i'm really surprised about vallure. they had good revenue streams as far as i know, talents were reasonably well accepted and popular, were they really hurting for cash that much? if so, how, seeing as they're releasing all of the IPs to their respective streamers and not writing them off as assets to cover themselves? something doesn't quite add up

>>112333221
How could anyone possibly think phase is failing

Oh boy, I wonder what next year's gonna bring

>>112333243
It's a ritual poster.
Phase is in a super stable position right now, with many fairly big (for small indie corpo standards) and very stable members.
Even a hypothetical Pippa nuclear meltdown wouldn't actually do much, unless she manages to rope in a bunch of the old guard too.
But I don't think she could even convince Tenma, let alone anyone else.
Pippa just isn't as influential as she used to be, neither with the fanbase nor with the other members.
And the latest couple gens are, for the most part, very safe, reliable picks.

>>112333298
iirc the ceo was one of the streamers, stronny. i think the best way of handling that would be to take on a sakana-like role of being a stream personality and random event, not as much a full time streamer. dissolving a corpo is kind of a nuclear option reserved for when there's nothing else you can do.

>>112333272
>>112333274
no offense anons, but that chart's painful to look at

i literally cannot make out which agency is which because whoever did it decided to fucking increase the white value for all the dead agencies for some fucking reason.

>>112333077
NijiEN and Holostars are on the chopping block
Phase is no longer profitable.

Damn, that's a rather large portion of agencies dropping like flies. Did the VC money finally run dry?

>>112333408
I know this is a shitpost, but I do genuinely believe that Homostars and Niggersanji are next to go under.

Dunno about Phase tho, not sure how healthy their financials are

>>112333272
Why the fuck are the dead agencies all white as hell nigga

Like, did the guy that edited the chart not realise that the background was white or something

>>112333240
Payment processors didn't want to work with them so a lot of that money was stuck either as inert liquid cash unable to be made into anything solid or frozen in payment processors for ages at a time.

>>112333077
there's an update in the vallure thread buddy

>>112333077
>It's been outdated for months now lmao
For years. Several japs agencies that started around 20/21 and lasted for a few years are missing. Whoever did this is clearly someone who only speaks english.

I appreciate that anon’s effort, but his attempts were ass, you have to admit.

>>112333944
That’s literally because the chart’s exclusive to EN, anon.

If we made a JP-exclusive we would quite literally be here all week.

>>112334163
no one watches en corpos, otherwise they wouldn't be dying so fast. someone needs to remake it for exclusively JP ones

>>112334205
Literally every other day a JP corpo dies.

What's going on with Vailure? Weren't they supposed to be releasing a new gen soon?

>>112334035
Looking at the wiki, Lucid Multimedia used to be V4 Live and was founded in 2020. But I guess this counts rebrands like Idol as a new start.
I also learned Lucid's parent company also makes cooling loops, Security systems and sensors for forklift trucks

They paused the auditions a week or so ago but it seemed they'd pretty much finished auditions - picrel. And then this came out of the blue. Nobody knows.

>>112334532
I'm not surprised it died with Stronny running it and billing themselves as a whore corpo and then barely putting out any porn but it seems awfully sudden.

>>112334318
It collapsed immediately after stronny couldn't tardrangle after being medically incapacitated

>>112334665
Stronny refused to let them hyper focus on a handful of paypigs via commissions.
Quite literally doing quantity over "quality" which only works if you have content.
Then >>112334799 happened and the rest is history.
Shame the idea of getting sniffed to the enjoyment of the sniffer is a fetish of mine and it almost became a calling card for the second gen.

>>112334897
not hyperfocusing on a handful of paypigs was probably the right call, it divides your audience into haves & havenots and means that those paypigs now have quite a bit of power to boss you and your company around. it might be good for short term revenue but would be cancerous to long term growth, not that that matters now though

>>112334489
tbf, idol wasn't just a rebrand. they were spun off as an entirely in a new company (FTW Entertainment) led by the former head of Brave US.

>>112333463
>next to go under
A shitload of those smaller corpos are going to tank first, and we all know it.

Play Asia and Opera GX still have vtubers but calling them vtuber companies might be a stretch.

>>112336098
What about Crunchyroll's vtuber?

>>112336218
Didn't they kill her off late last year?

>>112336029
>A shitload of those smaller corpos are going to tank first,
Nta and maybe, but I've been interested for the past few weeks looking at the merch situation currently in NijiEN
>not releasing lazulight anniversary merch without any announcement despite fans constantly asking
>skipping both lazulight and denauth anniversaries to release another wave's
>even fans of that wave getting angry on twitter that they're clearly not even trying anymore to produce interesting merch
I think even the remaining fans of NijiEN are fearing that the merge is near.

>>112336218

She never got an official graduation but the roommate has moved on

>>112334897
>>112335020
works for menace

>>112336844
Menace also is a solo act that is not looking to present as a normal Vtuber streamer.
Which is why VAllure failed because they wanted the prestige of being professional corp while also being funded by NSFW content.

>>112333362
From what I heard it is health reasons. Then someone said mental kekw now I dont know what to believe.

>>112337226
You cannot double dip with the whore card and being a trad waifu. Were they insane?

>>112337679
That's the thing they never wanted to be trad, they wanted the respect a trad company gets while being whores. To close the gap in perception between the two side of it.
But again, it didn't work because most whores are lazy and without leadership to keep them in line they don't do the work which means the admin costs don't get paid and no meaningful cushion can be built..

>>112337679
The way Menace fans act you'd think you can.

>>112337871
They all moved out and most quit their irl jobs to go full time so they did really well even the runts

>>112337679
they wanted the easy marketing and the money from nsfw not realizing the baggage

>>112336280
>denauth
>fans
lmao.
Lazulight’s main problem is really Finana not moving merch and Elira alone cannot carry them both.

>>112333531
It came to you in a dream?

I’m sorry, but I’m still flabbergasted that we’ve lost this much agencies already and we’re not even halfway through the year yet.

Apparently the last EN member of AKA Virtual graduated sometime ago this year.

So I guess this chart’s still needs updating again lmao

>>112333077
>hololive

maybe they all died because they can't pick original names

Oh that's pretty cool actually

>>112336280
>>112333463
NijiEN's been in dire straits for nearly 2 years now. I'm not expecting anything to happen any time soon. They'll keep hobbling on as long as possible since they probably at least make more than the maintenance cost.

>>112334140
specialite's year is wrong I think, its from '23 (and only the en branch closed last year if there is a reasonable way to indicate that)

>>112334140
Isn't MyHoloTV technically still around? I heard they rebranded

>>112333077
EN Vtubing died with thunderous applause in early 2024. Now we're just seeing the flesh fall off the bones of the corpse.

she's got the last laugh after all

>>112359417
it doesnt make much sense to give up their foothold in en and let someone else take over

>>112333077
oh nyoo

>>112355486
Perhaps an orderly wind up of operations rather than a formal bankruptcy with creditors involved, which wouldn't have the same restrictions on how assets can be disposed.

>>112333077

>>112355486
It's a lot more common now. A lot of the older ones keeping the IPs were just out of spite, seemingly, since they all imploded due to drama.

XD

>>112333077
>Specialite is Kaput

Only EN is dead JP is still active and probably not going anywhere anytime soon.

>>112333077
Is AKA Virtual EN still alive? Haven't heard anything from them. AKA Virtual themselves maybe on life support...
