Agree, it’s sad that she isn’t still over a Million subs along with Mel. Also her live viewers aren’t that high she is still in the 5k- 2k average. It seems she has dedicated fans now so at least i’m happy she has her base.
Tbh, I personally hadn't ever heard of her until Holocure added her. Is crazy how some JP members are well known by even ppl who don't watch anything outside EN, yet others can be missed even by the overseas fans that do actively watch the JP talents.
@NomDatBass well she wasn't able to collab easily for a time oft ignored by bigger clippers even when collabing with popular talents, etc. Chronic overshadowing is a thing with Aki that her fans try to combat
with so many talents in Holo, it's bound to happened, everyone have their preference, youtube algorithm, lack clip etc. BUT, if you want to make comparison, steady 2K-5K live viewers is a lot if you compare them to ID girls, Moona with million subs only have 2K-2.5K live views, Kobo with 2 million sub, only have around 3K live viewers, also Ollie, Anya and Iofi sometimes only have hundreds of live viewers
yeah, I'm sooo happy to see her reguarly get 4-5k live viewers and even 3k is low for her often now. So different from just a few years ago. @@Fishman465
the whole rallying call thing that happened a few years back really helped. I forgot who, but someone made a video about her history and how she was Hololive's lowed subscribed talent, and within a few days she went from like, 50k subs to over 200k (this was before any of them hit 1m, so that was a lot of subs).
Debuting with 13 people watching, not being able to stream for months, low popularity, demonetized channels, part time side jobs, hideous internet connections, low specs equipment, literal poverty... The overcome of obstacles that new vtubers can't even begin to imagine is why so many people love and support a lot the early JP generations. They have grown so much and worked so hard to be where they are now. I love them all but man, 2017-18-19 girls deserve that extra mile of respect.
I know Sora hates how much ppl revere her, and it's perfectly understandable why, but tbh I think that the insanity she's gone through in her early days as not only a pioneer of Hololive, but for all of Vtubing, has permanently earned her a place in the hearts of people worldwide as someone to respect and admire. Not everyone could do what she did.
I remember a conversation Fubuki and Aki had earlier this year where they admitted to a point in the first year of streaming where they had both been considering quitting independent of each other. Things hadn't been going great and it had been really hard. They came to the realization during this conversation that if any one of their gen had quit during that time it would have caused a domino effect and the entire gen would have quit.
Same for Miko and Korone. They were wobbly on their feet and thought of quitting early on. Maybe Sora too (in part because of hate on her horror game streams), but I don't know for sure.
@@maverick1654 Sora likes horror, but she's like Anya or Botan - doesn't scare easily by things on the screen. Some chatters accused her of not playing blind, of having run the game before, and other copes to justify her lack of reaction. Business as usual for a veteran horror Let's Player, but it hit Sora pretty hard and demotivated her.
@@DinnerForkTongue To be honest, I wouldn't watch someone playing horror games and not getting scared (like Botan), not fun to me. But to go to the extent of hating them for that... Some fans are disgusting.
Much like how the cutting board's performance there is based on character-specific features, an item like that that's affected by seniority, with another affected by how recent a talent is, could kinda work...
@@IkariLoonaI can imagine..... "New reports are in! The new Holocure meta is now officially just Sora, with a time mode record of only 2 seconds!!!" 😂
There's one Clipper to thank for that, for bringing her story forwards to the EN audience and introducing her to i think over 200k new subs at the time~
@@ninjablade2 Yep, that kind soul did a social media campaign on her behalf and got her a lot of attention. That's also the origin of Akipella - Aki is a monster singer and doesn't even need the melody to stay on track, as demonstrated in her thanks stream.
It really makes me happy Aki has persevered through those tough days to get to here now. Her following may not be immense, but she's just as adorable and irreplaceable as the other Holomems.
And just as our beloved CEO even started, he first and foremost wanted to make that certain vr table tennis game vision reach the top. (Inb4 the vtuber nation arrived)
Recently the girls have gotten more comfortable sharing bits from the early days and it's often shocking to hear how 'meagre' things were. Looking at how far they have come makes me so happy, esp for Aki ❤
For the early gens in Hololive back then it must've been like playing Breath of the Wild: they would get out into the world with their phones in hand and the only objective they were given, instead of "defeat ganon" like in BotW, was "do the thing". And do the thing they did and thanks to that we have them today. Bless them for their efforts and much love to them 🙏
Yea. Like when you first ever boot STALKER, with the entire Zone ahead of you, and your objectives (Find Strelok, discover why Operation Fairway failed, etc.) are vague and give zero idea of how to accomplish them. It can be paralyzing in a game, now imagine when it's a real work!
I don't usually do memberships, but I've been a member for 1½ years. Akirose is brilliant. Especially the 3D Lives are absolutely amazing. Choreographies, song choices and their order.. she clearly puts a lot of effort into it. And hats off to all the members of the first generations. It must have been quite a leap into the unknown. And it required a lot of motivation to do this thing, especially in the beginning when the viewership numbers were what they were.
Aki has my most respect overcoming all those complications to now making the most amazing live musicals and having one of the most loyal fans all over the world
considering all the struggle Aki-chan have to go through in her early years, i'm glad that she can laugh at it right now, thank to the community for the overwhelming support, and thank to Aki for not giving up. . 😭😭
Aki should do a re-debut stream for laughs and just to have one in the history books for her current fans and new ones who want to get to know her before jumping in the rabbit hole.
1:24 Well... that's technically true It's incredible to learn (or re-learn) hololive's humble origins. A bunch of digital cartoon-like girls, with little to no experience in streaming or entertainment, scarse resources and working out of necessity or with a handful of dreams they wanted to fulfill. Their stories, ALL of them have much value and impact, each one of the girls still writing their own destinies. Look at them now. It's awe-inspiring to see them where they are.
Yeah, when Gen 1 came out the idea of Anime girls streaming things was a ridiculous idea that no one thought would get an audience outside of Japan. Doing what they did was a tremendous risk, and it's great that they're still around.
Matsuri has talked about how when they debuted they were largely left alone to do whatever they wanted. It sounds good for "FREEDOM!!" purposes, but it was probably really tough to make content out of complete nothing. Plus back then gaming streams weren't a thing, (Nijisanji's Tsukino Mito made that popular in the vtuber sphere) vtubers were legit youtubers, just virtual. So they did skits, talk streams and ASMR.
@@Nothingseen Yep. I know vtubers were a mega hard sell for me. Took me ages until I found out they were actual people streaming, not just YTP animations, and even then only Korone's famous soap clip won me over.
5 years of Aki and she’s got so much experience under her belt. The entire concept of debut’s have become so streamlined that stuff like Aki’s becomes a treasure to listen yo
I'm SO glad Aki stuck with it through all these hard times, even when she had one of the worst performing Hololive channels. The fans gave her a little boost. I remember her crying on stream when that happened. She's been through hard times, thats for sure... She's my favorite Hololive member (I just cant understand JP so I cant watch her).
I agree, she is still the lowest performer in Holo JP. If this was any other corpos she would have been booted, thankfully cover isn’t like that. She has a dedicated fan base and hoping she grows more each year. I hope her year is 2024 and reach that 1 million milestone.
They weren't sure how they wanted to handle gens and collabs back then either. Aki mentioned asking management for Sora's contact info, and they straight up told her no.
@@crestianomisse4613 Probably because they didn't want to violate anyone's privacy at the time. The girls all sorta did their own thing at the time and rarely collabed.
Even not specifically being Rosetai, I've heard her tell this story a couple times in a few places (if anyone wants a fuller version, check out clips of her appearance on Holostars' Arurandeisu's Izakaya ARN), and yet with so many of the JP Subatomos being shocked, it seems like there are a lot of Holo fans even on the JP side who are unaware of this, so everyone can appreciate how powerful she is! Anyway, all the way from her challenging beginnings. Aki now is really one of the most creative OBS users in HoloJP. It may be in small ways, like how the char looks, or events triggered by SCs, but her streams always have interesting visual and slightly experimental touches to it. Bonus: going from debut stream on an smartphone app to being synonymous with ARK, one of the heftier games out there!
Glad to know Nijisanji and Hololive have the same "shady" start 🤣🤣 Akirose walked so everyone could run, awww that's so sweet xD Shame we couldn't see her legendary debut stream 😢
It exists. It's saved on Archive site if you google Aki Rosenthal debut stream. It's a video mp4 of her debut stream that lasted about an hour or so. However, Archive currently is being attacked I think? So no idea if it's searchable right now, but rest assured someone did save and upload it, and more people downloaded it from that Archive page. I didn't since I just assumed nobody would go after that site for no reason lol.
I was surprised when I tried to watch her debut stream. I couldn't find it even in the wiki, the archive was deleted, I think. I wish she could do a "Debut" Stream, just for the sake of having one on YT.
Hololive really does feel grass roots sometimes. it’s amazing how far everything has come in a relatively short amount of time, both inside and outside of Hololive.
You to have a lot of respect for how streamers like Aki managed to get to where they are now. I don't think its easy now but back then just wow.... a 2018 smart phone....
Aki-chan a girl of focus, commitment and sheer will ! She once stream on a phone with lousy internet and it wasn't even on RUclips she was streaming in other platform!
2018 well enough said Vtuber 1st gen aside equipment still on development for use. Not to mention 3D seems more practical than 2D at the time try and error, only legends can say anything about that
Aki's model flaws are a sign of that (she's flatter than she should be, Aki Model update Doko?), though back then there wasn't much L2d experience as a whole.... now 5 years later we have l2ds like Nerissa's
Man, Aki had a rough upbringing, I remember when she was the lowest subscribed member and she just put so much passion regardless of the hate and the lack of views then that video exploded in the internet that made people sympathize a lot more with her and her channel started to get massive subscribers left and right, I have never stopped supporting her since the beginning! IF it was not for Matsuri I wouldn't have known about Aki.
@@ahdandimas6577 Back then Hololive didn't have as many subscribers or supporters and they had a lot of antis and they had to work really really hard to get new members, not like the newest generations today and if I remember correctly Aki was struggling with the 140K subscribers back then, I think Flare was just barely above Aki at 170K but even then Aki stagnated for a long time, I think she also had a car accident that made her fall behind with her generation so she was slowly being left behind. When Korone, Aqua and Fubuki were close to 800k subscribers back then. Most antis were Chinese, some JP's and others.
Aki needs to reach 1m subs tbh. She deserves it. She's been around long enough. I mean she's part of Gen 1. Mel got terminated before 1m subs. We never know what's gonna happen. A-chan retiring, Mio now has a serious health problem. We should show them love while they're around.
Yet there are still people who thinks that New Gen Debuting to 100k+ viewers is somehow Unfair for "Some" Vtubers, not knowing the History of Hololive and its Talents.
I believe Nijisanji's Tsukino Mito streamed on an old laptop placed on a washing machine. And now new talents are probably streaming on BEEFY PCs. Times really have changed.
@@Fishman465 Ye, AZKi even got into Geoguessr because it was one of few things her PC could run comfortably while streaming. Turns out she's a geography juicer, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Aki had such a hard time the first couple of years, it nearly broke her. Hospitalisation, demonetisation, AMSR bans, everything seemed stacked against her. Back in like 2020 maybe she did an emotional stream saying how she felt about being the least-subbed member of Hololive, some clip channel translated it, which was popular with EN viewers and she picked up ~20k subs overnight to take her over 200k I think it was, and that was a huge deal for her. It seems like such small numbers compared to what they have now but it obviously meant a lot at the time.
Back then, perception of Hololive to put it bluntly : " What the heck is this bootleg Nijisanji? " 2018 the year when word Vtuber starts to spread out and 3D Vtuber is the norm, Nijisanji came with an app for people to become a Vtuber with Live2D model and people questioning " why would I watch an hours of "stiff 2DVtuber when I can watch Expressive 3D neatly edited Vtuber video? ". Today is way different, so many bitter&sweet happened and I'm glad Hololive and all their talent pull through.

"They just suddenly sent me one smartphone, and told me, "Please start from tomorrow.""
Sounds like the start of a Vtuber survival game manga.
I remember reading a novel with that plot point on syosetu, fiction really does take inspiration from life
Aki-chan really pulled the "back in my day I had to walk 20 miles uphill in the snow both ways" on poor Shuba, lol
Back in my day, we had to walk 20 miles uphill, on both ways, and cross the amazon river while running away from mountain lions and crocodiles

Aki-chan a girl of focus, commitment and sheer will ! She once stream on a phone with lousy internet and it wasn't even on RUclips she was streaming in other platform!
2018 well enough said
Vtuber 1st gen aside equipment still on development for use. Not to mention 3D seems more practical than 2D at the time try and error, only legends can say anything about that
Aki's model flaws are a sign of that (she's flatter than she should be, Aki Model update Doko?), though back then there wasn't much L2d experience as a whole.... now 5 years later we have l2ds like Nerissa's
I can feel her struggle with the slow connection. :D
Aki walk so Kouhai can fly ❤
Aki-chan debut stream is like a dragon or a phoenix.. everyone know of it but none has ever seen it
Aki: “Between you and me…”
40k people: “interesting”
Early hololive debuts were WILD.
Man, Aki had a rough upbringing, I remember when she was the lowest subscribed member and she just put so much passion regardless of the hate and the lack of views then that video exploded in the internet that made people sympathize a lot more with her and her channel started to get massive subscribers left and right,
I have never stopped supporting her since the beginning! IF it was not for Matsuri I wouldn't have known about Aki.
That's why I usually stick with the underdog of each gen. It's always a good time when they burst into their deserved popularity.
Matsuri is the first Rosetai. Always fond of bringing Aki into things.
who the freak hating Akirose and for what reason,
@@ahdandimas6577 Back then Hololive didn't have as many subscribers or supporters and they had a lot of antis and they had to work really really hard to get new members, not like the newest generations today and if I remember correctly Aki was struggling with the 140K subscribers back then, I think Flare was just barely above Aki at 170K but even then Aki stagnated for a long time, I think she also had a car accident that made her fall behind with her generation so she was slowly being left behind.
When Korone, Aqua and Fubuki were close to 800k subscribers back then.
Most antis were Chinese, some JP's and others.
@@DaimonAnimations those people are disgusting
Aki needs to reach 1m subs tbh. She deserves it. She's been around long enough. I mean she's part of Gen 1. Mel got terminated before 1m subs. We never know what's gonna happen. A-chan retiring, Mio now has a serious health problem. We should show them love while they're around.
For those that are curious, here's how the Mirrativ streams were.... ruclips.net/video/SW06X_r-PB8/видео.htmlsi=5VRYmKeGFGedoHBI
I am so glad she never gave up
It's been said many times, but Hololive has come a long way. It's crazy how a bunch of little things added up to what Hololive is today.
Yes, we have the Mirrativ debut copy. It's there hidden in the wide internet.
Funny thing is, shubas cutest asmr voice is done through her smartphone trick
I have seen that debut and boy it was bad, not for Aki herself but the scuffness was of the charts
Imagine where Aki would be if she had a proper debut and hype built up around her at the start. Please support Aki
Aki deserves a redebut
Yet there are still people who thinks that New Gen Debuting to 100k+ viewers is somehow Unfair for "Some" Vtubers, not knowing the History of Hololive and its Talents.
I believe Nijisanji's Tsukino Mito streamed on an old laptop placed on a washing machine. And now new talents are probably streaming on BEEFY PCs.
Times really have changed.
Some of them like Ame and Botan have basically compact mainframes. Or even two rigs are once, one to game and the other to manage the stream.
Most, some like Sora and AZKi were behind computer wise due to their music focuses, though Sora got a beef PC recently
@@Fishman465
Ye, AZKi even got into Geoguessr because it was one of few things her PC could run comfortably while streaming. Turns out she's a geography juicer, and the rest, as they say, is history.
@@DinnerForkTongue and likely why she never streamed her RUST; do wonder if she's planning on upgrading
@@Fishman465 I sure hope so. If anything, it'll feed my pipe dream of her playing Kholat. lol
nice, akirose and subaru!
nice akirose origin story.
I wish I could have seen that debut
Streaming your debut on a smart phone is total hardcore!!! Aki really is amazing 😍😍😍
Aki had such a hard time the first couple of years, it nearly broke her. Hospitalisation, demonetisation, AMSR bans, everything seemed stacked against her. Back in like 2020 maybe she did an emotional stream saying how she felt about being the least-subbed member of Hololive, some clip channel translated it, which was popular with EN viewers and she picked up ~20k subs overnight to take her over 200k I think it was, and that was a huge deal for her. It seems like such small numbers compared to what they have now but it obviously meant a lot at the time.
"ASMR on a phone?! That IS crazy."
Said Subaru who also used a phone to do her noncursed ASMR voice.
Love Aki !! 💛💛💛💛💛
Back then, perception of Hololive to put it bluntly : " What the heck is this bootleg Nijisanji? " 2018 the year when word Vtuber starts to spread out and 3D Vtuber is the norm, Nijisanji came with an app for people to become a Vtuber with Live2D model and people questioning " why would I watch an hours of "stiff 2DVtuber when I can watch Expressive 3D neatly edited Vtuber video? ". Today is way different, so many bitter&sweet happened and I'm glad Hololive and all their talent pull through.
the fact she has no debut means she has been there from the beginnin of time sasuga aki
Love Her 3D concerts
Ironically, with the advancements of technology we have today, steaming using nothing but a smartphone is actually possible now, probably.
It's easy to find her OG debut stream, you just need to look very carefully as you browse the Web.
I love aki❤
the best jokes is your own history
