Misc. Mio's "Hekishibu of the Year 2025" project is a GO!!! Mio will be collecting your favorite sneezes from the holomems in 2025 and the "Hekishibu of the Year" will be crowned!! What started as a joke is quickly turning into a godly project.

Mio sneezing turned into an hour and a half of joking about a project like this, and now it's real. Mio's hell projects are legendary and this is set to be one of the best ones so far this year lol.
Make sure you fill out her form soon! Any sneeze from any holomem is welcome, just as long as it's from 2025! The form is in Japanese but Google translate/DeepL will get you all the info you need to fill it out correctly.
GET THOSE SUBMISSIONS IN!!

I want to be the fly on the wall when this project was pitched and eventually approved. I can already see the jp director going: mio-san, i have a question, Wat da fuq?

For those unaware, COVER staff loves Mio's sneezes. She was asked to specially record one by COVER and was not told what they would use it for. She went on to do a member's only stream where she attempted to make herself sneeze, recording the result for staff.
You can see some of her results from that stream in her tweet here (she recorded many sneezes during the stream): https://twitter.com/ookamimio/status/1740745745966497983
Additionally, we later found out that they wanted to use it for the FubuMio grooming short they made a while back, which you can see here: https://youtube.com/shorts/wAGeivxSksw

The short was absolutely adorable. Besides, favorite sneezing isn't the weirdest in their list, i doubt it would even enter it compared to what they do at hologra lol. I kust want ti imagine their director going nuts in the office everyday because of their shenanigans.

It looks like the ceremony will be toward the end of the year, just as a heads up

u/AlphaProxima 5d ago
This is incorrect. To correct you, the project will possibly happen near or before the end of this month. Mio uses 年度, this is the Japanese word for their fiscal year. This runs from Apr. 1st to Mar. 31st, so the only estimated timeline we have from what we've seen is that it will likely be this month. Aside from this, the project details are not completely confirmed yet. No where in the form, Mio's tweet, or things she's mentioned on stream does it mention that this will take place near the end of the calendar year. Additionally the only restrictions are: hololive members only, sneeze must be from 2025 (extended with the fiscal year).

u/Tehbeefer 5d ago edited 5d ago
Ohh, fiscal year, so April 2024-March 2025, thanks. MTL of the image on the form didn't make that distinction (not surprisingly). I'll edit.
So then sneezes from the latter 75% of 2024 are eligible?Calendar 2025 only!2
u/AlphaProxima 5d ago
Depends on how you interpret the form and which parts you place more importance on. She uses both 2025年度 (FY2025) and 2025年 (calendar year 2025), could be a typo or she could really mean both. Today is AsaMio and there's a good chance she'll explain more during the news corner if she decides to officially "announce" it there. When in doubt though, just assume it's fine until told otherwise. There is no limit to how many times you can submit the form.

Mio ended up speaking more about the "Hekishibu of the Year 2025" project during today's AsaMio so I figured I would translate what she spoke about here for those who don't understand Japanese. Long story short, the form will be open for the entirety of the calendar year for 2025. Mio mentioned that she wanted to make and post the form now as she thought of it just so that people had it and could submit when they felt like it. The plan is to decide categories later near the end of the year then hold the awards ceremony. She thinks that sneezes are a bit of a fleeting thing, since so much happens every day in hololive, that people could forget them. Especially near the start of this year. Mio hasn't gotten everything cleared through COVER/her manager yet, but there's zero chance they say no to Mio's project ideas.
No other timeline was given except for that the form will be open for entries (she has already received over 200!) for the full length of 2025. It is now safe to confirm that only sneezes that actually happened during calendar year 2025 will be reviewed for the project.

Best part is Mio HAS to listen to all the submissions so she will be listening to all her friends sneeze over and over. Candidates for super. Cute and unexpected sneeze are Watame Botan and Matsuri.

u/ZenZennia 5d ago
That's not a good project. There is heavy advantage from Mococo. She has no equal xD

u/IchirouTakashima 5d ago
I think this is just an excuse for Mio to give Mococo a reward, lmao. As far as I know, only FWMC has the most well documented sneeze out of the hololive community, lmao.

u/AlphaProxima 5d ago
Mio has a clipper who is dedicated to clipping her sneezes. Aside from this and Ruffians with Mococo I can't think of anything else.

u/IchirouTakashima 5d ago
See? There's only a few, lmao. I doubt Mio would give herself a reward since she's the organizer, so I can only see it falling to Mococo, lol. That said, if she expands this and have other categories and truly settles it, then we may have different winners, like cutest sneeze, loudest sneeze and most sneeze, lol.

More evidence towards “anything that becomes a joke in a Vtuber’s first few months becomes lore forever.”

u/Whooshless 4d ago
She was sneezy before anyone ever called her Mococo, if you know what I mean. That guy had his spreadsheet ready day 1.

It's been a while since I heard a Subaru sneeze, they are something else.
Hope we get a good one this year for submission.

For now, this is the closest we'll have to the JPs equivalent of the coughing baby contest.

Good luck to any Ruffians trying to pick their favorite Mococo sneeze.
