>organize and plan
Several holos have come out and said how they're the ones planning for collabs and other projects.

>oversee daily operations
How many times have we seen a holo sleep through her stream? Or come unprepared for a collab? Or get their multi-video series dropped midway because some higher up didn't like it?

>customer relations
When things go south, it's usually the holos taking the full blunt of the blame and shitstorm. In fact, Cover's faceless and passive aggressive twitter statements end up stoking the fire even more.

What exactly do Hololive managers do? They don't even have a face for the antis to latch on to.

Like any other talent manager they help the talent arrange meetings and answer the phone and email for their contacts. It's like a I will have my people contact your people kind of thing.

What do you think they were? Talent managers are not the bosses of the talent like middle managers are in a regular company.

Idol managers work more like boxing or sports managers actually

>> No.4843885

People are under the impression a manager is an aid or personal agent. Does your manager at work wipe your ass for you? No. Their main role is to basically tell you what you can and can't do. It's a glorified Team Leader position.

the clue is in the name my friend.

just a bunch of money laundering to squeeze the most money away from the talents.
the artists, the streamers, the musicians.... they get bread crumbs while the higher ups get a banquet.

But Cover was never a idol company to begin with were they? Yagoo just up one day said they were a diol company now and all the managers actually laughed at him. Why do you think his dream is dead.

>> No.4844799

>>4844603
I think we should stop calling him yagoo. paints a picture of a man who cares instead of a soulless ceo that he had turned out to be.
his name is Motoaki Tanigo. and hes a very rich man now. he doesnt give a hell whether the anime streamers are idols or camgirls.

NGL, I dont get why they dont build up fake managers just so they can get them to 'retire' or get 'fired' when shit like this happens. They are already creating synthetic characters.. why not go the whole hog?!

o-organize p-permissions and contracts?
I always try to play devils advocate but defending fucking cover management is impossible. 170 people employed means you get roughly one manager AND one poor intern to delegate copypasta-ing excel sheets into power points PER FUCKING HOLO IF WE COUNT THE TALENTS AS STAFF. Who in the FUCK needs that many paperwork people for some accounting and getting some venues, the latter they don't even do that often in covid. Artists? Commissioned!

I get that the talents are intentionally hired as loose cannons sometimes but a 1to1 manager ratio is so vertical. Would be fascinating to understand what's going on.

they started out as a facerig-like company, the first gen of hololive were contractors paid to shill the product to indies, but then they realized they could milk them as streaming talent instead

True. Still, if they want to have their own idols that give money to them, they should at least manage those idols. They should, but they don't do it.
