They're literally addressing what happened with talent like Gura.

>For instance, every VTuber talent brings their own individuality and creativity, but if employees were to see them merely as character IPs and mistakenly think that talents are only there to help realize their own project ideas, there is a huge risk of losing the trust of not only the talents themselves but also the fans who support them.

This says that COVER Employees should be aware that the talent is the important part of the IP, not the Employee.

I dont understand how managers had this much power, imagine if Adele had to listen to her assistant and obey her random ideas. Managers are there to help talents, also even if a manager did that how did a talent not have the option to go further up the chain.

I dont think this is a business where health or safety are much of a concern anyway.
Youre talking about a bunch of women that get paid to sit at home play videogames casually and talk to chat, its less dangerous than practically anything thats not remote work and I dont think cover pointing that reality out to future talents is wrong. As far as we know regarding concerts etc. of course thats a bit more effort, but cover seems to babysit them pretty thoroughly.
I get the impression that most of the HoloEN girls are just chilling and that only a few like ina and the jps are consistently and diligently working stressful amounts.
the only thing they dont seem to accomodate is preexisting chronic issues, be they mental or physical.
If youre an anxiety ball like saba and cant do shit irl without getting physically sick, maybe dont become an idol for a foreign company where you need to sing and dance in front of a bunch of japanese women and I think them just allowing saba to basically not work for almost 2ish years and still get paid is beyond generous. Of course, that was in their monetary interest to a point as well though.

its one concern that is very easy to take care of for a billion dollar company, yes. That does not translate to relevant amounts of actual danger either way though, even if they were actually doxxed.
Most female celebrities arent living in underground bunkers either. The "danger" youre talking about is hysteria and on the same level as internetclowns talking about "deaththreats" they get on like twitter when trolls shitpost. None of them actually pose a relevant threat to anyone's life, and internet celebs know that too, they just whine for attention.

Idols are usually viewed as replaceable products and that was how many of the EN talents were treated in the early years. Cover did slowly improve that situation but in 2022 it was noticeable that several talents were thinking of graduation. While the major graduation wave didn't start until 2024 it was the result of years of behind the scenes disputes that had festered

It's the same with manga editors.

With good ones, they can elevate your work and bring you to the next level.

Bad ones will actively hamper your growth or worse, kill creativity and turn a good manga into shit.

Maybe but nobody actually tries to cancel hololive for their mcdonalds stuff, a few nijibabas might whine on twitter but nobody pays them any mind.
It's always like this, Hololive got to play Inzoi when it was FOTM but nijisanji talents got torn apart by their harpies and couldn't. Hololive gets to do lucrative McDonald's deals but Nijisanji has to bow and scrape to their terminally online terminally unwashed SJW fans if they dare participate in a cute little hashbrown meme

this also includes the holostars. holostars management has been notorious for controlling their IP and shut down every lore and IP related project that the boys have tried to advocate for only to turn around and do nothing with the IP. it really does feel like they treat all of their talents as actual anime characters instead of humans who stream which causes a lot of the tensions behind the scenes and thus graduations.

So Tldr; its an acknowledgement that some of the managers were getting too focused on the corporate side of the business and were treating the talents as IP rather than individual talents, which is a big factor in what led to all the graduations within the past year or two.

If they are putting out a statement like this then I would think that there must be some more internal grumblings and they're trying to prevent another wave of graduations.

the thing is if multiple managers get that idea then why, where did it come from? doesn't sound likely they'd all independently think to act like that, and it would match with cover's long-term plans to try to be resilient in the coming years even if vtubing as a fad simmers or dies off. that's what they tell their investors they want to do outright. basically something like how kizuna ai was built up into a brand where they were using her for whatever like as a model for a shoe ad? yagoo would fucking love to see that.

but the thing is like how ai herself just faded away when she stopped making content, cover can't just prop up a graduated girl. rather, they explicitly do the fucking opposite of that in stopping merch of graduated talents. like if they wanted to keep the idea of kiryu coco alive they could have still made plushes of her etc years later and they'd still sell. they make new scale figs of waifus from anime that finished airing years ago and such, it's not unusual at fucking all. so I dunno what kind of cope they smoke when they make all their talent explicitly short-term in support only while she's actually-there at the company and then also talking about "brands" and such. fucking what brand. the one that's at risk of going up in a poof of smoke any day if the girl leaves? real strong model there.

so tl;dr none of this brand shit ever fucking made sense and cover claims to care about it but in reality doesn't really do anything unexpected with it in this regard. it's more like middle managers and producers who were taught about brands for years at school or were laser focused on them in old jobs trying to sound/act important.

nta and there's a lot of projection in that take, but the core captures what it says.

Reading the except from the screenshot, it seems like Cover identified that (some) employees saw the talents only as a means to realize their (the employee's) ideas, whereas their job should be to realize the talent's ideas.
And now Cover wants to fix that.


And that's correct. The talent should be the creative driving force, not staff. If staff knew how to make good content, they would be content creators, not staff.

I feel like western streaming culture and idol culture just have major conflicts. Other than FWMC, most of HoloEN feel like streamers first, and idols second, and a lot of streamers will always chafe under the restrictions placed on them during the endless search for content. Plus, western audiences seen to value individuals much more than any affilation, providing another incentive to just graduate.

Yeah, in the corporate world, it's very common for managers to start believing they're the most important people in a company, and thus come to believe that the people they have control over are there to make the managers look good, as opposed to making the company money.

The "xenophobia" part is that people get an idea of what foreign audiences will find interesting, but don't actually understand the foreign culture enough to realize why something won't work. Like, remember the Marvel animes, or how Square Enix's Left Alive (a Front Mission spinoff that was a 3rd person stealth shooter for some reason,) are both totally forgotten? Well, that happens because people start with an idea of what other cultures will like/what will appeal to everyone, and then get the suits get angry and confused when nobody cares.

Conversely, something with a strong self-identity, like Undertale and Grand Theft Auto, and appeal to Japan even where something like Microsoft's Xbox JRPGs did not.

Cover is making sure they never get another Gura for holoEN, by that I mean they wanna make sure all the future EN hires are gonna play the game Cover wants them to play KA move to japan, do lots of recordings and such, participate in 3D stuff after you move to Japan, etc. Keep them busy with enough things and other nonsense to where they lose consistency in their schedules and content output, so that not a singular person will ever blow up like Gura did and surpass the JP holos because it's embarrassing to have a random foreigner girl surpass all the old senpais on the JP side that have stagnated.

Don't believe anything they say, keep in mind the company grew very big at a very fast pace to the point where not even yagoo knows about everything going on despite the talents being limited and capped at a specific number right now, it's not like he needs to keep track of thousands.

It’s actually crazy how close EN came to being completely destroyed by Omega and his homos.

Actual Hololive fans had to push back against it for months and months. Getting called “fake fans” and “incels” and “unicorns” by people who barely even watch clips, let alone streams.
And to this day they still think they are the silent majority of the fanbase as they sit on Twitter.

Had holo fans not pushed back so hard against Cover and even the talents, EN4 probably would have been a mixed gen and Holo EN would not be far behind Vox and Millie and NijiEN in terms of stream content and viewership.

Didn't this also happened with the other girls? It kinda sucks that they are taking action this late on the game over this but I can see how some stuckup asshats would believe that they are the reason the talents are doing great as and shat on the girls.

Hope it was many since I doubt only a single person fucked the carriers of several talents.

Turns out Yagoo doesn't actually have any control over the company. A bunch of retarded investoomers decided to go full Silicone Valley with a bunch of retarded ass new directions and caused a lot of graduations due to the streamers not liking the fact that they don't get to have any input despite being the "products".

>how did a talent not have the option to go further up the chain
Japs don't allow you to speak to someone beyond your station unless the higher up specifically asks for you. It's an entirely different work culture from what we have here in Europe, but not as ass-backwards as what the americans have.

She was the right person, but you have to factor in the right place and the right time too.
