That's such a perfect duo name for them I wonder if Gigi and Kronii have picked one yet they seem to be growing pretty close both have addressed loving to push each others buttons recently

yesterday people were suggesting FistingTime and it seemed like a pretty popular pair name in chat, she should suggest it to Gigi

YouTube now appears to be running unskippable 60+ minute advertisements as some kind of punishment for using adblock(?), as spotted by Kiwi Farms user Relinquish.

I'm not privy to the reasons behind her graduation. There have been multiple rrats from disputes with other talents, problems with management, desire to own the rights to her music, etc but as for what actually happened I have no clue. I do know that she was unaware the company was closing before her graduation, and that she was never offered her model/IP (though she did inquire about purchasing it on at least one occasion after the closure announcement was made).

As to her complete disappearance, I again am just as in the dark as you are. She had the trip to Japan with V-Dere planned for late October, so not redebuting before then makes sense. She's claimed she had what she thought was an amazing opportunity that fell through that some people believe means she was offered a spot in the new V-Dere gen before Elia left (coinciding with the rrat that each V-Dere girl got to pick one newcomer, and she would have been Elia's), but she's also claimed she originally wanted to debut in November but the model/rigging wasn't ready. She's stated she tried to leave "hints" for people to find her new account (which, to be fair, did work as I was following the Ekkomori account before Kilia had even graduated), but overall I agree with you - she definitely did not capitalize on any momentum. Kilia had (in my biased opinion) a world class model, so waiting all the way until February to debut with a model that doesn't measure up to Nemo's (formerly Nanimo Navi of EIEN, so started the rebranding process later) is definitely bizarre. A cynical person would say she felt pressured to debut before Valentine's Day, for obvious reasons, even though she's unhappy with her current model (she already claims to be working on a 2.0 using Kilia's mother).

Ultimately I agree with your assessment of the move to Twitch. For sure if you're in her Discord there are people who shill the hell out of Twitch, for reasons that are entirely unknown to me. But changing streaming platforms is essentially a death sentence for the average fan that's relatively uninvolved and just watches streams (literally me before I found her as Kilia). I can only guess that the people pushing for the switch are misguided fans who think the only route to success as an indie is to follow in the footsteps of the /lig/gers, or are bad actors trying to take advantage of the chaos to become certified groomers as her audience shrinks and, as @frz pointed out, she moves to a more interactive platform that is more conducive to "hoe-fication." I would like to believe the first scenario is significantly more likely, but now that I've seen her not give any indication of the ability to process the possibility of having bad mods I am more wary of her ability to weed out the problematic people in her community.

I think one reason viewers might push a streamer towards Twitch is just that it's a much more fun platform for chatting. Lots of plug-ins for emotes and such, more interaction available generally, etc. That said, I think it's pretty selfish since there's essentially 0 discoverability on it compared to Youtube from what I hear. Realistically a content creator should probably be multi-streaming along with making Youtube video content anyway if they are serious about making money.

YUU ANNI.

I don't know what she is saying but this is very cute

My nihongo is not the most jouzu but I'm fairly confident I deciphered her writing correctly at least.

２年目やりたいやること　（３年目に正解はっぴょう）= Things I want to will do in my 2nd year (Will announce whether they came true by my 3rd year)

• OWのカスタムをひらく = Host an OW custom
• 大会に出る = Participate in a tournament
• 酒の案件 = Sake sponsorship
• Yuunioncatの立体化 = Yuunioncat 3D transformation (i.e. Yuunioncat physical merch, probably a plush?)

The drawing is an Instagram version of Yuunioncat with a SNOW filter.

Basically she wrote a wishlist of things which are different from the official/confirmed goals she talks about earlier in the stream. Not sure if I understood the part in the upper right correctly but I believe it means she'll do a review of these during her third anniversary.

The stuff she has lined up for her second year, in case it hasn't been posted elsewhere:

• Original solo song release
• Many collab covers (though recording isn't finished yet)
• Something special when she hits 50k subscribers

 

[frz]

Ina and Raora haven't done an art collab

Wow ina hate raora confirmes.

The girl that was trying to copycat everything about ShyLily. Her accent, manorisms, her logo, her fan name, and her design.

Honestly would be pretty kino if she pull off fuwamoco. Something like Lola and unmedicated Lola flaming eachother/herself on stream and occasionally one of them dissapear when she took med.

This is headlined by the three Idol Corp: Encore girls, who each have an original song coming out for the concert, and each girl has three supporting artists each day from both Idol Corp and indies or other small corpos, like Serina from V4 Mirai and Himemiya Rie from Phase Connect.

Isn't he still dead?

He pops on twitter once in a while to retweet stuff mainly, other than that he's still pretty much MIA.

Clip tax:
polka talking about getting to flirt with a cute voice actor (seriously how the fuck does oga pulls this off) and seeing the way the homo uses the stage inspire her.

FYI Oga used to work as a voice actor too (mostly on minor stuff) before focusing on being a game creator, his most known game features voice acting so it probably wasn't that hard for him to network with other seiyuus on the way.
The game name? 100% orange juice.

Mint venting because she had an opportunity for some MGS project but Niji said no and kept that info from her. She only heard it from someone else after graduating.
