>Gura rode the coat tails of other entertainers that came before her, including JP based hololivers and particularly people like Coco who served as a translation bridge from JP to EN.
While you're not wrong about this, that doesn't explain how she's so much more successful than the rest of her genmates if that was all that's going for her. There's something special about Gura. You don't get growth like this by accident when every single other person in your company is pretty much following the normal trend.

>but skill wise not much is different from your average theatre kid
She's definitely better than average, but much more importantly, she has a very unique timbre, her voice is one of a kind. No one else can sound like her, even if they have better technique, and she's rapidly improving. Imagine her in another year or two. Gura could become a celebrity singer who fills stadiums. Being the first vtuber at that level of professional singing skill will absolutely blow her the fuck up in the mainstream when she gets some more music out.

>were you making a link between gura's singing talent and her growth?
I don't think it's coincidence that her growth is so insane compared to the rest of hololive while also being their standout #1 singing talent. She's cute and has a nice design and is great at making clippable memes so there's plenty going for her as a streamer but none of that is enough to justify her being so utterly and completely dominant. The thing that stands out most by far is her singing, it's clearly the main ingredient to her unparalleled success. Without that, even if she were still number one which I'm not sure would be the case, she wouldn't be ahead by such a crazy margin. The chart says everything. This doesn't happen to one girl by accident.
