Summary of Maid Mint sharing her experience with VShojo :

• Worked with VShojo during her and Matara's podcast last year. She wasn’t a member, but collaborated on merch
• Didn’t receive money from merch drops. Said “it wasn’t really about that” and let it go
• She and Matara still received Patreon income
• In Japan, opened up to Matara about feeling lonely and wanting to join a group or company
• Came up with the idea to pitch an idol group to VShojo. Gunrun was supportive
• Signed on "technically" as a member. They auditioned two others, and she clarifies it wasn’t Berri or Pia
• Team mainly worked with VShojo’s JP side. Progress was slow, but she was happy to be working toward a shared goal
• Adds that some opportunities likely won’t happen now
• Debut kept getting delayed. It was understandable at first but became frustrating
• Another merch drop happened. She again didn’t receive any money from it
• Stayed optimistic, thinking “it’ll be okay, it'll work out”
• Clarifies she wasn’t an outward facing talent, but says “I guess I was a talent for over a year”
• Says staff and former staff were mostly good people who didn’t know what was happening
• Eventually informed by the team
• Apologized for the trouble and hopes people will continue to support the talents
