/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Pippa grifting /pol/tard tourists was the best thing to happen for the company. Even funnier when you realize she's a BLM supporting tranny lover kek.

>>68597797
Anon this is too real don't let the poltards see you. Pippa is their jesus.

>>68597702
Retarded anons fell for her grift

>>68597702
Fishman actually having previous experience in how to operate a business.

>>68597885
Kekoslovakia

I only know Pippa and Tenma, and mostly because they're both the most unhinged vtubers in the industry, apparently.
Recommend me someone else.

>>68597702
They didn't at first, you have to remember that. Learning from the failures of others and the failures performed internally is what allowed Phase to flourish. Much like the ongoing Niji drama, the fishman saw improved moral and performances from his talent when he got management that can actually communicate with the girls. Early on he was too chink minded trying to mold them into things they are not. Imagine had Fishman attempted to do make Lia like Aia from Niji?

But it does not stop on just that note. Clipfags are a huge boost to exposure. NotTheo basically made Tenma consumable to the average normie, hence why so many flesh creators on Twitch like to collob with her. Pippa's "tangents" appeal to select demographics which make parts of the internet (including /vt/) seethe and thus she is elevated by that crowd. Pulling in Lumi, who had Twitch on lock was a masterstroke too for continued exposure. Phase is the alternative. If Holo is WWE and Niji is WCW, Phase is ECW. Vshojo is TNA, because it's where you go when you've been banished by either WWE or WCW to complain.

>>68597885
I still love her.

You win the award for biggest small brain, retard.

- Autistic as fuck CEO
- Hired actual counselors for managers
- Not afraid to let girls be autistic on stream

Hello phasejanny

They have a manager that knows how to handle menhera women

lol the pippa screenshot got wiped

>>68598176
Why did you say woman twice?

>>68597702
Kind of like Hololive, doing nothing while everyone else burns themselves alive.

buy an ad for your literal who agency or fuck off

>>68598249
Projection is a sin nijicuck

>>68597702
Basically this >>68598176
He hired a woman for head manager who knows how to deal with women. Talent having a menhera moment? Talk to Muumi. As much as I like to shit on Fishman, he knows that he can hire people to deal with things he can't at least.

>>68597885
Why was this deleted? She posted this on her vtuber persona.

>>68597702
Take pippa and maybe tenma away and it's literally just another 2-3view corpo

>>68598428
The grift wouldn't have worked without the pocket janny.

Vtubers are by nature all menhera to some degree. Hiring a therapist to deal with that aspect is something more corpos should do.

>>68597885
is that Kiki?

>>68597702
Fishman is a literal /vt/ autist who thought "yeah, having my own company full of cute anime girls sounds kinda nice", and then gone through with it.
He still ended up being one of the better vtuber corpo CEOs. You can take that as an inspiration, anon.

>>68597702
By being a genuine alternative Hololive. While other small corpos were looking to emulate what made Holo/Niji successful, Phase decided to occupy its own niche in the market that wasn’t already being filled.

Pagpag connect isn't an alternative to Hololive, they are more accurately viewed as an alternative to NijiEN like it was in its early days before homos (when some copers think it was good). The thing is their whores are still sucking dick and cucking their fans all the same though, so their rule about not hiring males is moot because they invite these pests to collab with.
Pippabrowns and their ally meidos are a huge filter too.

Honestly, the first boost from having edgy Pippa helped them with the attraction with the niche. From there they've been more or less been able to avoid absolute disasters for the company as a whole even if they weren't able to avoid every yab.
Then its just been good, steady increase in numbers due to hard work and effort. Just don't fuck up and the numbers rise organically.
Anyways, got into PC through Pippa, stayed because of my dorky cyber tiger.

>>68597702
"I'M GONNA FUCKING SHOOT UP A WALMART"
/thread

>>68597702
Phase connect has the same business practices as any jp vtubing company.
it's lit a company for eop weebs who aren't committed enough to jump to jp streams.
all phase viewers minus pippa and Lumi ones are also holoEN viewers. it's the same fanbase.

>>68597702
>fulfilled a niche Hololive and Niji weren't doing
>hired a female manager that knows how to deal with menhera

>FUCKING COFFEE MERCH
As much as the Phase girls love to shit on Fishman, he has a good business sense and he actually understands the market. And all of this started as a passion project because Tsunderia wouldn't let him invest in their company

>>68599458
Lol

>>68598011
Vshojo is far pickier and being in there is far more valuable than to be in Phase.

>>68599308
Nice bait

>>68597702
Luck. Everyone else just fucked up more.

>>68597702
They act like your regular trashy twitch streamers but behing an anime avatar. That is what attracts the normalfags. Current phase fanbase is full of trannies (Lia's fanbase is all troons and lefty mongoloids and Hime is not too far off).

>>68598011
>improved moral and performances from his talent
Nigga, you what? He keeps them perma depressed specifically so they won't leave for better pastures. You can see it with 2nd gen who just gave on trying to achieve anything and grinds.
I swear, phasefags are either delusional or just psychopathic. Probably both.

>>68601468
Not all of them but their flagships certainly do
>>68601685
I mean wonton girl (second gen) is doing very good and recently they gave her the crab outfit that she wanted

Tenma funny alcoholic sometimes very cute hag

>>68597702
>Fishman having business knowledge
>Luck
>Phase covering an unhinged / rockstar style niche
>Muumi saving the company early on

>>68601685
>has no idea what he is talking about but still talks like he knows Phase better than actual people who watch them
NTA, but how retarded are you

>>68598474
Nah, most of them are 4view most days, with Shiina, Lia, Panko, and a few gen 3 being more likely to.

>>68597702
Hired female managers as well as a woman to literally be a friend for the talents to keep their menhera in check.

>>68601685
Shiina and Panko are both from the 2nd gen and they're doing great.

>>68597797
proof on the trannyshit, that's Rie afaik

One thing that's not brought up enough is Phase is the only company that caters to the euro timeslot.

>>68602601
Holo should start doing that too.

>>68598893
It more along the lines of:
>I'm gonna make my own Tsunderia, with blackjack and hookers!

>>68598011
>NotTheo basically made Tenma consumable to the average normie
I'm not sure how to feel about this.

>>68597797
In addition to this pippa also took advantage of the growing amount of drama obsessed containment breakers and doxfags that have come with the likes of that parrot fag and DN, which she actually collabed with. She also does a lot of react content. Not a great fanbase overall

>thread on autosage
Holojannies

>>68603809
is it tho

Female managers for female talents (phycology degree highly recommended)
If your favorite corpo doesn't have female managers they're doomed to fail

>>68597702
Weaponized autism

When was the last time Pippa even said anything political though? I feel like it's one of those things that get endlessly repeated by threadwatchers, but have no relation to the actual streams.

>>68604923
Recently she did the "election season is starting and I'm already sick of it, from both sides, I don't wanna hear it" speech
Every now and then she brings up how much she hates California(she's from California)

>>68597702
>What did they do right?
Smart business decisions and it's an mentally insane, autistic as fuck company that attracts even more mentally insane, autistic as fuck audiences. Holo, Niji, and Vsho talent wishes they were as autistic overall as the girls in Phase. Plus Fishman hired actual people who have psychology degrees who can tardwrangle the talent with an iron grip.

>>68602595
pl

>>68605016
That sounds very apolitical to me.

>>68605089
Being apolitical is very political nowadays.

>>68601685

Good on Fishman for keeping favoritism in check

>>68605551
What are you on about?

>>68601886
She is younger than pippa

>>68599569
Vshojo is just the Ironmouse friends company at this point

>>68597702
Sakana knows what he's doing and listens to the girls needs and provides what they request from him happy employees make for prosperity in a company simple as that really it boils down to Sakana just being a good boss that takes pride in his role and what he started with phase connect

>>68605595
That we share a board and hobby with this >>68591849
>>68591890 kind of retards who then turn around and wanna crucify people for playing Hogwarts Legacy or making a few tepid edgy jokes two years ago

>>68605646
Ironmouse is friends with a shit ton of vtubers / streamers.

>>68597797
Shes also a furry so she cant really affort to hate on other groups of people since furrys and everything that comes after lgb are practically the worst kind of mentally ills.

I like Phase tho, and in my head, Pippa isnt a part of it.

>>68602739
>with league and hookers

>>68597702
He stepped in shit with his 1st generation
>Love her or hate her, he discovered a once in a generation personality in Pippa who became one of the most supa's streamers on YT
>Pippa recommended he hire Tenma
>Tenma turns out to be the backbone and conscious of the the company
>He discovered Lia who had 0 experience and he didn't give up on her after 1 year of struggles. She rewarded his faith with a playbutton and some of the highest profile collab platforms in Phase Connect's portfolio
>Uruka is as talented of a musical chuuba as there is, and she steps up and delivers the goods cons
>When they were gonna quit together unless he hired a manager, he listened and hired a manager.

If you look at the chain even further, you look at the nepotism tree it spawned
>Pippa was friends with Tenma and pushed for her to be hired
>Pippa and Lia were friends with Yuri and Lumi, and got them jobs
>Because Pippa and Lia got Lumi hired, Lumi exists in Phase and got Beryl and Jelly jobs
>Tenma, Lia, and Uruka knew Remi, and vouched for her
this is not even considering the Tsunderia nepotism

>>68597702
They hired Pippa. That's literally it.

These companies live and die on the backs of the talent driving viral marketing, and sometimes it's just one outstanding talent that raises the level of engagement for everyone else.

Hololive is so big because it has a BUNCH of those outstanding talents that all create a critical mass of virality when taken in combination. Gura was the eventual peak of this phenomenon but long before EN ever debuted they had Miko, Fubuki, Korone and others making huge viral splashes.

If there were a half dozen Pippa's in the same company they would skyrocket to success. It's all talent, baby. That's the entire industry. Get. The. Right. Girls. After that you just have to be mildly not-retarded about general business and management shit, and I really need to stress the mildly part, because Cover corp is not even particularly great at it, they just somehow sidestep the kind of yabs that keep burning everyone else down.

>>68606376
>If there were a half dozen Pippa's in the same company they would skyrocket to success
nah
The thing that makes Pippa (and Phase) strong is that their strongest girls are all different from each other. Pippa, Tenma, Lia, Shiina, Lumi, Muyu are all different.
Phase Connect is like the circus: there is an act for everyone.

>>68606546
you forgot kawaii

>>68606597
Clara has been gone from kawaii longer than she was there

Having Pippa leech off holo every chance she could. Can’t blame her it worked

>>68606597
Yeah they have a ton of variety in the insane asylum
After a while with Hololive you end up getting a blurry feeling they're all the same

>>68605016
You're literally just making things up.

>>68606597
He means half-a-dozen people who are good at noticing, and acting upon trends and getting good outcomes from them. Even predicting trends that don't exist yet. Most of your favorite streams you've watched and consider great are the result of some woman keeping up with trends and positioning herself to capitalize on one of them when it gets big.
We're talking about Pippa as a trend-noticer. Sure her niche is drama trends but there are other types of trends that other talents are better at noticing. Basically having an intutition for even 1 niche of trends makes you SSR rank

>>68606634
be that as it may, he has a former kawaii girl on roster. all he is missing is a prism and idol girl and he will have completed the set.

Pippa's ratio of subs to active CCV is insane. Compare how many views she gets to chuubas with similar sub counts

>>68606639
Another one of Mori's lapses in judgement

>>68598128
This is the actual unironic answer. Phase is a mental asylum for chuubas

>>68606634
Could say the same for Jelly and her ex-corp. Point being I just forgot about Kawaii and meant to include it but spend my brainpower trying to remember Amber Glow. It took me 10 minutes of deep thinking to remember them

>>68599458
>are also holoEN viewers
nah I just watch Jelly and Eimi, they’re the best

>>68606639
Excuse me. But streaming holocure every single day for 2 weeks every time there is a new update is hard work. And the shorts grind is brutal. All the small corpo girls try to leach off holo with clickbait. Pippa and Rin and Yuko from Idol are some of the few who are actually good at it.

>>68597797

>>68606249

>>68606714
https://youtu.be/VANfTz0U9Lw?si=MKXQq8Qse5dKil4i

>>68606329
in hindsight, sakana not giving up on lia was a bold move.

the ashelia character was his baby. he hand designed it and determined the content for it. she comes to him after 6 months and says it isn't working and she needs to change or else she is quitting, and the madman put his pride aside and let her change and start over. not only did he kill his baby, he paid for a new model for her.

if she pulled that shit in 99% of other corpos, they would have just graduated her and cut loses. like you said, she made good and has done well as an ambassador for his company ever since. he listens to his talent when they speak.

>>68607054
I was more talking about her being from California.
She literally calls voting gay and has for two years.

>>68606249
>>68607027
This dumb motherfucker cant read.

>>68597885
>Kiki asks for advice
>Pippa says she could try this
>this is somehow bad
I didn't understand how this was damning 2 years ago and I still don't see it.

>>68599458
I haven’t watched anything Hololive related in years, basically moved on to indies and small corpos entirely because they started to bore me.

I never have and never will watch react chuubas

So how much does sakana pay to these jannies. You can easily see the blatant favoritism

>>68607330
Wasn’t Kiki already in that more edgy sphere anyways? I remember her being a lot more edgy than Pippa was based on my brief exposure to her.

>>68607436
Pippa gives milquetoast reactionary takes on everything

>>68606738
I think the last big trend that spearheaded them into the vtuber consciousness was the cannibal incest game and all the brother fucking talk. From Lia and Hime talking the most about it to even Jelly over reacting to the brother lip biting

>>68602442
No they aren’t, you don’t know what a 4view is. Most of them can’t break 1k without a raid.

>>68597702
They hired autistic girls and told them "b urself"

>>68606764
Im pretty sure fauna mentioned Pippa first.

How do you nepotism guys explain pippa failing to get sleepy and kirsche in phase?

>>68606329
What were the issues in the first year? What were they actually complaining about?

>>68597797
kek you really triggered the chuds here

>>68607436
Yeah, Kiki was going pretty hard in that direction at the time.
Pippa on the other hand is more of a personal freedom kinda bunny, which makes the one side seethe at her in general and the other side seethe once they realize that personal freedom also applies to things they don't like.

>>68607137
Uhh, have you met our friend year 1 chinkbait Nene?
Hell they delayed her 3d for like 6 months even.
Also less committed examples, but I'd also mention baelz and nui.

>>68597702
Appeal to the actual lowest common denominator of the Internet: reactionary terminally online culture warriors

>>68607408
Good thing Phase has like 25 other chuubas to watch that don’t really touch react shit.

>>68597702
>it's footing

>>68607752
NTA, but from a financial standpoint, 9/10 small corpos would have just graduated Lia because they wouldn't want to fit the bill for a new model. If a girl with no experience is contemplating retiring after 6 months, they'd just let her go cause what is to say you don't buy her another new model and then she leaves? It was a tremendous risk that most small corpos wouldn't take.

>>68607754
I bet Riku's wishing he sucked some internet warrior cocks right about now

>>68607054
Good clip. Also good that the period of her audio sounding like that is over now.

>>68607754
Like yourself

>>68607137
>he listens to his talent when they speak
Bold strategy, but it paid off

>>68607697
Fish was doing everything by himself and he was allegedly not very good at dealing with female emotions.
There were also some retarded rules like "no country names" which lead to awkward stuff like Pippa calling the German army Kekistan in a WW2 game.

>>68607697
Pippa boiled it down to gen 1 having a collective woman moment only for Sakana to facts and logic them into staying. Start 5:15
https://youtu.be/A2N5UxPf6o4

>>68607754
but enough about Nijisanji.

>one twitter interaction with Mori and a couple of holocure streams are all it takes
Leech-posters are a special breed.

>>68607436
Kiki was growing until Megbert aka the cunny clown put her hooks into her. She hasn't recovered since

Pippa collabing with dox and dramafags is quite cancerous by itself, but this I'll never forgive

>>68607956
the truth is phase couldn't afford to graduate lia.
context and timeline is key here. lia and pippa were the 2 bread winners of phase at this time (this was before pippa exploded, mind you). lia was a runt in ccv, but she punched well above her weight in supas always has.

if phase lost lia's money at that time, that would have likely affected funding gen2's rollout. sakana has said he hasn't put his own equity into phase beyond the initial start up costs. he is rich because he isn't dumb with his money this isn't some vanity project for him.

money was tight enough that i remember around this time lia was having a mental breakdown on stream, and akasupas were flowing. i remember $2k in 5 minutes and she kept saying "STOP" but the whales thought she was baiting, but she was breaking down and turned off supas and disable streamelements. apparently after that happened, she got absolutely screamed at and got the biggest ass chewing ever from sakana and muumi.

>>68597702
>it's
Embarrassing

>>68608573
>if phase lost lia's money at that time, that would have likely affected funding
Fish has enough money to buy a couple of models and ads for his passion project. You're talking nonsense.
>money was tight enough
Hallucinations.

>>68597702
Again, it’s the fact they have an all female management team that can handle the talents in all their various fragile states.
Next step for them is vocal coaches and maybe sketch content writers to spice this game playing up a bit.

Phase was just better, there's not much else to say. They do have their shitty things like any other vtuber group, but they've been the ones handling stuff the best for the past couple of years.
>>68608582
You forgot your smug Panko image.

>>68608573
>phase couldn't afford to graduate lia
>lia's money
Which is why they used all of that money to buy her a new custom model with good rigging?!
Phase didn't make back their investment on Lia's new model for a solid 6 months. Would've been cheaper to graduate. They kept her on to boost morale. Same reason they kept the gen 0 JPs Michiru, Nasa and Iori

>>68607717
I remember making one of those many years ago and it was very skewed to the right side and then made it again one or two years ago and it looked more “balanced”.
I guess some mental problems can indeed be cured.
I never went to therapy btw

>>68608668
>all female management team
Papagorira is a male manager. He manages Beryl I mean Clara. This is confirmed.

>>68608858
Papagorira is cool and made a very cute post about his kid

>>68608661
>Hallucinations
lol watch stream, retard.
Sakana has said Gen2 was up in the air at one point because he wasn't sure things were gonna work out. After Gen1, if Phase Connect wants something, it has to be self sufficient and pay for itself.
He could buy all the girls 3D tomorrow with new $10,000 computers if he wanted. He's not gonna. If they want that stuff, they have work towards and and help buy it themselves.
Poor people like you think rich investors just throw money away.

>>68597702
People like coffee

>>68608545
Tenma once showed off her subs and lo and behold, she was subbed to Vesper
That retard really did pull a fast one of tons of people
Does he still have a general /here/?

>>68608909
This but unironically. People probably underestimate how much they make with merch.

>>68608545
Pippa is actually a holoschizo btw

>>68597702
Lumi hard carried them

>>68608793
Phase was in the red for like a full 2 years after it started., fish was open about it and was fully aware that as a start-up he’d have to take some initial losses to get anywhere. Sakana is retarded at times but sometimes he surprises me.

>>68597702
>what did they do right?
They got he wonton girl and made her slave away for over one year making art for free to pay for her crimes to the medium before letting her out of the basement. Keeping the menheras together in a dark room for extended periods of time either tames them, or lets them weed out most of the bad ones before investing too much money on them

>>68608909
I think Phase coffee SUCKS.

>>68608898
I didn't know that being cool and posting about his kid turns a man into a woman

>>68608858
Yes for the JPs, now try to keep up with the context of the conversation which is talking mainly about the EN side of phase
>>68608793
There is no gen 0. Michiru, Nasa and Iori are all part of phase gen 1 which was a mix of EN and JP. They were just sidelined for being JP in a western company. But with the new JP branch I can see them being boosted a bit

>>68609107
Fish said Phase was in the black. this was 1 and 1/2 years after launch. Source: Sakana Urara collab (Dizzy's PL)

>>68608858
He stepped back from management mostly. He and B-Clara are old friends no doubt, and she’s a mature woman.

>>68609218
I feel bad that they didn't get success because of Phase being so western-oriented.
Especially for Nasa. She is such a sweet sweet girl.

>>68609118
I honestly think firing all males is a little schizo

>>68609109
>weed out most of the bad ones
Yuko couldn't handle the basement and left for idol. Now she hasn't streamed in a month and her fanbase is in civil war with her old fans.
Yuko was supposed to be Phase's Panko btw. They had to find a replacement last minute which explains why she was so wooden for the first two months before becoming the racist italian gremlin she is today.

>>68608377
>He just traps me in a car afterwards so he can vent about it
And you people say women cant be funny

That one girl who got fired
What happened there?

>>68609109
The talents get paid for any company art of work they do.

>>68609218
Michiru hasn't streamed in 3 weeks.
Fishman suspended her after she had a fight with one of the new JP girls.
Apparently Michiru was enraged that their chat was full of "EOPs"

>>68608793
iirc at around this time, supas looked like
>$30k - Pippa
>$25k - Lia
>$15k - Tenma
>$10k - Uruka

that is 36% all company supas gone if he let lia leave.
you're letting hindsight cloud the perspective because you have the knowledge of knowing pippa is gonna explode and be one of the highest supa'd streamers in the world
but at that time? sakana was not about to let lia and her money go especially if there was something he could do to fix it. so he killed his baby and let her rebrand.

>>68609355
Is this a rrat or is it actually confirmed?

>>68609390
No one knows and that's by design. Everyone that's talked about it said that Sakana tried to make it work out best for everyone.
I think she's happier now

>>68609436
Why would Michiru be angry that another girl's chat has EOP to the point of fighting her?

>>68609436
>>68609355
These are rrats

>>68609322
Tomer fucked half of idol. He was Aviel's number 2 and head manager. Fishman heard about this way before we did because insiders talk and these are gossipy women. He didn't want to take the chance so he fired Mins the Art Director, and Buu his number 2. He kept Intern-kun but has him chained to a desk in the warehouse.

>>68609276
People doom about the JP side of Phase but they do a lot better nowadays, it’s not that uncommon to see them at least in the 3view range, they used to be at like 40ccv. A lot of their audience are EOP’s but Phasefans saviorfag for them hard so they get a lot of raid and memberships support.

>>68597702
>hire girls
>sell coffee
its that easy

>>68609436
I know this is a joke but catalogniggers will take it seriously so I’ll fact check you.
Michiru streamed 10 days ago. She canceled streams this week because she caught a cold.

All we know is that it's something that'd anger people if they knew(this came from the talent's mouths) and that the solution they came to was the best for everyone. Most reliable rrat on the matter is that she had been getting cash from paypigs in secret to avoid giving Phase its cut. Also possibly ran away with donothon money.

>>68609567
JP is beyond oversaturated at this point. I have no idea why he thought it was a good idea. Funny ad though

>>68609656
Yuri did run away with the donothon money, she kept the new PC that she bought with it and Sakana had to refund people out of his own pocket.

>>68609276
Nasa was following Gura's streaming schedule for most of her career.

>>68609117
Pippa...

>>68609474
>>68609558
Pippa did a collab with Rye right after Rye announced her graduation date. During said collab, Pippa all-but-confirmed Rye would join Phase. She was Pippa's nepo-hire the same way Rie was Lia's and Remi was Lumi's.
When Rye left for Idol, Pippa lost her nepo hire ticket and had to wait until Gen3 to nepo hire superlesbian Hina who she offcollabed with a week after Hina's debut.
That's why none of the new invaders were related to Pippa, she wasted her nepo hire Yuko who bailed.

>>68609567
People just have 0 perspective for what things are like for the average vtuber because they only look at the top. I saw a Jap company that has been there for 3 years and most of the talents still barely reach 3 view most of the time and this is one that had enough presence to show up for me. I don't know what the future holds for them but the JPs are starting off with a lot more than nothing.

>>68609656
there is something else.
The fact that Yuri keeps yapping on twitter about "I finally have real vtuber friends that love me now!" tells me some shit happened involving Lia, Tenma, Uruka and Airi. That is a shot at them.
Lia, Airi, and Uruka were her best friends and Tenma was "her mentor (her words, not mine)"

Mind you, when Yuri was best friends with Lia, Airi, and Uruka, she said many times "they are my family and I love them! I finally have real friends! especially coming out of cyberlive where things were toxic" so idk maybe Yuri is just her own worst enemy that history keeps repeating itself for her.

How come vtuber companies never sell tshirts? It's merch 101

It'd sell much better than bespoke coffee or keychains

>>68609904
She wasn't invited to a lesbian sex orgy at Lia's house one time and she went ballistic. Many such cases. Now if someone can post the soundclip of Uruka giving a massage to Airi and making her cum from Lia's last twitter space it would be greatly appreciated.

>>68610013
You can buy Pippa at Hot Topic. This was an official collab.
https://www.hottopic.com/product/pipkin-pippa-bunny-boyfriend-fit-girls-t-shirt-by-animebae/31518165.html

>>68610013
You're in luck anon, Saya's birthday merch dropped yesterday and she has a shirt as part of it.

>>68610013
Shipping costs too high for something that cheap to produce. It'd end with a laughably high price tag for something you can order yourself locally for les than fifteen bucks.

>>68606597
>Muyu
Panko maybe, Muyu is just sex noises simulator.

>>68609615
Has anyone here actually tried the coffee? I was interested In giving it a try for a meme but it’s like $50 in shitty leaf currency.
>>68609894
I remember how proud I was when Phase started getting to 3view consistently, it seems small now but so many corpos never even make it that far. Some members of Prism or Kawaii don’t even make it and they’ve been around for ages.

>>68609852
>During said collab, Pippa all-but-confirmed Rye would join Phase.
I don't remember that.
>Rie was Lia's and Remi was Lumi's.
That also didn't happen.
>When Rye left for Idol, Pippa lost her nepo hire ticket
Lumi and Tenma? Also the concept of having tickets for that is also retarded.
>Hina offcollab
Pippa randomly asked if anybody was in the area and Hina responded. That wasn't some special connection either.

You are making all this up based on "hey, they collabed on time, must be a nepo hire", you fucking retard.

>>68610073
Pretty awful shirt tbqh
>>68610103
Probably true. Even the 90 dollar dakis are shit-tier polyester fabric.

>>68609904
the funny thing is IIRC when Yuri got fired, Lumi made comment saying
>Yuri was growing apart from Phase and started hanging out with a different crowd
not that Lumi and Yuri were ever that close they were just a forced on screen ship thru circumstance

>>68607563
Watch streams

>>68610171
>Rie and LIa
There is some smoke to this uniroincally. They let it slip during their IdentityV collab a few weeks ago that they have been playing the game together in the same community "since launch." They have been thick as thieves since day one.

>Lumi and Remi
this didn't happen you are correct The links to Remi are Tenma, Lia and Uruka. They collabed with her several times in her pl. Likely put in a good word for her.

>>68610171
>I don't remember that.
That's because you're an autist who can't understand obvious subtext or understand social cues. All of this was discussed by Pippa, Lia, and Lumi themselves. Watch streams.
>Lumi and Tenma?
Lumi used her nepo tickets on Remi and Jelly.
Tenma confirmed in her zatsu collab with Uruka that she was on her "second strike." Her words not mine. 3 strikes and you're fired. Tenma traded away her nepo tickets in exchange for erasing her past strikes.
>Pippa randomly asked if anybody was in the area and Hina responded.
DYRBI?
It's like 2 people collabing in minecraft and what a coincidence they bump into a third person who just happened to be there and joins them how spontaneous and authentic and totally not a work

>>68610433
lumi had nothing to do with remi.

>>68610195
I remember Lumi and Yuri ditching the ship the very day they got 3rd place a /here/ shipping poal losing to 2nd place Pippa and Tenma and 1st place Lia and Uruka.

>>68609894
Poor VerseN.
All that Sony backing and even a decent eigo speaker and nothing to show for it.

>>68610171
>Pippa randomly asked if anybody was in the area and Hina responded. That wasn't some special connection either.
If you know anything about Pippa you'd know there's NO WAY IN HELL she'd do a impromptu offcollab like that with barely a stranger/coworker. Hina might even be part of the reson she went to the Worst coast, helped her find a home there etc.

>>68610433
> 3 strikes and you're fired
lol yeah right imagine.
if Pippa and Lia have not been fired for the shit they have pulled over the last 3 years, it will never happen. Seems like the only way you get fired is if you get caught stealing.

>>68610090
The Saya shirt is so close to being awesome. Too bad it has that stupid fucking logo on the back.
I'm not a fan of Saya but if it was just the pocket dragon I'd buy the fuck out of that.

Although I'm sure it's shit-tier polyester fabric too so maybe not

>>68609894
Star Ring deserved to at least live man

>>68610492
I also think it was your 4chan poll and not the fact that they had a pretty sizable age gap and now more options within Phase than they had before.

What's up with Uruka's voice?
How can she sing so beautifully, yet sound like a huge dork when she speaks or laughs?

>>68610171
>the first person in Phase Pippa meets is some girl who literally debuted
>not Tenma, Lumi, Lia, Uruka, Airi, Dizzy, Sakana, Muumi
>but a girl who had debuted in the company 4 days prior who was in her first week
nothing sus at all bro

>>68610433
this isn't a game i'm sure they don't have a board listing all the girls scores, remaining strikes, nepo tickets, and whatnot.

>>68598002
Holy reddit

So according to anon, ember is dizzys nepocard and jelly is lumis?

>>68610568
There is indeed a strike system but Sakana is super lenient with it and the strikes don’t stick around forever. Also even if someone gets 3 strikes he wouldn’t just graduate/terminate them instantly.

>>68610365
>They let it slip during their IdentityV collab a few weeks ago that they have been playing the game together in the same community "since launch." They have been thick as thieves since day one.
Rie even confirmed that Lia got Fishman to put a question into the interview that only Rie herself would be able to answer correctly and it was some BS fanfic question.
>Wow what a coincidence we just met each other and we're already like sisters.
It's the illusion of authenticity. Gives the 1views with no connections a glimmer of hope.

>>68610568
she said she moved back to have more opportunities for offcollabs

>>68610671
Dizzy was Dizzy's nepocard she didn't even have to audtion.

Sakana doesn't need to be sold on Tsunderia girls he is well aware of them.

>>68598002
Pippa and Tenma aren't even the most unhinged vtubers in their company.

Hime is definitely more unhinged and Lia is more unhinged too.

>>68597702
Have Pippa.
Cause controversy.
Shit doesn't stick on her.
It's kind of amazing actually.

>>68610753
Lia, Pippa and Tenma have toned it down. and that is a good thing. Lia is so careful now.
I don't want to watch the girls self destruct. I want to watch them thrive.

>>68610671
Ember is ex-Tsuneria so it kinda makes sense that Dizzy would nepo her in, Tsunderia had a lot of really good talent anyway so I’m cool with it.

>>68610753
Unhinged doesn't mean great content. You have to be entertainingly unhinged. Pippa is genuinely that.

I dont watch Hime, Tenma, or Lia so this is just outside observation.

>>68610753
I'd say Dizzy plays up the unhinged angle while Hime is more unhinged by accident in the way of menhera. Lia is a 50/50 of work-to-shoot

>>68610705
Phase Connect is a private company so it's literally just Sakana making the calls I don't get why people try to assign rules to him doing whatever he wants

>>68610847
Hime is entertaining in a "watch a burning building" way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QXsU3awhI4

>>68609444
Fishman isn't some /vt/-autist who thought a vtubing agency is a get rich quick scheme that he started with barely enough money to fund the initial models.
Paying for a redebut for a unreliable menhera was not a financial decision.

No amount of made up numbers are going to change either of those things.

>>68597702
Fishman has a good eye for talents.
Pippa went viral, and Shiina, Panko, Lumi, and Eimi are so high quality that I can't believe they're holorejects. Panko might make sense because she barely spoke English when she joined phase and improved drastically over time (still insane to me, that girl is fucking smart), but the others?

>>68610477
They collabed 3 times. Twice as a duo and once in goosegooseduck

>>68610897
There's a sweet girl buried under all that. She seems to be going through some shit that I genuinely hope she pulls out of.

>>68610989
She's surprisingly good at singing, I'll give her that much.
We can save her, bro

>>68610665
The nepo tickets are more like votes.
The final applicants interact with the older girls in a test discord for a few weeks then the current roster use their tickets on who they want in. The most tickets win.

>>68610975
nigga Remi was hired in Phase Connect BEFORE Lumi was.

gumis are retarded. between this and yesterday a gumi trying to say Lumi brought Xalamon to Phase when he was in Phase Connect before Lumi.

>>68611081
It's a nigga finally unleashing all his rrats

>>68611081
Xalamon was a double agent working for the Fish to take down Cyberlive from the inside.
It was only later that we realized he was a triple agent whose loyalty was only to Lumi.

>>68611006
Heh, her karaoke streams aren't that good to be honest. Shiina, Panko, Runie, and Uruka do way better with live singing.
Rie's covers are good tho.

>>68610433
>Gen2 were all hired by December 2021, including Remi
>Lumi was hired in March/April 2022
>Lumi got Remi her job in Phase Connect
you're retarded

>>68610671
Nepocards aren't real. Fishman picked up a bunch of Tsunderia talents because Tsun went under and had a history of working together with Phase.

>>68611081
>between this and yesterday a gumi trying to say Lumi brought Xalamon to Phase
I can assure you that it wasn’t a fan of Lumi saying that shit

>>68611161
She's unstable (heh) live but she can still kill it live sometimes

>>68611184
I bet you'll say the same thing next year when Clara uses her nepo card on some literally who kawaii talent

Which one's the one who gets bullied by her mom on stream?
She's whatever but her mom is phenomenal

>>68611184
Nepotism hiring is VERY real and reading this thread I can understand why Pippa always, ALWAYS start playing defense when the subject of nepotism comes around

>>68597913
Sakana is interesting.
He's actually competent at his job. Enough, at least.
He's stubborn enough to not let the members walk over him when it matters. But he's also smart enough to admit mistakes and learn from them. He can understand when he's in over his head and get help.
And beyond all that, from many interactions with the members, he seems like a legitimately decent person that you can talk normally to and joke with.

>>68610989
>>68611006
Bros don't waste your time trying to save her. Only she can save herself, but I believe in her.

>>68611230
I got you bro

>>68611230
This one? Lia.

>>68611230
Lia.
Lia’s mom would make a killing as a milf vtuber.

One important thing everyone's neglecting to mention: None of the girls take themselves seriously. They're internet clowns, they know they're internet clowns, they're happy being internet clowns. There seems to be very little ego going on in PC, meaning no pointless drama between the talents bubbling over to the outside. The only spat we even know of was between Iori and Pippa and they work together just fine despite it.

why are you like this, /vt/?

>>68611273
I lose nothing by hoping. 2024 will be her year.

>>68611230
I mean Hime literally got scolded by her mom in this clip >>68610897

But otherwise I think Lia. Lia's mom legitimately bullies her and it's sexy af

>>68599345
Yeah I found Phase through Pippa, then moved on to other members (mostly Tenma). I still watch Pippa sometimes but it's mostly in collabs.
Erina is nice. I like the new gen quite a bit, too. Especially Runie.

>>68611326
>None of the girls take themselves seriously.
Oh if only this were true. You missed the Hime melty after the whole Pippa the Ripper in Phase Music's channel debacle.

>>68611326
We also knew about Tenma vs Yuri but we all know how that ended. Total Tenma Domination Baby Yeah

>>68611330
>on no why are they talking about the most popular member of Phase in a Phase thread?!?!
Fucking retard go graduate yourself

>>68611382
I think we've stabilished that Hime is an out-of-control menhera currently

>>68611347
why are Hime and her mom so much worse than Lia and her mom?
why even bother youre never gonna match Lia's mom

>>68611382
QRD?

>>68611111
Quads of truth. Even if I don't understand what you are saying

>>68611229
I really doubt any of the 4 girls she left would do that and everyone else is newer. Would be funny to see Charzu suddenly with the phase machine behind her but it's not happening kek

>>68611232
To be fair, the small corpo scene is naturally not that big, theres only a handful of companies to collab with and Phase has networked with just about all of them.

>>68611461
She will nepo the entirety of Star Ring into Phase

The complete Phase nepo family tree
>Pippa nepo'd Tenma

>>68611232
>>68611232
>Nepotism hiring
It's not some stupid card thing and you have to be an absolute retard to think it is. Talents making recommendations for future hires isn't some dark conspiracy either.
At the end of the day the Fish makes the decisions. That's why he picked up Pippa's recommendations in Tenma and Lumi and didn't pick Chinchilla, Kirsche or Sleepy.

>nepo talk
All I want to know is who is the most likely to bring Wosemi to Phase, girl really needs an exit plan from Niji now.
>>68611453
One is white, the other is asian. Asian parents can never really compete.

>>68611519
You forgot Clara nepo'd Yuu (same ex-agency) and Yuu nepo'd Loki (confirmed knew each other before phase during gen collab after debuts)
see here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAmf29llkmA&t=166s

>>68611578
Dizzy and the Wose interacted on twitter a few weeks back. I doubt Rosemi would join Phase though. She’s too good for them.

>>68611578
>who is the most likely to bring Wosemi to Phase
Half of Phase are former co-workers of Rosemi.

>>68611578
Her old manager is literally a talent now

>>68611578
Wasn't rosemi tsunderia or something?

>>68611578
Saya already filled our lazy cunt quota. Maybe try after she graduates.

>>68611230
Whoever made her design is a genius.

>>68611453
Phase is sitting on a goldmine with Lia's mom. Get her rigging and convince her to do 2 streams a month with Lia. vtubing is ready for the mother caught version of Fuwamoco.

Dragons are sleepy, anon. No bully.

So all of them, except for Tenma, STILL live with their parents

Menheras, or does the fish just not pay very well?

>>68611578
Does Rosemi follow any Phase girls? Start there. Look at her follows.

>>68611688
Lia's mom is good in small doses. Too much and she becomes vshojo milf addition.
Fishman suspended Lia's mom for a month when she tried to shill her MILF onlyfans to chat and Lia went ballistic on her.

>>68611754
Her mom has an OF? And she decided to shill it on a vtuber stream? The modern world is a joke

>>68611918
Panko is NOT 32

>>68611918
Saya isn't 32 what the fuck are you talking about

>>68611918
Tenma is nearly 40, what are you on about?

>>68612040
Rinmama was like can I talk about our cats on stream
and Lia was like
>Yes you can talk about the cats
Can I talk about the dog on stream
>Yes you can talk about the dog
Can I talk about my onlyfans
>NO YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
Sorry

>>68611754
>Fishman suspended Lia's mom
Getting not even your own talent suspended sounds pretty funny

>>68612114
Tenma is one of the younger girls in Phase unironically

>>68612124
Sounds like a shitty joke more than anything

>>68612200
impossible

>>68611688
im waiting for the day Lia and Rinmama are on Fillian's channel doing a "Date my Mom" show and the secret about how kino Rinmama is will be out of the bag,

>>68612184
Who is the oldest?

>>68611918
I actually meant to type Muumi. Sumimasen.

>>68612247
Loki potentially. Clara is over 30 as well.

>>68612200
>what would you do if you came home and found me on the noose, hanging in the living room dead?
>WOOOOO PIÑATA TIME

>>68612247
Shiina I think, though theres probably a few other contenders

>>68597702
They let Pippa run with the /here/tuber shtick

>>68612308
If my hunch about Loki is correct she's nearly 60

>>68612325
Is Shiina older than Airi? I thought Airi was the absolute haggiest hag at least of her gen.

>>68611688
lia and rinamama are special attraction. if lia ever does another donothon, she needs to make the tip top reward rinmama rigging + debut.
1 to 2 streams a month would be ideal. get her some merch.
if the lia butt mousepad was the highest selling phase merch ever at that time, then a rinmama mousepad and daki would shatter any previous records.

>>68612325
Shiina is 28. Airi and Clara are both older than her and I’d bet good money on Loki being older than all of them.

>>68612430
Really? I knew about Airi and Clara but I thought Shiina was at least 30 as well

All this stuff about tsunderia but jelly wasn't ever in it, right?

>>68597797
Basically this yeah. The ceo wanted a holo like company and is still managing thing like Holo, while the talents act like your typical twitch whore. Pippa is the female version of Assmon, she even talks like him.

>>68597702
>Phase
Mental asylum

>>68612940
Correct, Jelly made her career pretty much on her own and did end up being part of smaller (and blacker on her own words) groups. Her parents forced her to stop streaming as moonjelly but fishman saved her and now she's successful both on her own and in phase.

>>68612960
I drop a chuuba the second she mentions asmongold or moistcritical

>>68612247
>>68612430
Lumi literally just said "I'm not a zoomer" which implies she is late-20s as well.

>>68612940
Jelly was in MyHolo with Miori and Bae.

>>68613121
If you are under the age of 30, you are a zoomer. Zillenial is just a made up term by older zoomers to make themselves feel better

>>68612940
Jelly is the only good one and an honorary Holo. The rest of the company is trash.

>>68613121
Lumi is 27, turning 28 later this year.

No she's 33

The first guy responding doesn’t actually know. Only one of them can be surmised. And he forgets one other highly likely. Lia is his idea of a joke.

How is the new JP gen doing? Are JPs actually watching them?

>>68613695
Nope.

>>68597702
ive spoken to fishman for an audition and he has his priorities straight while being someone you can joke around with, i have my criticisms but overall the company is professional on that front. ive been through some god awful and downright unprofessional auditions and phase had one of the smoothest ones.

>>68613567
Airi, Shiina, Lumi
Read the thread you fucking retard this was discussed literally 10 posts above yours

>>68612430
Shiina is older than 28 she references old shit too often
>>68611724
Dizzy and shiina live with their sister

>>68610969
>Panko might make sense because she barely spoke English when she joined phase and improved drastically over time
That's a lie btw.

>>68606695
This dude never watched Holo.
>>68606376
True.
>>68606597
>The thing that makes Pippa (and Phase) strong is that their strongest girls are all different
Not really. The top girl is Pippa and the second biggest phase talent is not even close to her. Original poster is right when he says
>Hololive is so big because it has a BUNCH of those outstanding talents
Phase doesn't, it is the Pippa company and nobody is even close to her.

>>68614949
>it is the Pippa company
only on vt.

>>68614949
>their strongest girls are all different
>Not really
I guess Tenma is just a drunk Pippa then. Anon the expert has spoken.

>>68615570
Not really. The gap between Pippa and the second phase talent is enormous on all the fronts. No such thing in Holo or even NijiJP.

>>68615659
Learn to read reply chains retard.
>Hololive is so big because it has a BUNCH of those outstanding talents that all create a critical mass of virality when taken in combination.
In Phase the only one with that pull is still Pippa. Saying
>The thing that makes Pippa (and Phase) strong is that their strongest girls are all different
Is wrong because there is one strong talent, the rest are secondary.

>>68615570
This.
If it was "the Pippa company" in the industry, nobody would work with Phase Connect besides Fillian.
They have girls that have worked hard to remove the shit stain Pippa has put on the company brand. The fact that the first 3 Holo, NIJI, and VSHOJO collabs were organized by non Pippa girls shows it

>>68615712
>Implying the gap between Gura and everyone else in Holo isn't fucking massive
The only person close to her is Marine and she's still 1 million subs less. That's a far bigger gap than what is between Pippa and Tenma.

Pippa being this terrible monster is another thing that is only "true" on /vt/.

Guess I was just imagining Pippa being in that Henya, Pippa, Tenma collab.
>doesn't count
I'm sure it doesn't.

Are you retarded or what? Maybe you don't know shit about holo and you are putting only subs into perspective but your argument is extremly retarded to anyone who knows even the slightest about it. Even at the time of Gura's peak in EN holo already made a breach with many other talents, the reason Gura exists in the first place is because there was a demand from english fans. Back then and today if you take CCV, donos, popularity, merch and so on there is not a huge gap between Gura and other holo members. Heck she regularly lose in many of those fields.
