Gawr Gura Might Be Streaming On Twitch

Gawr Gura, a Hololive EN star, has discussed the possibility of switching from YouTube to Twitch — even for just one stream — as she reveals her content intentions for 2022. She’d be following in the footsteps of some of Hololive’s other stars who had made the switch, even if it was just for a short time.

Gawr Gura is the most well-known name in the world of VTubing, with approximately 4 million subscribers on YouTube. When the possibility of a Twitch stream was mentioned, fans’ eyes brightened up. Since her debut in 2020, the Hololive EN star has streamed entirely on YouTube, which has proven to be a huge success for her. 

However, with Hololive JP stars like Usada Pekora periodically stepping on the platform to widen their content base with things like reaction content, the group’s English stars could follow in their footsteps.

Gura said on stream; “‘How about a Twitch channel for [reaction content]?’ Some of the Hololive JP members stream on Twitch, they do watchalongs and stuff. I think it’s only a couple at a time. Nobody from EN has done that yet so I wonder if that’s something they’re going to want to do this year.”

Gura has no plans to stream on Twitch at this time. In fact, the VTuber expressed reservations about making the switch from YouTube to Amazon’s platform. Even if it’s only for one broadcast, she hasn’t ruled out the option. The main advantage is that Gura will be able to hold a more casual “Just Chatting” style stream with her friends, reacting to content like some of Twitch’s greatest personalities. 

She noted; “Twitch is different. It’s just a whole different atmosphere for streaming. At the end of the day it’s still streaming, but it’s just different,”

Gawr Gura’s transfer to Twitch would not be permanent; for the time being, Hololive’s roots are firmly planted in the YouTube ecosystem. A sea change, on the other hand, might open the door for additional people in the space to follow suit and start watching VTubers like VShojo on Twitch.
