[@EndoftheBeginning17]

@@shingtome2179 There is a bit to unpack with this so I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible Hololive a project started by Cover corporation, a Japanese based KZbin entertainment company with an emphasis on technology (originally it was a tech company). It started with a yong woman that wanted to be a virtual Japanese Idol, which was a new thing back in 2017. The CEO, nicknamed Yagoo, (full name Motoaki Tanigo) saw the potential and started auditioning KZbin streamers to work for him in this new start-up and now boasts over 80 talents from around the world. Not all start out as singers, but all of the talents if they don't sing, train to sing as well as dance, as they do put on performances. He tends to hire talented people, they usually have a skill that is somewhat uncommon. The three talents at the Dodgers stadium are his top talents: 1. Gura (that's her first name as the naming is in Japanese) is the most subscribed to VTuber in the world - She's cracked at lots of Rythym Games 2. Usada Pekora was the most watched female streamer in the world last year and top 4 for 4 years running - a Minecraft pro with the nickname of war criminal bunny (she likes to build traps that the other talents can then act out as their character dies, hilarious content 3. And Hochmachi Suisei is the copanies top singer with several albums through Universal Japan (I think that's the company) - cracked at Tetris and Mario Kart When not doing performances the lot of them stream on KZbin There is so much more but I could literally spend a few days and I am not even all that well versed, just the highlights - it is literally a rabbit hole of lore and memes, so many memes

[@mathmaniac3033]

@@shingtome2179 hololive Production is a branch of Cover Corp, and it specializes in V-Tubers that utilize the company's VR and AR software to both stream on KZbin (mainly)/Twitch (sometimes) and to perform concerts akin to traditional idol culture in Japan. The branch has many subbranches for the different regions it operates in, including hololive (in Japan), hololive Indonesia, hololive English, holostars (a branch for the male V-Tubers), and holostars English. Tokino Sora is the first V-Tuber from hololive Production, and she helped build and grow the program for a long time. Yagoo (a nickname for Motoaki Tanigo) is the CEO of Cover Corp, but he's very hands-on when it comes to planning and supporting the talents that exist across all of hololive Production. tl;dr, they're V-Tuber idols that entertain and perform both in-person and online, using VR and AR tech developed by Cover Corp.

I at this point don’t care about Nijisanji anymore. Their CEO reeks of rich kids who only manage to make bank with the help of their rich parents’ safety net, nobody drops out of university and suddenly have money, and hasn’t acquired the necessary skills and experience to lead a company with empathy and compassion. Those points are why we are witnessing the fallout of Nijisanji right now. I’m still pissed off at their dissolution of a successful Nijisanji ID branch, and now they dropped the ball bloody hard with the fallout of Selen Tatsuki and all the talents they dismissed out of lack of compassion. So to me, Nijisanji did not exist in my mind share, let them do their own thing, I won’t acknowledge whatever they are doing right now, I’m more than content to stay on Hololive and other smaller VTuber companies because when you have companies like WACTOR, VReverie and NEXAS, Nijisanji can be considered among the “villains of VTuber companies” and you can safely ignore them in both your future auditions as a corporate VTuber talent, and as a fan who wants to support ethical treatment of their talents.

Thanks for the amazing compilation. It brings me so much joy to see hololive spread across the world. 😭

Yeah I can imagine that the American stadium staff wasn't prepared for the merch popularity, I dont think Hololive had a lot of control over that. AMAZING thing, thanks for the video!

I'm Peruvian and I have been studying abroad in the Los Angeles for 1.5 years. Unfortunately I had to be back to my country for a family incident and finish my carreer online. But anyway, I never thought there are many Hololive fans in the L.A.... that's crazy in a good way! Maybe when I come back to L.A. I could find a friend there to talk about Hololive and vtubers, and maybe that would help my social anxiety.

I am giving you a super thanks mind pinning me? So..for the overall event the Dodgers aka the Home Team were losing however at the 7th inning Gura came into the game to cheer them on. And the next inning they came back winning 8-5. Also if the results doesn't tell you the number it translates to Yago! Like if that doesn't say Anime girl buff and fate I don't know what is! Gura, Pekora & Suisei did a great job with Elite English! This event is awesome! Thank you for showing it all! And thank you Yagoo for this collab!!

[@grilledflatbread4692]

hololive itself probably only made a small cut of the merch sale

[@litlsteps8486]

knowing how AnyColor stocks is still higher than Cover, it's probably true. their main objective for this is probably 'Exposure'. the single tent for the merch says it all.

[@sdedy379]

Well it's extremely hard to collab with so many great brand like holo did. They now collab with practically any entity like government, video games, food, physical store and now sport team. It most likely happened because the management doesn't often make unfavorable deal with other party unlike some black company 😂.

[@Dendell22]

They're not there for the money. They want the exposure. And they got it.

[@Oh-Ben]

The exposure they where looking for was proof that they are a big draw. After this Cover has all they need to prove they are not a risk, but a draw.

[@SuperMoogyD]

@@litlsteps8486 That's the difference between a company run and owned by people that strictly want to see the little lines and numbers that represent money to be high and one that's run by somebody that actually seems to care about those that got them there.
