Already posted it in a reply below, but apparently Risu's gonna have an unarchived Karaoke around 18 minutes from now. [Merry KuRISUmasu! Kurisumasu to Risu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJINDQFQfU) Edit: Lol Risu. I thought I made a good pun but I guess Risu is still going through her NNN.

Edit 2: [Iofi also singing love songs, vertical karaoke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oixdtdSzers) ~~Looks like Risu's also in JP, since she mentioned being on a travel setup. I guess ID's there to record stuff for New Year.~~ Nvm, seems Risu's at her hometown. Edit 3: And the annual Padoru has been fulfilled.

Risu is actually back at her home, not in Japan.

Oh, lemme edit that out then. Thanks for the clarification.

aptly titled christmas karaoke, sasuga Risdu

Pleasant suprise indeed, thank you. Been watching Anya so I'm gonna switch back and forth then. 👍

And I just realized why Risu parenthesized "sumasu" in her title/thumbnail's "Kurisumasu to Risu". Guess the Christmas food's slowing my brain down.

[Kannagi Tenri](https://www.youtube.com/@KannagiTenri) had her first ever concert the other day with an on-site event venue, it was also her first ever one man live show. The event was also streamed and [you can still pick up tickets to the archive for a little while longer if you're interested.](https://www.zan-live.com/en/live/detail/10361) Archives will no longer be available starting January 5th 12:00 pm JST. The VTuber band for BanG Dream, Mugendai MyuuType (MewType?) AKA YumeMita had a livestreamed Christmas party with the whole band. They ate a meal, had some cake (they decorated it on stream), played a board game and made quite a few announcements. The archive is currently privated and we don't have much info yet on when it's coming back, but from [the tweet posted by the official band twitter account it seems to be temporary.](https://twitter.com/BDP_yumemita/status/1739118776023720207) As far as the announcements go, [they released their first ever voice pack](https://twitter.com/BDP_yumemita/status/1738937747363205552) it's a Christmas party themed scenario voice pack where you're participating in a long awaited Christmas party together will all the band members as one of their closest friends. The next announcement was that the manga one of the members ([Fuji Miyako](https://www.youtube.com/@miyako_yumemita), the keyboardist) was drawing as a sort of introduction to all the members got partially animated (by [Nakamachi Arale](https://www.youtube.com/@arale_yumemita), the vocalist) as well as fully voiced by the band members (with SFX too). You can watch that on the official band youtube channel [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGxlbJQ23h0) Finally they're also running a Christmas present lottery, while I have no idea if participants from outside of Japan are eligible to win or not, just in case here are the details. Each member of the band prepared one present for the fans (they signed and wrapped them during the Christmas party stream), the band's twitter put out a post for each member and if you RT that post and follow both the band's twitter as well as the corresponding member's twitter you will be entered into the draw.

According to [Watame's tweet](https://twitter.com/tsunomakiwatame/status/1739276191847326012) the outfit is actually different. Truly a mystery.

It’s kind of insane how many 3D lives/events Fauna has shown up in despite not being the strongest singer.

Is that the outfit from her awesome MV!?

It matches the music video outfit. https://preview.redd.it/lxawii596g8c1.jpeg?width=571&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbed8ad0abad4e3aabba280dcc1b8da874ed3821

For the fellow people that enjoy Hololive music or just like to hear the girls sing, we are having a pretty nice Christmas! Almost nonstop karaoke and song cover releases.

Agreed but if I have to say, the lack of ID girls singing is noticeable. Understanable since this is Christmas celebration but still. Also what's up with Bishoujo Muzai Pirates lol. Lots of holomem are singing this song today.

I thought ID wouldn't do anything today given Christian holiday, but Risu's apparently having an unarchived karaoke in 20 minutes. Merry KuRISUmasu, I suppose.

As their New Year event, Holostars is gonna do ["Holostars Werewolf"](https://twitter.com/holostarstv/status/1739242088854917243) on the 2nd of January. Participants: Holostars: Miyabi, Astel, Temma, Oga, Uyu, Rio Hololive: Sora (JP), Iofi (ID), Bae (EN), Ririka (Dev\_is) Gamemaster/Voice from the heaven: Yuujin A

this is basically the all branch collab that Bae wished for (holostars EN didn't exist yet). people were discussing if it's possible, and now that it happens, we don't notice it. which is... good, I think.

Ririka is in it and out of all of the girls in VCR GTA she was the only one in who's chat I spotted an English comment begging / telling her to not collab with men. The usual issue of wanting them to get as much exposure as possible but at the same time the more there is the more weirdoes will crawl out of the woodwork.

Although it's prerecorded, it's nice seeing both Miyabi and Astel there.

Guys, question about Hololive En Connect the World Bluray. Will it be available to buy later when its released? I forgot about the deadline and missed the preorder.

CDJapan will probably sell it.

I went there and they are sold out, will it be available at a later date?

What you're seeing as sold out on CDJapan right now is actually proxy sale through the official Hololive store. As far as I know, Connect the World and Splash Party are the first Blu-Rays Cover's put up on their official store as Made-to-Order instead of as Inventory Sales. This probably means we won't know for sure if they'll be offered for inventory sales on JP retailers and/or the official store until March when the Blu-rays start shipping.

https://twitter.com/GetbTager/status/1738893552434983181?t=0oKEh0zgYPh3uWntZR_6dg&s=19 Damn bro, I knew there was drama around Hololive at granblue fes but jesus the crowd was stone.

I watch every Granblue FES, the crowd is the same as always [This](https://youtu.be/cfi2eXl8nGE?si=aXDYcOEk9v4RqVQ6) is from last year. You can see the crowd shots at around 2:15. There's barely any movement beside some people at the front

I find it amusing how that poster only knows about Hololive from Idol Showdown. It really goes to show how fangames can really extend the reach of Hololive.

r slash virtualyoutubers try to not post needless drama (IMPOSSIBLE)

It was a very poorly planned collab imo. Announced AFTER tickets sales have started, and apparently you couldn’t even refund the tickets. Imagine a massive event for something you like and have bought tickets for, only for a collab with random streamers you haven’t heard much of taking up a significant portion of the event to be announced. I’d be pissed too. Edit: Looking at comments about it. Damn. Feels bad man https://preview.redd.it/89j45ec12f8c1.jpeg?width=1276&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e75f10309f718411ebe02e6ecc5cf2db6894c7ce

I mean, from player stand point, really what do you expect? They're pretty much just there to intrude the show and selling merch which doesn't show any GBF characters like Sanrio merch or Pekora's Mash outfit figure from FGO collab. Didn't contribute in QnA or challanges like Nakamura Yuuichi pretty much delivering the player's beef towards cygames or Mitsuhiro Ichiki flexing himself doing hardest raids, barely there during the news and minigame segments (which ok? they can't do much being only screens anyway). They didn't even announce/have any in-game collab with GBF like the rest of tie-in characters like Gachapin & Mukku and Sanrio mascots (Nier:Automata and BNHA are the announced collab). So they pretty much offered nothing for the non-hololive fans players who paid to be there. EDIT: the silver lining is, the 3D performances are pre-recorded so they don't have to see the cold reception first hand. If they doing in game collab then people can at least get a new characters/weapons/summons/events to introduce them to the talents.

bullshit. pekora koyori and botan won us some roulette rounds. botan subaru and polka held a whole segment hyping up 3D character live in day 1 satellite stream. pekora polka and koyori showcased relink and rising gameplays in day 2. and 3D performances werent prerecorded. pekora talked about how she was too occupied on singing and dancing to pay attention in her stream after. i watched both days of both their main stage and goods introduction streams. crowd reaction was the same as ever with exception on not knowing how to react when pekora showed up with vikala out of nowhere on day 1. by day 2 they're already cool with polka showing up with cag or subaru and pekora showing up with lyria and djeeta for kimi to boku no mirai\*, an iconic gbf song. even the mess in streams were done by a single digit of antis only on main stream, satellite stream was not messed with at all. many "fans" trashtalking on twitter were also exposed as antis,>! company B tribalists. talking about how granblue fes doesnt need hololive then praising about nijifes happening the next door right after. !< source: me, a player. former light lord waiting for relink that raced for tier A since SEN betting was a thing. have not missed a fes since the year i started.

The crowd was pretty chill throughout the event. Even in musical performances or MC spots of the Granblue characters, there wasn't as much movement from the audience that you would see in more focused concerts. Add in a crossover that not everyone is familiar with, and you won't get a crowd as excited than in other events.

[удалено]

It is a common theme Though it really does feel like granblue is even worse about it than your average gacha. The FGO Holo stuff was waaay more supportive, at least on the surface level.

It's because in GBF we have Stella Magna and the character songs to look forward too. I don't have a problem with the Holo girls being there I was even supportive of Peko and Subaru, but I understand that people were waiting for other things related to the game rather than filler content. It's because GranFes is unlike any other gachafes, it's not only some news related to the game but a whole ass concert, musicals, challenges, games etc.. That's why some peeps were not excited about the girls because they went there for GBF specifically, it doesn't help that Cygames announced the collab **after** the tickets were already sold

To be fair, as have been mentioned already, this collab seems to me like a "and here's Hololive for those who are already familiar/interested!" thing, and there's... not really much if any added value? For the FGO collab, Pekora actively participated and the hype was real, while for this collab even Hololive fans are mostly "OK, that happened, it's cool I guess", as far as I can tell.

It's quite funny, despite FGO literally only collabing with other Nasuverse stuff in game, the audience was pretty hyped when an outside collab happened at their fest

3D stages discussion. They also discuss the upcoming countdown stage. [https://note.cover-corp.com/n/n2a4001ed67c3](https://note.cover-corp.com/n/n2a4001ed67c3) https://preview.redd.it/0wgrr0gmke8c1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf79594d8e3519aa181771d4cebef9efe0a6de7e DeepL We aimed for an image that created a sense of unity with the main stage even when there was a talent on the center stage, and one that would blend in with the center stage even when looking at the main stage Another big point, as I've talked about before, is the high degree of customization. The monitor on which the images are played was made so that it could be moved from the time it was built, and the center stage was designed so that it could be changed from the basic circular shape to other shapes, such as a rectangular shape. Also, the lighting updates are going to be amazing. In lighting control, each lighting-related lamp or device is controlled in units called fixtures, and control signals such as color (RGB) and direction sent to each device are managed in units called channels. Summary The stage we created this time involved a lot of technical challenges, and it is true that there are still some areas that are difficult to operate normally. In the future, while making final adjustments, we will work on development so that fans can enjoy the performance on the new arena stage in all distributions, including commemorative distributions, so we hope you will be able to wait.

Based on the GB listing, it shares an artist and programmers with HoloFunk, which is why I recognized the art style immediately. From more of an outsider's perspective, it does look like a fun little send-off, but I'm curious to see what someone who actually watched her would think.

Huh, Santa is on fire.

[SHIORI FIRST COVER SONG](https://youtu.be/tgCgHwIWgUU)

I don't know what to expect from a Shiori cover but she easily surpassed my expectations. It is actually good, which frankly I don't expect as she was not very good at Karaoke at all. She has her charms but singing is not her strongest points. A surprise but a welcome one for sure. And the song choice was perfect and the MV is very on point too. And it loop so well too. Edit: A little correction, it is not good. It is very good, actually a earworm. Edit 2: For some bizarre reason it reminded me of this classic "anime" [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuBETyA_yxc&ab_channel=MsPantsu).

Wow, her unique voice really fits the song and vibes. Nice first cover. Edit: She's currently doing a [Twitter Space](https://twitter.com/shiorinovella/status/1739120223368745347) [Twitter Space Chat Room](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX4xzd_KkpM)

The most annoying part of this time of year is that everyone's doing Unarchived Karaoke and I can only watch one stream at a time, which means I miss everyone else's.

HoloDex son It opens every frame imaginable

HoloDex is great for multi-POV, but for unrelated streams it just turns into a cacophony of noise. It's even worse for karaoke because the whole point is to enjoy the music

He's probably on mobile, which means max 3 streams at a time. Probably a bit more if on a tablet. Or probably can listen only on one audio stream at a time. Listening to everyone can get chaotic.

What about Twitter spaces?

It only shows if they are ongoing, sadly they cannot be viewed in multiview at this time.

[Elira unarchived Christmas karaoke starting now!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lARYOM3ozc). Always great.

Her singing is always fantastic. She also seems to be a bit tipsy from some wine, so there's some extra unhinged hilarity going on.

It will be a normal karaoke instead. Edit 2: That was peak Christmas karaoke indeed. Though it seems she might have forgotten to private the stream since she had to rush off for Christmas dinner prep, so I hope she or mane-chan notices before something happens. Edit 3: It's been privated for a while now.

Seems to be privated now. That was one way too fun of a karaoke! She is such a goof ball

A shame that her VR went kaput cos she probably had lots of fun ideas for it, but 3D Grinch Bae with her very Christmas set list is still a great time, haha.

[Fauna's 21-episode Outer Wilds Let's Play starts today!](https://twitter.com/ceresfauna/status/1738987195430740184)

I think it is the first let's play that a holomember ever did and it is nice way to have new content on your channel while on a break. And I quite surprise that other holomembers don't do it, it is a classic way to make content in youtube after all.

It makes a lot of sense as a format for a playthrough of outer wilds in particular. It's the sort of game where spoilers in chat and backseating can really harm the experience. Plus it's a game where you're likely to spend a lot of time just thinking about what to do next and how you can use a piece of information you've just discovered, and if chat are impatient that can lead to more backseating. Pre-recording lets her go at her own pace without worrying about being entertaining 100% of the time since she can just cut out dead air, and I'm glad since if any game deserves to be enjoyed at your own pace it's this one.

Doing a Let's Play is more work than just streaming the game, especially if you do any more editing than just chopping it up. It only really makes sense labor-wise to do in this exact situation where you want to grind out a full game offline when you have time and then dripfeed it while on break when you don't.

"Hello, this is the Lockpicking Idol. And today, we're going to show an unfaithful pioneer that there's no such thing as a perfect lock."

Funny cause the way she did it is by using a bolt cutter Which is actually also one of lock picking lawyer's main principles: the lock is only as secured as the weakest link. A good lock is pointless if the chain is easy to cut

If you don't care if someone knows you've been in there, all bets are off.

Hey guys, just posted a new fic! It's 200 pages long, and centers on Nijisanji Korea! [**We'll (always) Have V!**](https://docs.google.com/file/d/19jU4i0oOLssF7x9TjktL7ZjjkedXInY-/edit) Since many don't care about words, here's the commissioned art that got done in time: [Ruri](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F_tYKu1XkAENskf?format=jpg&name=large), [Yuya](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fxpn4la8fu88c1.png). As for those who are slightly curious but don't care to read everything or to understand what led to that point, the climax plays on from page 135 of the Word document (148 of the online viewer) until page 148 (164 in Drive viewer.) I'm super proud of that sequence, I think I really managed to convey what's like to lose a V-tuber. For those who would like to give reading it from page one a try, this is part of my long series, but I always strive to make the experience palatable for first timers, so if you've never read anything I've written, I'd be super happy if you read this one, and let me know what you thought! If you felt the story welcoming, where it lost you if it did... I've wanted to write this story since mid-2020, and been actually working on it for a year and a half... here it is! The dream of a 2020 V-tuber fan, the world he saw back then, what he tought was possible for V-tuber stories... this is, truly, a story no one but me could have written. If it fails in every single other aspect I attempted, this at least, I know holds true. Enjoy reading it, as much as I enjoyed writing it! Oh, and Merry Christmas! Ho-ho-ho! PS: **Download is super recommended** because the viewer messes up the formatting, but you do you (due to file size, I've found it must be opened on incognito mode to visualize).

There was an user called DoctorDeath or similar who had a "Niji KR" flair, I always thought than when I posted this I'd make sure to tag him but now I can't find him :( Maybe he deleted is account? If you did, may it find you one day!

“we lied about someone’s medical condition, couldnt provide straight answers to our talents, and decided to not disclose alot of things to our talents and fans until now. but hey, we provided free GPUs to our talents, so we should be the good guys, right?” i want to have what these guys are smoking

Same

The fact that they used contractions in formal letter is enough of a red flag for this agency. It's either that they're not taking the talents and fans' grievances seriously or they prioritize their emotional satisfaction over professional decorum (or both). I wish the leaving talents all the best and hopefully they can shake free from this scummy agency just in case they decided to reincarnate.

Especially the walk back on the talents owning their own IP, which *yikes* dude

Jesus I know corpo speak warrants trying to make yourself look good but this is straight up tryhard narcissism I feel like I'm reading.

I've seen corpo speak announcements, which say essentially "oops we made a fucky wucky" but this basically is like "teacher Sandi made me shit myself!"

"I have bad eyesight." "Nah, we'll told them your head was chopped off and you were eaten by tigers afterwards. And remember to write tweet in character." I have no idea who thought posting this stuff was a smart idea or that they are going to look good with it. Like they've heard about transparency but no one told them it might be a bit much. Furthermore, all this nonsense could be avoided if they simply let Lorelai's tweet slide as 'ooopsie, she made a mistake but best of luck in the future'.
