Pretty sure it was Lamy that said a 3D live can cost upwards of 50k+ depending on how crazy they go with it. Bae said an orisong with a pretty basic video can be around 10k, so a full anime MV like what Okayu and Kanata have done would probably start going towards the 50k+ area as well because of all the people that would need to be commissioned for the work on top of any extra licensing or copyright stuff to get it under the Okayu/Cover name.

A full animated MV is probably close to an order of magnitude more expensive even. I'd wager closer to 200k or 300k USD. And she got some big names in there.
If it were only 50k, she could easily have covered the costs herself without issue, and wouldn't take 6 months to pay off the loan, especially when she'll be getting no pay at all in that time.

I can’t tell if you’re pretending you can’t read or you’re just that dumb. All her monthly checks go straight to cover until she pays it off so she can only live off of what she currently has. First, that’s worse than a standard loan because while their is interest you aren’t surviving solely on your bank account, second they are still cutting her the check because they have to separate the money each member is making not to mention they would be tax fraud, and third this means cover takes no risks. This idea only works because the members spend their first 6 months entirely on saving as they don’t have 3D or any serious jobs

Most of you lost the plot on this. As long as the money spent goes on to produce something, Doki isn't the type that cares about major costs. The issue was that the money went to nothing because Niji management kept blocking her either due to clique-shenanigans or general incompetency, which lead to her mental state deteriorating.

This sounds to me like you don't like any Vtuber company that doesn't give IP rights to the talents. But I think you are misunderstanding the economics of Vtuber companies. If the corpos pay for the projects of every talent, they will never get any profit because the revenue is often lower than the investment. If the corpo never gets profit, they can't do effective marketing. If they can't do effective marketing for the talent, every Vtuber corpo would be useless and it'll be harder for the talents to market themselves

For advertisement and entertainment companies, yes. Sometimes if you want better customer results, you pay out of your own pocket to buy gifts for them, or treat them to a fancy dinner.

If you want a more creative commercial and it exceeds the fund, you fill the gap with your own money.

It's super normal for a job that relies on commissions to pay something out of your own pocket.

Because unfortunately they still own the IP, and they take care of publishing and all of that. Just like the other anon said about record labels.
That said, we don't know what the split tends to be on stuff like this. Maybe she does get most of it. Or at least should from song sales. The MV, being on youtube, would be subject to the same split all ad revenue is.
I agree a lot of it tends to be super predatory, but people still sign on to these kinds of things because they tend to be mutually beneficial, at least at the start. If they weren't, it wouldn't be as common.

Movie studios do pay for the films the produce, but he's kind of right about record companies. They actually do things like force artists to take out loans to make their albums and end up paying them essentially nothing for records that sell millions of copies, so artists have to make a living through touring, (though record contracts are getting more and more predatory and they're moving on concert income, merch, sponsorships, etc. too).
The thing is this is universally regarded as a shitty practice and no one who hears about it defends it, whereas here people are defending the same shit here is because of le heckin dorito. There's no excuse for a talent as big as Okayu to be forced to forgo SIX MONTHS of income to produce a video that she doesn't own, while a company that paid none of the costs and did none of the work on it collects the revenue.

While I know nijikeks are usually stupid, the OP hit an all-time low. Most of the things Hololive talents do as part of their job description are paid for by Cover(SC cuts, sponsorships, events like HoloFes). Beyond that, expenses for things such as customized MVs, covers and merch, are on the talents because those are beyond the aforementioned scope. It's simply not financially viable for the company to foot the bill for everything. There's a huge difference between that and nijisanji's penny-pinching approach. Merciful God, you nijikeks are simply too stupid to understand how the industry works. What will you bring up next?

Bae is retarded most basic videos are not fucking 10k or maybe you’re a retard changing her words. Unless you’re getting scammed no basic mv is costing $10k usd. As far as I know there are few songs in hololive that broke $100k mostly from marine, noel’s 3D song that left her deep in the red though she didn’t actually give a price for it and I think one other member.
Moona’s high tide MV was a couple thousand which is usually the range. Most higher end ones pass $20k and upwards of $50k not a basic one. And the reason 3D lives are so expensive is because they pay for the studio, song rights, choreography, maybe back up dancers, merch comes from them, and then you add in the new song or in some cases songs.
Having cover pay it out of pocket then having them pay them back is so retarded. Then again these girls spend money like it’s water so they probably never have that amount up front.
All of this is for work so they’d get a tax write-off but they aren’t paying for it they are instead paying off a loan which admittedly also gives one but not to the same extent. Cover gets multiple tax credits in exchange because they also give out a budget according to the homos at least

You seem to be struggling with the concept that no business practices can claim to be perfect. No one here unironically thinks Cover is immaculate. The corpo is not your friend, after all. But if you can't see that Cover's remuneration and compensation policies are still among the industry's best, and light years ahead of nijisanji's, then you're just moronic beyond saving.

But maybe it was 7 figures in yen.
I did find that Bae mentioned fully animated MVs are 7 figures though so I guess you'd be right, and I was way off. My search reps are pretty bad though, might try again searching in nip if I can figure out what to search for.

Kson isn't wrong about how the vtuber corpo system is messed up but marketing is too vital in the entertainment industry. Hololive and Nijisanji talents are contract workers that make a lot of money but own none of their content. Even if they make thousands of videos over the course of a decade if they anger management they can easily get terminated and have their channel deleted. Can understand why VShojo is well liked by vtubers. Even if they can't make an indie famous it's the first major agency that lets vtubers have actual ownership rights.

I addressed all those points in the statement, I even brought up the very real possibility that they almost certainly don’t have the money on hand which is why they do it this way. Budget isn’t for the MV that’s for the 3D live
Now I called it retarded but more than likely necessary. If it’s not necessary though it’s bad for multiple reasons
>they lose out on the write off
>they won’t get any new salary until it’s paid off so let’s say they have to move last minute because of a stalker, which has happened, they have to spend exorbitant amounts because they have to be fast and western streamers caused a lot of housing problems
>The payment is completely reliant on cover so any issues come up an extra 0, decimal in the wrong place, jealous employee embezzling all falls back on to them.

Okayu unveiled her MV on her bday live, which had merch.
Holos get more then 50% on custom merch, and mid tier holos easily sell 200k+ dollers worth of merch, now she is doing unlimited handsigned once this time and the merch is fucking good so I wouldn't be surprised if it sold half a million USD worth.

The world works like that. They choosing to spent money THEY KNOW wont be getting back is their choice, cover aint forcing them to make music or MVs, or big ass tournaments, they do it for the fans.
Most of the clips you will see about holos discussing costs is just to explain how things work but not done out of malice or to jab at cover, rather to explain how things work and how most projects dont recoup costs because the nature of music covers, mvs and youtube itself.

Honestly that's what I was thinking as well. While an anime episode might have more to its expenses, a fully animated MV often keeps to a higher quality throughout and thus costs more. So ~1/3 - 1/2 the cost while being ~1/6 or 1/7 the time would make sense to me.

Which is exactly what Okayu's project is all about. You're shitting on Selen for taking on projects, but you have zero problems with nijisanji's treatment of her. Meanwhile, you try to flip the narrative in Okayu's case because shitting on Cover was your intention all along.

An animated project like this tends to increase the sale of related products, it's why Bandai makes Gundam episodes free to watch in most of Asia, for an employee this makes sense if they receive a decent cut of merchandise sold. Since this is released in conjunction with her birthday goods more of those will be sold compared to if Okayu didn't commission this animated video. The following is speculation but if it's true that Cover Corp lets their employees get a larger cut of merch profits if they personally fund the production costs up front, it's likely that she blew her budget funding her own merch for that much larger cut and took this loan agreement with Cover to pay for the animation.
This animation should also move more of her existing merch off the shelves, something retailers keep track of, as a result will order more when future licensed/tie in products are released, guessing from the difference cost between Good Smiles in house vs Hololive licensed products and assuming a 50% licensing fee split between the talent and company, she'll get 10-15% of the sticker price whenever they release or rerun a figure, Nendroid whatever. I'd consider this animated music video a gamble for increased future earnings but a relatively safe one.

She meant that Hololive actually pays their talents a salary for actually working. Unlike some other corpos where there isn't a base salary and they still expect you to pay entirely out of pocket.
And having it be a loan just makes the whole thing even easier for a Hololive talent, since the money being from Cover means that management is going to be directly involved in paying the artists and helping to organize the project. 0 interest is also a big deal when you're talking about loans.

Costs aren't only in the form of money. Stuff like Cover making sure all of the expenses are covered correctly, having managers working with her on the project to ensure it comes out on time without issues, etc. would all involve costs that they'd want to recuperate.
That's the tradeoff of being a corpo Vtuber. They get a cut one the money in exchange for better structure and organization than you could get as an indie.

No one in Cover was banned from making international tournaments either.
No one in Cover had to pay out of pocket for prizes for art contest winners because of the company refusing to, in fact Cover gave away a few Acrylic stands as Prizes for a tournament in one of their fan-games (Idol Showdown).
No one in Cover ever got their dream sponsorships taken away either - in fact, Cover does a good job of matching sponsors with the holos that actually enjoy that product (e.g. Hime with Yamaha Electone, Subaru with YuGiOh, the Valo playing girls with RIOT-ONE etc.).

Mostly because the majority of the criticism is trying to equate Cover to Anycolor in terms of how black the companies are when anyone who views the companies without any bias can see that they're not even in the same dimension. That's not to say Cover is perfect though because they aren't. It just comes off as deflection and whataboutism.

Bae's 1M yen was not enough to cover the cost.
Comes up to around $10k per MV minimum.

However the biggest draw for a talent to do something like this, even more than increased merch sales, is to remain relevant and attractive enough for advertisers to want to use you in a promotional tie in, lets take this Sushiro promotion as an example.
Working backwards from Sushiro Taiwan's average monthly revenue we can guess their marketing budget.
Assuming Gura did not renegotiate her contract for a larger cut and that Sushiro Taiwan lowballed Hololive paying about 6% of average monthly revenue in licensing fees for this campaign, Gura received a little over 300k USD upfront before any proceeds from all this merch sold. You can see now why it would be tempting for a talent, with Hololive's reach and revenue split, to take a risk on animated videos like this for a chance to pull in this kind of passive income

im not sure that is the case. Because holo mamas still draw and market their works even after graduation. You can see Mels mama still promoting her book of Mel just recently.
Im almost sure there is a deal with the artsit on how the compnay own the rights to use the ip but the Ip or original design still is owned by the artist and they bend to the rules of distribution of the company and at the same time they hold some saying over how or where they market this too.
Meaning whatever they would like to do with that chuba design would need to get permission from the original artist at some point depending on the context of how they want to display that image. This is also something i feel happens because it would explain also why they change artist sometimes like with vesper case.

The Nene shit doesn't get enough attention on this board. Management basically told Nene she's never getting a solo live because her numbers aren't good enough and she's been on a menhera semi-break ever since. But I guess no one cares about JP here.

It absolutely can, however, a contract termination usually indicates the company being dissatisfied with the talent, while a talent leaving usually indicates the talent being dissatisfied with the company.
So the point was that there have been very few hololive girls dissatisfied enough with Cover to quit over it. That's a pretty reliable way to measure that Cover is doing good by them.

Missed the point that is optional. If she wants to do a big project for her fans, Cover will provide a loan.

What is remarkable is that Cover has talents willing to do this. Why I keep saying Doki would fit right in.

If you used company equipment or IP to make something during your free time, such as using a company laptop to develop an indie game, the company would legally own it and can sue you for 100% of the revenue regardless of how much you personally spent on it.

Advertising works, hard core fans will buy everything she puts out, if Cover is even semi competent that they should be keeping track of how many more casual fence sitters end up buying merch if an animated video is and isn't released.
If you pretend to be a seanig via vpn you can watch Seed remastered, Build Fighters and WfM for free on YouTube right now, they don't even run ads except for one at the end of the episode shilling the related Gunpla, enough of those are sold in the region as a result to make this worth it.

I'm not talking about what's legal, I'm talking about what's right. I have no doubt Cover is legally right to retain ownership and take half the money, or even all the money, Okayu makes on the MV. I just think that's wrong, and that since she paid for it, she should own it.

Oh yeah, I calculated average Holomem income with this thing, and it came to around 30k$ a month.
Assuming income fluctuates according to merch season or dry season, let's say it was around 10k$ in lean season.
That's around $60k for the price of this MV, which makes a lot of sense considering the talent involved.
And if it's merch season (like Okayu's birthday merch) it can go from $100k to $500k and above. For Okayu she's doing unlimited signed sets, so it'll be on the higher end, let's say $300k.
She probably won't even have to wait that long to pay it back. About a month or two until her merch income starts getting processed and coming in.

Indies wish they could do huge projects like this. Cover makes it possible.
Nothing is stopping her from getting an outside loan, so Cover's must be pretty good.
