The VTuber girl group hololive English will release the original single “Odyssey” on Christmas Day 2024 (12/25 US time). The music style inherits the medieval legend style of the mythical group “Non-Fiction”. Considering that Ceres Fauna will graduate in January 2025, This is also the last time all holoEN members sing together.
During Christmas, both European, American and Japanese VTubers plan a variety of special programs in different time zones, and holoEN also takes turns to play 3D non-stop songs to accompany the audience through the holiday. As early as mid-December, Calli, Fuwa & Moco, and Bijou announced the release of a new single “Odyssey” through a collaboration.
At that time, it was seen that Amelia Watson, who had stopped live activities, appeared on the MV thumbnail cover. All fans were extremely excited. After all, this was the first time Ame “contributed her voice” to hololive content after she stopped her activities on September 30 this year. Natural Mother Fauna’s farewell song. Everyone knows that this holoEN song will be the last song to have a happy ending.

Today, “Odyssey” was officially launched on the Calli channel. It attracted 30,000 likes in the first two hours. From the complete myth group Promise, to the escape group Advent, to the law enforcement justice group Justice, each member has a unique voice interpretation Beautiful lyrics, combined with vertical illustrations of Nordic winter clothing, perfectly compose the adventure of holoEN’s gathering.
The lyrics of the chorus are translated as follows. The ancient Scandinavian runes are used at the beginning of the paragraph, ᛚᛁᛏᛅ ᚦᛁᚾᛋ ᛁᚴᛁᚾ ᛚᛁᚢᛋ/ᛋᛖᛖᚴ ᚤᛟᚢᚱ ᛟᚹᚾ ᛚᛁᚷᚺ ᛏ, the translation of ChatGPT means “the light will eventually belong to you/find your own light”.
Wandеring near and far Touching lives just like ours Lighting firеs ’til I’ve wasted away One day, I’ll recall these nights Our relentless odyssey Pressing onward, we never surrendered Toward the skies, we can rise again |
Roam around from near to far Touch the same lives as mine Light a bonfire until I fade away One day I will remember these nights Our never-ending journey Move forward and never give up Towards the sky we can finally soar again |
The epic melody and lyrics of “Odyssey” made fans in the comment area call it “the best fantasy in history”. Since this song was not released on the official holoEN channel, it was released on the Calli channel like Shinhwa Group’s song “Non-Fiction” , most likely organized by Calli at her own expense, and everyone thanked her for giving her the best Christmas gift.
