thats probably bullshit but i believe it
Women's relationships change much more than men's - women can hate eachother one week and be firm friends the next. The only assumption you can make is that they were on friendly enough terms at that particular point in time that they felt they could do a professional collab.Where does this put Reina though? She collabed with Clara years later. I think she's the only one from Prod Kawaii she's ever interacted with, in fact.
Production Kawaii is one of the older vtuber companies, having started all the way back in 2021. It is no stranger to controversy, most notably the mass graduation of the entire 3rd Generation, documented here, who went on to form V-Dere.
Over the years, my attitude towards Kawaii has shifted from positive to very, very negative. I used to enjoy several of their talents, but as time went by, they all started to give me strange vibes. Nowadays, I have enough experience to come right out and say it; they're a bunch of 's.
Note that this applies entirely to the 1st Generation. I know nothing substantive about the 4th Generation, which debuted long after I stopped watching them.
Though the first stream isn't live yet, I can confirm that Kawaii is dead, dead, dead, dead. I first heard rumours about something going down several months ago, but they were simply that; rumours. But as time went by and Kawaii's efforts became more and more tokenistic and perfunctory (things like their summer event taking place a month after summer ended, and blatantly ripping off Phase Connect's own version of said event) I began to believe the rumours. Then a few weeks ago, I got confirmation; the entire company is bankrupt and shutting down.
As a disclaimer; my sources are not V-Dere or anyone related to them. I like V-Dere and consider them significantly superior to Kawaii, but I have no interest in bothering them over years-old details at this point.
I'm reserving this thread for discussion of the events that will follow, and for updates on where the girls go next, if they choose to remain vtubers at all. I have some of my own thoughts and speculations, but I'm also very sleepy after a day embracing my CADtism. We'll see how things pan out, and if everyone chooses to shut up and do nothing, or have some fascinating woman moments. Either way, expect a lot of accountability-dodging.
I hope the same, from the little I watched they seemed like a good group. I really hope they continue streaming (if possible on youtube, because I am still not following anyone to Twitch)I only hope Hiyori and the other Ephemira girls can keep going.
Oh hey, I do remember that! Yeah I think she mentioned it before Selen's termination, around november or december. Who was it again, wasn't it the one with blue hair or something? I think they talked about anime boys or something like thatOh yeah...
Say, does anyone remember when Elira and Reina collabed, and called each other best friends who exchanged 'very long and intense DMs' or something of that nature?
Probably just a coincidence.
But why would anyone hate Nene Amano?Production Kawaii is one of the older vtuber companies, having started all the way back in 2021. It is no stranger to controversy, most notably the mass graduation of the entire 3rd Generation, documented here, who went on to form V-Dere.

Maybe. Assuming this:I only hope Hiyori and the other Ephemira girls can keep going.
is true (which I don’t see how it wouldn’t be), it’d be up to each talent to decide which way to go. I do know one of the talents said she could never completely give up her PL, but that doesn’t mean she’s returning there.Namiji says she's not going anywhere, so I guess IP's will stay with them
Can we get details abour what exactly Nene did? What is the source of that information?Some receipts would be niceBut why would anyone hate Nene Amano?
She is such a sweet girl and not a massive mean bitch by any means
Like a champWonder how the head bitch is taking it aka Nene amano
I have no opinion on her but I said it yesterday and I will say it again, the people that hate her always say she's a bitch but here I am waiting for proof for like 3 years and they never show anything.Can we get details abour what exactly Nene did?

The only things I can think of that pissed people off were that she made a fake graduation announcement in wake of Sana (who didn't care about vtubing and spearheaded the black text on white background bullshit anyway) and that she might have had a boyrfriend yab.I have no opinion on her but I said it yesterday and I will say it again, the people that hate her always say she's a bitch but here I am waiting for proof for like 3 years and they never show anything.
Nene Amano and Lumi Kaneko directly seek to destroy vtubing.I have no opinion on her but I said it yesterday and I will say it again, the people that hate her always say she's a bitch but here I am waiting for proof for like 3 years and they never show anything.
Also, it appears the former Hana Flores posted this morning
The talent who did best out of Production Kawaii spent the least amount of time at the company.Reminder, this is Clara from Phase now. The absolute fucking SASS from this woman.
We just got a Phase Invaders update. Given how Kawaii is circling the drain, I think Phase has better options at the moment.Has Sakana hinted at when the next phase invaders are going to debut? Could they be waiting for the ship to sink to rescue one of the good ones?
In b4 stop phasebegging, I'm just noting it would not be the first time they poached talents from a failing corpo
Took some time to find since it wasn't actually a collab stream. Both Reina and Namiji(she's the blue one) called in during Elira's birthday stream. They hung out for around 25 minutes.Oh hey, I do remember that! Yeah I think she mentioned it before Selen's termination, around november or december. Who was it again, wasn't it the one with blue hair or something? I think they talked about anime boys or something like that
He mentioned rounding up the talent number this year, but nothing conclusive. But they've just announced they are picked so no idea. In theory someone who knows the announcement date and "closure" beforehand might get in, since Kawaii probably won't be around by thenHas Sakana hinted at when the next phase invaders are going to debut? Could they be waiting for the ship to sink to rescue one of the good ones?

This is a nothingburger imo. The real bitch move was scheduling their concert like a week before CTW to brag about being first.The only things I can think of that pissed people off were that she made a fake graduation announcement in wake of Sana
