Background

While suffering from COVID-19 in April 2020, she learned that hololive English had opened auditions, and decided to apply. On 23 April she posted an original character, which she used as a static avatar in her Twitch art streams. On April 30 she drew a new character design which would be used for her final model.

She created her YouTube channel on 1 May 2020, and throughout the first week of May she created her own Live2D model from scratch, teaching herself rigging in the process. She continued streaming on Twitch throughout May on a regular schedule in order to build up a portfolio of streaming work, and on 21 May 2020, she submitted her audition to holoEN. While her application was ultimately unsuccessful, she continued to stream on Twitch.

Nemu announced her first 1,000 Twitch followers on 13 July, celebrating with a 24-hour Minecraft stream. On 7 August she announced a 3D model for use in VRChat.
