If a foreign company employs a Japanese person, you must
register your company in Japan.
The rules are a bit more complex than that. If you establish an office or have executives working from Japan then that tends to trigger the "permanent establishment" rules. Just having regular employees or contractors there doesn't; agencies with vtubers working from home would probably be fine.
If they just tell him "hey our project fell through so you can publish it yourself" then they're sacrificing that opportunity and have effectively paid for nothing.
Rights for a track you never use are worth nothing, so having a "copyright reverts to the artist if not published within x years" term in the contract is fairly normal - it gets goodwill from the artist and costs the client nothing. But still, it's on the artist to actually check their contract.
Weeeelllll...they either have it already recorded or do it actually live.
Recording it only a few days before doesn't really work.
Recording a few days before can be a smart move sometimes. It would let them include references to recent streams/moments that have become memes, while still being able to do retakes when stuff goes wrong.
If your oshi could get into a game, what would you want it to be? If Ina got into FGO , well I guess I would finally actually play it.
GGN twins fans win this one, or rather lose.
Don't start your car on Sunday.
What else, the rrat that 'council didn't do as well as Cover expected'? Does anybody know what exactly Cover expected from council anyway? I certainly never expected them to hit Myth levels of saturation because that was a one off thing that will not happen ever again, even for Myth. Council got mogged by the gay boys of Niji for about a year and some change, but then even Vox settled around councils numbers eventually. I never bought that Council was a failure by any objective standard. Of course there's Sana but that just seemed to be her both getting unlucky and also I'm not sure how much she really cared about the vtuber thing anyway.
There was plenty of doom at the time and it was justified IMO. They went overboard on the lore and turned the audience off, the second generation felt like a weak sequel, they had no idea what to do with IRyS. They turned the ship around but it could easily have played out very differently.
I still can't believe they listened to the Twitter crowd... And nerfed the size of Widowmaker and Tracer's ass... But somehow a massively ripped topless Maoi rip-off is fine for women coomers.
You've gotta understand, these are women. They don't use logic or principles.
Do you have any decent reason to believe that Hololive becoming an even larger corporation would make them less of a target for teams of lawyers?
If they do it right they can isolate the risky parts in a jurisdiction that's friendlier to them. Multinational corporations do things that are illegal in some of the countries they operate in absolutely routinely. Yes being bigger makes you more of a target, but it also gives you new ways to defend yourself.
On the other hand I don't think there's much chance they'd be setting up shop in, say, Bakersfield - it's gonna be somewhere in greater LA or SF most likely.
Greater LA yes, but whether it's worth paying the premium for downtown is another question. If this is about just having a legal presence, an office park in Anaheim or something will be cheaper (probably somewhere on the metro because they're Japanese so they think in terms of working trains). If this is about shipping management, Long Beach where the actual port is makes sense. If they do pay up for a downtown office, it'll be because they want to meet and impress potential partners in the entertainment industry.
and Filian out of nowhere, I had no idea she was this popular
This really shouldn't be a surprise. She does normie content and a lot of it. If you're paying any amount of attention you know she's huge.
How is this woman still single? With her looks and her personality she must get marriage proposals on a weekly basis.
She prefers working herself to death. (Or the whole thing is a larp and she's actually happily married).
