kson is doing a tell-all stream right now, might clear up some of the rrats on this board so people should check it out. someone's doing live english TLs which you can see on holodex

12:45 Question 1: Are you now owned by a company?
12:55 Answer 1: No. Souchou is still an individual VTuber.
13:05 Kson: All members of VShojo are indies.
13:18 Kson: That's the long and short of it.
13:28 Kson: So I am NOT now part of a company.
13:49 Kson: Members of VShojo include Melody and Nyanners.
13:52 Kson: There are quite a few girls.
13:56 Kson: All of them are independents.
14:04 Kson: They do whatever they want.
14:19 Kson: Just clarifying that VShojo is NOT a company.
14:25 Kson: I'll explain in detail later.
14:31 Kson: Through later questions.
14:45 Kson: There were a lot of questions, so I summed them up to put on screen.
14:49 Chat: That sounds sus...
14:58 Kson: I was also doubtful at first.
15:08 Kson: So, yes, I am an independent VTuber.
15:20 Kson: VShojo is all independents. We're more like family, just holding hands together.
15:39 Kson: Though this style might be quite unfamiliar for Japanese viewers.
15:49 Kson: So yep, we wipe out own asses.
15:55 Kson: We do whatever we want.
16:04 Kson: And we have our individual dreams.
16:10 Kson: We're all aiming for our own goals.
16:21 Kson: Of course, we're going generally the same direction, but we're all forging our own ways.
16:32 Kson: So, I wanted to clarify that from the get-go.
16:39 Question: Were you scouted?
16:41 Answer: No.
16:49 Kson: It's kinda hard to answer this.
16:54 Kson: I didn't take an audition either.
17:00 Kson: Nazuna-chan is also an independent, yes.
17:08 Kson: No, I was not scouted or headhunted.
17:19 Kson: Oh right, please do NOT clip this stream.
17:35 Kson: I'm setting that as a ground rule in case there are people who clip things out of context.
17:48 Kson: My streams are usually clippable, but not this one specifically.
17:51 Kson: I should put that on stream.
17:58 Text: Please do not clip this stream.
18:18 Kson: So, yep, I wasn't scouted.
18:26 Kson: How this talk came to me is a long story.
18:33 Kson: I was just doing my own thing, right?
18:52 Kson: And you saw a bit from my 3D debut the other day that I've been working on a lot of things behind the scenes.
18:58 Kson: I was looking for a venue for something.
19:02 Kson: And needed a system for it.
19:10 Kson: And the owner was someone from VShojo.
19:20 Kson: Oh wait, let me write this too.
19:28 Text: Opinions are my own.
19:33 Kson: That's important too.
19:49 Kson: So I was like, "Oh, you're from VShojo? Okay. Please take care of me."
20:04 Kson: I have stuff being released at Comiket, have my pop-up store, etc.
20:07 Kson: I have lots of stuff.
20:19 Kson: And I needed something that just happened to be involved with someone from VShojo.
20:39 Kson: During the process, my manager also exchanged business cards with them.
20:50 Kson: The other side said, "Oh wow, I'm so impressed with everything you're doing."
20:58 Kson: And I was like, "Hey, thanks."
21:12 Kson: So yep, I got in contact completely by coincidence.
21:19 Kson: I thought, "Wow, such a small world."
21:45 Kson: They shared what they thought about VTubers, and I realized it was really in line with my own thoughts.
21:49 Kson: And things took off from there.
21:54 Kson: So, it's not that I was scouted.
22:07 Kson: And neither did I knock on their door and go, "Let me join you!"
22:17 Kson: It's more like, I was doing my own thing, and our paths crossed.
22:20 Chat: Everything's so vague.
22:34 Kson: I can't help it, right? Going into any more detail would touch on personal information.
22:39 Kson: This is the most I can share.
23:00 Kson: This time, I'm doing my pop-up store in Akihabara MOGRA.
23:08 Kson: I found it after working around a lot of places in Akiba.
23:15 Kson: Correction: Not me. Mane-chan did.
23:19 Kson: Okay, next!
23:32 Question: When did you decide to join VShojo?
23:35 Answer: March 2022
23:52 Kson: I checked my logs in Discord to find this answer.
24:12 Kson: So yeah, it's not like this was decided all that long ago.
24:46 Kson: The VShojo staff was like, "We aren't very familiar with the VTuber culture in Japan. Please tell us."
24:48 Kson: And I obliged.
24:55 Kson: Yes, March 2022 is when this all started.
25:10 Kson: Quite sudden.
25:30 Kson: Was a very unexpected connection.
