Please note the corpo and use full names, when applicable, to make searching easier.

ECONOMICS ANCHOR
Post about Merch, Stocks, Sponsorships, Markets, Economics, and Business affairs pertaining to the Vtuber industry and community. Whether corporate or indie, it does not matter as long as it involves Vtubers.

We also report vtuber advertisements related issues on this tag, including corporate ads or indie ads.

IRL/SPECIAL EVENTS ANCHOR
Post about concerts, conventions, and other special events here.

BOARD EVENTS ANCHOR
Divegrass, Formula, HFZ, Tournaments, birthday plans, cards, group projects, anything goes.

Any board activities you want to share go here.

RRAT ANCHOR
Post only the freshest, most delectable rrats. Nothing else will do.

Discussion should be avoided, as this is not news, but at best potential news.

Bump anchor, so you can easily hide any bumps that have to be made.

Please remember to delete any bumps that don't contribute, so that we can keep /news/ alive as long as possible.

Everyone who knows anything about relationships knows you have a ton of sex at the start and then it eventually drops off and people can often go a long time between doing it.

What does this mean?

It means that `Fauna` was getting fucked hard on a regular basis, probably doing it right before stream and right after. Gives the man time to recharge and his instinct to dominate her after the stream will kick right in.

`Nimi` on the other hand is probably barely having sex and is settling down. The intercourse will be more romantic and centered on trying to get pregnant, whereas Fauna was getting facialed, doing anal, swallowing, etc -- things that men want to do early in a relationship.

If you were a fan of her under her hololive identity you were getting cucked very, very hard indeed....

https://vtubernewsdrop.com/videos/interview-animenomics-richardson-handjaja-anime-expo-2025/
(Mind this was before the VShojo fiasco.)

>>102552485
I really had my money on NijiEN collapsing first. Vshojo really surprised me with this one

>>102554616
We used to have something like that weekly, way back in the day, along with a crossword puzzle. Had a funny name, but I'm drawing a blank on what it was though.

>>102547329

Highlight of Henya's statement from official clipper:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNxtwycTz2w
(Yes, she also hasn't been paid. Yes, she's also gone indie. I think everyone has now, at least on the EN side.)

Apparently Phoebe/the frog from prism project was another vshoujo talents who was supposed to debut alongside Tori, Beri and the other girl

>>102547488

Ah, I've been waiting for this thread to come up since I heard VShojo imploded. Crazy stuff.

>>102547329
>>102569649
Phoebe released a statement about an hour ago confirming she had passed the auditions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRM3_9Z9Qxw
Mint is going live now with her statement as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgde3wglIJ4

>>102552485
Michi Mochievee cuts up a statement and puts it on her official YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-blwfMg0Sw

Maid Mint, who has gotten a whole lotta help from Vshojo, is giving a statement as I type this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgde3wglIJ4&pp=0gcJCcwJAYcqIYzv
(It's really sad, as I don't think Mint would have come back to us without Matara and VShojo's help.)

Not vtubers, but probably worth noting that ConnerDawg, MoistCritical, and Asmondgold have all put up rants on the subject. It's also been covered in several large publications, including Sports Illustrated and Newsweek.

>>102547453
Mint has just said on stream that she approached Vshojo with the idea for an idol group gen, which Gunrun agreed with. This would be made up up vtubers who have not yet spoken out. Half an hour before this someone in the vshojo general claimed there were more vtubers lined up that had not spoken out and specifically said there was an attempt at making something like Hololive's dev_is. Someone working for Vshojo posted this >>102571692

>>102572510
Mint has confirmed that her and Matara were not paid for the merchandise from their podcast together. They did receive money from their patreon however. She is also missing the money from a later merch drop she did with vshojo.
>>102573186
Mint's group was also already supposed to debut but was pushed back multiple times.

>>102573186
>idol group gen
>On talent freedom agency
She should had applied to hololive or an IRL idol group if she was desperate to become an idol again. I don't think V-shojo would keep that running.

>>102572510
>>102572561
https://x.com/feebeechanchibi/status/1947855050833072318
VShojo had promised to fund Phoebe/Ami Amami's 5th anniversary album as it was to coincide with her vshojo debut. Her debut was pushed back but as she had already contacted people to work on the project she ended up having to pay for everything herself.
Even though her debut was supposed to have already happened her model, BGM, and stream overlays have not yet been finished leaving her with only a logo and some art.

>>102547453
Shylily claims that VShojo approached her with a contract pitch, but she declined as the contract negotiations went nowhere and the contract was just not beneficial.

Full explanation from a third party enclosed.

Yagoo has an interview with outer heaven
Highlights:

> YAGOO expressed that he was happy with the Dodgers event, both from a talent performance and fan engagement standpoint. It’s seen as a good indicator of growing overseas interest.
>He wants to host HoloOCG tournaments and gaming events in the US and overseas countries, not just concerts.
>Making pop up or permanent stores in the US and Indonesia is a goal they are aiming for, but it's depending on financial viability. No confirmed plans yet, still in the consideration phase
>When talking about collaborations, Yagoo says he prefers game-based collaborations, citing that they offer a wider reach among fans compared to other types of collabs.
>ID are joining concerts hosted by other branches in order to gain experience for performing in front of large crowds, potentially for a future ID concert.
>Regarding HoloFES style events in the west, he's interested in doing so but the costs to hold such an event is currently too high. If they can secure the cooperation of the right partners they will go ahead with it.
>HoloEarth is meant to enable online interaction between fans and talents, while the OCG is aimed at helping fans connect with each other in-person. Both are major focuses moving forward, along with supporting talent growth.
>A mobile version of HoloEarth is in development, but it will take a long time before release, as the main focus remains on the desktop version right now.

She goes on to claim she's owed enough money to "buy a brand new Mercedes Benz S-Class", claims she made more money in her first few months post-VShojo than during her entire time with them, that they threatened Vei with legal action if she announced she was leaving before Silver did, and that the lawyer Vshojo provided talents had an expired license, among a great number of other things, summarized in this r/kurosanji post:

Nijisanji tried to get someone to off themselves and involved their talents in the effort, which is hard to top, and, personally, I find that more reprehensible than embezzlement, however... If we're going by US collateral damage values, $500 million is worth quite a lot of human lives.

At least, in this case, the company is going under as it should, and the IDF has been more than compensated.

how long will the next OP be?

>>102673983
Well, we're cutting the VShojo section, but also they'll probably get a special section anyway. Might be time for the Legendary 15-page /news/ OP.

Jokes aside, the most annoying part is going to be vetting any story told, since everyone and their cousin is going to be claiming to have beef with VShojo. Lots of irrelevant "Gunrun once watched me stub my toe and then laughed about it" type posts that do not need to make it into any round-up.
Vigilance is key here. Try to avoid including feelings (both yours and the talent's), stick to the facts, and don't include your opinions or speculation. These are the times where /news/ is most vulnerable to losing the plot due to yellow reporting.
