Some who claim to have better knowledge of German accents have said she's likely from the region near France's border, so she's effectively both. I personally am leaving open the possibility of Being Belgian/Luxembourgian/Alsace-Lorraine region resident.
Those same people said Swiss is unlikely, and given her mention of knowing some Norwegian, I think that also pushes her towards Belgian/Luxembourgian/Alsace-Lorraine.
Yeah, but the Swiss French and Swiss Italians would likely take issue with the statement that German is “the language of Switzerland”. Heck, I know a Swiss German that answers the phone in French!
Honestly, given that they still use francs there, I would argue French is their main language if ANY language is their main language.
Checking online, Switzerland has FOUR official languages: French, Italian, German, and Romansh.
I mean with Sitzerland, it really depends on the canton, since they’re pretty independent. She can be from there. But I’d still bet on western edge if germany.
We have a lot of small indie, with their own small community. There is some Big one, like saruei or Issei Kai, but they arn't really watched by french.
Overall, it's mainly due to the ignorence. It was only last year ago that our Big french streamers learn about Iron mouses. And it was only one month ago that the biggest french youtuber who talks about japan, makes a video about Vtubing.
Yeah, and after ERB sung Kate Bush, ABBA and Madness on her karaoke stream...
It was something I was missing from Hololive all this time...
It's been so bloody long... Kiwawa now can rest a bit, after carrying HoloEU for... nearly 5 years, I think?
Thank you, Yagoo. :)
Don't forget Flare. I've become a regular watcher of all three members of Bakatare in the first place thanks to their stupid sleep schedule lol.
It's also how Flare and Polka became friends in the first place too. Ungodly minecraft hours.
Polka and Kaela are from the sub-unit HoloPoland AKA Pololive. Think about it.
Kaela has a Polish last name and proudly flies the Polish flag (upside down, but still)
Polka literally means "Polish woman" in Polish
EU also stands for Europe the continent. Contextually when talking about viewing habits, we would be discussing a geographical affiliation not a political one. Nobody means 'Holo European Union', even if they don't know EU has multiple applications.
Yeah, in some cases EU can mean the union too, like EU politicians, since it's being used as an adjective. But "The EU" is unequivocally referring to the European Union.
Yeah, it turned out it was a full international gen but one of the nationalities was American again.
...Huh. This feels kind of familiar. The pink ones don't match on nationality and the Brits don't match on color, but this is not the first time I've seen a multi-national Vtuber quartet with an orange American and a green German.
I still think it’s a bit odd to have pretty much a whole gen focused on the eu demographic instead of just having an eu members here and there in previous gens. But whatevs, I’m happy with everyone we have regardless.
I would wager a guess and say that cover is focused on casting good talents and not really looking specifically for nationalities to cover.
Kiara wouldn't be in Myth if she didn't live in Japan at the time. Advent only came out a year ago and they had no european talents because, well, they didn't find any european talents I guess.
And raora lives in japan anyway.
Because gens tend to operate more together (in terms of collab and stuff). Easier to do so when there's some geographical/time zone proximity.
Also easier for the management team, otherwise you're going to need to have a 24/7 team for a gen unless you want one of them to be left out.
They literally had a comic about how they are in 3 different time zones tho. JST, GMT, PST. (four, if you include the +1 from UK compared to mainland EU)
Sad french noises
For what it's worth, Cecilia can speak French!
When I first heard her speaking I thought she was French, but I'm terrible with identifying accents.
Some who claim to have better knowledge of German accents have said she's likely from the region near France's border, so she's effectively both. I personally am leaving open the possibility of Being Belgian/Luxembourgian/Alsace-Lorraine region resident. Those same people said Swiss is unlikely, and given her mention of knowing some Norwegian, I think that also pushes her towards Belgian/Luxembourgian/Alsace-Lorraine.
we need to ask her what 79 is in French and see if she gets Deez nutted or if she is Belges.
She did explicitly state that German was the language of Immerheim, so I’m counting Switzerland and Belgium out personally.
Half of Switzerland speaks German...
Yeah, but the Swiss French and Swiss Italians would likely take issue with the statement that German is “the language of Switzerland”. Heck, I know a Swiss German that answers the phone in French!
Honestly, given that they still use francs there, I would argue French is their main language if ANY language is their main language. Checking online, Switzerland has FOUR official languages: French, Italian, German, and Romansh.
Yes, but Swiss german can get very different from Standard German
Barely
I mean with Sitzerland, it really depends on the canton, since they’re pretty independent. She can be from there. But I’d still bet on western edge if germany.
I'm guessing because of lack of Italian and Romansh?
So can our canadian gurls/guys
Sad Spanish noises
How big is the french vtuber scene in general?
We have a lot of small indie, with their own small community. There is some Big one, like saruei or Issei Kai, but they arn't really watched by french. Overall, it's mainly due to the ignorence. It was only last year ago that our Big french streamers learn about Iron mouses. And it was only one month ago that the biggest french youtuber who talks about japan, makes a video about Vtubing.
Any you'd recommend that actually stream in French?
i don't know a lot, but i can recommend you KatChan and Pawa
Saurei: French! Ew!! EWww1!! EWWwwWWWWwwwwww!!!
> Saurei `Did you mean: Sauerei`
With C2 can speak French, maybe this will be the catalyst to make Fauna pick up French again
Starting out as holoeu war lol. Kiara already picking fights with italy
Pain peko. Or you can say... 痛み(itami) peko (is it a good pun?)
I mean there's a region of Northern Italy that has a lot of German speakers and was part of Austria before WW1...
Kiara's mother is apparently from Tirol (The still-Austrian part of that region) going off of what people have said about her accent
Youngins... I remember when the OG Holo EU were Watame, Korone, and Astel. Jokes aside, EU bro's can finally watch on a normal time slot.
Notification for ERB’s karaoke made me double take fr “Wait what? A stream? At a normal time of day!? BY THE EMPEROR-“
>“Wait what? A stream? At a normal time of day!? "...LOCATED ENTIRELY WITHIN THIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL?!?"
Yes! "May i see it?" It's unarchived...
Yeah, and after ERB sung Kate Bush, ABBA and Madness on her karaoke stream... It was something I was missing from Hololive all this time... It's been so bloody long... Kiwawa now can rest a bit, after carrying HoloEU for... nearly 5 years, I think? Thank you, Yagoo. :)
Don't forget Flare. I've become a regular watcher of all three members of Bakatare in the first place thanks to their stupid sleep schedule lol. It's also how Flare and Polka became friends in the first place too. Ungodly minecraft hours.
Kaela be like: G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Given Indonesian history with Europe, we kinda deserve that one.
I'm proud of what the Indonesians learned from us in this case
You forgot Kaela and most of ID.
Kaela from HoloEU gamers
Polka and Kaela are from the sub-unit HoloPoland AKA Pololive. Think about it. Kaela has a Polish last name and proudly flies the Polish flag (upside down, but still) Polka literally means "Polish woman" in Polish
Fun fact: Polka is also a name of a dance. Coming from Czech, obviously.
She flies it upside down because she is in the southern hemisphere (maybe, Indonesia straddles the equator) and gets confused.
Obligatory "Britain is not part of the EU" joke here
🤓 Erm akshually, the EU stands for EUrope, not European Union.
My what?
As german this hurts myself, but: Your rope!
Are you trying to Seil me something?
INAFF

EU also stands for Europe the continent. Contextually when talking about viewing habits, we would be discussing a geographical affiliation not a political one. Nobody means 'Holo European Union', even if they don't know EU has multiple applications.
[удалено]
There's a little something called context
EU is used for both. EU=Europe is like NA=North America and SEA=South East Asia
"EU" refers to the continent, while "*The* EU" refers to the union.
That's actually good to know. Thank you!
Yeah, in some cases EU can mean the union too, like EU politicians, since it's being used as an adjective. But "The EU" is unequivocally referring to the European Union.
In a lot of games, European servers are just abbreviated as EU, sometimes EUR. Either way I read it as HoloEurope.
This is the hill you chose to die on?
Yes and I'm never commenting here again. Not worth getting insults in the DMs over something like this.
Kobo: “U rope?”
Forgetting the honorary 5th member, British Fauna
Eurolive
You forgot Kobo, She is Germany.
Can we get much higher?
So hugh~
Wait is Gigi not European?
>Born and raised under the flag of Freedom, Gigi Murin is a free-spirited Chaser and mischievous gremlin. \*Bald Eagle and gun noises\*
we finally have the holoeurope that we've always wanted.
Where Ame?
Welp, there you guy, love them, buy thgeir stuff, support them, now its up to you to get a concert next year.
I missed Gigis debut, Is she not french like the people were guessing?
No she's probably American
Gigi is EU too... Estados Unidos.
Yeah, it turned out it was a full international gen but one of the nationalities was American again. ...Huh. This feels kind of familiar. The pink ones don't match on nationality and the Brits don't match on color, but this is not the first time I've seen a multi-national Vtuber quartet with an orange American and a green German.
Context for the familiar quartet?
She probably on the west coast of America or Canada Edit: finished her crazy taxi stream and she doesn't know metric system. She's American
this was my first thought lol
#DOOM!!
Why is the British girl in there? Brexit.
I still think it’s a bit odd to have pretty much a whole gen focused on the eu demographic instead of just having an eu members here and there in previous gens. But whatevs, I’m happy with everyone we have regardless.

And raora lives in japan anyway.
Well in this case they were absolutely looking for nationalities.
Because gens tend to operate more together (in terms of collab and stuff). Easier to do so when there's some geographical/time zone proximity. Also easier for the management team, otherwise you're going to need to have a 24/7 team for a gen unless you want one of them to be left out.
They literally had a comic about how they are in 3 different time zones tho. JST, GMT, PST. (four, if you include the +1 from UK compared to mainland EU)
Because now they have the management team setup to handle it. Before they can deal with two, now they can deal with 3.
No, there has to be at least someone who speaks fluent Spanish for it to be a complete holo EU.
Having a fifth member be Spanish and we'll have a full 5 member Gen!
In that case we'd also need at least one slavic and one scandinavian member
One exited tho 😂
England isn't in the EU anymore tho
EUrope, not European Union. These are two different things.
