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.

@0nslaughte I also speak English and don't understand Japanese, but that doesn't stop me from getting any enjoyment out of watching any streams/clips of the JP or ID talents, not to mention the music. Subtitles exist.
Thank you everyone for tuning into hololive Next!
I think there's a lot I am feeling and even more I want to say so I'll do my best to say what I can...!
When I debuted in hololive EN 6 years ago, I never knew we would grow this much!!
I've met amazing, talented friends, and welcomed so many more new members along the way!
I can't forget to mention our amazing fans who gathered from all over the world, who endured all the hardships with us to show us what it meant to connect, persevere, and celebrate what we love!
We've achieved so much together as EN - the talents, the staff, the fans - and nothing is ever going to change that.
Our official label might be changing, but I think what made us "EN" wasn't just the label, but the members, the fans, and the community that we built over the years!
With EN, JP, and ID all under "hololive", I hope we can work more closely together and more efficiently to be able to reach our goals and vision!
To me personally, what's important isn't the fact that things are changing, but the results afterwards and if the changes are actually moving us forward or not!
Change is scary, it's uncomfortable!! but right now I want to stay optimistic and see where the new winds take us from here!
I will continue to work towards my goals and dreams within hololive, so I hope you can continue to watch over us!! ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐
