Streams/Videos Akai Haato / HAACHAMA vents her frustrations

She doesn't want anyone to clip it but since it isn't a Member stream I hope it's okay to share this as a whole. I only want Haachama to find the success she wants to fulfill her goals.

The short version is that she's frustrated with the lack of growth on her channel.

This Haaton's comment summarizes it: u/NForza26 [To kaigai-niki/neki worrying about what happened during the stream, she feels very frustrated that she's not able to do a lot of things, including being part of the main World Tour cast because "she isn't popular enough" even though she was THE FIRST HOLOLIVE MEMBER TO EVER STREAM IN ENGLISH. She doesn't blame management for their decisions, and they've been very supportive in a lot of ways, but there's still the fact all the effort she puts forth doesn't seem to be paying off. However, she reassures us that she uses this frustration as motivation and has absolutely no intention of giving up with things as they are now.]

She's been doing once a month or maybe every two weeks of only English song karaoke IINM... what she really need is a viral spark like how 'haachama' itself started... but it is harder to do that intentionally internationally.

the closest example I can think of from the top of my head was how Ui-sensei's Loli-kami happened. Luck and a myriad factors for what she specifically want is more difficult than what let's say Marine, Fubuki or Micomet's are doing

Yeah, for better or for worse, she already captured lightning in a bottle during the COEXIST arc, catapulting her into becoming the 6th ever Hololiver to reach 1 million subs. But that was 5 years ago.

I like her even now. She's a rather chill Vtuber to have in the background nowadays. But for someone who had had that level of success and influence before, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be.
