I don't really remember. I casually watched some in the past, I caught the first HoloEN debuts and such, I only really clued into them more when Mori Calliope and Moona Hoshinova read some manga I translated on stream. After that I followed a few indies, participated in some chats and so forth, but I've never really been an avid fan who oshis anyone. Really my biggest bridge to the idol and VTuber world was through my friendship with Phoebe, and now I'm in management, it's my job to play hypeman for my girls as best I can. They make it easy, though!
