>>105270039Holo EN Gen 1 was just an experimental branch to see if the EN market actually existed. You had someone who had a big following, a gamer, an artist, a musician, and an unsuccessful IRL idol as the "Testing the waters" group.
Let's be honest what they all are / were:
- Gura was a drunk memer who wasn't really good at streaming. She was good at singing, and leaned into memes and thrived as a meme. She wasn't much more than that though.
- Ame was good at games, and was funny because of the gamer rage, but again, nothing special when it came to interacting with chat and nothing on the idol front of things.
- Ina is good at art and enjoys gaming as a hobby. She's always just been a semi-consistent person who doesn't really push herself to do more or be more. She's always basically just ignored chat and kind of just plays her games, makes some sounds doing so, then wraps things up.
- Calli straight up admitted that she only used Holo to get her name out there. Now though, Cover has given her everything that she wasn't able to achieve on her own, so she's essentially stuck with them if she wants that continued level of success.
- Kiara is another one who in the five year anniversary stream, straight up said she didn't think she was still going to be here now; that it was a job she took because she needed something. Now, she too is stuck because it gives her the chance to be an idol, something she never was able to do before joining.
