General Thread v5 Guys: MariMari_EN Edition
- Thread starter Johnny Jambalaya
- Start date
I made a crosspost collection of the informative/translation posts I did in the Holo thread. It should be everything done since thread split happened. Organized by chuuba and date along with pictures and small summaries:
Subaru:
Towa:
Okayu:
May 15: 2 million subs and letter: Okayu reached 2 million subs after doing a karaoke endurance stream. She prepared a letter to express her gratitude and cried plenty of blessed happy tears. I translated the letter as well as shilled her 2nd album and sololive. Speaking of which:
May 28: Okayu's 2nd sololive: Screenshots and some thoughts/gushing on how great Okayu's 2nd sololive was.
Mio + Multi-Talent:
For @Piava and anyone else that was interested. After this, I'll just crosspost here any time I do an informative post in the other thread.
Subaru:
- March 8: Album sales and Shion thoughts: Subaru's first album, Pleiades, released on March 2nd. Within a week, it reached the #1 spot on two of Japan's album charts. This post also had Subaru's feelings on Shion's graduation as it was just announced around then.
- During one of her more recent chatting streams, Subaru said management was incredibly surprised by how well her album sold and it made her very happy.
- March 13: Subaru's thoughts on her songs: After Kusa and Abomination talked about some of the album's songs, I posted Subaru's thoughts on them. Stuff like how one of them was for Shion and how another was for her to reaffirm her goals and motivations.
- April 17: Members-only chatting info: Subaru had a members chatting stream. This was after Gura and Mumei's graduations were announced. She dove into multiple topics but the main thing was that she has no intention of graduating.
- She's very happy where she is, Holo will always be way better than her poverty part-time jobs and she trusts Yagoo enough to believe that Cover will be fine no matter what happens.
- She also talked about a story around debut time where her and Yagoo got into an argument so intense, they ended up screaming at each other and she didn't think she'd forgive him for a while.
- May 1: The Oozora Subaru Lovey-Dovey Championship: A stream hosted by Miko and Marine where Bae, Watame, Su and Noel competed in a quiz show to see who loves Subaru the most. Subaru was actually watching and judging them in secret.
Over the week, Subaru's album reached #1 on Recochoku (JP music service) and Billboard Japan's downloaded album list:

She mentioned in a members stream a while ago that if we see something that could hint at a sololive, she really hopes that we buy it. I'm certain she was referring to this album, so it's a nice sign to see it doing this well. Not too bad for someone that doesn't consider herself an artist.
If I may recommend a song besides Hoshi Akari, she did a banger song for Oozora Police, featuring Bae doing a godlike rap and Marine, Fubuki and Noel yelling for no reason:
But give the whole album a listen! It's full of cheerful, heartfelt bangers and it'll move her one step closer to her sololive.
She also talked about Shion during her watchalong stream and her morning stream:
- Subaru's known about Shion's decision for about 3 months or so.
- Rather than sad, she was more so genuinely concerned about Shion's health and wanted her to get a ton of rest.
- Ultimately, she has to go on her own road so Subaru wants to support her as her friend and her comrade.
- They've been talking a lot behind the scenes, including making plans to going fishing together.
- They were both kinda sad about the 6th Fes split. Shion was on Stage 2 while Subaru and the other Gen 2 girls are on Stage 3.
- But she decided she wanted to cheer her on as much as she could. (And she did so yesterday)
- She hoped for Shion's final Fes to be a wonderful, happy memory and that Shion's fans could enjoy themselves to the fullest.
- While working on her 6th anniversary live, Subaru realized that while she was doing it for us, she was also doing it for Shion.
- Everything Subaru wanted to say to Shion was packed into her last performance: "A future full of blessing for me and you."
- Subaru came up with this mid-stream but on Shion's graduation day, she plans to give her the Exodia cards. Like what Yugi did to Jaden in the first episode of GX.
- She almost has the complete set so she's gonna put them into a bouquet and give it to Shion.
- She's hoping for Shion to smile until the end, so she wants to make her laugh and go "what the hell" with this
The only thing I can say is that I'm so proud of her and how much better she's handling this graduation
I knew a fellow bird fan would understand
The 2nd to last song is "Hoshikakeru Sora e" (Towards the Sky Where Stars Run). It's actually the song she sang for her solo performance in 6th fes!
She said it's a song she made to cheer on those who are working hard at daily life, whether it's school, clubs, work etc. She also realized partway through working on it that it was meant not just for us, but for Shion as well. It ties hand-in-hand with her 6th anniversary live but basically, it's a hopeful song that's meant to tell everyone to head towards a happy future along with her.
The last song is called "Shubatto Danzai! Oozora Keisatsu" (Shuba's Judgment! Oozora Police). The title says it all. It's a super fun and chaotic banger about Subaru being the Oozora Police and trying to arrest people for being degens. Bae is in it as Subaru's international assistant, but the other voices are Marine, Fubuki and Noel. I agree it would make for an amazing MV, but Subaru MVs are rare in general so we can only hope for now.
While I'm here, @Abomination said his favorite on the album was the 1st song. It's called Hoshi Akari. I talked about it a bit when I rambled about her live but it's a remix/arrange of Starlight, the song she released for her 4th anniversary 2 years ago. Starlight is a song dedicated to 2nd gen and their journey together. When she sang it for her 5th anniversary last year, she realized that Starlight was really about her inner, ideal version of 2nd gen. She talked about this after Aqua's graduation, but basically she wanted 2nd Gen to be united and do stuff like original songs, streams and eventually concerts together. Starlight was about that desire to go on together.
So with Hoshi Akari, Subaru and the director knew that it wasn't an "answer" to Starlight, but wanted it to be about Subaru's resolution and drive to push onward. She didn't say this directly, but more specifically imo, it was to push past that sadness of Aqua and 2nd gen leaving her behind. The theme for Hoshi Akari and her 6th anniversary live in general is reaching a conclusion and then starting over again so she can keep going. It was the "Resolution Song" Subaru reached after everything that happened last year. This song, Hoshikakeru Sora e and the other songs she chose were all done to reach the conclusion of "Keep moving forward." It was also her 2025 new years resolution which is why it all hit like an emotional nuke during her live.
Somehow I rambled again but yeah duck love. She put so much heart into her album and her live

Towa:
- May 12: Comeback stream: Towa took a month-long break at the end of March. She needed time off after grinding for weeks for multiple SF6 tournaments as well as keeping up with recordings/dance lessons etc. This post was about her return stream where she talked about what she did over her break. She also announced a brand new monthly project that I thought was really cool:
- June 2: Holo Song Station: Every month, Towa will do a stream where she introduces songs made by Hololive members, all branches included. She'll get comments from fans through a Google form as well as a comment from the members themselves if they're not busy. Then she plays the song on stream. It's a really neat way to show off the lesser-known songs or some facts about the more popular songs.
- This first episode had songs by: Kanade, Zeta, Watame, Anya, Subaru, Hajime and Okayu.
- Personally speaking, I hope people check this one out the most out of everything in this post. The whole point of Towa doing this is to get more eyes on these songs after all and it's a pretty neat idea.
- May 20: Mumei cover: Right after Holo Song Station #1, Towa posted a cover of Mumei to say thanks and goodbye.
Towa officially came back from her month-long break earlier today
After she grinded hard for weeks to compete in two Street Fighter 6 tournaments (both of which she did amazing in), she took all of April off to relax and catch up on work stuff. Though during her break, she did a sponsored stream, competed in an Overwatch tournament and of course showed up to say goodbye to Mumei. She reassured everyone that she has Mumei's contact info so they'll be keeping in touch.
Today was a chill chatting stream though. She mainly talked about how she was in Ririka's live earlier today. They practiced and recorded for it during the SF6 tournament time so Towa was very busy. Didn't help that the dance was difficult and that she got incredibly sick along the way, but she did her best and it came out great. She wants to do something together with Ririka again sometime as she thinks they work well together. She also talked about her POV of the Universal Studios trip she went to with Subaru, Fubuki, Mio and Suisei. Lots of adorable screaming and good times were had.
Towa also made a cool announcement. She'll be starting a new project this month:
View attachment 98047
The Holo Member Original Song Introduction Project
- On the 20th of every month at 7PM, she'll be doing a stream where she introduces and talks about original songs made by Holo talents.
- You'll be able to submit recommendations through a Google form. You can choose a song, write down what you love about it and why.
- The Google form for May is linked here. She apologized for making it on such quick notice.
- Only one entry per month. You can submit the same entry for next month if it doesn't get picked.
- Obviously it doesn't have to be her songs only. You can pick any song from JP, ID, EN and DEV_IS.
- If the talent isn't busy, she also wants to get a comment from them talking about their song if it gets chosen.
- This might end up being a segment where the member shills their own song for a bit but we'll see.
- The songs don't need to have an MV to get chosen.
- It doesn't have to be a popular song either. Songs that you wish people listened to more are perfectly acceptable. Basically as long as you love it and want her to talk about it, it's fine.
- This is limited to songs made by a current Hololive talent herself. This means no songs directly from Cover (Stuff like Shiny Smily Story, Kirameki Rider etc) or songs made for sponsors/groups (Stuff like that one NISSIN ramen song or the UMISEA original song).
- No songs from graduated talents nor from Holostars as well. She wanted to start out with a more limited pool since this is her first time doing something like this. Also there are so many Hololive songs to choose from already that it could get a. bit overwhelming.
- Whether this is something that lasts a while or ends quickly will depend on how well it's received, so she's hoping everyone reacts well to it.
- She came up with this cause she wants to show off what's great about the Holo girls' original songs. She also wants to listen to more songs herself and have them memorized so this is a win-win situation.
- Lately, it kinda feels like the Holo projects are super serious and overly prepared. The vibes feel kinda different from the older days, both on the fan side and the management side. Maybe it's her overthinking things, but it feels more difficult to just casually hit up a member and ask for a collab.
- Hololive has gotten so big that it feels like any mistake made will lead to members getting pricked and prodded at (assuming by anti and random critics etc), so it feels like there's more of a pressure to be perfect with any projects. With this, she wants to go back to the vibes of the older days and do a more casual stream idea.
Calli had a similar idea a while ago IIRC but it didn't last too long. I'm hoping Towa takes it a bit further since this is a neat way to spread original songs around. But I'm just glad she's back in general. I missed my favorite purple menhera.
Tokoyami Towa Presents:
Holo Song Station #1
(May 20th, 2025)
- Not all talents will be able to submit their thoughts as it depends on how busy they are.
Song #1: GREATEST by Otonose Kanade
View attachment 100114
Fan Comments:
- They love how the song talks about Kanade's determination to walk down her own path no matter what happens
- Her dreams and her goals are her own rather than something set for her by someone else.
- Even though she's dealt a lot of anxiety even since debut, she was able to overcome those hardships and feel invincible
- It's a cheerful, upbeat song about overcoming those doubts that truly feels like "Kanade"
- Kanade's unstoppable and invincible determination to keep on going will give you energy and motivation
- (Personally speaking, in both the lyrics and the instrumentals, I could immediately hear the parallels between GREATEST and Ado's I'm Invincible. That alone put a huge smile on my face as soon as I heard it. Kanade may be an eternal kusogaki but man she knows how to brighten up someone's day. Even if she's reminding you that the next day is Monday)
Kanade's Comment:
Because this is my first original song, I wanted to cherish it and be able to sing it for a long time, so I wrote it with my current hopes in mind like "I want to be like this!" and "I want to believe in this!" When I was making requests for the song, I wrote down a few keywords to send to Nanahoshi Orchestra (the lyricist), who was able to turn it into a fiery, passionate song. I was determined to not give up and let my own fire lose to that so it became a song full of passion! This is a song about believing in yourself (which was one of the keywords). I want to believe that every time I chant these words and sing this song, I will grow stronger so I'll continue to cherish and sing it with care!
Song #2: Break It Down by Vestia Zeta
View attachment 100117
Fan Comments:
- They really like the song's theme of being true to yourself.
- There are many rules and trends in today's society but inside of it all, it feels like you don't lose sight of your goals and your identity.
- The way Zeta sung with all of this in mind really touched their hearts.
- The song's melody is amazing and a perfect match with Zeta's voice, which is both powerful and delicate. The energetic beat and refined sound will leave an unforgettable impact on you.
- It's full of Zeta's cool and powerful charms and has a positive message, inspiring those who listen to it
- This is a song meant for both students and working societal members, so please listen to it lots.
Zeta's Comment:
"I probably have more of a cute image than a cool one, so I wanted to show off my cool side with this song! The meaning of "Break it Down" is to love yourself and have confidence without worrying about the opinions of others. The most difficult part was learning the choreography, though I was the one that asked for choreography that would break my back lol. I also animated the chibi illustrations myself which was a lot of work!"
Song #3: My Song by Tsunomaki Watame
View attachment 100119
Fan Comments:
- My Song is their favorite song of all time. They often listen to it often before club matches and after they've made a mistake.
- Watame's singing voice touched their heart, especially with the way the final chorus conveys that there's glory at the end of your challenges, as long as you never give up.
- If you're going through a difficult time, this is definitely the song to listen to.
- Someone listened to My Song for the first time when they were outright exhausted both physically and mentally. It drove them to immense tears and gave them encouragement to keep going through those times.
- While it's Watame's song, it feels like it can be a personal song for everyone that listens to it
- Towa said that a bunch of the comments were along the lines of "This song gave me the courage to keep going."
- (Everyone already knows how beautiful My Song is, but it's also given me PBs at the gym so very easy recommend for exercise as well.)
Watame's Comment:
"My Song was the first song I performed at my 1st Sololive and I put so much emotion into it that I messed up the tune and rhythm! I can't say I sung it very well, but it still left a strong impression on everyone so it has become a fond memory. It had me in tears during its production as I had to speak about the times before Hololive when I considered quitting music forever, how applying to Hololive was basically a final chance for me to do this, as well as my feelings since joining Hololive. As the lyrics say, I want to keep taking on many challenges as I form proof of my own path to glory here in Hololive. I'd be happy if you could keep supporting my songs and thank you so much for choosing My Song!"
Song #4: Chronic by Anya Melfissa
View attachment 100123
Fan Comments:
- The catchy rhythm is a great fit for Anya's whisper-like voice. It seems to really have fun with Anya's playfulness and match the lyrics as well
- The lyrics are incredibly interesting and there are many interpretations, but some seem to think that it expresses the relationship between vtubers and fans.
- They appreciate the fact that being sung by a vtuber is exactly part of what gives the song its meaning
- This was Anya's first song in full English and even though she said she isn't good at it, you don't feel that at all when you listen to the song. Anya was fully able to show off her amazing English talent here.
- A few comments appreciated how they were able to see a side of her that they haven't seen before.
- A hidden gem that hopefully more people can appreciate.
Anya's Comment:
"This song was a challenge for me. None of my original songs up to this point were in English so I was a little worried about if I could sing it well. I don't really sing songs with full English lyrics so I was really concerned about whether it would be well-received by everyone or not. I think that vtuber songs have an image that originated with vocaloid songs and J-pop songs, so making a K-pop song was also quite a challenge. But I was the one who asked for this song to be like this because I like K-pop's cool and stylish songs lol. Asteroid Music Team's songs are all very well-made so for this song, I left all the details regarding the concept and lyrics to them! I am truly grateful for their help. There are also a lot of harmonies in the background which are just amazing, so you may want to pay attention to them while listening. In the end, this turned out to be a really cool and stylish song so I hope everyone listens to it lots! The lyrics are in English but I think the they're rather easy to sing, so feel free to do so at karaoke too!
PS: To other Holo members: if any of you want to sing it, I'll gladly send you an instrumental so please let me know!"
Song #5: Starlight by Oozora Subaru
View attachment 100127
Fan Comments:
- While watching 4th fes, the performance that left the biggest impression was Subaru's Starlight.
- Because of its upbeat, fast tempo, you could truly see the sharpness and coordination of her dance.
- The beautiful tone, the life-size choreography and lyrics dedicated to the 2nd Gen members.
- All of this really showed them "THIS right here is Oozora Subaru" and left them with pure joy.
- Could never forget seeing Subaru and 2nd gen perform this song together during her live. It's a wonderful song with an amazing story where you can feel Subaru's struggles and growth throughout the lyrics
- With the recently-released MV, you can see that all of 2nd Gen are precious, important friends to her. Whenever you listen to/watch it, you can genuinely feel the bond there and that's why they love it.
- It'll boost your mood when you're feeling down and make you forget you're even depressed. A song as bright as Subaru herself.
- (Yea basically everything they said)
Subaru wasn't able to leave a comment this time, but I've posted a bit about her thoughts on Starlight here if you're curious.
Song #6: Countach by Todoroki Hajime
View attachment 100130View attachment 100131
Fan Comments:
- This song has a huge variety in terms of pitch. They really loved that you could feel both the coolness and the sexiness in Hajime's voice.
- The particular lyrics and how "I got it 壇上へ" sounds like "上がれ壇上へ" (small pun on how "I got it" sounds like "agare" in JP)
- Her singing voice is clear yet powerful and her choreography is so cool, you can't stop watching.
- It's easy to recommend cause you'll never get bored no matter how many times you listen to it
- A dark but cool and addicting song with choreography that Hajime made herself.
- Loved the way it was filled with everything that Hajime wanted to do, like how the dance could fully show off her skills and the singing was something she could imagine herself doing at a live. Even other pros did videos on how good the choreography was.
- The gap between the cool Hajime and the baby on stream.
Hajime's Comment:
"I absolutely wanted my first original song have this sorta dark vibe that you could dance to. The lyrics are about how this world is unfair and living honestly just ends up going nowhere. It'd be nice if we could live smarter but since we can't stop being honest with ourselves, what's the point in overthinking it? "May as well just dance woohoo!" was the sort of vibe I asked for. This is my personal interpretation but the word "doubt" can also mean doubting the world and even the truth. But doubting isn't always a bad thing and there are times where you have to face that doubt. Even if it's a pain in the ass, don't get carried away, look at it with your own eyes and make your best judgment. I requested for the sound to get quieter before the dance break because I wanted to create a sense of anticipation of what was going to happen next. I also thought that having different tempos in the sound would make it more erotic so that's how it ended up like this!"
Song #7: キスだけでいいからね (Just a Kiss is Enough) by Nekomata Okayu
View attachment 100137
This was basically a bonus song to help promote Okayu's 2nd Sololive so Towa didn't have time to collect fan comments.
Okayu's Thoughts:
"Just a kiss is... not enough"
Translation is kinda rough as I just did this on a whim in the middle of the night, so take some of it with a grain of salt. Not sure if I'll be consistent with these or if I'll even do the next one, but I think I'd like to since this is really cool of Towa to do and a great way to spread around the lesser-known Holo songs.
Towa is releasing a cover of Mumei:
I had forgotten but she said she wanted to release something special for the owl before she graduated. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out with delays and stuff but still, I'm glad she got to release it.
Edit:

And from her tweet:

Okayu:
May 15: 2 million subs and letter: Okayu reached 2 million subs after doing a karaoke endurance stream. She prepared a letter to express her gratitude and cried plenty of blessed happy tears. I translated the letter as well as shilled her 2nd album and sololive. Speaking of which:
May 28: Okayu's 2nd sololive: Screenshots and some thoughts/gushing on how great Okayu's 2nd sololive was.
Mio + Multi-Talent:
- May 4: 2nd album and sololive announcement: Mio announced her 2nd album and 1st ever sololive after a fun 3D stream. Plenty of great hag tears. She also dropped a new original song.
- May 6: Korone's anxiety and consultation: Mio, Miko and Subaru did a consultation stream where they roleplayed as certain characters while they gave advice to Holo members who called in. The worries were mostly fun and easy-going until Korone called in. She said that she was genuinely worried about Cover after all the graduations. After moving to the countryside, she didn't have a chance to speak to anyone and her anxiety built up a ton over time. Mio, Miko and Subaru gave her their honest thoughts, helped her feel better and promised to hang out afterwards.
- Korone clarified some things and gave more of her thoughts in a later stream.
- May 9: Following up from the consultation, Korone went out to eat with Subaru, Mio, Fubuki and likely some other talents.
- May 18: Hag party to help Mio feel better: The first part of this post is about Subaru helping Lui host her Animal Tower tournament after she got overwhelmed. The 2nd part was about after the tournament, when Mio ended up feeling incredibly worried about something. It got to her so much that she ended up depressed and had to talk to the other girls about it.
- This turned into a huge gathering at Subaru's house and became an all-night party. Mio had a stream in the morning, which she did from Subaru's house while the other girls were still there, barely awake.
- I said in the post that I assumed what made Mio so worried was related to her sololive. In a later stream though, she clarified that while she can't talk about it, it was entirely a personal matter and wasn't related to anything with Holo work.
For @Piava and anyone else that was interested. After this, I'll just crosspost here any time I do an informative post in the other thread.
Is it just me or her ass gets bigger every single day?

A major selling point of going to war until 18th century Europe (when this started to be brushed under the table) and fucking Desert Storm (when it was actually enforced) was the opportunity to get some pussy at spear/gunpoint, desu.
No reason to rely on your comrades' ass when defenseless peasant pussy is right there.

It's not Japan per se, it's long distance travel on commercial airlines. You're getting everyone's coof rather than the local stuff you're adapted to, and you're trapped in a little tube with hundreds of them.
