edit: The poaching has leveled out. Two from Holo and now two from Niji... now we'll wait and see what Sayu and Unamed do lmao.

Technically Nazuna doesnt count. She wasnt poached, she got thrown out like hot garbage. Vshojo decided to give the trashbag a 2nd chance. So far it doesnt seem to be going too terribly.

It is a very conflicting feeling for me.

In a way, i'm happy she is back but it is FUCKING VSHOJO and Twitch is garbage.

Click to expand...

Back when she graduated im pretty sure I mentioned that I thought she would go for Vshojo. Hate Twitch though but she was originally a Twitch streamer so Its not that different. I wonder if they have a deal with Twitch to stream exclusively there (given that Gunrun was part of Twitch staff)

Looks like Shiina deleted the tweet, but here's an archive I grabbed.

She made a followup tweet about why she deleted the other tweet

I wonder if her coming to PR was in part due to the whole medical thing. Health Insurance is stupidly cheap and even if you don't have health insurance the cost for any medical procedure is 10 times cheaper than anywhere in the US.

- Name is a mix of the names of two other agencies, one of which already failed
- Entire internet existence consists of a Twitter account and a Google form but they're recruiting already anyway
- CEO's identity is being kept secret for some reason

The clock is ticking.

For some reason, I feel like we will be getting Miao back.

I dont think any of the ex corpo vtubers in vshojo (excepted for henya) will ever have the same success they had in their previous corpo. Nazuna and kson are shells of their vtuber persona from hololive. And no male vtubers will ever have as much success as luxiem had in the EN scene.

Click to expand...

Even if they have a fraction of their viewership, they dont have to deal with shit like game perms, and im willing to bet the merch and earnings cut is way higher. So maybe they are a bit worse off economically but they do seem to have a bit more "talent freedom".

Let me hone in on this bit for a sec.

You don't need actual experiance in an industry to call yourself a professional yes actual professional will laugh at you but when it's for marketing no one actually cares

What this actually translates to someone who spent maybe a few years learning a skill vaguely tangibly applicable to vtubing my bet is on a streamer who retired or a person whos job related to public speaking or perhaps a public facing job that requires presenting a persona.

That is of course if they are not entirly lying out their ass because this is a pretty generic claim that cannot be really proven or disproven.

Auditions happen way earlier then you would think and theres usually a few months to a year of waiting before first stream the characters not being finished could be anything from waiting for potential talents to give input on the final designs to the company focusing on other aspects first not a bad thing if your going to be a mostly PNG tuber company till you get your foot in the door. it all depends on the approach really.

Click to expand...

I know how much time lead there is on applications to debut, even in small companies, but the info they give out on their posts infer they have the intent to have 4 pre-determined models that applicants are going to apply for. I don't know how much input the applicants are going to get on any changes. They also have the claims that their assets will help you "stand out from the crowd", which I guess is technically true if they launch a gen with unfinished non-rigged pngs. It also makes it strange then that they'd be reaching out to find applicants for pre-determined designs but they don't even have all four designs finished and posted.

I think the text on the video you mentioned was written by AI or something. Not much sense to it. Aside from the other things I also find it cheap that they can't decide if they're "Cyber Idol" or "CyberIdol." Branding!

Also, I didn't mention this earlier since I'm not sure of the importance, but the Twitter profile art seems to have a watermark on it.

Looks like "S" and something else on the first line, then "mp" on the second line. "Sample?" I couldn't find any matches with TinEye or Google Images, but still, it's just another thing that makes the whole thing look fly-by-night.

Click to expand...

Yes, I saw that.

The art for the account pfp was said to be something created by the CEO in one of their other tweets, I think. Looks like a similar sort of style to the character sketches posted so far, so maybe the CEO is also their main artist. Definite question why it's watermarked in that case though.

@La+ de Central Norte Random question, I heard La+ mentioned that she has no plans on any new costumes because she is satisfied with her current one, is this true? (notice how she is the only one in HoloX that hasn't gotten any new costume since her kimono)

Its a reference to this tweet
And she reafirmed it multiple times in a lot of her streams
It can be a joke but we are almost at the end of the year and still nothing

I feel the train has passed already after 2020-2022 for new vtuber startups and maybe some small ones like EIEN might be able to chug on somehow but the trend is saturated I don't see why new corpos should for beyond leeching/black-companying

Sure, but @Zizara mentionned nina's numbers so i based it off of that. I dont doubt that they are happier in vshojo.

That definitely looks like a "Sample" watermark, the kind an artist would slap on when showing a work-in-progress to a commissioner who hasn't paid yet. Seems fishy.

A dispute with Devolver Digital?

He's good with NijiEN dudes. He knew Mysta was leaving, and asked him to join Astraline. Mysta went "nah bro, I'm tired of vtubing in general", and then showed up at Vshojo immediately after.

But would Merry have fixed Mysta's tax issues that Vshitshow sorted for him? Probably not...

I doubt it's to do with that but the fact remains, vshojo is committed to poaching. For all the complaints about Phase fans begging people to be poached, they are a small fry compared to one that is instantly monetising them the second they get their twitch account announced.

When Pikamee left, vshojo fans were instantly clinging onto comments begging that they'd join the clique. Same happened with others later on.
