Kanata - Lamy, Nene, Okayu, Luna, Botan, Polka, Miko, Haachama, Anya, Ririka, Raden, Biboo, Gigi, Su

This is what the stadium looks like, so it'll be interesting to see what they'll do with Gigi, Vivi and Su who have yet to receive their 3D models:

Further information in my post in the general thread:

NijiHolo Interleague information:

First up, check out this delightfully photoshopped illustration of what the spectator experience will be like. The display boxes showing who is standing on the bases is cool, but most of the attention will be on the big screens showing the actual game.

These are the seats and what you'll have to pay for them. During the stream they went through each category and gave an example of the view you can be expecting.
View attachment 92800
The seats go from 5000JPY (34USD) to 14000JPY (95USD) for the major categories with some special, more expensive seating categories including a lounge for 10 people costing 550000JPY (3700USD). The more expensive categories include varying levels of merchandise and other special services.

The two streams by the chairmen, most of the contents are the same, just the draft part is unique for each:



@The Proctor, you wanted to be reminded.

Spoiler: Quick aside, nothing to do with the tournament

From the Hololive subreddit. This guy is genuine and should probably face jail time for this comment, as it has actually caused me physical pain.

I hope Kiara gets better if I remember correctly she's got several medical conditions right

If you want more of the Chicken Pillow Saga, she did a twitter space:

Botan will be a V-Rival in Street Fighter 6, which will require fight data. Throughout March, she will post invitations for players to fight her to train the V-Rival.

Botan said (TL by Aizen):
___
Until the end of March, I'll suddenly recruit for matches, take measures during streams and have fun with everyone while making #ししもんくん so I'd be happy if you'd come and play together with me

The recruited chars are「Ken・Marisa・Mai」! In order to create a wonderful Shishimon-kun, we need lots of research data, so C/M and Strength aren't important! (I bought it today so Legends are welcome too!)

I'll post recruitment on X, so please follow me

Fubuki, Kanata, Lamy, Marine, and Miko will be on DMM TV show with the fist episode being on March 19th. The premise is that the five are on a cruise ship that turns out to be infested with zombies and will have to solve puzzles.
Trailer as the site is region-locked.


Mio plans to hold an award ceremony for the best sneeze by a holomem of 2025, with the submission form being opened in advance.

In the meantime, we have opened the entry form for the 2025 "Hexive of the Year".

▶ [Submission form]

One recommendation will count as one sneeze. If you have multiple recommendations, please submit multiple times
The event is not confirmed, but we will do our best.
We appreciate your cooperation, Hololive listeners who love sneeze

Mio ended up speaking more about the "Hekishibu of the Year 2025" project during today's AsaMio so I figured I would translate what she spoke about here for those who don't understand Japanese. Long story short, the form will be open for the entirety of the calendar year for 2025. Mio mentioned that she wanted to make and post the form now as she thought of it just so that people had it and could submit when they felt like it. The plan is to decide categories later near the end of the year then hold the awards ceremony. She thinks that sneezes are a bit of a fleeting thing, since so much happens every day in hololive, that people could forget them. Especially near the start of this year. Mio hasn't gotten everything cleared through COVER/her manager yet, but there's zero chance they say no to Mio's project ideas.

No other timeline was given except for that the form will be open for entries (she has already received over 200!) for the full length of 2025. It is now safe to confirm that only sneezes that actually happened during calendar year 2025 will be reviewed for the project.

Checkout the rest of the episode if you missed it live.

I missed the last two casualties. But she seems to be not as traumatized fighting wild Torkoals, focused on talking about a Le Grande Maison Tokyo, a cooking J-drama from a few years ago. Don't speak Japanese so I cannot tell exactly what she is saying about the show, I only recognized because she kept saying the title and the main characters' names for the last five minutes.

TIL that World's Fairs are still a thing, that one is happening in Osaka this year, and that for some reason the Japan Expo (France's largest Japanese pop culture convention) are doing an event... In Japan, to show how Japanese culture is exported abroad

Japan Expo Paris in Osaka !

La nouvelle vient de tomber; Japan Expo s'invite à Osaka en 2025 ! Le festival Japan Expo Paris in Osaka se fait l'ambassadeur de l'impact de la culture japonaise à l'étranger lors de l'Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japon !

Translation:

Since its beginnings over 20 years ago, Japan Expo has always had the vocation of sharing Japanese culture and pop-culture during its festivals. A real meeting place for enthusiasts, the festival has built up a reputation in France, but also internationally, thanks to its guests and its high-quality programme. Every year, we have the great pleasure of welcoming Japanese personalities who bring us a little of their country.
In 2025, for the first time, Japan Expo will meet the Japanese public on the occasion of Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan!
Japan Expo Paris in Osaka has the immense honour of answering the call of the World Expo Organising Committee to show the influence of Japanese culture abroad. This collaboration between the festival and METI Kansai marks the first time in the history of Japan Expo that an edition takes place entirely in Japan! This is an important step for the festival, which is extremely proud to be able to demonstrate and represent the impact of Japanese culture in all its forms in our Western countries, and more widely on a global scale!
The Japanese artists who will be taking turns on the main stage, and the stands, will be an opportunity to measure the real impact of Japan on culture abroad.

So basically, the Japanese Ministry of Trade has roped them into using their brand to make an exhibit sucking their own soft power off at home? Really weird.
At least this means Hololive and the Japan Expo organisation keep a good relationship and we'll keep having them as guests in future editions of the Paris event. Last year I kicked myself for not attending, but with the Olympics finding transportation and lodging in Paris was impossible during those Summer dates.

Probably some part of a deal to get funding or sponsors for their actual events in France.

We know Japan Expo was so happy with the results of last year's Holo appearance (despite snubbing Holo for years, siding with Niji before they exploded and generally doubting the popularity of chuubas) that they travelled to Cover HQ in person to discuss further collaborations ( and also likely as a bit of corpo submission).

If you ever want to watch this along with Higurashi, make sure that ads are somehow disabled first. Watching it on it's own is probably not advisable as she only occasionally speaks up.

(Oh, also I love that the thumbnail is based on the OG Higurashi art from the VN.)

Plop.

AZKi gets spooked by herself in holo8.


Calli talks about meeting with Gigi at a restaurant and introduced her to friends. Gigi bonded with them by saying she loves yaoi.


Noel explains that getting Subaru's used lipbalm from Subaru's manager isn't something to be worried about. [Previous part]

She's trying to cheese so hard and still failing.

I need her to do smol Mario challenge next.

Seiso Vtubers realizing they are singing unseiso karaoke is my favorite thing

There are so many bridges to popular radio songs that were far more explicit than you could ever hear on the radio. Producers absolutely knew this, which is why those bridges normally only had very clear bits for the less explicit stuff. It'll never not be funny when a vtuber is doing a karaoke and finally has to say the full lyrics. And it'll keep happening and keep being funny.

Shiori just called something gay, off to a good start.

Mococo suffering stream

Tuning in a bit late but I've got the add-on that lets me rewind youtube streams even if they've disabled that feature. Using it to skim through the stream and...
has Mococo spent a full two hours on the same map without stepping more than five steps into the house?
