“HOLOSTARS 6th Anniversary Fair in Animate Special Talk Event” by “Holostars” was held on October 26, 2025 (Sunday) at animate hall BLACK (Animate Ikebukuro Main Store North Building 9F).
At this event, performers Izuru, Yugorobel, and Rinou Mizunashi took to the stage and revealed their thoughts on “Holostars”, which is celebrating its 6th anniversary, “band/music”, and future prospects.
Each member's thoughts on the 6th anniversary
This time it was a three-person event…but the MC, Yugorobel, appeared alone. It seems that someone told him in the back, “Robel, when the show starts, we're going to do the One Shot,'' and the way he was talking to himself, saying, “I never expected it to start with the One Shot like this…'' was like a manzai, and it drew laughter from the audience.
When Yuko-san's talk was getting more and more exciting, she called the performers Izuru-san and Rin-O Mizunashi to the stage, and the performers appeared all at once, and Minase-san trotted in, until the three of them were finally together.
The event started in a warm atmosphere, with the participants mentioning the “Holostars 6th Anniversary Fair'' held in June 2025 and the fair's “Display Contest,'' and saying, “I hope we can enjoy the event with everyone like the after-party of the 6th anniversary!''
The first talk theme was “Thoughts on the 6th anniversary.” Looking back on his six years of activities, and interacting with many streamers, Kanade says, “I don't really feel like I've carried the weight of six years on my shoulders, and I'm working with a fresh feeling as if I debuted six months ago,'' and “I realized that I'm the type of person who can continue what I've decided to do over the past six years.'' Next, there is a scene in which Mr. Yugi strongly agrees with the statement, “I've grown a lot as a person,'' commenting, “When I first met Izuru-kun, he was literally a shitty kid, and although that sharpness hasn't gone away in a good way, I feel like his communication with others has become much more rounded.''
Mizunyo, who is celebrating her fourth year since her debut this year, said, “I feel like I've become able to make choices.I learned from watching the backs of my seniors that “choosing is also important.'' “As you experience various things, you feel like you start to see what your strengths and weaknesses are,'' says Mr. Kanade.
It was revealed that the two of them are especially dependent on their seniors, such as consulting with Mr. Yugo about activities and consulting with the performers regarding music matters, and the two of them had a conversation between senior and junior, saying, “Good thing we have dignity,'' with laughter.
Mr. Yuko, who is celebrating his 6th anniversary as a 2nd generation member, is a realist and says, “When I debuted, I thought it wouldn't last even a year.'' However, Mr. Yuki continues to be active even now. “This year's birthday was a 2D distribution.It's a future story, but I hope you'll look forward to this year's anniversary distribution on December 24th…I think I'll give you a hint,'' he says, stirring up fans' expectations.
The next topic is about the “Display Contest” held at the “HOLOSTARS 6th Anniversary Fair in Animate.” The displays of the excellent store “Kokura store'' selected by the 1st generation students, the “Sannomiya store'' selected by UPROAR!!, the excellent store “Sapporo store'' selected by the 2nd generation students, and the “Nagoya store'' selected by the 3rd generation students were introduced one after another, and while looking at the photos of the displays at each store, “Every store was overflowing with love for Holo Stars'', he praised!
In conjunction with the 6th anniversary costume, the topic is “band” and “music”
Since the costume for this 6th anniversary is a “band costume,” we will also have a talk about musical activities.
Yuko confessed that the instrument she played in the costume for this visual photo was originally a guitar. However, since he played bass when he was a student, he consulted with the management and had them change it to bass. “(Since I often mentioned the bass in the stream), I thought that would bring me closer to Robel in the evening, and I think the fans would be happy and say, “I have a bass!''''
The player also revealed that the first instrument he touched was the bass, and from there he started playing the piano because he wanted to play and sing more. He also shared an anecdote about how when he was into a Japanese musical instrument band, he collected bamboo and made eight instruments called Shinobue! Then, Yugo-san said, “Go get some bamboo…?'' and Minase-san quipped, “Eh, you can't make it!?'' The venue was filled with laughter.
While everyone was talking about various musical instruments, Mizunyo also mentioned that he actually owns a guitar and plays it through membership-only distribution. He also revealed that he has always been familiar with musical instruments, saying, “When I was a student, I was allowed to play with a violin that my music teacher owned.''
Furthermore, since the player has always said, “I want to be in a band!'', the topic of the talk was “What if we formed a band with the members of Holostars?'' When asked by Mr. Mizunayo, “Do you still want to be in a band?'', the player shows his enthusiasm for the band by saying, “I definitely still want to do it!''
The player said, “I want to play bass, so I want to be the bass player.I've come to believe that a 3-piece or 4-piece band is the best, so we'll create a 3-piece band with Allandis on drums, Yugorobel on guitar and vocals!'' and said he wanted to form a solid band made up of adult men.
On the other hand, Minyo says, “I want to play drums. I want to form a Yumekawa band with Makina (Makina
Mr. Yugi said, “I want to go with the traditional style. Tenshin (Tenshin Kishido) will play the guitar and vocals, Oga (Oga Arabite) will play the drums, and Rikkun (Ritsuka) will play the bass.'' He also said that he would like to be in charge of the guitar because his father played guitar, and each of them conveyed to the audience the image of the band they envisioned.
His future activities will be revealed.
From this point on, the atmosphere of the event suddenly turned into serious mode. “Is there anything you are thinking about as a member of the Holostars or as yourself? In response to the serious question from the animate, “Animate-san, are you okay with this? It doesn't have to be about your favorite B-class gourmet food, is it?'' (Mr. Kanade), “More than talking about B-class gourmet food, it's about our future!'' (Mr. Yuko), the conversation unfolded, and there was a scene that lightened the mood.
Yuki always sets annual goals at the beginning of the year, but says, “As I approach my sixth year, I've achieved what I wanted to do.It's because things are going smoothly that I start to think about what new things I should focus on next. While I think it's important to go to college, I also think that if I step up more, I can make my dreams even bigger.This year, I had to look for a good place for a lot of things,'' he said, revealing that he thinks this year and next year will be “years of analysis.''
Mr. Kanade talks about his desire to take on new challenges in the future, saying, “I'm the type of person who doesn't like talking to people other than Hollostars, so I would like to plan and create something that I can lead while expanding our interactions.'' He also said that he would like to promise his fans that he will continue his activities, including his music activities.
On the other hand, Minyo says, “Contrary to Izuru-san, I don't have any qualms about asking people out, so I've been able to do a lot of things with a lot of different people over the past three years.So, this year and next year, I have a vague idea that I want to be able to create solid content as Rinou Minase, and one of my goals is to create a buzz with my original songs!''He says that he wants to be the center of activities that leave behind content. It was also impressive to hear him laughing and saying, “The only thing I can promise you is that you will leave the long-term broadcast to me!''
Furthermore, there was a surprise photo time and a farewell event, making it a memorable event for fans as well. In his final speech, he expressed his gratitude to the fans who support him and emphasized the importance of “continuing our activities” as a member of the Holostars. The event ended with Holostars' unique greeting, “Otsu Stars!!”
