I think the industry is still too young to know what a "normal" rate of turnover looks like, especially since a large chunk of its formative years took place in a period with near-captive audiences and talents potentially having a harder-than-usual time finding employment that wasn't based on sitting in front of your computer at home, of which vtubing at the top levels is basically the most lucrative option available. 2020-2023 might have been an idyll of stability that we'll never see again, irrespective of corporate virtue.
Before the collapse of the CD market, the music industry expected an Act to make all of its money in 4 years. That was it. 4 years to make it or break it. It's why creators that get big hits after a decade are so very rare. Streamers its probably 3 years and then they tail off but can make great money for a while. If you find a new streamer, they probably have 6 months to make it stick and you have maybe 3 years to assume they'll stick around.
Though I also just realized some of the HoloJP members are probably going to end up responding to superchats from viewers about getting married, having their first kid and that kid's highschool graduation before they leave.
When Kiara graduates, it'll be because Cover is shutting down Hololive or because she's gotten too old to be physically able to perform. I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon.
The chicken will complain/woman moment stuff, but her regular access to hot women will never let her give up her spot in Cover.
Probably thousands of people linking "Hololive" and "Mumei" with her because PL! PL! PL! PL!
The algo doesn't only analyze your data but also compares to the data of other similar users.
If you follow anyone in the Vtuber space, the biggest thing going on in that space is following Mumei's PL. This happened to me with Coco. I knew that Coco was Kson because of Twitter recommendations before I knew who Coco or Hololive really was. It also let me know that Mori and Demondice were the same person.
Yes but rather creepy that it suggested it to me today when I hadn't even been searching for Mumei there or commenting on posts about her.
You follow accounts about Vtubers. It's the biggest thing happen in that identifiable network. It'll suggest it to you. Youtube will also do that as well.
Next time I vague post for fun I will include a disclaimer
Disclaimer this is from memory:
- She talked to Fauna and Ame very recently
- She was chatting with Ame during backstage at Fes, then ran over to Calli and they sent a selfie together to her
- She once again says that there are many different things that Management could improve on, and that the issues they have are different for each girl are different
- The fix for one girls gripes could inconvenience another one or not help her at all, there is no 1-fits all solution
- thats why changes have to be slow and put in with consideration
- She says that she once again considered graduation not that long ago (implied to be Winter 24/25 in January or February)
- She can't guarantee what happens and what life throws at her, so she can't promise that she will still be here in 2 or 3 years, she just doesn't know
- She has no plans to leave yet
- She can promise that KFP won't lose her in 2025 at least
- She dislikes the way graduations are always so vague
- She doesn't like to lie or to keep those who support her in the dark (she will probably be not subtle if its really a management issue)
- So if she ever was to leave, there will be hints (it will be very obvious)
- (I am not taking Kiaras graduation baiting here all that serious, she always seems to think about graduation during her winter depression bouts and she seems to think that Hololive will either fire her ass or that she will not last another yeas since 2021. I swear, that I don't know if I can promise 2 or more years of this, I don't know if I can take it, she said that same stuff back in 2022 and 2023)
- She had a big long rant about how Management dropped the ball heavily on Holotori
- Says that she had big plans for holotori and was really happy when they were finally recognised as a real idol unit by management and that management took care of Holotori Dance
- But since then, not much happened
- She has been trying to get a new song going for the past 2 years but just doesn't work out because of management
- Holotori has a responsible creative director or something like that Kiara and the others pitch ideas or so to, and he then goes with those to other managers before they can do anything
- Somewhere along the way, the new Holotori projects all die in cold hell of middle management
- Kiara has already given up on ever getting a Sololive or a 2nd 3D outfit
- but she hoped that maybe by leveraging Holotori as a group they all might get special Holotori idol uniforms or something or get to do a concert, but that all never happened as well
- One day the director said that he has a new roadmap thing for Holotori in the works, he just has to iron it out with the other management but he never got back her with that, despite Kiara poking him for it every other week or so
- Slowly she felt really time pressure mounting to really put something out with holotori, but management still didnt get moving
- Ever since Mumei announced it internally Kiara has been upping the pressure and yet, nobody else seems to feel that pressure
- She didnt really specify if management ghosted her or just hold her off with cookie cutter replies, but the gist is that Holotori, with management support could have been much more and now with Mumei leaving Kiaras vision for her own idol sub group will never be realised, no matter how much she pushed
- She also had a lengthy talk about her depression
- Currently her depression seems to be on the more severe side
- She can barely get motivated to do everyday things like cooking, take a shower, clean up or just shop for groceries
- She barely leaves her house anymore
- Thats why she is very very proud of herself to even go to Yoga class every week
- She jumps in head first into Holo Homework so that she can distract herself from how shitty she feels about everything else in her life
- She wants to go back to see her shrink again soon, considering getting anti-depressants from her
- She does have irl and Holo friends but at the end, her only real support system seems to be her cats
- She probably had depression since way before she joined Holo and has let it fester untreated in the back for way too long
- She always tries to overcome those things on her own in the past
- She thinks that is what has made her strong in the past
- Despite all that, she still feels better now than she did in late 23/ early 24 when she considered graduating the last time
- Her summer months seem really packed
- She has to be in America for 2 different occasions that are only 1 week apart
- She will try to do an America vacation with someone (potentially Ame, maybe someone else) during that 1 week
- One of those is very very likely the next full EN concert
- She is sad she missed her change to go on a Maldives trip this year
- She wanted to go with Kronii but she got cucked by Kaela
- Btw, Kronii is still blue balling Kiara on a collab Kronii herself proposed to Kiara, Kiara got back to her on it and since thing nothing
- She will not bother with VR chat collabs anymore, too much work. These days there are people in management who know their way around VR chat, she leaves it up to them
- She did not prepare anything special for Easter, but well her Covid compensation 3D Live will release around that time
- Reminder:
- That 3D Live was supposed to be recorded in last December but they were unable to due to various visa issues
- Every single EN talent was supposed to be part of the show (yes, all, even the shark said yes)
- Easter is about a week before Mumei leaves, so she still might be in Kiaras show
This stream began really depressing and with Kiara really down in the dumps. But the mood got better as it went on. I still think she will cuddle a few more times with her cats and then she will overcome this too. Kiara is not as weak as she might look, I trust her still. She just really needed that outlet and vent because her chat is more of a psychologist to her than her shrink will ever be.
Good rundown. Thanks.
it's been confirmed since the Mario movie was. but you probably forgot since that's literally the only news we had on it Avi is a good producer (as much as you can tell from his work anyway)
but why the fuck would you get The Maze Runner guy (Wes Ball) is Sony really going to tank the movie because of years of petty rivalry between the two?
The Maze Runner series was well directed. I'm told the recent Planet of the Apes move was also well done. He might be the only guy in Hollywood that can direct an adventure movie right now. It was actually a good hire. But that's the type of movie that needs a really strong Producer side of things. You can't make that up by the time a Director is taking control of the project.
I cant believe she hates mumei!!!!
That is just normal orange woman complaint. She complains publicly and privately about doing 3D all the time.
This kinda complaint has been proven to work as management actually listened (see myth concert) so she is now empowered to do it way more. Hiding it behind membered stream rather than publicly is improvement actually.
I personally dont think holotori can work as an actual idol group considering mumei has been physically and vocally unfit for the last 3 years and all of them lives in a different country. The middle management guy might have actually tried but failed the logistics of it all.
Imo, if she want to push for an idol group that is closer to a gen than just fun side projects, she has to move to japan. I think for example there are (irys bae subaru zeta) who are basically stranded from their own gen, good at dancing, idol pilled, living in japan will be willing to pursue something serious with kiara as long as she gave up living in europe.
It almost assuredly is issues with logistics. It's a project that spans 3 branches, so that's 3 separate management organizations in the company. It's sadly not surprising that all of the ideas die pretty quickly. Even aligning schedules would be a mess. UmiSea is probably the best example of how hard that clearly is to operate.
the real answer is that she lost her phone, which had her reservation to an event today, and she went on a 4 AM journey to get it back by going to a building she's never been at (her iPad said the phone was there)
absolutely zero survival instincts whatsoever, but she made it to the reservation in time! turns out a friend of a friend had her phone, and nobody told her until the morning of.
This... isn't surprising, with her. Glad she's okay.
