Hololive 2025 Countdown (part 3 of 4) WITH STUDY GUIDE!

Well Tim, are we gonna get the last and final part for this one ? I can guarantee you it would be really interesting. This is the part where each of hololive's branches has its own song (ReGloss, EN, ID, and JP). My recommendation goes to the ID branch's one, as it's a real breath of fresh air.

Is part 4 this month Tim?

Having a look at Tokino Sora's music I feel is a must if your are getting into Hololive, with her being the founding member. Aside from that she is also a talented singer in her own right. She's been called the human Vocaloid for how high and fast she can sing. When she was a kid she wanted to do opera, but the opportunity never came, but her chance came when she and her friend (A-chan) approached Cover Corp. (Hololive's parent company) about being a Vtuber and starting Hololive. This was in 2016-2017 at the dawn of vtubers as a concept. Sora wasn't an immediate success, but she and the staff at Hololive persevered, slowly growing their audience and skills as creators, attracting other talents to bring into the group, and becoming international sensation they are today. Some songs of Sora's to have a look at are Star Star Start, Diva, Alien Alien (cover), Step and Go, or Love Words IV (cover)

i think some of the challenge your having with your notes is it seem that alot of them are describing there default outfits. in this stream most of the talents are using there idol outfits, most still share there colors but details differ

Music MVs in case you wanted to react to them later: Gen 4 (2019/2020) - Seishun Archive (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/YzQCNmk3YYA?si=fVqviEMstOxLhVgi Was an anthem for Holo Summer and is meant to be sung by all members at once. Gen 3 (Jul/Aug 2019) - 夢見る空へ No MV Gen is also known as Holo Fantasy. They are in their idol outfits here so besides their hair or tattoos, their outfit descriptions don't help. Noel's normal outfit looks like a knight. Gamers (Dec 2018) - We're Gamers (Coloured CC) https://youtu.be/UATaOzzxq_0?si=8dxMHrITcV6rQAal I highly recommend reacting to this MV as there are a lot of retro game referances. The song introduces each member which is why mid way through they do a call and response. Mio's tail is wrapped around her leg (most people mistake her hair for a tail). Gen 2 (Aug/Sep 2018) - Kirameki Rider https://youtu.be/AB_CKhn3ZrI?si=53gFvwii5OKcpRtn Link goes to HoloEN channel where they sing the EN version and lyrics are part of the video. This song probably has more to it since it was early with few members to learn and all living within Japan but with Hololive Fes. happening every year with a new song, they need to song to be easier to learn and train alone as half the talents live outside of Japan. Just because you mentioned she was brighter, Subaru is known as the sun/sunshine of hololive. gen 1 (May/Jun 2018)- Cyber Pure Love Dedication (Coloured CC but JP only) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KYhMk63lj4 Gen 0 (Sora-2017, Robocosan-Mar 2018, Miko-Aug 2018, Suisei-Mar 2018, ASKI-Nov 2018) Shiny Smiley Story, better known as "SSS" (CC but there is always 2+ people singing so not coloured) https://youtu.be/68KV7JnrvDo?si=rubSx21dn5xRpi44 This song is refered to as the Hololive National Anthem, and holds a lot of signifance in the fandom. Sora, being the first talent, is called the dai-senpai which translates to the most senior. If you google "dai-senpai" she is the first result because even vtubers outside of the company call her their senpai. Sora is opera trained. There is a clip or two of her doing opera during karoke. The clip you saw of Miko was THE clip but there were many clips from her playthrough. Keep in mind the N word is only known as a slur in english.

Omg I can't believe you watched the Sakura Miko clip LMAO (obviously she had no idea what it meant) It's so famous, I saw it so many years ago before I even started watching Hololive. Looking forward to the last part and I hope you react to more concerts/lives in the future.

People have commented on the fact that the Live tab is where you need to go for a lot of their streams, but I'll add a secondary note here--karaoke streams tend to be unarchived on the official channels due to copyright issues, but fans have uploaded fan-archives of the karaokes. A lot of the best music from the girls are things they only perform in karaoke rather than ever releasing officially. ERB, Nerissa, Gura and Gigi especially do TONS of karaoke streams so a lot of that content is going to be hidden on fan channels.

during their big concerts all of them have their Stage uniforms mostly new ones or updated ones for each big concert. so if you want to see their base uniforms you would have to watch their videos or early music videos for their base outfits. As for watching these concerts i have watched all the new years count downs for as long as they have been going each year early in the morning they enter the new years around 4pm my time i think it was. i buy every years FES stream tickets and the blu-rays afterwards if i can afford it.

Youtube channel @hololivesongs9790 makes 2 compilations each week of the top viewed songs of Hololive (top 30 originals and a top 50 ). I think that is a good place to start diving into the musical talents of Hololive if you are interested.

While Robocosan isn't one of the strong singers in Hololive, I think her song Azamina is worth checking out because what she does with her voice on it is very interesting.

If you are interested in Watame songs then you are in luck. Most of them have english subtitles. My favorite is WataMeister. Where she shows off her rap skills in instrumentals that I can only describe as city at night mixed with club. For me it's as close as you can get to musical perfection.

For the final video we have the SPECIAL STAGE brought to you by Coke! This will be LARGE branch wide groups. So there are lots of people moving in and out. Don't worry about recognizing them all. Prism Melody - preformed by Japanese branch Generations 3-6 Show Them (Who You Are) - Hololive Indonesia All for One - Hololive English DEV_IS Medley - Hololive DEV_IS performing a Medly Mix of their songs OUR BRIGHT PARADE - Hololive Japan Generations 0, 1, 2 and Gamers (The Hololive Anthem)

There are a ton of famous gta Hololive clips. They all played the game together and interacted with all the branches and made a lot of good clips and laughs. Some of them are trying to bring it back. A lot of the JP members don’t really know any English really and repeat the words said in games that look like insults, which is one of the clips you saw in the most infamous Miko clip. A habit that a lot of them stopped doing and will just repeat random English words that don’t seem like they could be bad now. That definitely is the clip they were talking about. Caused a big ole ordeal that stretched into professional gaming. Obviously management messed up by not telling the JP members to not repeat it before they played.

The story of Generation 0 and Tokino Sora Cover Corporation was originally a tech company to sell VR motion capture hardware and software. A-chan (from Suisei's Story) was a worker for this company. They were having issues selling their products and getting investments so A-chan came up with a fun idea. To showcase their products they should create a character like the popular internet personality Kizuna Ai. (the first major Vtuber whom was also owned by another tech company and being used to showcase their products capabilities) A-chan brought in her friend, a girl who was trying to become a Japanese Idol at the time and had her take on the role of Tokino Sora. They had Sora try out live streaming just as a test to showcase their products reacting in real time. However this too, ended up failing. There was, however, something there that A-chan noticed. Sora was starting to pick up more and more viewers to her live streams. Looking over the data of Sora and the growth/success of Kizuna Ai and Kaguya Luna (the second major Vtuber) and since they were failing to sell their products to larger tech companies, proposed to the president of the Cover Corporation to make a shift from a tech company and into becoming a Vtuber/Idol talent agency. And thus Hololive was born!

So, a lot of the big group songs that are featured in the big hololive concerts (Kirameki Rider, Shiny Smily Story, etc.) are written to be anthemic and sung by a big group of singers who have a huge range of singing ability. We're talking 15-30 hololive members all singing together at once. This is why a lot of them have mostly unison singing without much complicated part writing. It keeps it cleaner for a joyful group-singing kind of sound OH! Also, when your research is describing the members' outfits, that will be for the standard 2D model that they debut with, NOT their 3D performance outfit. For instance, Noel's "iconic knight" look is very apparent if you look at her 2D model. In this show they are all wearing matching idol outfits, so the clothing is a bad way to try to distinguish them here

I can't wait for part 4 thats where we can hear the whole branch songs

Careful with calling Towa "TMT" since she requested people stop calling her that after the joke got ran into the ground, similar to Ouro Kronii asking fans to stop mentioning Subway sandwiches, lol. Definitely keep an eye on Houshou Marine from the 2nd group. Like Suisei, she's a pretty well known artist in Japan with her songs getting radio play over there. Lots of great songs to check out on her channel. Inugami Korone's first stream was such a catastrophe, that it got used to teach new gens what not to do during debuts lol. But she turned those failings into strengths, learning the ins and outs to become one of the most entertaining streamers. There's a popular vid on YT where the creator discusses why he hates VTubers, but by the end, after watching so much of them for research, he had to admit Korone rubbed off on him. There's a live performance from 5th FES on AZKi's channel of her and Suisei singing The Last Frontier, it's an emotional goodbye song she wrote when her music label was being shutdown and her future as an artist was uncertain.

A fun fact, Ado absolutely loves Marine and has talked about her on her podcast and such.

So, not all the girls, “post” a lot of stuff. They just mainly go live and post new music songs or really big collabs and stuff. If you click on their live section. You would see their vods there for their streams.

Coco also graduated to protect the other girls from backlash with YouTube being an American company and analytics that she showed on stream had Taiwan as its own country and not as Chinese Taipei. Which, angered some people. People are extra hard on the Japanese talents for whatever reason.

The final part of countdown are branch anthems of holo jp, holo en, holo id and a medley of dev_is songs. I think you will really enjoy holo Id 's song the most

The reason you dont see active Video Posting on their Channels is, that they are mainly streamers, you gotta look into the "Live" tab instead of the "Video" tab on their Channels They are active there, posting music (originals/covers) every few months, that you can see under Videos then

I definitely recommend a deeper dive into Houshou Marine! Lots of amazing songs under her belt with very high production music videos, she's sensational.

Just FYI, if you go into the channel page of a Hololive member, most of the content is in the Live tab rather than the Videos tab. Videos is mostly for music releases and other projects, and they are predominately live streamers so you'll see most of the active content in the Live section.

Hololive predominantly livestream on YouTube, YouTube kinda screws over the channel if you post videos and stream at the same time so videos are rarer, usually the entire stream vods are available in the live tab.
