hololive

Subaru. I really love her voice and she's just precious. I like the fact that she sounds kinda like Goku 💀

On the EN side it was Sana… she sounded like someone I knew when I was younger and it was super comforting just listening to her talk.

After her graduation I hooked into Fauna. I’m not into ASMR, but her gaming streams are so good (she’s kind of like a Hololive Northern Lion if that makes sense). She’s so quick witted and so engaging.

On JP side it’s probably Haachama. I live in her back catalog though, watching old vods. The more I think about it, the harder it gets for me to pick. I have an unusual fondness for Roboco, Towa, Subaru, Nenechi, Botan… I’ll always make time to watch Luna play the electone… I don’t know. I like them all a lot.

The ID girls are great too, I love Kaela, but she’s so much of a time sink. Kobo’s collabs are hysterical.

For the boys it’s Izuru, Astel and Vesper. I loved Fuma debut era, his original rap verses were amazing and the Shanti cover was great, but I feel like his hasn’t leaned into it even though it’s clearly a standout skill.

My first Oshi was Sana, but now I support Ollie the most

Sana is eternal 🍞✨

Fauna. She's funny, she's a memer like there is no other. She also has that onee-san aura around her... I watch her every night to sleep, her voice is really soothing.

Rushia. 😢

I feel like I have one for each branch.

Mumei for EN because she's just so funny and an incredible singer.
Zeta for ID because she's just wild.
Koyori for JP because she has an endless amount of determination

It's Ina for me. I watched all of EN's debut and her dopey chill streams always put me in a better mood. I watch most of EN though.

Bae and Fauna, probably because their streams times are the most convenient for me tbh. Not that I don't have reasons to love them but I'm pretty sure I could find something to love about any holomem I could consistently watch, and that just happens to be these two.

I'm a MASSIVE fan of IRyS! The way she's like a princess that was locked up in a tower with the only view of the outside world through anime and Manga has made the utmost unpredictable girl I've ever seen. She's a joy to watch while I work and her streams are long enough I could finish around the same time she does! (Either that or she just keeps going, the mad lass)

I also love how brave and persistent she is in horror games. And that she pays attention to the logs and other stuff that really completes the atmosphere. So her streams never feel like a cheap gimmick for easy screams. If anything, her YabaiRys "gimmick" is primarily what keeps you on your toes because you have no idea what comes out of that girl's mouth next!

To top all of this is the healthy relationship with Bae. To me, it makes me less worried about others being too parasocial about her like the other talents, because she's got her wife that we all root for.

Also, Till the End of Me is an absolutely amazing song!

IRyS! She’s such a cute dork and I love her spoiled sweet ojou-sama vibes.

I mean, Gura and Kronii forever. Something about both of them, the humour and timing of jokes just hits me perfectly. But ever since Gura got busy with holsummer and fell off streaming a bit (which is fine! Still love her) I started catching up on Fauna and Ina streams because they're very relaxed and easy to listen to. Agent FaunaSeven has been a wonderful experience as I catch up, especially.

Mumei. I share quite a few of her personality quirks, and of all the fantastic singing voices in Hololive, Mumei more than anyone else has the ability to make me just stop what I'm doing and listen.

On the JP side the one I follow most is Towa for similar reasons (holy shit her voice!), so you could imagine my excitement when Mumei sang Palette for the Connect the World concert.
