The Lazarus Pit - streamers who have/are graduating we expect to see back

[I Wanna Die]

Phase auditions are still open, so technically anyone can still apply. Can't say much about Shondo, but Sayu might have needed some support to consider it, as she occasionally defaults to "I have no friends, nobody likes me" mode.

One theory for Nova staying is her sponsorships. If it's true and they end this year, she might quit and then join Phase, but we need to wait and see her situation. She mentioned she won't stream as Kei, so a corpo reincarnation is possible and i think she would be interested enough to apply.

If she's not gonna stream as Kei what was the point of her getting new rigging for her funded?

If she's not gonna stream as Kei what was the point of her getting new rigging for her funded?

Main reason she wanted it was for shorts, although she said she'll probably show the rigging on a stream. Then after all that, she tweeted that she's tired of dealing with Vreverie drama on her alt to a point she wanted to block everyone involved there. We will see if she changes her mind by the time she decides to graduate

I'm gonna grab some stuff from the general thread so people can reference it easier

Out of sheer boredom I decided to look around and see how many micro corpos I could find on twitter, some of these have been posted before I'm sure but a lot of these seem to have been around for a while.

First up we have Project Phoenix, a Gr-Agency whatever that means, they're currently looking for talent managers


Next we have V-Next, a Thailand based agency. Don't know anything about them other than that.


Aegis link, a US based "agency" is going to open up auditions soon. Currently they're only looking for female talents but the next gen may be open to male applicants as well.


I think someone posted Glitch Stars on here at some point but I'm too lazy to check.


I think I've seen Bondlive EN come up once or twice here but they're currently accepting applications for that scam Iriam app

I think this one is more of a group than a legit agency but MoxiesKlubhouse is still accepting applications also I think they are furries


And lastly, OshiLink will be debuting their first gen starting may 25th

List of small corpos trying to get off the ground/currently debuting talents.

Not-Nebi doesn't like people bringing up PixelLink and her old genmates. She said one day she may talk about it but not soon.

Not-Nebi apparently, Bronze is already in this thread so ask them

Given Sayu's meltdown the other day, it is basically a guarantee that Fishman will grab her if he wants her, as there's no way she's saying no, and given the bridges she made with Shinna and the other phase girls, it's going to be hard for fish man to reject her.

Why would you want someone with so much baggage? This is basically a ticking time bomb of a woman.

Remember, this is Phase Connect where talking about here. They have the best tard wranglers in all of vtubing, and they have the best chance of fixing the personality problems she has. Also, there, now at the level of growth and stability that the backlisting stuff Sayu is going through doesn't really affect Phase, as shown by the offkai fiasco. Sayu already has a big fan base and just needs a broader community to help fix her mental, which is something Phase is uniquely capable of doing. It's a risk for Phase, but there's definitely profit in it, and I'd give them a far better chance at fixing her than Idol or any other org for that matter.

 

[Brosnan Pierce Brosnan]

I guess we are menhera maxing with these pics. Phase will get Chromuchromu, Aurora and Mana and ENJOY IT

She said she wants to do just one stream to show off the rigging three days ago, BTW:

Will never not be a risk, but Phase, even after their horrible first year that almost closed them down (and look where they are) hasn’t shut down yet (knocks on wood)

I think Fishman said they tripled in size year over year last year because of the monumental growth they had. Phase is in zero danger right now as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Bronze]

Biggest issue with Sayu will be IP ownership. She shouldn't give it, but I don't see how beneficial it will be for her to take a "break" and get a new one under Phase. On the other hand maybe that's exactly what she needs mentally for a year or two.

Not-Nebi apparently, Bronze is already in this thread so ask them

Someone mentioned her being active on an IRL +18 alt in the deadpool thread. I've asked them, they dm'ed me an account called comfynekomimi(she rebranded but twitter search gives replies to that vtuber account) and told me she likes to reincarnate. At that time she also had another account with similar name, but I cant find it so she probably renamed it to something else.

wait what alt?

So I dug a bit and it seems she's also using her older vtuber account, EllieTheVtuber mentioned in a reddit comment and streamed there in April.(Twitch link doesn't work due to rebrand)
Fansly she used as that account, but she is rebranding so she'll dfe there. The new name may be the rebrand of the other account. There's a twitter profile from a year ago with only 11 posts with same name.

TLDR: I've been pointed to her IRL content which led to this vtuber account. Some redditors also believe its her and gave additional accounts of her. The post I've put is soon after PixelLink's gen 2 model reveal trailer, so it kinda confirms it for me and I haven't seen anything that says otherwise. I wont bother with other accounts further.

it's also in the degen thread.

Some habanero-level spiciness was posted on the homeland thread a few days ago about Nebi Nebu, the alien girl from PixelLink
View attachment 36787
Well, her past identity was Nezumi Nemurin, who apparently also made NSFW material of herself on Fansly
View attachment 36788
View attachment 36789
You may be thinking this is an Ame's roommate situation where she made porn of her character, but no, she posted nudes (and often more) of her real, flesh-and-blood body.

I won't link to the pictures directly for obvious reasons, but if you want to say you've seen everything about your oshi, you can check this /vt/ thread archive.

Thank God she's actually really hot IRL

I randomly decided to check up if there were any news about Miyune. Last thing I heard was that she went on a streaming hiatus in early December, and then also stopped posting on Twitter after New Year's. According to a reddit post, she reincarnated as Miniko Mew, who debuted in January and currently has about 500 YouTube subscribers and 2,700 Twitch followers (in comparison to Miyune's 38,400 and 117,300 respectively). Was there any particular reason why she would just start over completely like that? I get the impression that most people who were at least generally aware of Miyune have no clue where she went and still just think that she's on a indefinite break from streaming/internet in general.

Crosspost from general

Honestly straight-up reincarnating would probably be her best option at this point. Her Sayu indentity has a lot of baggage since most of the attention she's got from it has been whenever she's been bitching about Nijisanji, so starting fresh under a corpo rather than clinging on to a persona that most people see as the face of a reluctant drama channel would put her in a healthier position.

I don’t think it’s so straightforward. Yes, it would definitely give her a break from all…that. However, I can’t guarantee it wouldn’t find its way back. Additionally, she’s put a lot into Sayu just counting the time post-Nijisanji, and I’m never sure about graduating a second time (or going on indefinite hiatus). Definitely wouldn’t recommend handing her existing intellectual property over, either (of course, I NEVER do–quite the opposite, in fact: NEVER sign away your intellectual property).
All in all, the answer to “what’s best for her?” is blowing in the wind.

Did a quick update the OP. Thank you all for the activity here, it helps a lot.

Lest we've forgotten, IdolEN has a gen 3 with teased silhouettes at Offkai, so five more who have likely been in prep for a while. This in addition to the three they just debuted from ENCORE.
Doesn't look like Phase has anything in the works before this Invaders audition, so the next few months will be the realm of much smaller corpo moves on the EN side, if anything.

VAllure dug up some intensely 1-view talents, people whose hiatus didn't get mentioned anywhere. Very much a talent-based audition rather than a following-based one.

Might have missed it in the update, but naki might need to be added as she went on indefinite hiatus about a few weeks after prism project shut down.


E- probably could put all the girls and guy from prism project, as they are all talented in some form or fashion. Most seem happy as indie but could probably get into any of the bigger corpos.

Thing is, most of them are currently still active, so it’s unlikely they’re going anywhere currently, and even if they are, isn’t this thread for the inactives?

Indies I have my eye on:
This list is for currently active prominent indie creators.

Last Vtuber Account: BriAtCookiebox
Account History: BriAtCookiebox -> Cheri Lupina (VReverie) -> BriAtCookiebox
Talents: Souls gamer, RPGs, good at talking, memer.
Background: The star of VReverie. Graduating Jan 28th, 2024 and going back to indie. Her relative success in VReverie makes for a pretty good resume.
Where she goes: None of the ex-VReverie seem to have anything lined up yet.

Last Vtuber Account: Mint Fantome
Account History: Mint Fantome / Maid Mint -> Pomu Rainpuff (NijiEN) -> Mint Fantome
Talents: Singing, goofing off, zatsu. A great all-rounder. Now has a podcast with Matara Kan.
Background: A pre-Myth vtuber, a huge Nijisanji fan who got into NijiEN's first wave. Graduated January 20th, 2024. Returned to her indie account with her friend Matara's encouragement. Still feels likely she'll go corpo again.
Where She Goes: Vshojo or HoloEN.

Last Vtuber Account: Shumi Shumikea
Account History: Ika Gayou -> Shumi Shumikea (Bentala B) -> Shumi Shumikea
Talents: Meme, drawing, collabs. ID/EN/JP languages. A lot of her subs came from anime digital art tutorials.
Background: Quite possibly the biggest ID indie, she's got 500k subs on one account and 100k+ on her last corpo attempt with ID micro-corpo Bentala B. She was big enough that they used her PL publicly as a recruitment tool similar to how Idol promoted Riro with ky0resu. She still streams on the Shumi account as an indie.
Where She Goes: Great candidate for any ID corpo.

For other prominents, you can look at the viewership list to figure out both the old standards and the up and coming:
EN Corpo CCV YT March 2024

Spoiler: EN Indie CCV Twitch/YT March 2024

1. Dokibird (9,620 ccv, month to month NA)
2. Neuro-sama (8,376 ccv, 14% down)

4. Vei (5,780 ccv, down 16%)
5. Shylily (4,440 ccv, down 29%)
6. Shxtou (4,231 cvv, up 15%)

19: Vienna (1,884 ccv, up 27%)
20: LucyPyre (1,867 ccv, up 6%)

Back Burner / Retirement Home:
I don't know if these people are going anywhere but it's worth listing them as they have more prominence than most indies.

Last Vtuber Account: Dokibird
Account History: Dokibird -> Selen Tatsuki (NijiEN) -> Dokibird
Talents: FPS gaming, memes and laughing.
Background: Was terminated from NijiEN in controversial fashion on Feb 5, 2024, and immediately reincarnated back to her previous account.
Where She Goes: May join an esports org. XSET's manager is her manager.

Last Vtuber Account: Miori Celesta
Account History: Miori Celesta (MyHolo-TV) -> Miori Celesta -> Miori Celesta (Tsunderia) -> Miori Celesta
Talents: Singing including music project management, streaming, GFE. Kept her career going strong despite some kind of post-secondary hell.
Background: Ex-MyHolo-TV. A very consistent and large indie with holo and phase connections. She's preferred to remain indie in the past and her commitment between vtuber and education was up in the air until a few months ago. Spoke about taking opportunities.
Where She Goes: Unknown, doesn't seem to have a desire to go corpo.

Last Vtuber Account: Nabi
Account History: Nabi
Talents: Prominent Korean artist who has even been a Holo-mama. Trilingual with English being her weakest.
Background: Always quitting, deleting everything, then returning, the latest episode on Sept 14, 2023, likely to do with school and seems more permanent. However her close association with Hololive always places her square into any KR-related rumors.
Where She Goes: Almost certainly not going anywhere, outside chance of HoloKR if it ever becomes real

Last Vtuber Account: Wolfychu
Account History: Unresearched.
Talents: Long time animation-maker and anime-adjacent YouTuber, still on the YT grind. Cover songs, self-animated talking videos. Self-taught Japanese.
Background: One of the OG anitubers. Stopped streaming on Twitch at end of March 2023, still streams bit on YT, but overall much less than she used to. Her partner was Jordan Sweeto aka Ren Zotto of NijiEn, but they are likely not together anymore.
Where She Goes: Anything other than Holo or maybe Vshojo (as herself) would be a downgrade.

Last Vtuber Account: Randon
Account History: Randon -> Vesper Noir (HoloStars EN) -> Randon
Talents: Zatsu, older games, roguelikes, old man talking.
Background: Long hiatus June 10, 2023 followed by graduation from HoloStars En Aug 31, 2023. Active as an indie.
Where He Goes: Seems happy enough as an indie.

Last Vtuber Account: Dezmond Magni
Account History: Professor Lando -> Dezmond Magni (HoloStars EN) -> Professor Lando
Talents: Meme, drawing, weeb culture.
Background: Long hiatus June 10, 2023 followed by graduation from HoloStars EN Aug 31, 2023. Active as an indie fleshstreamer.
Where He Goes: Seems he's fleshstreaming for now and getting a vtuber avatar.

Last Vtuber Account Yozora Mel
Account History: Rica -> Yozora Mel (Hololive) -> Rica (utaite)
Talents: Singing. ASMR. Variety streamer. Pretty much every utaite you can trace a connection back to her, even people like Namirin.
Background: First generation Hololive talent, terminated Jan 16, 2024. Maintained her PL while in Hololive.

Last Vtuber Account 10JIN
Account History: Bonnivier Pranaja (NijiID) -> 10JIN
Talents: FPS gaming and variety streamer. Funnyman. EN / ID.
Background: Graduated Nijisanji (ex-ID) on May 26, 2024. Immediately picked his alt back up, and he had streamed there many times before graduation.

Last Vtuber Account: Suzuka Utako
Account History: Suzuka Utako (Nijisanji) -> ?
Talents: A calm personality, horny, variety streamer.
Background: A Niji OG from their famous second gen, graduated Nijisanji on June 12, 2024. I don't know her alt but haven't heard of her return.

Also count as retirement home but almost certainly going nowhere due to the circumstances of their retirements:
Sayu Synchronicity (Zaion Lanza, NijiEN), Utada Zoey (Oceane Otoshi, Production Kawaii), Nanobites (Fuura Yuri, Phase Connect / Amaris Yuri, Cyberlive), ky0resu (Riro Ron, Idol)

thought this was mostly to track who went to where or became. Not really active or inactive.
