Via holoplus:

hololive English is holding auditions for virtual content creators! Take your first step toward your dreams with hololive English! 👀✨

Edit: Note: Apparently auditions have been permanently opened for a while and this is just a reminder. However, due to other recent events detailed in my comments below, this audition reminder could still indicate a new gen is on the way. I wouldn’t expect any news for at least the next six months.

    At one point during Biboo’s Pokemon Legends Z-A stream towards the end when she is talking with Cece (timestamp pending), she receives a DM that causes her to gasp and get excited. Cece asks what that was about and Biboo says something along the lines of: she received great news that she can’t reveal now. When Cece asks if it’s something that she knows about, Biboo says no. (This is only from my memory, I can’t find the moment right now. It wasn’t clipped, and perhaps it was cut out from the VOD afterwards for secrecy’s sake. Cece joined the stream sometime after 10:30:00)

    My speculation is that Biboo was informed that someone she knows/recommended was accepted into hololive, likely via a DM from that individual. I don’t know anything about Biboo’s past pre-holo, but I guess that it would be someone she has interacted with before. I don’t know if past-life info is allowed to be discussed here (is it “doxxing”?)

    edit: Found the timestamps:

    • (8:20:08 - 8:24:00) Raora leaves the stream, Biboo checks her messages, gasps, and gets stunned into silence.
    • (10:49:16) The news Biboo received is something that even Cece doesn’t know.

      Without directly revealing Biboo’s past-life account (because I don’t know if that’s allowed here), here are some of my guesses for the new holoEN generation based on proximity to Biboo’s past-life (assuming I’m correct in my speculation that Biboo received news that someone she knows passed the audition):

        From my research on the matter, her producer was suspected to be Waabyuu (Feel free to DM me to know what that means).

        There’s been a post with some past life discussions about a year ago and it’s still up, so I guess that’s allowed (?) at least in regards to stuff that’s still public, maybe not for ones that deleted everything (which is not Biboo’s case).

          With no explicit rule one it, I think it is at least polite to put a warning about it.

          I don’t care anymore to finding out PLs and stuff. Like I really don’t care to go out of my way to find out or would get bent put of shape if I know. I’ll just play along depending on situation.

          Some still might care for the kayfabe, and I think respecting that is good and isn’t going to kill anybody

            I personally doubt anyone would care unless we’re talking real names/faces (and there’s very few who still have that up), but I guess it wouldn’t hurt, yeah.

            How to do that here, though? I don’t think we have the “black bar” style in the text editor, at most we could put the whole comment/paragraph under spoiler, but does that universally work in every Fedi frontend? Iirc stuff like breakthrough text rendered differently on some of those.

              Hmm, good point on the spoiler tag thing. What I will do though is I’ll just say at the top of a post it’s going to be PL talk and spoiler it I suppose. If anyone that prefers not to read about it, it’s their fault then 😅

              If the spoiler tags doesn’t work at least I’ve put a sign before
