You're all coming to the debut of IRyS's new original song, right? Two minutes until it starts.

Has Mari Mari thought about the person stealing the bike would be happier with the bike than she would be sad for not having it?

I don't get the point of buying merch of someone who's not around anymore tbh, just wait until their reincarnation drops merch and be done with it.
I could see people buying it if they like the design. There's a few reincarnated vtubers where their corpo designs are better then their current indie ones.

Or maybe there'd be people who feel sentimental for their oshi's past life.

Christ what did she do to herself.

To be honest, I don't give a shit about the hololive brand or Cover. I expect they will eventually go to shit. I only care about the talents, particularly my oshis. Once Cover and Holo stop enabling the talents to do their thing and they move on is when I do.
I LIVE AND DIE BY THE COVER CREED, I MADE A BLOOD PACT, NO MATTER WHAT I WILL RESURRECT NYFCO AND SHIT ON ALL EX-HOLOS.

I was browsing youtube and I got this community post from clara 'Die from sepsis' kaminari
KonKaminari~I wrote a bit about it on twitter, but as you've probably noticed from the last few streams, my PC is... dying.I went out to buy parts today and asked the shop to put it together for me because while I COULD build it myself... I ain't got time for that. So it will come at the latest next month. Japanese places are known to give you a longer estimate by a longshot usually so I have hope it will come earlier!!Until then it will probably most likely be a lot of handcams as even karaoke is killing my PC. I tested out opening vts, chrome, and obs all at the same time and... well... CPU 88% memory 91%.I'll be back on monday (sunday depending on your time zone) because I've got some things to record this weekend! I'm asking Airi if we're watching THE GRINCH (Jim Carrey) this week on the KA-CHING!! channel with members. If we are, I'll be on my own channel for euro hours!
I still can't believe these women are this fucking tech illiterate. Bitch you probably got a virus and you go on to buy a prebuilt of all things:whatastory: I also saw pippa had some tech issues like a week ago and was going to replace her pc too when it sounded like it was just a mobo issue.

Anyway have some cursed shit from a nigga with too much time and 3d modelling skills that I found on the clip tag

HoloKoshien is starting.

PekoMari is also doing a watchalong.


RK Music's Xiden unlocks her membership and will be streaming at 5PM JST.

She named her fans aXIs and member tiers are colour coded axis members. Interesting name.

VSpo's Sendo Yuuhi after she gets more comfortable interacting with people in VCR Minecraft.


Re:AcT's Korean branch first gen will have four members.

With links to the Vtubers, all having Japanese names....

VSpo's Komori Met got forced by Fatalis to say the yab word.

Embarrassed Messan is extremely cute.

Maybe this is just bait, but I dont get this mentality of gauging the "rightness" of decisions over "financial reports"
Humans are more than just numbers on a sheet of paper. Most viewers would prefer companies prioritize talent's happiness even if it means tanking financially. E.g. pulling out of china vs terminate coco.

Letting ame and aqua go was the right decision, when the alternative is just let them rot and not streaming. Both are now happy where they are. On the other hand we got ame into doing en reco/holo GTA and aqua doing her 120? consecutive days of streaming. Which would have been skipped entirely if they weren't graduating. Hololive really milked the shit out of aqua for the 5 months leading up to her graduation

even if you just look at the numbers, holo just had their biggest debuts ever with 190k ccv. There are definitely more eyes on holo than when aqua/ame was afk not doing anything last year. Whether they can capitalize on these eyes is another matter.

Tl;dr alot more things to look at rather than just "earnings"
Even if you look at it from the money perspective, at least in Ame's cause, it's a non issue. She's admitted she's been doing rigging work and what not, she created/commissioned numerous models, the whole VR worlds used where her creations, and she owns none of them. This isn't even a "fuck Japanese companies" thing, it's universal that anything you create on the company dime/time belongs to them.

So she can leave and own what she creates, as opposed to getting a backend of the revenue, and a nice resume for clients. It's a win creatively, and monetarily.

I had initially assumed she was going to go full producer mode, but admit I was wrong, she loves to do both. Now she can reap the rewards from doing both.

Honestly I kinda liked her bootleg KosMOS design more compared to... whatever the new one is.
Well at least with this one you can just stick her giant ass plug tail into the charger.

Maybe it wasn't clear, but I'm not measuring "right or wrong", but "goals and results". COVER goal is, in the end, to profit, but there's different ways to it. Going back to China is a controversial path, but it's one of the shortest for an explosive rise in revenue, as long as it works. Letting go of huge earners and in Aqua's case, part of the backbone of your brand, is also failing in compromise from both parties, which is more of a loss for COVER than it is for Aqua, but if they measured what she wanted to do and it wasn't worth to keep her around, the only choice was to milk it, as you said, and split -in this particular case, I don't see how Aqua's coasting would be a liability for the company, even if they let her sit by the backburner, so I suspect there's more details to this than anyone is aware of and will ever be because they split amicably.

One 3h+ stream a week doesn't seem unreasonable to me for someone her size, but that's my humble tard opinion because holding the brand itself would allow for consistent profit with the Aqua character herself.
Didn't they both choose to graduate? What do you think Cover is supposed to do if the girls want to graduate and Cover doesn't want them to?
That enters the part of "they didn't share the information" and could go any way. Copyrights and whatnot are hell to deal with, so it makes sense to remove yourself if you feel you're always losing after dedicating years to your boss, but you never see a satisfied employee leave, unless they're being scooped by a rival workplace.

Nah, China/Bilibili regular streaming ain't coming back. IIRC, China's new rules and regulations about streaming pretty much kills any chance of Cover going back to the market. No sane corpo with streaming as one of their main sources of revenue in the market should dare dip its toe back in there with all the new restrictions and vague verbiage they have in the guidelines:

Also, if you manage to get to 500k subs, you're required to display your real name on your profile. You can probably sell merch and do license tie-ups/events, but as far as Holos streaming regularly on Bilibili are concerned, they're probably limited to guesting on a partner's channel for the occasional event/campaign. Having their own channels/accounts pretty much ensures they self-doxx if/when they reach 500k subs.
