Aonahara Translations

It's been a tough week for us in Aonahara and the vtuber fandom at large. After losing Suzuhara Lulu yesterday, we soon lost another greatly loved fan favourite. We wished Lulu goodbye, seeking to express our love for her in our last video, and would now like to address the graduation of Kiryu Coco, who will always have a special place in the group members' hearts.

Let us have a moment of remembrance for the wonderful sailor mouth dragon idol who has done so much good for the Hololive and vtuber community as a whole. Much comes to mind, but in particular her ability to bridge the cultural and linguistic gap between the Japanese community and English-speaking overseas viewers has had a lasting impact that has helped bring forth strength in the community that otherwise may have never taken root. That doesn't fully encapsulate who Coco is or what she has accomplished, but it certainly is a part of what she's done that is an inspiration to channels like ours.

We know Coco is a strong-willed individual and will certainly continue to work hard and push beyond anything life throws at her, so let us find comfort and have confidence in the notion that she will succeed in whatever she does moving forward.

As for us in Aonahara, we find solace in having had the amazing opportunity to include our lovable dragon in our HoloRewind project, through which we ourselves were lucky to learn so much more about Coco and which will serve as a nice bundle of memories of her. What's more, there's a little bit of Coco in nearly every Aonahara video in the form of a slightly in-your-face "yeet".

Please continue to support Coco's friends and colleagues in Hololive so that we can all continue to nurture and partake in the fruit of what their labour and dedication has helped bring us—a great community and fantastic content that has managed to reach people all over the world.
