I wanted to ask about Amelia Watson and her departure from hololive where she still has a role in the company. Is this setting a trend for future departures from hololive?

First of all, I want to be very clear in terms of what the business called VTuber is. Basically, the business for VTuber is where the talent and the company work together to create the IP.
In other words, it takes a couple of years for the company and the talent to collaborate or to create these contents as well as experience this until they receive these until it becomes very popular.
And I believe it is a good thing for all the talents as well as the fans and the company to keep the IP they’ve been able to create.
We also provide and sell card games, but as long as we have the IP, we can also deploy the IP on those card games.
What we believe would be good is to be able to keep these character IPs that we’ve been able to develop with the talent and that have received great support from the fans.

I did have a question about hololive English; hololive Advent and Justice have a very connected story.
Was this decision made in mind considering possible media projects?

This is a very difficult question because I wasn’t involved in this, but what I can say is that we always try to have some kind of a backstory so that we can deploy this into various areas, not just the character, but also its kind of atmosphere.
