Thank you for rectifying this rather than just copypasting my flawed copypaste.
I was languishing at a bank when I noticed the dead thread; wondered if I could make a new thread without anyone around noticing that I was looking through a mix of lewd and not so animu girls (Sora folder) on my phone in order to find an OP pic. Decided that it was too risky.

Sora playing Pokemon in 15min
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Wrw_FDIGg

Everyone, it's starting.

Sora's humming is too soothing

Sora can’t stop getting blindsided by random moves

Not to be a numberpeep but Sora is over 5,5k, already one hour into the stream.
I'm glad she's doing fine as of lately.
Yesterday she was heavily overlapped but even then she went about 3k almost constantly.
I hope this stays after the Pokemon buff

>>38578828
(me)
By the way,
be aware of this fan project advertised today in reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/zfr2tw/tokino_sora_from_high_school_girl_to_super_idol/
It would be fine if we support them retweeting and watching the video when it's premieres

I'm glad Kotone is doing horrible as of lately.

>>38579185
i will check this, hope they did a good job, not sure who are behind this project i don't see the usual Soratomo like DS,Moro etc and seems like they are overseas circle

>>38579721
I don't know either but there are other Sora-related videos in their Youtube page
Apparently this person "TheRisingTsun" is head of the project, maybe
https://twitter.com/therisingtsun
According to his tweeter, He and some friends have bought tickets to next fes.
And he has held a panel about VTubers last July with a Sora plushie on the table

>>38579185
>fan project advertised today in reddit
if it's about Sora then it's dead in the water.
i've been to leddit sparingly but it's mainly to check whether or not sorastuff is being properly advertised.
It isn't.
Bother this year's and last year's Lives have gotten zilch support. A perfunctory late sticky that disappears immediately after the concert's over whereas others have their bdays or whatever costume bullshit stay up for a week or more until the next thing.
The mods of that cancerous place do not like Sora. At least the jannies and mods here are either neutral or favorable.
But on leddit I sense a distinct dislike comparing the way they handle others' events and Sora's, consistently so.
Fuck them all to death.

>>38580391
But posting here has barely any spread
Other talent's fans don't enter this thread to see if there are any news. The main hlgg mostly ignores Sora, too.
At least there it passes through the feed and people can choose where to read the contents of the post or ignore it. But there's a chance anyway

>>38580545
I didn't mean to imply that this place would be any better for publicizing this thing; this thead just died today at 120 odd posts after all.
Just griping at the shittiness of reddit and how whenever I turn around to look at it it gets worse.
But there and I suppose twitter are places if you want to spread general awareness even if the faggots running the reddit don't lift a finger to support.

Nunnun did it!

>>38580391
That's Sora fault for choosing not to be a holostars member

Another Titan down.

Acording to my twitter feed, many soratomos are getting the FanClub Magazine delivered.
If someone here is a member, they should receive it soon.

>>38583669
love this version of saorao
super saorao

Sora love!

>>38580391
Not really surprising considering that nowadays all the Sora antis are redditors, but things used to be better when that russian soratomo was still around.

>>38589159
Is he the reason for the Sora in the Lada?

>>38589259
I don't know, he disappeared from all his accounts in early 2021.

>>38589159
>Sora antis are redditors
What makes you think that?
I've seen many Sora clips a little more than a hundred upvotes and stream notifications about 20 or 30 usually.
It's not much but she's not shadowbanned or straight up banned there.
The same as in other threads here where there are anons who call out posts belittling Sora without probably being straight up soratomos themselves.
I think that we, overseas soratomos, have a problem of numbers but not really a problem with antis. We are mostly ignored if any.

>>38598350
Probably some faggot like lyger, but who does it for free. Lyger I would assume was paid for his translation services. Who knows?

Hmm, I'm thinking nunnun

>>38598536
i was checking reddit and on Sora latest concert thread i saw someone said the thread got unpin so fast, i hope that faggot mod don't get any pay and got replaced, that's fucking unacceptable towards Sora of all people

>>38600683
Some of those reddit-tomos are alright. I like the EoP who does nothing but clip Sora noises because he doesn't understand Japanese. Now that is a man that's dedicated to his oshi, respectable.

The most dedicated Soratomo is me

>>38612439
Prove it.

>>38570472

She's terrific. Closing her eyes wasn't even a bit, she kept colliding with the walls, her eyes were closed shut.

>>38619089
It is. Straight to jail.

No Soda stream tonight?

>>38624237

>>38625669
Amazing if true.

Probably Pokemon to keep moving forward the story before the permissions run out

If raobaokao is getting a redesign, do you think saorao's in line for another model shift any time soon? How long's she been in her current form?

Next stream will not be Pokemon. It will be something big, like a collab or some shit.

But yes, ever since 5th Live ended she's been especially cute, in pokemans and zatsudans.

Beary whorey.

>>38650837
Some things were meant to be left in 2018.

>>38650837
>>38656365
How would you alter it if you could? Just "Sora" but in one cursive stroke and the "O" bear-face? Hiragana?
I think it should have the star ribbon somewhere because "star ribbon = sora" and all. Full name?
Perhaps much the same cept the final A in a more cursified "SorA" being shaped more star like with the ribbons.

It's truly fine as is though. I mean it's basic, but it's stark and stands out in a line up of all the holosigs. A simple signature to represent simple beginnings. Guess that's partially why she's never changed it.

>>38661383
You can do quite a lot while keeping it simple, this is AZKi's official signature.

>>38661925
I see the face markings, which I don't even remember whether or not her current model even has at this point, but where do the ears fit in the overall AZKi picture?
It doesn't have to mean anything of course.

>>38662162
Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar. Cat ears cute.

>>38662162
Her first, OG model had hair horns like that, and the face markings are a removable accessory for the current model's previous outfit so I assume they can be applied to this one as well. She doesn't wear them that often anymore, but they're a remnant from her 'world line beta' chuuni larp to explain why she changed plans so it's at least lore consistent as to why she doesn't wear the war paint anymore.

>>38662535
>'world line beta' chuuni larp to explain why she changed plans so it's at least lore consistent as to why she doesn't wear the war paint anymore.
?
Is this related to some scattered comments I've seen on here when anons were trying to powerrank holos acccording to lore?

>>38662925
https://youtu.be/AHiXcyjRuf8

Could be, it's her way of couching changing from the INNK contract which had a end date to the standard Holo contract which is indefinite. It's very cute chunni lore.

>>38663190
Thanks I'll give it a watch.
Iirc during the power levels talk someone mentioned that AZKi can "create digital worlds through song" or some shit. I thought that was just lyrics from one of her songs.
Lol. Is there any holo who's the same kind of "vanilla human" with no special powers like Sora?
Matsuri, Haato - at least originally - Subaru?
They really went all out and never looked back by 3rd gen didn't they?

>>38663835
AZKi has never been a normal human, she's always been a digital construct ala a ghost from Ghost in the Shell. Creating worlds with her song is I think someone just taking the lyrics of her songs, but her lore has always been about exploring digital frontiers and unknown worlds. The world line shift is completely different from that, though.

>>38663835
Azki's official lore is honestly very cool. As far as I'm aware, I think she's the only Holo that's been isekai'd. Shame she never leans into it.

>>38664408
I would say that some of her songs lean into it Inochi and A to Z, but that's arguably moreso just her being self aware about her contract ending and wanting to leave something behind for her fans so¯\(°_o)/¯

I do agree that she doesn't lean into it all during her streams though.

>>38665062
Her early songs lean into it, but I'm sure it's just a combo of her being exited about her new identity and wrangling by management.

>>38665361
I think it was more a result of the AZKi project initially casting her more as a seiyuu playing a role then a person behind the model like a traditional Holo, but yea, it was 100% management driven.

Nlo

>>38663234
Don't do it A chan!

Finally got around to watching the zatsu vod, was she cuter than usual today? Big shout out the the English superchats not asking retarded questions for once.

>>38677834

>was she cuter than usual today?
Difficult to say, her baseline cute level has been WAY up in recent weeks

>Is there any holo who's the same kind of "vanilla human" with no special powers like Sora?
>Sora
>no special powers
Even if she doesn't have any powers initially she's now worshipped as HoloGod.

>>38688413
I require proof.

>>38663835
This is the list of humans as per profile. None has powers at all
.- Iroha is fully human in theory. At first, it was theorized that she maight be a shapeshifting Tanuki, but that died soon.
.- Nene is an alien, so no.
.- Luna might be human. She just refuses to count years past as she ages or her world has a very long cycle around their sun.
.- Marine and Noel are human.
.- Shion, Subaru, Aqua would be humans.
Shion is a witchcraft student but what kind of witch is up to debate. Does she have demon lineage? Did she make a pact witch a devil? or just a human.
.- Haachama and Matsuri are humans
.- Sora, Suisei and Miko are human. AZKi is a digital being, not human. But might have been before becoming digital

In ID, Most of them are human. Only Iofi, Risu, Ollie and Anya are stated as non-human. Olli was human at some point before.
The rest have animal motifs in their clothes, hairstyles and whatever but they are still human despite fan-lore. The cannot transform or get any power from it.

In EN, only Amelia is currently a human. Ina used to be one but not anymore.
If Amelia has any power is through technology, I guess. She's supposed to be just a detective. Dimensional travel and the Time clock are fan crazyness becoming truth in the end

>>38689877
Isn't Miko's original setting about being a miko at a virtual shrine or something

>>38689877
Isn't Moona possessed by moon goddess as per High Tide, while Reine is a mage of some variety?

>>38689936
She might be an isekai human from a virtual world where she worked in the virtual shrine. Then she was isekai'd from that isekai world into ours. So reincarnating as a human in our world.
Or somethign like that.
I didn't look it through

>>38690040
I looked her profile to see if she's a moon goddess in her lore. But there's no mention of it.

It's difficult to decide what is real and what is not when it boils down to fan theories and lore expansions. I try to keep close to the official profile and powers shown on stream as much as possible.

>>38690154
High Tide is Moona's official MV and it pretty clearly establishes her as having the power of the moon goddess, though I have no clue if that's part of her original lore or a later addition.

>>38689877
(me)
We could also say that Nene is an technically an alien from another planet. But from a biology standpoint she might be a human from born from a space colony or abducted or something like that. She has no powers as far as we know

>>38690204
High Tide is pretty vague as far as lore goes though.
That said, I'm pretty sure there's the human Moona and also the moon goddess, then at the end of the MV the moon goddess takes over completely.

>>38690271
I have vague memories of her calling her 2nd outfit her goddess form as well during the reveal, but I'm not gonna claim to know for certain.

>>38648166

Cheers fellow Soratomos.

Suisei sang with them too!? What a great cover

>>38690241
>>38664408
Nene's been isekai'd too then. AZKi into cyberspace but Nene into "physical" reality.
I do like how they gave a nod to this in her hologra debut where she Sadako's out of the TV.
>>38689877
>Haachama and Matsuri are humans
In Haato's snippet of the new SSS vid a Haachama Easter egg that imply that Haachama is now, at least begrudgingly no doubt, semi-canon.
Still, a schizo is still only human, disregarding all the other shenanigans she's cooked up to replace her admittedly bland original kayfabe like Godchama BTFO of Council's bs chunni debut lore.

Poor Sora, surrounded by monsters and freaks, schizos and geeks.
The seemingly un-moving silent center of the spinning wheel of madness that is hololore.
Seemingly unchanging and eternal like her silly childish signature.

I hope one day AZKi get her own thread. As for Kotone, she can die in a hole for all I care.

She's home

>>38694527
But at what cost?

>>38695720
Source onegai

No stream today huh. Probably because she watching the VMA.

>>38593533
Heh

>>38692368
Would Nene qualify as being isekai'd? I thought she was just an alien from another world. I guess literally that would qualify but I'm pretty sure Azki is the only one that has been "converted" anime trope style.

>>38699190
I don't really know.
Isekai just means literally "Another world".
Most of the times is used to represent a fantasy world away from the modern world.
But in the basic sense it's supposed to mean "A completely different culture/way of living". It's more about the culture shock and discovering a new world from our modern viewpoint.
If you live in modern Tokyo and get kidnapped to rural Mozambique I guess it counts too.
You can Isekai either through Time, or Space, or Space-Time (same Universe), another Universe/Dimension, another Reality, and so on.

>>38699190
I thought she was just a girl but from another dimension, so not an alien as in ayylmao.

>>38701973
She used to be an alien from a planet that was suspiciously like China but ever since the great chinkout prompted her rework, I don't know if her lore also got changed.

Who is the second sora?

>>38702035
She was from the planet Tao Tao.
You know, Momo Suzu Nene Taotao. All kanji repetitions.
>>38702181
She's not Sora, obviously, but I don't remember her name

>>38702181
Yua

>>38702181
YUA, the original numbers vtuber. She's known for complaining about her dismal numbers. She actually indirectly collabed with Sora on the Weatheroid channel (highly recommended to check out the Sora series there for Sora weatherwoman LARP)

>>38696798
I dunno whether there's a version that's actually more revealing, I just chose the slightly cropped one because you never know with sorajanny what kind of prudish streak infects them on any given day.

anyone has reliable translations of sme of her songs?? I don't really like the japanese music in general and I am not a soratomo, but I think I may like her original stuff if I knew what they say.

Also, I've been trying to pirate most of the holos stuff no no avail. I've been told to use youtube.dll but something with python soesn't allow me to. Anyone has another idea for downloading?

'
>>38717940
Do you have an android phone?
Newpipe instead of the yt app; allows for easy downloading of vids in vid form in different resolutions or audio form in different file types and kbps.
I'm lazy and prefer to have song files offline rather than some online streaming service. It's how I get a lot of music. Best sound quality? No. But like anyone tell the difference especially with my cheap setup.

>>38718315
Oh yeah, I got newpipe a while ago. I can get to soundcloud and other streaming services as well!!
I guess I can download 'em and make the effort of piracy instead of looking for something online...

And what about translations mmm?
