Now that the dust has settled, how did Mumei get away with refusing to give Cover-management's 'I. Am. Happy. Don't ask questions.' speech when Mori/Kronii/Bae/etc were bootlicking like their life depended on it?
>>93660937Not streaming
>>93660937I dunno, she seems pretty happy with CC. It's like she's found an actual friend who wants to do things with her. They probably both shit talk Kiara behind the scenes too.
>>93660937>like their life depended on it?For Bae and Mori, it kind of does, actually. If Cover fires them (which, remember, it can do at any time without recourse or providing a reason), they'll lose their work-visa and get deported. So Cover basically has a gun to their head and they know it.Kronii's just a poser.
>>93660937Doesnt stream. Its like gura, no one expects much from her anymore and the hoomans are too pussy whiped. Their thread looks ai generated, the poor souls
>>93661247She doesn't stream but she tweets often and joins other people's streams. I think she hates streaming, but she loves being on streams.
>muh bootlickingThe translation being “one who doesn’t tear down the whole picture for me”, not even for those that have had the personal issues in the past.
>>93661314She likes streaming, but she gets nervous when playing video games because of backseating.She loves doing karaokes, but Cover's fucktarded legal department won't let her sing anything she wants to sing.When she goes back to being indie, it'll probably kick off with a solid week of 2:00 am karaoke/shooting shit about game of thrones.
Mumei doesn't care because she's an automaton.
>>93661205>poserShe just dislikes fauna
>>93661552>he thinks being indie can cure laziness
>>93661552Holy excuses for a lazy whore Batman
>>93660937She called the office and in Gura's voice said that she graduate if they didn't leave Mumei alone.
>>93660937this bitch is just using hololive as /soc/she hates hoomans
>>93660937can't read company memos if you dont even stream, 4HEAD
>>93661205Mori's been there so long it wouldn't surprise me if she's just went all in and got citizenship at this point
>>93660937She was just enjoyers.
>>93662044best one
>>93661552>likes streamingyet avoids it like a plague and backseating is always weakest excuse.>Loves KaraokesYes but now her cough and her perfectionism is so bad that she rather do recordings.>indieshe rather go with whatever whale degree shes studying and never stream again.
She’s barely a streamer anymore, she’s basically using this job to hang out with friends which was her whole point of joining hololive in the first place
I've mostly moved on from her desu, I'll watch her karaokes though.
>>93662860This. And with two of her friends gone, 2 living in Japan and trying to be Japanese, and one who also doesn't stream, she doesn't really have many options. Thank god for her liking CC because that seems to be the only chance for her to even appear in streams lately.
>>93660937Mumei is an autist and didn't know what was going on so they just left her out of the promise memo.
>>93661552Just like dooby am i right?
>>93661048>actual friend who wants to do things with herthat friend already exists and is called bae, tourist.
>>93661048Why does everyone hate Kiara
>>93663063CCGG are proving to be both fantastic hires. Both are extroverts who are constantly inviting the others and breaking them out of their molds.
>>93660937bae and mori both live in japan on work visas. they never had any success outside hololive and mori has a multimillion dollar record deal tied to hololivemumei had a million subs before hololive so she doesn't care as much
>how did she get away with something that never happened
>>93664092Unironically I believe this, they probably only asked the members that would be cooperative with this kind of audience gaslighting tacticMumei wouldn't be able to deliver this kind of message even if her life depended on it
>>93662343She can't, she'd have to resign her american citizenship (technically, but I don't think holo would work with a criminal that lied to the government)
>>93661552Hooman you deserve a better oshi. If this was all true she would constantly do twitter spaces and enjoy the company of her community. She enjoys her hololive friends, her fans are an after thought she has to deal with to keep her comfy life going.
>>93661205Cover definitely can destroy the lives of HoloEN talents that move to Japan even more than Hololive JP talents. On a cynical level that is partly why they have been encouraging the EN talents to live in Japan. The chance of rocking the boat during contract renewals or malicious compliance goes down when they can literally deport their employees. No company will ever say that out loud but that is why they like having foreign employees that require a work visa. The more leverage that management has the more likely the EN vtubers are to obey while praising the direction of Hololive.
>>93662044
>>93660937because it's not gun to your head forced, it's "Well if you speak up for the company maybe we can do more for you"Moom doesnt want the r30 pieces of silver, Mori/Bae do. Kronii doesnt even care about the bribe, she just wants to attack
>>93664633because you got banned in global
>>93665040maybe this is why ina doesn't wanna move to japan despite having some close friends living there and being overall more convenient for recordings and 3d events.
>>93660937Gee, I wonder why a person that barely streams and doesn't live in Japan cares less than people that do. It's a total mystery.
>>93660937Mumei has a conscience and feels guilty about taking advantage of people loving her. See how much she hates shilling overpriced merch and went out of her way to tell members she was ok with them cancelling their memberships when she couldn't stream for health reasons. It's a pretty sharp contrast to holos who see their fans as a meal ticket.
>>93666071>other holos are willing to do their part to help the group as a whole succeed>other holos acknowledge that they are coasting on the company's reputation and ar grateful for it>"b-buh muh capitalism"
to be fair she seemed kinda happy during her last membership stream, a total contrast from gura's, even praising some managers (and some criticisms to be fair). Maybe she just doesn't wanna be involved in more drama just like she did when the EN homos debuted. Not to mention it is very likely her other genmates talked to her about the backslash towards them during the fauna situation, if bae vented about that with her members, I bet you she talked about it with mumei as well.
>>93666479Bae talking shit about people behind their backs, clearly she's the victim here
>>93666635yeah, just like any other person who uses an avatar online
>>93660937Have you considered that they each made the decision of whether they wanted to do it on their own?
>>93660937Because it's not worth it: both Mumei and Fauna are close to Number One (Gura). If you end up hurting Mumei and Fauna with both leaving in such a short time, Number One isn't going to stay--especially since her mental health has already been shit of late. If Gura leaves on bad terms you WILL get a Selen 2.0--not just because of Gura but because of everything building on each other in 2024.It doesn't matter how strong the JP branch is or how much steam Advent and Justice has left in them in EN. If Hololive hurts the mascot of their own company on top of everything OR Cover can't control the perception of the string of graduations and the question of the well being of the members, then the public loses faith in them.
>>93666776I did, but then I weighed it against the likelihood of 10+ people all giving the exact same speech, down to the same wording in some cases, while randomly breaking their usual speaking style and talking in corpo passive voice, within 2 days of each other by sheer coincidence.tl;dr - 'unlikely'.
>>93667212Suit yourself /shrug
>>93667072management have hated all the members of UMISEA for a while for being a bunch of top members who eventually said no to management because the stuff management were making them do was shit
didn't know this was the fanfic general
>>93661973>>93662004>>93662254>>93662706>>93664508>>93664890If you're going to keep hating on Mumei then I'm going to keep saying she's genuinely autistic.
>>93661552Despite what schizos have been saying about this, it's entirely possible that she's going to do indie as a side gig after finishing school. Hopefully that happens.
>>93667212dumb costume retard
>>93662706>Go with whatever whale degreeGreat. She should keep following her dreams. Hopefully she still does content creation as a hobby though.
>>93660937who cares
>>93661205Subaru said on the stream, “Whenever I go to the studio, bae is always there. It's like he is the manager of the studio.I think he was probably referring to a nearby dance lesson studio.For bae, the best conditions to use a dance lesson studio at a reasonable price are in Japan.It is possible that the cover company subsidizes the price.The trainer's salary in Los Angeles is $140,000/year, but in Tokyo, Japan, it is $50,000/year.Subaru says that there are many bento boxes in the studio for recording, and holo talents get a free bento box when they stop by the studio.It seems to be a privilege for holo talents.As is customary in the vtuber industry, the talent who hosts the event is responsible for the lunch boxes that pile up in the studio during the recording of birthday gigs and competitions hosted by the person himself/herself.The sight of the studio waiting room piled high with sisiro cup bentos and shaka cup bentos priced from $15 to $30 is a spectacular sight.Takane rui had an episode at a past commemorative concert where he failed to procure lunch boxes, and his manager rushed to a high-end department store to buy them.Of course, recordings such as HOLO FES are at the expense of the cover company, including the boxed lunches.The atmosphere of the streamer world of niji-holo's major v-companies and shaka in Japan, where the studio is busy every day, is different from that of the vtuber world in North America, where there are no studio recordings.The “atmosphere around Japanese vtuber studios” that bae is getting is something you might only get in “Hollywood Village” if you want to get it in North America.It is only natural that bae would want to preserve the current environment if he could use the dance studio for a reasonable fee or even for free.And it's no wonder that the holo talent in North America feel lonely not being part of the festive atmosphere around these studios.gura,ame,fauna... Even if the cover company says that the percentage of cut is the same as the other talents, they may feel left out when they see the money flow of vtubers around the studios in Japan.Of course, this kind of “money-dancing atmosphere” cannot be realized in North American studios. The price of a single lunch box is completely different. A $15 high-ranked bento for a recording studio in Japan is probably $60 to $80 in Los Angeles.https://www.furumai-bento.jp/view/category/price4Living in Japan with holo talent is heaven for a vtuber who wants to dance with a trainer.bae, kobo, holo-device 10 people...In that light, I think MINT and HOLO are a good match.
>>93662343No dual citizenship in Japan. She'd have to resign her US one. Good luck ever re-entering the US if she does so.
>>93661552It's funny that you think Cover should bend over for one random girl that doesn't like working and succesfully do what billionaires can't do by fixing Youtube. All youtubers, ESPECIALLY the biggest ones, are fucking deathly afraid of music even being hinted at on their channels because they know it can be the death of everything. Even with all their goddamn permissions it's still normal for Sony Japan to copystrike lives from Holo talents for example.
>>93670361>heI knew it, they are all dudes with voice changers.
>>93670361>Takane rui had an episode at a past commemorative concert where he failed to procure lunch boxesTreacherous whore!
>>93664831>>93670513>resignIt's renounce. Or rescind if you're hellbent on "res-". Fucking ESL board...Also a non-issue with the right lawyers.
>>93660937Sister…
>>93671916You actually believe Japs will change their citizenship requirements or ignore them because of "lawyers"?No dual citizenship period.
>>93672231The right kind of AMERICAN lawyers for retaining your American citizenship because you had no intention of renouncing it. And yes, it's literally what people do. Uncle Sam doesn't want you to stop paying taxes unless you actually really really never want to come back and have gone full gung-ho Winnie the Pooh Che Lenin.
>>93672373Have an updoot for stating something this retarded with absolute certainty, redditor.
>>93661632You're thinking of Cecilia.
>>93672632Cecilia has more emotion programmed into her than Mumei, Mumei is just a machine. A meat machine. Plap plap plap.
>>93672542Nigger, you're in a fucking bait thread
>>93665722After Cover "forgot" her work visa that likely destroyed any chance of Ina moving to Japan. She already has some trust issues with management so there is no way that she wants to give them more leverage.>>93666776There was damage control from multiple talents giving the same message while saying they like the direction of Hololive. That several of them went into detail about why the 3D recordings need to be made at the studio in Japan indicates that traveling for concerts was the main disagreement with Fauna.>>93667854Anon that is the obvious answer for why EN had so many health breaks in 2022 with Gura, Sana, and Ina vanishing for months. If you force sleazy coombait models (huge jiggling boobs, boob windows, and skimpy dresses) on western vtubers than some of them will ask for a 2.0 design.
>>93664530Don’t remember Bae playing games with Moom that often on and off stream, but okay(Not saying that Bae isn’t one of her good friends, though, they are close but in different ways)
>>93665040They're encouraged cause they don't like having to fly them out at the talent's expense and the talent's don't like being flown out at their expense being away from home and getting trapped by studio hort for literal months.The fact is the company wants to spam idolshit and that is at odds with the talent not being close by.If they actually cared about visas they wouldn't have fucked up Inas
>>93673380well that actually happened a lot in 2023 when they were in japan for like a month and their off collab week last year, not to mention that early 2022 was the the period of VC calls mid stream, there was a point when mumei appeared on every single bae stream with open VC except for the RE8 collabs with fauna. Of course they weren't that busy back then but you can say the same about the justice girls now.
>>93671186The other day, I caught Clara (if you don't watch Phase, literally Player-2-IRyS) singing a Prince of Egypt song but I haven't heard about Fishman being assassinated by Dreamworks yet.
>>93666776someone never had an actual job.
>>93660937She's the only one who got away with calling fauna a dick on the farewell stream
>>93661552>but Cover's fucktarded legal department won't let her sing anything she wants to sing.Why there is so many retards on this board?
>>93673015It's almost as if she's autistic or something. Nah that's not it.
>>93675997Phase isn't a real corpo
