[Eng Sub] Matsuri tells us about her income at her debut (Natsuiro Matsuri)[Hololive] 

Man the early gen girls are the trailblazers that paved the way for Hololive to become what it is today. Deep respects to them.

Deep respect to early generations girls, their perseverance made Hololive what it is today

0th gen, 1st gen & 2nd gen really had it rough. They literally started from the bottom. No hi tech PC, no fancy equipments, no managers, & them using smartphones just to stream but despite all of these they were able to give entertainment to people. That's why I admire them so much.

And now, because of us simps, we have increased their salary and also bullying them with red supachats

Flashback on when she proudly show off her slightly fried beansprout dish as if it was some kind of gourmet.

i think matsuri was the one who also thought she was gonna pay to be a vtuber

Aki streaming from her phone and them not being able to properly support themselves is really mind boggling looking at it from now. Really admirable they went through with it, it's really their work that made Hololive into what it currently is.

No matter how many times it's mentioned, it still doesn't feel like 0th, 1st and 2nd gens hardships are nearly appreciated enough...

Early-gen hardships aside, more and more I've come to really respect Matsuri's openness. I feel like it's mostly her YABE moments that get clipped, but I think the transparency she provides is very important.

You know, there's a lot of these vids about them talking about the past and they never fail to somehow make me feel both sad about what had happened in the past, and make me feel happy that despite all of this, they made the vids, streams, and all of the things they did that led to now, where Hololive is very well known and many people now watch them.

Hearing a person reminisce his/her past and talk about how they overcome it makes me appreciate and respect them even more.

I am glad that i am the one that stand and has been supporting the girls since Fubuki debut

Matsuris wholesome moments are godlike ... wait

If I can remember, Coco once said their salary was similar to a Japanese man who graduated from a prestigious university and can get some girls flocking him

Respect gen 1 + gen 2 and yagoo the man himself that scout these talent. I raise my hat to you yagoo

And now most of them finally moved out to live alone.. Fans have supported them well And they are not slowing down at all.. Still maintaining same work ethics since the debut

Guess now she is rich

Im so glad that 1 clipper clipped akirose's clip back then, she was using a phone bruh

I remember Subaru said in her stream that she doesn't even have pc and laptop first, so YAGOO himself lend Subaru his laptop to stream.

Wow, hearing about their equipments at their debuts gives me more confidence to stream

The pioneers of hololive worked really hard to the point where their juniors didn't have to suffer the hardships they experienced. They really deserve all the respect.

Look at them now. A minute barely passes after a new member is announced and it already will have like 10k subscribers. Early gens are pioneers

That's why I'm so proud of hololive early gens ofc all gens too and branches and someday will have enough money to sc my oshis esp matsuri

yeah, 800 on their first few month after debut actually a lot and had good start no matter how many views who watching, knowing some people spend their free time watching means a lot for them, makes me remember some wise words from veteran streamer long time ago: 1 views its like a stranger stop their activity to watching your stream 5 views its like a family watching your stream 50 views its like a big family and their neighborhood watching your stream 200-300 views its like people on theatre watching your stream 1000 views its like people on big concert watching your stream 10k views its like people on mid-size stadium watching your stream

Aki :'< Props to her for toughing it out to get where she is right now

It’s crazy to think she was barely making 900 a month!! Massive respect and a huge congratulations for making what hololive is today 👏🏼👏🏼

I would like to add thanks for people like you and people who translate live streamings. You helped to expand Hololive and make them arrive to us. Thanks

Aki streaming on her phone dammnnn

how far they've come. i just joined the rabbit hole recently, but somehow i'm happy listening to stories like this.

Matsuri was on that hustle and grind, I respect that

Matsuri: "I was making less than 100,000 yen a month" Us, Broke Gang, some live in Third World counties don't even get paid 40,000 yen a month. Still, good thing that Matsuri and the others continued their career and achieve what they have right now. I hope they can continue to grow in the future

Compared with independent vtubers, 300 per stream during starting is actually a lot tbh. They really have grown far.

You can just hear the nostalgia in her voice.

Flashback to once aki telling her story about 7 JPY income from RU-vid to Noel and lamy and she thought that she couldn't buy a single pack of Bean sprout...

i'm glad their hardwork can help their kouhai too

I am glad that they never gave up and became what they are now

Hololive has come along way A journey full of the unexpected and memorable

Imagine trying to live in Vancouver or Toronto with CAD$1,100.00/month. That is what's like for them to live in Tokyo with a salary that low.

Listening to the outro gives me heartwarming feelings

Its kinda crazy to give this much dedication to a startup company if you think about it, Cover owns alot to some of his talents, so much that money alone will never "cover" it xD

That's actually not too rough, considering it can be treated as a second job. But again I am glad no one quit. They all stayed because they love streaming

100000 yen is sum of averages salary of 2 to 3 month in my country

I love Matsuri...

Thanks for this info :')

This is really impressive. And also very surprising in and of itself, I'd imagine this is probably against some hololive rules to give monetary details like that. But Matsuri is Matsuri.

God you really have to respect just how hard the early gens had to work to make Hololive stay afloat.

For me, the Hololive Triangle Logo. Each corner represents 0th Gen, 1st Gen and 2nd Gen. The 3 pillars of Hololive.

Gen 0th, aka The Trailblazer generation. Remembering that they were somehow lower than some of us make me have a deep respect for them.

Aki streamed from her smartphone because she have access to the internet , now that is a dedication !

It's kinda weird getting recommended this video right after watching a story involving matsuri where she was offering to pay for everyone's meal

Matsuri did a recent collab with Nene, where Nene had to admit she had bean sprouts for lunch (because she was poor)

1000 verdes en japon: * vive en pobreza extrema * 1000 verdes en latinomerica: me alcanza para una provincia y 3 personas 😎

Guess all that hardship that they endured really paid off in the end

Welp, look at all of them now.

Wow, japan's monthly living cost is very high. 100k yen is almost equal to $1k ish. It mgiht be low for some advanced countries like japan, singapore, etc. 1k dollars is very high for some asian countries especially south east asian

I can only imagine what they make now.

Roboco had built-in wifi so she was fine :)

Wait.. 100.000 yen per month is two or three time higher than average salary in my country lol..

Look at matsuri now she has enough money to simp and send aka supa for hoshikawa

Below 100.000? it isn't big enought? wtf my life...

Wow comparing that to how well they do now, they really worked hard huh. Also, as a person living in a third-world country, that 100,000 yen is a lot if that will be my salary in my country. Probably higher than how much people with degrees earn here, tho I know there is high inflation in Japan so it must really be little for them but just shocked to know the amount.

I don't know maybe the life-style at japan is different but for me 100 000 yen(RM3800+) already a lot for me alone

It was rough back then

Damn, how aki managed to stream with a phone

100k yen is $900 per month, I can live happily with that amount.. though its good they earn even more now

I'm more interested in how to stream from my phone lol maybe they had bad equipment and all but no bad phone can run everything that is needed to stream like in a pc

I don't know where hololive would be today if we weren't simping some of them wouldn't have the stuff they have and the subs either, if I can remember before 2020 the most subbed channel in Hololive was probably Fubuki with like 400-500k and now she's the 2nd most subbed in Hololive JP Korone blasted past her in popularity in less than a year after the pandemic started I believe everyone but Botan & Roboco would have terrible setups Boton literally has 4 monitors In 2020 Tokino Sora was the least subscribed vtuber who had around 300k last time I checked now 600k now AZKI with 407k which is the least in hololive Japan

That's why i subscribe all of them. Eventhought i don't have time for watch them now. Bad eng, sry🙏🙏

YOU CAN STREAM FROM YOUR PHONE?!

This makes you question how much Tokino Sora was making per month when she debuted...

Even god have her hard time😘😘😘

￥100.000 is enough for living for 2 months. If you live in SEA.

Wow, is the rent in Tokyo that cheap? Oh well, i don't know the average salary so i don't know if it is expensive or cheap from a Tokyo perspective. In my town the average rent would be after conversion about 173 000 yen.

Yeah even subaru and ayame back then have a bad mic too.

i guess like yeah, 100k yen is not a lot but.... its not small amount either.... i dont know, its twice the minimun income of where i live and i dont really know how are the living expenses there

Supa chatto timu

Was there a certain moment that made hololive famous? (im sorry i've only been a vtuber supporter since last year)

Man... my tears when i heard that Akirose had a moment doing streaming using a phone??? I feel like i just want to hug her on my chest, giving a headpats.

Who the fuck is that 1 dislike

Bro on a decent fulltime job here you earn 500dlls a month, i guess im just too third world.

she said "single monitor on my laptop" lmao as if computer must be 2 or more monitor.. gomen matsuri, broke pc also only have 1 monitor :')

Not saying they didnt work hard for it but dont forget that Hololive is as popular as it is now because it got attention from the rest of the world. Japanese otaku knew about Hololive and vtubers in general from day 1. Meaning that it really only got popular when people overseas found out about them too. So if you are a oversea fan of Hololive you can consider yourself a big part of their success too.

I'm always curious how much money these folks make. I mean i know they can't tell us, and i expect its probably

a rought estimate of yen to dollars is to remove 2 0's. so 100,000 yen ~= $1,000
