Community Happenings

[Kourai]

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).

kyOresu, formerly Riro Ron of Idol Corp., has released a cover version of Internet Overdose, with new lyrics that appear to directly comment on the accusations made against her. She also intends to redebut as a vtuber soon. Thread here.

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
