Takanashi Kiara shares what it's like to be part of hololive English Myth.

In September 2020, hololive production launched its first English gen, hololive Myth. Four year later, the members came together to celebrate their anniversary once more. Takanashi Kiara — alongside Mori Calliope, Gawr Gura, Ninomae Ina’nis, and Amelia Watson — set the foundations for the VTuber industry to come.

Anime Trending had the exclusive opportunity to interview Kiara about hololive English Myth and her love of performing.

    Couple highlights:

    You’re now one of the Daisenpais of Hololive EN. How does it feel to watch the branch grow and evolve over the years?

    Kiara: I do feel a bit like a grandmother or aunt now who has settled down a bit, maybe a bit exhausted here and there. Looking at the new kids with all their energy, I feel like I can’t keep up all the time. But, it’s exciting to see our branch grow and thrive, and I hope it will continue to do so! Myth really didn’t expect any success in the beginning, so seeing the explosion in the beginning and the good times now as well, I am very proud of our accomplishments — Myth’s, and EN’s as a whole.

    Myth’s 4th anniversary has been a bittersweet moment for many fans. As a long time fan of idols — where saying goodbye is a natural part of the fandom — do you have any words of encouragement?

    Kiara: Well, I guess the good thing is that Ame can always show up again for bigger projects. It certainly won’t be super often, but there is this hope that she will still show us her smile every now and then. Amelia Watson will forever be here, and the time we spent with her will always be a great memory. Just like any other memory you made with the rest of us, too! Just because a good time has ended, it doesn’t diminish its greatness. Let’s look back on the fun memories.

    There’s also an interesting section talking about her finding her “music niche” within EN, but you should actually read the interview :P
