Cover announced that its unit of Vtubers formerly named Hololive English Council will now include IRyS and become Hololive English Promise. The company is considering this a new unit, but it will consist of four talents from the original group. In addition, the VSinger project Project:HOPE closed. IRyS officially belongs to this new group instead as of October 8, 2023.
The five Vtubers in Hololive English Promise are IRyS, Ceres Fauna, Ouro Kronii, Nanashi Mumei, and Hakos Baelz. Fans of the original Hololive English Council may recognize that Tsukumo Sana is excluded from Hololive English Promise, as she graduated from her Vtuber activities in late July 2022. The idea is that this new group brings with it a brand-new concept separate from the Council’s original idea of observing humans from a distance.
Although their unit name has changed, the five members will continue to conduct their VTuber activities as usual. The new official hashtag for them is #holoPromise. Prior to this decision, IRyS often collaborated with the members of Council. She was also often included in merchandise for Council ahead of this decision. For example, when there were the 3D debuts, she was included with the other four. Acrylic stands for all five were sold at the same time. People can still purchase those.
In other news related to the group, Nanashi Mumei recently released a new song. “Mumei” is available on multiple streaming services.
The formerly named Hololive English Council is now under the unit name Hololive English Promise.
