"Stars has had 3 concerts, they say only 1 is full house, the remaining 2 are empty"
6+ years Starmin here. Atp I don't remember whether the tickets all sold out or not (Twt search sucks) but idk man...maybe there are a few empty seats, but these don't look empty to me 😅

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

#Holostars

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

- Steam Prison BANNED
- ALL MICA'S GAMES BANNED

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?? 🤔

Re: #Holostars situation

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

Re: #Holostars situation

Some thoughts after ~8 hours:

I've been a fan for 6+ years now, before they even reached 1st year. I watched their 1st anniversary. I watched their 1st concert, 2nd concert, and other paid events. They're a big and important part of my life all of these 6 years, when I entered and graduated from college. They're even a part of my thesis! I took a photo with Temmanui on my graduation ceremony! So to say this news is devastating is an understatement. This somehow feels worse than a talent's graduation. I feel sick to my stomach. My head hurts. My heart is broken. I cried.

At first, I wasn't sure if I can confidently say, "I'll keep supporting the boys until the end." But now, after processing the news for 7+ hours, I think I can say it. Ultimately, I'll keep supporting them until the very bitter end. To quote Twitter oomf, "I've been on this boat for long enough I've taken residency and I'm going down with it when it goes down." Like going down with the Titanic LMAO.

There are more things on my mind, more things to be said. But for now, that's all I can say.

By the way, Temma-kun talked a bit about the announcement on his stream. Ultimately, he doesn't resent the decision. Rather, he feels grateful for all the opportunities (like 3D concerts) he's been given. He also confirmed that, much to my heartbreak, there won't be merch for his birthday in 2 weeks. 😭💔 I was looking forward to it...I thought maybe he'll release a new nui too, but alas. I want everyone to get new nuis, damn it!! 🥲😭💔

Anyway, I need a vodka. (I don't drink)

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK!!!
This somehow feels worse than a talent's graduation, holy shit. The entire branch is... 😭😭😭💔💔💔

I'm in complete shock. My heart dropped reading Shiepi's and other members' tweets. I feel sick to my stomach. Speechless. I dunno what to say yet. Let me process this first... 🥲😭😭😭💔💔💔

I just woke up and this is the first news I saw?? What the fuck man. What the fuck...what a thing to woke up to 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Also, does that mean kishi won't have birthday merch?? 🥲😭 (Or maybe it's done before this was decided?)

(Also on: Twitter)

Fubuki, Matsuri, Iofi...thank you so much for loving and supporting always 🌟 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

(Also on: Twitter)

The boys trying to be positive and cheering us up...I appreciate it, but ngl a part of me feels even more hurt. That they're sorry even though it's not their fault. That they're trying to be positive even though they're hit the hardest. They're so strong and amazing;; 🥲😭

(Also on: Twitter)

Oh I'm finally crying. It's finally starting to sink in
Excuse me. I'm a multi-fandom chaos, but I always thought of myself as a 🌟 fan first. And now...let me grieve for the VTuber idol group I've been supporting for 7 (SEVEN!!) years 🥲😭😭😭💔💔💔🥀

Temma-kun talks about the announcement a few times, on and off (?) due to matches lol
He personally doesn't resent this decision. Rather, he's thankful for all the opportunities he's been given these past few years, like 3D concerts 🥲😭
He's sad about oshafes and merch though 💔

(Also on: Twitter)

TEMMA-KUN JUST CONFIRMED...HIS BIRTHDAY IN 2 WEEKS WILL NOT HAVE MERCH. NOOOOOO 😭😭😭💔💔💔

TO SAY I'M DEVASTATED AND HEARTBROKEN IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT 😭😭😭💔💔💔🥀
I was gonna say, "What if kishi releases a 2nd nui too?", But alas, it'll never come now 🥲😭😭😭💔💔💔

(Also on: Twitter)

Sorry this is all I keep talking and spamming RTs about. I don't even feel like interacting with other fandoms tweets right now, it doesn't feel right. I have more things to say, but. My head hurts. Ending the day now maybe. I'm going to eat dinner then play games. See you later
