Listened to it after the Holotalk, didn’t love it initially but it definitely grew on me.

Shameless plug for Under the Stars, of which The World Outside is a sort of “sequel”, and which deserves WAY more views (I’m still sad Gura never sang it in a karaoke or something ;_;).

She cannot be contained.

I’m looking forward to the 3D Debut, but I’m even more looking forward to (and mildly afraid of) what she might cook with unbridled home 3D streams.

“ProMyth” fits so much, I know Kiara said she wouldn’t approve of “merging gens” or things like that, but I’d love if it was the official name for cross-gen collabs lol

Consistently electing Democrats will force Republicans to become “less of a threat”, which will force Democrats to have an actual platform since “the other guy” getting elected isn’t as scary anymore. It’s all about shifting the window.

The path to fixing the system through voting exists, it’s just not viable as long as people keep staying home because “they don’t like either candidate”.

And if people can’t move their asses to do something as simple as voting, I really doubt they have what it takes to actually do “something else” resulting in concrete changes.

Advent 3D was announced in mid-July so yes, this is pretty early. Although Breaking Dimensions was announced around this time last year, and it was pretty obvious that Advent would get a 3D before that.

Also yes, Autofister in 3D is going to be glorious. I’m also looking forward to ERB in concerts, and as an Italian, I hope Raora’s hand tracking will do us justice lol

Eh, 9 AM on a weekend isn’t that bad for JP viewers. I’m guessing, as usual, they put it at the best possible hour for those two audiences and us EU bros have to suck it up. At least most people don’t work the following days, I guess.

 

COVER Corporation today announced the hololive English -Justice-’s 3D Showcase Schedule, kicking off with Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame on August 1st, Gigi Murin on August 2nd, Cecilia Immergreen on August 8th, Raora Panthera on August 9th, and a 3D Collaboration on August 16th. (PDT)

The four talents will also be joining their fellow hololive English members in the upcoming hololive English 3rd Concert -All for One- event, announced to be happening later in August.

They’re not aiming for “moderates” at this point, they’re straight-up aiming for right-wingers. Right-wingers who have a working brain, and when given the choice between a right-wing party and literal fascism, they’ll vote the former. People who like Liz Cheney, basically.

Oh no, FPTP works very well, for the two main parties. That’s why neither ever bothered to change it. You’re strong-armed into voting for the lesser evil because if you don’t, everything just keeps getting worse.

This way you can build a party on a cult of personality revolving on a cartoon villain and get votes, because cults strengthen participation, and another party that is allowed to do literally anything as long as they’re “not as bad as” the other. It’s absolutely perfect for rich people in power who only care about their own benefits.

And the worst thing is, people keep falling for it. They think they’re giving some sort of comeuppance to the Dems by not voting, but the reality is they don’t care that much if they win or not. They’re rich, they can survive four more years of Trump as long as they don’t oppose him too much.

Hell, at this point the worst thing you can do to the DNC (besides actually voting for progressives in primaries) is getting them elected, multiple times in a row, so many that the Overton Window shifts and they’ll be forced to actually act as a leftist party because Republicans won’t be able to fash their way into power if they want to get elected.

This is unironically how FPTP systems work. You ALWAYS have to vote for the lesser evil, because if you don’t and the bigger one wins, the other one will shift even more to the right since they know actual voters lean more towards them.

I’ll admit I’m not sure if I would be more excited or scared for a Vtuber at Eurovision… but honestly, with people like Tommy Cash and Little Big, there’s a chance she wouldn’t even be the “weirdest” contestant lol (plus, of course, she’s great at singing and her songs are really catchy, if people can go beyond the “novelty” I’m sure she could gain quite a good number of new fans)

Splitting a party in a FPTP system is the best way to ensure the opposing one keeps winning.

The choices are two: you either get a violent revolution started or you keep voting for the Dems. Anything else ranges from useless to deleterious.

 

HoloParade: Deluxe Edition is also coming to Switch on the same day!

 

Flight reservations to Japan from some of its key tourism markets have reportedly plummeted, with some linking the fall to The Future I Saw, a Japanese graphic novel based on the “prophetic” dreams of its author, Ryo Tatsuki.

The cover of the original, published in 1999, refers to a “great disaster” occurring in March 2011 – the date Japan experienced a deadly earthquake and tsunami. In a new edition containing additional material that was published in 2021, Tatsuki said the next major disaster would occur on 5 July 2025. Her claim has fuelled sensationalist social media posts warning people to stay away from Japan.

 

(Though technically, since it’s gonna be prerecorded, yesterday’s zatsu was her actual last stream)

In the commercial, characters Maru (actor Nanase Nishino), Peke (Virtual YouTuber Usada Pekora), and Ki-3 (game streamer KIYO) are messing around in Maru’s grandfather’s shop when they uncover a mysterious Memory Card. Plugging the Memory Card into an original PlayStation starts their journey along the “Play Has No Limits” railway, where they through game worlds like a roller coaster ride.

Just for context, Scopely is owned by Savvy Games Group, a company “founded by the Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund to foster the growth of the gaming industry in Saudi Arabia and to invest in foreign video game companies.”

〈HoloLive member: Shirakami Fubuki〉

This time, four of us, including Shirakami Fubuki, Houshou Marine, Tsunomaki Watame, and Otsuki Maki, sang "We Go!" from "SPECIAL EDITED VERSION ONE PIECE Fishman Island Arc"! I still can't believe that we, the Hololive members, can hear our singing voices from the "ONE PIECE" anime. I feel very honored to have been given this opportunity, and I am proud to have been involved in a work that I love.

〈HoloLive member: Takanashi Kiara〉

Kikkeriki! I'm Takanashi Kiara from Hololive English -Myth-. I'd like to comment on behalf of my friends Hakos Baelz and Kobo Kanaeru! It's a dream come true to be able to participate in such a wonderful project. This is a great milestone for us as it is the first time that the three of us have sung for an anime. We are so honored to be singing with the legendary Hiroshi Kitadani for our Hololive English/HoloLive Indonesia version! I hope that everyone will enjoy our version of "We Go!" among the many versions out there! The recording was so much fun and I can't wait to hear everyone's reactions.

〈Hiroshi Kitadani〉

This is the first time we've recorded this song that we've been singing in various places and situations for 14 years! And it's a collaboration with everyone at Hololive! While there are parts that are arranged in a pop style, there are also parts that are energetic and powerful and have a strong nuance, so please enjoy the new "We Go!" with stronger nuances!

〈Maki Otsuki〉

This time, we had the opportunity to collaborate with everyone at Hololive for the first time with "We Go!" I was also very happy that it was arranged by Mine Kushita, who I haven't seen in a while! From the cute singing voice, Nun! Otsuki will appear like the final boss, so please look forward to it~ (laughs)

I'm honored to be able to work with Otsuki Maki and all the Hololive members! This time, we've packed in a lot of different instruments and sounds as a special version of the great song "We Go!" from "ONE PIECE". I hope you'll listen to the full version!

I teamed up with tepe to create a dramatic arrangement full of adventure. The cute singing voices of the Hololive members and Kitadani's overwhelming vocals combine to create a world view that will instantly draw you in. The sound is sprinkled with exciting gimmicks that you can discover every time you listen, so please enjoy it to the fullest.

It's really like a dream to be involved with "ONE PIECE", which can be said to be the bible of my life. This time, I teamed up with TeddyLoid to update the song without forgetting to respect the original song. It's packed with a lot of sounds unique to "ONE PIECE", so be sure to check them out. People's dreams never end!!!

Italy's President Sergio Mattarella has told Elon Musk to stop interfering in the country's politics, after the tech billionaire criticised an Italian court for blocking the transfer of migrants to detention centres in Albania built through a controversial immigration deal.

Musk, who has been picked to jointly lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency" by US President-elect Donald Trump in his incoming administration, wrote on Tuesday on X that "these judges need to go".

He was referring to judges in Rome who had ruled against Italian PM Giorgia Meloni's initiative to outsource the processing and detention of some asylum seekers to Albania.

In a later post, the Tesla owner wrote: "This is unacceptable. Do the people of Italy live in a democracy or does an unelected autocracy make the decisions?”
