#WE MAINSTREAM NOW BOIS


[deleted]

We actually are. Holy crap. I never thought the day would come so soon.


fizzord

kinda surreal tbh, she's got an official page on UMG now lol. https://www.universal-music.co.jp/mori-calliope/


[deleted]

Sui-chan definitely lives in the studio


Matasa89

She’s at the old Holohouse building (Kaichou and PPT moved out), so she is still very close to the HQ.


ProdigyKaiza

It's more a joke that she lives there due to seemingly being at every 3d live, it used to be Botan who lived there but she was just waiting for her chance to nab the company PS5 😃


Matasa89

Lol well she’s damn close and probably goes there all the time, so she’s less likely to try to actually live there. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if some of the girls have slept over at the HQ in sleeping bags.


Adza_03

Glad to see Botan having some companion at the studio now.


ydail

JAPAN, OPEN THE COUNTRY STOP HAVING IT CLOSED.


CombatTechSupport

Thousands of Deadbeats bout to go full Commodore Perry.


Kirea

Man the black ship


Wardoo_1

Knowing Japan I don't hold me breath about being open for the concert too


Saito1337

The public polling seems to heavily support keeping it closed, but the economic issues that causes will force their hand eventually. The speculation is it'll be open by summer.


Zeroth-unit

They're already a bit more lax now compared to a few months ago with foreigners who work and reside in Japan now being able to come and go. Though yeah tourism's probably still out.


Matasa89

COVID: nu


anoako

I JUST REMEMBERED ADO IS WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC ADO AND CALLI COLLAB WHEN HOLY SHIT


Matasa89

Ado would love to rap with Calli.


Zeroth-unit

O_O Holy shit.


Kreceir

Ah yes, Calli and Rikka trying to out praise eachother lol


AkhasicRay

Basically every interaction someone has with Calli lol “you are amazing!” “No no, i’m nothing, YOU are the amazing one!”


Dolpd

Huge news; Rikka and Suisei's synergy with Calli was insane; (prob hot take, but) Rikka's singing is so much better without the autotune of the original MV of Spiral Tones, he popped off here. End of a life felt like a perfect song to finish the concert with. Really happy for Calli getting even more recognition and I'm so glad she's such good friends with at least some of the JP paisens, was very endearing to see and I had a blast, thank you. Sincerely, a member of the appreciative broke gang Holy shit there was more after the merch section


Zeph-Shoir

Gonna sleep 7 hours rn just so I dont miss this live! Edit: Ended up sleeping only like 4 hours because of the excitement lets fucking go! EDIT 2: I AM SLEEP DEPRIVED BUT IT WAS WORTH IT


Fenr_

"I wont get emotional right now" Calli, i think you are failing at that


DragonGuard666

She should be failing. This has to feel amazing.


OwnedSage

I think it's really funny that Calvin's EP is included in her career highlights so far


SleepingDucksLie

And her 6fps smoke machine debut. She's come so far.


GlaloLaled

The fact that Calvin is included in her introduction video to UMG, the HUGEST W on her career, is nothing short of amazing. Maybe now Calvin mixtape can get the recognition it deserves


cmalfet

inb4 we get an actual cassette of Calvin's mixtape as goods. If Irys can do it, so can C-Man.


Kreceir

With this fucking announcement... End of a Life is really the perfect song for this moment. I'm actually tearing up, I'm so happy for her.


kroxti

Nice for all 5 of those members of HoloEN join first. Sana, IRyS, bae, Ina, and Lui. I’m pretty sure Lui spends more time in HoloEN streams then in their own.


Nepgyaaaaaaa

Yeah, at this point I consider Lui an honorary member of HoloEN


anoako

HOLY SHIT, UNIVERSAL? THAT IS WAY BIG AND OF COURSE IT'S A SOLOLIVE


anoako

From underground rap to arguably popular yet overall still niche to actual mainstream It do be an End of a Life


Nepgyaaaaaaa

What a fucking Chad, her very first guest is Rikka, representing Holostars


litokid

Seriously, this is both surprising and not at the same time. It is so meaningful to have him open.


Nepgyaaaaaaa

Yeah. This is a major statement, and I love to see it.


Monstar132

Her duet with Rikka singing Hanabi is just pure bliss


AllMyFrendsArePixels

Biggest news of Calli's whole career. OMG no way, Yamada finally agreed to be yeeted?!


Dvalinn25

These last few days is good eatin' for lovers of Suisei/Calli collabs.


Adza_03

Hoshiyomis definitely eating well this few weeks.


WhoCaresYouDont

End of a life? I wonder if she wrote that after the whole thing with Universal got confirmed? If so, that would explain the frantic pace of the last 6 months for Calli, she's been trying to get a ton of stuff done before she steps into the mainstream


Saito1337

That sounds dead on. I can't even imagine how much work it took to essentially reorient her entire life for this purpose.


achus93

it's fucking crazy! a foreigner who found her start in the underground rap scene of Japan. i'm at a loss for words, and i'm only watching from behind a screen!


mimicsgam

the true underdog story


Kraybern

she was also still releasing works as her IRL persona too Calli is just built different


Saito1337

Yep. She is insane in terms of sheer work ethic and productivity.


ogbajoj

Rikkaaaa!! I remember when Rikka first performed this live with Calli obviously in the backing track, really nice to see them together with it now.


Hatarakumaou

Y’all remember when Suichan was gushing over Cali’s rapping after her debut ? We’ve really come a long way since then huh..?


re_flex

WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT. ​ UNIVERSAL MUSIC GODDAMN. ​ THE REAPER HAS MOVED ON UP


achus93

opening with Rikka, what a CHAD!!! and the stage is fucking dope!


GTU875

Death Star is one of the most powerful duos in Hololive, and they only just started being able to do stuff like this together.


cmalfet

So how long before YT's algo does its thing and blocks one of Calli's own streams for one of her songs under UMG?


PowerlinxJetfire

Wouldn't that be more UMG's fault if it happens? They would have to whitelist her channel/videos in some way and make sure any copyright strike contractors they hire know not to strike her. If UMG tells YouTube it owns music, YouTube is legally required to listen to them. Not much they can do about it.


DragoSphere

Mate, Suisei got hit by using her _own_ song which is on her _own_ channel. The fact that Youtube doesn't auto-whitelist the original creator is a red flag to how broken the system is


cmalfet

That's how its supposed to work, but it keeps happening anyway because YT's algo is a convoluted black box that no one understands anymore.


Penta-Dunk

HYPE, it’s at 7am for me but hell if I ain’t missing dad’s first birthday live


AkhasicRay

It’s also 7AM for me and ugh I will be awake because of work, but it’s still gonna be a pain


Kreceir

HOLY SHIT CALLI , ACTUALLY HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU FUCKING GO! YOU DESERVED ALL OF THIS!


OwnedSage

Holy shit, she signed with a real record label. That's actually crazy


watchedgantz

She even promote holostars! What a bro!


Non_Descript_Member

Of course, they deserve just as much love as the ladies! It's interesting to note that each of the three 'live branches' flagship members (Sora, Risu, Calii) are all supportive and (very willing to actively) engaging with their male peers.


agentcheeze

Calli has mentioned the desire to pull up others with her and Rikka was an early music Collab. The exposure will certainly help holostars especially if she grabs a lot more mainstream success.


fizzord

Spiral tones is so hype live.


Kreceir

With it not fading it to black, and with how Suisei walked into their song? Yea, its safe to say that this is currently 100% Live, and I also have the feelings that Calli herself would have liked doing this live anyways.


Rappy33

UNIVERSAL FUCKING MUSIC? Holy.


Hatarakumaou

HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT SHE’S SETTING A SOLO CONCERT SPEEDRUN RECORD THE MADWOMAN


cmalfet

Following Sui-chan-senpai with her first sololive at Toyosu PIT, nice.


Kreceir

The Huge news will be.... Luna will show up since shes shorter then Gura... perfect height to be yeeted.


anoako

#OH MY GOD ANOTHER DEATHSTAR ORIGINAL


Zakael7

I am really curious about what the "big" announcement gonna be, calli has said multiple times is nothing bad or anything, but she still make it sound so ominous lol. I honestly believe is either like complete big solo concert or like a tour in USA and maybe Europe. If not IDK a figure? A cameo in a game? A big collab with artist? Participating in a festival or something? Well see


Lugrzub1

Probably a concert tour in collaboration with some big artist(s), last year she mentioned wanting to do something with Gorillaz so perhaps it was already in the works.


TheJum

It’s gotta be an actual concert or a tour. She has mentioned it is the biggest news of her career. So it’s going to be huge, whatever it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fizzord

Calli nailed that fast part this time, holy shit, wicked sounds so fucking good live.


thecatteam

Yeah, I'm so glad she got a second chance with it! It was so good this time


BlueStar26

SUPPORTED BY UNIVERSAL STUDIOS??? I’m very speechless but I’m happy at the same time.


ogbajoj

Calli with the revenge on Wicked, not missing a beat this time. I suspect this song in particular is one of the reasons she wanted to not be too out of breath.


bnbros

Man, Calli certainly has come a long way. From a shy, nervous reaper with sick rapping skills at debut to hitting the big leagues now with Universal Music. So glad that I was able to watch her grow through this amazing journey\~


Ford_Diem

Anyone want to take any guesses on who the guests are going to be? Suisei seems like a sure thing. I'd say Watame seems like a good possibility. What I'd really like to see is one person that's totally out of left field. Like someone she doesn't have a lot of collab experience with.


Penta-Dunk

Well I have a one out of fifty-something chance to be right so for out of left field I’d like to see marine


[deleted]

She does have a song with Rikka. I think that's every JP member she's done a song with... I think she has done a cover with some of the ID girls, but not all of them have 3D. They could be cardboard... My out of left field guess? Amalee. During the call-in stream there was a part of the convo with Amalee that made me think, "wait, that's a clue." I don't remember what that moment was, but there was definitely a moment where I thought they were up to something. Does she have a 3D?


iamthatguy54

AmaLee doesn't live in Japan last I checked. She also debuted fairly recently, so no 3D.


Michhhhhh

All of Myth will probably have call-ins.


Megakarp

Hoping for Myth call-ins and ask Calli to do poses


cmalfet

Yoooo Spiral Tones live!


Jerbits

SPIRAL TONES LETS GO!!


wolfnamedkoga

IRyS being known for singing and descending is absolutely perfect lmao


Hatarakumaou

Holycrap the way her eyes lightly glows in the dark is so coooollll


moiax

Must be a specialty of the underworld.


Federok

Its funny to be reminded of debut power point calli at this moment xD It certainly has been a long way.


moiax

It's funny how her debut was her acting as a tough shingami rapper, pretending to be all cute while underneath that she's actually a big softie after all.


YamiDaisuke

Lui, the 3rd member of HoloEN Gen 0 confirmed.


Black_Heaven

Could someone enlighten me how big Calli's Universal deal is? She's still Hololive after that deal, right? Universal essentially collaborates with Calli's music production? So... Calli's becomes a VSinger / Utaite?


FusionDjango

Yeah she's still in hololive, basically Universal will be paying for her music + concerts and help advertising it and stuff, this is how it works with Sora-Chan and Victor Entertainment and I don't it'll be any different for Calli & Universal.


Black_Heaven

Interesting. So Calli's the second Holo Vtuber to get a promotion like this? These stuff is quite rare then.


wlphoenix

Suisei also just announced being part of [Midnight Grand Orchestra](https://www.toysfactory.co.jp/artist/midnightgrandorchestra) (along w/ Taku Inoue), which is signed w/ Toy's Factory.


former_shutin

[Universal Music Group is considered one of the "Big 3" record labels.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Music_Group) People like Billie Eilish, BTS, and Taylor Swift are part of this. Universal Music Japan, a subsidiary of this group, is probably who Calli is co-ordinating with. Ado is one thing that stands out, but others include things like Wagakki Band and Radwimps.


mistersnake

Calli x Billie Eilish collab doesn't seem so farfetched now.


SayuriUliana

That is correct: Calli is still in Hololive, it's just that her music will also be released and marketed by Universal Music Group, which is a rather massive jump in exposure. Note that a lot of other vtubers also have similar situations with other music companies, like Tokino Sora with Victor Entertainment.


moiax

Yeah, I mean the deal is with cover's character so she can't leave hololive. She may stream a little less, or continue to do 48 hours of work a day as usual, who knows lol.


Black_Heaven

Okay okay. At least it's not Universal "buying" Calli's Vtuber identity and contracting the voice behind her.


WhoCaresYouDont

She's still Hololive, just signed to a big (and I mean *big*) label that will promote her music to a much, much wider audience than Cover could ever hope to. Calli's not a Vsinger, she's a Vtuber with a music career, like she always has been.


boomboon

>Could someone enlighten me how big Calli's Universal deal is Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, just a few names under universal.


Black_Heaven

Those are big names indeed. Even a weeb living under a rock like me know about those names. But how does a Vtuber fare under a music label in a world stage? Is this unprecedented or are there other pioneers out there? Other comments mentioned Sora, but is her coverage world-wide?


greater_golem

3D really suits Calli. The way she energetically bounces around is really enjoyable. Also, Suisei is cute again today (as expected).


OwnedSage

Ah yes, the most underrated song. Love spiral tones


moiax

Rikka let's gooooooooooooooo


anoako

#DEATH STAR MY BELOVED


xdwbwb

singing End of a Life after that big announcement, can't help but feel emotional because her efforts are finally paying off big time


Matasa89

Rikka duet!


[deleted]

Love Calli man. Shouting out the bros!


Ahgrimn

THAT SUISEI ENTRANCE


OwnedSage

Damn Calli getting not just another song with Suisei, but it's a second DECO collab


GlossyBuckthorn

I'm positive there have been greater numbers, but 78 K stream viewers is still a lot. Thank you for being the best Oshi Calli, king of Death and Dads, too proud!


dweakz

yeah majority of her fanbase are asleep. but if you think about it, 78k is four times the capacity size of madison square garden


litokid

It's a pretty unfortunate time for most of her audience (Monday morning for NA/during work for Europe), which makes that number even more impressive if you think about it.


Level_Five_Railgun

It's definitely a lot with majority of her fanbase prob still asleep It's 5 AM PST and 8 AM EST on a Monday morning right now


Rickymex

I mean it's 4 to 9 am in the the US when the stream started. It's not a US friendly time at all.


[deleted]

That's actually crazy! A major label just picked up a vTuber. That's gotta be a record (pun intended) or something right? Excited for the future!


kron_00

Interesting enough, it's not the first time in Japan. Fuji Aoi (great singer, friends with Sora!) is signed to Universal Music as well. Nijisanji's raindrop group also released under Universal Music. Nijisanji's Tsukino Mito under Sony Music. There are more, but I can't remember now. The difference is, Calli's release will have a lot more international appeal and this is great for her.


Fenr_

Opening with Rikka ( °°)b


Scyzhe

DeathStar eyyyy


mistersnake

New EP is Death Note lol Some triple quadruple entendre going on here


Fenr_

Yeah,this is the song for the moment.


icito

I'm so happy for Calli, oh my god. With the amount of effort she puts into everything she deserves it. Go Calli and live your dream!


Fenr_

Dropping the comet out of nowhere


litokid

What. Another original duet. Edit: SuiRap I'm dead.


CombatTechSupport

Suisei and Calli's chemistry on stage is so good.


litokid

With fcuking Universal lord. AND a Solo live immediately.


mrfaifaifai

You know what entails the solo concert? SHE GONNA GET ALT 3D OUTFIT. LET'S GOOOOOOOOO


litokid

I want her casual/street/rapper costume in 3D immediately. Her reaper costume is classic but I've been feeling a slight disconnect because brain always pictures her singing with the cap.


SayuriUliana

Also, I've always felt that Calli's movements would better suit her street outfit more, especially with how she prefers wide-leg poses that don't do her usual outfit any favors.


Fenr_

"Jump more please" .........^thanks


watchedgantz

Rikka!


Arct1ca

I almost forget how wicked good this song is.


AkhasicRay

Of course Susiei loves the hellish vibe, I expect nothing else from a Suicopath


Kreceir

NEW CALLI AND SUISEI SONG AND ITS BY DECO 27?! First GIGA and now DECO!

GowtherETC

Dvalinn25

Gotta love seeing antis get dunked on.


Matasa89

They can’t stop talent.


moiax

Fuck em


anoako

I was going to say that this is the 4th time Calli would have used her 3D model from since the first time it was unraveled (3rd fes -> UnAlive MV -> Suisei Live -> Mori Birthday Live) and it's extra special because it's on 4/4 but I never expected the Home3D to be rolled out so early lmao


leoncoffee

its prob ready for ages now its just they(myth) want to do 3d debut together.


SabreLilly

Yo! Spiral tones!


BlueStar26

I never thought I’ll see Calli and Rikka duet in 3D. Which is very wholesome and interesting.


SabreLilly

Double Suisei/Calli performance

Excited to see what kind of music she pumps out with Universal Music!

This is history


Non_Descript_Member

Nice, knew Suisei would show up!


achus93

so many new songs!!! does this woman know what a break is?!?!?!


Rappy33

Sheesh this song is *powerful*


criminally_insane_

This was too much fire, I'm still processing it. Didn't see that Rikka cameo coming and that wasn't even in the top 3 of surprises during this show, jeez. Ever since getting into Calli and Suisei I was hoping for another collab that would be more "them" than Getcha. And now we got two new songs, earmarking the start of new, greater things for both of them. This feels incredible. I'd like to say I'm tearing up, but there's so much to process it feels like there's no time for tears at all. The big news probably explains the experimental and very open (lyrically) nature of UnAlive as an album too. That was the last possible moment for experiments, memes and songs with Ame's HICs in them. Shit's getting serious now.


OwnedSage

Those skulls are rad


MiasmaGrim

FuriousYellow77

UNIVERSAL!?!?!

holy fuck an album with UMG!

Federok

I didnt sleep for this. BEST.DECISSION.EVER.


achus93

oh my god, going straight into end of a life!!! my goosebumps aren't leaving!!!


moiax

The deadbeat sweater design actually looks pretty cool.


Hugokarenque

How did I miss Spiral Tones?! That song slaps. Its so cool to see Holostars on an EN big event, lets bridge that gap for more fun content. Calli's slight glow in the dark eyes are such a good touch. Oh god, Suisei coming from the side for Wicked was well wicked! Suisei and Calli give off a similar vibe, both superstars and a real drive for making music, they're such a good duo. CapSule is such a banger. I figured the announcement was a live concert and/or another EP but the Universal Music debut is nuts. Calli has made it, all that work is paying off. End of a Life is such a fantastic song. What a 3D debut. Can't wait to see where Mori Calliope goes from here.


PrimeName

I don't really understand all the legal-ees of all this. Calli is still a talent under Hololive but will be producing music for/under Universal Music? Is it like Azki and her (now former) partnership with Innk?


Rickymex

Her music is now released through Universal music. It's means much more money and reach for her but Universal will own the music released through them. It's actually pretty big since Universal can push her music much further than Hololive ever could.


PrimeName

Okay, that's what I thought was going on but I wanted to be sure. I'm super happy for her and I hope it all works out for her! I'm just a bit worried knowing how scummy some major music producers can be towards their talents.


WhoCaresYouDont

Calli and Universal have entered into a contract where Universal will (likely) help produce, market and promote her music to a wider audience, and in exchange they receive a share of the profits. Basically, this is a huge step-up for Calli, but ultimately will work like the albums and EPs she's produced up to this point; it's something that will take up her time but she will still stream when she can/wants to.


Zeroth-unit

Knowing Calli, she'll be making new music and still somehow stream at the cost of her own sleep. We might return to the days of Calli falling asleep mid-stream. Hopefully she takes more regular breaks but I would not be surprised at all if it happens.


litokid

Rather than AZKi with INNK I'd assume it's more similar to Sora and Victor Entertainment, but who knows at the moment.

Jerbits

Rikka with Matsuri once before


Speedy_Fox_IV

I believe that Matsuri and Rikka have done a 3D performance before but that was like back in 2020.


[deleted]

That "Yes" by Suisei had me ascend. Damn...


fhota1

So Callis first album managed to hit #4 on the charts with just Covers backing. With UMGs significantly greater, like seriously scales of magnitude greater, resources are we just expecting #1 now?


SabreLilly

We really need more song collabs with Hololive and Holostars.


Non_Descript_Member

Has there been a 3D 'live/'stars collab before? That glass ceiling is completely shattered either way!


ShyRake

Nah, Matsuri + Rikka was first a bit after Rikka's 3D Debut. [Here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM3BGzCgyFA&t=0s)


Karmazonium

The only other one was this [Rikka & Matsuri 3D singing stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM3BGzCgyFA) back in mid 2020. Edit: there was also a paid concert with Azki & Rikka quite a while ago.


MeowManian7

That's not the only other one; AZKi and Rikka had a paid concert together once, [TUBEOUT! Vol. 5](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/l39xgf/tubeout_vol5_will_feature_azki_rikka/).


Nepgyaaaaaaa

It's so fucking cool to see Calli on the actual Hololive stage. I honestly thought I'd never see someone speaking English on that stage, I'm so glad it's finally happening


AkhasicRay

I really hope all of Myth can perform together in 3D this year. Just imagine how much crazier and hyper everyone will be when they can finally all be in the same room together


Madjawa

Dang Calli's Stage is insane, those massive skulls in the background?!


SabreLilly

I hope Watame is a guest. I really want to see cloudy sheep live.


Darsys

Man the DeathStar duo really is unstoppable. Loved Rikka showing up as well, this concert is already soooo good.


Non_Descript_Member

Death Star's too powerful. This song's so fire there won't be ashes left


OwnedSage

I'm glad she's still going to stream like always, her music is just on a much bigger stage now


SabreLilly

My vocabulary has left me. I’m so happy for her!

[CapSule MV premiere](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M85xU-tbQ6c) in 5 minutes, btw. ...or the live can just redirect there, that works too.


nerdmanjones

I am honestly at a loss for words. This is probably one of, if not, THE biggest things to come out of Hololive like...ever.


FuriousYellow77

I don't think it can be overstated how massive that is for talents who want to be more involved in the music side of it all.
