1. Positive farewell note
UPROAR!! was a nice surprise and addition to Holostars after we only had 9 members for so long. I'll never forget the moment when they were announced, the seemingly long wait, the exhilarating long-awaited debuts, and all the memories they've created. They will always be fondly remembered as 4, a quartet that causes an uproar.
When Gan-chan debuted, I was very happy to see a member who can draw. A mangaka on top of that!! It's so cool and I admired him as a fellow drawer. His improvement as both a performer (in singing and dancing) and illustrator/mangaka was a sight to behold.
This is a personal anecdote, but it was really funny when my friend (who isn't really into VTubers) suddenly watched his stream and translated some things in chat. Thank you for making it happen, Gan-chan. I'll never forget about it.
It's really sad to part ways like this. He deserves a better ending. But at the very least, I'm glad he could perform in Holostars 5th anniversary concert - his first and last concert - as a great idol shining on stage and left us with one last message. It's hard right now, but surely, in the future, I'll fondly look back on all the memories.
Thank you very much for everything, Gan-chan. I'll miss you, hyper paripi mangaka. I'll miss your cheerfulness, your energy, your goofiness, and your drawings. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I hope you know that you're loved. You too are a star shining bright in the sky.
It was hard enough when I heard Fuma's voice, but then I heard Uyu's voice...I BROKE DOWN CRYING AGAIN...FUCK.......😭😭😭
Rio was also having it hard...it's clear he's sobbing but he tried not to show it;; 😭😭😭
Thank you, Fuma, Uyu, Rio. Thank you, Uproar...thank you 😭😭😭
It must've hit them the hardest...2 years working together, experiencing all sorts of joys and hardships, and they're such a tight-knit group, too...and then suddenly, one of them is gone...😭💔
It never seemed like UPROAR would lose a member this way. Life never fails to surprise you, huh.
Fuck, I hate this...this isn't what I want to wake up to. This isn't what I want to start the day with. I wish it was just a bad dream.
Temma-kun might be my kamioshi and I might not watch and talk about others a lot, but I love everyone in Holostars. Sometimes I lurked in their streams, watched clips, and enjoyed their antics as per their tweets and other fans' tweets. Just 3 days ago, Gan-chan was playing Minecraft and fans tweeted about it...he tweeted just 2 days ago...it's surreal to think that he's suddenly gone now.
As a long time fan, I went through all of Holostars' graduations/terminations except 1 and other VTubers' graduations/terminations. But it never gets any easier. Partings are never easy. Even when I'm not a fan of said VTuber, I still feel the pain. It's especially even more painful when they part so suddenly with no time to say goodbye.
That's the kind of partings that happened in Holostars so far. None of them had a proper graduation stream. Once again, we're left with confusion and sadness with no closure, not knowing what exactly happened. It never gets any easier, and if I may be frank, at this point, I'm sick of it already. The only little consolation is, at the very least, this time, we got a parting message.
Still, as this happened to a group I've supported for the past 5 years...to the VTuber I saw from debut all the way to termination...knowing his aspirations and how hard he worked these past 2.5 years, yet all proof of that will disappear and he could no longer do things he wanted to do...the pain is unlike any other. I actually cried a few times until I got a headache. I also cried again while writing this.
I know nothing is eternal in life. That is especially the case with VTubers, as proven time and time again. This is a harsh reminder of that. That's why, as people said again and again whenever this kind of thing happens, "cherish your oshis before it's too late, so you don't have any regrets" (this also happens to other things and people in general, as you really never know what'll happen in life). But even knowing that, it's not easy...
Not to mention, after the 5th anniversary concert, I feel again how Holostars JP had truly become a 13-members group. We just got "WE ARE THE HOLOSTARS & UPROAR" with 13 people. The lyrics said "13 people". So to take it away so soon is...so cruel...it's so painful...what will happen to the song now?? I wanted a MV, but if that means removing Gan-chan's part, then I don't want it anymore.
Also, this is very personal, but...I still haven't finished writing my blog post about the 5th anniversary concert due to thesis. I know, it's my fault for being so slow and late. Hell, my thesis is also about Holostars. What am I supposed to say there now?? Thesis another thing, but I'm not sure I can finish my blog post, at least for a while. It still hurts a lot to think about and see Gan-chan. I know I should try to watch archives and clips before they're taken down, to reminiscence about him one last time, but it hurts too much, I can't do it... (I said, but I watched some clips anyway.)
Not gonna lie, this kind of thing is why I sometimes think, "Why am I still here, just to suffer?". But I don't think I can get away from VTubers let alone Holostars so easily. I accidentally got here, how do I get out?? So I guess I'll just have to suck it up and cry each time it happens.
