_1337 An apparel brand. First time I knew about it was when Axel Retweeted the announcement Tweet for the collab.

[@CrowitzerTheHoloFan]

Myth with Omocat Tempus with Ohmonah

[@adrimarsink]

Ohmonah is an American "kawaii" brand that sells original-designed clothing, accessories, and other merch and does collabs w/ other themes (ex. Nekopara, etc.). They do pop-ups at anime conventions around the U.S. I knew abt them b/c I bought a plushie for my nephew from them when I went to my local anime con last year.

[@theoverlordbear]

@@adrimarsink Thanks very much for the notes! :D

[@LynneTendo]

Thank you so much for the subs!! I'm so glad someone TLd this 😭 seriously because like... I saw that the Stars JP still had that distant, hard-to-approach feel to some EN-only viewers, and one of the bazillion reasons RUST made me so happy was that it showed them dead-on that the JP Stars are also a bunch of sweet hilarious dorks. All that goes for Izuchama especially!!! I loved hearing more about his Hakka Itabag sighting, AND I LOVE THAT YOU INCLUDED THE PART WITH HAKKA IN THE END, I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THAT CHOICE LMAO also, Izuru with his lively retelling of how he hid when he spotted the fan makes me imagine he saw the bag and immediately jumped into the nearest bush with arms first like an anime comedy moment of hiding WW

[@adrimarsink]

Bringing the boys closer (esp. w/ EN) is another reason why Temma organized this event. He already hinted there may be a Season 2, probably late of this year or next year. And thanks to the Rust arc, Izuru has gotten to know the majority of the Tempus boys (namely Altare, Flayon, Hakka, Shinri) and vice versa. I don't think he and Bettel met during the arc b/c Bettel joined in a little late and time zones suck😖

[@alexandriaorcld6365]

me too. i hope more stars en fans warm up to stars jp and vice versa!

[@rose_river_]

Izuru is so adorable~

[@black_712]

love the ending

[@ookamithefangjoker]

I can only imagine the girl that Hakka interviewed from the convention months ago; might be her.

[@SusanLucarioFan16]

I was just on twitter and there was a hakka fan who appeared at the expo with a plushie of Hakka, well she also has a hakka themed bag, with how Izuru described the bag it looks similar to hers, she used the hakka coasters you could get at the expo on the clear part of her bag, could it have been her bag Izuru saw?

[@TeaTimeLethe]

I had to look up what a chekis was 😂 Izuru san is so cool lol observe from a distance lol

[@fenrirlives2226]

Izuru is such a bro, I wish I didn't need sleep so I could check his stuff out more consistently! Thanks a ton for the clip!
