Hmm, I'll update the archive with those three (while expanding a bit on Yume+ (no "i" in there)) so that we have everything from the previous thread in there.

Yae Yuguri teased this image at the end of what was a Brave Group karaoke relay. The speculation currently is that it is V4Mirai Gen 4 but specifically for gaming which is confusing considering they have VSPO EN? Could also just be merch via custom controllers but highly doubtful as well. Tagging both the news and rrat anchors because it's an announcement of a teaser for something of which that something is up in the air.

hololive's rrat has something to say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ugwiy8flac
She warned in her chat:
>im saying it right now because I don't want to cause panic no im not graduating

>>83088226
>>83179805
Was aiming for Fauna Hyte case, but I suppose she made the branch antlers too large...

>>83088226

>>83087875
Looks like Kilia of EIEN is graduating
>>83183518

>>83184591
Awww man, I liked her, just never had much time to spare to watch her stuff. Bitch could seriously sing too. Well, at least they aren't nuking her channel. Hopefully she moves on to another persona and/or company. Shame, the model was fantastic too, aside from maybe the breasts.

Right after recovering from her shack burning down too...

>>83184591
Which one it is? The one who lost all their gen but two? Sorry, I can't honestly remember.

>>83184890
I don't recall of hearing EIEN having any major problems, save for the fact that they terminated the girl who now runs Vallure.

>>83184591
>>83087875
Announcement of Kilia Kurayami's Graduation
>Thank you for your continued support of EIEN Project and our talents.
>We regret to inform you that on September 8th, 2024, our talent Kilia Kurayami from our 1st Generation "Museia" will be graduating from EIEN Project at the end of her contract period.
>Kilia has been an important partner in the growth of EIEN Project since its origins, and was a founding member of our first generation. We are grateful to Kilia for the time she has spent with us and wish her the very best in her future endeavors.
>Kilia is planning some exciting content for her remaining time with EIEN Project in order to properly thank her community and say her goodbyes.
>A large majority of Kilia's content will remain available on her YouTube channel after her graduation. Channel memberships will be terminated on September 9th, 2024.
>EIEN Project would like to express our deepest thanks to all of Kilia's Buoys and the fans who have supported her and allowed her to thrive as a creator and VTuber for the past year and a half.
>We hope you will continue to support Kilia until her graduation and send her off with your well wishes!

>>83184890
>The one who lost all their gen but two?
You might be thinking of idol, but they lost their entire first generation (two before the merger, and three at it).
You might also be thinking of idolHE, which had five talents, three of whom left before the remaining two were rebranded as idolEN gen0 Origins. (One of whom left on the merger.)
>>83185163
>>83088144
>large majority probably means that her members'-only content will be wiped or at least inaccessible, which is fairly standard practice.
As for remaining members, EIEN Project has two generations. The first, "Museia", had four members, while the second, "Haven", has five members. Of "Museia", Kiki graduated in March of this year at the end of her contract, Kilia will graduate imminently, Skye is still around, and Riifu ... left under contentious circumstances (in April of last year) and has since moved on to higher pursuits.

>>83184890
VReverie lost all but two of its members at one point - I think think they were technically down to one for a little while. Still have no idea what they were doing so wrong, only that BriAtCookiebox has described them as "disgusting and abusive". They've since hired a few more talents.

EIEN's greatest sin was losing Riifu, who had more experience than all their management combined, and has paid them back by creating a vtuber group big enough to drown them all.

Success is the best revenge.

>>83186270
How long did it take her to pass her previous sub count?

>>83184881
I never saw proof about this supposed shack burning incident
Popped into /eien/ for a look and their hostility towards her doing a donothon then taking a vacation immediately afterwards leads me to believe she could have lied.

>>83187687
She put photos of the damage up on her twitter. Failed donothon goals are common and amount to nothing, not a good reason to take a vacation and the monetary cost that comes with it, let alone make up a story to take that vacation, in an industry where you can basically go on hiatus for any reason whatsoever.

Next stream, rounds 7-9, on Friday night, 8/23, 8 PM ET

>>83187851
>>83187687
I'm sure the fire happened. If she lied about anything, it's how the fire started, as I suspect it involved something that was just too embarrassingly stupid for her to admit.

She was a good performer though, and will be missed.

>>83186598
She's more than doubled within the same timespan she had as green woman. Reeflings are a very strong fanbase and their faith of waiting an entire year was well rewarded with getting exactly what they wanted.

>>83189150
leaving a candle unattended which destroys your streaming setup isn't embarrassingly stupid enough?

>>83190059
Yes, but she had multiple stories as to what it was exactly that distracted her from the candle, from medical emergency to being on the toilet too long. Though maybe being on the toilet too long was the medical emergency, as that's about as embarrassing as it gets.

Seems that's the inconsistency that launched a bunch of nonsensical rrats like that Anon's.

>>83190284
Yeah, the tendency of antis to take different statement to mean different stories as opposed to different parts of one story really let that one get out of control. Given the undeniable proof that it happened, this rrat should die.
>>83189988
Any good recs to get to know her as a streamer? I've only watched the VAllure debuts and her corpo expose and am always looking for more VODs with which to waste away the time.

>>83190284
Maybe she lit up da bong and da boof so fire it burned the shed down

>>83184881
https://youtu.be/ySX_wRA2bhM
Image is from the bloody /vt/ anthem.

>>83184591
>>83184881
Wasn't she the one who's PC burned part of her room?

>>83191536
she gave conflicting statements.
>>83088144
methinks she had a menhera moment and burned down the shed herself

>>83191658
She's fairly drama free, and leaving EIEN is the closest thing she's had to a menhera moment thus far. She's pretty professional, compared to most vtubers - not that it's a very high bar, but still... Think it's more likely she just did something stupid, which I would be less apt to put past her, and is the cause of most fires.

>>83088226
(Possibly last for awhile.)

>>83190901
The streams where she plays childhood xbox games are my favorites. I'll recommend the Viva Pinata one as an example of what to expect. The thing with Stronny is you cum for the coomer, stay for the wholesome autism.

has anything materialised out of the Mel/Elfin situation? Is there anything really that connects them? I saw it in catalog a few days ago but haven't kept up

>>83088144
Gura is streaming

>>83209052
There isn't any concrete proof, but there's enough circumstantual evidence to make it incredibly likely they're the same person.
Given Mel's penchant for trying to take the board for a ride every few months, it is incredibly likely that it's happening again, but because there's no concrete evidence it's not enough to report on as anything more than a highly plausible rrat. Also frankly, Mel being schizo and trying to scam people isn't really news at this point, since she's done it so much. It'd be similar to reporting Mikeneko meltdowns on Twitter.

Slack Back anon here, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Let's start things off with a lunch report.

ANYCOLOR
Anycolor heads to lunch taking a step back, as they're now at 2260 yen (-35) for their lunch break price. They seem to have stabilized however, looking at their performance for the past hour before hand.

COVER
Cover also seems to be taking a step back as well, as they sit at 1660 yen (-22) for lunch. Also similar in performance, but at the very least they're losing less.

OTHER
The NIKKEI sees a miniscule drop at a 0.03% loss after a more dismal beginning.

Twitch is killing karaoke streams

>>83222649
Looking in the replies that seems not to be the case.
https://twitter.com/hectagonist/status/1825362387857277270

>>83222649
Twitch always gotta find some way to screw over the vtubers...

How is a "Cover Song Performance" that is live legal, and not Karaoke? Or are they saying the band must be live too? Seems it'd be easy to set up a keyboard or beatbox with MIDI and thus claim the whole performance is live. Hell, that's all what a lot of modern performers do.

Twitch gonna twitch. If they weren't so stupid and maybe invested in enough drive space to retain their videos and some sorta algorithm for recommendations, they could be real competition for Youtube, but alas, they be stupid.

>>83223606
Specifically says Karaoke performances are not allowed. "But we're not saying Karaoke aren't allowed!"

Yup, that's Twitch. I'm sure they'll just start banning vtubers and ignore all the hot half naked chicks that are doing it.

>>83088226

>Virtual Circle, a mobile game produced by Tencent and starring 4 CN vtubers as fighters in an in-universe tournament, is announced.
>Twitch releases new guidelines regarding music content that may not be included in streams. Now banned are Radio Station-Style Broadcasts, DJ Sets, Karaokes, Lip Synch Performances, Visual depictions of Music (such as lyrics, notation, ect), and Cover Songs Performances.

Local
>Mikoler defeats Mio to claim both the HoloFightZ Championship, as well as the HoloFightZ Badass Championship, in a Best 2 Of 3 Falls match. This breaks Mio's long-running streak as HoloFightZ Champion.
>Nachoneko currently leads IndieCar 14 as of Round 6, with Ayamy and Kiki Pyon taking 2nd and 3rd place.
>IndieCar 14 will continue on 8/23 @ 8p ET.

>>83223606
This is generally correct from a copyright standpoint, but the way Twitch phrased the message >>83222649 it’s as if Twitch intended to act on its own initiative to go after streamers.
Also, this is clearly just a move to placate the music industry; the much more noticeable drag of react content, which doesn’t have an industry opposed to it, will be allowed with no change under this policy.

>>83225274
Arigato Smol Ameo!

>>83088226

>>83222649
>>83223606
I want to note that YouTube pretty much has a similar stance by default, despite being the biggest platform for covers and remixes (which is ironic in a sense). It's just rules and legal stuff to cover their ass and show to copyright holders that they're willing to cooperate, but how much of it they will enforce is yet to be seen.

>>83088094

Knap Sack anon here, it's time for our opening closing report for the week!

ANYCOLOR
Despite their stability prior, Anycolor continued to drop as they stay in their place as they close out at 2238 yen (-57) for today. A bad start, but this is still more of the same considering their range nowadays.

COVER
Cover however goes the extra mile, as they surpass Anycolor in losses after lunch as they head home at 1618 yen (-64). At the very least they seemed to bottom out in the last hour, which is probably their only positive.

OTHER
The NIKKEI immediately dropped after lunch, culminating into a 1.82% loss.

Over your first month, you’ve demonstrated or shared you can play the violin, viola, and piano. What was your journey in learning these instruments? Can you play other instruments?
>Hello, and thank you for having me! So for the violin, many many many years ago I saw an orchestra performance and one of the violinists had a golden violin. I was like “I want that!” and decided to pick it up because of its aesthetic. I took lessons for many years.
>Viola and piano just kind of happened over time and are mostly self-taught. I can also play a teeny tiny bit of cello and guitar, and am a strong kazoo enthusiast!
Are there any new instruments you hope to try someday?
>A HURDY GURDY! I really, really, really, really, really want a Hurdy Gurdy, which is a really cool medieval turny-turny instrument. I would also like a harp, but I know they are notoriously hard to play, so it’s probably not a good idea. Another instrument that seems super cool is the shamisen though! Maybe one day I can try it out!
How did you first discover hololive? What inspired you to audition?
>My first exposure to hololive was Matsuri-senpai’s “bandaid” YouTube clip… and I just thought to myself “Who is this funny lady?” I don’t speak Japanese, but I started watching a lot of translated clips of other hololive talents at that point, and then Myth debuted!
>Through my long automaton life, I’ve always been someone that gains and loses interests in things really quickly, but my interest in VTubers never wavered. And in hololive specifically, there is so much variation from just playing games, to being musicians and idols! Plus everyone is so cute!!! I got inspired to try for the tiniest chance of being able to do all of these fun things together with people I look up to. And here we are! Honestly, it still feels very surreal to me and I’ve been floating around just taking things in since debut. I’m very happy to be here.
On top of German and English, you can speak French, which you displayed greatly at Japan Expo 2024, and even a bit of Norwegian. How did you learn those languages?
>Honestly, I am not that good at studying languages through textbooks and the like, but exposure works really well for me! I consume a lot of media in their respective languages. For example, listening to audio books or watching shoujo anime in French dub, or simple movies in Norwegian. It really helps! Next will be: Japanese!!!
When did you start coding, and what inspired you to learn it?
>A long time ago, I learned the basics of different coding languages because I was convinced I should do IT stuff. Then I realized that I didn’t like it and dropped it all! Oops!
>But then, recently, I played a super cute Touhou fan game and a bunch of other simpler indie games, and thought to myself “I wish I knew how to make those!” So I took a Godot beginner’s class. I still only know the basics, but it’s fun and I recommend anyone to check Godot out, as it’s pretty intuitive compared to other programming languages! Yeah!
You mentioned Code Geass was your favorite anime. Can you share what you like the most from it? What are your favorite character(s) and moment(s) from it?
>For me, Code Geass was one of the first more “serious” anime that I watched! So imagine the feeling of only watching cutesy silly anime for a long time, and then suddenly coming across something so highly polished and with an actual plotline. It really blew me away. To this day I think it has aged really well and still holds up and has one of the best OSTs ever. My favorite parts are the soundtracks “0,” “What’s Justice,” (hehe fitting) and the different creative magical powers in the show! Plus, C.C. is cute!
You recently participated in a Coffee vs Tea debate, alongside other talents from hololive English, where you brilliantly made your case for tea with undeniable facts and logic. What was your takeaway from that experience?
>My takeaway is that you can make a real website with real facts and statistics that I didn’t make up at all, but the other girls will just go and make things up. And it’s not okay!!!!
>But Tea Won! So, all is well in the world. I hope no one reading right now has any coffee close to them and if you do, you should throw it away!!

>>83235713
(2/2)
“Bad books” are one of your likes. Can you give us a recommendation?
>I’m sorry, but I will take the names of all my favorite books to my grave. Since Automatons can’t die naturally, that will take a long time! Actually, if you guys are okay with waiting, I will tell you the names then!
Considering the ancient technology of your automaton body, I would assume few would know how it works. In case a part breaks or malfunctions, how are repairs handled?
>I can do small, basic repairs myself since I’m quite crafty! But if I get seriously damaged, I think it will be over… But it’s okay since I’m very durable, so we’re fine! I think!
What would be your master plan to apprehend the members of holoAdvent?
>Okay hear me out. I’ve already suggested just digging a hole to trap them, but Biboo can fly. So, my next suggestion is, we invite them all to Justice headquarters and prepare rooms for them with their favorite things inside — we have quite a bit of space.
>Then, we remove the doors. I think it will take them quite some time to notice since they’ll just be streaming and be distracted anyway. And once they do notice, I am hoping they’ll just quickly and quietly accept their new environment! We could install windows so everyone has a nice view to the clouds since headquarters are up in the sky! It’s the perfect plan! For Justice! YAY!

>Every single moment we have shared together has been one I will carry in my heart forever. Since the day I debuted you have all stood by me through thick and fire (haha... sorry, you know I can never take myself seriously) and have made me the happiest dorca alive. Seeing how much you've all flourished, and watching this community grow, has been an honor and I hope you all continue to pursue your passions and dreams even after I'm no longer around.
>The girls in EIEN Project are all so incredibly talented and wonderful people. I have learned so much from all of them and I am so grateful I got to be a part of their journey. I wish them all the best and hope you too will support them and their content!
>One last favour though, please don't bring up my graduation or ask for their opinions on this event as it's going to be a tough time for all of us and I want it to remain positive and fun for the time we have left.
>My final stream will be on Sunday, September 8th 2024, so until then, I will try my best to create happy, everlasting memories that we can both look back on for years to come!
>You can do anything, because you're my everything & always will be.

Bijou's ssd died, she's trying various methods to recover it but possibly no streams for awhile

>>83243563
She was the only British person I ever liked. Aside from Rowan Atkinson.

>>83247087
and now they are both DEAD. Stop liking things.

>>83243563
She's apparently removing her hand cam streams for some reason, so archive those. I can only think of one company with unusually strict rules about hand cams, but I dunno if that means anything.

I don't know how EIEN Project is going to survive without her. Kiki Lockheart was the only one to hold a candle to her, at just over half the subs. I can't recall what drama caused it, but she hasn't streamed in over four months.

The only other girl really putting in the hours and effort is Zumi, but it doesn't seem to be paying off, as perhaps her New Yorker accent retro gamer gimmick can only carry her so far, even if I find her adorable personally.

Might not be the last graduation we see from EIEN this year, and I wouldn't be surprised if the company was gone by sometime in '25, given that there was nothing they could offer to keep their biggest talent onboard.

I suppose Skye is still around, as the last of her gen, but they've got basically no one who is doing well. Not sure if they are planning to launch another wave or close shop.

>>83249019
That's a shame. I really liked Zumi.

>>83247863
>>83249160
>New Yorker accent
It's a Bostonian accent, damnitall!

Meh, if they do close shop maybe they'll let some talents keep their IP's. Not that it'd be a huge deal for someone Zumi's size, but it would save her having to start over investing in a new model.

>>83249160
Kiki graduated. Zumi is still there but she does have a health condition that can make her streaming inconsistent at best.
>>83247863
>Kiki Lockheart was the only one to hold a candle to her, at just over half the subs
Subs only tell so much story. I'd say losing Riifu was as much or more a blow. Props to Kilia and Skye for carrying on as they have.

>>83088226

>>83088226
>>83255737
Dunno what to say. Neuro-sama just does what she wants as ever.

The 1024p ones are from a different model though. The anime style of Flux is a lot more simplistic and cleaner than the 2.5D Dark Sushi images, most of which are 512p because I'm using a service rather than my own rig, but Flux also handles complex prompts a lot better.

>>83255737
Maybe compare these two as an example of the difference. The same prompt, save one is using a Lora while the other is using a description of Ironmouse.
>>83235630
>>83184177

>>83258174
the image on this one is really funny
fucks up the 5pt star, also nexas is a 4 pt?
fucks up "nexas"
roughly gets her vibe, but very poorly interprets it

>>83248664
So, I've seen a lot of posts mentioning "Talent said X and implies that Holo is turning to shit behind the scenes", most of them blaming an increase in corporate-style activity, or just general operational displeasure.
I have found literally none of them to be substantiated. ALL of them are exaggerated.
>Gura says management cancelled most of her projects and she's got no good music!
>Gura actually just mentioned that A SINGLE project fell through and said nothing about management.
>Lamy hates the company because of the IPO!
>Lamy actually didn't mention IPO at all and claimed she loved Hololive.
>Mori hates hololive and the UMG contract!
>Mori actually didn't say anything even remotely like this, and to my knowledge hasn't vocally mentioned UMG directly in over a year.
Seems to just be antis swarming for some reason. I doubt it's just this one Pippafag.

>>83088144
>>83258758
this is the fallout of nijibait no longer being bait, but reality, so they all turn to baiting holo instead since they don't watch anything else and it may as well not exist

>>83258758
>this one Pippafag
And, in addition to the Holo-anting, they latch on to other people to try to Phase-anti. Truly, Nijiseethe. How recent was the Mori thing? I remember the Lamy and Gura statements, which were very exaggerated. Was Mori's a bit further back in time.

>>83088226
>>83255737
>>83258417
With a few exceptions, if Dark Sushi recognizes the chuuba or there's a Lora, I go with it, otherwise I go with Flux, as Sushi is very bad at following descriptions.

>>83258751
Yeah, no Lora or anything for her yet, best I could get Neuro to do was ballpark it. Neuro-sama has bad spelling habits and is not too good with text in general, but it's better than standard SD models where all you get is some garbage that looks vaguely like text. Wrong number of points on the star logo is my bad though, I didn't define it, just said star logo. Not that Neuro is real good at counting either, probably 50/50 if I had defined it.

I was really impressed with the Omocat logo she cooked up yonder though: >>83178189, as well as how close she got to Gura with just "keychain doll of shark girl with oversized blue shirt". Neuro pulled the shark hoodie and white hair all on her own, while using just "Gawr Gura" under that model results in an angry looking bird. It's almost like she knows Gura, but is pretending she doesn't.

>>83259862
Basically what I was saying. Still kinda does whatever it feels like, but is a lot cleaner about it, so it looks more sterile, I suppose.

>>83088226

>>83259654
I saw that they had another frame up when they were streaming it, didn't realise it was for that purpose. What's their reasoning for this?

Stout Wound anon here, it's time for the 2nd closing report.

ANYCOLOR PIERCES THE HEAVENS
Anycolor stocks soared and never looked back today, as they climb to a nearly funny 2424 yen (187) for the closing price. I can't find any hard evidence on what happened to cause such a thing unfortunately, however I believe it's due to a google pixel collab that was posted after the market closed yesterday or some short selling shenanigans. Regardless, a great day for Anycolor as they now are back in the green for their post Q4 report performance.

COVER RIDES THE MOMENTUM
Cover rides the rising tide as well, but they're more stagnant after their surge. They head home at 1691 yen (73) to close out this headliner day. Nothing much else to say, but we'll have to see if they can retain this gain.

OTHER
The NIKKEI sees a good day as they rise by 1.8%
Trading Volumes for the soul:
Anycolor: 1.01 Million (This is the first time in over a month they've gone over 1 Million I believe.)
Cover Corp: 2.39 Million

>>83301558
Lastly here's Cover for the night. Talk about a day for gains.

>>83331998
There are many Phase bait threads up, and then more to deflect from the original bait threads. There's also the new Twitch feature bullshit which has three threads for some reason.

>>83332094
To at least get it mentioned with the /news/bant...
Twitch has implemented a new feature, "Drop Ins", which allows for unannounced collabs. A streamer can "Knock" on another stream to try to set up a collab. [It was apparently spearheaded by a VTuber, see https://x.com/x/status/1825718212303945869 who has since been skewered for bragging about it on Twitter.] In any case, it is generally unwanted, and many VTubers are complaining about it. Merry, for example, https://x.com/x/status/1825813478629613879 noted that it turns on your webcam (if you're sending the request, that is). The built-in turn-off feature is only temporary: either for one hour, or for the rest of that stream. In either case, the feature will always be turned on at the beginning of a stream. It can effectively disabled by setting the feature to favorites-only, and then not favoriting anyone; this, however, is a workaround. Here is Twitch's post: https://x.com/Twitch/status/1825573839469945340 I've checked over the replies and there have been none addressing the fallout.
Here's the blog post:

Silvi still sounds kinda bitter though if you ask me

>>83333476
What even was the drama?

>>83334084
Lady Dee offhandedly mentions a vtuber unity concert.

Person who organized the concert (Silvi) is royally pissed that she wasn't credited and that the piece was so short, and blasts False on Twitter.

Instead of ignoring this entitled bitch's stupid ass, False spends 20 minutes blasting her on his show.

I suspect the Twitter comment really upset Lady Dee or something, thus triggering False, but basically it's an everyone here is an asshole situation. People need to stop being idiots on twitter, and people gotta learn to ignore idiots on twitter.

Anyone have the full story of what's going on with Phase and condoms? I see threads but no one is reporting here apparently
>>83322534

>>83335813
I've no idea why that's generating so much thread traffic. It's not as if any of the girls involved are super seiso or anything. If Amelia Watson started talking about condoms that might be noteworthy, but Lia and her friends? Why does anyone give a fuck?

>>83335981
>I've no idea why
because sisters smell blood to knock Phase down a peg.

VShojo's auditions have now culled the first batch of failed applicants
https://x.com/VShojo/status/1826002639647047972

>>83334365
Yeah, that sounds stupid.
>>83335813
>no one is reporting here
Because there's nothing to report. Uruka mentioned buying condoms with Lia, so now there are a number of catalog threads created by searching her Twitter posts for a mention of "condom". As >>83335981 mentioned, it's not as though this particularly changes the perceived image of either Uruka or Lia. I suppose we shall see what Lia's stream idea relative to condoms will be; but even then there will still be no news on which to report.

AniLive Jumpstarter LilyBellNeko will debut on August 23rd 10AM PDT on AniLive
https://x.com/AniLive_app/status/1826016369000984870

>>83332665
that's probably news, especially since a vtuber was involved
>>83087875

>>83088226

>>83088226
Might be the last for awhile...
...Also might not be around when the thread hits the bump limit, and it might happen at a time of day we seem to not have a lot of bakers.

>>83328747
Yotsuba mourning lmao

>>83335981
Phasefags riled up the holofags after >>83248664 was exposed so this is what we call shitposting escalation

>>83343136
I'm currently adding to smol Ame's roundup from the other day in anticipation of baking. I'm trying to work out where to put the NijiEN fan survey - 'Nijisanji' would be the obvious option but with it not being an official survey I don't know whether to include it under that heading or 'Other'

>>83345246
it involves niji so put it under niji, just mention it's a fan thing

>>83345246
Probably under Nijisanji. It's Nijisanji related, and any and all unofficial news about Niji has gone under there in the past. Same can be said of Cover.

>>83088040
Spotter guide for VGTC 2024 is up, albeit over a month late. Picrel is shrunk down from full size due to size limits; full size of the guide is here: https://files.catbox.moe/mf7jdm.png

Kagurastocki Anon here, it's time for peak lunch report hours.

ANYCOLOR STEPS DOWN
Anycolor stocks fall back after their surge today as we head to lunch, clocking in at 2395 yen (-29) for their lunch break price.

COVER ROLLS BACK
Cover despite a good start is also in the red, as they head to lunch at 1667 yen (-24) today. But considering their previous performance we may see a reversal

OTHER
The NIKKEI stands down as they clock in a 0.68% loss.

That's all for this lunch report. I'm not sure if I should do a immediate closing report considering the bump limit however. But I'll probably try and fill the rest out with some news I find. Regardless I'll see you soon.

>>83327450
Which one is BEEBS?

Thoughts with a bump: been talking of how to mention the super schizo going around sending death threats while misusing a bunch of vtuber's work emails but digging around for tweets mentioning they got hit by it is a pain in the ass

>>83356479
I've only vaguely heard about Rica and notGundou being targeted, have there been others?

>>83087875
Amane Mina will be graduating from MAHA5JAPAN on the 28th. But will still be active as a independent as the IP has been given to them.

Saw a few indies pass by my feed with the same exact "give me X amount in amazon gift cards or I'll stab you" message as well but I didn't save the tweets.

Here's the round-up for today.

HoloPro
>Cecilia Immergreen interviewed by Anitrendz.
>Situation Hololive Vol. 6 is announced, featuring AZKi and Kazama Iroha.
>Holoplus EN app announced for release...Soon.
>Koseki Bijou suffers an SSD failure, delaying streams until it is resolved.

>Ookami Mio releases a new single "Shoushin Ryokou", along with a new series of merch.

Nijisanji
>NijiEN releases various seasonal voice packs from December 2021 to August 2022 for permanent sale.
>The NijiEN Fanbase Overlap Data Project, a fan-project by twitter user kiwiww76, is released, with a PDF detailing NijiEN demographics and oshi data for 1,752 poll responses. As of 8/20, the creator has taken down the project, citing that they do not want the data to be used to "fuel [...] misogynistic claims", and wished to avoid "very untasteful comments". However, as the internet does not forget, you can find a copy of the PDF here: >>83284038. Please note that there were some minor corrections to some data points (such as Kotoka's highest correlation chart) that were not able to be captured on the PDF. At the time of writing, these corrections are considered lost. Readers are advised, as always, to exercise scrutiny when presented data of this nature, as even the creator of the project notes that the nature of which the poll was distributed could have skewed the data, among other factors.
>Naruse Naru announces graduation on 8/31. All voice packs, merch, and social media channels will be discontinued after 8/31. This marks the 3rd graduation announcement in August, and the 16th graduation announcement in 2024.

Hololive ID will be ceasing operations on Tokopedia and Sociabuzz for selling merch and digital goods. Recommending customers to refer to their official store. Concern has been raised regarding this move, as some customers have said that compared to the former two it is noticeably more expensive with notable shipping issues.

theres shipping issues with the official shop? strange, i have never had an issue with them

>>83364692
These are responses from Indonesian customers on Twitter, so it may be different with you if you don't live there.

>>83364692
It's not really an issue with the shipping themselves, but the rather the amount that we have to pay for shipping. Local storefront like Tokopedia and Sociabuzz allow us for essentially enjoys the merch with local shipment cost (which sometimes offer free shipping) AND without the addition of tax and duty cost.
For comparison, here's the price of the latest merch that we have to pay in local eCommerce vs in the Holo Official Shop.

>>83365096
Ah, same reason as NA from before, I understand. Hopefully they open an office like they did here.

>>83365096
The toped price already including tax and custom fee. We just don't had to pay for individual items shipping price because they send it from Japan in Bulk and keep the stock in local warehouse.

Any bakers baking perchance? I was thinking of doing it myself, but I want to make sure to not make a duplicate thread.

>>83366286 (Me)
Guess I'll do it then, if anyone want's to pitch in a appropriate OP image feel free.
