Oh hey a new EN corpo that won't fold anytime soon since they have a JP and ID branch already
is this a new age of stability for small corpos as more and more "established" ones enter the EN scene rather than completely new projects? Will there finally be stability?
The last vestige of the last generation of small corpos Eien just folded too, only Vreverie is left from that era (and Phase)

Brave and all their acquisition counts, these small companies won't fold until the entire corporation fold.

Noone give a shit about anilive and iriam as a platform so nexas and bondlive doesn't really matter.

And who knows, they probably gonna be way better than NijiEN in terms of support and whatever.

I have some hopes for them, judging by how the ID vtubers under their wing are doing.

I am pretty sure the Gamebu thing happened before Kizuna Ai splitting.

But I wasnt around in 2019, so if some old lore master could tell what exactly Brave Groups PL did back then would be nice, because I think I never actually read the full story, just snippets of it
Back then PLs didn't have to deactivate everything, so the VAs were just venting on their personal twitters (which were basically "aspiring VA"/"aspiring actor" types) over a couple of months.
Then 5ch basically put it together. Autists who were archiving shit etc.
A few of Yumesaki Kaede's VA's tweet is still up lmao.
It broke containment and blew up JP twitter, since they had several collabs with what we'd call "fleshtubers" today.
By that time their PLs were already saying stuff like they initiated labor disputes over missed wages.

Oda Nobuhime/Polka actually tweeted a defense of GameBu, some dumbass shit like "People who just blame management are retards. This is a problem with content creator culture". She deleted that, but her followup tweet is still up.
edit: there's a rrat that she wasn't the one who tweeted it because she was live during the tweet. Reasonable suspicion since she was part of the upd8/Activ8 blackcorpo.

Oh, then the CEO of another company that had a stake in Unlimited did a "we're investigating" tweet to lowkey confirm that shit was going down.

A visa in Japan is almost always legally under the individual's control/responsibility (and this is generally a good thing, as it prevents companies using the visa to control their employees). The company can pay a lawyer to do your application but it's still the individual's application and the individual's responsibility legally, if they e.g. submit false info about what kind of work they're going to be doing then it's the individual who'll be held responsible.

Honestly I'm struggling to think what the company could have done to screw the application up - if they e.g. failed to remind her to renew her visa before it expired then that's still her responsibility legally and (IMO) morally, if they failed to supply required documents then correct procedure is to submit the application without them with an explanatory letter saying the company was fucking around (and then in theory the MOJ should bollock them, although in practice who cares about screwing over foreigners). Obviously if the company told her they'd take care of it and didn't then that's kind of morally their responsibility, but in a way they were lying from the first if that's what they said - a company can help you with your visa application but they can't ever take full responsibility for it, it's going to be in your name and if you don't take the time to understand the relevant laws and your responsibilities then you're putting yourself at risk.
tldr: You need the company to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility before you apply for a "work visa".

1. "Work visa" here isn't a visa , i.e. the document you need to enter the country. This is free and easy for anyone from an... ally country of japan.

2. "Work visa" refers to 在留 zairyu card, or "Status of Residence", where there's like 20+ categories. A "work permit" would be an accurate analogy.
It's pretty important - if you don't look Asian you need to carry this with you everywhere because bored cops will want to check it.
You apply for this yourself, a few weeks for renewal. It's not a big deal BUT you have to apply for renewal before expiration.
After expiration, you get like 2 extra months as long as you applied.

3. You need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to apply for zairyu renewal.
This is on the company and takes 2-5+ months. When people say "sponsor a visa" this is what they're talking about.
Immigration basically inspects whether the company and the work category applied for matches up, job responsibilities, payment stubs etc.
Eg. "Entertainer", "Artist", "Skilled professional", "Academic" etc. This is very messy for Cover.
Again, to be extremely clear, the Application for Certificate of Eligibility must be presented to Immigration by an employee of the company.

Best case scenario, COE application is pending.
Shitty case - COE was rejected and they need to reapply.
Worst case - COE was given, she applied for zairyu, this gets rejected and now she needs to wait 6 months. :painpeko:

Seeing how small corpos are these days, give it a few months and there will be a thread about them in The Laundry Room.
Nah AKA VIRTUAL is doing ok in ID( they are only second to Holo ID) so they at least have some reputation
The only way i can see them running this expansion to the ground is them contracting literal retards for both the vtubers and their staff

I'd be lying if I didn't say I actually thought her model would be an actual non-antromorphic desert mouse. Just because that's exactly the kind of weird shit she can pull off and still harvest subs.

Ina, at least, seems to be under the impression that whatever happened was entirely caused by someone else not doing their job.
Well I don't know exactly what happened, but a lot of companies try to give the impression that they have more control over your visa than they actually do (for good reasons and bad). Listening to your timestamps it could be that the lawyer working on her behalf (presumably provided by Cover) screwed up, or even someone on the government side, but... meh. Still struggling to imagine a scenario that's compatible with her being right tbh.
3. You need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to apply for zairyu renewal.
Nope. CoE is only for your initial entry visa (it's issued for use by a Japanese embassy overseas), not for renewal.
the Application for Certificate of Eligibility must be presented to Immigration by an employee of the company.
Maybe for a CoE but certainly not for a renewal. Officially speaking the application is made by the individual who wants the visa or a lawyer acting on their behalf. Certain documents are meant to be written and stamped by the company but the overall application is the individual's.
