welp, there goes your bocil market
now they'll less likely buy merch because they have to deal with shipping+becuk

Re-anchoring this one >>83291621 for easier report.
AKA Virtual is doing another AKA Game Show this month.
https://twitter.com/AKAVirtualOnAir/status/1825729476585730191
For those unaware, AKA Game Show is a quiz game where AKA talents compete to best each others in a series of a party games. You can check their archive here:

>>83363741
On the positive side I guess this could push IDmems to stream more because cover just made merch less accessible to locals so they need to make their bucks through streams

That's it for now! I did skim past bread for a bit, and re-anchor that AKA news, but feel free to add something if I miss other news to report!

>>83363741
bocil aren't the one buying merch, the purpose of pandering to bocil has always been to pump up your numbers to make it more appealing to sponsors

>>83363927
I'm pretty sure for most of holoID their streaming revenues are way too miniscule that they earn less from it than Japan's minimum wage, better wait for their paycheck than stream

I think this haven't got shared here yet, but AKA will also release their own twist on folklore medleys before their gameshow starts

>>83363516
Oh well, back to my usual proxies then.

Seems like VRchama brought up another thing to be concerned about Digi-Kagi, makes you really wonder if things truly alright inside that corpo?

Indonesia Comic-con announced another round of persale event for Holo ID concert. This time, they will be selling the VIP tickets as well
https://twitter.com/indo_comiccon/status/1826155943500894670

>>83368257
And I'd like to bring up this as well as another point of concern regarding digikagi
https://duniaku.idntimes.com/geek/culture/amp/aditya-daniel/kontes-masak-virtual-pertama-di-indonesia-taste-trials-tayang-juli
We're almost at the end of August BTW and we haven't heard more about this so I really hope this wouldn't be abandoned just like neojkt

yuk turun ke jalan wan, demi masadepan vtuber indonesia

>>83368477
I'd say the deal with TastemadeID didn't go well, so they quietly abandon it?

>>83369002
Yeah seems like there's a lot of quietly abandoned projects within digikagi atm? Nico did admitted that there's budget issues with neojkt below, but can the same be also applied to that tastemade project?
https://x.com/NCLYS/status/1826162632560357629

How are you guys doing, given the current situation? Still have some money for simping?

>>83369655
For the TastemadeID Project, we still didn't know whether it was DigiKagi or TastemadeID themselves that stopped the project, and desu TastemadeID usual contents are kinda dodgy and borderline content mills, so I'd say DigiKagi dodged a bullet there.
Or, maybe there isn't much budget to sink in order to produce the show itself, and both parties just agree to cancel the show quietly.
Either way, in the regards of DigiKagi current situation, I can only hope that they can stay alive. It's really disheartening to see a local agency goes under, even so when the one that went through that is a high profile one.

>>83370133
15k-50k every month for a simple "hi"
it ain't much, but its honest work

>>83370154
Agree, it always a pity when a potential agency run out of bucks and had to disband like Metanoia and arguably nijiID

>>83370239
Sociabuzz or supacha arigato? Read immeditially, read in a separate supacha reading stream, or not being read at all?

>>83370396
only used trakteer, it doesn't matter if she reads it or not, as long as she's happy :')

>>83370500
>as long as she's happy
Maybe not as of today, maybe just don't care :^)

About holoID, when will they try to get license collab with local merch makers? This is the best way for us to get a locally made merch that's affordable but I never seen one for ID while EN got some over the years

>>83374805
This ... I really want HoloID to do a collab with local apparel makers

>>83374805
bakal tetep mahal karena IP Cover mahal, walaupun HoloID dipandang ga begitu besar bagi brand lokal. Eh tapi sebenarnya secara internasional juga sih, makanya kan biasanya sekalian digabung kalo ada event besar/collab yg menyertakan talent antar branch.

Ansel starting!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zCL9HcbhI

The number is kinda rough, eh ... Sadly I missed Batxandr debut yesterday, so I can't compare it to Ansel today

>>83378503
I mean tbf knowing the BFE topdogs like Harris and Exu, debuts doesn't mean much but it's the grind afterwards that'll matter the most

>>83379188
Yeah, these Snowdrop talents are new, but I was expecting a trickle down effect since Batxandr had a sizeable following from his previous gig

>>83379336
I don't think Batxandr has that special Harris-Arion trickle down effect which really needs to be studied NGL, the fact that it manages to grow two brands in sol4ce and zona needs some deeper dive imo
