“Suggested: mayday,mayday · Testament from the Ashes · Everlasting Soul · Biri · Reaper vs Sheep (with Mori Calliope — there are 2 versions of this song. I have linked to the one with more English lyrics). Watame rocks SO HARD, and more people need to know about it. She has a lot of softer music in her catalogue too, but her heavier stuff is where it's at. And, as everyone knows, Watame did nothing wrong.”

“Suggested: Hour time yellow · Shunkan Heartbeat ReGLOSS is a 4 person hololive DEV_is idol group, their current members are Todoroki Hajime, Otonose Kanade, Ichijou Ririka and Juufuutei Raden. They also had another member Hiodoshi Ao who unfortunately graduated. Their songs are amazing with the two suggested being a must for the bundle, shunkan heartbeat was their debut single with all 5 of them while Tim enjoyed hour time yellow in the countdown way back when. This can be the bundle to introduce these girls, while secondary bundles for each girls own music will be fun later on”

“Suggested: Roboco - Demons banquet · Shiori Novella - Monsters and Men · Nekomata Okayu - Kamisama Nekosama · Kazama Iroha, Ayunda Risu, Juufuutei Raden - Bansaka / 晩餐歌 (Live cover from Countdown 2024->2025) · Takane Lui - Zig-Zag In this playlist I've gathered a selection of Hololive Vtubers that often sing in deeper voice registries. The cover of "Demons Banquet", originally sung by the male singer Tomonari Sora, has a low pitch and really highlights Robocos unique, raspy, voice. Monsters and Men is the first original song from Shiori Novella, genmate of Nerissa. Previous groupsongs often tried to force her up to a higher pitch, but this first original keeps her voice within her natural registry and helps highlight her gothic style. Kamisama Nekosama is an original song from Nekomata Okayu. The song uses a has a lot of pitch and tempo changes throughout. Bansaka was covered on the Countdown Live in 2024 and utilizes a wide registry from deep to high tones throughout. Zig-Zag is one of several Lui originals. She has a deep natural voice registry giving her more bass than a lot of female singers. This has been used to make a lot of original songs. Even though she has been self-concious of her voice in the past, joining Hololive has let her hone her craft and it has made a vibe of its own. Zig-zag is a good appetizer for her, but she really should be checked out closer.”

“Suggested: Wonky Monkey · Love Trial · Trouble “Wan”der! · Mafiosa · Doggy God’s Street She always has incredibly catchy beats in all of her songs. She may not put out a ton of music, but they’re always stuck in my head when I hear one of them. It is imperative that Wonky Monkey is the first song of the reaction.”

“Suggested: Violet · Meconopsis · Temari · Abyssal Hymn · Tako Takover Ninomae Ina'nis (AKA Ina) is "just a normal girl" who happens to control tentacles and be a priestess of the Ancient Ones. She debuted with Myth (Calliope, Gura, Kiara, Amelia) and is a cozy streamer and incredible artist. Her singing has come a long way, and her music covers a fair range of styles given she only has six originals. They also are all related to her lore, and the community has a good time trying to piece together the story she is telling”

“Suggested: Make it, Break it · PUNISHER · Good Enough · FG Roadster · 24K Gold They are a group focused more on rap than the previous Dev_IS group ReGLOSS”

“Suggested: I can't control myself · from a to z · Inochi (OG & 2024 version, lyrics are different) · FreeGeo · Mirai Campanella AZKi is the first vsinger of Hololive, and the songs picked are a mini-progression of her musical journey from 2018 in INoNaKa music (INNK) to Hololive. "I can't control myself" is from her then-persona AZKi Black, which was focused on more rock and faster songs / "from a to z" is from AZKi White, more softer and emotional songs "Inochi" in the OG version, is AZKi asking if her listeners will remember her after everything is over & how painful it'd be; in the 2024 version, she accepts if people won't remember, and the smiles she sees are enough AZKi announced during her 7th concert (in 2021) that she was originally supposed to end her activities (alongside INNK) in 2022, and she was going from Route Alpha to Route Beta.

“Suggested: I I I Love You · Hikari · Kimi To Akashita Yoru (with Tokoyami Towa) · Lioness Pride · Simulacre Shishiro Botan is my personal "Kami Oshi" or in english My All Time Favorite Vtuber. I personally like her due to her personality. However, I am requesting this due to how incredible all of these songs are. Personally, I only see this as scratching the surface and can see myself requesting more of her in the future. 🦁”

“Another "lost" Vtuber group originally planned to debut under VShojo before the company collapsed. Similar to Densetsu.EXE this group of "Monster Girl" Vtubers decided to stick together without the company. This cover of Monster by popular English producing Vocaloid artist Kira (one of Kira's most notable songs having currently 38 Million views on youtube) was released alongside the BEASTIEZ official debut in December of 2025. The BEASTIEZ include four members: Beribug (Beri) - A Ladybug, PiapiUFO (Pia) - A Slime Girl, Tori Oriane (Tori) - A Soul Ferryman of the Underworld, Kairyu Crocodile (Croc) - A Crocodile, Also Linked below is their introduction video as a quick get to know them.

“Suggested: Band-Maid - Puzzle · Lovebites - Holy War · Nemophila - DISSENSION · Hanabie - Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now · TRiDENT - Cry Out A celebration of the incredible amount of female talent in the Japanese rock/metal scene. There's so many bands to choose from but I've suggested 5 of the most popular currently active groups. Suggested playlist is linked”

“Suggested: Demons Banquet · Little Bit · Utsushiyo Alice - Present World Alice · Nai Nai · IRIS OUT Saw a bunch of comments on the Kobo deep dive about reacting to Roboco. Went and looked and didn’t see her suggested yet. I included the live versions of the songs that I could find. Don’t worry about the view counts on some of them. She has a crazy good breathy singing voice that is pretty deep for a girl. Her iris out cover is amazing.”

“Suggested: Hades - Scourge of the Furies · Hades - Lament of Orpheus · Hades 2 - Olympus Aflame · Hades 2 - Moonlight Guide Us · Hades 2 - The End of Time Live performance of Lament of Orpheus: https://youtu.be/fvGSQFZWcwM?t=4982&is=dfp9JNs-1T2tv7pH Live performance of Moonlight Guide Us: https://youtu.be/fvGSQFZWcwM?t=25&is=rPmj__kO-Jple7z The music of Hades is composed by Darren Korb (and Darren provides the vocals for my suggested song "Lament of Orpheus"). It's set in the world of Greek Mythology, with the characters either being Greek Gods or famous mythological figures. The premise of the first game is Zagreus (son of Hades) attempting to escape the underworld, while the second is Melinoe (daughter of Hades) attempting to break into the underworld which, years later, has been captured by Chronos, the Titan of Time. My final suggestion, End of Time, is one of Chronos' themes, and features drumming by Louis Cole and fittingly changeable time signatures for the Titan of Time.”

“Umamusume is a huge game series right now and the music is also really good. Lots of songs to choose from. Umamusume is a parallel universe where the horses of our world are born as horse girls (uma = horse; musume = girl). This series is even recognized by Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup. )”

“Story of Advent is a 5 song story about the Lore of HoloEN Gen3 Advent. The videos at the front and back are important as they explain the story. This is to learn their lore and enjoy their group music together. Original videos are simple lyric videos so I used fan made color coded lyric videos for ease of analysis.”

“Suggested: Glimpse of Us - Joji (Cover) · Expedition 33 - "Alicia" Cover · Butcher Vanity (Rock Version) · Love Me Dead - Ludo (Female Cover) · NO The Kill - 30STM (Female Cover) Cottontail is born and raised in Canada, where she lives. She has stated that she has grown-up with music and musicals. Cottontail is a 26‑year‑old singer with vocal abilities comparable to someone who has been performing for decades. I believe this deserves far more credit and recognition than she currently receives. She performe Live on stage often with an maske to hide her identity. This list is to show her range of music and vocals.She mainly focuses on songs in the rock and pop genres. There are many fantastic songs that should have been on this list, but when it comes to seeing Cottontail as a vocalist, I believe these provide a good summary of her vocal abilities. Under is link to the different songs. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaVCyA7A7sU&list=PLBAKm3WbuDpC-mbDCqRD-UQgfVPEXgjYJ&index=20 First pulished in 2021. This song showcases how truly remarkable her voice was alreday then. 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMTnv1UXGG8&list=PLBAKm3WbuDpC-mbDCqRD-UQgfVPEXgjYJ&index=4 Cottontail’s version of this song is amazing, especially because she sings it alone. It was released on 14. December 2025. In my opinion, the purpose of using this version is to show Cottontail’s vocal development from 2021 to 2025. 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYMGz1aRPDs&list=PLBAKm3WbuDpC-mbDCqRD-UQgfVPEXgjYJ&index=1 This one is chosen to showcase Cottontail’s varied vocals and her use of different vocal techniques. 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYal8NoVQXs I only found “Love Me Dead – Ludo (Female Cover)” on Cottontail’s music channel on YouTube. Once again, this is a music video where Cottontail showcases her absolutely amazing vocal techniques. 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MapTYDupcQ&list=PLBAKm3WbuDpC-mbDCqRD-UQgfVPEXgjYJ&index=7 We end this list with a fantastic version of The Kill by 30 STM. In this performance, Cottontail truly brings out the power and control she has over her own voice.”

“Suggested: Full Album - Zodiac Having just done a deep dive of some of Bae's more well known tracks, Tim seemed to really dig Bae's music and her vocals. So, I'd like to propose reacting to a listen through of her entire first album Zodiac, which shows off her range even more. It also includes collabs with Pekora, Korone and Watame. (also there's only 1 track of overlap, RxRxR, with what Tim has already heard of Bae) The playlist I've linked to is the one on Bae's channel, and includes links to MVs for the tracks that have them”

The two first connected when Hoshimachi Suisei featured as a guest vocalist on Taku Inoue's solo debut major track "3:12". Around the same time, Inoue was brought on to compose "Stellar Stellar", the title track for Suisei's breakout solo album Still Still Stellar. Building on the shared stylistic motifs of those early projects, they decided to officially formalize their partnership into a dedicated music unit to blend modern electronic/pop production with her powerhouse vocals.”

Making of Cyborg and the sequel film's theme (Ballade of Puppets) are native/Old Japanese, sung by a Japanese folk choir trained to sing in Bulgarian harmonies. The lyrics are a wedding song, representing the marriage of human and technology 3. Inner Universe is the opening theme to Season 1 of Stand Alone Complex, the first TV series. Sung by Origa, a Russian singer who got famous in Japan because of these theme songs 4. Anata wo Tomatsu Mono is the opening theme for Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs (basically direct-to-video) 5. GO GHOST is the opening theme of the currently airing TV anime”

“this is Taeyang’s (from Big Bang) most famous solo song. It is about longing for a past lover. Taeyang wrote this song while on a break with his girlfriend (she is the girl in the photo in the MV). Perhaps the song worked because they got back together and are now married with a son.”

“Suggested: Medicine (Cover) - https://youtu.be/Ta6Q7rxQQX0 · Everything I Wanted (Cover) - https://youtu.be/R_cJyovcVSw · Oblivion (Cover) (palate cleanser) - https://youtu.be/TTaXkDZuCHc · Quicksand (original) - https://youtu.be/G0Ssa-pz58Q You've seen the first and last songs in this bundle during Livestreams, the other two are new to you. They all feature the smooth, connected singing style that her fans adore and the three serious songs carry a lot of personal meaning for her. The non-serious song here is Oblivion, which she did just goofing around but which ended up being one of her most popular and beloved songs (much to her chagrin); I added it as a bit of a palate cleanser to break up the heaviness of the other choices. Note: Michi often writes a message to the audience in the description of her videos, and she links to the original song used for her covers there as well so it's easy to find. If you want to add a 5th song I suggest Nothing More (https://youtu.be/_JomDDB-y78) which is an original song she released a few months back with an active request on the app. One of her subathon rewards was an original song with the style and subject chosen by her community, and since she keeps giving us emotionally devastating music we asked for a light and happy love song to brighten the mood. :P”

“Suggested: HOLOTORI Dance! · Niccori^^Chousa-tai no Theme / Smile^^Investigation Team Theme (Cover) · Sekai / World (Cover) · HoloHawk (Group arrangement of Lui's own song) Holotori (holo + bird(s)) was a unit created by Takanashi Kiara consisting out of "all" the bird members of Hololive at the time. The group consist out of Kiara (phoenix), Oozora Subaru (duck), Pavolia Reine (peafowl), Nanashi Mumei (owl) and Takane Lui (hawk). Only Subaru is not canonically a bird but she became one because of a joke about her sounding like Donald Duck and fans gaslighting her. The unit is special for including a member from each international branch, having a strong theme, a great combination of voices and having great chemistry together. At some point after a lot of effort they got recognized by Hololive and became an official unit. A rare act for Hololive, most units are created by the agency instead of the members. Being recognized meant they would get support and resources for their projects. Sadly the support they were promised never materialized to the disappointment of the members. Mumei's graduation was the end of Holotori. With Mumei leaving they lost the motivation to continue and they haven't done anything together since. Nerissa being the acknowledged unofficial 6th member and intern of the group does offer an opportunity for a revival if they ever feel motivated again. They where only able to do 5 projects together. One original song (HOLOTORI Dance!) and 4 performances. This bundle includes the MV of their song and 3 of the 4 performances, the one left out is a performance of their song.”

“Suggested: NO.1· Valenti · Girls On Top · Only One · Better "BoA is regarded as one of South Korea's most influential singers and is widely referred to as the "Queen of K-pop," in recognition of her contributions to spearheading the Korean wave in Japan. BoA's success in the Japanese market has been deemed a catalyst for Japan's interest in Korean pop music beginning in the early 2000s. I tried to choose songs to best show how her music has changed over the years. NO.1 is one of the most popular songs. Valenti is an important song for her success in Japan. Girls On Top is a song that showcases her vocals more, Only One is her most popular song, and Better is one of her newest songs. Although I wonder if "better" or "forgive me" would be better.”

“Suggested: Monologue in a Row · Aishite Aishite Aishite · Dramaturgy · Traffic Jam · Sparkle Monologue in a Row is Izuru’s first original song and it leans heavily into Izuru’s background as a busker. Izuru did two versions of Aishite, an official cover and a karaoke version that someone clipped from his stream, I strongly recommend listening to the official cover as the karaoke version lacks the haunting vibe that the official cover has. Dramaturgy is not only Izuru’s first cover song it is also the first cover released by a Holostars member, so I thought it would be interesting to check it out. Traffic Jam is honestly just an excuse to listen to some rock music. Sparkle is from a karaoke stream and it is just a very soft and chill song to listen to.”

“We will get a deep dive study ready for you on discord when it is needed. She is a crazy talented and fun singer. She is way more than just her “Po” song that you reacted to.”

“Suggested: Waltz of Storyteller · The Heart of Sirius · Ambivalent · Heat Abnormal (Cover) · Ambivalent · A Doll of Lapis · ARCADIA Isekaijoucho (ee-seh-kah-ee-joh-choh), a VSinger from Kamitsubaki Studio, debuted in February of 2020 and has since made quite the name for herself within the field, amassing over 500 thousand subscribers in a little over 6 years. Her voice is often described as calm and ethereal, and she has an incredibly consistent tone throughout her songs. During her early years, she was strongly considered as a "Virtual Dark Singer”, and although this is still true, she has since mastered her versatility as a singer, and has been shown to be able to show a wide range of emotions and performances, from complex VOCALOID songs such as “Heat Abnormal” to incredibly high energy iconic songs such as “Internet YAMERO” to emotional ballads such as her original song “Sirius no Shinzou” (Sirius's Heart).”

“Onew is the leader (oldest) of SHINee.”

“Lucky Loud is incredibly upbeat and positive with one of the more catchy choruses I've heard recently. This really showcases how well ReGLOSS work well together. Every member is especially talented in their own right, and when they come together, it's memorable and really just downright fun. ReGLOSS is a branch of Hololive Dev_IS, and from the official website: "With a focus on singing and dancing, they aim to repaint the world and give it a new gloss." The group consists of Juufuutei Raden (who just made Forbes Japan's 30 under 30 2026!), Otonose Kanade, Todoroki Hajime, and Ichijou Ririka.”

“Roboco is often presented as one of the more unique voices in Hololive. Where other members often show a high peak and have bright voices, her voice is more raspy and deep. In "Little bit" she uses a lot of her signature husky vocal fry with a lot of tempo changes making for an interesting track.”

“Suggested: Usseewa by Pavolia Reine · Odo by Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame · Show by Inugami Korone · New Genesis by Mint Fatome (karaoke) · Aishite Aishite Aishite by Ironmouse Tim has mentioned a few times now how Ado was his gateway into so much of the Jpop/VTubver/Vocaloid stuff he's so immersed in these days, so I thought it might be fun to do a bundle study of VTubers covering Ado tracks (I know Aishite, Aishite, Aishite isn't an Ado original, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people think of her version as being one of, if not the definitive version). I've also included a mix of Hololive and non Hololive in my suggestions”

“Watame is one of my favorite Hololive JP artists that you haven't checked out yet. This song is both incredibly emotional yet upbeat and empowering. It is deeply personal and tells a lot about her journey, her struggles, and her perseverance. I do hope you get to hear this and more of her; she has so much variety in music and is an incredible singer and creator”

I'd love to know more about the growl she uses to round out or steer her phrasing (I can't explain it), you'll hear it in the first 10 seconds of the video and several times after. Whatever it is I love it.”

“When ERB was asked which Hololiver she most wanted to collaborate with, she answered Roboco due to her husky deep female voice. This collab was made into reality when Roboco invited ERB to her 3D-live in 2025. The 3D-live happened before ERB got her 3D-model, so she is using her 2D-model in a movable pictureframe.”

Charybdis) Scylla and the Sirens is a three-piece rock band and the final encounter in Oceanus, the second region in Melinoë's descent toward Chronos. They sing the ambient music for the area as well as their own boss music while you fight them and the tracks change based on how the fight is progressing: if you knock out one of the band members, their part is dropped from the song and Scylla's vocals become muffled whenever her shell is closed. In the second phase of the fight, one of the three is designated as the "Featured Artist" and they receive a buff for the remainder of the fight.”

As a huge Macross fan, I’d love to see you do a deep dive into the franchise. In this universe, songs literally save the galaxy, so the music is a huge deal and the singing is next-level. It would be awesome to get your reactions. The songs go from pretty 80s pop to wild 90s rock and crazy-fast modern group harmonies. Epic Duets: In Macross Frontier, they pair a super light, cute voice with a powerful, heavy belter. Hearing them blast off together in the song Lion gives me chills every time! Note - Gave you the in anime name of the bands / artists but can provide real artists names if needed. Thank you for your consideration.”

“Suggested: DICE · O (Circle) · 매력 (beat drum) · Winner · TOUGH LOVE The leader of SHINee, and we still haven’t heard his solo work yet! These are all title tracks (and in chronological order). I did not suggest Animals because while I *love* it, the song doesn’t do much to show off his voice/musicality like the others do.”

“Suggested: Jasmine Flower / 茉莉花 · The Flowing Stream / 小河淌水 · Driving the Pack Animals / 赶牲灵 · Pastoral Song / 牧歌 · Kangding Love Song / 康定情歌 China has an enormous variety of folk-music traditions shaped by different regions, landscapes, languages, ethnic groups, and local ways of life. For this bundle, I chose five well-known songs from different parts of China. The performances are modern stage interpretations rather than archival field recordings, but each preserves a recognizable part of its regional musical character. 1. “Jasmine Flower” (茉莉花) — Jiangsu Folk Song https://youtu.be/y7hdZ5rYd2E?is=Ib8YFt1Hjb41QjyV “Jasmine Flower” is probably one of the most internationally recognizable Chinese folk melodies. The well-known Jiangsu version is graceful, delicate, and flowing, reflecting an aesthetic often associated with the Jiangnan region of eastern China. 2. “The Flowing Stream” (小河淌水) — Yunnan Folk Song https://youtu.be/1hP4qLRi37U?is=NfwkP1DleUu1IPJ6 Originating from Midu in Yunnan, “The Flowing Stream” is a mountain love song built around the image of a young woman calling to her lover across the landscape under the moonlight. 3. “Driving the Pack Animals” (赶牲灵) — Northern Shaanxi Folk Song https://youtu.be/bAOx1NWgtuQ?is=pTn4wK6_Svn6g8Op This song belongs to the Xintianyou folk tradition of northern Shaanxi, a region shaped by the vast and rugged Loess Plateau. The vocal character is almost the opposite of “Jasmine Flower”: open, direct, high, and designed to carry across great distances. 4. “Pastoral Song” (牧歌) — Inner Mongolian Folk Song https://youtu.be/-SXM4mxeyY0?is=OuoGolAXQludfDye “Pastoral Song” represents the expansive musical world associated with the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Its slow pace, long melodic lines, and sustained notes create an extraordinary feeling of openness—as though the voice itself is stretching across the horizon. 5. “Kangding Love Song” (康定情歌) — Sichuan / Kangding https://youtu.be/K6VhJlESchM?is=OZsqhbnOK8Tdb0XU “Kangding Love Song” is one of China's best-known folk-derived love songs, associated with Kangding in western Sichuan, a cultural crossroads between Tibetan and Han communities.”
