sorting/splitting them by the earlier tweet (honeystrap's mary is no longer participating)

i remember when everybody was doing pokemon tournaments

without them holostars mightn't have finally got momentum (the collab tourneys with hololive were the only streams that got any real views a year ago)

there was that nijisanji one that was frickin huge at the time (maybe the first one to be considered a "major" niji tourney in today's standards since it was like 70k viewers on the main stream), and the upd8 ones were pretty good too

Kano - Compass Song: Another song of hers in the high 60s point range. Might be her best song this topic, but I'd have to go back to listen to some of the others again.

well technically the hanayori group cover is the best one, assuming the 100 score still stands lol

also anyway, since you made it through all of that now congrats

here's some extra things i either forgot about or came out after my post that i wanted to include

Invisible Takashi - My Greatest Morning Routine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NxuRktyzew
katamari-esque chaos

Daidai Myao - Chiisana Shiawase (Little Happiness)

Laz (flute) & Shell (Piano/Celesta) - Snow White -hiver-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdrNlak_C0Y
wasn't really planning to start off with bgm and weird songs but i couldn't work out where else to put them

Daidai Myao - Do Cats Dream of Lo-Fi?

i honestly just forgot she had a non-cover release that recently
Isekai Joucho & Harusaruhi - World Calling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBscAdAL6JE
i'd also put a koko song here but i haven't really listened to much of her and don't like what i've heard that much so feel free to check yourself

by the way, kaf, rime, joucho, harusaruhi and koko are a unit now called the V.W.P. (virtual witch phenomenon). that was revealed in the kaf live from the other day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWqYgvOKWKs
i think i posted her once last year, but while she had a decent voice, the song itself wasn't very good. these are a little better than that one imo
(well, the last one might not be but i can't just not post a song as unexpected as that. tsukuri's just a minor member of a minor vtuber agency so i really don't have any idea how that collab happened)

Animare - Cantare!

Hekina Ail - Os-Uchuujin (Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl anime OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd_ivrvtAEI
ail's the alien idol gremlin of re:act. that anime's also known as denpa onna to seishun otoko, which makes it pretty appropriate since she's a denpa singer and an alien (uchuujin).

Raetsel_Lapin posted...

??? - Last Dance wa Motomenaide (?) I have no idea what this last video was, but I think I liked it. 62 points, maybe, I dunno.

i had a feeling i spaced this one a little too far out for this to be very obvious. So I mentioned beforehand that pretty much everyone in 774inc got 3D debuts late last year (that didn't have them already). Kanade Kanon, who was in 774inc's VApArt group, already had a 3D model... But her creepy heart-shaped partner mascot character guy that nobody likes, Hatsuko-san, didn't. So they made one as a joke, with an actual realistic body to make it even more creepy. And since that Ora Tokyo sa Iguda song was inexplicably being memed in their 3D debuts, he did it too. And then as a further joke, she decided to meme her own Last Dance wa Motomenaide/Don't Stop Dancing song by splicing in clips from his "performance" of that.

basically, it's cursed content

Raetsel_Lapin posted...

Im curious how popular the other members are if shes easily the least popular and bringing in those kinds of numbers. (I suppose the most likely explanation is this particular video going viral for some reason and not reflecting her typical popularity. It was just an awful lot of views.)

well, the others are people like kaf, or rime, who has a 25+ million view song now, and a few others, all sitting on larger subcounts and especially average views.

technically she's not the least popular member now though, since a new one joined a couple of months ago, but that'll probably change in a few more months

also i nominate this you're welcome

https://youtu.be/dydDAB2qwJM

oh nice top 10

i didn't expect to be above average at all

it's obviously the Nekomata Master+ genre

Pretty sad to learn now that Roppo Rikuru from the Floral vtuber group (a group linked to a doujin game circle called Neon Soft) is retiring now. a second member (Siyo) announced her retirement a few months ago and that's due to happen in a couple of weeks too...

I've been following the group since the original member (Itsutsu) cropped up on the big vtuber index site at https://virtual-youtuber.userlocal.jp and it's always been somewhat unusual. Back then, it stood out to me since the channel was just housing videos for a public crowdfunding campaign, which was unusual for the time (also itsutsu was just cute, so there was that too). Once it started, while the campaign was ultimately just a standard one to kickstart a small virtual talent agency with the aforementioned two other members, they had... certainly unique plans for it, as it was made to be connected to Neon Soft's main visual novel series. Itsutsu originated as a side character from one of the games, so they wanted to make the project a sort of tie-in project. They had this vn-style radio drama series basically that gradually went off the rails as it slowly eased in ad-lib parts, collabs with random indies and eventually even livestreams. And then they made solo channels for Rikuru and Siyo.

Sadly Rikuru, who focused on streaming tragically niche games like DQ11, Trials of Mana, Luigi's Mansion 3, Rime and others, despite maintaining an extremely stable near-daily upload schedule a lot of the time, never saw any real success anywhere. She was easily the best singer too. It's been nearly two years now, and about one and a half since activity started on her solo channel, but she still only gets (or got) around 10 viewers per stream.

Siyo blew the rest of the group out of the water as soon as she switched to doing asmr content about a year ago and never looked back. I'm talking over 10 times as many subs as the Rikuru and Itsutsu combined and anywhere between 20 and 100 times as many views generally. She also started becoming super obnoxious then, an absolute screamer type. How she maintained that success is a mystery (to be fair to her credit, she proved she was also a decent artist too), but her content reset likely didn't sit well with the other two. Itsutsu went on a long, near-half-year hiatus and Rikuru was basically the only one doing anything during that time (Siyo's too busy to manage even one stream per week generally, adding insult to injury on her constantly growing popularity compared to them). Her viewcounts didn't change. She managed to barely cross 1k subs and that's about it really for lifetime milestones. Well, she also started posting music briefly too just to prove that she could actually sing unlike the other two. That also went largely unnoticed.

Since Itsutsu came back, she claimed a pretty large following on Bilibili, just leaving Rikuru with a negligible fanbase. Even the group discord never talks about her outside of automated bot posts...

So really this is just a story of injustice. The worst part is that between her and siyo quitting, the floral group is through now. But perhaps it has been since a year ago even. It's been over 9 months since Siyo and Rikuru made any contact on twitter even. And almost even longer for Siyo and Itsutsu. Itsutsu's bilibili account used to be the group's account, so that's been a sign of bridges being burned for a long time too.

Anyway none of this is very important obviously. What is is that Rikuru was (at least tied) best floral. RIP floral. :(

lifecycle best tatsuya koyama song and game

ryan landry is just some random uploader right, not an actual arranger

i think there was a suguri arrangement from someone else on his channel iirc

also since i didn't bring it up ever last time at all, i have a bit of a soft rec to go over all of mitsuki neu/wotoha's songs and pay attention to the lyrics. it's kinda interesting imo since they're basically all about how she is effectively a symbol of corrupt otaku culture, while being a depressed, media-addicted NEET herself. it's something i didn't even realise had become her identity until recently, but it's been that way for years

what an experience

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBnSA-zKb0I

kaf concert live

also

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l07cDE1Exp0 toy's 1k sub endurance stream, take 2

oh yeah, it uh, kind of started early. Like 40 mins ago... but not really. They've just had interesting prestream stuff on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T3TnCZKV7E new kaf live, streaming fully on youtube for the first time since the first live back around a year and a half ago. starts in 6.5 hours, am very hyped

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T3TnCZKV7E by the way, here's a kaf live on later (about 6.5 hours away) in case you're interested. it's the first one since the first live back in 2019 that they're apparently streaming fully on youtube for free (they're charging for the vod on a separate platform though)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9vlyZLeoDQ lmao

come to think of it, if that one with the music video was the next best scoring one on the album, you might like the major songs she's done since

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34nCX5AEXWY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX8_xSOZfUc

you could say i snubbed these from the list earlier since i'd already posted a bunch of kano songs (that i liked a little bit more than these generally) but i don't consider these bad (also the latter's another one from hidekazu tanaka)

oh yes, also
Raetsel_Lapin posted...

And I suspect this may actually be AZKis best song, thinking somewhere in the 90 point range. (Probably early 90s, but still, there are not many songs I give scores that high to on a first impression). So of course that would be the song that was posted accidentally... well, whatever, it made it in anyway.

well that's still lower than some of the ones from last year but hey

in truth, the reason i skipped over it was because i hadn't actually gotten around to listening to it myself until i accidentally included it

Raetsel_Lapin posted...

Kano - Powerless God at The Stroke of Midnight: This feels familiar. I really should have been keeping an actual log of these extra songs somewhere because Im almost positive this song came up earlier... not seeing anything about it from earlier in this topic though. Either way, I like it. Probably a high 60s type of song.

yeah i forgot to mention it but it came up a year ago in last time's post-topic, since it was released before the album

in any case i'd completely forgotten this album hadn't actually come up yet (besides that)

also glad i seemingly picked the right song from the album, even if it was still relatively low scoring

oh yeah, by the way. the Hanayori vtuber group broke up last month

anyway here's a random trpg collab i felt like sharing

(sadly, she only got around 300 subs in that time)

i mean, probably not r1 because FIFA is still FIFA, but Sonic Generations could topple it

i was referring to portal vs trails

i'm not inclined to overestimate how much more popular trails is here now but it feels dangerous in that otherwise mostly poorly aged bracket

it is true ss would surely fall sooner but i think it's still good to make r4. i get a sense generations has faded a little too much now and everything else a lot more so

ZeroSignal620 posted...

If the same bracket was ran today, I couldn't guarantee Portal 2 would repeat

yeah honestly if it was now it might be in trouble r1

*also checks*

huh ok (ya go my lifecycle)

999 might've made round 3 or 4 nowadays so i'm oddly disappointed but also glad it didn't because i wouldn't have expected 3d dot game heroes to win a match

i'm surprised GoW3 made it safely to r4

i would be surprised FF13 and Kirby's Epic Yarn did too but that corner really was just weak

and poor sin and punishment (and sonic colors)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqRI7DXgOr8 a 1k sub endurance stream that doesn't seem to be going well so far

i don't like to shill stuff like this, but considering it's been 4 hours and is probably going to take another 12 otherwise (20ish subs down, 105 to go) it probably doesn't hurt

Raetsel_Lapin posted...

And I think Ill open today by skipping ahead to Amatsuka Seu.

Amatsuka Seu - Hikaku Shoukogun: More depressing than I was expecting, but not bad. 60-something points, probably.

about the same really
(it was because she was in that in that kyoani group medley thing, to my surprise)

by the way, the latest ruri song went up last night

also a new yumena cover

also uh, seu's cover was the one you skipped ahead to a few weeks ago lol

it's a shame rise of nations has never been popular

another moderate indie success

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx8D7ptGB_M

this particular ex-PLIVYou member (that group rushia's artist had that also had mimi in it) has been largely forgotten in the last year pretty much, but right now she's getting over twice as many viewers as she's ever had since debut over a year and a half ago pretty much

she's only ever broken 100 viewers like twice ever and this is pushing up near 250. the power of spanish+piano
plus she's gotten around 350 subs and counting and that's more than she's made in the last few months combined

i haven't watched her in a while but checking on her now i'm reminded that she used to be my favourite member of plivyou and she might still be now.
