Tokoyami Towa Learns “Deep Dive” Choreography From Todoroki Hajime in Their First Collab

HOLOLIVE — Tokoyami Towa of Hololive’s fourth generation (holoForce) spent an hour on Friday learning the choreography for “Deep Dive” from Todoroki Hajime of ReGLOSS, in a 3D stream billed as a dance lesson with Hajime as the teacher. It was the first time the two had streamed together.

They said the collab had been put off for about three years, after an early chance to face off in a game slipped by and left them unsure how to bring it up again. They joked about the awkwardness throughout, insisting more than once that they were not awkward. One of them said it was the first time they had booked a self-run 3D stream themselves.

The lesson opened with warm-up stretches, including a neck stretch where the teacher explained why the hand should pull rather than simply rest on the head. Hajime then broke the dance into counts: a kneeling dive from the head down, hip rolls, leg kicks, a body wave and arm motions likened to pulling off a T-shirt. Around the 26-minute mark one move drew sumo comparisons and laughter from the participants and chat. By about 42 minutes they had a rough shape of the full routine, took a break, and later tried parts of it against the music.

The talk then turned to how choreography is built, balancing lyrics against beats, and to daily exercise. The stream ended with a Crayon Shin-chan-style voice that chat picked up on. Chat filled with Towa’s emote and applause during the lesson, and seven Super Chats and Stickers came in.
