Hololive’s Houshou Marine released a new song, and it topped 1.6 million views in a short span of time. On 5ch’s Nanimo Jikkyo G board (a general live-commentary board), users reacted with surprise to reports that she funds the entire production herself, while others were skeptical about whether the song is truly popular.
Already at 1.6 million views!

This girl always gets stuck singing crappy songs, kinda feel bad for her.
Then again, when you think about a middle-aged woman (obachan) being made to play this character, that's already sad enough on its own.

Even calling her an "auntie," she's still probably 10+ years younger than the average age on this board (nanG).

If I didn't even know this song existed until this thread, I wouldn't call it "popular."

Well, who knows really.
Right now it seems like it's mostly Marine's own fans listening to it.
If it hits like 10 million views, then it's the real deal.

She always gets an MMD (MikuMikuDance, a 3D animation tool) music video made for her songs, but it's kind of sad that only lower-tier, less popular MMD creators ever make them for her.
It's a song deliberately toeing the line of "oof, that's rough."

Well, she clearly knows there's demand for that sort of thing.
