>>15400418Coco did in fact want to apply as staff, but she was very reluctant given how big of a JSL she was (remember how she was when she first debuted?) but when she saw haachama speaking English and trying her best to connect with the English audience it motivated her to not just be a staff member but actually go and become a talent.
I'm not really a haaton not a dragon lover but facts are just facts, I'm not gonna sit here and say that without haachama coco would've NEVER applied, but a small push is all you need sometimes to do what's on your mind... Or back away from it, and that small push in the grand scheme of thing would be very very important.
I'm one of those people who truly believe that without haachama, holoEN would've came much later than intended and they wouldn't be as popular, without fubuki the waves of clips wouldn't exist or at least wouldn't have been as strong as they were when they first started getting popular, without the likes of korone, Matsuri and miko there wouldn't be legendary clips people still talk about today.
Everyone in the earlier Gens had a part one way or another, some are bigger than others but it's still a part regardless
