for what it's worth, i also have mixed feelings on amekigoe. it was mostly the fact that her take was considerably less lifeless than other ones i checked (by the way, there was also another recent one i considered) that drove me to include it. on the other hand, it was also... the song just didn't seem to work with her, even with the emotion she put into it. the pitch change just doesn't seem to no matter who sings it, which is a shame.

speaking of comparing to other takes, i almost didn't include the Else one either. Unfortunately if you compare it to the original... it's not actually a very favourable comparison as it turns out, even though it's the least underwhelming cover i've heard from her in months

stratostella is also kind of just there yeah

this was the set i was least engaged with personally, which is why i didn't save it for later

NOW moving onto set 3

this one's an interesting set, and we finally get onto a portion of the main reason i decided to collect a bunch of recent songs

Hololive recently did a huge concert that they'd been working towards for months. They streamed it on niconico with an effectively $80 admission fee just to watch it on there... and i personally did indeed pay for it. And it was really good.

The Suisei song in this was in the lineup. Unfortunately, i was unable to find a video of the live performance of it, since evidently nobody actually archived any of that event besides some other song people cared way too much about. She technically had her 3D model debut at that concert with that song so it would've been really nice for it to have been clipped. Alas... Either way, it was a song i was honestly unaware of, so it was a bit of a surprise when i found out it was an original song of hers, on her channel from before she joined hololive.

also look out for the quality captions on the kotone cover, and kanata's and izuru's covers are definitely also highlights of the last few weeks as far as hololive goes, even though they weren't in the concert. Especially the izuru one. (also, kanata is a new hololive member). much like amekigoe I'm not really inherently big on the songs kotone and kanata covered, but these are probably the best covers to date of them period, which is pretty impressive really. Also, kotone was the other one who recently covered amekigoe, so i wanted to include at least one thing from her since i cut that. as for izuru... well, needless to say, his is automatically the best vtuber cover of the song he picked. i'd be amazed if there was another one.

lastly, I was very surprised to find out that this numbers song isn't commonly covered. And even more surprised though that this cover is actually good, since the person who did it wasn't anywhere near my radar, as far as noted virtual singers go. The group she's a part of didn't seem the type to have quality singers or the means to actually edit a song well to put it bluntly as the piano she's supposedly hitting people with 8,759,632,145 times

anyway that's enough premature opinions from me
