What's the secret behind her explosive growth and popularity? Why now?

It's no secret, newfag, her Geoguesser arc plus a fantastic redesign took care of giving her some much needed spotlight, everything else is her own talent, professionalism and renowned confidence in herself. This last bit is particularly important because she has been a good streamer for years and a great singer on top, but the continuous flops and issues impacted her self-esteem greatly.

she was finally allowed to show her incredible and dynamic personality instead of being trapped as just a singer

>>102231324
The thing is I've watched her a few times this year and she seemed very mature, calm and...genuinely kind? Nothing particularly stood out apart from her singing, obviously. Is vtubing so grim these days that just being a very nice mature woman is enough to become one of the biggest members of Hololive?

>>102231431
She's a yamato nadeshiko, a real one not a girl that is acting like one
These are very rare in vtubing

>>102231465
So why hasn't Sora seen any significant growth? She's changed a lot too (for the better) whilst still preserving her maturity and professionalism like AZKi.

>>102231087 (OP)
Azki to me always had one of the most pleasant speaking and singing voices. The only thing that was holding her back was her outdated model and of course...barely streaming.

>>102231534
The only people that say sora is mature are people that never watched her or have only seen clips
She's still very much a "girl", gets embarrassed easily, is very silly, etc. She doesn't share many traits with azki other than being professional

>>102231534
She is the godfather of hololive
No matter how much successful others get she will be the top g and everyone will be always afraid of her.!!

>>102231534
Sora acts like a weird autistic child even though she's older than AZKi.

>>102231299
you should add the two yandere asmr at the end of 2023 and 2024.

>>102232247
Koyori is still one of the hottest hags in vtubing yet she never saw the same level of growth as AZKi after all this time and hard work.

>>102232219
It is but it's also why she's not more popular.

>>102232308
Koyori is a completely different vibe, she's niche
Not everyone likes having their ears blown out. Most people prefer calm, healing-type voices

>>102232308
Just blowing through games for 10 hours every day isn't hard work, nor are there very many people who would stick with watching something like that every day

>>102232546
Retard

>>102232308
Koyori doesn't fully using her own strong points. for example listen to her songs - her "god knows" is godly but instead she sings all that high pitched mediocre slop. same with casual talking - in some of her roleplays she use normal pleasant voice or high quality voice acting but for whatever reason she decided to make her main voice like...this...

>>102232546
Koyori and Sora stream as a way of relaxing from all the hard work they're doing off-stream. They're also probably the most parasocial members of JP. I guess Watame and Vivi are also up there.

AZKi, Sora, and Koyori are three of the sexiest women in vtubing.

>>102232732
I wish any one of these women were obsessed with me.

>>102232308
Koyori reeks of desperation and speaks in a shrill voice.

>>102232335
She doesn't care about popularity and since she has so much stock she doesn't have to

>>102232308
Besides the fact that trends and popularity shifts over time, hard work has never been a guarantee for success

The biggest boosts were joining Hololive, getting a redesign that didn't suck, and then jumping on the GeoGuessr bandwagon.

>consistent
>professional
>great design
>great collab partner
>old fans teach the newer fans the ways

>>102232308
Very confused why you say this like koyo isn't newer than azki (and generally has 10-15k ccv)

>>102236416
Koyo isn't newer than AZKi in many senses. AZKi is technically the newest HoloJP.

She just got a better design, which made people draw more porn of her, which attracted more coomers

>>102236898
AZKi has relatively few coomers, even in Japan. It’s hard to sexualize her.

>>102237016
lol
lmao, even

>>102237016
>It’s hard to sexualize her.
Come on now. Her voice alone is sexual to a point where other holos comment on it.

>>102236898
The design isn't that important.
She only got popular after she became a regular streamer which was a few months into her having that design.
If you go look at what she had been doing before geoguessr you'll see it's just singing and a random collab every few months.

Even if she was fake I miss old school Soramama

>>102231087 (OP)

She should keep putting herself out there & rubbing shoulders with the likes of Miko, Suisei, Subaru, Marine, etc in kino collabs. She's doing better so far this year. She also got a lot of attention for her Yandere ASMR last Christmas. More proof that ASMR is still the easiest road to success: https://www.youtube.com/live/q62fOkvRzpQ

>>102231087 (OP)
Her blend of sexy and cute is godtier. Genuine autism for topics like trains and geography. Really nice voice. Fantastic redesign. Like with IRyS, they gave her free range and it worked out very nice. If AZkI still looked the way she did back in 2021 it would be a harder sell.
>>102232308
Idk, but as an outsider looking in I have the impression Koyori is super flirty, despite I think rrats saying she is/was lesbian, and her art is amazing. High quality and sexy - her tag always results in a cheeky wank session for me.

>>102231087 (OP)
Who? Are you spamming about some jp nobody cares about again?

>AZKi has a schizo
She really made it, huh?

>>102231324
ERB......

>>102237016
>hard to sexualise her
retard have you seen all the yandere art?

>>102231087 (OP)
>now?
It's been literally 2 years since she started blowing up.

>>102231534
Only appeals to men who are high T, a rarity on this gay simp filled board.

>>102243165
too true anon.

Azki and Sora sex models, amazing voices, i dont even need to know what Azki is saying, her voice is so soothing...

Also her collabing with suityan recently... and her being apart of a lot more group activities..

>>102238641
>AZKi
She has so many gateways for people to discover her now, and she's at least pretty solid at all of them.

I came for her geography (Cities: Skylines actually), stayed for her singing, and came again for her permanent-ASMR voice.

>>102232308
azki has been in hololive since the beginning and she had almost zero growth for the first 3-4 years. most of her growth has been over the past couple of years. koyori has been in hololive for 3 years and her regular content is on the same level as azki. even today she was maintaining a steady 12-15k playing utawarerumono while going against marine, subaru and pekora.
