Evan Hashimoto @ US IdolFes

I’M GOING TO HURL…. 🤮 THANK YOU EVERYONE! this is an opportunity beyond my wildest dreams. before i started vtubing, i lost all my passion for singing and gave up on it for years… i really really thought it wasn’t meant for me and now that i’m a part of something bigger, i could almost burst into tears. i came into this space having no hopes or dreams to become a singer, a musician, or an idol… i faced so much rejection to the point where it didn’t even sting anymore. i just wanted to let go of the pressure of wanting to be good enough so i can have fun again… and i did! i fell back in love with the anime, games, and music i used to be obsessed with when i was a kid and also fell in love with the process of learning how to create for myself and not others… but maybe i’m starting to find my dream again too. is it really ok for me to have a dream again? i’m really glad i gave myself another chance and i hope i can inspire people to do the same. someone once told me: your time will come when you are ready to receive it… and i think i understand that now. i know that many were vying to be a part of this but please never give up hope! never compare your journey to someone else’s because we’re all in very different chapters of our lives. keep going and create the work that YOU want to see! i think i’m ready. i’m so grateful for this opportunity and will work hard everyday to put my entire heart and soul into this project! thank you to my oshi who inspired me to sing again. thank you to my genmates and the friends who always believed in me. thank you to my maeflowers for their unwavering support in these past few years. you really know how to make someone feel loved. and thank you to aegis-link for taking a chance on a small, unknown creator like me. and thank you to amalee, hybe, and TWC who sees the potential in me and my work. i am often reminded of the lyrics of the first original song i debuted with my genmates, “resurrection”, “we’re not the ones they warned you about… and right now, they’re all about to find out!” let’s unleash the power of our true potential!! now… LET’S MAKE SOME BANGER MUSIC!!!! 💜 (OK I CAN FINALLY GO TO SLEEP BEFORE 4AM NOW RAHHHH)

HI I'M MAEFAE, THE HARDCORE FLOWER FAIRY OF AEGIS-LINK AND NOW, TEAM AMALEE OF THE WILDCARD CLUB!!! 💜🥺🩵 i've been holding this in all month....
