And it's not like they are sitting idly, Robe and Rikka still collab plenty, Rikka and Astel have been making new covers recently, Robe is also taking vocal training to improve his singing, Papa has been collabing with Rene recently and is making his own clips, Temma has been putting in some real effort in connecting with his english fans (probably the most effort anyone in HoloPro has put into that) and even recently collabed with the ID girls, Astel is still impressing Apex pros with his skills and collabing a bit more outside the Stars, having befriended Meika (who also befriended Izuru) and getting invited to Hal's customs, and in general the boys are making some pretty significant connections outside HoloPro.
And yeah, the community doesn't put much effort into helping them, and the ones that do don't receive much support in many ocassions (there are actually plenty of translators and clippers but most of them are very small), but they are still putting in the effort, we have been seeing more and more clips of the boys, and not only funny ones but also serious ones, it's just a matter of time before the Youtube picks them up, we just need to continue supporting them so that can happen faster.
And Cover doesn't do the best of jobs when it comes to promoting the boys that nobody can really deny, especially when we compare it to some of the things they have done for the girls, Cover seriously screwed over them and even nowadays Cover still doesn't do a very good job with them, I mean a collab with some sake brand ain't gonna attract many new fans, since most of the people who will get it are already fans of Holostars or that simply like the brand and don't care about who appears on the bottles, and it doesn't help that they still have to suffer for the girls mistakes and Cover's general incompentency, but in all honestly there's little we can do in that regard, aside of doing what we have been doing already to support them.
Also, unless you are talking specifically about original songs, Spiral Tones isn't the first HololivexHolostar song.
