It took a little bit of time for me to get my thoughts together.
hololive EN changed my life. I've been able to accomplish things that I never dreamed of. I've been given the opportunity to live my dream. But mostly importantly, hololive EN introduced me to some of the most incredible people I've ever met.
To me, hololive EN is family so it would be a lie to say that this merge doesn't affect me. Saying goodbye to hololive English was something I never thought I would have to do and yeah, it's goddamn hard.
I understand that a lot of people are anxious, upset and unsure. I think that is completely valid.
It's a big change for everyone - talent and viewer alike. But I would like to hope that we don't lose sight of what's most important: the love and community we've created over these last 6 years.
There's a lot to be upset about but for me, I choose to believe that things will be okay because honestly that's all I can do. I hope that this merger will bring about new changes that will empower ALL talents - JP, EN and ID. I hope that this is the right step in building a better tomorrow for existing talents and for new talents yet to come.
To me, nothing has changed except the name. In my heart, I will forever be a member of hololive English. I will continue working hard to be a bridge between JP, EN and ID because that is the talent that I've always strived to be.
To my community, I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported me in my hololive English journey and I can only hope that you will join us in this new chapter of hololive.
Thank you for being here with us!
I can't wait to see where we go from here ❤️
If you read this, I'd be happy if you read the whole thing.
Hololive English came into being just about 6 years ago...wow, how time flies.
We've done and accomplished so much together. There were a lot of mountains we climbed, back when there were just 5 of us. And then our numbers grew! We were 6, then 11...eventually 20 at one point. But the thing that never changed, was that we struggled together as a group and pushed through those times, together. There were so many hellos and goodbyes, and we shared all of them as one entity.
As the very first talent to ever debut from that group, it's an odd feeling saying a final goodbye to the name "Hololive English." And things will look different on the outside, for sure. They may even BE different, but I choose to view it in a positive way, as that is all I can do. In my heart, we are always Hololive English- the same English speaking group that came together to challenge the boundaries beyond Japan, to promote a space where creators like us could thrive!! I think we did a really great job of that. And not just HoloEN; our friends in HoloID as well are to be included in that sentiment.
But from here on out, now is the beginning of a new journey where we can push past the barriers of language and become even closer with our JP and ID friends as one whole "Hololive." Regardless of what words we speak. This is my greatest hope! The mission to spread Hololive globally does not end here at all. It continues, with great force, even!! I think we'll just do it in a more unified way. And I'd love to communicate even further with JP dead beats as well- so many new friends and faces, waiting to be met, even now!!
The main takeaway, however, is this: I will always look out for our international members, without exception. If we are to be joined by more someday, I will treat them as not only Hololive, but will look after them the same was as I have EN. Even if they are not called that. That's just how I'm doing things!!!
I will stay positive and continue to smile as I race to achieve my ultimate goals, with the same friends I've always stood beside!! Thank you, Hololive!! Thank you, dead beats!!
An exciting future together yet awaits, I just know it.
