Aiko's Gazebo of Thoughts

📌 About

This is my microblog for my short and informal posts, akin to Twitter. I use it:
1) To keep posts from social media (Twitter, Mastodon, etc) I want to preserve.
2) As something like TwitLonger/Fusetter/Privatter - in other words, for longer posts that don't fit a social media's character limit.

Some posts are retroactively moved/copied from elsewhere to this microblog (PESOS), while others are original but may also be cross-posted (posted at the same time)(POSSE) or linked on social media. Initially, I didn't include links to original/copied posts elsewhere (original post link or posts-elsewhere), but as of 2025-08-26, I decided to include them as "(Also on:)" going forward. Some posts won’t have links, especially older ones. Not every post will have these, since some links are lost or no longer available by the time I decided this. For instance, RIP my old Twitter account for many years, @harem_eater. 🥀 Some links may also become dead links in the future.


Also refer to >>1 (this pinned post is long overdue since this microblog has existed and been used, even linked on some social media, since June lol).

📌 Tegalog

This microblog is created using Tegalog by Nishimura-san. There is no English version. I can change some text to English, but it'd all revert back to Japanese after version updates, so excuse me for all the Japanese text that is left.

That's only for the first 2 concerts (1st ACT and 2nd ACT) btw. We know for sure in-person tickets for Movin' On! (5th anniversary) sold out because, 1) Fans who wanted to buy the tickets witnessed it (still remember), 2) The members mentioned it, baffled

I saw someone saying elsewhere that what had happened today, with the explosion in viewership numbers, won't change anything. That the decision is made, so it won't change anything.

This might be a "waffle and pancake" situation or me putting things in their mouth, but to me, their reply feels...dismissive? I'm not sure how to word it. I'm lacking dictionary today, sorry.

Like yeah, maybe it won't change anything in the end. But for them to be unhinged and gaining more viewers in this supposedly "last stretch", is that such a bad thing?? Is it bad and wrong of us fans to have fun with them and to clutch a glimmer of light (hope) in the darkness? Is it bad for us fans to be happy that more people notice them and find out how funny they are, even if it's "the last moments"? Are you saying that all of us - the boys and fans - should just bite our lips and back down without a fight, with dark and gloom?

I don't think so. It's good to be realistic, but being too pessimistic ain't it, either. They boys are doing this exactly because there's nothing to lose. If things come crashing down, at least they put up a fight and they'll go out with a bang, and us fans will have amazing memories. I say let us have the last hurrah. I'd rather things end with some positivity in it, in our own terms. The attention may help them "later on", too.

I hope that makes sense.

In conclusion:

It may be the end. So let’s make the most of what’s left. Let’s laugh, go feral, and support Holostars louder and harder. Even if it doesn’t change the outcome, it still means something. Or so I think and believe.Fold

- Saya no Uta 3+ ?!?! WDYM WTF HOW LMAOOO 😭😭😭
- Steam Prison BANNED
- ALL MICA'S GAMES BANNED
- A LOT of BL banned
- Some GL banned, some safe

THIS IS TRULY OUR DIRGAHAYURI...

In short, the rating doesn't make sense for a lot of games, and some are questionably banned OR questionably rated (SAYA NO UTA 3+??? 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭)
Also, I have no idea what "Penampilan tokoh" means lol. Historical and/or religious figures maybe?? 🤔

I'm not going to mince my words this time. This will be more negative than my previous message.

"Holostars fans don't actually watch/support them!" To people who say this...Pēdīcābō ego vōs et irrumābō.

It's a rhetoric I've seen MANY TIMES over the past 6+ years and frankly, I'm SO SICK of it. Is that all you can keep parroting and repeating like a broken radio? It's VERY disrespectful to the fans who have done so much. And if you're asking for proof, there's a lot, you're just blind to it because 1) you're not in the fandom, 2) you ignore it because it doesn't suit your agenda.

"You should've just supported them harder."

The things is, there's only so much us fans can do. We watch their streams. We clip their streams. We talk about them, livetweets or not (I've done a lot of livetweets and I've seen a lot of livetweets!). We make fanworks, writing and drawing alike. We buy their voice packs and merch - Holostars' AGF (Animate Girls Festival) merch is especially infamous for being a bloodbath, where the merch is SOLD OUT in mere seconds. We attend their paid events/concerts - I personally PAID for these (1st ACT, 2nd ACT, 3RISE, Movin' On!, Big Field Day), the first two concerts sold out all venue tickets within hours, the venue tickets for Movin' On! SOLD OUT IN MERE SECONDS with a lot of fans not getting any, and I know people who even flew to Japan to attend concerts. We make various fan projects, from drawings, web only, to offline gatherings - even expensive ones like billboard ads and train station ads (by the way, Holostars 5th anniversary train station ads by Indonesian fans reached its hefty donation goal in MERE HOURS).

Is that all nothing for you? What else do you want us to do?? What else are we supposed to do?? Becoming a promotor?? We can promote them, sure, but it's NOT our job, and again, there's only so much we can do - our reach is limited. Becoming a shareholder??? Don't make me laugh.

Are you saying all of that is not enough? What is "enough"? What can be considered "enough"? What is the metric? At this point. it feels like NOTHING is ever going to be enough. All the boys' efforts - with all their blood, sweat, and tears, and all the fans' efforts are NEVER going to be enough in your and management's eyes. The ceiling will only keep raising higher and higher with no break or end in sight, and we'll never be able to meet it.

After 6+ years of working hard, only to be told that all of our efforts are STILL not "good enough" is VERY devastating. And I'm so sick, tired, and frustrated of seeing the boys and fans get undermined again and again.

The funniest thing is, us fans can't even give the boys money even if we want to now, as there are no more merch, not even digital voice packs! It's insanity. (There's still superchat and memberships, but.) It is said support is cut off due to not making profits, but then, HOW THE HELL are the boys going to make money like this when they can't sell anything, not even digital voice packs?? WHAT THE HELL do you want, CVR??

Regardless, once again, I'll keep supporting Holostars until the very bitter end. I'll go down with the sinking ship.Fold
