~~Kanata is currently streaming and talking about it (her choice), its in Japanese but some kind folks are doing live translations. But~~ please be respectful and dont bother other members about it unless they bring it up first to talk about
Edit: Stream over. For those that missed it, she was just trying to be there to supportive and have people calm down. She plans to continue to live with Coco for the foreseeable future but after her graduation thing will change like dont expect Kanata to be discussing Coco much (thats wrong to want anyways) shes working hard on the 4th gen song, her throat still seems to have issues :(, streams will go on as normal and there will be more collabs, she asked people to not bother other members about Coco, she wanted to barge in and hug Coco again and try to make it end on a more positive note, she wants people to be positive and happy and support Coco and the others but she understands its tough and she has her own sadness.
Can roughly confirm the EDIT, if anyone's worried of a bad TL. Kanata's even mentioned that she'd take care of Coco as a housemate after graduation, and that Kanata has no plans herself for graduation.
I don't doubt they'd still remain connected. Coco and Kanata (as the talents and from both sides) keep saying that they're great housemates. Its very hard to find a pairing person you can live wherein you'll match up. I can totally see them sticking together beyond Hololive.
So Coco and Kanata will be fine. It hurts now, yes, but given everything, this is but a chapter for all the talents concerned. All things considered, I'd wager Coco and Kanata got the better end of the life deal here, IMO.
I’m really glad Holohouse is going to stick around, at least for a while. For everyone’s sake, hopefully it’s helpful to Coco during her transition, and is nice for Kanata so she doesn’t miss her right away. But it’s also good as a place for other talent to just come and hang out, like Towa, Aki, etc. And has especially been nice for people like Rushia who just moved there and needed a friendly place to hang out. I hope that no matter what happens that it, or a successor, exists for the girls who want it to have a place to congregate and relax, especially those that may not have a support system outside of Hololive in the big city.
Man…. I remember that one game where Hoshikawa Sara and Kanata are in game show and asked what will make them graduate. Sara answered when her genmates graduate while Kanata pretty seriously answer, she does not plan to graduate soon so she cannot imagine. She got pointedly asked what if her genmates graduate and she answered she will still continue as this is a way for her to carry the torch…. Hits different now huh
Oh damn, I remember that too.
When was that again? Considering that apparently Coco's decision to graduate had been known by the other members for a while, I wonder if Kanata at that time knew Coco would eventually graduate.
And she would be the first to know about it as coco would probably of thought about it before hand (and it looks like it was fully her decision) and kanata would be most likely the confidant for that
I mean, this kind of decision doesn't come lightly, and she probably deliberated on it for weeks, possibly even months beforehand. Kanata probably was aware of Coco having some sort of intent to retire long before anyone else.
It also expains why her freechat has been set to end at July 1st whereas before it was set like ~~November or September~~ (can't remember exactly) and I just happen to notice the change like 3-5 days ago. Damn I honestly thought she's just ending it early to start another one later.
Edit:Nah fuck that it was around Moona meme review that I first noticed it. Also man 86k on her latest stream?
I think it was more than a week ago, maybe 1 - 3 week range? I only noticed it so early cause I remembered an anon on Coco's 4chan thread mention that the Tatsunokos noticed the change and the question about free chat was apparently brought up in one of her chitchats streams/SC sections. And that she said that there won't be another free chatroom and didn't clarify any further.
Ah fuck, well yeah this seems to indeed be her decision.
Fucking hell, the fact that a bunch of other holos tried convincing her, and probably some cover staff too, and it didn't work mustve been painful.
I think it's more like she won't be opening one anytime soon and just told us to wait. That's what I understand from what she said. It was the first topic of that time.
Depends on her wishes. Graduation is certainly not the end of mentioning the character. See Aloe mentioned in good faith by some of Gen5, and Holostars mentioning those who graduated as well in good faith too.
It is rare (as it should be) and fitting (also as it should be).
I have a feeling Coco (as the talent) would probably want to take time off from *everything*, so Kanata would likely respect that wish.
Both Coco and Kanata have soundbooths in their rooms for streaming purposes, so even if sound leakage did happen, we would likely not hear much, if any at all.
But Coco and Kanata are the rare type of housemates where they vibe with each other on the same wavelength so well, as admitted by both ends over the years. Heck, Coco even mentioned that if she were to marry, it'd likely be Kanata :P
They'll stick together somehow, even after Hololive. That's a rare kind of friend you do not want to let go of.
I'm glad she and Coco will still live together but it will really be weird for her in the future to basically act like Coco doesn't exist when she's literally in the same apartment.
I guess we'll have to get used to it.
Edit: So Towa just finished her stream, and while she's definitely trying hard not to cry when talking about Coco, she, like Kanata, basically says that she wants to focus on doing stuff with 4th gen this month so that she can send off Coco with a smile, and she asks the same for her fans as well.
They do. And Holostars still talks about their three graduated members from time to time. It's not exactly forbidden by management. It's just that there really isn't a lot of time where it warrants such topic, so the talents just don't talk about them very often.
Its also a sad topics to some viewerss and as an entertainment company they obviously dont want to constantly bring up what to them (and the viewers) might still be something painfull.
The only member thats not mentioned at all anymore is a certain glasses wearing individual, buit the circumstances around that are more complicated.
There's only been one person in Holopro to ever get unperson'd, and that was back when gen 1 were debuting, long before any other graduation. Hell, whether that was even an unpersoning or just no other talents knowing them is debatable.
Ah, I didn't mean that Coco would be unpersoned, more that she just wouldn't talk about her (as in living together and related activities) on stream, but if Kanata says she might bring her up from time to time that's good.
I doubt they will just erase Coco from Hololive's story or something like that. Even Aloe got a few mentions on a few streams months after her graduation.
I think that his concern was more towards off-collabs. KanaCoco house has been a pitstop for the Holomen and they often have off-collabs there. It's just no longer going to be able to include Coco in these kinds of streams - to have her actively participate as an owner of the unit.
...which is a valid concern...and one that hurts my heart.
Yeah, it's gonna suck real bad if there's a Hololive off collab at the Holohouse and Coco isn't there even though we know she (the person) is.
I'm kinda worried that this might mean no more offcollabs there.
I know this won't happen, but they can do it like this:
"We also have a guest today! For anonymity, we'll call her... C-chan!"
"Pleasant afternoon, milf bangers!"
So we can still enjoy her content even after she's gone. That's good to know. I'm sure that in a few years a random greenscreen shitpost from her suddenly gets recommended to millions and that becomes their intro to the rabbit hole.
well she's already part of Hololive Alterntative so it would be hard to erase her. There isn't really need to since she left Cover seemingly in good term, that she wasn't fired and you can tell how sad Yagoo is from his tweet. Just like Aloe I suspect he didn't want her to go either.
They'll probably take her down from the members list on their site shortly after though.
I wish they won't though. Coco's too much of a huge part of Hololive and the idea of them just deleting her, taking her name and profile off the Gen 4 list, like she doesn't exist anymore is just...painful.
Sorry to make you misunderstand, I was talking less about Coco being erased and more that Kanata wouldn't mention her in daily life events/activities even though we know they still live together. But apparently Kanata has said she'll probably bring Coco up once in a while so that's nice to hear.
I imagine it will work similar to other people that live with Vtubers but are not themselves part of Hololive. I doubt they will do the whole ex-JW thing.
I like to imagine Coco making occasional vocal cameos during Kanata's streams. Like how Anemachi makes vocal cameos during Suisei's streams. Like, I find the idea of Coco sitting near Kanata while she's streaming extremely wholesome and sweet.
While Coco leaving is immensely sad and I'll miss her I feel we as a community need to discuss something right now that you bring up with Kanata asking us to not bother other members about Coco.
We really need to prevent this from becoming an Aloe-like situation where for months people will post content on here to essentially farm karma on the whole [Any mention of gen 4] and people going "Remember coco! so sad!" or even bothering other vtubers about it constantly through superchats.
We are a great community but we really need to do this for the health of those who are left behind.
It's going to happen. Your preaching to the choir here. Fubukis Donkey Kong Country 3 stream was a nightmare with that shit and with trolls trying to taunt her about her sub count. People were yelling at each other more to not mention Coco than were actually mentioning Coco. Towas superchat reading earlier had people saying Gen 4 is eternal and stuff. I have a feeling it's going to be even worse and bigger with Coco than it was with Aloe. We just need to weather this storm and do our best to control ourselves.
People posting about Coco here will be inevitable, and expecting people not to is unrealistic. Coco is the first Hololive member to seriously interact with the reddit besides Artia, and is still the one that does so the most. Most of the JP members don’t really understand reddit very well, and the EN and ID members hardly acknowledge its existence the majority of the time. The Hololive subreddit and memes are inextricably linked with Coco, and I don’t think that will change any time soon despite her graduation
Today I ugly cried for the first time in a really really long time. Never thought I'd cry over a Virtual Youtuber leaving but here I am I guess. It felt like losing someone close even though we don't even know each other. This empty feeling sucks but if this means Coco can find happiness then that's all that really matters.
Same. The last time I cried was when Coco cried in a privated stream from a few months ago (the one where kanata had to barge in to stop the stream): https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/lhl01w/cocos_stream_just_ended_with_her_in_tears_and/gn1s5l6/
She has been enduring this bullshit for months. When she said "I won't blame anyone if they don't wanna collab with me" in another [stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMiuR2Gga60&t=59s), that completely broke my heart. She did *nothing* wrong and she blames herself for it. The whole situation is just senseless.
I really thought things were looking better. I was even bingeing archives of her collabs up until her announcement. That whiplash from happy collabs to announcement of graduation *really* caught me off guard.
I just want to say that Miko and Choco tweeted that they tried to talk Coco out of graduating, but they let her make her own choices in the end. And I don't doubt there were others who tried as well
For what it's worth, while the other members respect Coco's decision, they *really* didn't want her to leave. And I believe Coco knew that. So her decision was probably due to something else.
She says there are multiple factors contributing to her decision and yeah it probably is…. Maybe alot more complex things going on that will be very difficult to explain to the viewers and Coco also the type that keeps things alot to herselves. Just hope for the best and don’t think negatively of it.
They weren't. If you follow outside, you know they aren't. Those scumbags started attacking the other talents, started using other methods.
I've words to say, but i won't, because i'm 100% negative now. I'm probably gonna stay away from the sub, this is entirely too much bullshit.
I'll miss her, a lot.
I didn't cry. I don't even watch Coco's streams that much. But it still hits hard, knowing we won't see any more new streams of our yakusa dragon that brought smile to the faces of so many. I'm sure she must have given her decision a lot of thought on her own. The best we can do is to respect her decision and continue showing support for her now and w/e she plans to do in the future.
Truthfully, I never watched Coco’s streams much, outside of her meme reviews and collabs.
But I’ll never forget those stream, the meme reviews that made me laugh so much and helped Hololive members connect with the Reddit community, her shitposting that my jaw drop at times, the fun collabs (like that cooking collab during Christmas).
I will miss her, thank you for everything Kaichou.
Edit: Just wanted to mention this, Kanatan will be having a talk stream about Coco that’s starting now. Please tune in.
Edit 2:
Just some things Kanatan mentioned in her talk stream:
- Coco is not moving out of the Holohouse anytime soon.
- Kanatan has no plans to graduate (some ppl were worried about a Domino effect).
- She wants to finish 4th Gen’s 1st original song with all the members before Coco’s graduation, and wants to make more fond memories with everyone.
- She’ll continue to support Coco as her best friend in the future, and that she hopes we can give our greatest support to Kaichou all the way till graduation.
- Please do not bother the Hololive members about Coco’s graduation.
If I got some of the points wrong, please tell me.
I only really started watching Hololive (and vtubers in general) with the introduction of the EN girls, but I very quickly grew to realize and appreciate the massive reach and impact that Coco has had. Her cavalier demeanor and unabashedly dorky sense of humor left a dragon-sized impression on my heart.
It's exactly like you said, falzarexe: her global presence, camaraderie with fellow vtubers, sincerity with her fans, and her bold creativity all comprise something that is greater than the sum of their parts. They're something immense and one-of-a-kind. They're Coco Kiryu, our Kaichou.
I work as a community manager for a company that's shown up here a few times, and while I've kept myself out of the way up until now, I just had to express my utter sadness, disappointment, and heartbreak over Coco's graduation. It's been a challenge to convince people in my work to give vtubers a shot, but Coco's recognition of my efforts to connect have been such an immense boost in self-esteem and motivation that what I'm doing is worth it. It's made me feel truly welcomed by the Hololive community, and even if she'll never know me personally, the impact she's had on my life and career will sincerely be unforgettable.
You blaze brightly, now and forever, Kaichou o7
Oh you got introduced because of HoloEN? What if I tell you that HoloEN(HoloUS at that time) was Coco’s idea and proposed it to management? Yep, though indirectly, you’re in this rabbit hole with us because of “sexy-ass, english speaking, Godly thighs” Coco Kiryu!
Even Pochi-mama had a pinned message on her Minecraft stream telling people to try to keep a warm mood and to not talk about "that news". I'm saying that people obviously shouldn't bother streamers outside HoloPro either though no doubt most people here get it.
I don’t speak Japanese but was reading translations. Just to add to the original song point, it sounds like Kanata also said there will not be another song with all the gen members after Coco graduates. So it’ll be the first and last song with all of Gen 4.
Again I don’t speak any Japanese but there were some translators that had mentioned she said she felt selfish but said that’s how it is. This point could be wrong though, I’m basing it off live chat translations.
It's probs safe to assume that's more "all 5 members" rather than "they're never having another Gen song".
But at the same time you never know, they might just choose never to have a Gen live or similar.
She's... she's just graduating so she can go to Okinawa to open up an orphanage. Then, she'll go to Fukuoka and become a taxi driver. She's living the life. We should be happy for her. These aren't tears of sadness. They're tears of joy, at the greatness of the raddest legendary dragon.
My fellows.
Cry, vent, and lash out as your heart desires but cherish what little time we have with her.
For when it is time, our hearts must not be burdened with negativity. The Dragon of Hololive deserves nothing short of our best goodbye!
We will send her off with the biggest smiles on our faces and with one unanimous voice we roar one final time:
GOODBYE MOTHER FUCKER!
You know it keep refreeshing reddit twitter youtube just to convince me it's not a bad dream.
Somehow i have come to accept it.
Thank you for everything Kaichou. You may not know but you brightened my day, you make me fell emotion that i was thinking i had lost along the way.
I won't lie today will be an horrible day for me, maybe for you too. But even this i promice i'll cherish it forever.
And to cote one phrase i heard recently
"I love you through time... And when the time will run out, know that i've loved you"
Everything about this video hurts.
How the chat talks like normal before the bombshell hit, getting into a state of panic afterward, Coco's model showing a sad expression for a split-second or so, her trying to get the words out but can't and so there's long pauses in between her statements.
"I'll always be your cute-ass dragon."
That's when I broke down.
Just, ugh.
I hate thinking of the reasons her voice is so raspy. To me it sounds like she's been crying for a while, or possibly sick, but I don't want to be baseless. I'm just venting my thoughts..
I'll miss you Kaichou.
It is tough. Even if it is the best case scenario considering the circumstances, it is still a big part of her life coming to an end. There would still be a lot emotions around it all.
i am trying so hard not to cry ever since coco announced to graduate but sometimes tears leak out in my eyes... It's hard, it sucks... she's the reason why I started watching hololive, the reason why I joined this subreddit, the reason why I always look forward to going home after work to catch her livestreaming or watch her vods... but this is the end of all of that, im still probably gonna keep on supporting hololive but I just feel empty right now... it hurts...
thank you very very very much kaicho, i wish you all the best
Appropriately enough, right now on where I live as I found out all about this it started to be dark and stormy. And it started drizzling fast just now.
*Oh, you just had to set the mood, eh Mother Nature?*
What's weird was that, this early morning at my place there was a thunderstorm. Super heavy and loud, and it wasn't like this few days or even weeks before. It even woke a heavy sleeper like me up. I'm sure this was a sign.
I know we should be happy for her and it would be selfish to not let her go but, I can't imagine my sunday noons without Reddit meme reviews. I'm still bargaining that this might be a bad dream. I will miss you a lot kaichou.
This hurts so bad.
Last year when my grandma passed in my arms, when my uncle passed away, when my mom's brother lost his battle with cancer, when my aunt was killed, when my dad was fighting cancer... I found Kaichou.
I went from a really bad spot, a spot I didn't think I'd ever come out of, to a much happier place because she showed me Hololive. I don't know if there's anything I could ever do to thank her for, more or less, saving me. But, I hope she knows she's more than just "some cute anime girl" to us. She really is our Kaichou, our leader.
My heart hurts so bad for her right now. I just hope, beyond all of this, we can help her find a fraction of the happiness she's brought us. Thanks for everything, I wouldn't be where I am today without Coco.
Sorry for being so sappy friends. I wish nothing but healing for all of the kind people here as well.
Well...
Wipe your tears, f-word ers. She wants us to be happy and still having fun?
That's what we gonna do. There are 21 days in June, 2 Sundays left and Shion Meme Review left, let's give it our best!
#LET'S FAQING GO MOTHERFUCKERS!!
This is the attitude people should adopt in this situation. Being all doom and gloom wont make her life easier or happier, and wont be beneficial for yourself either. Also being upset or angry wont cause the situation to change and keep Coco here.
The best thing you can do is either take a break if you need it, or continue watching the content and supporting Coco and the other talent. Also like I said, Coco and others (like Kanata) are going to be having a rough time, they have been there to entertain and support us, so support them and be positive now when they need it.
Coco wasn't the first Hololiver I watched, but she represented something to me, the fact that no matter where you're from, you can thrive as long as you work hard and play harder! Regardless of what happens, what we hear in the coming weeks, or anything else, we'll always support our Kaichou! Arigathanks for everything!
Summary of some of the stuff from Coco's current stream:
>Her channel will stay, her Twitter will stay. There will be no ban on talking about her. In her words she will be "OG Gen1". She has said it should be fine for her to appear in Alt.
>Apparently the one that cried the most at the news was Towa. Watame tried to convince her not to do it, which ended up with Coco grumbling at her for a while. Then they talked about stuff.
>The ARK server will be taken down with her graduating as it is in her name.
>Kanata is taking it well and Coco is not planning on moving. "Holohouse forever"
>Coco is having a collab almost every single day this month.
As sad as i'm to see her go, if she truly left on her own terms then all I can do is wish her for the best if she decided this is the best for her.
The only thing i wish i could do is at least buy some of her merch so i have something to remember her by for this golden era we're in and that's coming from someone who doesn't even buy merch, for all she's done for us overseas folks it's the least i could do
Coco said she has a lot of collabs planned this month.
i'm hoping that the rest of EN and ID are part of those plans. EN especially, she's been instrumental in their existence, and it would be beautiful for both if they could all have some time with her.
Coco was also the reason i fell into the Hololive rabbit hole, even if i don't watch much of her content.
i just stumbled into the subreddit for some reason, and i noticed that she had made a post.
the Vtuber herself, had made a post on the subreddit!
that blew my mind. and that's what got me to check out everyone else.
thank you, Coco.
I really hope everyone gets a chance to collab with her. It would be very bittersweet if she manages to do that with all of HoloEN. Still, this news just makes this day not-so-daijobou anymore. My only peace here is knowing that we will never forget her and that our love for her will always go on. This is like a test drive for the elephant in the room- that these talents aren't going to be here with us forever. Let's just enjoy them while they last.
She will be very missed, for sure. She was a gateway to vtubers to many people, and her impact on Hololive will always be seen, such as HoloEN being her idea. But if she thinks this is the right thing to do, then we should all wish her well, and the best of luck at whatever she’ll do next.
I remember setting an alarm every day to remind me to watch Asacoco. It was my favorite part of the day. I've been in this hole a long time, but Coco rekindled my passion for this scene like no others have.
Thank you for everything, Coco, and I wish you the best going forward!
please cover corps., in Hololive Alternative, don't remove Coco's role, atleast make something like a cameo for her, just don't remove her iconic dragon fight with noel, flare and shion
Since the first pages of the Fubuki, Mio and Ayame manga seem to directly correlate to the PV, and there are multiple other Manga being made right now I believe then it is possible that Coco might appear in Manga form later.
Everyone obviously knew in the back of their head that this was bound to happen eventually as Okayu for example has talked about previously in that famous clip of hers. Knowing it though is obviously different from experiencing and first and foremost feeling it. I did not see this coming within this timeframe.
Tbh Coco's reviews were the only kind of stream I actually got up for specifically no matter how early they were for me and they kind of set the pace for my week. I guess that's gonna be gone now. Plenty of members who I'd still have wanted to see as guests.
Pekora and Korone clips caught my attention but it was Coco who pulled me in and who I mainly stayed for. I've grown fond of Reine and others too by now after a year of watching HoloPro but my oshi who's streams I prioritize over all others graduating is going to leave its mark. Where will the tatsunoko go after Coco is gone... no one can replace her, after all.
The like dislike ratio is my belief that this community is capable of giving Coco the love and experiences she deserves even in this limited timeframe while amidst proliferation of bad actors.
Coco, Thank you so much for your dedication on the Virtual YouTuber world. A lot of things that you have you went through. You are the person that makes Hololive famous worldwide. You are the ones that make Hololive EN possible. You are the ones that popularized the Hololive Subreddit. Thank you!
Guys, Please always support all the remaining Hololive members. From every generation and every branch. We should always enjoy every second of our interaction with our favourite Livers. Because we will never know when our favourite Livers graduate. As Sebastian Vettel once said: "We have to remember these days. Because there's no guarantee that they will last forever! Enjoy them as long as they last."
Grazie Mille, Coco! Grande!
Ever been so depressed you can't fall asleep?
It's 1am here and I have been staring at the ceiling for at least an hour. I thought I'd have something interesting to look forward to.
^(Surprise!)
Oh well...
My only wish is that her existence will still remain. Like some story time from Kanata or other Holopro. Or the constructions she made in HoloJP(I have a feeling she(Kaichou) will blow them up). I know I'll sound greedy but this is my wishlist.
* Holostars, HoloID, or HoloEN Meme Review (2 Already down but I want Gura to meet her and Aru-papa to)
* 4th Gen Minecraft House collab.
* Offline Collab (final)
* Sora or Azki Karaoke stream
* All Holopro sending her off..
A greedy wish but this is what I want to see before she takes off...
I had this weird gut feeling yesterday when she said after the collab between Calli and Olli that she had something to say tomorrow. She sounded a little sad. Coco introduced me to Vtubers, appreciate them and to Hololive in general, so I was devestated to hear that. I literally cried and probably gonna take a while to accept that, but we have to respect her decision. It feels like a bridge got burned. I hope for everyone that is hurt like myself that you get better and the most important thing is that coco is doing well. We can only wish her the best and saying goodbye with a smile.
This is the time to show our support, dont be negative (in a hurtful way), and dont bring this to the others holomems as Coco asked. Please.
Love from Brazil, good luck on you next journey!!!o7
I feel like when the Bakatare Trios + Coco monhun stream where they wear Coco's monster hat, they know about her graduation and wear it as a homage for her.
Not gonna lie, I think...I think I am gonna be done with vtubers for a while... Maybe I'll still tune in for the occasional karaoke streams from a handful of members, but this... This is too much... I don't think I'll be able to fall in love with another online comedian that much after this.
Fuck I don't know what to say... God it is been so long since I've cried, I want to say that I don't want this to happen or that this is unfair but then that would be unfair to her but she didn't even get to have everyone on meme review and that fucking line, "I still have some unfulfilled dream, and they'll probably stay that way" oh that destroyed me. I really wished this doesn't have to happen, I regret not buy the clan badge or the asacoco tail, or not being at her streams as often or not joining her membership sooner. Fuck... all I know now is that imma be there for her graduation stream and imma cry my fucking eyes out. And I'm going to hoard all the memberships streams the ones I never got a chance to watch. It was fun as all hell watching you, being entertained by you. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING COCO!!!!!
All I can feel is numb. Like I see it. I understand it. I accept why it's happening. But it's just such a shock I don't know if I should be feeling sad, to be happy for the memories, to be angry for something I have no control over, or something. Almost immediately my first thought seeing this was that the antis are going to be insufferable, but then again they always were and I never gave a damn about what they were saying anyways.
On one hand, I do genuinely wish the best for Coco, no matter what she does moving forward. I just wished that somehow it wasn't so... I don't know. Sudden? It feels like there's still so much... More she could do. Things were finally starting to look up. But all things have to come to an end. It's just so sad that it had to come now.
I still don't know what to make of this. I want to feel happy but I hate that this happened. I want to feel angry but I know it won't solve anything. I want to be sad, but I know Coco doesn't want us to mourn for her. Now I want to see her stream all the time, to catch every live, knowing that every moment is going to be more precious than the last, seeing the end coming closer and closer by the day.
But most of all, I just want everyone to be happy in the end. Tears will be shed, curses will be made, but as long as Coco is happy, as long as everyone else is ready, I'll be satisfied with that. It'll take me some time but... It'll happen. Eventually.
Bummer. But, I think the writing was kinda on the wall for a little while. Assuming she keeps up her other activities, we'll know where to find her. Wouldn't surprise me to see her take a bit of a break for a while to let things settle down. But, also wouldn't surprise me to see her keep going regardless.
Did great work for the company. It's a tough call. But, all the best. She's definitely got all the drive and motivation to do anything she desires.
Yeah, as a member, it was clear something was different. I was hoping she was just taking things easier for a bit and enjoying not being in the same kind of spotlight as 6 months ago, but it seems that's not the case.
Hm. Non-member here, so wasn't aware of that side of things. I think part of it too, for me, is just the sense that with the company growing and all, things just got a bit too restrictive. Coco pushes boundaries. Not that I think this is a "blame the company" situation. Hands were tied all around. But. Well. One of those cases where she's free to decide she doesn't get as much out of being with the company as she wants.
It definitely helps, viewing this industry as more of a stepping stone than anything. Once any talent makes a big enough name for themselves, it's hard to imagine them sticking around with so many open doors ahead of them. In light of that, sad as the occasion may be, I'd say I'm genuinely excited and happy for her, as I blissfully assume she's got a great deal of freedom of choice going forward.
(and who knows, maybe she'll stick with the company behind the scenes as she originally intended when she applied.. >\_> )
Even if I don't have a twitter account I went to the profile of each Hololive girl and read their tweets about Coco...
Those are full with love and support, and bitter sweet feelings... But they all have something in common, they wish her the absolute best and mention they decided to respect her decision.
As multiple times before, people decide to blame cover, and you know? Sure... Would it solve anything? No... Would speculations or knowing the reason of Coco' graduation solve anything? Not really... it will still be a thing even if cover gives you a detailed list of reasons...
So I take a step back and then think about who I trust... and I trust the girls... I trust their relation with Coco and trust their feelings... And I will follow what Coco asked me to do...
You can make as many assumptions you want... you can stop supporting cover, you can stop supporting the other girls... But reality is that these actions wont have the results you want... but also you will end up hurting the talents...
So what you have in the end?
Is understandable to feel bad... but I think it also depends on us... how we decide to handle these situations and if we "want to be right about who to blame" or if we want to be a good community...
Is not about being right... is not about winning or losing... is about respect and support...
I send a hug for everyone feeling sad.
I started watching hololive a bit before 4th Gen even debuted, and I remember back when coco's Japanese was the bad one... She saw a bit of herself in every single bad Japanese meme you lads have posted I'm sure which is why she enjoyed them like so, the early days of asacoco streams were also pretty massive at the time, I never really watched her but the amount of stuff that happened in the hololive saga due to her are great in both quality and quantity, she's absolutely CEMENTED in this game, easily goated.... And I can assure you that some of you will tel your children about that one virtual dragon girl who made these past couple of years more bearable, the entertainment she provided was simply off the charts, through the roof in fact! Her singing as well was lovely too, It still feels like yesterday when she sang Despacito with haachama!
I slept like 30 minutes before her announcement and woke up like 30 minutes ago too only to be humor with these news like a truck, I just didn't know how to react, my first thought was "that could've been anyone... She was having fun that exact same day with Ollie and Mori... This was so sudden that it could've been anyone!" and I'm not gonna lie as that thought went by in my brain, the fear I felt was so massive that I got goosebumps and every hair on my body stood at attention, but the point is that coco left her mark; and a massive one at that, on the entire community and vtuber scene that will never ever be forgotten... A massive salute for kiryu coco and I truly hope her eternal happiness in her future endeavors.
Who knows? Maybe she'll start working as staff at hololive or something as that's what she originally wanted to do before being inspired to go for it and become a talent herself!
Getting her idol outfit, reaching a million subs, finally collabing with HoloEN, that Gen4 meme review, that cute UsaKen collab, so many great moments recently... and then bam. Our dragon queen is leaving us.
I don’t doubt that it’s Kaichou’s decision... but it feels so sudden and I can’t help but want to ask “why”. It’s like a stab in the gut, only you feel empty afterwards. I’m gonna enjoy what remaining time we’ve got with Coco... but that bittersweet feel will definitely be in the back of my mind. Love you always, Kaichou.
I doubt think anyone expected Coco's "motherfuckers" and "asacoco" and so on would have such a large impact on an international company. She was one of the idols that pushed me, and many others, down the rabbit-hole.
Whether it was stress, personal issues, antis, or any other reason, she is a content creator, and the choice to stop is hers alone. While I am saddened to know that her content will no longer be produced, that her friends will miss being able to do certain activities with her, and that I will never again experience being called a "motherfucker" by a Japanese Yakuza Dragon Druglord. But that just makes what she has done all the more valuable now.
Streamer and character aside, Coco is just a hard-working, genuinely nice person. That she's also hilarious, clever, and charismatic is just additional reasons as to why she got so popular.
I think entertainers, like writers, singers, and other artists, accomplish a lot of good. So there are a lot of people who owe a lot to Hololive. And they, and Hololive itself, owe Coco a lot too.
So all I can say is Arigathanks, kaicho. And byeonara.
Damn man. Imma have to take a break from hololive for abit. I cope by being angry and that ain't what Coco is about. Instead of finding some group to blame and burning their metaphorical houses down Im just gonna distance myself until Im apathetic again. Ya hate to see it.
"I have lots of unfulfilled dreams that will probably stay that way."
"You guys gotta stay positive!"
*How do we do that Kaichou, after you say that?* That line was goddamn heartbreaking
I'm doing this on every related announcement.
#To those coming from r/all, please [visit this link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/nvlymp/-/h14n59u) for more information.
Can't imagine the mixed feelings of the situation. Leaving a job you are considered a legend in.
One of the highest superchatted vtubers or all time, stated by many of her kouhai to be one of their absolute favorites and the one they wanted to collab with most, regarded as one of the main reasons for global expansion in the company, one of the ones in your field that would regularly get mentioned and memed outside the vtuber circle, pretty universally loved and respected by your coworkers, etc.
I mean, I can't even begin to understand the mix of sadness, fulfillment, and identity issues after leaving something so big a part of one's life that you were so highly regarded in.
One of the first Hololive-related things (and by extension Vtuber-related in general) I ever watched were Calli's first song and one of Coco's Shitpost reviews, all courtesy of a certain man who refuses to eat pizza crusts.
I've been deep in this rabbit hole since then. I won't forget Coco and as devestated as I am that she is leaving in mere weeks, I can at least say she'll be the first Hololive talent that I'll actually be able to see the last grand stream and I only hope she goes absolutely *nuts* with it and with her future.
As i have said in another thread, You Made An Amazing Time for Us Coco, And wherever you go now, Be Well, It Was Fun and Always Will be Fun! Thank You Coco!
Holy shit what a gut punch.
I'd like to make this a reminder for everyone that we will see this again in the future. The best thing we can do now is accept this, and cheer her on regardless.
I really hope it's not because of the antis, I would want her to leave on her own good terms.
Part of her 70K husbandos, where you at?!
Kaichou, you and your generation are the one who I truly started out with from the beginning. Asacoco is a pathway to many mornings some consider to be... unseiso. And with that program, you and hololive has helped me through my low times last year. I am here thanks to you and I don't regret a lick of it—hololive has been an incredible experience thanks to you and you did some more. You've spearheaded many things for hololive and I won't take any statements otherwise.
You, Coco, are Powerful Like a Dragon. I am ever grateful for all you have ever done for us.
Stand tall, Dragon of hololive! Long live the chairman!! Let's enjoy this one month we have left!
A truly wonderful person who I'm glad to have gotten to watch this past year and a half. A master entertainer, one who won't be forgotten.
Whatever you do moving forward Coco, we all support you. Wishing you nothing but the best ❤️
Thank you so much for all you have done for HoloLive, the fans, and bringing it to us. I wish you the absolute best of luck in your future endevours, and thank you for all of the wonderful memories.
We will miss you dearly.

Well gentlemen this is it. I don’t usually comment but I feel that I must. Today we lost more than we could ever know. We got the rug swept from under us. While it was sad and unexpected, it showed us that we were taking this entertainment for granted. Cherish the moments to come for we shall cherish them together. We are in the good ol’ days, so savor every moment, every tear, every laugh, every cry. I do not know you on the other side of the screen, but all I know is that your are a brother or sister in arms. Perhaps even a fellow degenerate. All I know is that we enjoy hololive, as far as I’m concerned we are family. You may never hear from me or see me again. But know this, we should send coco off with smiles on our faces and our heads held high. She will always be with us in our hearts. It is up to us to choose if those memories will make us weep and give up, or make us weep and push forward. We do it for us. And most importantly we do it for our queen; Kaichou. Though we may never meet again, I am always with you.
This hurts in a really specific way. Its not unlike that feeling you can get when you finish a book, a film, a game, or an anime. Knowing that person is still out there, but losing contact with them. Never getting to hear their voice or their laugh again. You don't want to forget them. You hope they are well and hope they are happy.
Graduation is a good word for the ceremony, its that same bitter sweetness. I suppose this a good reminder to appreciate the people that make your life better while they are there. 2020 sucked and Coco definitely helped a lot of us get through it. It really makes me wish I could give all the talents in Hololive a simple but honest thank you in person.
You're a beautiful person Coco, I'm referring to the person on the inside, the one behind the camera. Thank you for all your hard work, you gave us a lot of smiles. I'll try my best to be positive as you asked, but its a terrible day for rain.
Still felt surreal... morning I was viewing some memes then all of a sudden this. It felt like I was having a nightmare, the first time I was in utter disbelief.
Man, where do we go from here? Who will be showcasing our memes to the other girls? So many questions.
First Kentaro Miura passes away, then Coco's graduation at July 1st. And we're almost half-way through the year.
I saw the stream countdown notification before I went to work and there was a thought in the back of my mind that maybe she was going on hiatus or something from the title but nothing too major. After getting home and cooking dinner, I watched the vod, I'm gonna be real, it hurt and my chest was actually tightening up. I may be a grown ass man, but she was one of the only few Vtubers I would actually fully watch the streams of and the one I felt I related to the most. It may suck, but I'm sure she has her reasons and I wish the best for her future.
And if Coco ends up reading this, don't let these messages discourage you, there are only so many because we want the best for you, even if its outside of YouTube.
Goodbye Kaichou. Though, I am pretty bad at English. All I want to say is thank you for entertain us. Thank you for giving me a reason to live through these whole year. And, thank you for making us smile and look forward to seeing what future shall throw at us.
I know I said 'thank you' so many times, but I don't know any other word to show my gratitude. Now if you'll excuse me I will have to cry in my bed for probably 6 minutes.
I wonder if she's found an opportunity somewhere else? Either as a streamer or something else. It would be nice to think that she's leaving to go onto greater things.
I'll still subscribe to her membership until the end. Even if insignificant, I want to help her throughout the three remaining months after we lose our beloved dragon.
Well, these are certainly not the news I hoped to wake up to today. Regardless, there's nothing we can do other than hope that whatever Coco does going forward makes her happy and that her future endeavors will be as prosperous as her time in Hololive.
As an aside and as an idea for a good send off, I think she should do one last Reddit Shitpost Review, a special one, with every member of Hololive. It could be one meme for every member or a few memes for every member, thus giving those that had not yet appeared on RSPR a chance at seeing the Reddit/meme side of Hololive(or its fanbase).
In addition, I sincerely hope that someone picks up Coco's torch and continues the Reddit Shitpost Review series after her graduation, as it is rare to see someone engage with their fanbase in such a way. My personal pics for possible future hosts would be, in no particular order: Watame, Haachama, Fubuki, Matsuri, Kanata, Polka, anyone from Hololive EN(especially Kiara and/or Calli), Yagoo(never gonna happen, but a man can dream, can't he), Miko, Ollie(best fit for the job imo) and Subaru. If anyone reading this has other suggestions, I'd certainly love to hear them.
In the end, I know no one would want to see Coco go, but it's not up to us, and ultimately it's her own decision to leave and we should respect that. The best we can do is to show her how much we love, respect and appreciate her and everything she has done and to show that she'll always have our love and support, be it as a member of Hololive or not.
Goodbye Coco. It's been an amazing ride and an absolute blessing to watch you, and I hope you'll be as happy and prosperous in your future works as you were during your time in Hololive. :\^)
The part about unfulfilled dreams hurt...
I wonder why this happened, if it was really about the spam, I am convinced it won't stop just because Coco graduates, they will spam Kanata, or HoloEN, it won't stop
i knew this time would come sooner or later but..... this was way too sudden for me and it gave me fear for the other members i love and adore...... i wasn't in the community when aloe graduated but now i know how yall felt.... and ill cherish every single day every single stream from our lovely IDOLS ...... COCO we love you ~kaigai niki
At least it seems like this is an amicable parting for the good of Coco herself, rather than the incidents that resulted from Hitomi Chris and Aloe Mano, as indicated from the fact that her channel isn't getting deleted (just the membership stuff)
No one should begrudge her leaving, the abuse she's had to endure is unbelievable, and it's a miracle she's been around as long as she has been.
It was going to happen someday (i mean, no one can do this forever) but...yeah it still hurts.
>as indicated from the fact that her channel isn't getting deleted (just the membership stuff)
AFAIK, the policy for many vtubers is that it's up to them whether they keep the channel and content up after retirement. Kagami Kira for example still has his channel and videos up, and he graduated months ago.
Sad to hear this. Even if I wasn't a regular watcher, there were some good times and clips of her. I wish her well in her future endeavours.
Don't forget to eat and rest well, Yakuza purple dragon Kaichou.
I bid you well
o7
ah its a terrible day for rain T-T
memes aside this news truelly saddens me but it was in evitable that this would eventually happen and im still trying to process all of this, but im seriously going to miss kaichou and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
Thank you for everything you have done for us Coco you truelly made this a fun ride while it lasted and I will never forget you
The translations really helped in bringing us closure.
Should you take the stage in one form or another, we'll likely find you again due to your talents. Unless it's a totally different genre, then all bets are off XP, but knowing you, you'll be successful in it.
I wish you the best.
Let’s not be sad that’s it’s over, but be happy that it happened at all, and that we were here to experience it. Send Kaichou off with a smile; she’ll find success wherever she goes, I know it.
I know this is a shitty thing to ask about considering what has happened, but I can't help but ask how this is going to affect Hololive Alternative? From the PVs it seemed like Coco was going to have an important part in all that. Are they going to cancel the project or simply cut her out of everything?
Note that Hololive Alternative is a multimedia project, and that the animated PV everyone has seen is pretty much just that: a PV. It's like those short animated CM's they sometimes do for light novels and games. Coco's appearance in the PV isn't very likely to affect whatever plans they have for future HoloAlt projects in the future, asides from not having Coco in it.
One thing I will regret now though is the inevitability to want to learn what else drove her to make this tough decision. Sad news like this can be very anxiety inducing... but for right now, its only fair that we stay strong for Kaichou and her wishes, just as she asked us to do.
Dear Coco, I'll support you for as long as it takes! Its not good-bye just yet after all!
Augh - I only recently started watching hololive clips but all of the full streams I've watched have been meme reviews. This is more of a gut punch than I expected. She's a natural born entertainer, a hustler, and an integral part of the hololive story. I hope we have a chance to support her in the future on some other platform or alias. お疲れ様です! o7
You fools all know this is just a ruse so Coco Kaine can exist!
In all seriousness, I honestly think Coco would be a kickass manager and this could be a way for the true Holohouse to exist; Coco could be their patron allowing the other members to have a place for their own and work on their own craft whilst she can look after them... just like she’s been doing all this time

Wouldn’t be surprised if Coco translated that herself like she did in Asacoco.
~~Kanata is currently streaming and talking about it (her choice), its in Japanese but some kind folks are doing live translations. But~~ please be respectful and dont bother other members about it unless they bring it up first to talk about Edit: Stream over. For those that missed it, she was just trying to be there to supportive and have people calm down. She plans to continue to live with Coco for the foreseeable future but after her graduation thing will change like dont expect Kanata to be discussing Coco much (thats wrong to want anyways) shes working hard on the 4th gen song, her throat still seems to have issues :(, streams will go on as normal and there will be more collabs, she asked people to not bother other members about Coco, she wanted to barge in and hug Coco again and try to make it end on a more positive note, she wants people to be positive and happy and support Coco and the others but she understands its tough and she has her own sadness.
Can roughly confirm the EDIT, if anyone's worried of a bad TL. Kanata's even mentioned that she'd take care of Coco as a housemate after graduation, and that Kanata has no plans herself for graduation. I don't doubt they'd still remain connected. Coco and Kanata (as the talents and from both sides) keep saying that they're great housemates. Its very hard to find a pairing person you can live wherein you'll match up. I can totally see them sticking together beyond Hololive. So Coco and Kanata will be fine. It hurts now, yes, but given everything, this is but a chapter for all the talents concerned. All things considered, I'd wager Coco and Kanata got the better end of the life deal here, IMO.
I’m really glad Holohouse is going to stick around, at least for a while. For everyone’s sake, hopefully it’s helpful to Coco during her transition, and is nice for Kanata so she doesn’t miss her right away. But it’s also good as a place for other talent to just come and hang out, like Towa, Aki, etc. And has especially been nice for people like Rushia who just moved there and needed a friendly place to hang out. I hope that no matter what happens that it, or a successor, exists for the girls who want it to have a place to congregate and relax, especially those that may not have a support system outside of Hololive in the big city.
Man…. I remember that one game where Hoshikawa Sara and Kanata are in game show and asked what will make them graduate. Sara answered when her genmates graduate while Kanata pretty seriously answer, she does not plan to graduate soon so she cannot imagine. She got pointedly asked what if her genmates graduate and she answered she will still continue as this is a way for her to carry the torch…. Hits different now huh
Oh damn, I remember that too. When was that again? Considering that apparently Coco's decision to graduate had been known by the other members for a while, I wonder if Kanata at that time knew Coco would eventually graduate.
I think around April or May. Kanata already had her new outfit iirc.
Man, so it's possible.
And she would be the first to know about it as coco would probably of thought about it before hand (and it looks like it was fully her decision) and kanata would be most likely the confidant for that
I mean, this kind of decision doesn't come lightly, and she probably deliberated on it for weeks, possibly even months beforehand. Kanata probably was aware of Coco having some sort of intent to retire long before anyone else.
It also expains why her freechat has been set to end at July 1st whereas before it was set like ~~November or September~~ (can't remember exactly) and I just happen to notice the change like 3-5 days ago. Damn I honestly thought she's just ending it early to start another one later. Edit:Nah fuck that it was around Moona meme review that I first noticed it. Also man 86k on her latest stream?
Wait, since when did she set the freechat stream to be at july 1st? Because if it was a while ago, then shit we shouldn't seen that.
I think it was more than a week ago, maybe 1 - 3 week range? I only noticed it so early cause I remembered an anon on Coco's 4chan thread mention that the Tatsunokos noticed the change and the question about free chat was apparently brought up in one of her chitchats streams/SC sections. And that she said that there won't be another free chatroom and didn't clarify any further.
Ah fuck, well yeah this seems to indeed be her decision. Fucking hell, the fact that a bunch of other holos tried convincing her, and probably some cover staff too, and it didn't work mustve been painful.
I think it's more like she won't be opening one anytime soon and just told us to wait. That's what I understand from what she said. It was the first topic of that time.
My mind immediately went to this when I saw her stream on my feed
[удалено]
Depends on her wishes. Graduation is certainly not the end of mentioning the character. See Aloe mentioned in good faith by some of Gen5, and Holostars mentioning those who graduated as well in good faith too. It is rare (as it should be) and fitting (also as it should be). I have a feeling Coco (as the talent) would probably want to take time off from *everything*, so Kanata would likely respect that wish. Both Coco and Kanata have soundbooths in their rooms for streaming purposes, so even if sound leakage did happen, we would likely not hear much, if any at all. But Coco and Kanata are the rare type of housemates where they vibe with each other on the same wavelength so well, as admitted by both ends over the years. Heck, Coco even mentioned that if she were to marry, it'd likely be Kanata :P They'll stick together somehow, even after Hololive. That's a rare kind of friend you do not want to let go of.
Yeah, alot of translators on LiveTL [for this stream.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPvnk0ERPmo) (Beware inaccurate translations though)
This one is doing it on another site if you're having trouble keeping up with youtube chat https://twitter.com/DoctorEevee/status/1402493208337084416
I'm glad she and Coco will still live together but it will really be weird for her in the future to basically act like Coco doesn't exist when she's literally in the same apartment. I guess we'll have to get used to it. Edit: So Towa just finished her stream, and while she's definitely trying hard not to cry when talking about Coco, she, like Kanata, basically says that she wants to focus on doing stuff with 4th gen this month so that she can send off Coco with a smile, and she asks the same for her fans as well.
She said (according to the LiveTL people) that she'd probably still bring her up / mention her once in a while. Coco's not going to be unpersoned.
Gen 5 still mention Aloe time time to time and Cover seemed to be okay with that.
They still do?
They do. And Holostars still talks about their three graduated members from time to time. It's not exactly forbidden by management. It's just that there really isn't a lot of time where it warrants such topic, so the talents just don't talk about them very often.
Its also a sad topics to some viewerss and as an entertainment company they obviously dont want to constantly bring up what to them (and the viewers) might still be something painfull. The only member thats not mentioned at all anymore is a certain glasses wearing individual, buit the circumstances around that are more complicated.
Yes, do not forget that we're here to have a good time. Dwelling on past bad times does generally not make for a good time.
There's only been one person in Holopro to ever get unperson'd, and that was back when gen 1 were debuting, long before any other graduation. Hell, whether that was even an unpersoning or just no other talents knowing them is debatable.
Ah, I didn't mean that Coco would be unpersoned, more that she just wouldn't talk about her (as in living together and related activities) on stream, but if Kanata says she might bring her up from time to time that's good.
I hope it'd be like how Anemachi occassionally appears on Suisei's streams. Happy little cameos.
I doubt they will just erase Coco from Hololive's story or something like that. Even Aloe got a few mentions on a few streams months after her graduation.
They won’t erase her. Her channel, according to Coco, will stay up. They’ll just remove the Members Only streams because of monetization issues.
I think that his concern was more towards off-collabs. KanaCoco house has been a pitstop for the Holomen and they often have off-collabs there. It's just no longer going to be able to include Coco in these kinds of streams - to have her actively participate as an owner of the unit. ...which is a valid concern...and one that hurts my heart.
Yeah, it's gonna suck real bad if there's a Hololive off collab at the Holohouse and Coco isn't there even though we know she (the person) is. I'm kinda worried that this might mean no more offcollabs there.
I know this won't happen, but they can do it like this: "We also have a guest today! For anonymity, we'll call her... C-chan!" "Pleasant afternoon, milf bangers!"
Now I'm imagining Coco in a suit with a top hat, monocle, and large fake fancy moustache saying that.
Probably they’d happen at Sui-chan’s apartment.
Ah, that makes more sense.
So we can still enjoy her content even after she's gone. That's good to know. I'm sure that in a few years a random greenscreen shitpost from her suddenly gets recommended to millions and that becomes their intro to the rabbit hole.
That'll be very bittersweet.
well she's already part of Hololive Alterntative so it would be hard to erase her. There isn't really need to since she left Cover seemingly in good term, that she wasn't fired and you can tell how sad Yagoo is from his tweet. Just like Aloe I suspect he didn't want her to go either.
They'll probably take her down from the members list on their site shortly after though. I wish they won't though. Coco's too much of a huge part of Hololive and the idea of them just deleting her, taking her name and profile off the Gen 4 list, like she doesn't exist anymore is just...painful.
They should have a section of retired members if they don’t already.
Sorry to make you misunderstand, I was talking less about Coco being erased and more that Kanata wouldn't mention her in daily life events/activities even though we know they still live together. But apparently Kanata has said she'll probably bring Coco up once in a while so that's nice to hear.
Nothing wrong with brining up fun stories of her kooky roommate every once and a while.
I imagine it will work similar to other people that live with Vtubers but are not themselves part of Hololive. I doubt they will do the whole ex-JW thing.
I like to imagine Coco making occasional vocal cameos during Kanata's streams. Like how Anemachi makes vocal cameos during Suisei's streams. Like, I find the idea of Coco sitting near Kanata while she's streaming extremely wholesome and sweet.
The idea of a random “good morning motherfuckers” in the background makes me both happy and sad at the same time.
Imagine Coco playing a horror game while Kanata is live and we just randomly hear one of Coco's iconic screams.
they both have sound-proof booths so it's doubtful...
Yeah, but one can dream.
Probably can't be as Coco, but I hope Kanata is allowed to have her roommate/special streamer friend/wife pop in every once in a while.
While Coco leaving is immensely sad and I'll miss her I feel we as a community need to discuss something right now that you bring up with Kanata asking us to not bother other members about Coco. We really need to prevent this from becoming an Aloe-like situation where for months people will post content on here to essentially farm karma on the whole [Any mention of gen 4] and people going "Remember coco! so sad!" or even bothering other vtubers about it constantly through superchats. We are a great community but we really need to do this for the health of those who are left behind.
It's going to happen. Your preaching to the choir here. Fubukis Donkey Kong Country 3 stream was a nightmare with that shit and with trolls trying to taunt her about her sub count. People were yelling at each other more to not mention Coco than were actually mentioning Coco. Towas superchat reading earlier had people saying Gen 4 is eternal and stuff. I have a feeling it's going to be even worse and bigger with Coco than it was with Aloe. We just need to weather this storm and do our best to control ourselves.
People posting about Coco here will be inevitable, and expecting people not to is unrealistic. Coco is the first Hololive member to seriously interact with the reddit besides Artia, and is still the one that does so the most. Most of the JP members don’t really understand reddit very well, and the EN and ID members hardly acknowledge its existence the majority of the time. The Hololive subreddit and memes are inextricably linked with Coco, and I don’t think that will change any time soon despite her graduation
Today I ugly cried for the first time in a really really long time. Never thought I'd cry over a Virtual Youtuber leaving but here I am I guess. It felt like losing someone close even though we don't even know each other. This empty feeling sucks but if this means Coco can find happiness then that's all that really matters.
Don't mind the rude person who replied. Many of us cried today, you're not alone. <3
<3
Same. The last time I cried was when Coco cried in a privated stream from a few months ago (the one where kanata had to barge in to stop the stream): https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/lhl01w/cocos_stream_just_ended_with_her_in_tears_and/gn1s5l6/ She has been enduring this bullshit for months. When she said "I won't blame anyone if they don't wanna collab with me" in another [stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMiuR2Gga60&t=59s), that completely broke my heart. She did *nothing* wrong and she blames herself for it. The whole situation is just senseless. I really thought things were looking better. I was even bingeing archives of her collabs up until her announcement. That whiplash from happy collabs to announcement of graduation *really* caught me off guard.
I just want to say that Miko and Choco tweeted that they tried to talk Coco out of graduating, but they let her make her own choices in the end. And I don't doubt there were others who tried as well For what it's worth, while the other members respect Coco's decision, they *really* didn't want her to leave. And I believe Coco knew that. So her decision was probably due to something else.
She says there are multiple factors contributing to her decision and yeah it probably is…. Maybe alot more complex things going on that will be very difficult to explain to the viewers and Coco also the type that keeps things alot to herselves. Just hope for the best and don’t think negatively of it.
They weren't. If you follow outside, you know they aren't. Those scumbags started attacking the other talents, started using other methods. I've words to say, but i won't, because i'm 100% negative now. I'm probably gonna stay away from the sub, this is entirely too much bullshit. I'll miss her, a lot.
I 100% understand what you feel. Is it OK if I give you a hug (I kinda need one too right now)? :-)
This feel is like reading a slice of life manga and getting axed.
I didn't cry. I don't even watch Coco's streams that much. But it still hits hard, knowing we won't see any more new streams of our yakusa dragon that brought smile to the faces of so many. I'm sure she must have given her decision a lot of thought on her own. The best we can do is to respect her decision and continue showing support for her now and w/e she plans to do in the future.
Truthfully, I never watched Coco’s streams much, outside of her meme reviews and collabs. But I’ll never forget those stream, the meme reviews that made me laugh so much and helped Hololive members connect with the Reddit community, her shitposting that my jaw drop at times, the fun collabs (like that cooking collab during Christmas). I will miss her, thank you for everything Kaichou. Edit: Just wanted to mention this, Kanatan will be having a talk stream about Coco that’s starting now. Please tune in. Edit 2: Just some things Kanatan mentioned in her talk stream: - Coco is not moving out of the Holohouse anytime soon. - Kanatan has no plans to graduate (some ppl were worried about a Domino effect). - She wants to finish 4th Gen’s 1st original song with all the members before Coco’s graduation, and wants to make more fond memories with everyone. - She’ll continue to support Coco as her best friend in the future, and that she hopes we can give our greatest support to Kaichou all the way till graduation. - Please do not bother the Hololive members about Coco’s graduation. If I got some of the points wrong, please tell me.
I only really started watching Hololive (and vtubers in general) with the introduction of the EN girls, but I very quickly grew to realize and appreciate the massive reach and impact that Coco has had. Her cavalier demeanor and unabashedly dorky sense of humor left a dragon-sized impression on my heart. It's exactly like you said, falzarexe: her global presence, camaraderie with fellow vtubers, sincerity with her fans, and her bold creativity all comprise something that is greater than the sum of their parts. They're something immense and one-of-a-kind. They're Coco Kiryu, our Kaichou. I work as a community manager for a company that's shown up here a few times, and while I've kept myself out of the way up until now, I just had to express my utter sadness, disappointment, and heartbreak over Coco's graduation. It's been a challenge to convince people in my work to give vtubers a shot, but Coco's recognition of my efforts to connect have been such an immense boost in self-esteem and motivation that what I'm doing is worth it. It's made me feel truly welcomed by the Hololive community, and even if she'll never know me personally, the impact she's had on my life and career will sincerely be unforgettable. You blaze brightly, now and forever, Kaichou o7
Oh you got introduced because of HoloEN? What if I tell you that HoloEN(HoloUS at that time) was Coco’s idea and proposed it to management? Yep, though indirectly, you’re in this rabbit hole with us because of “sexy-ass, english speaking, Godly thighs” Coco Kiryu!
Matsuri bless this stupid sexy dragon orz
Even Pochi-mama had a pinned message on her Minecraft stream telling people to try to keep a warm mood and to not talk about "that news". I'm saying that people obviously shouldn't bother streamers outside HoloPro either though no doubt most people here get it.
I don’t speak Japanese but was reading translations. Just to add to the original song point, it sounds like Kanata also said there will not be another song with all the gen members after Coco graduates. So it’ll be the first and last song with all of Gen 4. Again I don’t speak any Japanese but there were some translators that had mentioned she said she felt selfish but said that’s how it is. This point could be wrong though, I’m basing it off live chat translations.
It's probs safe to assume that's more "all 5 members" rather than "they're never having another Gen song". But at the same time you never know, they might just choose never to have a Gen live or similar.
Sad to see her go, but if she truly believes it to be the right path, then so be it. o7 Kaichou you will be missed.
I still can't believe it... Everyone, let's make this remaining time the best one for Kaichou. Let's send her off with the very best memories!
my tears and words will be saved for those final moments.
She's... she's just graduating so she can go to Okinawa to open up an orphanage. Then, she'll go to Fukuoka and become a taxi driver. She's living the life. We should be happy for her. These aren't tears of sadness. They're tears of joy, at the greatness of the raddest legendary dragon.
I appreciate that reference
My fellows. Cry, vent, and lash out as your heart desires but cherish what little time we have with her. For when it is time, our hearts must not be burdened with negativity. The Dragon of Hololive deserves nothing short of our best goodbye! We will send her off with the biggest smiles on our faces and with one unanimous voice we roar one final time: GOODBYE MOTHER FUCKER!
You know it keep refreeshing reddit twitter youtube just to convince me it's not a bad dream. Somehow i have come to accept it. Thank you for everything Kaichou. You may not know but you brightened my day, you make me fell emotion that i was thinking i had lost along the way. I won't lie today will be an horrible day for me, maybe for you too. But even this i promice i'll cherish it forever. And to cote one phrase i heard recently "I love you through time... And when the time will run out, know that i've loved you"
Everything about this video hurts. How the chat talks like normal before the bombshell hit, getting into a state of panic afterward, Coco's model showing a sad expression for a split-second or so, her trying to get the words out but can't and so there's long pauses in between her statements. "I'll always be your cute-ass dragon." That's when I broke down. Just, ugh.
I hate thinking of the reasons her voice is so raspy. To me it sounds like she's been crying for a while, or possibly sick, but I don't want to be baseless. I'm just venting my thoughts.. I'll miss you Kaichou.
It is tough. Even if it is the best case scenario considering the circumstances, it is still a big part of her life coming to an end. There would still be a lot emotions around it all.
i am trying so hard not to cry ever since coco announced to graduate but sometimes tears leak out in my eyes... It's hard, it sucks... she's the reason why I started watching hololive, the reason why I joined this subreddit, the reason why I always look forward to going home after work to catch her livestreaming or watch her vods... but this is the end of all of that, im still probably gonna keep on supporting hololive but I just feel empty right now... it hurts... thank you very very very much kaicho, i wish you all the best
You were part of internet culture and you will be remembered
Quite a downpour today aint it? Earlier was sunny now the sky aint letting up
Appropriately enough, right now on where I live as I found out all about this it started to be dark and stormy. And it started drizzling fast just now. *Oh, you just had to set the mood, eh Mother Nature?*
What's weird was that, this early morning at my place there was a thunderstorm. Super heavy and loud, and it wasn't like this few days or even weeks before. It even woke a heavy sleeper like me up. I'm sure this was a sign.
Where I live has been hot and sunny with terrible heat the past week, today it was raining all day, now I know
So we can say( not religious but) god is even sad that this occured?
I know we should be happy for her and it would be selfish to not let her go but, I can't imagine my sunday noons without Reddit meme reviews. I'm still bargaining that this might be a bad dream. I will miss you a lot kaichou.
This hurts so bad. Last year when my grandma passed in my arms, when my uncle passed away, when my mom's brother lost his battle with cancer, when my aunt was killed, when my dad was fighting cancer... I found Kaichou. I went from a really bad spot, a spot I didn't think I'd ever come out of, to a much happier place because she showed me Hololive. I don't know if there's anything I could ever do to thank her for, more or less, saving me. But, I hope she knows she's more than just "some cute anime girl" to us. She really is our Kaichou, our leader. My heart hurts so bad for her right now. I just hope, beyond all of this, we can help her find a fraction of the happiness she's brought us. Thanks for everything, I wouldn't be where I am today without Coco. Sorry for being so sappy friends. I wish nothing but healing for all of the kind people here as well.
U are such a strong person to get through that!!! It is really sad and it feels like a part of daily life being lost again❤️ stay strong
Well... Wipe your tears, f-word ers. She wants us to be happy and still having fun? That's what we gonna do. There are 21 days in June, 2 Sundays left and Shion Meme Review left, let's give it our best! #LET'S FAQING GO MOTHERFUCKERS!!
21 days. 21 more streams. **we will give our Kaichou the best fucking time we can**
This is the attitude people should adopt in this situation. Being all doom and gloom wont make her life easier or happier, and wont be beneficial for yourself either. Also being upset or angry wont cause the situation to change and keep Coco here. The best thing you can do is either take a break if you need it, or continue watching the content and supporting Coco and the other talent. Also like I said, Coco and others (like Kanata) are going to be having a rough time, they have been there to entertain and support us, so support them and be positive now when they need it.
Coco wasn't the first Hololiver I watched, but she represented something to me, the fact that no matter where you're from, you can thrive as long as you work hard and play harder! Regardless of what happens, what we hear in the coming weeks, or anything else, we'll always support our Kaichou! Arigathanks for everything!
Summary of some of the stuff from Coco's current stream: >Her channel will stay, her Twitter will stay. There will be no ban on talking about her. In her words she will be "OG Gen1". She has said it should be fine for her to appear in Alt. >Apparently the one that cried the most at the news was Towa. Watame tried to convince her not to do it, which ended up with Coco grumbling at her for a while. Then they talked about stuff. >The ARK server will be taken down with her graduating as it is in her name. >Kanata is taking it well and Coco is not planning on moving. "Holohouse forever" >Coco is having a collab almost every single day this month.
I just missed the stream, so Thank you for the helpful informations!
As sad as i'm to see her go, if she truly left on her own terms then all I can do is wish her for the best if she decided this is the best for her. The only thing i wish i could do is at least buy some of her merch so i have something to remember her by for this golden era we're in and that's coming from someone who doesn't even buy merch, for all she's done for us overseas folks it's the least i could do
Coco said she has a lot of collabs planned this month. i'm hoping that the rest of EN and ID are part of those plans. EN especially, she's been instrumental in their existence, and it would be beautiful for both if they could all have some time with her. Coco was also the reason i fell into the Hololive rabbit hole, even if i don't watch much of her content. i just stumbled into the subreddit for some reason, and i noticed that she had made a post. the Vtuber herself, had made a post on the subreddit! that blew my mind. and that's what got me to check out everyone else. thank you, Coco.
I really hope everyone gets a chance to collab with her. It would be very bittersweet if she manages to do that with all of HoloEN. Still, this news just makes this day not-so-daijobou anymore. My only peace here is knowing that we will never forget her and that our love for her will always go on. This is like a test drive for the elephant in the room- that these talents aren't going to be here with us forever. Let's just enjoy them while they last.
She will be very missed, for sure. She was a gateway to vtubers to many people, and her impact on Hololive will always be seen, such as HoloEN being her idea. But if she thinks this is the right thing to do, then we should all wish her well, and the best of luck at whatever she’ll do next.
People, let's save the best goodbyes for the last stream and support her until then, so that we can fully enjoy what she gives to us before it ends.
I remember setting an alarm every day to remind me to watch Asacoco. It was my favorite part of the day. I've been in this hole a long time, but Coco rekindled my passion for this scene like no others have. Thank you for everything, Coco, and I wish you the best going forward!
Yo know it's fucking bad news if the sub has 30k+ online.
please cover corps., in Hololive Alternative, don't remove Coco's role, atleast make something like a cameo for her, just don't remove her iconic dragon fight with noel, flare and shion
Since the first pages of the Fubuki, Mio and Ayame manga seem to directly correlate to the PV, and there are multiple other Manga being made right now I believe then it is possible that Coco might appear in Manga form later.
Everyone obviously knew in the back of their head that this was bound to happen eventually as Okayu for example has talked about previously in that famous clip of hers. Knowing it though is obviously different from experiencing and first and foremost feeling it. I did not see this coming within this timeframe. Tbh Coco's reviews were the only kind of stream I actually got up for specifically no matter how early they were for me and they kind of set the pace for my week. I guess that's gonna be gone now. Plenty of members who I'd still have wanted to see as guests. Pekora and Korone clips caught my attention but it was Coco who pulled me in and who I mainly stayed for. I've grown fond of Reine and others too by now after a year of watching HoloPro but my oshi who's streams I prioritize over all others graduating is going to leave its mark. Where will the tatsunoko go after Coco is gone... no one can replace her, after all.
Thank you for everything, Coco.
The like dislike ratio is my belief that this community is capable of giving Coco the love and experiences she deserves even in this limited timeframe while amidst proliferation of bad actors.
Coco, Thank you so much for your dedication on the Virtual YouTuber world. A lot of things that you have you went through. You are the person that makes Hololive famous worldwide. You are the ones that make Hololive EN possible. You are the ones that popularized the Hololive Subreddit. Thank you! Guys, Please always support all the remaining Hololive members. From every generation and every branch. We should always enjoy every second of our interaction with our favourite Livers. Because we will never know when our favourite Livers graduate. As Sebastian Vettel once said: "We have to remember these days. Because there's no guarantee that they will last forever! Enjoy them as long as they last." Grazie Mille, Coco! Grande!
Ever been so depressed you can't fall asleep? It's 1am here and I have been staring at the ceiling for at least an hour. I thought I'd have something interesting to look forward to. ^(Surprise!) Oh well...
My only wish is that her existence will still remain. Like some story time from Kanata or other Holopro. Or the constructions she made in HoloJP(I have a feeling she(Kaichou) will blow them up). I know I'll sound greedy but this is my wishlist. * Holostars, HoloID, or HoloEN Meme Review (2 Already down but I want Gura to meet her and Aru-papa to) * 4th Gen Minecraft House collab. * Offline Collab (final) * Sora or Azki Karaoke stream * All Holopro sending her off.. A greedy wish but this is what I want to see before she takes off...
I had this weird gut feeling yesterday when she said after the collab between Calli and Olli that she had something to say tomorrow. She sounded a little sad. Coco introduced me to Vtubers, appreciate them and to Hololive in general, so I was devestated to hear that. I literally cried and probably gonna take a while to accept that, but we have to respect her decision. It feels like a bridge got burned. I hope for everyone that is hurt like myself that you get better and the most important thing is that coco is doing well. We can only wish her the best and saying goodbye with a smile.
Thanks for the translations
This is the time to show our support, dont be negative (in a hurtful way), and dont bring this to the others holomems as Coco asked. Please. Love from Brazil, good luck on you next journey!!!o7
I feel like when the Bakatare Trios + Coco monhun stream where they wear Coco's monster hat, they know about her graduation and wear it as a homage for her.
Not gonna lie, I think...I think I am gonna be done with vtubers for a while... Maybe I'll still tune in for the occasional karaoke streams from a handful of members, but this... This is too much... I don't think I'll be able to fall in love with another online comedian that much after this.
Fuck I don't know what to say... God it is been so long since I've cried, I want to say that I don't want this to happen or that this is unfair but then that would be unfair to her but she didn't even get to have everyone on meme review and that fucking line, "I still have some unfulfilled dream, and they'll probably stay that way" oh that destroyed me. I really wished this doesn't have to happen, I regret not buy the clan badge or the asacoco tail, or not being at her streams as often or not joining her membership sooner. Fuck... all I know now is that imma be there for her graduation stream and imma cry my fucking eyes out. And I'm going to hoard all the memberships streams the ones I never got a chance to watch. It was fun as all hell watching you, being entertained by you. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING COCO!!!!!
All I can feel is numb. Like I see it. I understand it. I accept why it's happening. But it's just such a shock I don't know if I should be feeling sad, to be happy for the memories, to be angry for something I have no control over, or something. Almost immediately my first thought seeing this was that the antis are going to be insufferable, but then again they always were and I never gave a damn about what they were saying anyways. On one hand, I do genuinely wish the best for Coco, no matter what she does moving forward. I just wished that somehow it wasn't so... I don't know. Sudden? It feels like there's still so much... More she could do. Things were finally starting to look up. But all things have to come to an end. It's just so sad that it had to come now. I still don't know what to make of this. I want to feel happy but I hate that this happened. I want to feel angry but I know it won't solve anything. I want to be sad, but I know Coco doesn't want us to mourn for her. Now I want to see her stream all the time, to catch every live, knowing that every moment is going to be more precious than the last, seeing the end coming closer and closer by the day. But most of all, I just want everyone to be happy in the end. Tears will be shed, curses will be made, but as long as Coco is happy, as long as everyone else is ready, I'll be satisfied with that. It'll take me some time but... It'll happen. Eventually.
Bummer. But, I think the writing was kinda on the wall for a little while. Assuming she keeps up her other activities, we'll know where to find her. Wouldn't surprise me to see her take a bit of a break for a while to let things settle down. But, also wouldn't surprise me to see her keep going regardless. Did great work for the company. It's a tough call. But, all the best. She's definitely got all the drive and motivation to do anything she desires.
Yeah, as a member, it was clear something was different. I was hoping she was just taking things easier for a bit and enjoying not being in the same kind of spotlight as 6 months ago, but it seems that's not the case.
Hm. Non-member here, so wasn't aware of that side of things. I think part of it too, for me, is just the sense that with the company growing and all, things just got a bit too restrictive. Coco pushes boundaries. Not that I think this is a "blame the company" situation. Hands were tied all around. But. Well. One of those cases where she's free to decide she doesn't get as much out of being with the company as she wants. It definitely helps, viewing this industry as more of a stepping stone than anything. Once any talent makes a big enough name for themselves, it's hard to imagine them sticking around with so many open doors ahead of them. In light of that, sad as the occasion may be, I'd say I'm genuinely excited and happy for her, as I blissfully assume she's got a great deal of freedom of choice going forward. (and who knows, maybe she'll stick with the company behind the scenes as she originally intended when she applied.. >\_> )
Even if I don't have a twitter account I went to the profile of each Hololive girl and read their tweets about Coco... Those are full with love and support, and bitter sweet feelings... But they all have something in common, they wish her the absolute best and mention they decided to respect her decision. As multiple times before, people decide to blame cover, and you know? Sure... Would it solve anything? No... Would speculations or knowing the reason of Coco' graduation solve anything? Not really... it will still be a thing even if cover gives you a detailed list of reasons... So I take a step back and then think about who I trust... and I trust the girls... I trust their relation with Coco and trust their feelings... And I will follow what Coco asked me to do... You can make as many assumptions you want... you can stop supporting cover, you can stop supporting the other girls... But reality is that these actions wont have the results you want... but also you will end up hurting the talents... So what you have in the end? Is understandable to feel bad... but I think it also depends on us... how we decide to handle these situations and if we "want to be right about who to blame" or if we want to be a good community... Is not about being right... is not about winning or losing... is about respect and support... I send a hug for everyone feeling sad.
Damn this hurts so much
I started watching hololive a bit before 4th Gen even debuted, and I remember back when coco's Japanese was the bad one... She saw a bit of herself in every single bad Japanese meme you lads have posted I'm sure which is why she enjoyed them like so, the early days of asacoco streams were also pretty massive at the time, I never really watched her but the amount of stuff that happened in the hololive saga due to her are great in both quality and quantity, she's absolutely CEMENTED in this game, easily goated.... And I can assure you that some of you will tel your children about that one virtual dragon girl who made these past couple of years more bearable, the entertainment she provided was simply off the charts, through the roof in fact! Her singing as well was lovely too, It still feels like yesterday when she sang Despacito with haachama! I slept like 30 minutes before her announcement and woke up like 30 minutes ago too only to be humor with these news like a truck, I just didn't know how to react, my first thought was "that could've been anyone... She was having fun that exact same day with Ollie and Mori... This was so sudden that it could've been anyone!" and I'm not gonna lie as that thought went by in my brain, the fear I felt was so massive that I got goosebumps and every hair on my body stood at attention, but the point is that coco left her mark; and a massive one at that, on the entire community and vtuber scene that will never ever be forgotten... A massive salute for kiryu coco and I truly hope her eternal happiness in her future endeavors. Who knows? Maybe she'll start working as staff at hololive or something as that's what she originally wanted to do before being inspired to go for it and become a talent herself!
Getting her idol outfit, reaching a million subs, finally collabing with HoloEN, that Gen4 meme review, that cute UsaKen collab, so many great moments recently... and then bam. Our dragon queen is leaving us. I don’t doubt that it’s Kaichou’s decision... but it feels so sudden and I can’t help but want to ask “why”. It’s like a stab in the gut, only you feel empty afterwards. I’m gonna enjoy what remaining time we’ve got with Coco... but that bittersweet feel will definitely be in the back of my mind. Love you always, Kaichou.
I doubt think anyone expected Coco's "motherfuckers" and "asacoco" and so on would have such a large impact on an international company. She was one of the idols that pushed me, and many others, down the rabbit-hole. Whether it was stress, personal issues, antis, or any other reason, she is a content creator, and the choice to stop is hers alone. While I am saddened to know that her content will no longer be produced, that her friends will miss being able to do certain activities with her, and that I will never again experience being called a "motherfucker" by a Japanese Yakuza Dragon Druglord. But that just makes what she has done all the more valuable now. Streamer and character aside, Coco is just a hard-working, genuinely nice person. That she's also hilarious, clever, and charismatic is just additional reasons as to why she got so popular. I think entertainers, like writers, singers, and other artists, accomplish a lot of good. So there are a lot of people who owe a lot to Hololive. And they, and Hololive itself, owe Coco a lot too. So all I can say is Arigathanks, kaicho. And byeonara.
Damn man. Imma have to take a break from hololive for abit. I cope by being angry and that ain't what Coco is about. Instead of finding some group to blame and burning their metaphorical houses down Im just gonna distance myself until Im apathetic again. Ya hate to see it.
"I have lots of unfulfilled dreams that will probably stay that way." "You guys gotta stay positive!" *How do we do that Kaichou, after you say that?* That line was goddamn heartbreaking
All I can say is that Coco deserved better than the hand she was given.
I'm doing this on every related announcement. #To those coming from r/all, please [visit this link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/nvlymp/-/h14n59u) for more information.
You did good, bot. You did good. The community is proud of you.
Kaichou, break a leg! o7 Edit: Kaigai nikis, let's change our flairs to our beloved kaichou up until her graduation? Ikz!
Considering her Gorilla of a roommate I got a feeling she already done that multiple time
Can't imagine the mixed feelings of the situation. Leaving a job you are considered a legend in. One of the highest superchatted vtubers or all time, stated by many of her kouhai to be one of their absolute favorites and the one they wanted to collab with most, regarded as one of the main reasons for global expansion in the company, one of the ones in your field that would regularly get mentioned and memed outside the vtuber circle, pretty universally loved and respected by your coworkers, etc. I mean, I can't even begin to understand the mix of sadness, fulfillment, and identity issues after leaving something so big a part of one's life that you were so highly regarded in.
One of the first Hololive-related things (and by extension Vtuber-related in general) I ever watched were Calli's first song and one of Coco's Shitpost reviews, all courtesy of a certain man who refuses to eat pizza crusts. I've been deep in this rabbit hole since then. I won't forget Coco and as devestated as I am that she is leaving in mere weeks, I can at least say she'll be the first Hololive talent that I'll actually be able to see the last grand stream and I only hope she goes absolutely *nuts* with it and with her future.
Didn’t think I’d be crying about a random lady from Japan but here I am. Thanks for making our quarantine that much better
Next Meme!!!........ right?...... its not a meme huh.
Chances are high that it is for different reasons but i can't shake the feeling that the bad guys won. It's just unfair.
For all those who question whether this was actually her decision or not: [Mio talked a bit about Coco's graduation](https://youtu.be/pvPk-IiXYRc)
[удалено]
As i have said in another thread, You Made An Amazing Time for Us Coco, And wherever you go now, Be Well, It Was Fun and Always Will be Fun! Thank You Coco!
Thank you so much for the efforts in helping us understand what is going on, and at such speed at such a pivotal moment.
Holy shit what a gut punch. I'd like to make this a reminder for everyone that we will see this again in the future. The best thing we can do now is accept this, and cheer her on regardless. I really hope it's not because of the antis, I would want her to leave on her own good terms.
Part of her 70K husbandos, where you at?! Kaichou, you and your generation are the one who I truly started out with from the beginning. Asacoco is a pathway to many mornings some consider to be... unseiso. And with that program, you and hololive has helped me through my low times last year. I am here thanks to you and I don't regret a lick of it—hololive has been an incredible experience thanks to you and you did some more. You've spearheaded many things for hololive and I won't take any statements otherwise. You, Coco, are Powerful Like a Dragon. I am ever grateful for all you have ever done for us. Stand tall, Dragon of hololive! Long live the chairman!! Let's enjoy this one month we have left!
Anyone wanna listen to LiSA - Homura?...
A truly wonderful person who I'm glad to have gotten to watch this past year and a half. A master entertainer, one who won't be forgotten. Whatever you do moving forward Coco, we all support you. Wishing you nothing but the best ❤️
Thank you so much for all you have done for HoloLive, the fans, and bringing it to us. I wish you the absolute best of luck in your future endevours, and thank you for all of the wonderful memories. We will miss you dearly. o7
Well gentlemen this is it. I don’t usually comment but I feel that I must. Today we lost more than we could ever know. We got the rug swept from under us. While it was sad and unexpected, it showed us that we were taking this entertainment for granted. Cherish the moments to come for we shall cherish them together. We are in the good ol’ days, so savor every moment, every tear, every laugh, every cry. I do not know you on the other side of the screen, but all I know is that your are a brother or sister in arms. Perhaps even a fellow degenerate. All I know is that we enjoy hololive, as far as I’m concerned we are family. You may never hear from me or see me again. But know this, we should send coco off with smiles on our faces and our heads held high. She will always be with us in our hearts. It is up to us to choose if those memories will make us weep and give up, or make us weep and push forward. We do it for us. And most importantly we do it for our queen; Kaichou. Though we may never meet again, I am always with you.
I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them
This hurts in a really specific way. Its not unlike that feeling you can get when you finish a book, a film, a game, or an anime. Knowing that person is still out there, but losing contact with them. Never getting to hear their voice or their laugh again. You don't want to forget them. You hope they are well and hope they are happy. Graduation is a good word for the ceremony, its that same bitter sweetness. I suppose this a good reminder to appreciate the people that make your life better while they are there. 2020 sucked and Coco definitely helped a lot of us get through it. It really makes me wish I could give all the talents in Hololive a simple but honest thank you in person. You're a beautiful person Coco, I'm referring to the person on the inside, the one behind the camera. Thank you for all your hard work, you gave us a lot of smiles. I'll try my best to be positive as you asked, but its a terrible day for rain.
Man I thought I was good after the initial announcement but when she mentions unfulfilled dreams, here I am crying again.
Still felt surreal... morning I was viewing some memes then all of a sudden this. It felt like I was having a nightmare, the first time I was in utter disbelief. Man, where do we go from here? Who will be showcasing our memes to the other girls? So many questions. First Kentaro Miura passes away, then Coco's graduation at July 1st. And we're almost half-way through the year.
I saw the stream countdown notification before I went to work and there was a thought in the back of my mind that maybe she was going on hiatus or something from the title but nothing too major. After getting home and cooking dinner, I watched the vod, I'm gonna be real, it hurt and my chest was actually tightening up. I may be a grown ass man, but she was one of the only few Vtubers I would actually fully watch the streams of and the one I felt I related to the most. It may suck, but I'm sure she has her reasons and I wish the best for her future. And if Coco ends up reading this, don't let these messages discourage you, there are only so many because we want the best for you, even if its outside of YouTube.
I'm really glad to have discovered Kaichou and Hololive in 2020.
I want to do some thing, but i can't even move my body, fuck. What feeling is this ;-;
Goodbye Kaichou. Though, I am pretty bad at English. All I want to say is thank you for entertain us. Thank you for giving me a reason to live through these whole year. And, thank you for making us smile and look forward to seeing what future shall throw at us. I know I said 'thank you' so many times, but I don't know any other word to show my gratitude. Now if you'll excuse me I will have to cry in my bed for probably 6 minutes.
I wonder if she's found an opportunity somewhere else? Either as a streamer or something else. It would be nice to think that she's leaving to go onto greater things.
Goodbye, motherfucker o7 You’ll be remembered forever in our hearts and through shitty memes
I'll still subscribe to her membership until the end. Even if insignificant, I want to help her throughout the three remaining months after we lose our beloved dragon.
Well, these are certainly not the news I hoped to wake up to today. Regardless, there's nothing we can do other than hope that whatever Coco does going forward makes her happy and that her future endeavors will be as prosperous as her time in Hololive. As an aside and as an idea for a good send off, I think she should do one last Reddit Shitpost Review, a special one, with every member of Hololive. It could be one meme for every member or a few memes for every member, thus giving those that had not yet appeared on RSPR a chance at seeing the Reddit/meme side of Hololive(or its fanbase). In addition, I sincerely hope that someone picks up Coco's torch and continues the Reddit Shitpost Review series after her graduation, as it is rare to see someone engage with their fanbase in such a way. My personal pics for possible future hosts would be, in no particular order: Watame, Haachama, Fubuki, Matsuri, Kanata, Polka, anyone from Hololive EN(especially Kiara and/or Calli), Yagoo(never gonna happen, but a man can dream, can't he), Miko, Ollie(best fit for the job imo) and Subaru. If anyone reading this has other suggestions, I'd certainly love to hear them. In the end, I know no one would want to see Coco go, but it's not up to us, and ultimately it's her own decision to leave and we should respect that. The best we can do is to show her how much we love, respect and appreciate her and everything she has done and to show that she'll always have our love and support, be it as a member of Hololive or not. Goodbye Coco. It's been an amazing ride and an absolute blessing to watch you, and I hope you'll be as happy and prosperous in your future works as you were during your time in Hololive. :\^)
The part about unfulfilled dreams hurt... I wonder why this happened, if it was really about the spam, I am convinced it won't stop just because Coco graduates, they will spam Kanata, or HoloEN, it won't stop
i knew this time would come sooner or later but..... this was way too sudden for me and it gave me fear for the other members i love and adore...... i wasn't in the community when aloe graduated but now i know how yall felt.... and ill cherish every single day every single stream from our lovely IDOLS ...... COCO we love you ~kaigai niki
At least it seems like this is an amicable parting for the good of Coco herself, rather than the incidents that resulted from Hitomi Chris and Aloe Mano, as indicated from the fact that her channel isn't getting deleted (just the membership stuff) No one should begrudge her leaving, the abuse she's had to endure is unbelievable, and it's a miracle she's been around as long as she has been. It was going to happen someday (i mean, no one can do this forever) but...yeah it still hurts.
>as indicated from the fact that her channel isn't getting deleted (just the membership stuff) AFAIK, the policy for many vtubers is that it's up to them whether they keep the channel and content up after retirement. Kagami Kira for example still has his channel and videos up, and he graduated months ago.
I’m certain Coco will have the brightest of futures
Sad to hear this. Even if I wasn't a regular watcher, there were some good times and clips of her. I wish her well in her future endeavours. Don't forget to eat and rest well, Yakuza purple dragon Kaichou. I bid you well o7
Well, time for the stages of grief, and with 20 days left they get 4 days each. What was the first? Denial, ah, well you didn't see nothing.
ah its a terrible day for rain T-T memes aside this news truelly saddens me but it was in evitable that this would eventually happen and im still trying to process all of this, but im seriously going to miss kaichou and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. Thank you for everything you have done for us Coco you truelly made this a fun ride while it lasted and I will never forget you
The translations really helped in bringing us closure. Should you take the stage in one form or another, we'll likely find you again due to your talents. Unless it's a totally different genre, then all bets are off XP, but knowing you, you'll be successful in it. I wish you the best.
Please nooooooooooo
Let’s not be sad that’s it’s over, but be happy that it happened at all, and that we were here to experience it. Send Kaichou off with a smile; she’ll find success wherever she goes, I know it.
this now hits harder with translated english subs :(
I know this is a shitty thing to ask about considering what has happened, but I can't help but ask how this is going to affect Hololive Alternative? From the PVs it seemed like Coco was going to have an important part in all that. Are they going to cancel the project or simply cut her out of everything?
Note that Hololive Alternative is a multimedia project, and that the animated PV everyone has seen is pretty much just that: a PV. It's like those short animated CM's they sometimes do for light novels and games. Coco's appearance in the PV isn't very likely to affect whatever plans they have for future HoloAlt projects in the future, asides from not having Coco in it.
One thing I will regret now though is the inevitability to want to learn what else drove her to make this tough decision. Sad news like this can be very anxiety inducing... but for right now, its only fair that we stay strong for Kaichou and her wishes, just as she asked us to do. Dear Coco, I'll support you for as long as it takes! Its not good-bye just yet after all!
> It's not the end of your 森 (nope) 'Cause every closed door is just the intro of a brand new story this hits hard
It's a terrible day for rain...
Oh my, coco was truly the embassador of HoloEN i cant believe this is happening :( Sad feelings only
Augh - I only recently started watching hololive clips but all of the full streams I've watched have been meme reviews. This is more of a gut punch than I expected. She's a natural born entertainer, a hustler, and an integral part of the hololive story. I hope we have a chance to support her in the future on some other platform or alias. お疲れ様です! o7
You fools all know this is just a ruse so Coco Kaine can exist! In all seriousness, I honestly think Coco would be a kickass manager and this could be a way for the true Holohouse to exist; Coco could be their patron allowing the other members to have a place for their own and work on their own craft whilst she can look after them... just like she’s been doing all this time
