Philippine correspondent here. Interesting collab in 3 hours. The first such happening since the niji yab 9 months ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOLnlvwpmFshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCEia8R3wDI
>>90435831Besides Millie, are they all indies? I don't know Kaheru and AFAIK Kiichan is categorized as indie, so I don't know whether PVB is a corpo or just a circle.
>>90435831I guess from a SEA perspective it might be her first but her actual first outside collab was with Remia Aotsuki the week after she did the collab with Elira and co.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgraBNmtWH0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH-qPb52VV0I mean, I already dropped Remia at that point but that collab cemented my choice with no going back.
>>90437503I believe they are the top 3 flip indies in terms of youtube subs. PVB is a vtuber friend group, not corpo. The most senior flip vtubers are in PVB.

>>90434937>>90435021Fresh from numbers because I don't know a lick of jp. Sakamata is graduating.
>>90440243affiliation
>>90440428>release of new merchandiseoh she's just straight up graduating huh.
>>90440428Cover even explained that affiliation is a made up word for fancier graduation but it's still graduation nonetheless.
>>90434937>>90440428https://dengekionline.com/article/202411/25603>It was mentioned that they found something they want to pursue outside of Hololive and also expressed concerns about their health.
>>90440243>>90440428A wild year for Cover, even coming up on the end. I wish Chloe well.>>90441435Any TL bros here that can translate what she said in her stream?
>>90441574Basically that>>90441435She just said she has found something she wants to pursue outside of Hololive, and that her goals started to diverge from what she can accomplish there. She also mentioned that the workload is overwhelming as she has been struggling with health issues and her health had deteriorated to the point where she required regular medical treatment and was constantly overwhelmed by the job. Her throat is also in a bad condition.She stated that managers tried to adjust the workload to her but it was personally exhausting. She actually mentioned that Cover was very supporting throughout her time there and is encouraging her future independent activities.Also this is more of an affiliation as she can supposedly come back but obviously she won't, and she mentioned that even she doesn't really understand the terms and conditions.Note that I haven't watched the stream, but here's a sum up of what she said, several JP sites have already published articles with transcripts:https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2024/11/29/161936.html
The catalog will be insufferable for a while.
>>90437911Thanks.>>90439585Link? Live/VOD works too.>>90439916The archive at https://vt.rita.moe/news.xml has links back to the sources.https://x.com/hololivetv/status/1860186138377617683https://streamable.com/h63zp8>>90440428https://twitter.com/hololive_En/status/1862469080470757484
>>90435021The change in direction that Chloe was referring was when cover launched FooLy GooLy instead of proper JP 7. That was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

>>90442106If nothing else, I'm surprised it was her and not Laplus--although I haven't been following Chloe's health issues.>>90444924Well, that one's obvious; she powered through the health issues long enough to be able to time her graduation with her anniversary for the quick buck.

>>90434937Somewhat late Anon here, we got a week in review! Let's take a look at what happened.COVER SOMEHOW RETURNSDespite a rough start to their day, Cover manages to overcome adversity and see a strong gain for the final day as they close out at 2658 yen. Performance overall saw them initially start off in the red, but they would slow climb upwards before accelerating after lunch.In other news, Cover has release a transcript of their Q2 briefing which also includes Q&A Session. From my brief look over the Q&A, it didn't have much in the way of new info. However, Cover has said that the ratio for overseas revenue has increased from the 25% they disclosed from the end of the last fiscal year.COVER'S WEEK IN REVIEWCover ends their week barely in the green with a 6 yen gain for the week. Finally cooling down on their upward rise from this past month. However, this past week has been worrying as they stayed in the red for a majority of the week before being saved by Friday's performance. Has Cover hit their peak for now? Only time will tell.ANYCOLOR BARELY MAKES ITAnycolor sees a similar story to Cover, as they close out at 2141 yen (11) for the day. Their performance as mentioned, was similar to Cover but unfortunately wasn't to a similar scale and didn't make up for all their losses.ANYCOLOR'S WEEK IN REVIEWAnycolor only sees a small cut with a 5 yen loss for this week. Once again, enforcing that low 2000s status quo. We're still waiting for that Q2 report on the 11th in about two weeks to see something actually happen.OTHERThe gap between the two companies is currently 517 yen.The NIKKEI has it rough with a 0.37% loss.Trading Volumes for your Friday Afternoon.Anycolor: 465kCover Corp: 4.37 Million
>>90459271And here's Anycolor for the finale.That's all for this week, we got 12 more days before Anycolor Q2 report drops. So let's get through next week so that we can finally get to the week after, which has that long awaited Q2 report. I'll see you soon.
>>90459465Thanks anon!
