Hololive star Hakos Baelz explains why VTubers can\u2019t share off-collab info early YouTube: Hakos BaelzHololive star Hakos Baelz has opened up on the VTuber agency\u2019s recent off-collab in Japan, saying the surprise element is there for a reason. There\u2019s a safety risk around these events, so talents can\u2019t risk letting people know their location beforehand. Hololive\u2019s English talents shocked fans when they, one-by-one, announced their arrival into the agency\u2019s home base of Japan, getting rolling on plenty of off-collabs (offline collaborations) and special appearances. No matter whether they were from Myth, Council, or standalone star IRyS, everyone was getting in on the action. Mori Calliope even eluded to the fact graduated member Tsukumo Sana was in town \u2014 although not on official Hololive business given her departure. The fact it was a surprise disappointed some viewers, who were hoping for a bit more build-up and hype towards the affair. Council VTuber Hakos Baelz opened up on this fact on stream, trying to nip speculation in the bud and set ground rules for future offline collaborations: \u201cWe need to talk about something serious\u2026 It\u2019s not really serious, I\u2019m just making a big deal out of it. But I do want to clarify something with you guys. \u201cI noticed that there were some viewers who were upset about the fact that we didn\u2019t tell you that we were coming to Japan and that we suddenly surprised you guys with an off-collab. \u201cAlthough I understand that you\u2019d want to have a heads up, we physically can\u2019t say anything. We can\u2019t.\u201d The reason for this is simple. The people behind each Hololive talent are meant to be private individuals. If they were to share information publicly, before the trip started, there\u2019d be an obvious risk of being mobbed by fans on arrival, or worse. That\u2019s a chance Hololive, and Hakos Baelz, are never going to take. \u201cFor those who watch me, I just want to let you know now, I will never ever tell you guys beforehand if I\u2019m going somewhere for safety reasons obviously. Just never expect that from me. I may tell you plans a year in advance, like \u2018this year I want to go here,\u2019 but I would never tell you \u2018I have a flight tomorrow.\u2019 Okay?\u201d After setting the ground rules for future collaborations, Bae thanked fans for their support of the initial streams, and promised more great work from Japan in the future. \u201cI\u2019m also really happy all you guys enjoyed the off-collab, and that\u2019s just something I wanted to clarify before we move on. \u201cI may be staying in Japan for quite a while. I am going back [home], but I am staying here for quite a little bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
