hololive English VTuber Hakos Baelz took the time to speak with us on the heels of an incredible showing by her and other performers at hololive English’s third concert, All for One. The group’s embodiment of chaos put on a dance performance that brought literal deafening cheers from the audience. In addition to the talent for dance, Hakos Baelz has released plenty of music, including singles, an EP, and her first full album, ZODIAC, early last year. We chatted about her past, present, and future, going from original inspirations, to early touchpoints with hololive, to what she’s looking forward to in the next stages of her exciting career.
And I think for me recently, when I write lyrics, I just write down trains of thought and then I just rearrange it into something that can be used and that has musicality. We just kind of do a mix and match, maybe move some things here and other things there. But it normally comes from random trains of thought. On my notes app on my phone, just random phrases here and there that eventually become a song.
Now picturing Camellia’s reaction to Bae’s notes for Play Dice including “Yolo is my ninja way”
