Congratulations on the release of Journey. We surveyed as many lovely IRyStocrats to make this event happen!
With the release of Journey, Evan came up with the idea of showing IRyS how much IRyStocrats love the album!
We finally decided to make a photographic mosaic with as many pictures of the physical album that IRyStocrats have purchased, and try to post the event to IRyS through Twitter, with messages attached below from as many members as we could!
We've also organized a survey in addition to the photographic mosaic asking a series of questions on how the members liked the album.
We thought this would be a good opportunity to show our appreciation for IRyS's hard work and the amount of support our lovely
IRyStocrats have!
Wow, Graphs!
We asked the IRyStocrats their favorite song in Journey, how they listen to it, and if they are from overseas or within Japan.
This is the result we collected from the survey with 109 album submissions.
I'm really impressed by it. The power of the songs are like shockwaves that pushes into my heart, but the slower parts are gentle enough to make me calm. The EP Journey is just like I've been through a journey full of Hope!
Journey EP is the beginning that I really noticed how beautiful IRyS' voice is. And it lead me to a journey of being an IRyStocrat, a journey that will never end. Thanks for doing so much.
It's a very nice ep, like all song. only in hope gave me power to hard work. lovedddddddddd
I like every song in the EP, But joy with you is different, IRyS sing this song has give me brave to live in life, when I meet something sadness, it remind me the song, and I will be brave to face the tough things, thank you IRyS! Bring hope to us🥰🥰
Journey is so good. I can’t forget Nameless Sadness which is really touch my heart. It is so nice
The melody and lyrics of each song are great! Thank you for bringing hope to me with your voice. I hope you will be healthy and happy in the future. I will always support you~
Every single song has it’s unique charm, lyrics and style. With IRyS’s perfect voice. Making me keep listening to it. It’s really amazing
This EP is amazing !!❤️ I think it includes many styles. I got that Avril Lavigne vibe in “Sink again, Rise again, and the J-pop style in others. Overall, I think it’s an EP merging different styles and techniques. You really did an amazing job as a singer💜💜💜(also a Vgamer😆)
It is amazing~ Hope to listen more IRyS's songs. But please no pressure on it.
I’m really glad to meet IRyS and her perfect voice in my life. And my favourite song in Journey EP is Flower in Hope. It made me feel powerful and stronger when I listened it. Thank you IRyS.
HIRyS~Thank you for giving us the great EP. Hope you can make more good music.
My vocal not enough to show me how I love this EP. Thank you Hope our Queen IRyS~I love this EP!
I am so surprised of the EP that actually has a story when IRyS explained it and the story is really interesting looking at how Hope fell to despair and gain back Hope but stronger. Personally I really like the song "Nameless Sadness", which the title itself cannot describe the kind of sadness when you find out the truth is not what you see, and start to have doubt to what you believe. The lyrics is strong enough but IRyS singing bringing it out even stronger feeling, it makes me goosebumps whenever I listen to this song.
This is the first EP I bought in my life. It's really heartbreaking to see IRyS works hard and even a throat injury. I hope to try my best to let the little princess know that IRyStocrats support her very much and look forward to her growth in the future.
I really like the order of the songs throughout the album. When listening in order, each song seems to tell the journey of IRyS, and is also very much like the opening song and ending song of an anime.
The Journey EP is my favorite of the EPs I have seen so far and I think it is fantastic.
Every song is my taste. I really enjoy it!
Genuinely loved it, and I am super glad I was able to get the vinyl.
I totally loved the Journey EP, the music, IRyS voice has this special tonality that i love. It is a whole experience from start to finish. As a musician i really appreciate every single track.
I've been a big fan of Journey since it first released. IRyS's vocals are so good and some of the songs are really catchy. I've found myself singing the chorus to "Joy with you" to myself several times at work.
Hi, IRyS. When I first listened to the album “Journey”, my first thought was - perfect. I have to say that this is the first time in my life that I bought a record to support a singer because I was moved. I hope you can create more works, but please don't be under pressure. Health is the most important thing, whether it is mental or physical.
Actually is one of the best albums that I ever heard, I love the differences between each song and the story that is told.
Journey has some of IRyS's best songs yet! And I really love that it was a concept album as that is incredibly rare, if not unique in hololive!
I love how it basically tells a story of IRyS and hey journey to understanding the people of this world.Baby Yoisho
It's such a great EP! It showcases IRyS's ability as an artist, and how versatile she is. I love the theme of losing hope, and finding it again. Many people can relate to the theme of the entire album.
I love listening to the EP because beside from the fact the songs are well made, they also give such feelings while I'm listening to them which makes me vibe into it.
It is packed with emotions from IRyS as she descends to our realm and experiences the World, full of majestic wonders and angelic splendors but also filled with evil maliciousness and deep darkness from the human soul. But even when she is filled with sadness, despair and anger at this world, she also sees the small little light of Hope that lingers on. Sheltering that little spark of Hope, weathering the storm of human emotions to finally emerge on the other side triumphantly, understanding that despite all our flaws and scars, we all have the potential to bring Hope to the world with our words and actions, those buds hiding deep within, ready to flower forth in its beauty and splendor as we show kindness and love to everyone.
The Journey has begun, Nephamily will always beside you.
Congrats on first physical EP
releasing! It is the most impressive EP I have ever seen in my life. Not only the art is perfect, but also the order of these songs is well designed by heart. With outstanding and emotional singing. I feel I am actually going on a Journey with IRyS. Thank you so much for your hard work. Looking forward to more amazing songs coming out in the future!
IRyS this Journey EP of yours is amazing and I thank you so much for bringing us this.
I’m from Hong Kong ♥️
IRyS~Thank you for bringing hope to all the fans, let's get through all the difficulties and I will always support you.
About "Nameless Sadness", I like the feeling of this slightly angry roar, and the arrangement of the spoken parts highlights this feeling even more. The melody is paired with IRyS's voice, making people immersed in it.
IRyS singing skill is perfect!
Every time I watch your stream is my happiest time, when I heard your voice as if the whole day's stress disappeared. These songs are applied with high skills, sasuga my oshi. This is my first IRyS merch, I will cherish it and look forward to more and more merch from you!
Only in hope lies salvation, do you hear IRyS calling?
Redeem me when i'm done listening.
I knew u hurt your vocal cords while recording journey, I can tell that u really put all your heart into this EP. U did a really great job in it, tried to perform every line flawlessly. IRyS never let all IRyStrocats down, all songs in journey are all bangers. The whole EP exactly is the journey of a nephilim, who was so confident to spend hope to other find out that the reality is full of despair people lose faith in things easily, so she started to questioning herself and struggled if she should continue spend hope or juz give up, at the end nephilim choose to continue bring hope to other. Although there may be a host of barriers and difficulties, hope is a really important element in everyone's life, so never losing hope to anything. IRyS will always be here as long as we have hope in our heart. U are my push forever, looking forward to your future plans. IRyStrocats will always be with you! Stay happy stay healthy, I wish u all the best.
Thank you for such a masterpiece, the texture of everything is superb. By the way the key ring is really beautiful, it’s now hanging on my desk lamp and shines every day. Looking forward to the birthday set. Here's wishing you a happy first anniversary, I may not be able to come( but I won’t forget to buy the Merch), because I'm going to prepare for my graduated school test. Love you forever.
I'm HOPEFUL to receive the Journey EP, waiting for 5 months becomes worthy eventually. Thanks to my push for working hard on these masterpieces. I'm also looking forward to the upcoming new songs, gonna stream them all!
Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful Journey. Looking forward to more songs of IRyS! I'm proud of being an IRyStocrat.
I loved Journey as a whole, from the music, lyrics, vocals, instrumentals, and the story in potrays. It shows how IRyS as "hope" sees the world and explores it from the surface to the core, and even after seeing all the bad things, she still accepts it and is willing to save it. Also all the songs are straight up BANGERS!
The album is very good, this is my first time buying hololive products.
Always loved IRyS voice, the "Journey" album came out and listened to it repeatedly for weeks!! The lyrics of several of them are similar to my life, IRyS voice matched the song perfectly with these lyrics! Thank you so much for IRyS, looking forward to more creations in the future, and hope IRyS can see it.
This EP is encouraging. I always hear it while working, making me feel I could overcome any trouble coming to me.
I really like all the songs in the Journey EP, all the songs are really well made. Thank you so much IRyS for working so hard and bringing such great work to all IRyStocrats! I'll keep all these merch as my precious collection.
This song really hits me! I tried to pick my favourite one from this EP but I just can't do it! I believe a lot of fans just like me realized this EP basically is a story about IRyS! There's no specific one since all of them are awesome😎Looking forward to more amazing songs from our HOPE IRyS!
Your voice is really amazing! I love it. And your song brings lots of hope to me.
Every song is very good. especially Nameless Sadness, Sink again, Rise again and Flower of hope these 3 song really hit me. I really love journey in this EP more story of IRyS.
The whole EP is amazing, I love all of the songs! It truly brings you on a journey, each song tells a story and expresses different emotions which I can clearly feel it through IRyS's beautiful singing. Thank you for your hard work IRyS, cant wait to hear more of your future works!
I like the order of the songs on this EP, listening to the whole album feel like going on a journey with IRyS.
Every time I feel stressed the beautiful song bring me joy. Thank you for being my hope during the tough times.
Every songs in Journey EP are awesome especially with your beautiful voice! I can feel lots of emotions and always be touched when I listening. "Journey" is my first physical album ever, I love it a lot! Thanks for this masterpiece. We IRyStocrats will be with you and support you forever, IRyS!
My fav part is that listening to it is like watching an anime. From a powerful OP, some cool fights in the middle, and end with a silence, beautiful ED. I can feel I'm a part of this JOURNEY. Anyway I like it so much. It gives me infinite energy every time I loop it!
My English is poor but it's a very great EP. I like the songs and song's story. Can feel The HOPE is coming and I also get many energy from the songs.
That is my first CD, it’s very nice, I want to get another CD for IRyS.
This is my new jam! Thank you for your songs to accompany me through every day.
I'm grateful my journey have you UwU.
When I start playing the EP “Journey”, what I feel first is energy and passion, then it turns to the fragile and melancholy. Then the light and full hope voice brings me to life. All the tracks on this EP are perfect! I can easily see the sight and story when hearing them and feel what IRyS experienced in the Journey. Among them, my favorite song is “Nameless Sadness”. I have never had music do what “Nameless Sadness” did to me. This literally brought me to tears. It is mind blowing and makes me speechless.... A song alone has never made me bawl my eyes out like a child just out of pure beauty and power alone. No matter how many times I hear it. The goosebumps, the heart in throat sensation then the tears start pouring...It's impossible to dislike such a masterpiece. I can't even explain this in words. Ugh. I just love “Nameless Sadness”.
I’m really really enjoy ur voice and tune!
It is a really nice EP!! Your sound is really and also strong with feelings~ hope in the future will hear more nice songs!
When the EP came out while I was in some kinda life rough time. Because of this EP, I got the power and hope to face the challenge. Thank you IRyS for such fantastic works. I guess this EP saves my life at that moment and makes me can keep positive!! Take care and thank you again.
I love it, every song is a banger!
IRyS's journey EP makes me feel more relaxed and hopeful 😀😀😀.
All of them are the best song ever!
I absolutely love it. I remember the day it was revealed and how I couldn't wait for the release date. I learned about IRyS at around her fifth month past debut, so I was a bit late to the Caesura of Despair hypetrain; with that being said, knowing that Journey was an amazing continuation of IRyS' discography makes me so excited for what's to come next. Love everything you do, IRyS, and thank you IRyStocrats for being so driven to show our gratitude for what IRyS has done for the hololive community.
There's definitely a song for almost every mood and situation, always helps to lift my mood in a pinch!
The more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it. Thank you for descending on us! 🥖(*≧ω≦)🥖

As an overseas fan, I appreciate that almost all of the songs are English in the EP. This EP has a lot of music styles so I really enjoy listening to it. There’s no doubt that vocals are GREAT!!!
Most of songs in this EP is pretty much FIRE I can’t listen to this EP sitting still tho lol unless it’s flower of hope, it’s like a peaceful day after going all out for the party.🤣
Aloha! I've been listening to the EP everyday at work and its helped inspire me in my own ukulele music. Loved the Journey EP and looking forward to many more releases!
I absolutely love the EP, all of the songs are so good I really can't pick just one as a favorite. I can't go a day without listening to at least one of these songs! I love IRyS's music so much! Stream Journey! You won't regret it!
So happy to get the EP, it's awesome!
Ahhh, I love Journey. It is amazing! These songs touch my heart.
Journey is definitely an amazing EP with IRyS showing her capability to sing songs of various genres and styles well. Love Nameless Sadness the most in the EP, IRyS really expresses the emotions from the song with her beautiful singing, which makes it still one of my top 5 IRyS originals after months. The rest songs from the EP are well made and would always stay in my playlist. Thank you IRyS for all the hard work and keep creating high quality works!
Happy AnniversaRyS.🥳🥳🥳I like how you being PonRyS and YabaiRyS. Your demon side is so cute for me. But every time when I listen to your songs. I will be like "OMG IRyS really is an angel😇🙏”. I really like how you express the emotions in “Journey”. Especially "flower of the hope”. Sometimes I may want to cry when I listen to it.🤣 I can't wait to see you on the stage!! I wish everything around you will get better and better!! I will always keep HOPE in my mind.😆
HIRys. Your songs are really really awesome. In this EP, my favorite song is "Joy with you".This song is full of power, full of hope. Just like you. Others in "Journey" , and "Quarter Bravery" or all the original songs also worth savoring. We love you. Thanks for your descending. All the IRyStocrats will be with you till HOPE spreads all over the world.
HIRyS~2nd EP 「Journey」 リリースおめでとうございます！！！レコードVer.買いました～ 初めて実物を見たとき、「うわぁ、きれい！Yabeeeee ! ! 」と思いました。このアルバムの中で一番好きな曲は「Only in Hope」です。アイリスちゃんのポジティブな気持ちと優しい思いを感じます。そして清楚?な歌声と相まって、本当に私を希望に満ち溢れています。そのおかげで毎日頑張ることができました。私の英語は下手ですから(台湾人です)、配信の内容が時々わからないです。それでも毎回の配信が楽しみで仕方がありません！これからもずっと応援しています。体調には気をつけてくださいね~
I love this EP, but my personal favorite song is “Joy With You”. Because I like it when IRyS sings upbeat songs. Only In Hope is a close second.
I like the atmosphere created by this ED "Journey" very much, and the track is also like what IRyS said in the live broadcast before, Giving people a very "epic" feeling. I like to listen to any songs sung by IRyS very much. During my homework or any leisure time, I will open the exclusive IRyS playlist and listen to IRyS songs. I like this ED very much. I placed an order immediately. Through this ED, I felt IRyS' understanding and control over sound. I was amazed. I like IRyS very much and will continue to like it later. I will continue to support you. ❤❤❤
Because of your heavenly voice, your efforts, and your hard work, we can enjoy this wonderful EP. All the songs in this EP are great, but I choose "Joy with You" as my favorite because of the feeling of it like an adventure anime op song and I really like the lyric "I feel I wanna join with you, join with you and share more joy with you". Take your time! There are many things waiting for you to see and feel on your "Journey"! Enjoy it!
Sink again, Rise again is my favorite song in the Journey EP. I can really feel the emotions in this song. I really love it.
The Journey EP really surprised me the first time I heard it. Each song has a different feeling and tells the story of IRyS. After descending she feels confident and hopeful about herself and humanity; Thinking the world is a pure place. She then struggles and becomes confused when finding out that humans can be evil and cruel. IRyS matures a bit and regains confidence. She accepts both sides of humanity and wishes for a hopeful future with them. I love the concept of this EP! IRyS goes through some character development and her beautiful singing expresses her thoughts and feelings so well! All six songs are bangers! I like Flower of Hope the most because of it's message and how soft IRyS's voice sounds.
I love this EP since it showcases how IRyS has an amazing voice that fits numerous musical styles, from heavy and upbeat Rock to slower and more emotional ballads. All 6 songs on the Journey are great, but my favorite is for sure Joy With You because it has a really good guitar melody and a heavy Rock sound that I enjoy, but also a catchy vocal melody in the chorus with positive lyrics about spreading joy and happiness with others and looking forward to the future. It is a great song that I keep finding myself coming back to listen to repeatedly, as well as Only In Hope which is also a catchy and upbeat Rock song, and Flower of Hope which is an incredibly beautiful and emotional ballad with powerful vocals that is a great way to close the EP. I also really like the concept of Journey as a storyline of IRyS arriving to bring hope to the people, but in the process discovering the dark side of humanity and its cruelty and being unsure of what to do or if humanity is worth the effort to save, but ultimately deciding that it is worth it and finds the beauty in humanity despite the darkness. Overall, this is a great EP that I absolutely love and was extremely happy to get my physical copy for, and I hope to do the same with future releases from IRyS!
I really like the way that you convey the emotion in every song, especially in Nameless Sadness, it definitely is my favorite one in this EP. From Only In Hope to Flower of Hope, when you listen to these songs, it feels like you're watching the entire movie called
.
The songs are really nice and the melody and vocal mashed so well together that I can play them in loop and never get tired listening to them. さすがVsinger.🥰💎
Love you IRyS! You are always the HOPE in our heart! I just love how much energy been poured into this Journey EP. Specially in Nameless Sadness really gives the frustration and powerless vibe. Then Flower of Hope gives us the hope energy we all need. Journey really builds a world itself with abundant of emotions from you IRyS yet there will always be HOPE in the end of the Journey!
After her incredible first EP I was hyped to see what was next, cuz I was sure that it will be amazing, and I wasn’t wrong. Not only for the LORE, but every song has a very emotional significance about IRyS and what she want to show us with her beautiful voice. I’m happy for everything she has done, I will supporting and cheering for her.
The thing I love most about this EP is how IRyS sings each and every song, conveying the emotion of the lyrics and tunes so well❤️ And the lyrics of every song, especially Nameless Sadness, is really deep and meaningful and just resonates with me and how I feel about the world and the different things. It is an EP where I won't ever feel like skipping any of the tracks and no amount of looping will make me sick of the songs! I love Journey and I am grateful and proud of IRyS for, once again, producing such wonderful work and music. A real gift to IRyStocrats and everyone listing to the album💎❤️
IRyS did a fabulous job in her 2nd EP, Journey! I enjoy listening IRyS's singing because of the confidence she shows in all songs! Wish IRyS to be healthy and strong so she can sing different songs in the future!
The name Journey fits so well, because that is really it: a Journey of Feelings, a Journey of Music, a Journey of Hope! Some songs sound like anime opening themes! It's so beautiful! I love to loop the EP at work. IRyS is the best!
HIRyS! It’s Huai! This is my first time buying an album. First of all, my favorite song in the album is definitely “Nameless Sadness”, the emotion it convey is very sorrowful but epic. Your powerful voice in this song really makes it even better! Whether it is the mix or the design of the song are awesome. Btw do we have the chance to hear you sing songs from《Journey》in streams xD?
In this EP, I followed IRyS’s journey when she travel through the world. Although she saw the cruelty and dark side of this world, she still decided to accept and give hope to it. This made me believe that even I were suffering my life, hope will definitely come to me as long as I sustain. The expression of emotions in every song are really nice, going with the musics very perfectly. Overall, I really like this EP. Thank you IRyS for making the amazing EP! Looking forward to your future work, I’m prepared to be amazed!
It's so amazing that I can't find any word to describe my feeling!!! Thank you IRyS for bringing us such a wonderful EP with all songs that are really AWESOME!
I think Journey was the perfect EP to discover IRyS' true nature as a nephilim. We follow her through her journey of discovery of humanity, her wonder at first contact, her sadness after discovering our dark side, but also the hope and beauty that lies within human life.
In the beginning, "Nameless sadness" was my favorite in this EP. Maybe it's because I'm a pessimistic person. This kind of music is always touching my heart. However, "Joy with you" gradually took over the first place as time went by. The lyrics, "I feel I wanna join with you...share more joy with you...", keep repeating in my mind. Yes, I wanna share more joy with you, IRyS. I can't stop thinking about this. You light up hope in my life. Let me know no matter how cruel the world is, I can still find joy somewhere, especially with you. So, let's explore more joy and share together in our long future journey. ヾ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵)ノ ̑̑💎💕
I really like these songs, the light melody, soft melody, will make people want to keep listening again and again.
I'm still amazed by the amount of songs contented in this EP. There are 6 in it ! That's enough amount to be called as a full album to me. While the first EP has 3, it literally double in this one. Wow, just wow. And that's not it. As the title says "Journey" this is an story about how IRyS's character build-up and her emotion changes after debut, and I definitely can sense it through these songs after listen to it by order. When "Only in Hope" is the Intro, it definitely gave me the punch, kind of like an injection of adrenaline. And yes THIS IS THE HOPE we need ! While "Joy with Me" maybe the most touched to me in all of the songs. It really share the joy. It almost seems like I can feel the joy that IRyS's passion about streaming and appreciation of the interact with her community. "Nameless Sadness" is a sad song, I appreciated that IRyS is putting huge amount of emotion into it and it really touches me. "Bare your teeth" to me is kind of sings out the struggle of life. When in life, sometimes things just happened, and we can't do shitake about it. This songs perfectly catches it, also I'm super in love with the chorus, it's so catchy to me ! This album amazed me so much that once I heard it streaming on the site, I decided to brought it with no hesitate. To appreciated all the hard work IRyS put in, this is at least I can do.
It let me feel amazing and unbelievable, I was crazy for a singer. Every song in the EP made me have unforgettable experience. Especially "Nameless sadness", I always feel more emotional when I listened the song. I can't wait to listen the new one. Wish you everything will be more better and wonderful.
Journey Congratulations on the release! My favorite song is Nameless Sadness, even though it is a sad song. I can feel the feeling of helplessness in the song, and it is the song that touches me the most. I hope your song will touch more people's hearts, just like your coming in the first place. Also I wish you all the best for the future.
