Holostars VTuber Jurard T Rexford has been moving like a full-on multimedia boss lately. In a new Siliconera interview, the COVER talent talked about his recent music cover, fresh outfit, voice drama work, charity streaming, and what he wants to build next.
For VTuber fans in Malaysia and SEA, this one is interesting because Jurard’s work sits right in that sweet spot between anime-style lore, streamer culture, music covers, and community-driven projects. It’s not just “new model, nice art” — he’s clearly trying to turn his character into a bigger creative universe.
The new outfit was planned way ahead
Jurard shared that planning for his latest outfit started months before the reveal. He had already been thinking about the direction around May 2025, including what kind of projects he wanted to roll out through 2026.
His recent cover of “Shinigami” was also part of that wider plan. According to Jurard, the song connected with his character lore because it reflected an inner conflict theme. The outfit did not decide the song choice, but it helped shape how the cover’s visuals would present that darker side of his character.
The biggest gaming reference? Devil May Cry.
Jurard said the new design took inspiration from DMC, especially after he got into the series and connected with Dante’s rebellious personality and complicated family background. He also joked about the overlap between Dante and his own lore as a dual pistol-wielding bounty hunter with demonic dinosaur powers.
Honestly, that tracks. VTuber designs already live in anime-game energy, and DMC influence gives the whole thing that stylish action edge.
Less screaming dinosaur, more sustainable Jurard
One surprisingly practical point: Jurard said the new look also supports a slightly more serious direction for his branding. Being the loud dinosaur prince of ARMIS is fun, but he noted that constantly keeping that energy up is not always healthy for his voice.
That part will hit home for anyone who follows streamers long-term. SEA fans love chaotic karaoke streams and high-energy collabs, but burnout and vocal strain are very real. A creator adjusting their style before it becomes a problem is actually smart, not “less hype.”
Music covers are becoming lore chapters
Jurard also explained that he chooses cover songs based on how well they fit his character story. He wants each release to feel like it adds something to his lore, not just copy the original song.
Past covers like “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” and “Otonoke” included animated versions of himself and ARMIS, because he felt those songs matched his relationship with his friends and character themes. He also mentioned that he started taking vocal coaching, despite initially thinking he would not continue singing after debut.
For fans, that means future Jurard music will probably be less random karaoke flex and more “anime OP for my OC” energy. Pretty fun, honestly.
Voice dramas are part of the bigger plan
Jurard also talked about Twilight of the End, the voice drama he put together in November 2025 with Holostars and Hololive members. He said he enjoys voice acting and writing, and sees a lot of potential in the wider Holostars lore space.
While the storylines in his voice packs are not official Hololive canon, he sees them as a way to imagine how characters could interact. He also handles sound engineering himself, giving the projects a more personal feel.
He confirmed he wants to keep making voice dramas, though they take time because of scripting, retakes, cast scheduling, and promotion. He is also working on independent voice content, including plans involving his genmates.
Charity stream raised over half a million pesos
One of the most meaningful parts of the interview was Jurard discussing his 12-hour charity stream for people affected by super typhoons in the Philippines. He chose Angat Buhay because of its reputation for transparency and public donation updates.
The stream raised over half a million Philippine pesos, around US$9,000 at the time of transfer. For SEA fans, this matters. VTuber communities here are not just passive audiences — they donate, translate, clip, organise, and show up when regional disasters happen.
Jurard said the experience proved he could create something entertaining while also helping people. Looking ahead, he teased more singing, voice content, special collabs, Bilibili anniversary plans, and something secret for 2027.
So yeah, Starmins may want to stay locked in. Jurard is clearly not treating VTubing as just daily streams. He’s building lore, music, community projects, and maybe a whole cinematic dinosaur empire. Gila, but in a good way.
