The hell?

Kapus... I'm sorry to hear the news.
But at least she has a known possible (?) future, not gone forever, or a mystery like other recent terminations and graduations.

>>66824623
Can be anything from her seriously fucking up or company using something small as a reason to get rid of her (if there were previously reasons that made them want to stop working with her, but not legitimate enough for termination)

But stay strong guys, tribalists are pretty viscious.

Just dropping by to offer my condolences, Mel-bros. Your oshi may have been a bat, but she acted like a rat. She was a real one though so R.I.P.

F, condolences for your loss. It's been a rough several weeks for vtuber fans and the world in general, I think this year is cursed...

1st gen stream on fubu channel in 10

MelChoco is one of the things that got me into Holo. Didn’t watch them much outside of clips, but damn, what an iconic duo.
I’m so sorry for your loss, sincerely.

this shit is a tragedy in a way. im pretty sure homocollabing caused this shit. idk how many mel fans on this board were watching her streams after she suddenly stated that shes gonna homocollab, i unsubbed to her then, but it was obvious that things werent gonna go well with her. she was too kind to everyone but at the same time she was so ill-informed she can easily be an easy target and be tricked.

Sorry this happened kapubros. Meru is a sweet girl and not menhera like Mikecat so I don't know what could have happened. Would have loved to see some MeLuna this year.

>t. Lunaito

>>66828735
lol

I’m genuinely crying right now. I love Mel so much. I don’t know how to feel. What did she do? How could she betray her Kapumin? I hope there’s an explanation for all of this.

>>66829042
just being dumb which caused her to be terminated

My condolences Kapumins, she was a silly and clumsy chuuba and ive enjoyed watching her for years. its a terrible way to start the year...

i cant see mel doing anything with malicious intent

>>66828368 (me)
start

As a Haaton, I always wanted Gen 1 to be together and Holo blondes as a whole. I'm so sorry

>>66829042
well her roommate will make a new move obviously since in a sense "she" is more popular than mel. many vt rrat posters already sense that kson will have to emerge ofc

I’m really going to miss her. If it really is for a mistake she made without any malicious intent then… I’m mad at Cover. Mel is such a sweet girl who’s worked so hard for these past 6 years. I know it’s what they probably had to do but why? Why did it have to turn out like this? I’m going to miss how happy I felt everytime she read my chats or read my supers. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel that way again. I’m going to miss you so much, Meru. I wish it didn’t have to end like this.

There are rrats being made that it was that collab with Kotoka where the nda breaking happened. Regardless, I'm sorry this happened.

>>66817327
I'll never understand why AI is so good at face but so bad at hands

Yous always had a comfy thread, sorry this happened friends. Hope yous are ok.

>>66829538
She replies to my chat my tweets n my supas. There's no one else in holos that give a shit about her fans individually like she does.

sorry bros

It comes as a genuine shock to me that this has to happen to you guys. Mel always seemed to be comfy and yab-free.
My condolences kapus

>t. a dragoon

>>66829528
"Mel" already is already management company that handles all her stuff so I doubt she'll go "there".

Melbros, I'm so sorry.
I really liked when she called my oshi Inasuke.

Festival...

well shit

>>66829538
everyone knows she cant be malicious. the simple fact is that she was tricked by someone, ofc some fucking homo or dumb male streamer. i know youd hate a controversy type arguemet like that but im sure some homo/male streamer caused it. she was just tricked.

>>66830218
That’s true… she’s so sweet and naive. I wonder if it was possibly because of Kotoka as well.

These things always feel disproportionate.
Maybe they aren't, especially if you compare it to "any other job"; but the issue is these talents are not expendable like regular workers are. This is crushing to many.

I will do a fap in honor of your oshi Melbros

Male collabs did this.

I'm really sorry, dudes. You take care of yourselves, OK? Let us know if we can help. /vt/ is a community.

How weird is it that I've known five different chuubas called Mel or Meru... one terminated, one graduated, one the new identity of someone who left an exploded company, one menhera who went through countless other identities, and one who does straight up porn in character?

Take care please Kapumin. I cant imagine what you must be feeling since she has been around since long before the Vtuber crazy caught on in the west. It hurts to lose anyone at all and I wish I could say something to make it hurt less. All I got is playing her in Holocure....dang it

Ouch. Man.

I know this is how things often work in a business but that the situation seems to be "this was clearly a mistake but we have to fire you" in this business just seems insane, it's not like she's just some replaceable cog filling spreadsheets or whatever. I really hope it isn't just some "the rules must be respected" bullshit.

How much stuff is unsalvagable because of the 2020 Holo-caust as well?

>>66835488
What the heck did she leak? Was it as bad as >>66835194 or even financial data or something? The fact that we will likely never know is even worse. And if she did it by accident or was tricked…

Doesn’t feel like Cover would do something like this lightly, but axing a solid 5 year talent must have had some really compelling reason. And if it was unintentional, can they possibly rehire her later with a new identity and gen?

I'm sorry for your lose Kapumin...

Fubuki always said ikkisei was her treasure, and I enjoyed the off collab they had the other day

lol
cmon anon, you're gonna OD on that copium

>>66835919
>can they possibly rehire her later with a new identity and gen?
Absolutely not. The talent is the one getting terminated, not the character. The reason Cover is firing her is because there's not enough trust between them to continue a working relationship

Why the hell did they go straight to termination? What kind of information is so sensitive that they skip straight to termination instead of reprimanding her and educating the talents how to not do it again?

How does this make any sense?

>>66835907
Quite a bit I think? Cover and the girls were working to restore stuff pretty hard until 2022, I don't think much stuff has been back since then

Mel should sue cover again and win again. She did it once, she can do it again.

>>66835010
it's not uncommon for jap companies to fire someone even if it gives the company a bad PR hit. Kadokawa got under fire for firing Tatsuki and as a result it killed their potential cash cow franchise. hell even Cover isn't stranger to this with the whole Rushia thing! one thing consistent is that contracts are absolute and no one's above it, even if it kills them both as a consequence.

>>66836395
who knows what was going on in the background

I'm so fucking pissed right now, I swear if it weren't for Mel (blanco) i'd go full Kyoani on cover HQ.
She's one of the nicest, sweetest JP members there's no way there was malicious intent, but they gotta do it anyway, FUCK ! they're not even going to tell us what

YOU BASTARDS ! YOU OWE HER, YOU FUCKERS ALMSOT LET HER GET LITERALLY RAPED BY YOUR OWN FUCKING MANAGEMENT YOU INCOMPETANT FUCKS ! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS SHIT TO HER AFTER THAT !

>>66835919
Yeah, the only realistic way I can see them justifying firing a loyal talent of 5 years over something she did on accident is if she leaked something seriously bad. If it was just a trivial leak she could just apologize, do penance and move on, there would be absolutely no need to fire her over one mistake because they've got five years of trust built up with her. I'm sure we'll find out whatever it is eventually, since the fact it was leaked means that it's going to be out there soon.

>>66836660
what the fuck is even in the category of "seriously bad"??

How did Mel even have access to anything so bad that would warrant an immediate termination rather than just a suspension or something.

>>66836660
It might be more of a legal matter. Unfortunately NDAs are a pretty big deal and you cant just ignore it if someone breaks it. I often wonder if a lot of the stress Holos deal with all the time is that one slip up related to certain things even by accident could bring any of them to a sudden firey end

My condolences boys. She was a good one

>>66836660

she leaked yagoos dikpix he send her in confidence for her pleasure

>>66836637
If you feel that strongly, it is about time to get out of the hobby.
>t. anon who also lost his oshi

>>66836395
other holomems private or confidential stuff or some shit that affects their business partners.

>>66836833
Did these retards not train everyone on day 1? Hell, did they not gather everyone and have a massive meeting after they canned Rushit ? It shouldn't be hard to inform the girls on what they can and can't talk about on/offline. I know Mel is a bit of an idiot but I refuse to believe she willingly leaked something so severe without knowing how bad it is to leak it.

>>66836941
>Lemme in im a fairy
>Dont'cha believe in faeries?

at some point the pain from losing an oishi gets dull, it can only happen so many times before you get used to it

>>66837069
Jeez, anon. I hope your next oshi isn't mine.

>>66836753
While she probably doesn't know a huge amount about upcoming plans she'll at least know details related to her parts in things. We know that the talents record things WAY in advance for shit like voice packs, and 5th Fes is in 2 months so plans are well underway for that. If she was involved with other projects that haven't been announced leaking info on them could be seriously damaging, at least in the company's eyes.

Being a corpo has a lot of advantages but it also means being kept on a short leash, and even accidentally/unintentionally breaking the rules results in harsh consequences. I wish it could have been a slap on the wrist thing, but we don't know the details.

>>66837000
We will never know but its not outside of the realm of possibility. Take some consolation that she isnt getting Rusiha'ed and that everyone in the company is as sad to see her go as all of us are

>>66836953
I mean it's still an okay time killer watching these talents I'm just so frustrated how Japan does this shit, like I said Mel has a rm account so no big deal she won't have to deal with retarded management there, I just hope it doesn't hurt Ayamy or Choco too much. Honestly Mel and Choco should just go to VSJ at this point.

>>66836637
That's something that really gets my goat. The Cover employees completely bungled the stalker situation in every conceivable way and no one was fired, but Mel makes one tiny mistake and they don't extend her the same courtesy. People in charge of corporations are allowed to get away with too much.

She was the first vtuber that I feel like I want to support... I listened to her Viva Happy cover so many times... I love how she says かぷ... Her smile makes me smile... I haven't been following her much lately but I still love her...
I'm going to miss you, Yozora Mel.

I've been a kapumin for a little over 3 years. A member for 2yrs, 11 months and 4 days.
I just woke up to this. I hate this guys. I hate it.
Thing is, I'd had a feeling something was going to happen for a while. I thought it felt somehow like she was going to leave, but it'd at least be closer to the end of the year. That last stream clinched it. Just gave me an ominous feeling like she knew her time was numbered. This termination blindsided me though.
I'm going to holofes in March, but the girl I went to see perform will not be on stage.
I really really hate this.
Why?

>>66837069
Losing an oishi is delicious

my condolences melbros, hope you can find some comfort if she comes back in a different form

I'm just here to pay respects
Stay strong kapumin

She'll never get her dream of a sololive. Oh Meru. Why did it have to be this way?wtf did you do you fool?

>>66837558
She already has a different form, she had it before Holo

All her performances will be gone.
All her songs can never be played again.
I wish there was an exemption for music.
Years of work down the drain.
This termination hurts.

>>66835919
>>66836395
>>66836660
It's not what she leaked it's how many times she did it. Cover's statement implies that they warned her multiple times.
>As a result, we have determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her
They way Gen 1, Yagoo and A-chan talk about it shows that it was an accident and they don't hold any grudges against her. Mel also takes responsibility in the statement she put out.

:( wishing you all the best kapumin

Kapburos I'm sorry for your loss.
You had a real sweet angel of an oshi.

Had a good fap to Mel a few minutes ago.

A robosa here to offer my condolences to Mel. She is well liked and have nice tits

>>66837953
What were your favorite songs of hers?

>>66837981
So they warned her and she kept doing it? Did she think they weren't serious or something?

>>66837522
>1st gen offcollab
>holomem relationship stream
the timing is incredible
she has a well-established rm so no fear on that front but she was one of the best performers in holo, one of the few whose 3dlives I always watched
unfortunate to say the least

>>66838122
Anon, Mel... isn't the brightest Holo; she made up for it in radiance.

>>66837981
I dunno man it's pretty unclear.

This really sucks. I hate only started to watch Mek recently and give her a previous chance. Her newfound Momosuzu sisters trio make laugh and smile so much.

>>66838066

Mels forte was entertaining people with her body rather than her mind. Thanks for spilling one out for her, Anon. She would have liked that.

Fuck, and I was counting on her turn for the next shuffle medley, I don't know what to say

don't know what you got (till it's gone)

>>66838217
Well since she's already broken NDA it's not like she has anything to lose by doing it again. She'll probably explain what she did later.

>>66838250
I didn't know she had a fantastic Kapumin artist. Lost a real one today

>>66837522
What are you going to do? I've been reading what the JP kapumin are saying n they aren't taking the news really well.

>>66838399
Oh dear, is it bad?

>>66838378
I've spilled the most on Choco and Mel and this is the best one

Dude probably is larping, but for me it's either Viva happy or L.T.M

>>66838122
Maybe not all the time but it happened too many times and this last time was something they had to take action against.

kobokers here.
I don't know much about Mel except that she's a sweet girl and sometimes lewd, but my daughter Kobo already treated Mel like her own big sister. She is one of the few Holo JPs that is close to Kobo, besides Chama and Marine.
I can't help but feel sad and desperate, and it looks like the kid does not take it well.

https://twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1747182065978933653

I'm sorry for your loss.
Stay strong, Kapumin.

>>66838523
They are summarizing their thoughts and giving thanks to her. I'll probably do it too.

>>66838214
>>66838638
It's just that I can only imagine this being bad enough to warrant firing one of their oldest talents if she was a constant liability and it hurt them less to fire her than to keep her.
I apologize for this example, but Tom Holland was famous for constantly accidentally leaking shit with the Marvel movies and saying shit he wasn't supposed to say in interviews, and obviously they couldn't fire him but it got so bad that they would have him film a scene, and they wouldn't actually tell him who he was fighting in that scene so he wouldn't be able to leak it. So bringing that back to Hololive, maybe it's information they wouldn't be able to withhold from Mel and have her remain a member, so the only option was termination.

They will all leave one day, but Meru at least deserves a farewell stream

I feel empty inside. I didn't want to lose her like this. I didn't want to lose her at all.
I'm going to miss her.

im just woke up and confused as hell wtf? my brat
cant eat cuz of thishttps://twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1747182065978933653
mel is one of oldest cover talent how the fuck did they terminated her contract like that is the info she leaked that bad? mel is good girl i don't believe she leaked those info with malicious intent, someone must fucking tricked her, i don't believe this

This is a bad thought to have but Ill say it. I don't like that Mel was irresponsible to her fans to the point where she was terminated. I love her so much I'm just going through all sorts of emotions right now.

>>66838896
They probably changed their rules regarding leaks after the Rushia incident.

>not even a fucking goodbye stream, everything gone just like that
Fucking hell at least leave something, her lives at least

>>66833287
there's an archive general, you might start there

>>66839218

Meru was cute and I'm sad that she won't be able to be cute as meru.

>>66839549
I'm invested emotionally in her rm too so all I can do is wait for her. She cancelled her nnd plans this month understandably. But theres a fanbox stream this week I wonder if that is still going to happen. I just want to hear her voice. I just feel awful.

>>66839577
>>66839768
>>66839870
Choco is a workaholic. She did tweet that she was upset and pushed this stream up a few hours, but at the end of the day she can still pull herself together and stream like a professional.
The Japanese are exceptional at doing this, you should know this by now. Don't blame the individuals, blame the whole culture. Just look at how Fubuki took the Rushia situation in the immediate aftermath stream of her termination. She almost looked happy.
And besides, Mel wouldn't want you to blame Choco, her best friend in Hololive, for not acting sad on stream over her.

>>66839577
CHOCO WHAT THE FUCK

they're friends irl and collab on rms already

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Matsuri still needs to dye her hair blonde, at least in the OP if she wants to join this thread

>>66840047
Yes? She used to fall asleep in her minecraft streams that were 12+ hours while just farming endermen. She said on twitter that she felt compulsion to streaming even if she didn't have any plans on what to stream.

>>66839153
fuck I missed it, what did she say

Aki, Choco, Lui and Iroha sound sad.
>>66840047
She's mentioned that she writes a lot of the scripts for voice packs that Hololive sells and for other members as well.

>>66839964
That could stand to be a little louder.

>>66839964
LOUDER

>Haachama JUST came back from being sick for most of 2023

>>66839321
This already happened with Rushia's channel
The case is different but "we remove every video" rule still applies (and trust me, as dumb as that cutting board crashed everything I still enjoyed a bunch of her streams - I tend to look at person acting on-screen and IRL as two different people)
You have time until February to archive everything and hope that something like Ragtag Archive will upload some of her streams along with chat comments

>>66840226
I missed it also. We'll have to wait until the stream ends.

I except Choco to talk about it more in her member stream.

>>66840226

Mel is never going to be in a shuffle medley. No-one will sing one of her songs. She won't sing anyone's song. She will never wear someone's outfit. No-one will ever wear her outfit.

To any Kapumin that missed this, these were Mel's 400k subs milestone goods. T-shirt, keychain. The graphic was drawn by Mel herself.
There originally was a tote bag and sticker, but those went out of sale in 2021. I didn't order the t-shirt at the time because I thought it'd be stupid for me to wear around some cutesy stuff. Right now I don't really care and wish I'd bought it then. I've just ordered some, hopefully they don't cancel on me in light of what's happened.
Get them while you can folks, last chance.
Either booth via buyee, or booth to your dedicated reshipper postbox.

This is all messed up.
It hurts, senpai

>>66841068
genuinely the worst thing about the whole situation. I understand that contract breaching has consequences, but making your og talent a taboo topic and erasing her from existence for something everyone agrees wasn't done on purpose is insane

>>66841571
>but making your og talent a taboo topic and erasing her from existence for something everyone agrees wasn't done on purpose is insane
Will you idiots stfu

Like hell. I want that cap.

>>66841571
There are a lot of things about vtubing that are insane and we all just pretend it isn't.

>>66841654
the talents may mention their fallen comrade from time to time, but to Cover's eyes, they don't exist (Rushia's profile page on the main site leads to a 404)

IRyStocrat here coming to pay respects, stay strong.

My god, the sheer retardation in display in the sticky is immense. I'm thankful for stickies drawing all the retards into one thread so they don't come over here.

>>66841571
Marine said she was going to name one of her kids Rushia recently. They can still talk about them.

>>66841786
The whole catalog is overflowing with garbage. I hate all the assholes saying that she was boring and nobody really watched her. It pisses me off.

>>66841897
They just say that because of the male collabs. I didn't like it too but I still supported her as much as I could.

>>66841897
I hate that too, but that's the usual for graduations at least. What really bothers me is the people spreading false information about why she was terminated and blaming the "male collabs" as if that was the actual reason for termination.

>>66841654
Not that anon, but from what I can remember only 3/4 Sankisei members and Fubuki ever acknowledged Rushia's existence ever again aside from the initial "comment about Rushia's termination" (for example, I do remember Mori's comment and I do remember Kiara breaking down in tears while visiting a doctor to fix her back, but comments like that were just after the termination)
You don't see holomems ever mentioning her in these recent relationship charts, and some holomems even add Coco to chart even though she's long gone and graduated
I can't say for sure if holomems are just recommended by management to not mention graduated / terminated members too much or it's just their personal preference to not mention them and move forward with life
>>66841897
Any fast board is shit, this shouldn't be surprise to you. Something like /v/ might have 1-3 decent threads up at best while the rest is absolute garbage while slow sideboard like /vm/ will actually have people with brains having a slow but reasonable discussions.

>>66842041
We don't even know why she was terminated. You'd think if she really leaked something it would have reached us. But no-one knows shit.

>>66841897
>>66841982
>She was tricked into revealing info for clout by guys in VCR
I hate it. /vt/ should be generals only with anti-generals like /#/ banned

>>66842157
Considering how bad /vg/ is, I don't think that is the solution to the problem. All the shitposters would just camp out in the generals instead of bouncing around the catalog and ignoring most of the generals.

Can anyone estimate how much HDD space would be needed to archive her channel? Any site that would show such a metric?
I was a お肉はむはむ so at the very least I'll try and get that member stuff if I can.

>>66842157
threads like # would be fine if they talked about numbers, meidos just need to ban the people breaking the rules and using the thread to spam and shitpost and slander

Damn, that really sucks. I don't even follow hololive anymore and I still feel like shit. Best of luck kapumin.

>>66842138
it makes sense they would want to quash the info and whoever the third party is/are probably don't want action from cover or bad publicity
personally i want to think it's something REALLY dumb like letting non holo staff handle her work phone

>>66841068
>No-one will sing one of her songs.
Gen 1 will sing one of her songs in the group anniversary they're planning.

>>66842421
they better

>>66842138
>>66842343
The issue I can already see coming is that due to the lack of information, false narratives are going to be passed around until they become accepted as the "truth", regardless of what actually happened. When Monoe was terminated a few years ago, the reasoning given was similarly vague. The catalog decided she was fired for smoking weed, spread it around, and still to this day, years later, whenever she is brought up you will see a few people claiming that's what happened. Even though the fact of the matter is we still don't know.

>>66842338
Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

It's a damn shame.

>>66842585
Depends on the jurisdiction anon, and the distinction is usually more subtle than that

>>66842337
When I archived rushia's channel when it was getting cleaned, it was like 2.7tb at 1080p. My guess would at least 4tb, but I don't watch her enough to know her stream frequency and length. Losing your oshi feels really bad, try amd have a good day kapumin.

Baker, remember to remove Mel from op in the nex thread, thanks
