    Idol Corp - Sniffing out the most golden and smoky controversies in the vtubing industry.

    How much were talents told about the company's finances? Was there ever any "we need x viewers by date y" type conversation about the future? Were they told that certain things were too expensive, or did management always act like there was plenty of money to throw around? Did any of this change...

    Could be they're trying to get their identity "leaked" in a way that's not traceable to them. It's generally in a chuuba's interest to have a known "roommate account" where fans can find them, especially if their agency isn't looking so great right now (e.g. idol), it gives them much more...

    In theory no but in practice mostly yes. The primary caregiver gets full custody (there was no such thing as split custody until like literally last month) and for a young child it's incredibly unlikely for that to not be the mother outside of like a genuine psychotic break or something.

    Huh? Wasn't it made by a dream team at the height of their powers, in the last days of the SNES when they knew the hardware back to front and could make it do things undreamed of? Crikey, half a million subscribers and she was only pulling 0.1 Stronnys? I knew the shorts subscribers didn't have...

    Yes and no. There's some slightly obscure vocabulary and a lot of it is about obscure grammar rules, so it depends if you're the kind of person who notices whether a sentence is slightly wrong or not. JLPT is purely listening and reading so it's pretty artificial as a measure of Japanese...

    Give her time. Her voice already has a mommyish tinge and it'll get more so as she gets older. And every woman turns to GFE eventually.

    Meh, if he didn't want other people making up their own canon for the second half of the series maybe he should have made the effort to actually write it some time in the 25+ years since he said he would.

    Disagree; they have consistent characters and their actions fit in with that. Like, Robb is your noble good guy type but is too rigid with it, so ends up destroying his people fighting a war he can't win; he doesn't back down only because he's in the right. Tyrion is bitter, resentful and...

    There's a spectrum from mostly good to mostly evil, which is exactly what shades of grey is. The Starks are mostly good but you've still got them breaking vows, undermining the defense of the realm, starting pointless wars and talking up lives as assassins. The Lannisters are mostly evil but...

    If it were me I'd do it like a record label/publisher - your model etc. are bought with an advance, you earn a lower cut until you've paid that back, but then the talent ultimately gets ownership. If it was a case like this of starting the company with the talents as well then I'd probably...

    In an underground group like Tone Jewel I'd think she probably ended up doing some gigs solo or at most as two. But still a bit different as you've got some staff support (even if idols quite often end up doing their own choreography etc., and by Keiki's account the Tone Jewel guy doesn't seem...

    Meh. She's made her choice and decided which she values more. We may think it was a poor choice, but it would be even worse if she'd burned down her corpo career and lost her discord paypigs too. If they're trying to bootstrap from fans of their IRL(ish) maids then they probably had to include...

    She had a lyrics credit. Not every performer will have them, and not everyone with a lyrics credit is going to be the performer themselves. It's part of the overall matrix but it's not enough to identify someone on its own.

    Idol Corp - Sniffing out the most golden and smoky controversies in the vtubing industry.

    Business bank accounts charge fees for everything, often if you do a monthly batch you only pay once or get a reduced rate. Also someone needs to be responsible for checking all the invoices and registering them to be paid, for some people it's easier to do that as a regular monthly task than...

    If you ask a legal question you'll get a legal answer. There are plenty of ways to get yourself blacklisted without breaking any laws or contracts, but that's a very different question.

    Maybe but it's not Microsoft she should be mad at, this is all CrowdStrike. Monthly is normal in much of the world - heck, in Japan regular employees get paid on the 25th of the following month, so you're basically always waiting for 2 months' salary. For a freelance, a month or more after your...

    If you listen to any of the Japanese holos that's how it's pronounced in Japanese. Given that other JP member names get transliterated rather than translated, I'd argue it's not wrong.
