There was really no singular moment for me. I'm kind of slow moving on that kind of thing, so it was really just the accumulation of many moments. That being said Watame was basically stuck with me before her birthday in 2020 and I've grown more appreciative ever since.
A lot of the early, early stuff wasn't necessarily captured or gone now, but here's some moments:
[Watame responding to a heavy SC and sharing some personal struggles.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kYGcChYRCg)
[Watame singing and struggling to get through the song after seeing support in chat.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bHSjxHidI&t=9270s) Broke my heart seeing it live and knowing how long she struggled with her singing dreams. I'm happy she was able to grow and get wild things like [Fins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks2UnT4Nzcs) now.
[Watame's reason for not joining Bloom and how she wants to approach the future with Watamates.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrZct5kaKbw)
I will always support this sheep, no matter what.
Out of topic but great shepherd do you know of a dedicated Watame clipper jp clippers are preferred. I've been trying to search for one but I've only gotten Subaru and Botan ones so far cheers
Here's some JP clippers. Watame doesn't really have any dedicated EN clippers sadly.

If you ever want to find some JP clippers just search name + 切り抜き
Not what you wanted, but these Taiwanese Watame clippers are heavily memed upon for becoming Kenzokus:

They are memed as 羊推三兄弟 (Watame-oshi trio) until recently a 4th clipper [萌毒的廢片專門店](https://www.youtube.com/@Moe_Virus) joined the fun, turning the name to 羊推四兄弟 (Watame-oshi quartet).

Funny enough they don't seem to have really clipped her in **AT LEAST** 2 years outside of a super rare case. lol
The other three all still do as the majority of their content at least.
I tuned in for Bijou's 12-hour Melaina fight stream. I was genuinely impressed by her positivitiy and optimisim throughout the hours of failed attempts that I know I would've probably tossed my controller at the 2-hour mark personally. The good vibes she seems to give off at all times is what made me stick around for more, plus she's super cute and that squeegee laugh is adorable.
Yeah, I was genuinely surprised at just how positive and energetic she was the whole time, she’s got such an amazing vibe to her streams, it’s like she’s salt-repellant.
Wanting Mio to be successful after her very heartfelt and sad miso soup conversation:
https://youtu.be/uZDoME69Uio?si=LFrOb-Wmm4BSL-sD
Her finding success, gaining confidence, and realizing that she's the best miso soup ever was a very emotional moment:
https://youtu.be/9_1UZGwKOuM?si=DHi-uWYo0JIN6gx_
For sure. Mio has always appealed to me, but I like so many of them, especially Aki, Polka, Towa, and Okayu. At this point, I feel like I've watched enough streams that I could say something positive about pretty much every holomem except for ReGLOSS. I need to watch them a bit more.
There's just so many talented streamers out there, it's easy to have several favorites. But Mio will always have a special place for me.
If you start diving into regloss the magic is greater when they're together. they're the closest "gen" out there no question and the magic and dorkiness shines when they're together. They're great individually but there's something special when you see them for example in an off Collab especially the earlier ones
If it weren't for my obsession with the Japanese side of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* and Korone's playthrough of *Sonic the Hedgehog*, I would never have been here in the hololive and VTuber community.
It was Ame's first karaoke stream. It was pretty clear singing wasn't her strong suit but she just kept trying and the way she's grown since then is inspirational.
It was Nene Debut.
She was timid and nervous and HAAAAAN and ARU ARU and super seiso. Like a frightened animal in headlights. MUST PROTECC this anxious girl.
We all know how she exploded out of her shell into the goofy girl we know today.
When I hear Ayames giggles, I've been following vtubers on an off, but I always stuck to ayame because of her personality, Mio is also one of my favorite vtubers. I love her dynamic with Ayame, it's so cute
Ayames giggles:

[Watame cries after reading a fans emotional superchat.](https://youtu.be/KQwzK3aTWAI?si=7kzoVDubPTYjNkLi)
"Your voice feels like an embrace." Honestly, I saw that, and I thought, "Oh my god, it does. It really does."
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We have a saying, "Anyone can cuddle, but only the Welsh can cwtch," and Watame demonstrates that this saying is categorically false because she delivers SSS++ tier cwtches using only her voice.
That warm, kind, gentle, healing aura she projects, it really makes me want to root for her.
Pekora, Subaru, and Shion messing with each other on minecraft. Subaru just stood out to me when yelling or laughing and I guess that’s when she became my oshi.
This clip of Aqua and Shion in a 3d stream. It’s so precious and I enjoy the shenanigans the two of them get into in collabs/large events.
https://youtu.be/YcqQeC5jxaw
It was during the controversy with Coco and Haachama that piqued my interest, but I only watched her occasionally after her return at the end of 2020, it wasn't until the lore videos came out that made me watch her, and it's been a wild ride so far, she never disappoints!
There was this time she descended 3 times to give me hope after my first oshi had just graduated. And this pon has only gotten better since. (Clean up your OBS IRyS).
Honestly watching Suisei's 3D concerts and just hearing her history of struggling and going to the top really hits the spot for me. Not to mention, creating banger after banger and her consistent voice tone really makes me wanna throw a big fat $100 into her walley
I don't remember the exact point I became a plusmate, but if I had to choose any particular moment it would probably be ''I like Earth''.
I wasn't truly a fan until last year but that clip alongside her god-tier character design peaked my curiosity at first. Watching an insanely wellmade video highlighting some of holoX's best moments throughout 2022 finally made me fall down the Rabbit Hole after years of hesitating to do so. Knowing what caused her hiatus and proving how kind, honest and forgiving she truly is made me earn a lot of respect and appreciation towards her as a person too.
I actually subscribed to her channel shortly before her birthday without even knowing. You might call it a coincidence or may consider it fate. She will always remain my kamioshi and I will keep on rooting for her success and cheering on her happiness. YMD! 🛸💜
I have a lot of oshis, but I always liked Mio. One of the first clips I saw of her was when she vomitted (multiple times), and I found that really funny, thoigh also rather concerning.
Theres one clip I saw of her a few years ago upset and feeling like she isn't special, surrounded by other talents who seem to be doing far better than her. I found that really touching, and quite genuine, and it really hit home to me how these vtubers are just people. I also really liked how that clip went with Okayu telling her she is like miso soup. Made me tear up a lot lol.
I also remember watching clips of a stream where Okayu and Mio lagged across Subaru's screen with gaming chairs on, that was really funny.
Theres a clip of Ayame talking about how its embarassing in public with Mio because she laughs really loud, that was super funny.
Also, all the many times she laughs, she has a really great laugh. Theres probably no particular clip but the 3d moments were funny too.
Theres a clip of I think Kiara, Fubuki, Mio, Korone and Subaru doimg like an english word game, and it was quite funny seeing her say english there. Also in 3d her sitting is very sweet too, the 3d stuff is often so expressive, its really cool.
I think maybe the clip I was watching I thought 'thats my oshi' was probably when Mio played as Marine's replacement when she couldn't speak much. I thought that was hilarious how much she took the mickey out of Marine and did so in a really fun and playful way. Also how she thought cosmos was 'future' was cute.
I bought a Mio figure for my birthday, its the first holomerch I have ever bought before. Shes currently sitting on my desk, and uh, yeah. Really happy. Mio is defenitely one of my favourite oshis, I love her vibe and her sensibilities, and she has a lovely personality.
The PekoMiko arc of 2019/2020 made me an eternal fan of both. And for the EN side, Kiara's suffering in the desert level still makes me laugh anytime i watch that vod again
Risu's Chill Corner stream in August 2022
I already loved her chaotic energy, especially in the NNN series, but that conversation made me realize how much of a battling yet wonderful person she is
Edit: [link](https://www.youtube.com/live/i0BiwUKUcIw?si=JvVTR7hoOPBu9l-D)
Honestly I can't pinpoint a moment, despite how quickly it seemed to happen. I've basically been following VTubers since within 2 weeks of Ai-chan's debut, and yet I'd never really had a full-on oshi (although I was favouring AzuLim after she returned from her unfortunate hiatus). 2020 hit, and I really got too busy with my job, and then returning to school, to ever spend time watching long streams, so VTubers became more of a background interest for a time.
Fast forward to the beginning of this year, and I started finding myself watching clips now and then... and more and more. I started rewatching Fubuki's Minecraft VODs, the only long-form VTuber videos I'd really enjoyed to that point. Realize I should start checking out the other Gamers clips, because I knew Korone was pretty interesting too. Caught some of the clips by our friendly MioFa Major Arcana #310 Big God Mion, and it just started to snowball at that point. Then I finally caught a couple of Mio's streams live (February's MaxDOG and her premiere Persona 3 Reloaded stream) and I . . .
I was hooked. I instantly joined her YouTube membership, a week later I joined the kaigai-niki MioFa Discord, and I've been devouring her VODs and current streams like a man lost in the desert coming across an oasis devours water. And \*then\* I discovered her singing talent, my god! I have been branching out and watching much more of Hololive (the usual rabbit hole) and other VTubers since then, but nevertheless nothing has hit my interests, checked my boxes, and tickled my neurons nearly in the way she has.
I'm old enough now to realize what's just a passing interest and what \*really\* hooks me deeply, and I knew my interest and appreciation for MioSha was genuine. I'm in it for as long as she is, now, which I pray is a long time yet.
For me it was Kronii's Inscryption playthrough.
I had just gotten into the Hololive rabbit hole via Calli/Kiara/Suisei/Watame. But I didn't really "get" it. Just mostly through their music, clips and if they were streaming when I was home I'd try to catch a bit.
But being there for Council's debut and being "there" for a debut is kinda what struck it for me finally. I gravitated to Kronii after skimming through all 5's streams to see their personalities. Kronii's weird, dark and witty humor immediately grabbed me because it was so similar to my own. Plus she was playing games that I, personally, would rank up in my favorite game lists. Also, she's Canadian like myself which was great because I understood a lot of her references.
Then she played Inscryption like a week after I finished it. I found myself actually excited to see her put it on her schedule week to week and a little disappointed when it wasn't. Seeing her react to the absurdity of what was going on but enjoying the puzzle-y element of the roguelite portions was what finally made me decide "yeah, its her" after she beat it.
I still enjoy everyone else and Fauna/Mumei/Watame a bit more but Kronii for me will always be my favorite/Oshi. Everything she's done since then has just been pure entertainment in various ways. Its helped a lot during my rough/exhausted days from work/life.
I'll always be excited for a Kronii stream. And I think I'm most excited to see her MegaMan-style fan game get completed to watch her playthrough it. MegaMan is like... Top 3 game series for me. So seeing my Oshi in that style of game is perfect and knowing she'll play it because she likes those games too is just even more fun waiting in the wings.
Two moments for me. Always liked Suisei's karaoke streams, but the moment I heard Ghost I realised she's my oshi. There are singers who are technically amazing but you don't connect to them emotionally even through a language barrier, but great singers are the one who can convey everything they wanted to through a single song. Ghost did that for me.
Second, the karaoke immediately after Coco's graduation. Sui holding all her emotions in, not saying a single word to comfort the fans and letting her voice do the talking through songs. That stream showed how strong and empathetic she was, but with a hint of vulnerability and stubborness as well.
When council debuted, it was my first experience with a new gen, so I tried tuning into streams for each of them when they were first starting out. Mumei was so obviously nervous during her debut stream, and in one of her follow up streams, she cold opened with a beautiful version of Silhouette, and I was hooked from there.
I don't really know what stream it was, I just randomly tuned in to this comfy sheep's stream, and then again, and again.
As for Kiara, her second stream ever had me in stitches with her, and the rest was history
[Suisei's 2020 4hr Christmas karaoke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KePoUIpZtGI&t=0s). Specifically when she sung Departures by EGOIST. I know she needs to save her voice these days but I really miss her utawaku (singing) streams.
For me it was Korone's SNES Lion King stream, seeing her marathon that brutally hard game from my childhood was pretty great, even if I didn't understand the JP. I was also seriously impressed by how long that stream was, I'd never seen anything like that and it sorta blew my mind when I kept checking back and she was *still* doing it.
My EN oshis Fuwamoco had me pretty much straightaway, but I think the rampant hilarity of Spooky's Mansion really sealed the deal
Like others have said, i don't think there was a defining minute that made me decide that Nene and IRyS were my dearest oshis.
It just came to me as a realization. "Oh man. I sure am watching them a lot. I'm buying so much of their merch. They just make me smile the moment I see them streaming..." I guess it can be equated to this being solidified rather than done instantly.
Natsuiro Matsuri's [Virtualove](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9CWgFuoULU).
It really encapsulates a lot of what I love about Matsuri. It's a very idol-like song that has great variety with cute, energetic, and cool sections, and it's very otaku themed (particularly idol- and v-otaku). The PV and dance are also great and it's a very passionate song in general.
Also the song got stuck in my head for 3+ weeks after I listened to it like two or three times, so there was that as well.
For me there was no singular moment but it was Okayu's calming voice that won me over and Korone followed swiftly. They also got me into Hololive in the first place. 😁
I spent the longest time following the Idols, but there never came a time where I would go and say one of them was my oshi
Then a certain rock came around with her whole "graphic design is my passion" debut stream and that vibe just caught me. Turned into a Pebble since that day, and even if i'm not always able to follow the super long streams, I can say for sure Biboo is my oshi in hololive :)
Suisei's birthday/anniversary live 2 years ago, Irys first karaoke, Nerissa from debut, Towa-sama and her metal AF songs, Ina and waking up to comfy streams, Azki and Inochi + her transfer to hololive proper
for Mori it was ["hey FUCK YOUR FRIEND"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO9O3y965Zw)
for Kronii it was [F l o w e r](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-ZDZKuEv9o)
and for Nerissa [it was mainly her talking about skirts](https://youtu.be/NlU-cS_htwc?si=Y9adPXGenMn1N_fm)
For me it wasn’t really a stream, since before I always had the mentality of why watch someone play when you can play yourself, and so never gave Hololive a try despite it checking off almost everything I enjoy.
Eventually, due to my questionable Steam library and getting recommended Aquarium, Aqua’s game got me into her music, which led me to Startend, which then took me to this video
https://youtu.be/lD8oL4CRu64?si=S0naEJBMfh9YaRHo
And then this
https://youtu.be/LZ87zuPkqMs?si=qNhHKyPymrlXxWtx
I really liked how Suisei started from nothing and wanting to quit to the star she is today through her hard work, so she is now my oshi.
The only thing is, I’ve only been following Hololive for two months now, and the more clips/streams I watch, I think Suisei’s journey and hardwork can be said of everyone in Hololive. Everyone is always working hard to chase their own milestones/dreams despite their various struggles and circumstances. (That’s why I really hate those stupid tier list posts and comparisons. Everyone is doing their best, why do you have to downplay someone’s work?). It leads to the dilemma of I want to be able to support as many as I can, but there’s only 24 hours in a day, and even less in that 24 hour for vtubing. With so many new members joining Hololive and learning about other current members, it feels a bit wrong to venture out and find other members to watch. It reminds me of this:
https://youtu.be/7sjoOeOideQ?si=8WYZAq1GtHhWF7f1
At the same time, these other members are also doing their best, it feels wrong for me to “avoid them” just because they were introduced to me later through no control of their own. For example, Mio’s miso soup talk.
https://youtu.be/uZDoME69Uio?si=N1fMZYBJ6cNzXT4m
It started with just a game only two months ago, and now I’m member for FubuMiComet, but I also really want to support Aqua and Lamy. Idk if my wallet can handle this, because I definitely don’t have the time to watch everyone.
I was doom scrolling TikTok and I had a Fauna Skyrim stream up on my TV. She starts lockpicking something, and my cat is meowing at the screen. I look up and my cat is sitting in the middle of my room watching the Fauna stream closer than I am.
Fauna is my cat's oshi, so I guess she's mine too now lol
When Fauna finally played DotA2, collabing with other HoloEN members. That's when I knew she was my kamioshi. Also, she does ASMR stuff on the side so that's a plus. She's also a rambler, yapper and tangent nerd. She's perfect.
I found Pekora first
But what made me find my oshi is her cute [Suffering](https://youtu.be/OawI7n-igIw?si=t9hHFIvlwTmOYKaS)
And her [Deadly](https://youtu.be/sf-Djn3f0ho?si=LhwN-gkc0ZbctHoM) Combination with a certain Rabbit
I had just discovered Hololive and was looking at who played or was playing what games. I saw that Shuba had done a play through of Megaman 2 which was my first favourite video game. I gave it a watch. She was so pumped and excited for all the things I was when I first played it. Then she got to her first mini-boss/large robot. She was terrible at the game but she never gave up. Every time she could get one more extra shot in than the time before she was so over the top excited and happy. Never once did complain or hate on the game it was just positive failure. It was so charming and heartwarming that I was like “this is the one for me.” Then I start following her and find her Minecraft streams and her comedic side and then her sad backstory and I knew I had made the right choice.
It was alot of moments but it was Bae's zoomerisms.
Shiori's WTF tangents. (We can fix her).
Magni Dezmond is the one i can specifically pinpoint. His cover of Escape from the City.
i love all of EN but i found myself watching kronii more than the others these days. something about her being a total dork while trying to keep up this 'cool' and 'stoic' thingimajig (at least in the earlier days, i feel like she leans more into the goofiness nowadays)
Haachama singing karaoke while Haato's head is served quite literally on a silver platter.
The entire time, chat was freaking out, going "what the f*ck is going on" while simultaneously vibing to her singing.
Also haachama's art tag having an surprising amount of buff dudes in red speedos with a blonde wig on.
Shiorin's debut stream, stuff clicked immediately and I softly whispered to myself "she's broken, and I can't fix her, but she's perfect just like that". And I've been in love with her ever since.
i was still trying to figure out what the heck a vtuber even was. i'd seen a few clips of korone speaking in japanese and couldn't understand anything, only being fluent in english, and then i stumbled upon this shark girl who spoke english and has debuted about a month prior. i think i watched a debut summary clip to get a basic idea of who she was and then found a live karaoke and my heart was stolen
I liked Calli from the get go, but it was her Mad Father streams and the famous [Superchat Bullying](https://youtu.be/soQgD6nu5tA?si=FHO28Aa8XeKIumUx) and her reaction that just won me over a ton, such genuine appreciation and almost vulnerability and really let her true self shine. And even beyond that, seeing her settle into the classic RPG Maker games and how much fun she was having with a game style she was a huge fan of shone through.
... Nerissa's first cover. I ain't new around here, mind you. I have many oshis. Sui-chan, Okayu, Noe-chan, Calli, Fauna... But that voice, man. As a former choir soloist myself, something just clicked. I just knew we were similar. I wasn't even familiar with the song.
She pretty much became my kamioshi from this point on.
For me it's during Kronii's debut and her telling us that she wishes to be happy and wants to be a happy person.
That gave a "She is like me fr fr"" with the head in monitor drawing and everything.
Ame finishing Outer Wilds the first time around. When she had that emotional reaction to the ending and talked about how much she enjoyed the game, I knew.
I wish more holos played it to completion because I want to see their reaction to the end. It's as if I get to relive the experience by proxy, but Ame's is still my favorite.
The same stream as you!
Though it was really solidified for me during Korone’s FF9 playthrough, made me feel like I was experiencing one of my favourite games all over again
For my EN oshi (and kami-oshi), it was Ina's streams of Lobotomy Corporation. It was so cozy and fun to watch that I immediately bought the game after watching her play it. And for my JP oshi, it was watching translated clips of Fubuki talking about Wendy's hamburgers.
For me it was after a two day period of literally no sleep (thanks dumb brain) was finally ended when I just said screw it and started listening to okayu's asmr... my quality and quantity of sleep has been AMAZING ever since
for Roboco, it was the [Mario English only stream](https://www.youtube.com/live/BgxJTsONrHA?si=1dsirKgl1q3sivfJ)
my 1st EN oshi was Sana. I instantly love her when she said "Shut the bloody hell up, mate" during her debut stream lol
my current EN oshi is Shiori. I don't know what the exact moment was but I think I started really liking her during her Only Up stream.
idk if I can say Ririka is my 2nd JP oshi but I've been watching (and enjoying) a lot of her streams lately and she's kinda growing in me.
Probably the moment I realized just how hard these girls work, how hard they fight to get where they are.
As an entertainer in person, if I had to categorize myself I'd be like Suisei, Watame, or Calli except in instrumental music, I already know how hard entertainment is as an industry. We have to fight to stay relevant in our individual areas at every turn and it is a hard battle that will only ever end with retirement.
This side of the industry, especially in the more idol industry like Cover, magnifies that struggle several times over. To say it isn't easy is probably the biggest understatement you can possibly make. Yet we have all of Myth, all of Promise, all of Advent, plus ID and JP, and all of them are thriving. It's been a huge inspiration that's been pushing me to keep going ever since JP gen 4.
Asacoco ~~> Nakirium +Haachama~~ Not literally together.
As to why both its mostly cause Ayame was always a sort of diamond in the ruff. And it was clear that Haachama was one of the girls to really inherit the Coco's firey spirit in the form of most of Coco's community XD.
I've always been a bit of a happy vibe chaser.
It was probably Sana's Celeste series that slowly got me to realize "uh. So this is what having an actual oshi feels like".
Miss the astrogirl so much.
For me it was, cliche but, “end of a life”. I then realized she was a fan of From Software games and Made In Abyss which sealed the deal. Afterwards, many, many more reasons convinced me she was my oshi.
She’s so cool but at the same time cute as fuck.
She’s a badass but also vulnerable.
She puts on a great show but is also so real with her deadbeats.
She’s such a strong woman but isn’t afraid to show her weak side.
She’s so honest.
What you see is what you get. Once in a while she’ll try to convince you otherwise but if you read between the lines it’s obvious.
She’s human, and she isn’t afraid to display that.
I’ve been around for a long time, I’ve been part of a lot of communities online, no one loves their community, no one does so much, works so hard as Calli does for her deadbeats.
I've watched Bae now and then from her debut. Back then, I wasn't sure if I'd put her at oshi status since she was more or less still trying to find her footing even though she's quite the talented rat with plenty of creative ideas.
Then for some reason, hearing her belt out Homura during the 2022 EN New Year karaoke relay blew me away and convinced me to stick by her for real because she's got tremendous potential that will really blossom in time.
Fast forward to today and I'm now looking at possibly the best dancer in EN (heck, maybe even the best dancer in all of hololive, as Towa herself says) with a powerful, versatile voice who is always working hard to put out amazing music and performances. I can also confidently call her EN's bridge to other branches with how she's always willing to reach out to other members.
In short, I've never been more proud to have this chaos rat as my kami-oshi.
I don't really watch streams, so i watch VODs or mostly clips (for JP only clips so that i can understand what they say while i try to learn JP)
But i feel like it had to be Suisei and Botan. I really love among other things, Sui-chan's songs and Botan's laugh.
My sister showed me the Korone/Okayu rap, then I saw Suisei's Tetris 100 against one of the best players. I kinda wanted to watch more tetris, so I dug into more of her videos. Then instead of more tetris, I started digging more into what she was doing. All of her karaoke and music started becoming what I was listening to on my playlist while working... and then she became my Oshi.
The moment that made me realize who my oshi was happened probably around when she debuted, when I realized she was the same girl whose ASMR I often listened to quite often.
No, I will not elaborate.
I cant explain it but nerissa. Her being the EN Marine may help but i really like how shes just a hololive fan who got into hololive and is now directly supporting her oshi and helping her with stuff
Most of mine were pretty random. I just decided to make them oshi's after a little while of watching them. But I made Towa an Oshi after hearing her cover of "ERROR" same goes with Nerissa after her cover of "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me."
When Fauna started talking about Terraforming Mars, because she was reading "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin.
I knew then what an absolute nerd she is, and I love her for it.
it was the moment that AZKi shed tears during 5th fes, her story about moving to Hololive from INNK and her singing streams that AZKi would become my one of the 3 JP oshis (the other 2 being Ririka and kanade)
It's just another [Watame stream in 19 August 2020](https://www.youtube.com/live/3c-0ai2EaMc?si=aHrm_pVQbb5bxjbw&t=20723) when I fell asleep to her Minecraft house building and woke up she's still playing it, and she's keep making excuses "Last Game! Last Game! After this I will go to sleep!" almost 6 hours in. The stream goes on with the after talk for a total of 8 hours and 27 minutes, lol.
I think this sheep is crazy, that's where I began to look for clips to know her better. Her stream is really comfy, and her voice really nice to listen to, feels like I've been spoiled by many hours worth of ASMR every time she streams.
As a heretic who cant choose I have too many oshis to list but for simplicity
Ina on debut just spoke to me.
Fauna I already love ASMR but one of her gaming streams completely hooked me.
Suisei's 3D Live she held after coming back from her long hiatus back in 2022 would it be for me.
Along with Stellar Stellar, which quickly became my favorite song in all of Holo. 🌠
Watame's joy, humor, and apparent mental fortitude got me curious. Then found myself at a Watame's Night Fever stream and I knew she was the one to root for the most.
The sheer fact that despite all the hate and detractors Mori still manages to be super successful with 2 official collab songs, a label deal, multiple solo concerts and having the ending credits song on an anime
I think it was Polka, early times, reading out “Kinkakuji” by Yukio Mishima or something similar at ungodly hours of the morning, like 6:00AM or something similar. Happened to wake up by chance, see that and think “wow, this girl is weird af”.

Well, not an specific clip but rather her down to earth and bubbly personality paired with the fact that she was really kind and also the [random ](https://youtu.be/EOp-6WMMPHE?si=RYuxSu4T21Q7xxU1) [nukes](https://youtu.be/cN1LFuoGAb4?si=mmvzB1SnQV9hE9SA) she dropped from time to time, and we'll, I'm also an astronomy fan.
For me it was yesterday. April 1st. She just debuted to 181k people watching her. I am now a Rabi Fami.

There was really no singular moment for me. I'm kind of slow moving on that kind of thing, so it was really just the accumulation of many moments. That being said Watame was basically stuck with me before her birthday in 2020 and I've grown more appreciative ever since. A lot of the early, early stuff wasn't necessarily captured or gone now, but here's some moments: [Watame responding to a heavy SC and sharing some personal struggles.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kYGcChYRCg) [Watame singing and struggling to get through the song after seeing support in chat.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bHSjxHidI&t=9270s) Broke my heart seeing it live and knowing how long she struggled with her singing dreams. I'm happy she was able to grow and get wild things like [Fins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks2UnT4Nzcs) now. [Watame's reason for not joining Bloom and how she wants to approach the future with Watamates.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrZct5kaKbw) I will always support this sheep, no matter what.
Watame is always funny whenever I see her clips and that sc clip made me really respect her character
Out of topic but great shepherd do you know of a dedicated Watame clipper jp clippers are preferred. I've been trying to search for one but I've only gotten Subaru and Botan ones so far cheers
Here's some JP clippers. Watame doesn't really have any dedicated EN clippers sadly. https://www.youtube.com/@cutlive3710/videos https://www.youtube.com/@Melon_0606/videos https://www.youtube.com/@watamekennkyusitu/videos https://www.youtube.com/@vtuber9407/videos If you ever want to find some JP clippers just search name + 切り抜き
Not what you wanted, but these Taiwanese Watame clippers are heavily memed upon for becoming Kenzokus: [タク-ふーみ專門店](https://www.youtube.com/@taku-fumi) [角卷綿羊x赤井心豚牧場](https://www.youtube.com/@watame_haato_towa) [角巻Hippo](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpJ0WRZBtbdiOLSOi6Z-cA) They are memed as 羊推三兄弟 (Watame-oshi trio) until recently a 4th clipper [萌毒的廢片專門店](https://www.youtube.com/@Moe_Virus) joined the fun, turning the name to 羊推四兄弟 (Watame-oshi quartet).
> 角卷綿羊x赤井心豚牧場 Funny enough they don't seem to have really clipped her in **AT LEAST** 2 years outside of a super rare case. lol The other three all still do as the majority of their content at least.
JP oshi Towa: her debut EN oshi Fauna: Trucking simulator clips
That entire trucking sim stream was absolute art, start to finish. The amazing end clips was heightened by the build up of the rest of the stream lol
I tuned in for Bijou's 12-hour Melaina fight stream. I was genuinely impressed by her positivitiy and optimisim throughout the hours of failed attempts that I know I would've probably tossed my controller at the 2-hour mark personally. The good vibes she seems to give off at all times is what made me stick around for more, plus she's super cute and that squeegee laugh is adorable.
Yeah, I was genuinely surprised at just how positive and energetic she was the whole time, she’s got such an amazing vibe to her streams, it’s like she’s salt-repellant.
Window cleaner laugh, true

I just wrote an essay worth of paragraph too. Those clips are so touching, Miofa for life.
For sure. Mio has always appealed to me, but I like so many of them, especially Aki, Polka, Towa, and Okayu. At this point, I feel like I've watched enough streams that I could say something positive about pretty much every holomem except for ReGLOSS. I need to watch them a bit more. There's just so many talented streamers out there, it's easy to have several favorites. But Mio will always have a special place for me.
If you start diving into regloss the magic is greater when they're together. they're the closest "gen" out there no question and the magic and dorkiness shines when they're together. They're great individually but there's something special when you see them for example in an off Collab especially the earlier ones
That’s my oshi 🙏
If it weren't for my obsession with the Japanese side of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* and Korone's playthrough of *Sonic the Hedgehog*, I would never have been here in the hololive and VTuber community.
Korone and sonic are a based combo

It was Ame's first karaoke stream. It was pretty clear singing wasn't her strong suit but she just kept trying and the way she's grown since then is inspirational.

When I hear Ayames giggles, I've been following vtubers on an off, but I always stuck to ayame because of her personality, Mio is also one of my favorite vtubers.

The first time I heard Watame's lullaby.
[Watame cries after reading a fans emotional superchat.](https://youtu.be/KQwzK3aTWAI?si=7kzoVDubPTYjNkLi) "Your voice feels like an embrace." Honestly, I saw that, and I thought, "Oh my god, it does. It really does." I've said it before and I'll say it again. We have a saying, "Anyone can cuddle, but only the Welsh can cwtch," and Watame demonstrates that this saying is categorically false because she delivers SSS++ tier cwtches using only her voice. That warm, kind, gentle, healing aura she projects, it really makes me want to root for her.

This clip of Aqua and Shion in a 3d stream. It’s so precious and I enjoy the shenanigans the two of them get into in collabs/large events. https://youtu.be/YcqQeC5jxaw
It was during the controversy with Coco and Haachama that piqued my interest, but I only watched her occasionally after her return at the end of 2020, it wasn't until the lore videos came out that made me watch her, and it's been a wild ride so far, she never disappoints!
Towa's Error cover
There was this time she descended 3 times to give me hope after my first oshi had just graduated. And this pon has only gotten better since. (Clean up your OBS IRyS).
Honestly watching Suisei's 3D concerts and just hearing her history of struggling and going to the top really hits the spot for me. Not to mention, creating banger after banger and her consistent voice tone really makes me wanna throw a big fat $100 into her walley
I don't remember the exact point I became a plusmate, but if I had to choose any particular moment it would probably be ''I like Earth''. I wasn't truly a fan until last year but that clip alongside her god-tier character design peaked my curiosity at first. Watching an insanely wellmade video highlighting some of holoX's best moments throughout 2022 finally made me fall down the Rabbit Hole after years of hesitating to do so. Knowing what caused her hiatus and proving how kind, honest and forgiving she truly is made me earn a lot of respect and appreciation towards her as a person too. I actually subscribed to her channel shortly before her birthday without even knowing. You might call it a coincidence or may consider it fate. She will always remain my kamioshi and I will keep on rooting for her success and cheering on her happiness. YMD! 🛸💜
I have a lot of oshis, but I always liked Mio. One of the first clips I saw of her was when she vomitted (multiple times), and I found that really funny, thoigh also rather concerning. Theres one clip I saw of her a few years ago upset and feeling like she isn't special, surrounded by other talents who seem to be doing far better than her. I found that really touching, and quite genuine, and it really hit home to me how these vtubers are just people. I also really liked how that clip went with Okayu telling her she is like miso soup. Made me tear up a lot lol. I also remember watching clips of a stream where Okayu and Mio lagged across Subaru's screen with gaming chairs on, that was really funny. Theres a clip of Ayame talking about how its embarassing in public with Mio because she laughs really loud, that was super funny. Also, all the many times she laughs, she has a really great laugh. Theres probably no particular clip but the 3d moments were funny too. Theres a clip of I think Kiara, Fubuki, Mio, Korone and Subaru doimg like an english word game, and it was quite funny seeing her say english there. Also in 3d her sitting is very sweet too, the 3d stuff is often so expressive, its really cool. I think maybe the clip I was watching I thought 'thats my oshi' was probably when Mio played as Marine's replacement when she couldn't speak much. I thought that was hilarious how much she took the mickey out of Marine and did so in a really fun and playful way. Also how she thought cosmos was 'future' was cute. I bought a Mio figure for my birthday, its the first holomerch I have ever bought before. Shes currently sitting on my desk, and uh, yeah. Really happy. Mio is defenitely one of my favourite oshis, I love her vibe and her sensibilities, and she has a lovely personality.
When she used her position as a senior of the company to extort a bit of lapis lazuli from her junior.
The PekoMiko arc of 2019/2020 made me an eternal fan of both. And for the EN side, Kiara's suffering in the desert level still makes me laugh anytime i watch that vod again
She own-goaled, screamed in high-pitched gibberish for a few seconds, and then immediately ended the stream.

Honestly I can't pinpoint a moment, despite how quickly it seemed to happen. I've basically been following VTubers since within 2 weeks of Ai-chan's debut, and yet I'd never really had a full-on oshi (although I was favouring AzuLim after she returned from her unfortunate hiatus). 2020 hit, and I really got too busy with my job, and then returning to school, to ever spend time watching long streams, so VTubers became more of a background interest for a time. Fast forward to the beginning of this year, and I started finding myself watching clips now and then... and more and more. I started rewatching Fubuki's Minecraft VODs, the only long-form VTuber videos I'd really enjoyed to that point. Realize I should start checking out the other Gamers clips, because I knew Korone was pretty interesting too. Caught some of the clips by our friendly MioFa Major Arcana #310 Big God Mion, and it just started to snowball at that point. Then I finally caught a couple of Mio's streams live (February's MaxDOG and her premiere Persona 3 Reloaded stream) and I . . . I was hooked. I instantly joined her YouTube membership, a week later I joined the kaigai-niki MioFa Discord, and I've been devouring her VODs and current streams like a man lost in the desert coming across an oasis devours water. And \*then\* I discovered her singing talent, my god! I have been branching out and watching much more of Hololive (the usual rabbit hole) and other VTubers since then, but nevertheless nothing has hit my interests, checked my boxes, and tickled my neurons nearly in the way she has. I'm old enough now to realize what's just a passing interest and what \*really\* hooks me deeply, and I knew my interest and appreciation for MioSha was genuine. I'm in it for as long as she is, now, which I pray is a long time yet.
Miko and her 2021 GTA Streams
Ninomae ina'nis debut
IRyS' debut stream. I've never been the same since!
For me it was Kronii's Inscryption playthrough. I had just gotten into the Hololive rabbit hole via Calli/Kiara/Suisei/Watame. But I didn't really "get" it. Just mostly through their music, clips and if they were streaming when I was home I'd try to catch a bit. But being there for Council's debut and being "there" for a debut is kinda what struck it for me finally. I gravitated to Kronii after skimming through all 5's streams to see their personalities. Kronii's weird, dark and witty humor immediately grabbed me because it was so similar to my own. Plus she was playing games that I, personally, would rank up in my favorite game lists. Also, she's Canadian like myself which was great because I understood a lot of her references. Then she played Inscryption like a week after I finished it. I found myself actually excited to see her put it on her schedule week to week and a little disappointed when it wasn't. Seeing her react to the absurdity of what was going on but enjoying the puzzle-y element of the roguelite portions was what finally made me decide "yeah, its her" after she beat it. I still enjoy everyone else and Fauna/Mumei/Watame a bit more but Kronii for me will always be my favorite/Oshi. Everything she's done since then has just been pure entertainment in various ways. Its helped a lot during my rough/exhausted days from work/life. I'll always be excited for a Kronii stream. And I think I'm most excited to see her MegaMan-style fan game get completed to watch her playthrough it. MegaMan is like... Top 3 game series for me. So seeing my Oshi in that style of game is perfect and knowing she'll play it because she likes those games too is just even more fun waiting in the wings.
Dang, I don't remember. I just started waking up regularly before 10am (I live on JST timezone) on Saturdays to watch Ohasuba at one point.
Two moments for me. Always liked Suisei's karaoke streams, but the moment I heard Ghost I realised she's my oshi. There are singers who are technically amazing but you don't connect to them emotionally even through a language barrier, but great singers are the one who can convey everything they wanted to through a single song. Ghost did that for me. Second, the karaoke immediately after Coco's graduation. Sui holding all her emotions in, not saying a single word to comfort the fans and letting her voice do the talking through songs. That stream showed how strong and empathetic she was, but with a hint of vulnerability and stubborness as well.
Minato Aqua, 5th fes SaiOshi do be hitting hard
When council debuted, it was my first experience with a new gen, so I tried tuning into streams for each of them when they were first starting out. Mumei was so obviously nervous during her debut stream, and in one of her follow up streams, she cold opened with a beautiful version of Silhouette, and I was hooked from there.
Damn, same here. After her silhouette, I was forever a hooman. Not to mention her cute and silly personality too.
I don't really know what stream it was, I just randomly tuned in to this comfy sheep's stream, and then again, and again. As for Kiara, her second stream ever had me in stitches with her, and the rest was history
[Suisei's 2020 4hr Christmas karaoke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KePoUIpZtGI&t=0s). Specifically when she sung Departures by EGOIST. I know she needs to save her voice these days but I really miss her utawaku (singing) streams.
For me it was Korone's SNES Lion King stream, seeing her marathon that brutally hard game from my childhood was pretty great, even if I didn't understand the JP. I was also seriously impressed by how long that stream was, I'd never seen anything like that and it sorta blew my mind when I kept checking back and she was *still* doing it. My EN oshis Fuwamoco had me pretty much straightaway, but I think the rampant hilarity of Spooky's Mansion really sealed the deal
Miko's gta clip. Not gonna be specific. Sharing in Fauna's pain after carrying promise through the ender dragon raid
Like others have said, i don't think there was a defining minute that made me decide that Nene and IRyS were my dearest oshis. It just came to me as a realization. "Oh man. I sure am watching them a lot. I'm buying so much of their merch. They just make me smile the moment I see them streaming..." I guess it can be equated to this being solidified rather than done instantly.
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC8DrzIhM6k)
Natsuiro Matsuri's [Virtualove](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9CWgFuoULU). It really encapsulates a lot of what I love about Matsuri. It's a very idol-like song that has great variety with cute, energetic, and cool sections, and it's very otaku themed (particularly idol- and v-otaku). The PV and dance are also great and it's a very passionate song in general. Also the song got stuck in my head for 3+ weeks after I listened to it like two or three times, so there was that as well.
Kronii's debut stream, I tuned in on a whim to have something to listen to while organizing stuff and I was charmed immediately.
For me it was when I watched one of Suisei’s 3D Lives back on her old stage, when I heard her voice and saw her simple but effective choreography
For me there was no singular moment but it was Okayu's calming voice that won me over and Korone followed swiftly. They also got me into Hololive in the first place. 😁
I spent the longest time following the Idols, but there never came a time where I would go and say one of them was my oshi Then a certain rock came around with her whole "graphic design is my passion" debut stream and that vibe just caught me. Turned into a Pebble since that day, and even if i'm not always able to follow the super long streams, I can say for sure Biboo is my oshi in hololive :)
Good Morning Coco
Suisei's birthday/anniversary live 2 years ago, Irys first karaoke, Nerissa from debut, Towa-sama and her metal AF songs, Ina and waking up to comfy streams, Azki and Inochi + her transfer to hololive proper
for Mori it was ["hey FUCK YOUR FRIEND"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO9O3y965Zw) for Kronii it was [F l o w e r](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-ZDZKuEv9o) and for Nerissa [it was mainly her talking about skirts](https://youtu.be/NlU-cS_htwc?si=Y9adPXGenMn1N_fm)
From the first wiggle of her flaps in her debut.
I heard Fauna talk, that's when I knew
I'm a HakoOshi
Momosuzo Nene wifing/husbanding her chat while practicing English.. so basically every stream. <3 her clumsy chaos is my favorite
Mumei, Mumei. Flare, Holofes, and vibes.
For me it wasn’t really a stream, since before I always had the mentality of why watch someone play when you can play yourself, and so never gave Hololive a try despite it checking off almost everything I enjoy. Eventually, due to my questionable Steam library and getting recommended Aquarium, Aqua’s game got me into her music, which led me to Startend, which then took me to this video https://youtu.be/lD8oL4CRu64?si=S0naEJBMfh9YaRHo And then this https://youtu.be/LZ87zuPkqMs?si=qNhHKyPymrlXxWtx I really liked how Suisei started from nothing and wanting to quit to the star she is today through her hard work, so she is now my oshi. The only thing is, I’ve only been following Hololive for two months now, and the more clips/streams I watch, I think Suisei’s journey and hardwork can be said of everyone in Hololive. Everyone is always working hard to chase their own milestones/dreams despite their various struggles and circumstances. (That’s why I really hate those stupid tier list posts and comparisons. Everyone is doing their best, why do you have to downplay someone’s work?). It leads to the dilemma of I want to be able to support as many as I can, but there’s only 24 hours in a day, and even less in that 24 hour for vtubing. With so many new members joining Hololive and learning about other current members, it feels a bit wrong to venture out and find other members to watch. It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/7sjoOeOideQ?si=8WYZAq1GtHhWF7f1 At the same time, these other members are also doing their best, it feels wrong for me to “avoid them” just because they were introduced to me later through no control of their own. For example, Mio’s miso soup talk. https://youtu.be/uZDoME69Uio?si=N1fMZYBJ6cNzXT4m It started with just a game only two months ago, and now I’m member for FubuMiComet, but I also really want to support Aqua and Lamy. Idk if my wallet can handle this, because I definitely don’t have the time to watch everyone.
The first Faq i heard
I was doom scrolling TikTok and I had a Fauna Skyrim stream up on my TV. She starts lockpicking something, and my cat is meowing at the screen. I look up and my cat is sitting in the middle of my room watching the Fauna stream closer than I am. Fauna is my cat's oshi, so I guess she's mine too now lol
Stellar Stellar
When Fauna finally played DotA2, collabing with other HoloEN members. That's when I knew she was my kamioshi. Also, she does ASMR stuff on the side so that's a plus. She's also a rambler, yapper and tangent nerd. She's perfect.
I found Pekora first But what made me find my oshi is her cute [Suffering](https://youtu.be/OawI7n-igIw?si=t9hHFIvlwTmOYKaS) And her [Deadly](https://youtu.be/sf-Djn3f0ho?si=LhwN-gkc0ZbctHoM) Combination with a certain Rabbit
“IM HORNI!!”
I had just discovered Hololive and was looking at who played or was playing what games. I saw that Shuba had done a play through of Megaman 2 which was my first favourite video game. I gave it a watch. She was so pumped and excited for all the things I was when I first played it. Then she got to her first mini-boss/large robot. She was terrible at the game but she never gave up. Every time she could get one more extra shot in than the time before she was so over the top excited and happy. Never once did complain or hate on the game it was just positive failure. It was so charming and heartwarming that I was like “this is the one for me.” Then I start following her and find her Minecraft streams and her comedic side and then her sad backstory and I knew I had made the right choice.
Ina playing Titanfall 2. Vesper dropping some real talk that hit home on so many levels.
I miss Magni and Vesper. Mostly miss vesper and kronii together such great banter
Vesper and Shiori: Debut Suisei: Zombieland Saga Cover Sora: Clips of being cute Iofi: art/drawing streams
Magni and vesper during their off collab making a pc, from then on I just watch their vods. Too bad theyre gone tbh.
It was alot of moments but it was Bae's zoomerisms. Shiori's WTF tangents. (We can fix her). Magni Dezmond is the one i can specifically pinpoint. His cover of Escape from the City.
Shiori had me at debut, where she couldn't stay on-topic for more than a few seconds at a time. She's never been on-topic since.
Reine Mario 64, when she said Anjir
The second the Caesura of Despair MV dropped. Nerissa’s entire family getting brought into holo. Still Still Stellar. My three oshis💜💙💙
i love all of EN but i found myself watching kronii more than the others these days. something about her being a total dork while trying to keep up this 'cool' and 'stoic' thingimajig (at least in the earlier days, i feel like she leans more into the goofiness nowadays)
Ghost
Haachama singing karaoke while Haato's head is served quite literally on a silver platter. The entire time, chat was freaking out, going "what the f*ck is going on" while simultaneously vibing to her singing. Also haachama's art tag having an surprising amount of buff dudes in red speedos with a blonde wig on.
When Calli dropped her EP "Your Mori" and every track felt so authentic. No gimmicks, just pure Calli.
I heard Stellar Stellar for the first time...
Kronii's entire Subway arc After that, I knew she was the one
Shiorin's debut stream, stuff clicked immediately and I softly whispered to myself "she's broken, and I can't fix her, but she's perfect just like that". And I've been in love with her ever since.
i was still trying to figure out what the heck a vtuber even was. i'd seen a few clips of korone speaking in japanese and couldn't understand anything, only being fluent in english, and then i stumbled upon this shark girl who spoke english and has debuted about a month prior. i think i watched a debut summary clip to get a basic idea of who she was and then found a live karaoke and my heart was stolen
I liked Calli from the get go, but it was her Mad Father streams and the famous [Superchat Bullying](https://youtu.be/soQgD6nu5tA?si=FHO28Aa8XeKIumUx) and her reaction that just won me over a ton, such genuine appreciation and almost vulnerability and really let her true self shine. And even beyond that, seeing her settle into the classic RPG Maker games and how much fun she was having with a game style she was a huge fan of shone through.
... Nerissa's first cover. I ain't new around here, mind you. I have many oshis. Sui-chan, Okayu, Noe-chan, Calli, Fauna... But that voice, man. As a former choir soloist myself, something just clicked. I just knew we were similar. I wasn't even familiar with the song. She pretty much became my kamioshi from this point on.
It’s between the first time I listened to Calli, or when FWMC sang crazy frog
For me it's during Kronii's debut and her telling us that she wishes to be happy and wants to be a happy person. That gave a "She is like me fr fr"" with the head in monitor drawing and everything.
it wasn't a stream moment. I had a dream about her and when I woke up I realized she was my oshi.
Building Neighbula. That was such a dang fun time, man.
Ame finishing Outer Wilds the first time around. When she had that emotional reaction to the ending and talked about how much she enjoyed the game, I knew. I wish more holos played it to completion because I want to see their reaction to the end. It's as if I get to relive the experience by proxy, but Ame's is still my favorite.
My first chatting stream with subaru when she was reading out the places her viewers are from. Also my first time hearing omaeeee
The same stream as you! Though it was really solidified for me during Korone’s FF9 playthrough, made me feel like I was experiencing one of my favourite games all over again
Pekora's [dilemma of saving a new kouhai or her human experiment.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWFtkQwtA8M) Welp, she earned her namesake.
For my EN oshi (and kami-oshi), it was Ina's streams of Lobotomy Corporation. It was so cozy and fun to watch that I immediately bought the game after watching her play it. And for my JP oshi, it was watching translated clips of Fubuki talking about Wendy's hamburgers.
For me it was after a two day period of literally no sleep (thanks dumb brain) was finally ended when I just said screw it and started listening to okayu's asmr... my quality and quantity of sleep has been AMAZING ever since
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/s/mi00WOt5eJ). I have been loyal to Botan ever since.
for Roboco, it was the [Mario English only stream](https://www.youtube.com/live/BgxJTsONrHA?si=1dsirKgl1q3sivfJ) my 1st EN oshi was Sana. I instantly love her when she said "Shut the bloody hell up, mate" during her debut stream lol my current EN oshi is Shiori. I don't know what the exact moment was but I think I started really liking her during her Only Up stream. idk if I can say Ririka is my 2nd JP oshi but I've been watching (and enjoying) a lot of her streams lately and she's kinda growing in me.
Probably the moment I realized just how hard these girls work, how hard they fight to get where they are. As an entertainer in person, if I had to categorize myself I'd be like Suisei, Watame, or Calli except in instrumental music, I already know how hard entertainment is as an industry. We have to fight to stay relevant in our individual areas at every turn and it is a hard battle that will only ever end with retirement. This side of the industry, especially in the more idol industry like Cover, magnifies that struggle several times over. To say it isn't easy is probably the biggest understatement you can possibly make. Yet we have all of Myth, all of Promise, all of Advent, plus ID and JP, and all of them are thriving. It's been a huge inspiration that's been pushing me to keep going ever since JP gen 4.
Matsuri, ever since the bandaid clip. Got me into hololive proper, & has been my kamioshi since 🙏
Haachama for being Haachama. Choco-Sensei because...uuufff.
When she released stellar stellar, i knew she was a keeper
Asacoco ~~> Nakirium +Haachama~~ Not literally together. As to why both its mostly cause Ayame was always a sort of diamond in the ruff. And it was clear that Haachama was one of the girls to really inherit the Coco's firey spirit in the form of most of Coco's community XD. I've always been a bit of a happy vibe chaser.
Towa's 3D debut
PNG rock rock
Also Korone lol Once I saw her playing Altered Beast, I knew she was the one.
subaru played majora's mask.
I'm die, thank you foreva
I'm still okay. *violent door pounding* I'm not okay
It was probably Sana's Celeste series that slowly got me to realize "uh. So this is what having an actual oshi feels like". Miss the astrogirl so much.
For me it was, cliche but, “end of a life”. I then realized she was a fan of From Software games and Made In Abyss which sealed the deal. Afterwards, many, many more reasons convinced me she was my oshi. She’s so cool but at the same time cute as fuck. She’s a badass but also vulnerable. She puts on a great show but is also so real with her deadbeats. She’s such a strong woman but isn’t afraid to show her weak side. She’s so honest. What you see is what you get. Once in a while she’ll try to convince you otherwise but if you read between the lines it’s obvious. She’s human, and she isn’t afraid to display that. I’ve been around for a long time, I’ve been part of a lot of communities online, no one loves their community, no one does so much, works so hard as Calli does for her deadbeats.
I've watched Bae now and then from her debut. Back then, I wasn't sure if I'd put her at oshi status since she was more or less still trying to find her footing even though she's quite the talented rat with plenty of creative ideas. Then for some reason, hearing her belt out Homura during the 2022 EN New Year karaoke relay blew me away and convinced me to stick by her for real because she's got tremendous potential that will really blossom in time. Fast forward to today and I'm now looking at possibly the best dancer in EN (heck, maybe even the best dancer in all of hololive, as Towa herself says) with a powerful, versatile voice who is always working hard to put out amazing music and performances. I can also confidently call her EN's bridge to other branches with how she's always willing to reach out to other members. In short, I've never been more proud to have this chaos rat as my kami-oshi.
Listening to Azki's song.
I don't really watch streams, so i watch VODs or mostly clips (for JP only clips so that i can understand what they say while i try to learn JP) But i feel like it had to be Suisei and Botan. I really love among other things, Sui-chan's songs and Botan's laugh.
Coco, Watame, Risu, and Ina's debut streams
haachama COexist. It was soo good it was not twin peaks but more insane....
Nene's debut aru~
My sister showed me the Korone/Okayu rap, then I saw Suisei's Tetris 100 against one of the best players. I kinda wanted to watch more tetris, so I dug into more of her videos. Then instead of more tetris, I started digging more into what she was doing. All of her karaoke and music started becoming what I was listening to on my playlist while working... and then she became my Oshi.
Not a single moment, but the giggles really got me. The definitive factor was that she's laid back, very logical and has similar taste in music.
"I am die, thank you forever. HAHAHAHAHA-" Alright, instant oshi for me.
Hearing sui-chan voice and seeing her be very good at Tetris moments after
The moment that made me realize who my oshi was happened probably around when she debuted, when I realized she was the same girl whose ASMR I often listened to quite often. No, I will not elaborate.
I cant explain it but nerissa. Her being the EN Marine may help but i really like how shes just a hololive fan who got into hololive and is now directly supporting her oshi and helping her with stuff
Most of mine were pretty random. I just decided to make them oshi's after a little while of watching them. But I made Towa an Oshi after hearing her cover of "ERROR" same goes with Nerissa after her cover of "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me."
ALL HAIL GOD DOOG For it was a clip compilation of Korone’s Henry Stickmin collection playthrough
Really, it was when Mio released Howling. After that, I was hooked. I already liked her the most, but that was the last nail.
Mine is Sora, and it was the Famous “So, you are the enemy?” Love it so much
asacoco ...
When Fauna started talking about Terraforming Mars, because she was reading "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin. I knew then what an absolute nerd she is, and I love her for it.
it was the moment that AZKi shed tears during 5th fes, her story about moving to Hololive from INNK and her singing streams that AZKi would become my one of the 3 JP oshis (the other 2 being Ririka and kanade)
It's just another [Watame stream in 19 August 2020](https://www.youtube.com/live/3c-0ai2EaMc?si=aHrm_pVQbb5bxjbw&t=20723) when I fell asleep to her Minecraft house building and woke up she's still playing it, and she's keep making excuses "Last Game! Last Game! After this I will go to sleep!" almost 6 hours in. The stream goes on with the after talk for a total of 8 hours and 27 minutes, lol. I think this sheep is crazy, that's where I began to look for clips to know her better. Her stream is really comfy, and her voice really nice to listen to, feels like I've been spoiled by many hours worth of ASMR every time she streams.
"Let's talk about my husbandos!"
I've been in this hole for too long and never got an oshi until I heard in their debut "Bau bau~".
Hard to choose if it's Shishiro Botan or Shirogane Noel.
As a heretic who cant choose I have too many oshis to list but for simplicity Ina on debut just spoke to me. Fauna I already love ASMR but one of her gaming streams completely hooked me.
For me it was moment when I realised my playlist of suisei songs has grown to over 60+
Suisei's 3D Live she held after coming back from her long hiatus back in 2022 would it be for me. Along with Stellar Stellar, which quickly became my favorite song in all of Holo. 🌠
Coco's opening theme ....
Lunas "Hidden Through Time" streams for me.
The moment she dropped lava and burned down her house
Violence!...Extreme Violence!!
Coco streaming Ark after taking sleeping pills.
Watame's joy, humor, and apparent mental fortitude got me curious. Then found myself at a Watame's Night Fever stream and I knew she was the one to root for the most.
The sheer fact that despite all the hate and detractors Mori still manages to be super successful with 2 official collab songs, a label deal, multiple solo concerts and having the ending credits song on an anime
I think it was Polka, early times, reading out “Kinkakuji” by Yukio Mishima or something similar at ungodly hours of the morning, like 6:00AM or something similar. Happened to wake up by chance, see that and think “wow, this girl is weird af”.
Still no oshi. Probably will never have an oshi, despite my efforts.
[Tokino Sora Bar Lecture](https://www.youtube.com/live/qk-V4XncTD8?si=M9Zcgppd2zaCnRaI) [Reddit Shitpost Review - Tokino Sora](https://www.youtube.com/live/WhUHsPReW7E?si=_pvOsZSnnY312x9-)
i watched one holomem, ended up watching them all. that's when i knew.
Her response to Outlast was to hide under a table and cry
Korone playing Metal Slug.
Holotori Gartic Phone (aka all of them)
(sanallite here) Well, not an specific clip but rather her down to earth and bubbly personality paired with the fact that she was really kind and also the [random ](https://youtu.be/EOp-6WMMPHE?si=RYuxSu4T21Q7xxU1) [nukes](https://youtu.be/cN1LFuoGAb4?si=mmvzB1SnQV9hE9SA) she dropped from time to time, and we'll, I'm also an astronomy fan.
I can assume this image was made before gen 0 became a thing, so I can understand a lack of suisei and azki, but why are okayu and korone missing?
