I worked with mouse for a few voice lines in my video. She was immediately very nice, approachable, and was honestly a lot of fun to work with. I wasn't even a very big channel relative to her.
holy fuck! AYYYY MAX0R
Max0r our man
OMG!!! YOU DA MAN!!!
Greetings sentient editing software
Sometimes you humble yourself a little too much.
"A girl as small as a mouse but as strong as iron" Well said Nousagi.
thats what somebody once said to mousey thus how she become "ironmouse"
So true so true
@_*ZAPATOZ*_ Iron within Iron awaits you, Bubi!
@_*ZAPATOZ*_ since Mouse became Perturabo LOL
That hit deep
Ironmouse dynamic with Connor is something unique
While she treats everyone with care, the monke gets... a different treatment
But his message during her birthday made me cry though
And then there's him showing Japan to her through a camera since she's unable to go around due to health reason
Everytime these two do a collab, it always makes me smile
both the banter and the bond they have is simply irreplacable
That Japan trip Connor took her on made me cry
I think the thing that makes it so special is that you can just tell they really are best friends even off camera despite being so different and existing in completely separate spheres and halfway across the world. But unlike a lot of content creators who are really close and usually know each other from before they even started making content and spend a lot of time together irl, you can basically watch Connor and Mouse's relationship develop from the first time they met until today and pretty much all of it is documented since Mousey pretty much lives on stream. It's like watching a friendship grow in real time and that's very unique and wholesome.
If you want to see one of their first official collabs, you can look up Lewdcast Podcast on UA-cam and you can see Connor when he was a guest - in Vtuber form no less.
Also Takahata right before he debuted too. (This is the influence of Mouse, Silver and Melody) - other people see opportunity and join like Takahata and his group (Cimrai, Froggy, so forth and so on), It's also the basis for Vshojo as everyone except Froot and Hime were guests on lewdcast
Putting shipping away, Connor is that ONE special friend to her.
I can't believe an ad is hitting on me...
Also Ironmouse's upbringing in VTubing is so loved and accepted because she just wanted company and to have fun during her hard times. I'm so happy to see her shine bright and remain so wholesome and humble at the top.
She manipulated her way at the top because she has health issues. Just saying though. If people were honest with you.
@@Featheryfaith7 bro.. what?
@@linart8555 I can tell you were never a fan.
@@Featheryfaith7 you're literally using that as an excuse as to why she got popular while completely ignoring all her efforts and thats just messed up
@@linart8555 I guess you never watched how vtubers manipulate you. Now that is messed up..
Mouse is not only the Ambassador of Vtubing. She is one of the strongest, funniest, sweetest people in existence.
Oh and your closing sentiments Nousagi? Chefs Kiss
She has a 14yo daughter.
@@awman7771 Who does?

...=O... Damn. Well played.
There's no one that loves VTubers and VTubing as much as Ironmouse. She is constantly supporting artists in the community by commissioning models and assets, makes entire streams about showcasing and promoting smaller VTubers in the community, promoting the medium to people outside in interviews and her talk show, and even promoting other big players like Hololive and Nijisanji debuts on her streams. Her streams start with a starting soon screen filled to the bream with VTubers and ends with a scrolling reel filled with even more VTubers, her backgrounds have lots of references to the VTuber friends she made along the way. Her lore videos had cameos from both Hololive and Nijisanji as well as smaller indie VTubers.
Every stream she does brings others along with her. Every milestone she hits, she shares with the rest of the community. Every article or interview she gets, she shows how magical and life changing the medium can be. That sincere love of VTubing and VTubers themselves is what makes one of the best things that ever happened in this industry.
This is so true. She also just loves people and wants everyone to have fun. She ran that contest recently for the precious family mascot, and she was sincerely heartbroken that not everyone could win, to the point of crying.
She's also so accepting and understanding, never assuming ill will of anyone. It's why she's such a great ambassador. There was the incident where Asmongold said some things that people took as attacking VTubers, and he got some heat from it. She just decided to bring him on her show. People thought there would be drama, but then they just hung out and chatted and had fun for a couple hours. The preconceptions of Asmon's audience were turned on their heads. "Oh, that's not what I expected... She's actually just a cool person." It was great.
That's debatable because we don't fully know what everyone else thinks about vtubing as a whole.
@@BeyondDaX The response on his subreddit was overwhelmingly positive, including many who said their mind was changed. Obviously that doesn't represent every single person, but it's certainly true for many.
Thank you I've been saying she's just such a perfect ambassador for vtubers for a while now. There's really no one else that could have gotten me into this crazy world. I didn't even watch anime or read manga. But it's impossible to not love ironmouse, and it's impossible for her joy and support of all these amazing talented people to not spill over.
There's a significant part of her story that I haven't seen covered well, or at least, not all the pieces put together.
Her mother had her at a relatively older age, unexpectedly. She's much younger than her siblings, and her parents are quite elderly at this point. They were never able to really retire because of her medical expenses. You noted that her channel started taking off right around March and April of 2020. That was exactly when the pandemic lockdowns started. As such, her parents couldn't continue to work, and didn't know how they would manage, and they had considerable debt.
But Mouse got lucky for the first time in her life; her channel was taking off exactly when it needed to. She got partnered in May of 2020, and started taking over some of the bills, and her income continued exploding from there. Last Christmas, she paid off their house. She's moving into a new house in a few weeks, with more space and facilities to assist with her condition.
It's worth noting just how early she was - she started in August of 2017, which is a few months before *Tokino Sora*. Her channel blew up in spring of 2020, several months before Myth debuted.
She's also the exemplar of the potential of VTubing. The Internet has definitely created opportunities for the disabled, but using an avatar opens up more possibilities for more people. She's able to put on a concert while propped up in bed with an oxygen tube in her nose. Others with severe illnesses, disabilities, or severe disfigurement have the opportunity to rejoin the world in ways that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
I'm most definitely not a religious person, but that is absolutely nothing short of a miracle. One that came from world circumstances outside anyone's reach and a lot of hard work from Mouse.
Also I'm absolutely impressed at how humble and reserved she is about not bringing up her seniority in the VTubing world; heck, even MORE impressive, in ENVTubing world at such an early stage.
I guess it's tacky and snooty to bring it up but having that title is absolutely impressive and respectable to me.
This deserves to be pinned. Her life is such a wholesome story that arose from struggle.
You seem to know a lot about her. Is it true that Mouse is an actual mouse? I keep seeing pictures of her now deleted and very very old tweets, where she talks about buying cheese for her mouse needs and stuff.
@@transformersrevenge9 It's not very cool of you to go around asking for that kind of info, friend.
If those tweets existed, and if she deleted them, then she undoubtedly had a reason to do so.
Hmmm you must be a top fan to know such detailed information.
I didn’t watch that much ironmouse but watching her is like watching your child take their first steps in a way and she was a very inspirational person ❤️😭🙏
"A girl as small as a mouse but as strong as iron"
Holyshit my spine can feel the chill and my eyes are in tear rn
Me too man 😤😭
Ironically, I found Hololive through Ironmouse. Mousey is such an absolute delight to watch and I really really love her singing capabilities. Learning more about her condition made me respect her more than any other content creator.
then she still became a foundation of vshojo, became friends with other famous vtubers like kson, veibae, nyanners and silvervale
I found hololive through Melody because of her camgirl drama arc of all things. That incident was all the algorithm needed to start recommending me vtuber clips
@@kokorochacarero8003 For me I was casually following Nux and for some reason her history of Hentai video popped up. I watched that, saw the smooth delivery of the model and new that something was going down. (Nux hadn't evn collabed with her yet - after that all of a sudden there were a ton of these collabs with Mouse, Silver, Jeannie and Henry from Mxrp plays, whom i followed, then Nagzz, noble and Koefficient popped up and tons and tons of clips - At the time I thought these were all UA-camrs.
Then I discovered Twitch and for me the rest is history
Ditto for me.
When you think about it, it must've been surreal for Ironmouse at first to make friends with someone as big as Connor in the beginning. And now we've seen her interact with the likes of the Hologirls, other big names of Twitch, Anthony Padilla and a fucking sentient editing machine.
Ironmouse, despite her condition, is full of life and her positivity is overwhelming.
She's so inspiring. My favorite part is when she rarely sings in her opera voice, and even though she is bright, you can feel a hint of melancholy in her voice and it brings me to tears, she quite literally puts all she has into entertaining her audience
If you are ill, how can you work? I cant even hold a job. Sounds sus to me. She just manipulated her way at the top. I noticed that as a fan.
@@Featheryfaith7 how did she manpulate exactly?
@Versatile As she’s said a few times (& as someone who suffers from chronic pain, I can fully relate) : at some point you just get used to feeling like crap everyday, and you manage to get yourself functional in spite of it. Then when you start feeling better, suddenly it’s like walking around with weights finally being removed from your legs, and you get more energetic than how you were before.
You can see it especially when Mouse uses her “opera voice”: At first, she could barely go thru a whole minute without running out of breath & wearing out her vocal cords. But after years of finally getting enough money to pay for continuous plasma transfusions & physical therapy, she’s able to gain a lot more of her former strength, and can use her “opera voice” for entire 4min songs now.
And to answer your question of “if you are ill, how can you work?” - Streaming just requires putting your face in front of a camera & moving your mouth & arms. Much less work compared to driving to an office (hence the spike in ppl working desk jobs from home), and especially compared to jobs that require lots of physical movement & muscle strength. :P
Cant believe you actually got Nene Amano to VA... your influence is growing stronger.
!!!! Nene is awesome !!!

He outsourced his sponsor job. Big brain.
@@damasake what if she was his oshi and this was just super special informetial akasupa
@@damasake big brain indeed.
While streaming culture has its ups and downs, one thing that I absolutely love about it is that it lets people that previously wouldn't be able to pursue a career in entertainment have the opportunity to be successful. Even just a decade ago someone with a condition like mouse's would probably have struggled to find work of any type let alone a job that she was actually passionate about, but now she can stream to thousands of people from her bedroom and still be super entertaining.
First Pippa and now, Nene Amano.
Chad Nousagi is WINNING RABBIT.
she had nothing to lose by vtubing
so she had nothing to hide
it's that openness and honesty that really makes her so endearing
This is Roxy's note to Ironmouse for her 4th anniversary stream. Roxy is the head of her moderating team, and something of a legend in the community.
"Approximately 4 years ago, late into the wee hours of the night, I was dealing with my usual bout of insomnia. I decided to surf the interwebs and ended up logging on to 'Streaming Company Not Worth Mentioning'. It was there where a thumbnail of an 'anime girl' got my attention. So I clicked on it and to my surprise I heard the sweetest little voice expressing some very heart-breaking feelings. I found myself unable to click out of the stream and wanted to know more about this sweet girl on my screen. This kind, funny, sassy girl had me hook, line and sinker. I ended up watching her as frequently as possible and with every stream I became more aware of just how incredibly talented she was and I just knew she was destined to be a star. Fast forward to August 2021 and this same gifted girl has amassed thousands of beloved fans that have fallen in love with her heart, just as I did all those years ago.
My sweet, kind, caring, generous, selfless, loving Tiniest Mojo, you have come so far and with every milestone I cheer you on in the background filled with so much overwhelming joy and excitement for you. Your hard work and determination has made all this possible and I know there is a lot more success to come for you. You are the embodiment of grit and resolve and you have become a beacon of light and hope for your community. I'm so very fortunate to know someone like you and to have someone like you in my life. Here's to 4 more or 400 more years of success, and many years of being a thorn in your side, defending all you have built.
Happy anniversary my pocket-sized ray of sunshine! You deserve all that is good in this world. I love you dearly.
- Roxy"
Her prediction of "destined to be a star" is right on the money. Ironmouse is kind, inspiring, funny, and talented, but she also has that X-factor, star-power charisma that makes her addicting to watch. She's a gravitational force. It's no wonder she's friends with everyone, and in many ways, become the center of the Vtubing universe. She's one of relatively few people who can collaborate with anyone; flesh-tubers, indies, Nijisanji, any branch of Hololive, etc. Who else has cameos from both Nijisanji and Hololive in their lore video and channel trailer?
I think what iron mouses story can teach us is that there are always opportunities you have no matter the situation and as long as you keep looking for a way to better your situation you will find it and sometimes that curse you had with enough effort might just turn into a blessing.
Well, it teaches us that there CAN be opportunities not that they are always there. She is exceedingly lucky. Hard work is never enough. You work hard for long enough and hopefully you maximize your chances to get lucky but you need to get lucky.
@@kyleleehufnagel well I think the possibility is enough for you to keep working hard especially since even if you do get lucky you still need to work hard to actualize that opportunity.
@@kyleleehufnagel It's not really luck. Hard work and talent can pay off given enough time. The longer you work at it, the more chances you have to get your break. It took Ironmouse two and a half years to get her break. Luck becomes a factor for someone who can't put in the years of effort that might be required. But Ironmouse couldn't have a job or social life, so she had the time. She also had charisma and training in the performing arts, and the wisdom from facing hardship and having way too much time alone with her thoughts.
@@fwiffo you just described “getting lucky.” That’s what a break is; getting lucky. Hard work is a requirement for anyone to succeed (for those who don’t otherwise have wealth or power already.) Hard work itself doesn’t create success, you need to get lucky on top of that hard work. Labor + Opportunity = “success.”
Hell the hardest workers I’ve ever known are people struggling doing retail jobs for 9 bucks an hour. They certainly ain’t succeeding, they are barely even keeping their head above water and in most cases they aren’t even doing that.
Only if you manipulate others...
Buisness.
I got goosebumps watching this video, just from seeing the growth Mouse had. She truly is an inspiration and I hope she can grow bigger as a content creator and inspire many more people
She literally became one of my pillars to look up to whenever I feel down, whenever I feel like life is just too much, and that's why I'm so happy how it turned out for her, and her interaction with the Monkey is just too hilarious
(Edit for spelling) Vshojo, for all my criticisms towards it & many of its members, struck gold with Mouse.
I have an insane amount of respect for her. For how far she's come, for *what* she's overcome, & for who she is. & Better is that she tries to boost others. She feels... real.
I struggle to like Vshojo for a variety of reasons. But, I like Mouse. I really like Mouse.
exactly! as much as i may dislike things around her i just can't bring myself to not like her as much as i wonder about it
Consider what drama happen towards Nuxtaku and how Vshojo respond poorly about it.
Its not suprise how their got backslash after it
@@zerosuitsamus2340, I think they responded by not interfering at all? They don't seem to have any hold on what their talents do anymore.
Plus, Kson seems to be on good terms with Nux, even after joining Vshojo.
@@zerosuitsamus2340 Mouse and Zentreya are the ONLY talents in Vshojo man enough to publicly apologized to Nux after that Drama. That's why nobody can really hate her even after that drama, it's settled for her already, and people accepted it.
Of all the people who made it big in the vtuber scene, I'm most glad mouse is one of them. After watching this I went back to the video where I stumbled upon her, when she met her 250 day goal for "a better workspace" in under 10 minutes, and I'm reminded of how far she's come. Like one commenter said there "you take for granted being able to sit in a chair". I remember the first time she ate oatmeal on stream and we could hear the spoon clinking on the bowl, we all lost our collective shit. And now she's getting a proper desk and full body vr.
She is definitely one of the most inspirational people I've encountered
It's like Churchill once said : If you're going through hell. Keep going.
Mouse is the very embodiment of this quote.
To my memory, silvervale and ironmouse got the real boost into the spotlight from melody, after melody started streaming on twitch. Melody's brief headline of pissing off normal camgirls by getting way more money as a vtuber on the sight hit the west several months before hololive would see much western popularity. Melody ended up very frequently doing stuff with silver and mouse like starting lewdcast and they did pretty well. Then after months of this solid success, the perfect storm hit. Hololive had also impacted the western internet and at the same time, nyanners had started vtubing, someone who already had a fair amount of successful history on the internet and a sizeable audience. When silver, mouse and melody collabed with nyanners (on fall guys IIRC), that was the beginning of what would become vshojo. From there, she had great success and as you covered got further boosts from the dynamic with connor and from the subathon.
I still think one of the most heartwarming clips of all time was when mouse was doing a donation goal to buy a better setup for her room and they reached the goal in the first few seconds while mouse was explaining it and she was so happy she cried. If that doesn't make you feel something, you're made of stone.
I’ve had this wild idea for a few months: one day far in the future (20-30 years) Ironmouse will give a TED talk. A real TED talk on the stage in front of everyone. The story of her life is inspiring and I think she’d have a lot of significant things to say. Whatever happens I’ll be watching, supporting, and cheering her on. 💜
Mousey is truly amazing! She is a Vtuber Legend with a story of triumph which will no doubt continue to inspire many for years to come! And like Ollie, she is a rallying point for vtuber unity!
Mousey is basically the Gura of twitch lmao both reigned the 2 websites as queen
gura didn't do jack shit
i will correct you in one thing: She is the Gura + Sora of Twitch.
@@synkadus except being the most famous Vtuber ever that is. Isn't it amazing to be the best just by existing? That's even more outrageous lol
@@lolcall5295 i feel like Mouse is more popular atm
@@nore5888 hardly. I mean just gura's twitter followers alone surpassed that of ironmouse's twitch's followers which is her main platform. That's just how crazy popular gura is. She's obviously the most popular on youtube with more than 4 m subs. On every single list of the most popular vtuber ever, on every video or every blog or post or whatever, her name always comes out on top. Everyone in the industry knows her, every fans from every community knows her. That's just how crazy popular she is.
Nice our guy getting sponsored.
She is one of the most inspiring and hardworking person i have ever watch, she didn't let her illness stop her from doing what she wanted, to meet more people and have fun, It became a purpose to entertain and spread happiness.💕💕💕💕💕
Mouse and Connor are an absolute gem, relationships like that are very rare and they both have such a huge amount of respect for each other. Seeing them both flourish on Twitch together has been incredible to watch. Nothing beats an Ironmouse and Connor collab.
It's so crazy how influential Mouse is now. It's like every content creator especially on Twitch only has maybe a few degrees of separation from her.
Mousey is genuinely one of the most deserving of success content creators out there. She is so humble and genuine and you can tell how much she loves vtubing and the community and how much she tries to give back. And it's also obvious that she was never in it for the money despite needing it more than most creators, she clearly just genuinely loves it and I'm sure even if she was still streaming to 15 viewers she'd be doing it anyway. Mousey is the ambassador for vtubing because she wants to be, it's something she is so passionate about to the point where every time she talks to someone outside the community she always is trying to convince them to become a vtuber, because she knows better than anybody the real meaning and value of the medium. And yeah, she's been at it forever, even before SORA, which is impressive in its own right.
As a vtuber fan it's hard to see her genuine passion and not like her, and even for a normie she is the clearest example of what the medium has to offer that is genuinely special and one of a kind and is able to show them the value of vtubing in a way that no one else can. Her interview with Doctor K is the prime example, so many people in the comments said that they always had negative opinions about vtubers but she changed their minds.
Ironmouse has to be one of the sweetest people in the world.
damn i almost cried watching this video....🤧
Cant wait for Ironmouse to pull up in Japan with a hazmat suit in a wheelchair going "aye wassup holmes" to Connor in a bar while he's wine tasting.
This is a very interesting story on the one hand ironmouse was very unlucky to be born with a medical condition but on the other hand it's quite likely that if she was born in even slightly different conditions she would not have what she has now some could even say that she was lucky but I would say she deserves the fame that she has because she worked for it and earned it fairly it's simple she saw an opportunity and she took it that's how every person basically achieves any goal so I definitely think she deserves it especially since you can't maintain success on luck alone.
Though I’ve only seen clips of Ironmouse myself, I feel as though she has touched all of the English indie community. I’ll see her in comments sections everywhere and in events of all kinds. She’s such a community leader and I thank her for all her hard work in bringing our community together! ❤
Usually I King Crimson the ads but not this one.
Well played Mr. Nousagi. Well played
Mousey is impossible to hate. People may not like VShojo for various reasons, but nobody dislikes IronMouse. She's just so damn wholesome. And that opera voice!
That depends...not gonna say anything further.
Impossible is such a strong word..
There are some that hate her (not me btw coz I don't watch her)
some of y’all in the replies are such mood spoilers, obliviously it’s impossible for someone to have no haters but y’all take it to seriously, just let a positive and wholesome comment live for once ffs 😭 way to ruin a positive comment
"Small as a mouse
Strong as iron"
This quote make me smile
❤❤❤
She's a real life Komi san, and I guess Connor is her Tadano.
Jokes aside though, that's the reason I follow her, for many, you follow because they're cute, funny, entertaining, but for her, aside from those, you can't help but admire the strength of her character. Life took everything from her and still wasn't able to keep her down. She stared into the abyss and proceeded to punch it in the face. What's not to like about that?
Their relationship feels more like Hana Uzaki and Shinichi Sakurai.
A certain welshman who invaded her life
Conler: Yh.... we like to do some colonizing aroung here (god save the queen intensifies)
And how did she become the queen?
FOUR BIG GUYS
Everyone vote ironmouse as content creator of the year in the game awards!!?
That world of warship plug was excellent 😂
I love Ironmouse so much. I feel like if I knew of a way to see the watch time for stream viewers, she'd be my most watched streamer for sure
Bruh it’s 3am here. Let me sleep.
well, its 3pm here.
Well it's 10 am here.
NO SLEEP
Sleep be like:Alright i'mma head out
Man i really wanted to find out how ironmouse came to be what she is today and this video genuinely made me cry, not because of sadness but from aspiration. I myself am trying to become a youtuber maybe not as succesful but someone that people could look up to.
I kinda miss her old model with pink sweater. Her newer ones looks more and more like a Bratz doll then anime art style. Which I guess is fine and unique to her but personally I just like the anime artstyle more.
If you ever want to know what true friendship is like watch Connor and Ironmouse
As someone with Spinabifida and hydrocephalus plus a few other issues thanks to my dads exposure to agent orange in Vietnam ironmouse is very inspiring, I don't think I'll ever get into vtubing but I certainly wont believe it's all over because I can't work
Congrats on your sponsorship!
lol, remember when having a sponsor or a patreon was being a sellout? I'm happy we have grown up as an audience.
I remember cryin like baby first time i hear her opera singing absolutely imo one of the best in the industry
Dang... I didn't know she even had a condition, and I don't care. She's cool and is fun to see her interacting with people. She doesn't let that drag her down and frankly how it should be. At least now I have a deeper appreciation for her, thanks for making this video.
She doesn't let that drag her down, indeed, and as a matter of fact she lets that unrighteous pity drag her to fame. Lies can only get you so far
Woaw... I guess I'm not the only one Struggling in life.
I am Latino, 26 years old, Diagnosed with Dixlexia and I don't have friends, no Gf, neither a fultime job cuz is Godam competitive.
Maybe... just Maybe... I may also try to become a "Male Vtuber" and possibly shake hands with Ironmouse someday.
Just maybe... if only I had a friend who can help me understand the software and help me become the Vtuber I wanna be
cuz Alone I can't do it.
Ironmouse is proof that the internet wasn’t a complete mistake.
tbh hiring VAs and turning an ad into an anime girl is a giga brain high IQ move, well played nousagi.
you described her so well. 💕 you have such a kinder soul Nousagi.
Watch her video with Dr. K, o rarelt do but i did cry from her story. Idk how she can be so positive and live so humbly.
9:36 truly hits hard bro
Same 😭😭😭😭
if there’s a 12 knights for Sora
then Mousey’s have the 3 legendary sannins lmao
The ads is actually....... Works
If companies made their ads like that id actually watch them
i got goosebumps when he said "A girl as small as a mouse, but as strong as iron." amazingly put man
6:48 can't believe mousey is actually connor bro.
my journey into vtubers was thru connor. i wouldn't be into this rabbit hole if it wasn't for mouse and monke
ps, you're gonna make mouse cry if she sees this.
The power of ara ara compels me.
Yeah mouse is wholesome and I am so glad she is such a force in this industry
Your the only one
Aint no way I just replayed the ad
ironmouse is my friend, his name is tristan and he's using a voicechanger lmao he got yall fooled
the story of an Extrovert being forced to live the Introvert life & becoming the most beloved VTuber who deserves the most love & support
Amazing video dude, i got chills.
"YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE FROM HER"
That's a phrase i always see and can agree as well about her. I literally an example, she also was even around as the same time as Sora if you think about it too.
Some said: "but she bring Nyanners and..."
EFF OFF!! Ironmouse is probably one of the few people i know who remain neutral but posive over all of other people's problem and a good influence for everyones around her. It's not suprice she is one of the few Vtubers who has the YT algorithm recommending her channel, videos and even any clip of her as well.
There's some controversy around her but it's pretty minor. Just something people wish she was more open about, but it's understandable why she isn't.
Edit: no it's not related to her disease. Some people thinks she's faking that, but that seems pretty far fetched.
Especially about the infamous Nux incident... Many obviously stay away from Nux & Nyanners, but very very VERY i mean VERY few who avoid IronMouse but those are people who rarely watch IronMouse. Not only that our Tungsten Rat is 1 of the most neutral, but also 1 of the most genuine Internet Personality we've ever met. Not enough? Watch the video where our Monke "bring" Mousey to Japan.
Its usually just people who find her a threat coz shes becoming too big and not working for hololive
Personally i see her that after Nux drama she really wanted to avoid problems like that, improving, getting better and do much more for herself. Something that i don't see by other members (Y'know Nyanners 🤢, Melody 🤢, Veibae 🤢, Silvervale and Froot 🤢.)
@@pyroV12 What? The only member of VShojo who makes a habit of starting drama is Veibae, and even then it's usually pretty mild.
No, pretty much all of the girls have avoided getting into drama, Worked on their own content, and done just about all you could ask them to after the Nux drama.
Best sponsor section ever
Edit: oh I thought it would only be first thing and not more than just that lol
Why would I play war of warships when Kancolle and Azur Lane exist which actually align with my Vtuber watching ass' interests?
thanks i was waiting for this.what a nice video. i've got goosebumps. donate plasma guys :)
Discovered mousey 2 years ago and its one of the best things ever
Great.. I’m sitting at work, assembling boxes and crying my eyes out.. Thanks for the video my guy..
She’s one of the primary reasons I and I think many others want to become vtubers in the future. To be she’s one of the people who I think represents what the best of the community and creativity of vtubers are
I’m extremely shy and timid and her personality is so inspiring, I want to one day be able to joke and be the way she is without being scared of what someone thinks
I kennat believe you forgot about her piloting chris broad like a mecha for IRL streams, haha JK
you know you’re the queen when you can collb with Hololive Nijisanji Twitch and YT streaming giants
I mean, im pretty sure they take her as a "make a wish" child more than a Queen
@@GrEEnF1Re1 nah
@@GrEEnF1Re1 wow you really hate ironmouse that much
9:37 this gave me goosebumps
That’s wassup. I found this video because I was curious who this channel was she currently as I write this is the most subbed content creator on twitch she has 18,000 more subs than Kai Cenat who is number 2 this month. Her total subs currently are 133,226
Nousagi, you've missed a bit in your research. I became aware of VTubers due to Projekt Melody's initial 'controversy' on CB. In mid-March 2020, Melody told her audience, of 10k+ on CB, that they should checkout Ironmouse on Twitch. It was at that point I frequented Ironmouse streams, her viewers jumped from 30-50 to 500-1k+ within weeks. Mouse knows what happened, which is why you can find clips of Mouse gushing about Melody and telling her, in some genuinely sweet VRChat moments, that she wouldn't be where she is without her.
Mouse would've probably still made it to where she is now, due to her persistence and ability to entertain, but Melody def gave her a mega boost in those early days both directly and indirectly.
I was actually aware of this too! Though, I felt like--while yes, this is undoubtedly an important step for Mouse. Melody's presence pretty much jumpstarted *alot* of Twitch VTubers, which is why added an addendum during the Melody incident that she was key for not only Mouth's gross, but for Twitch VTubers as a whole. But yes, looking back at it, i think i should have mentioned this briefly
Video starts at 2:15 you’re welcome
The old time ironmouse will always be a treasure for me... it was a nice time when you dont really have much things in your face and just see her and talk to her. i have a parasocial one sure but it was a vibe where i feel like i was actually talking to someone... even when she has nothing grand like any vtubers, just the connection with her being a geek and all just resonates me and will always be a memory i hold most...
though good times comes to an end for me... as she grows bigger, more stuff has pile up one after another, where now is just complete different. while i myself have often gatekeep it so hard in the past because of fearing losing the one i care for, Eventually it's just a reality where i have to accept and admit defeat... ironmouse for me was never really the most entertaining, usually i just be the blind idiot that claps on anything that she does, call everything she makes an amazing masterpiece despite really not enjoying much at all and just cope my way for her, the only thing that i love about her was the connection...though Ironmouse got actual friends now, meanwhile im slowly mushing in the massive numbers no matter how much of an early fan i was... it would just mean nothing to her in the end... so is it worth it for me? i think that to myself...
I felt like me and ironmouse was the two geek friends who used to hangout but later she became the popular kid and as more people surrounding her, im slowly pushed further away... maybe a bit weird for that comparison, maybe i dunno alright... im just an idiot as a clown probably... Im glad to be called as such because i feel like i deserve it... it's my fault for being a pathethic loser, afterall...
Nowadays, im just not really vibing with her recent stuff, even the 5th year anniversary was not really hyping me enough to go back watching her... i dont like the lore, and the models was just not for me... no matter how the people on the internet would like to convince me otherwise, like i said, she's not the same ironmouse i love and have been a fan of... though god forbid for you to say anything bad about her... "they all just being mean to me blah blah" is something i can tell from a mile away to which i dont really care now, i'm just happy she can step ahead with a bright smile on her face... having her bright smile for the future is good enough for me... will I ever enjoy watching her one day? maybe... if there's something really blows me away but from what im seeing i dont really think i would come back to vshojo in general anytime soon even... I have lost my enjoyment with her streams but i'm sure some people can have their own enjoyment from her current ones regardless...
life is short, so enjoy the little things as much as you can.
Mother Trucker you made me Cry again...sniff.."A Girl as small as a Mouse but as Strong as iron...gets me eveytime
That's why her name fits her. This mouse is literally as strong as iron.
Whenever I talk to people about vtubers who have no idea I say the same thing you do about Mousey: She's impossible to hate. Whether or not someone finds the medium of vtubing to be weird or cool, Mouse can transcend the barrier because of who she is and how tough her life has been. She's unique and overall a great person, Mousey love
Even for me as someone who doesn't really care for live content outside of Holo EN even I can't help but want the world for Ironmouse. you just can't say enough good things about her. I'd love to see her colab with Gura one day.
For as many skeevy, malicious things modern information technology has helped enable, it's great to have reminders like this to show how used right they can enable great things as well.
Tungstenrat is better than ironmouse
Nah it CopperCat

Hey! I recognize that warship! (Didn't wake up today expecting to type that...)
"She's here to Genuinely Talk and Make New Friends and Only Means of Communicating to the Outside World" Imagine if Internet or Let Alone Vtubing didn't exist, it might have been abit of a different story, but feeling happy Ironmouse is achieving alot and having the comfort she deserves.
Those who fall will be forgotten. Those who rise up, their names will be remembered forever.
Can't wait to see her react to this and cry on steam lol.
I found Ironmouse cause I wanted to find more Spanish-speaking Vtubers. she may not speak spanish all the time but it was a good find indeed
I know many people would dunk on the anime itself, but Ironmouse's scenario is similar to the "Mother's Rosario" arc of Sword Art Online.
Even though I've only just learned about her existence, Ironmouse is kind of like Konno Yuuki, except that the former's strongest weapon, aside from her personality and kindness, is her voice.
Truly a mouse with an iron will, despite her circumstances. Well-deserving of her name.
I thought most of her popularity was because of connor
