Here goes! Managed to get streaming tickets for all 4 stages this year. I probably won't post too much about it here since Hololive fandom is still pretty quiet on Fedi, but 👋 if you're watching along!

That was so much fun! Everyone's singing in a more natural register this year, it sounds so nice. Standouts for me were Choco & Lui's duet, Zeta's performance, Fuwamoco pulling off a live performance of the Demon's Residence choreo, and of course Lamy & Koyori giving us Snow Halation in March (unfair!) Man I love Hololive.

Stage 2 was bonkers! They gathered most of Hololive's most energetic gremlins (all of Justice, for example) onto a single stage. Brilliant move. Standout performances: Kiara's intense EGO and her Glow In The Dark duet with La+ (now my favorite version of the song), CC's cover of nowhere, Botan's boundary, and a much-needed dose of Dotta Batta Chindochu.

Stage 3! Until tonight I hadn't seen much of Flow Glow beyond their MVs and occasional collab appearances, so their solo performances and MCs were a great intro for me. Other standouts: IRyS and Risu's Rabbit Hole cover, Shiori and Reine's Monitoring cover, Risu's solo duet (picture a MK time trial ghost, but singing), and of course Bae breakdancing.

Lots of HoloDori news so far this Expo, including pre-registration on mobile app stores and more gameplay previews, but no word on a launch date yet.

First item on the Expo timetable today, at 10AM JST (in about 40 minutes) is "Hololive Dreams Special Stage!" with a note about surprise info. That has to be it, right?!

It'll be streamed here.

hololive Dreams

Official website for hololive's first official mobile game, 'hololive Dreams'.

Nope! We found out about a fun looking mini-game, a theme song, and it's already passed 300K pre-registrations, but a release date was not announced. Next info drop is next month.

I don't think I can even pick standouts from Stage 4! If you saw the preview stream they kept that energy the entire show. I only have superlatives and a few screenshots to share. I'm giddy with happiness right now.

Man I love Fes.

@tojikomori Yep, no release date, but still a pretty exciting showcase, highlighting how expansive the game seems to be. I fear for the install size, though.  

And honestly, I can't shake off the feeling that HoloDreams is everything HoloEarth strives to be; it feels like there's a lot of overlap in features and supposed goals of the games. I doubt it'll happen, but I'd love to see Cover merge these two projects, effectively untying Earth's 3D concert feature from PC and bringing minigames of Dreams to the "big" platform in return.

@Vorisar HoloEarth's new year's letter this year mentioned they're working on a cloud gaming system for mobile users!

i had the same thought as you watching the mini game: there are so many extra features in HoloDori that it's starting to feel like a sort of chibi HoloEarth. but it's awkward that it's developed by an outside company. for that reason alone i think HoloEarth will live or die as a separate product.

@tojikomori Oooh, I missed that post! I guess that nullifies a lot of my potential arguments.  You are right, it'd be crazy for Cover to voluntarily can their in-house project, even if there's a partial overlap with the outsourced one. They are a tech company first, after all.  Plus the sunk cost fallacy and all of that. Maybe once money will begin to talk, their priorities will change, but that's for experts in corporate decision-making to speculate.
