managers should work for vtubers not use vtubers for their own pet products
stop accepting shitty product sponsorships like rhinoshield or pon juice

They're literally addressing what happened with talent like Gura.

>For instance, every VTuber talent brings their own individuality and creativity, but if employees were to see them merely as character IPs and mistakenly think that talents are only there to help realize their own project ideas, there is a huge risk of losing the trust of not only the talents themselves but also the fans who support them.

This says that COVER Employees should be aware that the talent is the important part of the IP, not the Employee.

>>104191372

The fact that this addresses employees rather than talents makes me thing this was a response to the Omega shitshow

>At COVER, employees in their second and third years are expected to step up as project owners – driving initiatives on their own. And it’s not just about taking over existing projects. They’re required to develop the ability to create and execute entirely new ideas from scratch. That, of course, is not an easy task.
No wonder the talents start dropping off after 1 year

>>104191372
>but if employees were to see them merely as character IPs

>>104192206
I dont think this is a business where health or safety are much of a concern anyway.
Youre talking about a bunch of women that get paid to sit at home play videogames casually and talk to chat, its less dangerous than practically anything thats not remote work and I dont think cover pointing that reality out to future talents is wrong. As far as we know regarding concerts etc. of course thats a bit more effort, but cover seems to babysit them pretty thoroughly.
I get the impression that most of the HoloEN girls are just chilling and that only a few like ina and the jps are consistently and diligently working stressful amounts.
the only thing they dont seem to accomodate is preexisting chronic issues, be they mental or physical.
If youre an anxiety ball like saba and cant do shit irl without getting physically sick, maybe dont become an idol for a foreign company where you need to sing and dance in front of a bunch of japanese women and I think them just allowing saba to basically not work for almost 2ish years and still get paid is beyond generous. Of course, that was in their monetary interest to a point as well though.

its one concern that is very easy to take care of for a billion dollar company, yes. That does not translate to relevant amounts of actual danger either way though, even if they were actually doxxed.
Most female celebrities arent living in underground bunkers either. The "danger" youre talking about is hysteria and on the same level as internetclowns talking about "deaththreats" they get on like twitter when trolls shitpost. None of them actually pose a relevant threat to anyone's life, and internet celebs know that too, they just whine for attention.

>>104194282
>Talents are literally what makes the company money, you think they would be divas of anything, but somehow it feels like they are at the bottom of the totempole.
Idols are usually viewed as replaceable products and that was how many of the EN talents were treated in the early years. Cover did slowly improve that situation but in 2022 it was noticeable that several talents were thinking of graduation. While the major graduation wave didn't start until 2024 it was the result of years of behind the scenes disputes that had festered

>>104196624
Rushia genuinely feared for her life and I don't blame her

>>104196888
that was an extreme case and shes a vulnarc with attachment issues. The paranoia comes with the condition and isnt actually her fault.
vtubers or streamers in general arent exactly getting killed in the streets, despite the alarmism.

>>104195839
Lol lmao even

>>104196888
Rushia in 2025 still has the highest superchat total in Hololive. She was heavily leaning into GFE far beyond was is typical for a vtuber. Cover encouraged that by selling wedding merch and lifetime engagement rings so the company itself was throwing gasoline on a fire.

>>104191211
It's the same with manga editors.

With good ones, they can elevate your work and bring you to the next level.

Bad ones will actively hamper your growth or worse, kill creativity and turn a good manga into shit.

And the latter is way more common that the former. Just look at what happened to nihei tsutomu.

>>104198817
Maybe but nobody actually tries to cancel hololive for their mcdonalds stuff, a few nijibabas might whine on twitter but nobody pays them any mind.
It's always like this, Hololive got to play Inzoi when it was FOTM but nijisanji talents got torn apart by their harpies and couldn't. Hololive gets to do lucrative McDonald's deals but Nijisanji has to bow and scrape to their terminally online terminally unwashed SJW fans if they dare participate in a cute little hashbrown meme

this also includes the holostars. holostars management has been notorious for controlling their IP and shut down every lore and IP related project that the boys have tried to advocate for only to turn around and do nothing with the IP. it really does feel like they treat all of their talents as actual anime characters instead of humans who stream which causes a lot of the tensions behind the scenes and thus graduations.

>>104198885

That's about it.
The reason being that on Glassdoor, ex-managers have tons of complaints all about how much power the girls have. Not to mention the entire debacle with Omega, which was so bad that somebody who left Hololive had to clarify that they WEREN'T him because it was affecting his reputation.

>>104199967

That's literally just different managers entirely.

So Tldr; its an acknowledgement that some of the managers were getting too focused on the corporate side of the business and were treating the talents as IP rather than individual talents, which is a big factor in what led to all the graduations within the past year or two.

If they are putting out a statement like this then I would think that there must be some more internal grumblings and they're trying to prevent another wave of graduations.

>>104200481

>>104200481
the thing is if multiple managers get that idea then why, where did it come from? doesn't sound likely they'd all independently think to act like that, and it would match with cover's long-term plans to try to be resilient in the coming years even if vtubing as a fad simmers or dies off. that's what they tell their investors they want to do outright. basically something like how kizuna ai was built up into a brand where they were using her for whatever like as a model for a shoe ad? yagoo would fucking love to see that.

but the thing is like how ai herself just faded away when she stopped making content, cover can't just prop up a graduated girl. rather, they explicitly do the fucking opposite of that in stopping merch of graduated talents. like if they wanted to keep the idea of kiryu coco alive they could have still made plushes of her etc years later and they'd still sell. they make new scale figs of waifus from anime that finished airing years ago and such, it's not unusual at fucking all. so I dunno what kind of cope they smoke when they make all their talent explicitly short-term in support only while she's actually-there at the company and then also talking about "brands" and such. fucking what brand. the one that's at risk of going up in a poof of smoke any day if the girl leaves? real strong model there.

so tl;dr none of this brand shit ever fucking made sense and cover claims to care about it but in reality doesn't really do anything unexpected with it in this regard. it's more like middle managers and producers who were taught about brands for years at school or were laser focused on them in old jobs trying to sound/act important.

>>104202545
There are worse places

>>104191353
nta and there's a lot of projection in that take, but the core captures what it says.

Reading the except from the screenshot, it seems like Cover identified that (some) employees saw the talents only as a means to realize their (the employee's) ideas, whereas their job should be to realize the talent's ideas.
And now Cover wants to fix that.


And that's correct. The talent should be the creative driving force, not staff. If staff knew how to make good content, they would be content creators, not staff.

I feel like western streaming culture and idol culture just have major conflicts. Other than FWMC, most of HoloEN feel like streamers first, and idols second, and a lot of streamers will always chafe under the restrictions placed on them during the endless search for content. Plus, western audiences seen to value individuals much more than any affilation, providing another incentive to just graduate.

>>104200196
>>104200255
>>104200035
There are or were obviously other management who agreed with Omega's view, who think it's their job to create the lore and character and the talents are just there to act it out for them
You can see it happened with Umisea, you can see how much the HoloEarth director self inserts and pushes his own characters over hololive talents
he literally made hos own obedient little gura character

>>104191353
>>104205882

Yeah, in the corporate world, it's very common for managers to start believing they're the most important people in a company, and thus come to believe that the people they have control over are there to make the managers look good, as opposed to making the company money.

The "xenophobia" part is that people get an idea of what foreign audiences will find interesting, but don't actually understand the foreign culture enough to realize why something won't work. Like, remember the Marvel animes, or how Square Enix's Left Alive (a Front Mission spinoff that was a 3rd person stealth shooter for some reason,) are both totally forgotten? Well, that happens because people start with an idea of what other cultures will like/what will appeal to everyone, and then get the suits get angry and confused when nobody cares.

Conversely, something with a strong self-identity, like Undertale and Grand Theft Auto, and appeal to Japan even where something like Microsoft's Xbox JRPGs did not.

>>104191211
This kinda reads like someone with very diminished sway lamenting about the corporate culture being different now. You only say something like this when you have no actual power to pull them into a meeting and yell at them.

>>104191285

>>104195994
labels also made their music contracts more draconian after Taylor Swift successfully bought all the rights for the songs she composed (basically pulling a Patra for the vtuber equivalent) labels don't like talents having too much freedom because they're harder to control.

Very standard big business attitude.

>>104215707
it's all capitalism at the end of the day.
the positive side of Japanese work culture is that you don't have to degrade yourself by pretending to be your boss' friend

>>104215900
wait, isn't that what's exactly happening at Japanese workplaces? like you're almost obligated to hang out with him on drinking parties if you want to maintain that clout and hopefully get promoted?

>>104215954
i know that there's semi-mandatory afterparties but i don't know how common it is compared to American workplaces
it's definitely one of America's more toxic cultural exports and Japan needs to stop importing it

>>104191211
Yeah the whores should know this is an idol company, stop lusting after cocks during work hour, or using company-given IPs to do it. It's just that simple

>>104215900
You're a moron.

>>104191211
the current culture is talent get fucked employees get a slap on the wrist for fucking up massive legal paperwork for foreign talent. Incompetent company run by retarded proto chinks that's just sinking and losing talent everyday.

>>104191211
Too lazy to read it.
Let me know when EN5 is announced or the homos get sold off to China.

>>104191211
So they finally admit the sabotaging Gura's pet projects at every opportunity was probably bad for the company

>>104215433
This is why even the brownfeets from whatever third-world hole laugh at some of you, burgers. You can’t even read first-grade shit.

>>104191211
surely, this will fix everything
it's totally not a national cultural problem

Cover is making sure they never get another Gura for holoEN, by that I mean they wanna make sure all the future EN hires are gonna play the game Cover wants them to play KA move to japan, do lots of recordings and such, participate in 3D stuff after you move to Japan, etc. Keep them busy with enough things and other nonsense to where they lose consistency in their schedules and content output, so that not a singular person will ever blow up like Gura did and surpass the JP holos because it's embarrassing to have a random foreigner girl surpass all the old senpais on the JP side that have stagnated.

Don't believe anything they say, keep in mind the company grew very big at a very fast pace to the point where not even yagoo knows about everything going on despite the talents being limited and capped at a specific number right now, it's not like he needs to keep track of thousands.

>>104191211
So they’re learning that the retarded autistic Jap managers they hire, and the unbendable demands they place on the talents have been the main cause of their most popular girls leaving what should otherwise be a dream job.

Good.
I’m glad they’re finally figuring this out.

>>104217882
3 years too late. and they'll never learn.

>>104218393
It’s actually crazy how close EN came to being completely destroyed by Omega and his homos.

Actual Hololive fans had to push back against it for months and months. Getting called “fake fans” and “incels” and “unicorns” by people who barely even watch clips, let alone streams.
And to this day they still think they are the silent majority of the fanbase as they sit on Twitter.

Had holo fans not pushed back so hard against Cover and even the talents, EN4 probably would have been a mixed gen and Holo EN would not be far behind Vox and Millie and NijiEN in terms of stream content and viewership.

BrownVTM and Twitter trannies, if you’re reading this, you’re welcome.

Reminder that Gura has been battling management since 2022, before she started her quiet quitting and making the "Ash Again" song.
They had plenty of time to adjust, but chose to push away the American girls.

>>104217780
It's fucked up because JP holos are fucking shit vtubers.

>>104191211
>Have the most successful vtuber company in the world
>Mostly due to luck and timing and the hard work of your talents

Yagoo please….

>>104218505
>EN4 probably would have been a mixed gen
Fully believe that the later Stars debut was intended to be mixed. They had to cancel that with all the backlash. Explains why only three and the long wait before another girl's debut.

>>104218646
i kind of wonder what would had happened if Cover doubled down and actually debuted a mixed gen in Hololive.

>>104218577
and so called talent freedom dead BEFORE the so called difference in management
really ? vshoujokek

Omegatranny was an example of what this looks like in action. First two gens suffered irreparable damage by background retards with an ego.
Hope this isn't just pointless corpo shit and they mean what they say. There's literally no business without the talents, they're everything.

>>104219630

Head managers should have mandatory streams to know how to interact with viewers and not make stupid choices

Man I know this board is ESL as hell but this is sad

Black company

>>104191211
i wonder how many companies are malding towards Cover for being an anomaly as far as jap companies are concerend.

Okay I'm clearly OotL. Exactly WHAT "happened" to Gura...?
Did she leave because her manager was forcing projects on her?

>>104231473
All of her projects were rejected while she was forced to do umisea shit. She didn't go along with the script so they made "umisea JP" and brought that othger JP whore in.

>>104231530
Cheers. Where was this leaked?

So... we can finally say that most anons /here/ not only don't watch streams, but they aren't even able to read what they reply to? Fitting, honestly

they never will because Gura was the culmination of the perfect storm of covid and vtuber hype

>>104235229
The biggest factor was her raw talent.

>>104191372
Somebody got fired.

>>104191372
Didn't this also happened with the other girls? It kinda sucks that they are taking action this late on the game over this but I can see how some stuckup asshats would believe that they are the reason the talents are doing great as and shat on the girls.

>>104235785
Hope it was many since I doubt only a single person fucked the carriers of several talents.

>>104191327
Turns out Yagoo doesn't actually have any control over the company. A bunch of retarded investoomers decided to go full Silicone Valley with a bunch of retarded ass new directions and caused a lot of graduations due to the streamers not liking the fact that they don't get to have any input despite being the "products".

>>104191245
japaneses are not xenophobic, that's just being japanese. Learn their history and culture

>>104194282
>how did a talent not have the option to go further up the chain
Japs don't allow you to speak to someone beyond your station unless the higher up specifically asks for you. It's an entirely different work culture from what we have here in Europe, but not as ass-backwards as what the americans have.

>>104196624
chinese right?

>>104238120
yeah, it was getting worse in recent years though. the japs hired a bunch of people for behind the scenes stuff that thought they were important

stop trying to micromanage the talents to increase manager prestige

>>104231473
She had enough when Senzawa posted the "Uh Oh" tweet, causing many to think she was leaving then.
But before then, reminded of Rust. She loved that game because it allowed her to be a gremlin. Even played off-stream often.
But on her membership stream, she announced she was no longer playing Rust. She would be afraid of breaking their rules. Hinted that she was reprimanded and new rules were added. Pekora hinted, saying veterans are no longer allowed to initiate attacks on lesser-skilled players. Management turning Rust into Minecraft caused it to flop thereafter. It was a great platform for organic collabs of all the branches.

>>104251409

They have a training program for manager clearly and that's what's being discussed in the OP, how is that hard to understand?

>>104191245
No, EN girls wanting to cut out the middleman and make all the money are why they left. Too bad they are too retarded to run a channel without managers.

>If staff knew how to make good content, they would be content creators, not staff.
We all know this is never going to be fixed because management by nature is full of sociopaths with main character syndrome just trying to climb the corpo ladder and hit retirement. Just think of any normal job and then imagine management actually helping employees below them and contracted workers to accomplish tasks instead of just trying to grind them into dust to increase ROI.

Nothing makes more japs more furious then being shown how little they contributed to their own "ancestral" culture
Hell, even the legendary O-katana's "muh sacred nippon tamahagane jacketed form folded 10 thousand time-a-ruu!!" was from some buck toothed Chinese blacksmith

>>104256674

wrong

also wrong, but they already believe Koreans are all criminals

which is why Japs are riding around in F-150s on massive street grids with no sidewalks

Their fashion industry is distinct from Europe
