>>85926562I read the whole thing and I disagree with you but for reasons you stated yourself. It's BECAUSE these things take so much time that they should pace themselves. Comparing them to Marine is a fool's errand. Marine was perfectly placed, she was there at the beginning of the Hololive bubble and has been able to ride it all the way till now. She has insane amounts of money and clout that they never will. The one million wish wasn't even a thing when she debuted because there were no Holos at 1 million, and when EN blew up, the most successful JPs won as well, that's why she's closing in on 4 million. They are grinding their bodies to dust, yes age is a factor, but permanently hurting your body is a bigger factor. Marine did this by the way, she was recovering from vocal surgery and went too hard instead of resting and now it's a large part of why she can't stream as much anymore.
You can't rush these things. In piano, there are things called 3 year songs, 4 year songs etc. The idea being that you cannot really play some songs properly unless you have the x years of training behind your belt. Marine wasn't "slow". All of her originals are fucking bangers, there might have been 1 misstep with Fake Type but in reality that's better, like how Suisei's debut Album was songs she curated over years, most of them iconic, and her second one was kind of meh. More proof? Inochi was Azki's EIGHTH song and she had albums that flopped. Once she started streaming, she's now a 5view when before she was a 3view and her next album did much better. Or how IRyS has a ton of orisongs that nobody gives a fuck about.
The only thing FUWAMOCO are speedrunning are their bodies into a hospital. Marine and Pekora both had huge projects cancelled at the last stage so things don't always turn out well, even if you put a ton of time and effort into them. Also Marine supports her sister full time, so a lot of money goes to that. The whole point of Hololive is that older women can do it too. 37? There's Holos that age and older that are still at it. Korone is doing fucking aerials and she's the oldest Holo not named Luna or Botan.
They're constantly tired to the point of memory loss. They say they can't enjoy what they are doing even though they also say it's about the journey not the destination. Everyone, their parents, senpai, douki, kouhai, is telling them to slow the fuck down. They can do everything, but not all at once.
