On September 9, 2020, Gura posted her first tweet with the word "a". On September 13, her first live broadcast was delayed and her first words were "a" (Шаблон:IPAblink). Later, the broadcast was interrupted due to equipment problems, leaving tens of thousands of users typing "a" in the chat room, waiting for the broadcast to resume. "a" quickly became an internet meme. This, combined with the overall popular surge of VTubers (and virtual reality in general) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, likely contributed to Gura's fast success. Only forty days after her debut, she had reached one million subscribers, becoming the first Hololive VTuber to do so.
