We watch the ball drop while counting down, toast, yell "Happy New Year" if we're single, or kiss if we're a couple. The show before the ball drop also involves a mini concert with a variety of musicians of varying degree of quality depending upon which channel you're watching, and there are fireworks. That's pretty much it. No shrine visits or watching the first sunrise like in Japan. Black-eyed peas are a traditional New Year's Day food in some Southern regions.
@@graycap111b It occasionally happens but it's generally rare and only happens at some bars, events, or parties where the vibes are energetic, probably drunk, and most are around the same age. I think Bae thinks this happens more often than it actually does because of Hollywood shows like Friends or The O.C. lol
I thought the kiss was just for couples too lol Here in South America, after the countdown everyone cheers, then hugs their loved ones/anyone close, and then dance a lot and get wasted.
They forgot the best part, which is where right after yelling happy new years you bang together your pots and pans outside your house as loudly as possible.
Real world: Countdown, ball, toasts, otoshidama, hinode. Hololive World: An exploding fireworks ball in the middle of NYC and the entire nation of Japan trying to knock the Earth off its axis.
New Year's Eve is a huge party here in Australia, with massive fireworks displays in Sydney and Melbourne. Many people watch the TV broadcast of the spectacular fireworks on Sydney Harbour. However, New Year's Day itself is not really taken as seriously as it is in Japan.
The fireworks happen all over, you can look up compilations of the fireworks shows as midnight strikes in every major city. As a kiwi, whenever I'm free when it's about to hit the hour at any point on New Year's, I'll look up the fireworks show for the biggest city in whichever timezone is about to hit midnight.
Yeah, must be a new thing. All I've seen anyone talk about is getting money (otoshidama), eating some weird food, and going to see the first sun rise at a local shrine.
I've heard the kissing was more common inside bars/clubs or the new york square. I've also heard Nina from NijiEN also experienced it quite alot during her times as a waitress. And for the most part its lip peck.
On the kissing, it's not a thing everyone does, but if you're in a relationship, you may do it. I believe the thought is "Start the year doing something you want to keep doing all year." Thus, if you're kissing your significant other? It's intended originally as a statement. That's why I'm usually asleep at the turn of the year. That's what I want to be doing all year. :p
In Filipino Tradition, we jump to gain height because we are very short people. It's one of the other odd things we do like eating grapes and eggs while jumping with coins in our pocket.
As a New Yorker, we don't do that. Besides, everyone in Times Square is a tourist. It's normally 15 F- 20 F (not recently...), people get stabbed and nobody notices. Cops control entrances, it's just a pain in the butt.
I feel like its been used in enough movies too where most people would know about it. And they always show things like people counting down in other countries too.

I think Lui made it her mission to be friends with every single member of Hololive when she joined and the crazy part is she actually did it
Well holox is a fan of hololive before they joined, ofcourse you wanna get close to your oshi

I had a feeling Bae was trolling with the kiss part.

@@graycap111b It's not the first I've heard of it, but it's not a, "You'll have bad luck if you don't do it," kind of thing.
One thing I really love about Hololive, different cultures coming together and learning about each other!
"MOUSE TO MOUSE!" Bae needs to find her doppelganger to kiss.
I thought the kiss was just for couples too lol Here in South America, after the countdown everyone cheers, then hugs their loved ones/anyone close, and then dance a lot and get wasted.
It is a couples thing. Nobody is randomly kissing strangers unless they are very drunk, which is also a possibility.
@Duelin' well Fauna said see just assumed, and I reckon the other two were kinda rolling with it to troll JP lol
They forgot the best part, which is where right after yelling happy new years you bang together your pots and pans outside your house as loudly as possible.
The culture shock intensifies even further for the holomen in both the EN and JP sides
Doesn't help that neither side seems particularly great at describing what happens on New Year's, lol.
Noel : "Let's move to America, Subaru Senpai !!!!"
2:23 Shuba got that "th" sound down, its a good thing she didn't mispronounce "earth" like some other holo girls...

Auld Lang Syne is traditionally played as soon as the New Year starts as well.
It's usually kissing your partner if you're in a relationship, but if it's a party or you're drunk it may include strangers.

Woah kissing on new year's eve... That's something we don't do over here, at most we do a toast and light up tons of fireworks
The kissing happens, but it's only the more wild party scenes that do it with strangers lol. Everyone else only does it if they have a partner.
I'm not Japanese and am just as confused as Subaru and Lui, but tbh compared to that side of the world celebrations everywhere are mild af.
I feel that if the jumping thing was a real mainstream tradition i would have heard of it in any explanation i've listened to of New Years in Japan.
Yeah, must be a new thing. All I've seen anyone talk about is getting money (otoshidama), eating some weird food, and going to see the first sun rise at a local shrine.
I have a habit of making a thumbs up then going back to whatever I was doing. If I wasn't asleep already
As a not New Yorker, I've never heard of the kissing tradition. I know about the ball from Futurama though.
Their English are so good
KINTAMA😂

Some people do a lip peck while others are making out with strangers.
drop ball?! must be otoshidama. xD
No one here to appreciate just how bad a pun that is, lol.
Typically you know before hand if you will be kissing someone at midnight.

Maybe jumping is an asian culture? Cuz in our country we jump as well
In Filipino Tradition, we jump to gain height because we are very short people. It's one of the other odd things we do like eating grapes and eggs while jumping with coins in our pocket.
Interesting, never heard of the ball or kissing tradition. Over here, people just injure themselves with fireworks and get shitfaced 👌
Oh we have that too
As a New Yorker, we don't do that. Besides, everyone in Times Square is a tourist. It's normally 15 F- 20 F (not recently...), people get stabbed and nobody notices. Cops control entrances, it's just a pain in the butt.
i'm convinced baelz is 12, i'm not american and i and most of the world know of the new years ball
I feel like its been used in enough movies too where most people would know about it. And they always show things like people counting down in other countries too.
Gura , mumei and Pomu should Collab once !! 😝
No wonder Japan has so many earthquakes, they all start jumping whenever they celebrate.
If you’re at a New Years party you might kiss a random person, I almost did
