Eilene, one of the first Vtubers and the creator of the Natsumi Moe persona (who separated from Eilene's group and much later reincarnated as Shiori Novella), has posted a suicide note on Twitter (post with archives).

Proctor Edit: For clarity, by 'creator', this means Eilene created Natsumi Moe, not that she WAS Natsumi.



She posted a Youtube video and is also still tweeting, including tweets she has deleted which were only captured by Discord bot (post), pictures of meds (post with archives) and a claim that she messaged Korekore the JP dramatuber (post with archives).

Edit 2024-02-10: FalseEyeD the EN dramatuber interviewed the man Eilene accused of scamming her in her suicide note (video).

This has been discussed in many places by now, but for posterity:

Akira Toriyama passed away on 1 March 2024 at the age of 68 due to acute subdural hematoma. This was made public today.

Kiki Lockheart of EIEN Project's first generation will graduate at the end of her contract period on 30 March 2024. This is the company's second separation, after the contentious termination of another first generation member, Riifu Evergreen, slightly less than a year ago. Seven talents are still active out of nine. (post) (archive of official announcement)

AkioAIR, a Taiwanese small corpo with EN streamers which became infamous in 2023 for hiring a minor and consequently imploding under talent walkouts and exposure of their mismanagement, has officially announced their closure.

Phase Wars 2 has just started. Should probably put the thread as a headline to divert liveposting about it towards it since it will be across 3 days.

This is the video coma chaama

Also, Rushia got fired and is Mikeneko/Nazuna and more, plus Mel got fired and is Rica. Sana graduated, don't talk to Namie about vtubers. Chaama was sick and came back and now Mio is sick, now we are at the present.

The present
Bomb update - Gamers are fine, MV is killer. Cover share holder q and a is out - https://contents.xj-storage.jp/xcon...4e5e/93f0/e4dc09cd88e7/20240527154734371s.pdf. Big news is that Cover are decelerating, less new talent and more exposure for existing to build IP value. Also, Stars and Advent 3Ds soon.

Also, Pippa has a sister that, hopefully, isn't a psychopath. Also, this 2view is super cute. Thanks

Cover back in China. Or at least Kobo on Bilibili.


Didn't watch it but looks like she will partake in a b2 concert later as well according to
Summary from our Chinese contact

Truly stunned at this decision especially as Kobo in the world tour concert.

Feel free to let Cover know what you think
