Wait, Gigi + Haachama?

Damn, watching Ririka's live now makes me feel guilty not for not watching as many streams these days.
Sora! Noel is as tone deaf as always and Ririka acts just as silly as her. Her model is tall! All legs.
I love gyaru, Ririka is not it but her positivity shines like one. I don't think anyone linked her collab with an actual gyaru.
I also miss Ao. Girl is a strange one
glad she lives with her mom
Nice write up but I think you overlooked the most important thing: is she entertaining? Bijou is entertaining. Her skills, her compatibility with Hololive culture, her interview navigation and whatever else the audition process is gauging only matters if she is entertaining. Additionally, no matter how many people follow Bijou they all can't get in. I can only assume there are plenty of people more talented or experienced then the current Holos, Milky was an actual vtuber while Demon Dice was doing ESL work, but entertainment isn't about checking boxes.

Girl has such a great voice. It's a loss for everyone that she can't use it
Apologies for necroing this topic, but I think everyone missed some key details, and it’s probably the exact thing Hololive staff are looking for.
Mado, if you read this, you’re more talented than you think and can do so much better to stand out. Stop choosing the easy route it’s what cooked you.
The one thing most people miss is what applications need to pass: ingenuity and creativity. I’m skipping the post-grad statement where game dev was her ultimate goal and vtubing was just a means for steady income. That’s another strike against her that staff likely sniffed out. Let’s assume Hololive was her dream job.
Singing, dancing, custom animations, OBS skills, and extra supplemental roles are all dime a dozen in Hololive applications. Check her game dev stuff, and you see DEI brainwashing, which probably filtered her out, plus it’s a super limited demo of her skills: AI could pump out that slop. If she had any ingenuity or creativity in her programming, she’d have gone the route of the Holocure dev, creating fully fleshed-out games using Hololive IP or any culturally recognizable IP (including game genre mechanics.)
Demonstrating accolades with results gets the best responses from hiring staff in any job. A shitty visual novel and 2D puzzles aren’t impressive, to say the least. She doesn’t seem to have the creative juices to rise above just copy-pasting someone’s homework without making it obvious. This was my first impression of seeing her games. Insert buzz lightyear toy clones meme here. Surely, there was a more ambitious, grandiose idea in her mind that she threw away for the safe choice she submitted. Holocure Dev is a prime example of good programming talent utilizing holo's IP.
I’m using the Holocure dev as an example, which ties into my next point: Biboo’s audition. While lots of EN girls hinted at their auditions, Biboo’s the only one who spelled it out for the dumbest of the dumb on how to get in. How did Mado miss this? How do other applicants miss this? Who knows, but Biboo did it and got in with 1/1000th of Mado’s streaming hours, 1-trillionth her singing talent, no programming skills, and slightly better-than-average gaming skills. Biboo modded Mori as a final boss in Undertale a game known for tough boss fights and one-shot it under the pressure of audition staff and in front of her idol, Mori. Assuming Mado’s audition process was similar, Biboo cleared the verbals with less talent in every metric except one: her accolades and impressions under the highest of pressure situations. Demonstration of stated talent with results.
Another example is Reya and her team doing Biboo’s turn-based fight. Reya said the Hololive girls told her to apply to Cover to work for them, either as a VTuber or staff. I bring this up because Mado has it in her to copy something as impressive as what this talented person and her supporters did.
She was so close yet so far. She targeted the right metric but leaned the wrong way on what staff are pressed about: time. She went for a quick 5-minute game that forced staff to play through, instead of showing her talent with a quick hook video (TikTok-brainrot your skills in under 30 seconds) or a PowerPoint with links to video demos for the curious. Yes, a PowerPoint (bake in youtube links in the PP for the investigative staff), not "just" private youtube video with clickable timestamps. Her auditions are good, but not great. None stand out with the talent she has in her bones. If she’d stepped up her creativity and ingenuity just a bit more, she’d have probably passed and gotten in.
Mado definitely has the talent to get into Hololive but swayed critical nuanced decisions the wrong way, and it bit her. She did a lot of good things, but nothing great or impressive to stand out above her competition. If she or anyone else can pass the tough verbal interview questions, the final step staff are almost certainly looking for is uniqueness and creativity through your life's journey up to that point. She set her sights on being just good enough, not the best of the best. She showed determination to get in, but not the grit to be the best. Ambitious personalities who strive to be the best are one of the qualities staff are looking for, among all the other stuff.
Regardless of what you think of the girls which have made it in, they all share the same ambitions and acceling in one of the 4 categories: Gaming, Art, Yapping, Singing. New talents should strive to use their creative abilities to max out 1 of these 4 categories in their application. Demontrate your capabilities, but show off your maxed stat as your prime selling point in your audition. Credit: Cuba for the acronym.
Also as a freebee if anyone applying to holo and wants to pander to one staff member, one of the girls, i won't name who, mentioned that simply seeing the talent eat and enjoy a bowl of ramen in their audition video was enough to get approval.
And finally, I believe if anyone has the talent to get into Holo today, they have the talent to succeed as an indie, the individual's focus should be putting efforts into discoverability above all else.
Again sorry, late to the party and necro'ing a topic.
Ok back to lurking, bye bye.

In Moona's video for 100% they were originally going to have Moona and Nerissa think she was a guy until they saw her go into the woman's washroom. Poor girl
It is a reschedule of this stream, which would have been at the same time as Gura's graduation announcement
pretty sure this one is with Kaela
Bae and Flayon for the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 collab stream:
Gigi also stated in her unarchived membership karaoke stream (before she hurriedly ended the stream for dance practice) that she will not have a schedule out for next week and will be travelling, only committing to do a superchat reading stream and guerilla streams when she is set up, so Justice 3D recording incoming...

Kaela could announce she's moving to Canada and I will still know it's not about Kronii.

Not badly done, surprisingly.
This stream specifically and some of her previous steams leading up to it has a few highlights talking about it.
Between Mado's post and Biboo and others commentary on the process they have shaped a very clear picture of what staff is looking for. I'm thankful for Mado revealing her details of the process, but its clear she can't pass the vibe test as Mori would put it. I skimmed some of her content and looked for the big highlights which also comes back to your point of entertaining, which she seems like an overdosed ritalin version of boring Biboo, or first year mori game streams. Its unfortunate, but I would love to hear her sing more as she would've been a great duet partner with Liz or Moona.
