Link your Wish.. more like Link your Bank account.

I think it's no coincidence Kiararara talked about her next trip for Nipponland as this just got announced. Pretty sure Holomyths 3D Debut is bound to happen in this event with all 5 girls being present physically.
Now just hope Cake princess can read english and understands that she won't get into Japan without 2 (TWO) vaccine shots from their list which is either moderna, biontech or azeneca.




Note: she has not understood that yet.

I wish Cover adopt that (on the left) as Hololives new branding / logo.

Weird. Weiss Schwarz isn't a company, it's a product by Bushiroad.
I imagine the TCG will be a major focus in the event, otherwise, why would they do this?

holy shit, chugai mining, i remember these guys.

They have booths at comiket selling anime goods, and when i first saw their name in the comiket phonebook, i actually thought they were some chinese crypto mining company, but it turned out that they were literally a mining company, like, rocks/minerals

Rrat: The new generation of president is literally young, overachieving Otaku and is trying to shift his family business into anime and moe culture.

Cursed idol dolls that make you Superchat and call you simp

 

[Rezza]

Holyshit, Chloe just ascended 50k people singing what might be the most beautiful rendition of Cruel Angel Thesis in Vtuber history. She is so talented its scary

 

[Steinercard]

Looks like the chicken is trying to think ahead for when she has to travel to nipon land once again. I don't blame her to be honest, I have no idea when they are intending to do the Holo EN 3D but I cant imagine they would do it without all 5 of them being there.

You know how a vaccine is supposed to vaccinate you against a disease. This is a pretty shit vaccine if you have to take it 3 times and then also take other vaccines because Japan doesn't recognize the 3 vaccines you already got. Plus boosters. Plus the fourth and fifth shot you'll all be taking.

Meh, what do I know?

Ah yes, 'ascended'

They all do the same thing but work differently. In my country the two most popular options have different mechanisms so we can't mix them up or it'll have unintended effects. So it might not even be possible for her to take a different vaccine for her booster shots. Once her doctor tells her I sense a rant incoming.

J&J is garbage it has basically no protection after 6months. It's good that nippon is forcing her to take one of the actually decent vaccines.

Bea's 'learn to do a cute voice' stream just turned into an ableton remix stream

 

[Hmmpf!]

Prolly a dumb question but is Irys currently in Japan?

Yes, i think she has been living there for a few years. She also seemed close to Sora from the stream today.

I thought G from those bible belt state and incest was those psycho fetish already so what's give?

According to Higuchi Kaede, ad revenue is also split between the livers and the agency. That is for Nijisanji, but I imagine Hololive is probably the same.

View attachment 2770407

Nijisanji livers are not salaried employees. I would assume the same is true for Hololive, based on what Kanata said about her earnings prior to monetization. I could be wrong though.

If they're employees or not, I'm not sure. But they have talked about getting a set stipend as part of their pay. Basically a way to make sure none of them starve.

From I believe it was Aki Rosenthal's stream, it doesn't sound like very much at least in the early days. She mentions getting demonitized and saying it looks like she won't be able to afford bean sprouts for her instant ramen that month. Probably an exaggeration, but it gives you an idea that stipend is enough to not starve but not much more.

Hololivers are salaried employees.

IIRC Hololive talents are salaried employees, but their base salaries are minimum wage or below minimum wage. It's mostly just to help them get through while waiting for monetization (it used to take a few months before any one was monetized) or to aid them when they are demonetized.

Probably the same minimum wage salary type like food server so their earning is salary + their % cut on SCs, memberships, merch, concerts etc.

The catch is that when they have to file their own individual income tax, their extra earning is definitely more than their bare minimum salaries. For NA based girls, the tax system is so rigged in a way that if you are filed as single, you are pretty much seeing almost half of your money going to Uncle Sam or Uncle GAE Trudeau (what ever remains they have is probably not that much after all those cut).

Amelia's charity-driven stream for animal shelters seems like the best way to limit the total money going to Uncle Sam (if she's still a Libertarian like those meme videos). If they have a big family (typically Asian household), they can claim their relatives on their tax as well. Those money they earn might seem a lot but with how the tax code was rigging against single people and % cut here and there, suddenly they are not earning much against the same popular indies streamers.

Edit:

G finally cleared her own shadow backlog with this final song and I think she could totally use this song when she has her 3D debuts in JP.

Context:

This Aidoru song is easy to sing and the dance move is simple enough that unathletic like Tako can make it. Plus it's pretty lively and crowd engagement is off the chart.

Business diversification at its finest

Prolly a dumb question but is Irys currently in Japan?

Always has been

By the way, why aren't the HoloX received their monetization yet? They basically have all the requirements at this point, right? Is Youtube taking their sweet time processing it?

Yes. A week should've cut it.

Also Hololive Japan and Indonesia are currently open for auditions. Give it a try..... if you're from those place and a female lol.

Japan || Indonesia

They're all shit vaccines. None of them actually help against COVID and in most cases actually cause one to be more susceptible to the disease. That's before we get into the fuzzy logic of having to take multiple vaccines for one virus.
