Tenjin Kotone is graduating but they are going to get someone else to pilot the modelhttps://x.com/kotonegami/status/2116850266700144984
>>115946328>GraduatingHow the fuck do people get this so wrong?She already graduated and was skinwalked for a whole fucking year.The Cardinal Sin of vtubing
>>115946328They should do that with Fauna, Gura and Mumei
Wow that's definitely a name I have not heard in a real while
>>115946328I was wondering why Sora didn't interact with her as much as before.
>>115946360almost like haachama who just had her 1 year anniversary of no streams with management controlling all social mediaher x literally looks like a bot account
Who?
>>115946328This is the future Yagoo yearns for.
>>115947393Thats totally different nijinigger
>>115946328Has this ever actually been successful? Like has there ever been a case of a corpo passing a brand from one talent to another and people actually staying?
>>115946360Fucking incredible how Kizuna Ai's case hasn't teach these jap oldfart executives any lessonGirl went from the biggest name in vtuber scene to a nobody after her skinwalk saga
>>115947830because the IP is more valuable than the person behind it. See Cover using their graduated talents to sell merch and gacha games and Niji with their acrylic stands.
>>115947895>because the IP is more valuable than the person behind itOnly to subhuman drones
who
>>115948186Nta, but he is, in his own way, right. In the vtubing sphere ip is a sum of the character (in this case Kizuna Ai)(A) and human behind (B). A+B (let's call it C). C is obviously more valuable than B. But C is loses value without B.
>>115951391Fuck me, forgot to mention that in vtubing it's not "a human", it's "the human". Can't really change pilots without disturbing the audience.
test
nyo
This happens with so-called "indie" VTubers, by the way. There's nothing but lies surrounding the idea of independence in the VTuber industry.
qrd??
>>115946993I don't see why not? Cover is a corpo and could do what they want with the model. They even used versions in the game.
>>115946328i hope she succeeds. this taboo has been a thorn in the vtuber corpos's throat because it prevents them from milking the vtuber IP once the talent behind it graduates. this will signal Cover that replacing the roomates is going to be an accepted norm so they can exploit the vtuber's IP forever!
>>115947814No. It's always been an immediate and persistent negative
>>115964010Kizuna Ai is still recovering from that
>>115946993I think togepega would make a good Fauna.
>>115946993and Coco
>>115947814Not as far as I'm aware. I mean, I can think of a few ways it could theoretically be done, but it would require that the break be an amicable one, when in reality it's almost always the result of a falling out of some kind. Aaaand given the talent behind a model is way too inextricably tied to it there's no way a fanbase would ever except their oshi being forcibly graduated and replaced by a skinwalker.
>>115947651explain how it's different. you can't.
>>115962467If Cover succeeds in relaunching Gura with a replacement roommate, it would usher in a new era of corporate vtubing. She could finally become the Mickey Mouse of vtubing.
>>115965859not him, but every tweet on haato's account has"担当マネージャーより"on it.They are not making in-character tweets and nobody is pretending to be her.
>>115964726No she isn't
Shame I always liked her but handing the model over never ever works
>>115946993It was tried once and it got big backlash and overall it didn't work out so noone wanted to be the next guinea pig. Definitely not the big blue dorito. Japanese in general don't like recasts while in America persona 4 revival is the 3rd recast for the same roles.Personally most of the time I don't even look at the model. Yes Mumei was fine but i didn't watch her because of the model.Then there is Kiara, i could see her say shit like "the other gura would have done this"
>>115946328whom
>>115968240You sick bastard. What'd actually happen is someone points out the change and the replacement gets lynched virtually.
