Nana announcement soon.
Could be a nothing burger like some merch or something more substantial. I don't feel there's been anything to warrant bad news.
Looks like Nana's getting Suisei'd into PRISM PROJECT:
"I can finally say I am being transferred into PRISM PROJECT as a new talent"
TL;DW:
- auditioned in August last year
Reasons why she's joining PP?
- PP has been acquired by Sony Music JP and is one of the reasons she auditioned. Says she always wanted to be a major music artist and thinks that being a Sony Music talent under PP at least gets her foot in the door.
- She has friends in PRISM Project. One of her friends was the key reference in getting her to write a song for them.
- Possibility of keeping her character as Nana Asteria - which is very important for her as it allows her to keep her channel & fans.
- Career-planning advice. Says PRISM's management team has a lot of experience in the industry. Cites her dream of wanting to do more content-creation and music and wants to get input from pros.
Personal goals under PP:
- Would like to release more high-quality original music. Being under PP/Sony helps her now that she'll have a team.
-
"Wants to figure out how to make vtubing a sustainable career." Cites the team at PP as being a key.
Things that will change now under PP:
- She's been planning to show her fans a new outfit for a while now but will postpone that during her re-debut date (Friday next week)
- Her re-debut date under PP will be:
June 30 JST/ June 29 for Burgers
- sneak-peek of the new outfit she'll be re-debuting with next week:
- Her current model will be retained but she will likely be streaming more with the new outfit moving forward.
- She will have two "blue-themed" gen-mates on re-debut
- she'll release more schedules because she's now contractually obligated to
- she'll have to be more wary of copyright as she now falls under the same JP corpo autism about music/game permissions
- she'll be deactivating her merchandise shop. She'll still honor current orders until end-of-month. All future merch will now be handled by PP.
- she'll be deactivating her Throne account soon as no other PP talent has a Throne account.
- she'll be stepping back from her Galaxy Gang Discord server so she won't be running it herself anymore and will be handing control/management to her mods. The Discord will remain but she'll be on the PP corpo Discord server now.

Nana Asteria new original song "Call Unto You" will be released on July 7th
