>>79758926I find it incredibly funny that their general was created as a joke, then quite a few anons started actually enjoying the content. Now it seems they're doing so well because anons were initially laughing at them. Maybe negative publicity really does work.
>>79758926thanks for the correction, it's getting kinda late here>>79759523plus there are actually talented chuubas in there. pic rel, showing my bias
>>79759523It helped that the company was transparent enough in what was going on, despite looking hella suspicious.The entire reason people were writing it off is becasue it was some Literal Whos debuting in a wave of 30 on an app nobody had heard of that was iOS Alpha Only. It sounded sketchy as hell.

>>79760388Are all of the initial chuubas still active or have the numbers dwindled down a bit?
>>79746819Out of Stock anon here, slow day today huh? Let's have some lunch.ANYCOLOR DIVES DOWNDespite a initial surge, Anycolor is in the red at 2654 yen (-37) for their lunch break price. We'll likely see a stock buyback if past events are anything to go by, so don't start clowning on them yet. (Actually, buybacks are clown worthy. Go ahead.)COVER SUDDENLY SURGESCover has been making a round trip across the graph today. While they have been fighting to stay out of the red, they have been hit with a sudden surge as the stock heads to 1971 yen (31) for lunch today.OTHER NEWSThe NIKKEI is seeing a 0.81% gain today.That's all from me for now. I may not be here for the closing report, but if that's the case I'll do one tomorrow before the market opens. I'll see you sooner or later.

VShojo Japan will be opening talent applications on July 31st.To be clear, this is specifically for Japan.https://x.com/VShojoJP/status/1808365099046129917
>>79746723>>79792514
>>79792514Any predictions?>>79746723
>>79792514Again? Didn't they learn from the last time they tried this?
>>79792514Correction: they are open now until July 31st (August 1st JST)>>79792657I'm not privy to the JP indie scene but a quick list off the top of my head would be Sushidog, Delta, Yura Rikudou and KqsiiI have a feeling being at least bilingual with English will be a huge buff
>>79790309Major kwabbage>>79792514Would they escape the nepo allegations this time
>>79790309Couldn't they just sell it at the booth?
>>79793171Also, by Delta you mean green woman aka CEO of Sex?
>>79792657Mel
>>79793282Yes but it's doubtful she'd be joining. In truth nobody fucking knows. There is exactly 1 rrat though. Highping Monaca. Friend of Kson's who does a lot of physical stuff so she could probably get by on appealing to an EN audience even through a language barrier. Apparently the CEO of VShojo JP was drunk at a party and said she was joining.Still just a rrat, especially with this, but it could be that they want to debut 2 people and she's one of them with the other coming from this. The name /vsj+/ wants is Sushidog, since she's bilingual and an artist and is a big VShojo fan + started hanging out with them recently, but literally nobody knows shit and nobody here has any input on the process so it's a mystery.
