>Ao is supposed to be the representative of DEV_IS>Ririka is taking her place in the new fanclub updatethe day of the announcement draws near.
>>104831738I still don't really understand why DEV_IS is treated as completely different from JP Hololive
>>104832520Stronger focus on unit cohesion
>>104832520Don't know if they still are, but they were supposed to be something like Project: Hope, but as a whole group. Not in the sense of they are a singing group or a group of VSingers, but more in the line of>We will provide you more fundings and supports when it comes to performance>In exchange, you will perform our songs, with less to no control over your official performancesThings might've (or might not) changed, though
>>104832785Don't remind me
>>104832764It's not just stronger focus, it's their entire focus. They can pursue other things solo but only after fulfilling their group duties. Ao isn't cooperating in this aspect and just wants to go solo.
>>104832764well that failed given they already lost a member
>>104833072Nah it's succeeding since they lost the one member who didn't give a shit.
>>104831738It's by DEBUT you dumbfuck
>>104833212The fuck does that have to do with the people chosen for the fanclub ad?
>>104832764LMAO the irony
>>104833212The funny thing is... Not really. Gura used to be face of HoloEN before she graduated and Mori took over.And Ririka isn't even natural replacement by debut order for Ao. Kanade debuted between them.
>>104832520From what we know based on what the members themselves have said, the biggest difference is in the brand direction, their contracts and contractual obligations. Contrary to the rest of the holomems they have no "1m wish" for example, a bigger focus on group music and also on earning money via sponsorships/marketing rather than streams, we also know that their cut is lower to the traditional holomem but get preferential treatment by management to get more of them instead. That said, the brand was saved by Raden and her memes going viral, because there's no telling how it would be right now if she didn't hit big with one of the most precious demographics for marketing, elementary school kids. Banchou has been doing real good too but not at Raden's rhythm while Kanade and specially Ririka keep struggling to find a commercial niche. And yes Ao is not coming back, a lot can be said about that but missing their first live and their 2nd album promotions completely?, she's out for good. And then there's flowgloss, which has failed to have their own "Raden" so far and suffer a bit from bad marketing, but with people like Niko and Chihaya I feel like they'll be fine even if they don't have any lighting in a bottle success.
>>104832520Because they are?
>>104834489now post he source
>>104834711Raden talked about it long ago though but I couldn't tell you exactly when, for what's worth it was a zatsu earlier this year and she talked about her trip to Austria too if memory serves me well.
>>104834489>Contrary to the rest of the holomems they have no "1m wish" for exampleBut they literally do?
>>104834304Ririka is the only other pizza gang memberthe other 3 doesn't collab with stars
>>104835279Hasn't she effectively quit the pizza gang?
>>104835279>collab with starsgrim
Ririka always looked like a better rep to me tbqh. I don't even dislike Ao.
>>104835279who's gonna tell him
>>1048352794uhttps://files.catbox.moe/8s2hg2.mp4
>>104832520Literally for the purpose of giving them shittier contracts and having more control over themThey cant FORCE original JP members to male collab, or participate in retarded management led things like HLZNTL,they CAN force DEV_IS to
>>104835279Bancho collabs with Stars, she did a Stars collab in Ao's absence. Also, Raden doesn't collab with Hololive, she still collabs with males, even worse males than Stars somehow. All ReGloss voiced support for the Homos before debut so it was never a secret Dev_is is the homo branch. Flow Glow seemed like a bit of backtracking but ultimately it's all the same shit. They will collab with males if asked whereas management doesn't even ask the real Holos. When management tries to pick off JP's for male collabs, they always deliberately target the least successful members who might have impostor syndrome or some other mental issues like Lui or Nene.
>>104836672>even worse males than Stars somehowIs such a thing even possible?
>>104838028You should have seen that fruity male with a voice changer having a drunken meltdown on her stream, most insufferable shit I've ever seen. A civilized society would have been put a bullet in his head then and there.
>>104836672>whereas management doesn't even ask the real HolosThey do constantly though. Homo collabs are constantly suggested to them as opportunities to earn favor with management.Just look at Lui: She announced that she's going to become an "artist" and immediately did a homocollab. Shortly after she gets an album and now a second one, with an obvious sololive announcement coming later.Koyori's most likely getting a second album and a sololive next year as well, since she told people to make sure to have free time in March. She too followed a similar pattern but instead of homos she chose to become the baseball holo who will occasionally have to male collab due to the other representatives being men sometimes.Then there's those like Towa, Laplus, Fubuki and Suisei who automatically just gain more favor by naturally doing those things without needing any kind of coercion.
>>104836596Aww listen to that little slut lie through her teeth.Cover didn't force her to shit on Unicorns when she was drunk and say it doesn't matter if they get offended because she'll just win them back by doing ASMR
She dug herself into a hole and has been trying to backtrack ever since. Even by doing ASMR.
i love my wife ichijou ririka
She also joined Hololive for the money and then had the utter gall to complain that she had to learn to sing and dance when she just wants to stream. As if it's fucking 2016 and Shiny Smiley Story hasn't released yet. Anyone who joins Holo now knows that it is.She's a grifting whore who belongs in EN except her accent is too thick. There's a reason she's in the runt general.
Ao is my favorite
Don't forget Ririka's latest yab, heavily exposing how most holomems are married.
>>104842944Yeah, to me
