[hololive] Polka Talks About Fauna

[@RiaGracewood]

MILP! Polka is such a genuine sweetheart. She's always been really supportive of the other branches, and their communities!

[@vulcanh254]

What a ball of joy Polka is lol. And she's so right about Fauna's voice haha. Sometimes I don't even watch her, I just have her stream open in the background because I enjoy hearing her talk and giggle every 5 seconds. It purifies my heart. 🥲

[@katacutie]

2:53 is exactly why I still tune into Polka and Watame's streams even if I speak 0 japanese lmao

[@MagnusVonGrapple]

🎪🤝🐏 My two oshis

[@gotenks1114]

and Miko and Korone for me

[@principalflame5199]

Im thankful for clips like this, that show Polka's compassion and sharp mind. She really is a treasure

[@rarukumaaru7612]

Thanks for the translation

[@KazeKishi]

953k now so already quickly on the way. I might be wrong but I think she was at 910k in november

[@BigRedJNC]

At time of her announcement she was at 914k so yeah we can do this! 💚

[@EfrainMan]

I'm doing my part! Joined membership, too, why not lol

[@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni]

She literally had a vid making an announcement to all her current subscribers and I think it was 914k so she did have an insane jump and if we can at.least get her that Gold Plaque that she always deserved as a final gift who knows maybe her wish will be for the issue with management to bend for her (wishful thinking) I hate to see her leave but I still do love Hololive

[@InitialDrifterZ]

@@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni Fauna is going to go indy. LemonLeaf is her indy channel. It has already jumped over 100k subscribers since her graduation announcement. She’s going to be even more fun to watch when she gets complete creator control over her content. The only thing we’ll miss is her current model.

[@RiaGracewood]

​@@InitialDrifterZ she also won't be able to collab with her current colleagues. So that kinda sucks.

[@TallulahSoie]

Always interesting to see various members reactions regardless of what they say or don't say.

[@DouglaszillaAweome]

That's the Omaru Polka we know and admired so much! The 'vtuber of many voices' really expresses the deep meanings towards the hearts and minds of others. With so many 'Different Directions' Hololive will go so many ways and each vtuber will go where their path will take it all the way.

[@sansnom5269]

"You fools, you all created a paradox. After so much doom posting about new directions, the company will now go for new directions, trying to avoid it! " Love how even while talking about hard topics and serious issues, Polka still effortlessly showcases her sharp mind and sense of humor.

[@sleepywitches]

2:52 that's pretty much how I feel watching polka streams all the time, I don't understand a word but she still funny, and I love polka sm, even with the language barrier I can still watch her and enjoy her streams

[@arnargrande1889]

Well, to be fair, even JP nikki sometimes don't understand what Polka is saying. You can usually tell by the question marks in chat. I remember there was one person who passed JLPT N1 and there are some tweets they can't understand after reading it over and over. Heck, sometimes Polka will make a tweet, go to sleep, and then say "I have no idea what this person is saying".

[@GoodOleDFT]

@@arnargrande1889 You know, now you're making me nervous. I listen to Polka so much that I noticed I'm subconsciously catching her mannerisms. I hope I don't become unintelligible... lol

[@GoodOleDFT]

@arnargrande1889 No no no, I was just memeing. I take regular Nihongo lessons, listening material and pronunciation-focused classes included, and watch a lot of different JP speakers. Just so happens Pol is the one I listen to most by a wide margin.

[@syncromtc56]

4:02 same polka, same. thank you for the very straightforward title

[@holhorse3080]

Thank you as always! 2:42 not only Polka but the zains and their stories can be pretty funny too, just gotta use a translator Someone ages ago said that their grandpa wouldn't stop replaying the Blue Clapper MV on their TV 😂

[@shiningmaho-san]

Thanks for the translation. Unrelated: I see a lot of subbers still not sure what colour font to use for Polka. I'll suggest to refer to Legend of Polka. Not that it really matters.

[@Flugmorph]

man polka is amazing.

[@jaymartholytree4639]

Polpol is such a kind person with a bigger heart.

[@PropaneWP]

No vagueness, no damage control, just a level headed Fennec keeping it real.

[@Mitulaa]

I said it time and time again, but Polpol is such a treasure!❤ She always looks out for everyone, and has such a big heart!

[@Yenrei]

Being a natural at impressions, it makes sense that Polka can perfectly express the feelings of many

[@MarvinRaccoon]

I feel 2:27 so hard with the JP side xD

[@lecaith4914]

Polka is so nice, i love her

[@nutshot_brawler8466]

Gotta love it when the Holomems address issues with such poignancy and professionalism

[@wolfwoof4446]

Polka always says things as how she feels, not sugarcoating yet uses good enough phrasing to not cause any disruption. Shes much more attentive than she lets on and i love that side of her too I love polka a lot but her morning streams are too early for me lol Does she not sleep the night before or does she actually wake up that early??

[@rayo_0098]

I also love that part of Polka, how sometimes she can be so geniune and it always amazes me how her model/design matches her so much. Polka being so over the top as a clown when she is enterteing people, having so much make up because she is a clown, but when she becomes genuine and relaxed, her design also can do a 180° turn when she removes her make up Its like her model and herself really show the difference when she is doing her best being fun and her being chill and genuine, of course even with that differences you can tell she is still herself btw also love her gyaru look but thats just because i like gyarus

[@DFMCode]

remember to subscribe to Fauna to reach 1M before the end of the year 💚 thanks for the clip and translation

[@GoodOleDFT]

And you see, this is why I have this silly thing as my kamioshi.

[@TheDetonation]

M I L P

[@cuuy]

It's rude to go to the stream of other holomems and pressure them to help Fauna gain more subs. This kind of fans or the ones making the community unhealthy.

[@amirfahd197]

Polka never stop being amazing and supportive towards other hololive members even outside the JP branch.

[@MrCh0o]

4:20 I'm a bit confused about what she meant with that second part 😅About "those who say Polka isn't their 'main' in the first place"

[@JinyasClips]

@@MrCh0o "people who don't have Polka as their main (oshi)" Polka didn't say oshi there so I just translated it as it is

[@MrCh0o]

@@JinyasClips Oh yeah, I understood that (guess I should've just quoted the entire thing). What confused me is why she said they should watch her - I mean, it goes without saying that people will watch her even if she isn't their absolute favourite, so it feels like there's more to it

[@JinyasClips]

@@MrCh0o that entire part is a continuation from the part where she said 'please watch over Polka'. So in short it'd be like 'Please watch over Polka. Oh you got tired watching me? Go watch other people. Oh I'm not your oshi? Then stay here and watch me.' That's all, I guess. Nothing more to it.

[@Miruk4]

That's the first time I've heard about the request for Fauna's narration, which outfit was that for, or did it never end up happening?

[@no-you-sagi]

It was for Polka's Idol Outfit Reveal. Actually Gen 5 idol outfit reveal, but Fauna only narrated Polka's.

[@ayyypon9688]

Polka has a wonderful spirit

[@tonberryc9994]

I wish my crappy brain could learn other languages. There are so many JP vtubers that I'd love to follow but can't understand without these subbed clips.

[@obitoxshinobi8978]

❤😢polka chan

[@SeeMyDolphin]

Polka has always been a very wholesome senpai to the EN members

[@painpeko8805]

What a great clip and really heartfelt and thoughtful words from Polka, thanks for sharing!

[@VNRG1993]

man I thank you everyone so much for the support! I started this campaign with nearly zero followers, tried so hard to spread and even at one time I was thinking about giving up, but suddenly it got traction and then everyone got involved, srsly I thank you and love this community so much! let's get her the deserved 1M subs!

[@thecreepers5399]

Good POL clip! Thanks for the TL!

[@TriChaser]

Polka is such a gigachad.

[@david23627]

The Fauna Situation is Insane

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

As much as I like the sentiment of having Fauna reach 1m for the gold play button, it irks me that some people only cared after the announcement.

[@kukuc96]

It gained urgency after the announcement. Everybody knew she is going to get there eventually if she just kept going as steady as she has for her whole 3+ year career, and advertising/begging for subs is bad form normally. But now people care that she gets that 1 mil as a farewell gift more.

[@Wolfgang_AmaDEEZ_NUTZart]

I agree with you plus i dont understand how it is possible she havent hit 1m yet. Even before the announcement she gathered constant ~10k viewers so something just didnt add up to me there.

[@telefrag.]

Has it occured to you that people who weren't subscribed until recently were not following her channel much to begin with to know how she's doing? It's just a nice way people are able to give some closure to her since she's close enough already to get this milestone.

[@butternecrofly7193]

@Wolfgang_AmaDEEZ_NUTZart a lot of things can be speculated. From people who just follow only specific talents to maybe they will be views but, well, let's not forget Fauna has some haters around. Which I feel might have something to do with her sudden slow growth.

[@KABLAMMATS]

What do you know, you're just hmmm monke...

[@andridirgantara7640]

What the use of 1 million subs tho. She gonna quit soon

[@rabbitribbit8710]

For the gold play button, I believe.

[@janarcangel49]

Gold play button. A pretty good farewell gift for your oshi, yes?

[@kukuc96]

Gold play button, nice farewell gift, wanting to see your kamioshi graduate on a high at least.

[@DouglaszillaAweome]

It's fair to say, to the ones who see their 'End of their Line' goal an achievement unlike any other. 'The Final Hurrah!'

[@KinnyRiddle]

So what? It's still a good farewell gift to have.
