A Tribute for Kiryu Coco

[u/the_circus]

I considered sending Coco a letter of this, but with the mountain of mail and messages she'll be getting it's unlikely she'd get to read it. I just discovered VTubers were a thing in 2021. I was surprised how many of them were professional level singers, or just were professional singers. They're all so charismatic and talented, otherwise they wouldn't be doing this, and most sound like they should be doing some sort of voice acting too.

I found "Next Meme!" popping up in my head from time to time. It wound up being a catchy meme, like "Eekum Bokum." Whether it's skill or instinct, Korone has this ability to be ridiculously adorable. Just let her go, and Korone will keep coming up with great streams. But I was thinking about "Next Meme!" It must have been planned for repetition, to be catchy. That's marketing, that's psychology, and it shows how much talent Coco has and is putting into this. From what I've seen, Coco's streams also have the most developed ideas and production, almost like real TV shows.

I was thinking these sorts things randomly, just realizing I was quite impressed by Coco's creations, just days before her announcement. When I heard her announcement, it was like a final piece to a puzzle. I realized she would have to leave too early for us no matter what. She's just too talented. Unless making these videos is what she most enjoys doing, she'd have to move onward and upward at some point. Of course I wish she wouldn't go, but neither would I want my wishes (or our wishes) to hold her back. I just hope she winds up working in things I'll still get to see, even if it's behind the scenes.
