Does this count as part of the casualty list
Wait,, really??Speaking of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki just died from cancer.
Hallelujah! She’s alive! Sad to see the Momo persona go, though.Idol Corp’s Twitter account has posted this message from Momo Otako. She’s retiring the persona, specifically saying it’s not a graduation. I’m assuming a rebrand under a new name and model perhaps.
I would say it does. It's a graduation in all but name. The fact that they even changed her name on all accounts from "Momo Otako" to "idolRedacted" + purging the VODs indicates we won't be seeing "Momo Otako" ever again.Does this count as part of the casualty list

I wonder if it's more of a soft redesign like Yuri had under Phase than a complete redesign. The way it's being handled is definitely odd."not a graduation" that's literally what a graduation is though, the character dies and you get a new one.
They did the same for Katta and Nikki when they switched from HE to EN. To my very limited knowledge this is the first time a corpo has done a drastic redesign, but I'm glad for her fans that she herself will continue.I would say it does. It's a graduation in all but name. The fact that they even changed her name on all accounts from "Momo Otako" to "idolRedacted" + purging the VODs indicates we won't be seeing "Momo Otako" ever again.
It's just a bit muddled because they explicitly say it's not a graduation, and it's a case where the "reincarnation" will happen within the same company. I don't think there's any precedent in EN VTubing where a talent re-debuts as a completely different persona, while purging all traces of the previous persona in the same company.
Nah I think she and/or aviel are just playing semantics and trying to make it seem like it isn't something which such negative connotations. Even when dying Idol still refuses to admit it's no better than the rest of the industry.I wonder if it's more of a soft redesign like Yuri had under Phase than a complete redesign.

I hope to god the new design doesn't have any of the gross tentacle shit.
Unless Lisa sold her IP rights to Idol as the cost of getting in, Brave wouldn't have any claim to the rights. For most Idol talents, their IPs were created by, and therefore property of, Idol, and its successor Brave would inherit those rights. Lisa might have to give up her new model, but would retain the rights to the underlying character and previous model (again, presuming she didn't sign them away).
I was just thinking about the time he made a big deal about them opening up international distribution centres to speed up shipping. The guy really doesn't plan any further than the announcement for things, huh.
Let's get this straight: Brave has bought a vtuber company that won't have its top performers and also bought the right to refund all of that company's unshipped merch.
Fucking lol.
I remember when Idol was announced I assumed the Jewcorp was a scam, over 2022-2023 I then actually thought it was a legit company holding its own. Then I thought it was a decent company just with some bad egg talents. It appears the corpo was a trainwreck the whole time?
At this point, I'm genuinely impressed by how much Aviel was able to scam everyone involved:
-Talents had no talent manager
-Fans never got their merch and there was likely no warehouse for distribution
-Brave bought a vtuber company where the top performers leave immediately and are now responsible for the merch
This man fucked over everyone. I can't even be mad, well done Aviel, well done.
Don't worry she's a cursed object and brave will be bankrupt in the near future with her track record.
I'm not optimistic that she didn't fuck herself doubly so by both being mutually autistic with the Fish/Pippa/Phase over communicating, and then everything with Idol (which was being finalized as another tendril of Brave by the time she joined up).
The other shoe will drop with Brave at some point and who knows what the finer details of the Idol contract side looks like (a Byzantine legal framework with potential loopholes/obfuscated punitive or enforcement clauses). Even if that carries forward, renegotiations will happen eventually and Idol being broke at the time of sale does little to assuage any worries about what the cost then and in the future will be.
That always struck me as strange, at least how she worded it. She mentioned not being contacted by Sakana, so did she never even apply to Phase Invaders? It's not like Phase can magically know she was looking for another company.I'm not optimistic that she didn't fuck herself doubly so by both being mutually autistic with the Fish/Pippa/Phase over communicating, and then everything with Idol (which was being finalized as another tendril of Brave by the time she joined up).
I think it was generally assumed (here anyway) 50:50 of both column A and B.That always struck me as strange, at least how she worded it.

Unless she was turned off by Phase Beggars and was too polite to say it.
In terms of vtuber heads, we have:I always felt Sakana was honest about his intentions. He never bragged about Phase Connect's superiority and in fact all his public appearances have shown him as autistically honest as possible with absolutely no pandering or weasle words. The dumb shit he says on stream actually makes him look better than Aviel.
I mean, I would say founding a legitimate and successful company in a saturated, new entertainment genre where organization lifespans might be unironically measured in a year (or less) vs. a scam on every fucking level is what made him look better.The dumb shit he says on stream actually makes him look better than Aviel.
Well.. that's not my wallet.You don't like it when the whore keeps whispering "transparency" into your ear while she's gently lifting your wallet out of your trouser pocket for herself?

The retarded and autistic moments/stories just make him likable. The TRANSPARENCY just make Aviel a Jew.
Going to need to put Sakana a bit higher than Gunrun. Whenever Sakana shows up on a stream to bully one of the girls, that's a free $20 to all of the clippers.In terms of vtuber heads, we have:

The clippers earlier this year made the revelation that Fishman generates an instant 30k+ views to a video. Hell, if you look at my channel's most watched videos, the top row is entirely clips with Sakana.Jelly on the couch being bullied daily by Fishman, surrounded by clippers?
