Phase Connect JP Gen 1 'KALEiDO' Speculation/Liveposting

[seenister]

why bother with /vt/, come on

Damn. Didn't expect you to just drop it like that lol. Anyway, it's because they were vagueposting about her there specifically her alleged beef with Kiara.

 

[VTuberThrow]

I'm glad Clara is in the JP gen by choice and not just because fishman needed slave labor translation. Subbed to Clara and Loki for any karaoke streams at least. Probably going to be mostly vods only though if they stream at actual JP hours. Loki and Pico both mentioned travel interest so I wonder if they might end up doing some travel vlog collabs. Wishing them all luck!

Spoiler: keeki derail

Well, the thing you have to understand about 2013/2014 Keeki is she was incredibly full of bitterness, at first because her group had been dropped by Victor Entertainment, and later because her idol career had been completely torpedoed in dramatic fashion. She was also 16 18 years old. So she'd bluntly make comments about other gaijin idols on her stream or blog, and from that you could extrapolate "beef". I think that was what happened in the case of Kelsey.

I'd put good money that Kiara doesn't even remember anything she said back then. She didn't even remember much more recent cosplayer beef from 2018/2019 when Selphy brought it up.

e: made some corrections

Not sure about Loki, but Pico said she wants to do some stuff while traveling iirc.

Joined Production Kawaii as Hana Flores, debuting April 29, 2021 and streaming on YouTube. Graduated Production Kawaii on August 15, 2021, channel was cleared of all vids.

Do we know why she dropped out of Kawaii so quickly?

According to the idol wiki she turned 30 in December 2023.

Stop, stop! She can only get so perfect!

When I was digging, the rrat was Keeki having some kind of blogpost where she antis other gaijin idols and happened to target Keru the most which in response Keru told her she like something of hers and Keeki was like "Okay"~ lol. It sounds so stupid now that I think about it.

Anyway, that was an interesting dig.

There were all sorts of rumors about this, but nothing particularly credible.

Spoiler: rumors

The big rumor was that she wanted a JP work visa, and Kawaii couldn't get her one. The Kawaii of that era had some weird management too. She seemed to leave amicably, but later Nene said it was inappropriate to include Hana on one of her anniversary fanarts. And Peari appeared to support Kawaii's Gen 3 when they mass-graduated. But those could mean nothing at all.

It's also rumored that Star Ring was able to offer her a work visa, but again, all rumors.

Spoiler: Clara content history

Moved to Japan after high school on the 1y working holiday visa, to try to get into an idol group. Won Universal Music's audition program "Akiba Idol Hunting" in late 2013. Then got some more media attention after being interviewed by TV Tokyo's "Why did you come to Japan". Also got found by a documentary, Big in Japan. The timeline on the documentary is unclear, I'm not sure if it covered her pre-audition or not, or if it was just after she joined Hajirai Rescue.

As a result at age 19 joined Hajirai Rescue as Kelsey Parmagoni, which is likely her real name. Left Sept 2014, in her own words, because Hajirai Rescue were part-timers and she wanted to work full-time as an idol. Released a gravure DVD in Sept 2014 that had been filmed through Hajirai Rescue's agency, and did some solo performances.

Joined Jelno! in October, through their auditions. Note that her 1y visa ran out in October. Stopped performing with Jelno! very quietly at some point in Nov 2014, and returned to Canada in Dec. Remained affiliated with Jelno! for a while without participating in activities. Streamed seldom on NicoNico, for the last time in 2016, and posted covers on Soundcloud, the last time in 2016.

Did little online for a few years, still a huge weeb. Returned to Japan and started streaming (rarely) on Twitch in 2018. Performed with heidichan in an independent group called HighKick in June 2019, which went on hiatus in Oct 2019. More of a "let's perform together" thing.

Went full time streamer in Jan 2020, possibly due to the pandemic. Was intermittent by Sept 2020 and ceased streaming entirely in November. At some point in 2020/2021 learned vtuber rigging.

Joined Production Kawaii as Hana Flores, debuting April 29, 2021 and streaming on YouTube. Graduated Production Kawaii on August 15, 2021, channel was cleared of all vids.

Rebranded her partnered Kelsey Parmagoni Twitch channel to Morino Peari and debuted as an indie vtuber on Nov 6, 2021. Was a regular streamer as Peari for only two months, then went intermittent. It's unknown to me what she was doing for the year of inactivity between Peari and Beryl, perhaps her someone who followed her much closer knows. Announced indefinite "1 year+" hiatus as Peari Nov 6, 2022, but remained semi-active on Twitter.

Debuted as in Star Ring as Beryl Lerou on Dec 10, 2022. Streamed regularly on YouTube as Beryl until her graduation on June 26, 2023, channel was cleared of all vids. Did not return until now, except Peari Twitter activity.

According to the idol wiki she turned 30 in December 2023.

Never going to pass up an opportunity to say - FUCK YOU NENE! (not this one > )

Maybe that "wow Sexy parents" at debut had a more Freudian tint than first thought?

Time for the last 2

Speed Force Pekora Clara: Fishman noticed that Roca was getting to much traction and need to balance the equation with her, still why this one was deployed as JP and not EN? you guys apparently know her, hilarious she has to explain what Hag means for the JP bros, she likes Factorio so the autism is guaranteed and also obligatory League mention that is a requirement to enter this company

Final Score: View attachment 62311/10

also ffs Sakana hire a translator you cheapskate
View attachment 62312

God of Stories Loki: when her voice was out i thought she was Rou Hatsuki a vtuber singer that i watch, but she was and still is active on her account, only a Sakana approved SadGirl tm could like Shark terror movies, btw she confirm that Sakana was teasing kaleido for a while, hiding them in several illustrations, ofc this being a sadgirl company she being a girlfailure is not unexpected, she looks like the zatsudan specialist and the illustrator of the group (that did Dizzy daki)

Final rating: View attachment 62321/10

Speed force Pekora and God of Stories are some peak references

As for me I don't speak moonrunes, so I didn't watch anything but the music on each debut, but based against on the thread reaction seems like Fishman picked a good crop once again especially with Clara leading the charge. I caught the tail end of her life as Beryl thanks to people here or the homeland posting her, so i know her singing skills, and I gotta say lounge bunny girl showgirl is a great combo!
I'm excited to watch her en collabs

As for the rest Roki Loki was great Yuu seems fun and the 2 lolis are probably good catches for their demo

As I said I don't understand moonrunes so I'll prolly only be seeing them if they do an en Collab or if Hylic or someone else clips them, but I wish them all the best capturing and retaining their JP audiences you go Kaleido take Phase JP to the stars!

Don't open if you don't want to unhear it

I can't be the only one who thinks Clara sounds like Kson/Coco sometimes

That would be Iori

Standard Italian-American*

Despite the Italian last name, her father posts about Austrian stuff in German. Lombard genetics if anything, they're the Germanics that run around with Italian last names.

Her old Niconico community pages lists Austrian, British, Irish, and Italian heritage, so the normal NA melting pot I guess. Maybe Tyrol?

Keeki stayed with Tone Jewel until she was nineteen and her wannabe groomer nuked her career, though?

Some CCV stats I’ve noticed for the PhaseJP debuts:

Pico 1.8k
Yuu 1.6k
Memory 1.6k
Clara 2.4k
Loki 1.8k
1st PhaseJP collab 1.1k


Also thanks to @hylic and @Ｍｕｒｒａｙしないで for the translations.

Spoiler

Sorry, I did the math wrong, she was 18. But the years line up, 2013 Tone Jewel was dropped by Victor Entertainment, then 2014 her version of Tone Jewel ended with the leader's graduation plus visa issues. The wannabe groomer then nuked her solo career by ending her management's involvement with her. Not sure if she was 18 or 19 then.
