This is the Best VTuber Event I've Ever Experienced 【 Gawr Gura x Aquarium in Japan 】

[@hwikkyOG]

(UPDATED) ⭐**NOTICE** ⭐ Please watch my 200K view celebration "Gurarium After Report Stream"! kzbin.infot1FAHLinVhw I talk about the ups and downs of my Gurarium and Sendai trip as well as some interesting details. Thank you!

I think the channel name is good because it is unique. but how is it pronounced?

Why not put it on this channel shorts?

I assume that the sardines were just reacting to the vibrations in the water from the music.

The keychain trade amongst fans was so wholesome, and I love how organized these events are. Sasuga JP bros.

[@MintyPolaroid]

10:15 hwikky meeting that KR bro by chance was super wholesome. It's not just the vtubers I admire, it's also how it brings peeps together

[@Lopezprieto]

It's a wholesome community, if we don't count antis (we don't count them right?!)

[@A_Bag_of_Potatoes]

@@Lopezprieto No we don't count them because they aren't part of the community as it would make no sense if they were because that defeats their whole purpose which is opposition, division & antagonism, it's the opposite of a community.

[@R3TR0J4N]

That's the secret recipe to vlogs and irl. That social interaction in a interpersonal level 👌😭♥️

[@DuneCrescent]

The friendly polite nature of the people attending and professionalism of staff made me very happy. The joy of the guy collecting a complete keychain set was just

[@Blakobness]

Seeing all this is wild, kind of puts things in perspective for someone who isn't as familiar with the deep lore of how much a VTuber's influence makes it out there. I can understand why Goobus went on such a long break, being such a busy and popular shork would tax you a lot mentally. I'm sure we all are hoping she's keeping in good health and is finding a good routine that she can adapt to in the long term. Like other delicate sea life, our Gawr Gura should be protected at all costs.

[@thegrim418]

Yeah she literally exploded in popularity. Granted, she was pretty big in her past life, but there's a huge difference between being a tuber with a million subs and being one of the faces of a massive company and having your face and voice in front of millions of people in multiple countries. I can imagine for a shut in that has to be a shock to the system.

[@NathanDarza]

nah fr gura is the goat 💙💙

[@ItsLucks]

Its really cute seeing everyone get so excited when they get together and trade their gacha. Love seeing people of different backgrounds get excited together for common interests even if its something as simple as anime girls haha.

[@GabrielRojasAhumada]

Even tho I hate gacha and gambling in general this is the best part about irl gacha lol. Reminds me of my childhood trading either small metal balls, "gogos" or bakkugan. Nice times..

[@imagoodieboy7790]

​@@GabrielRojasAhumada Mann you made me look so old with those Bakkugan. I remember that Bakkugan being popular in Philippines but me and my friends (since we are only a kid and cant afford Bakkugan) we just returned to play Pokemon.

that moment where everyone is trading and talking gura. i like that. wholesome fandom. good stuff.

[@MATTierial]

Wow, it's so cool to see how many fans Goomba has over in Japan! Those Gura bags were so awesome!

[@Mentaljedi]

Wow that was an intense collab, Gura must have voices so many lines. Fans don't get to see all these projects and how busy it must make them

[@Moxie4YT]

I really loved the wholesome interactions between the fans, talking about their oshi and merch. It was really nice to see

[@yamiRic]

The collab looks great and well-planned. I think the Sendai aquarium and Cover are thinking and planning this neatly. I have visited many aquariums and I think this one is very unique. The idea of having dancing sardines on Reflect is lore accurate as you can imagine Gura sitting on that coral, singing Reflect while fishes are circling around her.

[@hwikkyOG]

This is one of those collabs where you go yeah, it makes perfect sense. On top of that, the whole thing was really neatly organized. They knew how to handle the crowd and had plenty of stock at least for the first day despite the huge turn out. I was impressed.

[@Nonregional]

I bet they’re feeling good about this decision. The turnout looks absurd.

[@Brainfryde]

I wish we could see these kind of wholesome things in the US. Even the idea of having an oshi of any kind outside of southern California and maybe Hawaii is unheard of.

[@JohnMeza]

Lol 2:55 that's me with the long hair. Great video you really captured the Gurarium experience!

[@hwikkyOG]

Awesome! I hope you had a good time as much as I did.

投稿者さんのぐらちゃんへの愛がすごく伝わってくる！ 心温まる動画をありがとうございます😊

[@iamairika]

My favorite part in the vlog was the dolphin show and the fishes dancing to "Reflect" Cause I NEVER expected them to be able to do any of that with the animals, that's insane! This entire exhibition was adorable and very perfect for Gura, an aquarium collaboration was perfect for her! This was such a cute vlog as always I cannot wait for more! 😊

[@hwikkyOG]

One of the most perfectly fitting collabs I've ever seen. I could feel that Gura as well as so many people put a lot of work into this. Thank you for watching!

[@monstersoul]

Seeing people trading keychains, showing off itabag is really wholesome

[@vanidar21]

wow, I didnt expect this to be so FUCKING packed, crazy how popular Gura is in Japan

[@kaarusade]

this may sound weird but this gave me a new reason to keep going and someday travel the world. being able to go to places like this for stuff you love and meeting new people with the same interests as you is so precious!! they really went all out for this one, so happy this was successful for our favorite goob. such a great video, looking forward to more of your videos!

[@hwikkyOG]

I am glad to hear that you found value in my video. Means a lot hearing this. I hope you can travel to places you want in the very near future. Thank you for watching!

[@h3rpad3rpacifilis]

I think society has normalized making grandiose life goals and successes a little too much. If we all reflect deeply, what you're saying is not weird at all. We make our own goals in life, and in the end of the day, as long as there's food on the table and air in our lungs that's really all that matters. I hope you achieve it and find happiness!

[@Faylakes]

I really hope cover gonna contact you and works together to make documentary video. Your works so far is really awesome I can feel myself being there just from watching, keep up the good work!

[@user_Hololive]

To be honest, I was surprised that there was such a line. I could feel the popularity of the hololive. Thanks for the video!

[@thomasfalkenberg8549]

hwikky learned his lesson and arrived early this time, and even for an EN member in JP it was definitely a good idea.

[@cooper6192]

Holofans interactions are so wholesome, also it's so funny to see how you have learned and become experienced in this type of events and now you arrive early and are ready for the long lines.

FOMO actually, I went to Japan in late November. I am still suprised at the amount of stuff Holo live has ONLY in Japan. In my opinion it is not even advertised much, I didn't even know they had an aquarium collab. Anyways, I really felt like I was there - thank you.

[@digster2344]

The patience Japanese people have to wait in lines that long just to get merch amazes me (Also, great video! It was so fun to see all the different Gura related merch and events the collaboration brought!)

I'm living my Hololive Travelling dream through you. I can't afford any travelling.. Edit after watching: -Yes, Kaela is a Penguin. No denying it now. -I really love the trading scenarios that happen during these types of events. -The "Sparkling of Life" Gura ver. is amazing. There were times that the sardines were moving at different directions when there was second voices. I wish I could travel like this for these shows.

seriously speaking, knowing gura for a long (seriously long) time, it fills me with pride and makes me so happy to see this kind of things, beyond the collab, it is beautiful to see people interacting with each other, making new friends, exchanging things and enjoying talking about what they like, it makes me very happy to be part of this, hopefully someday I can live a similar experience!! thanks for the excellent video too!! 💙💙

I was expecting the cafe and the merch store to be the extent of this collab. Which is all fine and dandy, but damn they went all out! The preformances and the tour guide in gura's voice was very cool to see. Also idk if they expected the gacha merch to create a trading event that happens at every one of these, but it seems like a great way to bring fans together and i'd love to be apart of one someday. Amazing vlog as always hwikky님! Oh and look at that, gura's streaming rn
