Ayame participation fee.

>>16292146
They must be paying Nintendo for permission. Either that or they're paying the participants.

>>16292146
wait was there prize money?

>>16292146
Firstly, can we reverify this is an accurate translation? But the simplest answer for why it could cost thousands would be Towa needed to pay the staff at Cover to work on the tournament instead of their usual duties. Cover makes the talent pay for a lot of things out of their own pockets.

>>16292146
>>16292187
I wonder how much Niji paid for their Mario Kart tournament. They have way more people in theirs.

>>16292212
Nope, there were no discussion on /#/ about any prize pool.

>>16292146
How much did it cost miko and korone to do that 24 hour stream?

>>16292146
That was a mistranslation. She didn't mention several million yen, only that she paid the commissions of the art out of her own pocket.

>>16292222

>>16292222
Work on exactly what?

>>16292237
She did, she said ワン百万(円)

>>16292283
er, ウン百万*

>>16292248
It's a mistranslation. She had 3D live and original songs. She was listing off Mario Kart as part of the things she had to spend money which was about 20-30kUSD in total

>>16292248
my man iroha translations coming in clutch

>>16292212
No. Twapper paid thousands of dollars for promotional art.

>>16292248
She says とか when talking about mario kart and other things before she mentions the price, meaning the she's just talking about the price of everything she's done in general lately.
EOPs are fucking retarded and I hate that I took the time to actually listen to this.

>>16292340
Iroha Translations is Japanese

>>16292222
Wow Cover not only is cover worthless, they literally bleed their own employees for cash.

>>16292359
I didn't say he wasn't you niggerfaggot. I'm talking about OP and the retards pushing the clip.
And him being Japanese doesn't mean the English translation is 100% accurate either.

>>16292248
>iroha
Fucker can't even speak English right. Don't fucking hide behind your "sorry I'm still learning English" and push out shitty translation without even proofreading them.

>>16292359
Do you know how many time Iroha fucked up?

>>16292359
That doesn't mean he's good at English and neither is OP.

>>16292146
don't they all usually get some insane promo art? I remember the sports festival they all had high quality break reels with art and stuff.

>>16292451
Iroha is Japanese and deserves admiration and respect by that fact alone.

fucking how?

I would think all that commissioned art would add up to at least $5,000 if they have to do all the people who would be involved in the tournie and be high quality enough that they'd be able to use them in their practice streams.

>>16292506
He needs to get better at English.

>>16292326
3d and original song cost millions, unless they can do most of the hardwork like Mori

>>16292359
That doesn't mean you are adept at English or that you are immune to being a clipper intentionally doing misleading translations so your content looks more hype.

>>16292506
Iroha from holox?

>>16292146
Towa is really based huh.
Spending that much money out of her pockets just for our entertainment, earning little in return.
Literally no other Holo would do this

Imagine going to all that effort and spending so much only for the lazy fuck ENs to not even stream their perspective in the FINALS.

I imagine paying for all the idols time when they could make more money doing something else, or something retarded like that
The "Cost" is just potential profits they didn't make by moving idols schedules around

>>16292380
Well without the Hololive brand most of these girls would still be struggling 2views. You take the good with the bad anon.

That amount is not just for Mario Kart but also for her 3D live and original songs.

>>16292594
Marine spent 90million yen on hers, I think. Is it pure vanity or do they ever make this back, be it from sales or exposure.

>>16292646
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ENAtlfxZSA

Miko spent a shit ton of her own money for the entire 24 hour stream, including all the guests appearance.

>>16292146
Art, schedules, some production staff, and a lot of paper shuffling to YT/Nintendo (tournaments are a separate set of permissions).

>>16292678
>brand only exists because of people like Mr. Koro and fubucking
>"yes, but, hololive deserves this cut of the money"

>>16292380
Honestly being "fair", jobs are like this in general where you need some airtight jew contract wizardry in writing or else they'll be like "oh yeah we'll pay you X" and then they tell you it's actually Y because you didn't get it in writing. Oh what's that you need to get laptops for people to use or some shit for this big project? Well you're gonna have to buy that shit yourself home dawg but don't worry if you file with HR then in 12 months they *might* reimburse you.

>>16292628
She deserves admiration, respect, and my dick for being Japanese.

>>16293158
It’s true though, regardless of why the brand got big Towa would still be an OL doing utaite shit on the side without the Hololive branding.

>>16292730
i was saddened that she paid for some but i guess normie baseball players wouldnt watch vtubers

>>16292146
This is just a cover so they can write off that amount for taxes.

>>16293158
From management point of view I wonder what's the best way to tackle this? Obviously you can't expect the company to shell out money for every talents' pet projects. But it's also pretty jewish to have the talents to pay for everything and Cover taking a cut of profit for the "brand". I think the most realistic option is the talents pitch their projects to Cover, if the idea is good to go then both parties put in their money and split the profits accordingly.

>>16293158
Still, it is funny to think that there were probably applicants who walked away from the job because of the 'loose terms' back when Cover was tiny and are kicking themselves over it

>>16293421
There’s also at least one dumb whore who is probably kicking herself thinking fucking that guy would have been worth it in the long run.

>>16293421
Just the roll of the dices. If Marine and Pekora didn't fail their Niji audtion maybe Hololive would still be second-rate compare to Nijisanji.

>>16293384
With Japanese bureaucracy and autism this IS the best way. The "pitch idea to Cover and if good" thing is how you get things like Aqua having to wait months for a project to clear. From a company man's perspective they're already operating at lightning speed because in entertainment where shit can randomly take off or not its imperative to cover your ass so people can't go "why didn't you do this or that, you were in charge". It's not important whether a project succeeds or fails, what's important is if it does fail, it wasn't your fault.

>>16293573
I hate japanese business so much. It's all hypocrisy and a giant game of play-pretend just like their whole saving face culture bullshit. Ass backwards country in so many aspects.

>>16294225
It's cute you think any western country is any different.

>>16294266
Depends on the workplace but at least it's not culturally enforced. You can't tell a japanese person to learn from his mistakes when they're supposed to be flawless and without error right from the start.

>>16293158
Nose...

>>16292222
That doesn't make any sense
It's not how a corporation work, employee cant be paid to do something else.
Assuming towa file a proposal to cover to held an event, she wouldn't have to paid for anything like that.
Did you actually have any proof of something like that happening ?

>>16292146
its jork, retard

>>16294982
Read the thread before replying anon

>>16292187
>>16292224
right, totally forgot tournament fees are a thing.
probably not much, few grand to make sure who ever is doing it is serious about it

>>16292172
fpbp.

>>16292146
collab fees

now imagine how much money niji lost on their stupid big tournament

So what the fuck does Cover, its managers, and its staff do? The more I learn about Cover and Hololive it seems like the Holomems end up paying for a lot of stuff themselves like songs, making their own thumbnails, commissioning art, and setting up events like MK tourneys, wtf does the actual managers and workers of Cover do?

>>16292146
Because she wasn't smart enough to get a sponsor

>>16299258
JP has tons of business with from indie video game devs to big corps, and it also does official streams. dont tell me you dont know that.

the thumbnail, art, pv, mv thing is the same as niji and any other jp indies. they make it and pay for it themselves except for official ones.

ITS TO PAY FOR PERMISSIONS YOU DUMB SACKS OF CRAP HOLY SHIT

>>16292146
- Promotional Art
- Nintendo Tax

>>16292711
That’s roughly $780k USD. Are you sure about that?

Astel spent a similar amount for his 3D Live and we got pure kino
Why do the Hologirls spend more on their projects yet not give us any quality for that money?

>>16292172
Touche

>>16301794
Because females suck ass at everything they do

>>16301693
yes, he's 100% sure that it comes straight from his ass

>>16292172
Shouldn't have invited Korean dogs, probably doubled the fee

>>16292663
So...it's a Collab fee

>>16299258
fuck off

>>16301693
> $780k usd on a song
how

>>16309639
The "how" is simple: it is incorrect.

>>16292187
Japan has weird rules about video game tournaments and money.

maybe they should hold a tournament over which one can suck my dick the best.

>maybe Hololive would still be second-rate compare to Nijisanji.
They are 2nd rate to Niji tho.

>>16292146
Cover collab fees

>>16292146
It doesn't. She's talking about the whole of December's activities, which include making an original song and mv. *That* breaks the 10k usd mark almost as a matter of course.

>>16292146
Okay, an entire month's worth of activities would cost $20k, but why do these girls pay for it themselves? Cover already takes a cut from their revenue, they've got producers and managers on payroll, and yet their "idols" organize a bunch of shit on their own?

>>16322295
Cover's cut goes to the company costs, which includes all of the staff, building, space and tech they use, as well as anything they make for them on their own (usually the group 3d events).

They also get part of that cut back as a salary.

Money laundering scheme.

>>16292146
It probably costed way more than that
She commissioned icons for every participants. That's 44 icons across 7 differents artist.

Then there was a PV.
Everything up to this point came out of her own pocket.

But if we take into account tournament logo, background, Cover's employee salary for the day...etc, it'd be more than 20k

>>16309639
they don't write their songs nor mix their own music nor make their own MVs

>>16292172

>>16309639
The cost might be exaggerated, but its not far from being actually really expensive. Original songs costs a ton. Composers, Equipment, Writing, Instrument, Visual effects, and all the Artwork being used. not to mention how all the work are spread out in weeks or even months. Look at Watame's latest original song, "My song" has probably been in the works for more than 4 months. compare it to towa's Brilliant cover or matsuri's Chichin Pui Pui cover which doesnt cost as much.

>>16292146
Hololive talents are independent contractors. All Cover asks them to do is stream, collab, and honor cover events if they are asked to participate. There are probably other underlying things but fir the most part that is it. Covers, events held by talents, 3D lives done by talents and all of the promotional material and merch is covered by the talents. Cover takes a cut of the Superchats as a fee for using Covers characters, models, and name.

This is all agreed upon before hand when contracts are signed. Although this model is working right now It sets up for a dangerous situation for Cover where they are forced to keep bringing in new talents who are willing to sign less then favorable deals with Cover vs the veteran talents who have far more power in negotiations and as Delutaya and Kson have proved just being a former Holo is enough to make you money now say a Rushia or Lamy walked two chuubas who I could see easily carrying their successes to the indies (this is hypothetical I am not saying they are going anywhere they love Hololive). Heck if Mel were to leave her roommate channel would blow up over night.

I am interested to see how this all works out down the road.

>>16350371

It’s not about how much money, it’s about where the money went to

Alright I hate towa's voice but I'll listen. Suprisingly, the translation is correct despite how horrible his english is.

>>16292326
>>16292340
No, she said she spend a lot of money in november and december. とか in here means making the mario kart gpas example, not etc. So she says for example the mariokart alone cost 3 digits (as in from man yen, which is 10k) so the cost is hundreds of 10ks, so its around from 1 to 9 million.
Which mean she is implying around november to december, the mario kart is not the only thing she is paying. So there is even more things she is arranging or preparing. Good for you towafags, you can expect things.
