Hololive Production COUNTDOWN LIVE 2025▷2026 (Part 2 of ?) Reaction

The signature elements for most Hololive characters are hair color, and eye color. Also, they tend to have one signature color that carries between outfits. For instance, the last number you checked out in this video: Moona is the taller one, with the long purple hair with yellow highlights, her eyes follow this color profile as well, being mostly purple with yellow highlights. Her accent color is purple which shows up in her outfit. Risu has brown hair, green eyes, and a pink accent color. Iofi has pink hair, purple eyes, and a green accent color. Generally, they keep to these color palettes so they can be consistently identified. Also in concerts the crowd usually has glow sticks that can have their color change. The audience members usually change these colors to follow the color of either the members on stage, or their Oshi (if they're currently performing)

Music MVs in case you wanted to react to them later: ID gen 3 (2022) - id:entity voices (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/Wp90CrP-s_8?si=z0ZVQaFeuQfKgU-e Originaly sung by gen 1 and 2 but this was gen 3 missing one member (she was on a mental break). Holox (2021) - Gyouan Xdeath (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/TZvJ1JSN6Fk?si=3UA4IDVN0_AOCIm7 Promise (Jul & Aug 2021)- Run Back 'Round (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/ffRfzZxyMiM?si=wtngRmLTtDxyKD6H ID gen 2 (Dec 2020) - Slap by Step (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/cZ4Yex_x6ZQ?si=5kb8IM4jDxwwL3Fn Something I should point out about the background "hai"(JP) is that in JP concerts the crowd is also part of the song so that is supposed to be the audience chanting. Most of the time it's short while other times it can be a long call and response. They are also called Holoro.

I watched a few clips of earlier gens from Hololive before i really started watching Hololive back in 2019, dragged into the Rabbit hole by Houshou Marine a jolly Pirate Captain of the Houshou pirates a member of Hololive JP's 3rd Generation "Fantasy" i consider her my Kami Oshi i love her personality and music very much. However a year later Hololive EN's first generation "Myth" Came along with a group of 5 members who i grew to love very much consisting of Mori Calliope(Death's Apprentice), Takanashi Kiara(The Phoenix) who had their the debut the 12th of september and 13th of september 2020. Ninomae Ina'nis(Priestess of the Ancient Ones), Gawr Gura (Shark from Atlantis) and Amelia Watson (Time Traveling Detective) had their debut's a very lovable bunch of girls that brought so much joy i consider them all oshi's and "Myth" is by far my favorite generation in Hololive. Sadly september 30th 2024 Amelia Watson decided to Graduate but with a new twist in the History of the company she was ceasing all activity, but still decided to stay in the company as an affiliate meaning she can pop in here and there if someone wants her to show up for a cool project. Within roughly half a year three members of Hololive i like very much decided to fully Graduate one being Ceres Fauna( aspect of Nature) & Nanashi Mumei (aspect of civilisation) of Hololive EN 2nd generation "Council" old name now "Promise" they are kinda like aspects of the universe made to protect the world by greater gods they Gratuated January 3rd 2025 and April 28th 2025 and a few days later on May 1st Gawr Gura of 1st Gen Myth Graduated all fully ceased their activites and left Hololive. it was a rather odd feeling that they had left upon the world, as someone who have struggled for the past 10 years with health issues and having them there for so many years as entertainment, good and sad times these four Graduations left a mark so good that when they left the mental tanked very hard leaving a feeling very much like when our family lost our grandma in 2018. it's very surreal how much of an impact random strangers can have on ones life. Wherever they go i hope there is a way i can cheer them on! while we have the term Oshi to show who we really love out of the bunch it feels kinda wrong to use. because i feel all the girls in Hololive work so hard all super talented even those people would say lack talent, i have so much respect for them to practice work hard and show haters otherwise it's really showed me a way of viewing music so differently over the years.

To identify them, looking mainly at the hair color will help you the most. Their outfits do change, for example, in this concert they all have their "Idol" or "Stage" Outfit, which is different from their normal design. I can fully understand that its overwhelming to get into this Rabbit Hole. I have followed Hololive for over 5 years now and my Spotify playlist (which doesnt include any of their awesome cover songs which are youtube only) has 400 songs in it. My recommendation would be to just start with whoever interest you the most, because everyone that performed here has some music out there. Some more than others, because some didnt even join Hololive to produce music and just stumbled into it. For example Ina, she is in the HoloEn 1st Generation and is a graphic artist with no music background upon joining in September 2020. During her first Karaoke streams she was embarassed that her parents would hear her, so she send them out of the house. last month she released her first EP and later this month she will have her first Concert in LA, together with Kiara. What makes a lot of them so interesting to follow, is to watch them grow over the years. Making us, the fans, want to do the same, improve ourselves. And they can do all of that while fully anonymus. My Oshi could sit in the train next to me and i would never know.

That last group had two vocal powerhouses, Moona Hoshinova and Ayunda Risu. The latter likes to break up her pitches into different personalities, Risu being her higher pitched 'nuttier' tone and Ayunda being her deeper 'mature' tone. Highly recommend any of her original songs. You're right that many of these songs don't display each talent's strengths as many group originals weren't meant to. That's one reason I suggest checking out past New Year's Eve concerts in the future if possible, 23>24 probably being their best one.

Watching this, If you keep this pace I expect 2 more parts. Next one will finish up this portion and then a final video for the special stage which is special songs for each entire branch.

When they have the big concerts for each branch. That’s where you get the individual, duo, trio and group singers. For the countdown style stuff. They usually tend to do the whole group thing and take turns so that everyone is involved.

The cool thing about the Indonesian girls, is that they’re all fluent in multiple languages. Most of them speak Indonesian and English and Japanese whenever on stream. Depending on which girls stream. Some might speak English more or Indonesian more. Personally, I feel like the Indonesian girls are the best singers. Sure Suisei is probably the best singer in all of hololive, but ID has insane singers overall and really only one that doesn’t put out a lot of musical content.

The New Year’s concert is one of the few events where they try to include everyone, so most performances end up being full-group songs. And in Hololive, not every talent prioritizes music the same way: some put a huge amount of time, money, and effort into it, while others mainly prefer streaming and treat music as a fun side project. That difference is also more noticeable between older and newer generations. Early on, Hololive’s focus was largely on recruiting talents who could be entertaining in a livestream setting (with some notable exceptions), whether that meant gaming, chatting, or singing. With the newer generations, especially DEV_IS, the focus is much more music-oriented. Because of that mix, a lot of the group songs have to be relatively “minimal,” since not everyone wants (or is able) to spend 12 hours a day practicing, while some members absolutely do. I’d still love to see you continue reacting to this, though. One of the things I enjoy most about Hololive is the diversity, different talents, different kinds of streams, and a huge range of music, so there’s something for almost everyone.

So Fortune Spinners was Myth. I've spoken on them before. Members for the song are Calliope Mori, Takanashi Kiara and Ninomae Ina'nis (Ina). They all do have very unique voices and personalities and have been through a lot together. Some other members let slip that they worked on this choreo together for over a month just for this performance. Very happy for them and glad you liked that song.

Ending it with Ayunda Risu on the screen. Nice, she is very versatile, can speak and sing in different voices and languages. Other hololive members have described her as the Celine Dion of Hololive. I'm sure you'll get requests for her amazing covers and originals.
