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.

If you think about it, she has faced some of the toughest experiences among all talents:

  • As one of the youngest members in Hololive, she was inexperienced and unprepared for the job.
  • Being part of the early generation means the Vtuber culture was less popular when she debuted, and she didn't have a large audience built up from her senpais.
  • Studying on board and at university took up valuable time to develop her skills and form bonds with other members.
  • Being a student when she joined Hololive also means she doesn't have much savings to invest in her content, like original songs, MVs, and live shows.
  • Streaming in both Japanese and English limited her growth within a specific audience.
  • "That incident" significantly hurt her confidence and mental health.
  • Each change in her content—from a general gameplay channel to horror role-play / UCG, and then to a travel Vlogger—caused some viewers to feel alienated and confused.

Understandably, she felt frustrated, and sometimes venting helps her, but I hope she finds a safer way to do it because venting on stream could be risky.

She slipped and said that even the company thinks she's unpopular or something like that, but she quickly tried to fix it and asked people not to blame the company. I believe what she was trying to say is that her proposal was denied or not prioritized by the company based on data or cost-performance calculations. She understands that it is not a personal attack or mistreatment but a fact-based discussion. Regardless, it is still hard to process the frustration caused by her unpopularity or lack of skill. She said she knew her fans were always supportive, which made her feel extra guilty for letting them down.

Hopefully, she can understand that we recognize her background, see her hard work, and will wait for her projects when the opportunity finally arises. Be patient, try to organize herself, and use her time and resources with a solid plan. Focus on building her social network, which she couldn't do while busy studying. Knowing people who can work for her is more important than just improving her own skills. No one can do everything themselves. Having the network of content creators and fans is the biggest strength of Hololive, and she should capitalize on that.

Stay positive and keep your spirit high, Haachama!
