On a tangent, I see many people here loyal to their oshis (not you John Vtuber), what made you pledge to them?
Difficult question tbh
Even though i have been watching her since week 1, it took me quite a while to Oshi her
I watched HoloJP clips for a bit before the HoloEN debut but I wouldn't say I had an Oshi back then yet
Kiara just kinda stuck with me because I share a timezone with her, so she is the easiest Holo to watch
And only really after learning about her irl Idol background did I really start to Oshi her and wanting to support her
Seeing how hard she tried in the past, how much shit she went through for that Idol dream and how Hololive was her last chance at it - That story made me suddenly understand the appeal of the Idol journey and supporting someone from the ground up. Its not about becoming the very best, beating records or whatever, its about achieving a life-long dream, and sharing the happiness that comes with accomplishing every step on the way there.
And despite all the shit in her past, she is still such a kind and genuine person who will see the best in people and be very openly trusting.
For I, despite being much younger than her, have already turned a lot more cynical and cold. Having her in my life does remind me that good people are still out there.
I don't Oshi Kiara for her streaming content. If I was just looking at game choices, there are probably Holos I like more. I don't Oshi her for her music as well. There too, there are Holos whose music I enjoy more.
I oshi Kiara because she is uniquely Kiara, for her personality and nothing less.
