I am going to do an end-of-year stream on the 30th of December. If anyone would like to make a nice thumbnail for it, DM me. I can pay in a free title, advertisement, or filthy lucre - I can actually do this now as PayPal has finally recognized my business account.
Felt like much longer ago, but it was one day shy of two months ago today we were only hours away from saying good-bye. I figured we'd probably see her again eventually, but I wasn't expecting it this soon. Definitely looking forward to it. Originally, I was supposed to be out of town this weekend, but some things came up, and that didn't happen, so I'm currently fighting off sleepiness to stay up for the debut.

Just getting finished watching Bae's 3D since I was away. Really good job by the Rat and congrats to her. I'm serious considering buying the T-shirt. That one feels like it needs to be stored away because while the meme will die, it'll never not be hilarious just remembering it.
I had a thought about the economics of where these performances are going. She had 12 songs with dancing. Each song has a different cost to do a cover associated with it. It's normally not very expensive to do a live performance cover of most songs, but let's assume it's 500USD each. Before absolutely anything has been prepared, that's 6k USD. There's dancers to multiple songs, I believe 8 or 9 had technical choreography, with all of the ones with backup dancers needing paid-for choreo + dancer time. (I'm assuming Bae designed the choreo for her solo ones.) So that's at least another 1k USD for each song that needed it + dancers. The 3D stage had to be specially made with variable lighting and that rendered rose. I don't know the associated costs around the music production itself, and while it's not super expensive it's still something for each one. In total, that's anywhere from 2K to 5k USD per song and there were 12 of them. Let's say that's 3k avg, for 36k USD before any of the capture & post-production.
In total, I'd assume the outlay before considering the in-built costs by Cover itself was around 65k USD as a starting point. Depending on how much was contracted outside of Cover and the time frames, this one 3D Live could easily have a base cost of 80k USD. If you add in the Cover Staff time, I could easily see the "price" for this being 150k USD.
I'm sure the Rat would appreciate you watching the Stream & Buying the merch, because, at the end of it all, the Merch is exactly how these are viable. Which has been true for Bands for decades. (The Internet, the place where the only way you make money is either being an Infrastructure company or you sell T-Shirts.)
Suisei Lives probably have a starting cost of 150k USD. And Miko's huge production probably had a starting point cost of 250k, which is why it had a paid-for stream approach. The ticket price costs probably barely covered the venue space costs.
The four new RK Music members are debuting. Cona is currently live.

She accidentally ended the stream, here's the new one.
Their main Rival's EN divison and where most of the fan vitriol is coming from is still in freefall, with 6 talents dropping from the corpo, one explosively so

Either I for some reason ignored this when I read her About page or she added the disclaimer in the past months. I also haven't watched much because of schedule constraints but I'm at this timezone now.
Thanks for pulling up.

Just found out about this. It sounds like chatroulette or omegle but geared specifically towards vtubers. Not sure if it was known or not, but here's a look if you're interested.
I signed up for this months ago for lazy stream content but never got around to trying it. I will say to other chuubas here to be careful if you're on Twitch since their rules explicitly forbid sites like ChatRoulette, and while there's probably a far smaller chance of encountering a sudden penis on this site than that one, given Twitch's hostility to vtubers recently, I wouldn't risk flouting that rule.

I think she's going corpo. I assumed Nijisanji, but only based on her cover of a Niji song, so could be another corpo as well. I'm pretty sure quite a few small corpos are getting ready for new debuts right now.
That makes sense, though it doesn't look like she streamed that much on YT. She didn't quite find the traction she was looking for. That said, going corporate makes sense. She was also far more broken up on graduating the character than you'd kind of expect. So, maybe it's just life going another direction.
