Write-ins and Discussion
Please note for these, that responses will be lumped together for similarity and listed separately for multiple separate answers by one respondent.
Write-in #1: Who would you like added to the team?
- Bring back Madotsuki
I will add as an option in the next roster poll.
- Bring back YUA (3 votes)
Ok. YUA will return, replacing Akane-chan in the net (who I feel makes no sense there thematically).
- Anzu
Assuming you mean the one from im@s, I'll consider add something to this effect in the next roster poll, possibly a rotating im@s representative.
- Too green
Like a green Reimu maybe? Interesting, I will add as an option in the next roster poll.
- Penne rigate
Japanese Bird is already on the team and this is basically the same meme, but thank you for the suggestion.
- Komeiji Koishi
Will add as a wich2hu candidate in the next roster poll.
- Konpaku Youmu
Fittingly, this person did vote for Youmu as wich2hu. Congratulations!
- A Vtuber [broadly] (3 votes)
- A hololiver [broadly]
- Kizuna Ai
- Kizuna Ai, with huge tits
- Kiryu Coco
- YAGOO
- Minato Aqua
- Tokoyami Towa
- Hoshimachi Suisei
I will add to the roster the following:
- A rotating hololiver representative (like wich2hu). Inaugural member will be Aqua, as she's the only specifically named Hololiver that I was able to find a quality model for. For reference, the other big market ones I could find were Haato, Korone, Matsuri, and Pekora.
- Kizuna Ai. The size of her tits cannot be helped, unfortunately.
Write-in #2: Kit suggestions
- Naked, unshaved AV idol
Cup aesthetics must be safe for work. Please understand.
- Kizuna Ai's classic uniform
I did try this, and the problem is that it has a lot of layers and transparency. There's the seifuku collar, detached sleeves, lots of lace, a ribbon, a slit in the shorts with black cloth underneath... it's very difficult to try to replicate within the restrictions of a PES outfit and have it not come out looking like a tuxedo t-shirt. Not impossible, but not within my artistic ability.
- /hlg/ rules /jp/
If you'd like a Hololive general kit you're welcome to make an actual suggestion.
Write-in #3: Anthem suggestions
For this one, respondents were asked to suggest an anthem if they voted that the anthems should be separated. For the 19 people who voted affirmatively to that idea, I received 2 suggestions:
- MyonMyonMyonMyonMyon! by Shibayan Records
I don't think it's a bad song, it's just a little sleepy. I was considering maybe using it for wich2hu's goalhorn but even then, Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird is hype and has many good remixes. Thank you for actually suggesting something, though.
- AIAIAI by Kizuna Ai
Pretty good. Will give it a shot.
For what it's worth, when I initially suggested this change in my introduction post I had in mind Samurai Blue by ZZ. In retrospect I'm not sure it would've landed, as I doubt many /jp/ posters had a homebrew DS in 2007 or are familiar with the Japan national football team.
Anyway, the anthem for the first game will be a special meme anthem to celebrate the 3 new Vtubers on the roster and thereon out AIAIAI, and the question will reopen in the next poll should anybody develop a suggestion in the meantime.
Write-in #4: Goalhorn suggestions
- Anybody who might realistically score, as most of the medals would not make sense to have a goalhorn for
This is kinda true, I suppose. But my goal for custom goalhorns is not to never hear Endless Tewi.
- Yukkuri voiceroid laughing, for Take it Easy!
That's a funny idea but I see two problems. First, the goalhorn can potentially go for over a minute during replays. Second, Take it Easy! is a centerback and therefore is extremely unlikely to ever score, and having too many horns in Rigdio can be an issue.
- Clownpiece should have a goalhorn
I agree.
- Feelgood Koshimizu for Sachiko
Sure.
- Bunbunmaru by Wise-ONE for Japanese Bird
I don't think this has the kind of energy I want in a goalhorn. Tewi literally sounds like she's falling asleep in this.
- A bird singing the theme to My Neighbor Totoro, also for Japanese Bird
Tempting, but my concerns are that this is too quiet, too short, and maybe a little too /a/.
- "Billy should have a goalhorn and not be a backline shitter"; "something Gachimuchi for Billy"
I agree with the sentiment here, Billy is kind of wasted as a fullback. I will see what I can do.
- dreamenddischarger from Umineko or OH DESIRE for Beato; Shout it out Loud!!! by Shibayan Records for for Ohayou
Unfortunately, the same practical problem with giving a horn to Take it Easy! and I don't see a case for moving either of these players up the field.
Write-in #5: Chant suggestions
- Chants are fine
Disagree. We have 4 chants and one is 2 seconds long and has flopped every single time I saw it played.
- [Various suggestions that boil down to "Vtubers saying funny things"]
If you can get me a well-isolated clip at least like 5 seconds long I'd be glad to evaluate them on a case-by-case basis. I looked into a couple of the suggestions made but couldn't find anything that didn't have a cacophony of game audio drowning it out.
- Yukkuri shiteitte ne?
Presumably in the customary yukkuri voice. I'll look into it but it might be a little short.
- Billy Herrington Niconico speech; "Aniki! Aniki!" audience chant from when Billy went to Chokaigi
I will look into these.
- [Various Akatsuki Records songs]
Would be more fitting as goalhorns, if the team had relevant players. Too long for chants.
- Astronomia Coffin remix
I like it. I will look into how conditional a chant can be; it would be awkward for this to play if we're losing.
Miscellaneous Discussion
Slight oversight of not asking "who should be promoted to medal" as I did not expect to see anybody voted out of medalhood. Tentatively I think it should be Billy.
On the other hand, I did see the votes against the JFA 2020 kit coming. At first blush it looks like a weird, unfitting camouflage pattern. I only came around to not disliking it while making the kit, and I still think I prefer the 2018 kit for clarity. I think the pattern is meant to be evocative of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa?
After putting the poll up, I got the idea for a conditional general goal horn when scoring outside the box. If I can fit it, we'll see if it ever plays.
If you have any comments or suggestions, the best way to reach me is on Discord or at my cup email. The maids aggressively delete cup shit posted to /jp/.
See you in July. tensai !!UkbBMHkM4Hl (talk) 23:36, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
