I love Suisei, I have loved her for 4 years now
With Ame's graduation, I've come to the realization of how long yet how short 4 years may feel. I remember how Myth was what actually dropped me deep into the rabbit hole, though I had seen the infamous miko clip, as well as Korone playing Doom.
I remember Suisei quickly being one of the first to catch my attention, specially because of her unusual "holo but not holo"
I remember when GHOST came out and it became a favorite almost inmediately. But even more when I understood the lyrics, feeling unheard and unseen despite her work. It was also the first one that actually stood out as hers, as in her voice and style which she still has and I love
When Coco graduated with at least 70K viewers, right after her graduation finished, Suisei did a Karaoke as well, starting with GHOST. You could hear her pained voice, as it slightly cracked halfway through. But now it was hopeful, as Coco's graduation showed that there were many out there who actually cared about vtubers beyond a gimmick or their characters, but as persons. Coco especially bridged that JP/EN gap like no other had before, giving vtubing a much stronger traction overall. Now as a farewell, Suisei thanks Coco with the song which talks about that invisibility that was now thawing. She started making more covers, including one with Mori, she became really active.
Then, she releases her first album. The fruits of her unrelentless labor, through so many years, the reward for powering through until vtubers got big not only in Japan, but also the west. This is her dream achieved; her voice is now heard, she is now seen.
The First Take was the final victory, the antithesis to GHOST, from fighting tooth and nail to be heard and seen because she "only" is a vtuber, to now participating in a music channel as a peer to 3D singers. Not a transparent silhouette, not a cinderella waiting for her big chance, but a prince who fought to reach where she is right now.
She really has a special place in my heart. I genuinely admire her as a person.
Apologies for the blogpost, I just wanted to share my love for Suisei
