I was actually expecting Kiara to show up in those replies. Lol
That would explain why Ame is in Japan. Ame is going to be the (feat. Ame) member in EN for a while.

Nothing really interesting, bigger numbers and that's basically it.
Maybe this is what Yagoo will talk about at Standford
Japan’s Global Content Industries: Manga, Anime, Game, Music, and More
Join the Japan Program of the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) at Stanford University for a full-day, in-person conference on May 29, 2025, celebrating the global power and creative evolution of Japanese content — anime, manga, video games, music, VTubers, and more. Bringing...

AZKi, Haachama, and Watame got chosen to officially promote GeoGuessr.
The Blu-ray for AZKi's concert Voice Entropy will release on June 25th, with pre-order bonusses until the end of May 18th.
Risu gets asked if holoID will have a similar event to ENReco.
Gigi talks about how she almost didn't continue Gonathan's story at the last minute, and what her initial vision was for her story during ENReco Chapter 2.
AZKi said (Google TL):

I am kinda confused about this
Where did they meet?
I thought Ina returned from her half year in JP a while back, but maybe not?
So is Ame in Japan again? Probably to work in some project as an affiliate then?
This whole situation is rather strange: allegedly Ame flew to Japan to record number for Kiara's birthday. She returned for a month back home and now she is back to Japan. I am not sure what is going on - perhaps she is part of the big project, which will happen in summer? Or she is there for personal reasons?
Hrad-hard copium, but maybe she lays groundwork for her return in some capacity?
Ame is coming back now Gura is gone would be some funny shit.
Also probably not happening.
I know that she might not come back, But at a slim chance that she does I can see her being involve in some events like New Years or EN events but not on streaming duties.

Talks about HoloEarth marketplace launch, global market growth and better infrastructure
As a Star Wars nerd it warms my heart to hear Korone mention the "Forms" and Kit Fisto mastering the basics.
I wonder how much she knows of the old expanded universe.
The PowerPoint PDF is actually more interesting this time around as it's different from their typical quarterly earnings reports/releases and more of a primer of what Cover is and their business and revenue growth/paths are for prospective investors reading it who may not know what a fucking vtuber is (on top of their usual quarterly numbers)
It also provides a clear leadership structure for us non-Nips - outlining Yagoo and a bunch of other execs and what they're in charge of and what their CVs are prior to Cover:
I think the one name here to keep an eye out on is their Senior VP in charge of "Vtuber Production" - Shigeki Hayashi. @NeneLOVE posted an interview article on him recently where he outlines his department's work on projects/production with the talents:
One of the guys who got promoted earlier last month speaks about stuff, take with a grain of obvious corpo PR but it is interesting.
The Future of VTubers: Shigeaki Hayashi SVP on the Creative Production Department’s Pursuit of Innovation | COVERedge
Shigeaki Hayashi joined COVER Corporation in 2022 after serving as the head of console gaming and working as an art director at a social gaming company. He currently serves as the Head of the Creative Production Department and was appointed Senior Vice President in April 2025. Shigeaki Hayashi...coveredge.cover-corp.com
This guy is essentially the replacement for whoever it was oversaw many of the project cancellations from before, so you can blame him if your oshi gets her shit canned.
Also, and there's some pretty juicy tidbits in the appendix section, where they outline what their risks and counter-measures are:
Peep the first one "Dependence on video distribution platforms operated by other companies" where they outline their counter-measures as:
I know the pros/cons of Cover developing a streaming platform of their own has been discussed here in this forum in the past and but I think this is the first, concrete statement from an official source that they are actually seriously looking into it and that it is actually under development.
I'm still skimming through the doc but I'll add/update more if there are any other salient points.

Ina is in Japan. She was talking about ordering breakfast but didn't get to eat before the stream because she dozed off during her stream yesterday. She said she met with Ame a few days ago and they had okonomiyaki together so Ame is probably in Japan.
