Towa-sama deciding to just play what she feels like in the moment makes me feel really happy that she's putting herself first! Towa-sama being happy makes us kenzoku happy!

My my pace is honestly one of my favorite things about Towa. She stays true to her heart. I'm really happy kenzoku grew to be so kind and supportive of her to let her be able to spread her wings in the way she has. Also, I really love whenever she plays those artsy indie games. She always gets so invested that it's just fun to see her so immersed in the game. A side of hers that we would never be able to see if she only chased numbers.

I am so happy that Towa and I share the same views about streaming and content creation in general: making stuff you find fun and sharing it to the world. This clip makes me thankful that the person I chose as my oshi could care less about numbers and more about what makes her happy as she streams. I do understand the dillemma between playing and enjoying the game you have and engaging with viewers, but I think she underestimates how much her reactions alone can already put Kenzokus in coma from diabetes, not to mention she is a skilled player in games like APEX and that display of skill is mesmerizing. Remember, content creation is all about sharing what you love to the world. Never forget that, and you'll be able to find the creators you will support in your own little ways.

I've been a kenzoku from the start and i can agree there is a lot of adults and warm persons around the fandom. Is like, we are there enjoying what she does and saying "you are doing good sweetie" while, everyone i around each other living their lives and sharing their toughs with each other.

I understand that some people think that "doing this or that will make Towa-sama popular" thing, but the Towa-sama whos enjoying herself is the best. Sure, we see how she is when she pushes herself to play some games, and that's kinda entertaining too, but when she feels sad or frustrated about it, it makes us sad too. We can also see how much she wanna show us her results too, like having zatsu and talk about her recent 3D, or her cover, or even hologra. And she looks like she's having so much fun when telling us how much she grows. It's like watching your lil sis grow up, ya know. Isn't it the best when she's smiling and having fun with everyone?

I'm glad Towa is doing her best to take it easy and do what she enjoys/what's best for her. It's always weird people care about views and numbers almost more than the streamer does. I never understand why people compare view counts, sub counts or superchat numbers, I'm just here to watch a streamer have some fun doing whatever lmao. Thanks for the subs!

I feel like Towa having fun with what she wants to do and who she wants to do it with brings the best out of her. As a Kenzoku if she is having fun then the stream is fun and I feel like thats what its all about.

Watching Vtubers do what they enjoy most makes for the best content because you can kinda feel if they enjoy it or not. Great goal! I hope Towasama can reavh the goal of taking it easy and having fun.

Fingers crossed that she manages to get the 3D studio reserved, it seems like a very fun idea.

When she was playing games like TOEM and Tokimeki Memorial (games you could tell she was having fun with) last year I saw a few of those people only talking about numbers on Twitter saying how her recent streams "didn't even reach 10k viewer" and telling her to play popular games instead. They also usually mentioned 5ch and similar places and how people there were making fun of her for it in their tweets. So yeeeeah...

Don't worry about Numbers, Towa. It takes the fun out of streaming.

Having a manifesto of playing what you want is important, IMO. Numbers come and go and aren't everything that matters. I've seen too many content creators chase an audience just to get disillusioned and burnt out, and I've never seen them really come back from it. So yeah. Doing what you wanna in the stream should be pretty high up there in the reason you're doing the stream to begin with, y'know.

I would watch for the streamer, no matter what they want to do for the day's stream. Bonus if I love the game they're playing at the moment.

It's best when people can play what they want. Their joy is our joy.

PERFECT! I'm not a Kenzoku, though I respect Towa very much(as well as all holomembers), that Towa's mindset here should apply to every streamer as well as the viewers. Streaming should be perceived more like a hobby rather a job, even if your job does require streaming. That way of thinking not only makes streaming way easier, it also maintains your mental health and turns your content into something more enjoyable for the viewers. On the viewers' side though, no one should feel entitled to watch what they don't feel like at the moment. If you feel like watching something else, or doing something else, just go. Come back when you actually wish to, don't force yourself on your oshi's behalf. He/She wouldn't want that. Also, STOP BACKSEATING, will ya?!

It's more fun to watch someone play something they enjoy, than something that's popular but a chore to them. It shows when they're playing it.

real kenzoku are like to watch towa happy!

What towa said is just simply watch the stream you want to watch, if you don't like the game or the way they playing just don't watch it, the good thing about hololive is there many people and streams to choose to watch from. That why towa can keep at her own pace and we will love her just fine as kenzoku, if you truly like her you will stick with her

One of the reasons why i love Towa-sama's content is that many times one doesn't know what she is going to play, it is a surprise whenever she is not streaming Apex.

Towa Sama is so precious ❤️

Playing games just for the views and subs can be pretty counteracting in the long run as it will definitely burn out the streamer. Glad that Towa-sama made it clear to all that she will only play games for fun.

It's important to enjoy what you do in life, not chasing numbers!

Based TMT. I will watch my oshi stream anything, same goes for anybody.

I just want to hear Towa-sama voice...

Looks like the dance teachers are gonna need their own 3ds and we doing dance lessons lol

Just don't backseat her. It's more fun to see her beg for chat's help, when the time come. Like Getting Over It. Best decision ever.

We have people backseating HOW to play games, and now we have people backseating WHAT games to play... man, some "fans" just take it too much these days... Kudos to TMD for telling this people off.

Most Holo fans have arrived to the point where we can recognize if the talent actually enjoyed the game or not. If you forced them to do something they are not in mood to do, you will not find any entertainment from it. Trust the talent to manage their own content.

I guess that person is new to the family. We let Towa sama play the game, and we enjoy her gameplay. Unless she Ask for help we enjoying the Show*.

People backseating is quite getting out of hand. Though I'm guilty of it sometimes. But won't force it. I hope she have fun in games she like.

I love when she refers to herself as Towa Chama

This is exactly what I want to hear from the Holos. Goodness knows I'm not a fan of any of the games she mentioned, but if playing them makes her happy, I sure as hell want her playing them.

some people just don’t want to be happy just best to ignore them a do you. i used to try to watch every stream from the Vtubers but eventually i ended up subscribing to so many i really couldn’t do that realistically, also because i realized if i’m not enjoying watching what they are doing at the moment i’m just going to end up resenting them. maybe that’s what happened to these poor folks, it really is ok to skip a stream guy’s.

I'd never backseat Towa because she's one of my favorites Hololive JP members and I'd be lucky to catch a stream. My timezone is like 12-14 hours apart so I almost always miss a Towa stream so they're a lot more precious to me compared to a stream from Luna and Watame(no offense to them since I love their streams too). Tl;Dr Schedules are the reason why I don't watch Towa a lot so I'd watch her regardless of what games she plays

I like Towa for playing any game she wants not based on which game would get her more views! Especially that GOI streams was very painful I just brute forced myself to watching those 😭😭😭

I wonder how many % of the viewer so said they want to see her dance lession actually just want to see the centaur ass incident *raise hand

Can confirm. Am kenzoku. Am old

I've never backseated (I almost never take part in the chat anyway), but for a long time now, I've really, really wanted to send a superchat to a vtuber/streamer to suggest them to play Warhammer Vermintide 2, particularly to vtubers/streamers that often play similar games in collab streams. I've never seen a single Japanese streamer play it, while I've seen plenty of them play L4D2 or B4B, which makes it all the more painful. However, I don't really want to come off as rude, so I've never done that so far.

Don't backseat the angel or she'll start Armageddon

Devilish act for good purpose, sasuga TMT

Something that I honestly want to see Hololive do in this upcoming year is expand their ability to do 3D things. Firstly, they NEED a 3D studio somewhere overseas that’s of the same quality as their JP studio so that the EN branch has easier access to 3D. Secondly, they NEED to get all the members 3D models instead of just the JP branch. This would also facilitate EN members being included in things like Hologra more often which would be cool to see. The first one is obviously the hardest one to do but the second one should be totally doable so that we can see even more members take part in things like the big Hololive Festivals.

These guys controlling them, sigh* Wamy addressed this too...

I don't question what my wife decides to cook, thus I wont question what my waifu decides to play as well. .... were speaking hypothetically of course

Nerds be wildin'

Not a creative issue, more like an availability issue. Also she can't give it their all if she's not having fun.

Also xD towasama please don't take that as you are not engaging with the viewers. Not all games will be engage, but I respect that.

Kenzokus, next time let's backseat their backseating. Like how their comments, choices, grammarr etc
