Is Kawaii imploding really an industry-shaking event though?

I guess they are one of the last remnants of 2021 vtuber agencies that still exists.
LIke others said, mostly not. Just another crossed-out corpo from the early EN unity chart, showing Phase Connect has outlasted them all

He's been doing the same bit for months and people get pissed at it everytime, why wouldnt he?

Edit: getting pissed might not be the right words, i would say *react negatively* fits better.
If someone's only pretending to be retarded for the sake of negative reactions then they're still acting retarded.

No. The corporation has been a dead man walking ever since all of Gen 3 walked out. This absolutely gutted the organization and seriously damaged its reputation, and given how competitive vtubing has become, it was not strong enough to survive. Though the girls' reputation of having a crab bucket mentality scared off a lot of fellow vtubers, which could have helped bring new blood into the organization and definitely made things worse. I imagine we're going to get a lot of info in the coming days about how everything was exploding behind the scenes, like what happened in the aftermath of Tsundeia.

It's interesting to see that recent EN small corpo events(here i mean mostly pixellink ones, tho let's throw Pillow's ASMR-relay in there too) seem to be "small EN corpo unity except for Phase". Has it actually gotten too big to be considered a small corpo.

They lost their relevance a while ago. And its not like the first 2 gens collab a lot with other chuubas. But im confident they're walking out with their models and socials.
They died when all of Gen 3 left, it's part of why they all hate them so much cause even they realized that.

Here's the vstats list of top ten vtubring corpo branches outside of Japan.
1000011165-png.79716


Project Kawaii doesn't even make the top 10 branches outside of Japan, never mind if Japan was included. I feel sorry for the Kawaii girls if their corpo closes and wish them the best but major event this is not.
Pretty insane that NEOBAKA, a brazilian vtuber company, is in the top 10. They are just short of Holostars, and while Holostars don't amount to HoloEN, they're still pretty comfortable in feeding their talents. If NEOBAKA is earning in dollar in the same manner, their talents are earning as much as Holo mid-top talents, proportionally, if their contract is 50/50 (current BRL:USD is 5.50:1).

Pippa had a chest with her name on it like other vsmp members so I guess she was expected to join few times at least.

Yeahi agree. But im being extremely optimistic that maybe if people stopped giving it attention MAYBE he would stop.

Foreign agencies (Aka, Isegye, and Neo) are all pretty big because they have little to no competition in their markets, their big flaw is that breaking into any other market they don't have a virtual monopoly in is gonna be hellish.

Like you mentioned, Rie will pop into some of these (and Clara for some karaokes), but considering the money fishman had to spend to launch 10 Vtubers in 2-3 months (and the planning that goes into that), and the money spent on Offkai; they're definitely in the "Medium" category. I know Brave is buying up whatever they can get their hands on, but I wouldn't say any of their specific EN brands (V4M, globie, etc.) are big enough to be considered 'medium'; so Phase exists in a space (and a niche) all to themselves.
