Hey, turns out i was right and she have her own corpo already! And she still need to somehow expand eventually to make ends meet, be it more diverse/stealth merch or onboarding couple of fellow canuck friends (realistically - both). But with director fucking her over, now i fear she won't expand in time.
Are you for real?
She has to take sponsors like "Faaast Penguin", a shitty free to play game that can barely hold 400 players, just to keep the lights on.


Expansion costs money. You can't expand to make money short term. If she can't make the business work at this scale, "expansion" is not going to fix it.
I never said it gonna be streaming group. I meant getting few more streamers to sell merch in her store and maybe use her manager's services too for MV production, such things. She does employ multiple people already, she have problems with merch distributors, she deal with customs and manufacturers herself, i can see her start doing all shipping in-house too.
Problem is, she have too many orders to do it all by herself (or even outsource, she had a problem when distributor denied her because of too large quantity), thus she have to employ people, thus she must grow her operation just to stay in business.
Where the fuck does the money come from though? Chicken and egg, she needs to invest to make a return but she doesn't have any money to invest.

It's time, yet again, to ask that age old question:
How can one be "Bat" at videogames?

No shit, sherlock. It is chicken and egg indeed, but she's not yet at the stage where this analogy could be relevant. For now she's fumbling through establishing workflow (Grimmi does too, btw), so it's expected to be somewhat of a money sink for a few months. We'll see where it's going next year. To be fair, she might also start doing even more by herself so "Dokicorp" will stay an exagerration, but this is not a feeling i have for her. Grimmi with her sauce is like "i gonna do this small fun thing! fine, i'll do it myself...", Doki is much more ambitious and willing to delegate as much as possible.

Ever since the Niji carcass dried out it has been a pretty slow year in general, Holo has had their shit go down but none of its particularly juicy, some small corpos caught fire but that's an every day occurrence. Everything drama related kinda ends up being a nothingburger, like the froot shit which could've ended up torching vshojo but it just smoldered for a couple of days and then went out and people stopped giving a shit.

Hour 11 and she's at 85 songs. Voice still holding strong. I guess I'm in.
It looks like she sang past the 12 hour YouTube vod limit and it cut off after her 94th song. Noticed the vod was temporarily blocked next day and I assumed she might have muted or cut off some songs perhaps to resolve any copyright issues. Did you happen to catch the tail end of her stream?

Something I always found curious about corpo VTubing is the topic of Birthdays. I get that not having them on the exact same day that the roommate has theirs makes sense for a couple of reasons. The Roommate doesn't have to split their time between VTuber and IRL festivities, you can space them out a lot better so there are fewer overlaps, sometimes a specific date fits for lore reasons etc.
But for that reason I always thought the Company basically just picks one for you and you don't really have much say in it, for most Corpo VTubers the dates between their real Birthdays and VTuber birthdays are pretty far apart.

But today the Twitter algorithm decided to present me with Ruze's PL celebrating his birthday live on stream including a facecam. (Also, Jesus Christ, this motherfucker has got to be one of the prettiest male VTubers around)

That stream was yesterday. And today, not even two days later, he's celebrating his birthday as Ruze.


Do you think this is purely coincidence or do the talents get a say on when their birthday is supposed to be. Do you know any other corpo VTubers who's birthdays are this close together? I randomly searched a couple and all of them were at least a month apart.

Mikeneko IRL birthday: 18th of January
Rushia Birthday: 22th of January
And yeah she got to choose the date

Niji can barely go a month between fuckups, we just had the thing where their music producer was drugging v-tubers in the recording studio and got hundreds of songs and live concerts privated. Give it another week and there'll probably be a leaked sex tape of Vox and Riku, just you wait :pomuStare:
