Last month, COVER Corp. introduced a new music label for hololive production called hololive RECORDS. This marks the official establishment of hololive's music production and distribution efforts. The decision to create hololive RECORDS was driven by a desire to "carry these achievements and passion for music into the future" and to offer a platform for musical activities centered around their talents. Hololive's music has achieved significant success, with multiple songs charting on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, amassing millions of views online, and serving as theme songs for popular anime like Mori Calliope’s “Future Island” (One Piece) and “Go-Getters” (Suicide Squad ISEKAI), as well as Hoshimachi Suisei’s “I Don’t Care” (Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX). Interviews were conducted with Mori Calliope in 2023 and 2024, followed by a conversation with COVER Corp. CEO Motoaki Tanigo that same year. Hololive’s evolution has continued despite the graduations of notable talents such as Gawr Gura, Murasaki Shion, Ceres Fauna, Sakamata Chloe, Amelia Watson, and Minato Aqua. Hololive RECORDS was launched with the slogans “Music, voices, feelings – now and forever, they will be with you [translated]” and “Hololive’s music, broader, deeper, and freer [translated].” The announcement stated, “Any dream, any challenge, starts here. We’ll do everything that’s fun. A playground where ‘what I want to try’ is realized through music.” Hololive RECORDS builds on the joint label holo-n, formed in 2023 by Hololive and Universal Music Japan’s EMI Records, and follows Mori Calliope’s signing with EMI Records in 2022. According to Spotify, COVER Corp. holds the master copyright for Mori Calliope’s latest song, “Queen of the Night,” while Hololive RECORDS manages its publishing rights.

In a world where words often fall short, A Sign of Affection explores the delicate language of love through gestures, glances, and the unspoken.

As they learn each other's rhythms, Yuki and Itsuomi discover that affection isn’t always loud or dramatic.

(Koe no Katachi) is a deeply emotional anime film that explores themes of bullying, disability, guilt, and redemption. The story follows Shōya Ishida, a boy who, as a child, cruelly bullied Shōko Nishimiya, a deaf girl who transferred into his elementary school. When the bullying is exposed, Shōya is ostracized by his classmates and grows up isolated and wracked with guilt. Years later, Shōya sets out to make amends. He learns sign language and reconnects with Shōko, hoping to find forgiveness and rebuild the broken relationships from his past. As they navigate their shared pain and begin to heal, the film delves into the complexities of communication, self-worth, and the long road to emotional recovery. With stunning animation by Kyoto Animation and a hauntingly beautiful score, A Silent Voice is a powerful meditation on empathy and the impact of our actions.

A friend of mine from another community I used to run moved to Japan I talk to her here and there, she loves it there.

(Shiunji-ke no Kodomo-tachi) is a romantic comedy anime centered around Arata Shiunji and his six siblings — Banri, Seiha, Ouka, Minami, Shion, and Kotono — who live together in a prestigious household in Tokyo’s Seijō neighborhood. The story takes a dramatic turn when their father reveals that none of the siblings are biologically related. This revelation shatters their understanding of family and opens the door to unexpected emotional shifts. While the siblings initially promise to maintain their familial bonds, romantic tensions begin to surface — especially as several sisters start expressing feelings for Arata that go beyond sibling affection. Arata, who values their connection and wants to preserve the family dynamic, must navigate this complicated new reality while protecting the unity of the Shiunji household. The series blends humor, awkward romance, and heartfelt moments, exploring themes of identity, love, and what truly defines a family. Want help turning this into a character breakdown or adapting the dynamic into a community roleplay concept for Respawn Otaku? I’ve got ideas ready to go. There is a Season 2 in the works I will update when it releases View full entry

Overwatch 2

Anime has a unique way of telling stories that hit deep -- not just with flashy battles or tear-jerking romances, but with characters who face real-world challenges, including disabilities. From physical impairments to neurodivergence, anime often portrays these experiences with nuance, symbolism, and emotional weight. Take Shouko Nishimiya from A Silent Voice. Her deafness isn’t just a plot point — it’s the lens through which we explore bullying, guilt, and redemption. Or Nunnally Lamperouge from Code Geass, whose blindness and paralysis are woven into her strength and moral compass. Even March Comes in Like a Lion subtly explores depression and social anxiety through Rei’s internal battles. These portrayals aren’t always perfect, but they do something powerful: they humanize. They invite viewers to empathize, to reflect, and to see beyond the surface. In a world where disability is often misunderstood or invisible, anime can be a bridge — not just for representation, but for connection. So yes, anime can absolutely be a good way for people to understand others. It’s not a substitute for lived experience or real-world advocacy, but it’s a start. And sometimes, a story is what opens the door to compassion. If you are looking for more anime that hit like A Silent Voice, Might I make a few suggestions!
