@@electronresonator8882AZKI was still a member of INNK after SuiSei was moved to Hololive. INNK was owned by Hololive, wasn’t by itself. INNK also didn’t collapse like you claim, but was closed due to only having one member under the label and why waste money running a music label for one person when you can just move that person into the main branch? Which is what they did as AZKI has been a part of the main branch of Hololive since last year. So are you an anti or do you just not do your research? May 2019, INNK was created with SuiSei and AZKI as members. December 2019 SuiSei was moved to Hololive so INNK was left with AZKI. AZKI was moved to Hololive at the end of March 2022 and INNK was closed April 2022.

[@yow1000]

Great video, but there are a few small chronological accuracies, to elaborate : - After she entered innk, there's a 1 month collab ban as usual. But she and the other talents don't really know how to step in because she's in a different branch. Matsuri is the one that apparently pushes the management to let her collab, tho suisei's first collab partner when she's in innk ended up being mel. So it's not like she didn't collab at all when she's in innk. - After knowing that she's allowed to collab with the main branch, she was invited to the project winter collab, in which she was so nervous she ended up training her ass off until she became too strong and ended up killing everyone, thus giving birth to the suicopath meme. Yes, the suicopath was born before she's moved to the main branch. The popularity of the suicopath probably smoothen the negotiation to move her to the main branch too. - Her big break wasn't on her 3D debut, it was on holofes 1. She was on around 75k subs before holofes 1. She's thinking of singing [comet] but after being inspired her close friend's performance, inui toko from nijisanji, she decided to showcase her vocal too through [tenkyuu]. She wanted to do call and response but apparently management told her to "this time, just sing". Thanks to her performance, her popularity exploded after holofes 1 and tenkyuu became the first hololive og song to reach 1 million views. Which is why Suisei said that holofes 1 is still the most important live in her life, and tenkyuu is a song that means so much to her.

[@Yiman]

thanks for filling in the blanks and I didn't know this extra info! thank you for taking your time to drop in this comment🫡

[@prajnadeva]

LOL that same advice is also told when she do the First Take. Just sing, no need for warm up or greeting.

[@yamiRic]

Tenkyuu story has been covered in Aburage video too. A very meaningful song for Suisei. And that Project Winter collab outcome was so frightening. I believe even Fubuki recalled the moment as "the crazy girl from inonaka" or something like that.

[@FumeKO1]

damn, this should be pinned. it's a lot of info to know

[@krispynico960]

that is so cool

[@suruzu]

I would like to add more info regarding her career musically and her journey to mainstream. It shows the absolute grind she's been on ever since she got her 3D model. - For 2020, she participated in 16 (!!!) lives (including guest appearances in other members' 3D lives). Let me know if you want the full list. - Some of my favorites from that year were Start in the Screen (500k live), VILLS (birth of micomet), and "Nissin Foods POWER STATION [REBOOT]" - "SUISEI MUSIC "POWER" LIVE" (was really high quality back then). - In 2020 as well, she started making a name for herself in the anime and Vtuber scene. She was able to collab with D4DJ and her song NEXT COLOR PLANET won 1st place in the Vtuber Music Awards music category and 3rd place in the MV category. - Music Space! Her first radio show helped her get used to being a host and singing live. There's a treasure trove of acoustic covers by Suisei thanks to this radio show. - First TV appearance! In December, Suisei appeared in an NHK broadcast featuring Japan's top tetris and puyopuyo players. She was able to fight Japan's #1 tetris player on live tv. - 2021 was her breakout year and the start of her knocking into the mainstream. This was the year she released her 1st album Still Still Stellar which was able to rank in Oricon and other music charts. - She was also able to hold her first physical sololive, Stellar into the Galaxy at Toyosu PIT! Along with the concert was announced various collabs, notably a collab with Converse Japan. - Suisei also appeared on TV! She was in the tv program Project V!. During the peak hype of Stellar Stellar Japanese morning news shows would report on her song. There was also that one moment when Suise's advertisement truck for her sololive was shown on tv lol - Suisei's new radio show with Tadokoro Azusa also launched this year. It's still going strong! - For live participation, she was a guest for 6 hololive member 3D lives, had 2 solo lives, Vills 2 and 3, cindirella switch VR concert, and V-Carnival. - We also had her first duo unit with Taku Inoue, Midnight Grand Orchestra. The unit is signed with VIA lable under Toys Factory JP. - In 2022 the Suisei train wasn't stopping but all the work she was putting in was taking a toll on her throat. During this year she had to take two extended breaks one of which was for her throat surgery. - She participated in holofes 3rd, Vtuber fes Japan 2022, and V-carnival. She had her 3d live Selfish of a Rough Stone (favorite non-paid 3d live btw), Midnight Grand Orchestra 1st live Overture, and her post-surgery comeback live. - She guested 19 times for various 3D lives of other members as well as for the hololive group. And now we're at 2023, and just January alone was full of amazing things. 2nd album, 2nd sololive, first vtuber ever on The First Take, and 3rd sololive announcement! 2020 Lives: January 24, 2020 - hololive 1st Fes. "NONSTOP STORY" March 1 - 3D Debut March 19 - ぶいおん!! SAKURA MUSIC LIVE (if you've seen a clip of Suisei confessing, this is where it's from) March 21 - Anniversary 3D Live June 16 - 音楽で日本をアゲる！星街すいせい★もこ田めめめ★花鋏キョウのSTUDIO July 3 - It's a Virtual Pop World! July 19 - VILLS micomet July 25 - Bilibili Macro Link 2020 (rip Pieces) August 7 - Bilibili World (full vid of her performance is on YT) August 14 - ＮＨＫバーチャル文化祭 (search Sora • Suisei • Matsuri「Synchronicity」NHK Virtual Bunkasai on YT to see their performance) September 6 - Tokyo Tower Fireworks Display XR ~COSMIC FLOWER~ October 4 - Virtual Tokyo Idol Festival October 19 - 3rd 3D live, STARt in the SCREEEN! November 22 - SUISEI MUSIC "POWER" LIVE December 10 - Inui Toko 1st sololive "who i am" guest December 22 - hololive's 2nd fest "Beyond the Stage" Looking back at it now, her schedule was insane. Note that she was still doing streams, releasing covers, and radio shows in between these lives. This also helped her make tons of connections. In September 2020 Suisei had a collab event with Vanguard ZERO which was developed by Bushiroad. Bushiroad would then end up officially sponsoring Suisei in her 2021 3D live SPACE for Virutal GHOST, allowing her to perform Bang Dream Raise a Suilen songs (an official clip is still found in the Bandori YT channel). Bushiroad would again sponsor her for her 1st Sololive Stellar into the Galaxy.

Honestly Suisei is one of the reasons why I respect vtubers nowadays another reason is that vtubers are also human, they at the very least deserve to be respected. Suisei's story is definitely one of the best if not then the best one for me because it is not easy to go through a path where everything just feels like it's not working or everything just doesn't make sense, everything just feels like it's collapsing, but I'm sure that if you do get through it, it would feel so satisfying knowing your hard work paid off.

If it weren't for all the girls trying to help one another, hololive wouldn't be where it is today.

[@Yiman]

Hello everyone, Yiman here! I'm just absolutely humbled by the incredible support and love this video is getting. Vtuber content never does well on my channel so I was initially very hesitant to make this video. However, with being absolutely blown away by Suisei's The First Take performance to learning her incredible backstory, I pushed myself to make this video. NGL I put my all into this project. From watching 50+ Suisei clips, rewriting my script over and over again, and the actual editing process, I worked 5 days straight and clocked in more than 40 hours making it. But, as I got deeper and deeper into my research, the more and more I felt motivated to make this video so that more people will learn of her amazing backstory. I told myself if even one viewer was to get moved from this video or get some value from it, it would be well worth it. So, when many of yall commented saying this video made you emotional and even made you cry, that in turn made me emotional as well because I poured so much into this video🥲 To all my new subscribers, thank you for joining the Yiman fam! I'm trying to make more of these longer form vids covering more amazing people such as mangakas, seiyuus, and animators part of this robust anime and manga industry we all really love. I will actually be making more Vtuber-focused videos like this in the future. I'm thinking about covering Hololive's Subaru and Elite Mike in the future because I feel their backstories are fascinating as well. However, if you know any other Vtubers you want me to cover please comment below or slide into my DMs🫡 Lastly, let's continue to give Suisei our support as we watch her continually break records in the vtuber space. More importantly, as cliche as it sounds, let's try to find and support these indie vtuber talents who are "diamonds in the rough". Tbh the Vtuber space is a very oversaturated place. So, if you do happen to see a vtuber who isn't getting any traction despite their raw talent, a nice comment, a thoughtful DM, or a RT of a tweet goes a long way.🙏 I wish everyone peace and happiness as they chase after their dreams. You got this!🔥🔥🔥

[@yamiRic]

Amazing work on summing everything in just 12 minutes. I would like to add some of my personal Suisei's moments that inspired me 1. The Jack of All trades moment. I can't find the original clip or vid but apparently, Suisei want to be an irl idol. She applied to several idol agencies but got rejected.. because she can do many things alone. She can sing, dance, play game, write lyric, mixing, making video, drawing, animating, etc. That is why she decided to be Vtubers and get famous to get back to all those agencies that rejected her. 2. One of her biggest challenge is not the recent throat surgery. It is actually when her doctor told her to use her normal voice instead of her cute voice. For vtubers, changing your voice is a big issue but she has to do it because her throat is suffering. It took some time including members' encouragement for her to be brave and starting to use her real voice on stream and singing. In the end, Suisei's story is all about someone who defied all expectations including her own. She knows very well what she can do, so she push through it, meet helpful colleagues, and overall being nice to everyone. She is not the best singer in JP or in Vtuber space, but she understand her power and advantage very well. That is why she is one of the brightest star in JP music right now. She is a real inspiration for myself, just like other Hololive vtubers as well.

The sad part of Suisei's rise is the parallel downward spiral of AZKi's career. It's quite literally "A Star Is Born"-story between the two of them. It got so bad that by 2021, AZKi was contemplating graduating until INNK folded and she got absorbed into Hololive/Cover Corp proper.

I wouldn't be so worried about her, she has almost 20 years of experience on the internet and many dedicated fans.

[@moonyamoonya997]

@@hoyhoy852 Didn't she quit her day job already?

[@MikeOuttaphone]

I went from seeing a clip of Henya singing "japanese goblin", and wanted to know more so I searched youtube for the song. The first video that popped up was Suisei, La+, and Fubuki playing Apex. I took immediate interest in Suisei's voice and found her music. I was blown away at how catchy and good her music and voice are. Next thing you know I'm enjoying 'suicopath' videos. I've watched vtubers here and there, but I went from not knowing any of the Hololive members to watching clips almost daily. They're all so unique and nutty in their own way, and it's bringing my a ton of joy and laughter in a pretty rough patch of my life. Thanks for this video, I would have never known she went through all of these hardships. This really instills the meaning behind "Stellar Stellar", and I love it so much more now.

[@megamcee]

Anyone from Asmon - definitely watch till the very end. He missed the best part of the video. The call-response at the end is super precious, considering the entire video before it.

[@KaitoD]

Yagoo is the foundation where Hololive will be built on A-chan is the pillar that supports the group And the Idols are the substance of this rich and wonderful group But only a select few can be labeled the walls of this team, holding it together and being the very walls that the others can lean on for support Of course then we have the EN branch that further explodes the popularity of the group and became further expansions to this story of A man with a dream, Giorno gio- I mean Motoaki Tanigo, who decided to prioritize the dreams of those working under him, and him supporting them as they continue to shine in their own way, even if its not the way he wanted them to shine. A wonderful day to have the shooting star of hololive bless us

[@E5rael]

Heh, walls... When it comes to being a wall, the most famous Hololive talent would have to be Rushia. 😏

[@KaitoD]

@@E5rael Well that wall has been dismantled

[@sleepylion9788]

No, Sora is the foundation, Yagoo is the builder and A-chan is the support collumn

[@neonlasttite4384]

If you take a look of hearsays and the talents feedback on their interviews. Yagoo sure does a hard time to drive away many potential talents due to limited slots to make sure their debut isn't too diluted. Only some persist like Suisei. The only case I know of them is Nene, she failed several interviews before getting accepted.

[@nietzchan]

​@@neonlasttite4384 actually plenty funny story from the talent themselves about audition: - Watame keep sending her application multiple times first because she misstyped her name and anxious because she didn't get the call for interview. - Fubuki convinced her classmate Mio to join Hololive, they both then meet Korone and Okayu at the arcade and invites them to apply and create GAMERS - Sakura Miko is one of the very vew talent that actually got scouted personally by Yagoo for Sakura Miko Project - Noel who passed the first stage without knowing it in 2018 because her friend put her on the audition, half a year later she went into the audition again as herself, lol

[@KovoN]

Who else is back here after her budokan announcement?

[@kodamadad]

the ending on 11:44 gave me goosebumps

[@4slidem1r]

it made me tear up seeing the huge crowd in her solo live and that part where they all screamed "kyou mo kawaii"

[@elosy_the_thoughtless]

i've watched a bit from the sidelines. so many moments on this video hit the feels. a lot of vtubers are like this, tons of effort and dedication. can't even imagine...

[@mata3535]

as a studying musician, it feels silly to say that a virtual anime girl has been such an inspiration for me, but it’s very true, i love her

[@Zcee]

thank you for making this. As a hoshiyomi, I was not here from the beginning and only discovered hololive because of their en branch. But i knew how much she went through, and when i saw the “suichan is cute today too” during her 3d with a live crowd, it really made me emotional. hopefully through this video many can discover just how insanely talented and inspiring she is.

[@foopygoopy1860]

Suisei will always be my most respected at Hololive. She genuinely I think has the most talent of any of them, not just at streaming but singing, games, entertainment, talking to chat. Everything. She's actually amazing. And she never gave up. She put her foot down saying Hoshimachi Suisei is who I am, I won't be taken away.

[@Rezzhuanne]

I'm so happy for Suisei right now! She deserves all her success!

[@dabi_]

#1-man!!! I’ve been looking forward to this ever since you announced you were gonna make this documentary. This was really, really moving; Suisei is honestly such a huge inspiration. Thank you so much for making this T_T

[@Yiman]

thanks for suggesting the video idea! I really enjoyed making it🙏

[@AiminE2512]

Thank you sir for doing this recap journey for our God/Diva/Princess Suisei 😭

[@dreamneonblack2253]

Watching this again for inspiration. Great video

[@xXxXxXxAllianaxXxXxX]

Choosing this video to watch is such irony to me, cause I never heard of this person before, I don’t even watch vtubers, and the only thing I knew about this 3D person was one day I saw a tweet by first take with this blue haired vtuber and the announcement that she would perform. The fact that I found this video cause of the KZbin algorithm makes it even more sweeter. Who would have thought that something I saw in a passing glance had such a powerful story behind them. I never would have thought to find this information on my own, so thank you for creating this video for those like me and for the fans of this Diamond in the Rough 🙏

[@FireSisterBee]

That ending gave me the biggest goosebumps. I had no idea through how much struggle she went but thanks to this video I'm getting a newfound interest in her beyond just listening to her songs

[@mikahebat]

Watching this after her Budoukan show announcement makes me want to push harder in life. Suichan itsumo kawaiiii~

[@otakuagmvu4994]

Especially this clip of her 8:25, seeing her from small concert to big one 🔥.

[@juntaro_7590]

It’s stories like these that make me so happy that I’m a vtuber fan. Such a legend and inspiration to never give up on your dreams. My brother likes to say this saying “you only have to make it once” I feel like that’s the case here. We see Suisei working so hard and even though she fails she keeps trying. When it seemed as though she was about to give in she finds the support needed and ability to survive. To again get back up again. It’s literally written like the best anime’s of all time. I can’t.

[@IronBotTactics]

this is why im her oshi, struggle & untapped potential.

[@nguyenucminh8970]

Suisei is the kind of girl who always pushes forward, always try to find a motive to keep going for her dreams. The sad part is that you can clearly see her disappointment, her desperation and exhaustion over everything that has happened to her, yet she still tries to stay happy in all of her streams, acting if nothing had happened. Its just sad

[@qwertcurt123]

I don't really get where you're getting at. Yea she was dissappointed and exhausted but I don't think that's the case now. There's nothing to be sad about.

[@McDudes]

The virtual idol who never stopped grinding. Respect

[@elizabethpatton1054]

I had never heard of Suisei until still still stellar and the second I heard her voice I had chills that turned to tears when I learned her story, she has an amazing voice and is so incredibly talented.

[@Kana_Yue]

I feel like she’s the phrase “starting at the bottom and making it to the top”. She tried so hard, and did everything herself, which is VERY impressive. In real life, a lot of things are competitive, and I’m glad she’s blowing up with her song now.❤

[@sherbetron]

Man, I had no idea it was so rough for her. I totally understand not wanting to give up her identity and start over, I'm surprised Hololive even allowed her to do that! Suisei has been one of my favourites from the Hololive cast since I first ever found out about it, this was before HololiveEN. Her skills have always blown me away and of course, I love her look. Congratulations to Suisei and her success after all that hard work and perseverance 💙💙

[@alecaquino4306]

They all are so great in their own way. And they all work so hard. It breaks my heart to know how much adversity each one of them had to overcome to achieve their dream. I don't know any of them but I am proud of all of them. I just want them all to be happy forever.

[@meijilover]

our comet has worked so hard for the past few years and finally got to where she deserved, i was having goosebumps the entire time while watching this video, watching her grow and how she truly started from 0 all on her own. this was super heartwarming and im so glad suisei pushed on!

[@tysonvienneau1830]

She's an inspiration. The whole world seemed against her becoming famous, but she decided to flip the bird to them and fought her way to the top with minimal help. She had a dream, she held onto it through the rough and bumpy ride, and came out achieving it with flying colors. Her story just shows that any dream is possible, no matter your financial, social, or even physical status. You have the will, you can make it. Brings a tear to the eye even to those who've become sterilized by the world like me. May your legacy never die, and let it light the night sky like the stellar comet you were born to be

[@TheNukedNacho]

Suisei really started from the bottom. Now, she’s shooting across the sky as a comet for everyone to look up to.

[@imanolcruzhernandez3091]

I always love your in depth videos and had no idea that she started off like this and makes me respect her more than ever. Glad she got the huge W she deserved.

[@MATTierial]

Being the first VTuber on First Take is a huge deal! First Take has had big names in the music industry, and is even catching the eye of western talent. She went from no support from the "record label" arm of Hololive to bringing new audiences into the scene with her singing.

[@py-3366]

I couldn't hold it after that last min clip of her doing her intro before and after. I cried Im soo soo happy for her success!

[@BenjyVR]

this actually made me tear up, i have so much respect towards her❤

[@Carreau-sama]

No matter how many different channels I see post a video of Suisei's journey it always brings a tear to my eyes. As a fan of hers for nearly 3 years now, it's such an emotional ride to see it all everytime. It's so amazing how far she has come, how successful she has become, and I always can't wait to see what she is going to do next.

[@HasukeChannel]

I love Susei more and more, she gives me hope that my dream will become real one day. She reminds me so much of myself, I also drew my own V-Tube model, learned live 2D to rig it, and am a jack of all trades that does everything on his own... without any progress, even after almost two years of consistent streaming on Twitch.

[@BluJay_Rx]

Such an inspiring story! Not just for VTubers but for life in general.

[@shadowshark9932]

I never really watched suisei, so I overlooked her as just some company backed v-tuber riding the success of EN, but this was a good slap in the face to realize her hard-work and that v-tubers work pretty dang hard to get to entertain us and reach this level of fame. Good Video

[@RouxQvixote]

Suisei is an inspiration for many people, so many that people and vtubers I have met recently have pointed Suisei as one of their biggest inspirations. I hope she can keep doing this for a very long time.

[@kallie445]

I'm so proud of Suisei, no matter in 2019/2020 to now, 2024, 90% of Vtuber agencies would need to you give up everything and start a whole new persona to join even if you were accepted. I could understand how Susei couldn't give up being 'Hoshimachi Susei' because she started this herself with a burning passion to become a Vtuber. She designed her own model, rigged her own model, edited her own videos and working multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. She had a slow and rough start so she decided to interview for Vtuber agencies but only Hololive picked her up for their music label but after her initial debut she wasn't given any support. Despite this and the passion burning out, after switching to Hololive she shined like a star. The shooting star she said she was, she lived up to her name. When it played 'The first take - Stellar Stellar" I honestly got goosebumps from it because of how emotional this moment and how big this achievement is for her. Susei, good job, I'm so proud of you and you really lived up to your name. You are all of our idols. You shined like a star.

[@Krolshi]

Vtuber agencies that rejected her are punching the air rn for sure 😂 Idk who she is, but I’m proud of and admire her for being so vigilant in pursuing her dreams. Deserves all the fame and success that’s to come 💙

[@lany4618]

I have a lot of respect for Suisei. been watching various Hololive members for ages but when I heard her song with Mori CapSule I immediately fell in love with her voice. she truly is fantastic and her story is so amazing. she really deserves everything for how hard she works and I look forward to seeing her grow

[@Sir.Cavalcante]

Suisei is an absolute legend, whata voice, whata charisma and whata perseverance.

[@hrpang]

I started tearing up when they switch their pen lights from Red to Blue. There's nothing like knowing that the audience is there for another person, but suddenly being recognized and seen.

[@TriChaser]

That is horrible. I didnt know she faced such a troubling situations. Luckily A-chan came to the rescue. Truly the result of one action and care can change others life.

[@yummychips_]

great vid, I hope you do a video on Suisei's buisness partner Sakura Miko. She has a pretty interesting past, and parallels suisei to. A lot of people don't realize it, but she has some pivotal moments that affected the vtuber industry at large. The infamous N word debacle, was a massive in breaking the algorithm for the term "vtuber". Her GTA stream during the initial covid oubreak, was one of the earliest break in abnormal growth in vtuber search terms to. Miko has done a lot of minor meme things tha tmight be overlooked, but in subtle detail Miko is actually a pioneer for the industry and pushes the medium forward a lot more then ppl think. She is both an amazing act on screen, and incredibly effective behind the scenes (as said by her peers, colleagues, and staff). She may act a bafoon in stream, but she is extremely talented and professional.

[@ZeddPlay]

Just seeing this is why suisei is my favourite. I am so happy for her that she finally reached her goals. Watching this video was hard not to tear up. Suisei is our shining star

[@Arassar]

Suisei's albums are quite different, but both great in various ways. Big recommend.

[@reezwave]

Damn you made me cry😭 I only watched her clips here and there but damn this is really emotional. I'm so happy for her, she's really deserve it, her singing also still one of the best I've ever heard. Also btw, a lot of degenerate fans also help with the lewd tag meme suipiss💀

[@shadowtrooper262]

She is able to chase her dreams throughout her the hardest of all odds. Her persistent mindset which I respect and inspire as not many can take the roughest path.

Can't help but feel emotional every time I hear suisei's story. Almost like a fairytale and such an inspiration, a true idol I would say.

[@barakito]

When I was still in my hololive phrase, she was my kamioshi and I was always so sad because people were sleeping on her just because of her simple looking model. She is so entertaining to watch and her singing is just topknotch as well. Her tetris stream is one of a kind and of course psychosei is always in my heart lol. I stopped watching vtubers for a while and when I came back, her popularity exploded and I was so so so so freaking glad for her. Stop watching her, but I saw her one take and concert and know that she has finally made it. So so so so happy for her.

[@goofyahhmf-dr7bz]

she really is a diamond that flashes over time

[@四号機少将]

A totally wholesome cover up! Thank you for this amazing video. There are many amazing talents in hololive but I personally think Suisei is a totally hardened diamond for keep pushing forward all this years. Thank you for all your hardworks Sui-chan!!
