>>100733041I can't believe I was so bored I researched what those BS terms mean.
Anyway, I have to disagree. Myth was probably the only gen who you can't put into these "stereotypes" for idols. During the time that they debuted, they were all "Ace" or some bs terms you want to use.
They had their own specialty talent that they excel in.
Ina for creatives
Calli for songwriting and rapping
Kiara for the idol knowledge
Ame for technical and technological skills (and was the supposed "gamer" of the gen lmfao)
Gura for having the "internet knowledge" to know how to hook people in. At the time of their debut, she had one of the best voice among english speaking vtubers that also had the most reach.
It was actually a pretty common thing that Hololive did in the past starting from gen 3 (Hololive fantasy) where they would hire people for different "consumer base". You can see it in the next gens but it was only until Myth that they made another gen that had a "theme" which then started the whole gen debuts with a "theme". The concept of different people for different consumer base was never forgotten. That said, the gens between Fantasy and Myth was outright forgotten like gen 4&5 and ID.
Back to the topic, they never followed the whole Kpop group BS. The whole thing about Hololive was a gen consisting of a particular set of skills that are meant to hook in a particular consumer base. It is something they adapted from Nijisanji, the most successful vtuber group at the time of HoloMyth's debut which had a streamer-based model for the groups. Hololive didn't follow the toxic idol group thing you can see in Jpop idols where there's one talent and the rest are no different from back up dancers nor those forced stereotypes in Kpop idol groups that also becomes toxic later on.
It's actually funny how having streamer-based model for their talents while providing idol-based products and services made them a competition for both Nijisanji and the idol industry, albeit still a point of contention to this day. They were also, for a time, was the least toxic group to have existed. Until all the shit happened of course.
