Geega Full Indie debut!
Geega, formerly of VShojo, is making her indie debut with a new 3.0 look. The video showcases her new design, which has a more anime-esque style, and discusses the various merchandise she will be offering on her Horizon's merch site. The importance of merch for VTubers as a source of income beyond ad revenue is emphasized.
VShojo big document leaked!!
A leaked VShojo pitch deck reveals that the company lost about $2.5 million in 2024 and has not yet turned a profit, despite aggressive growth plans. The document includes plans to license out IP and uses their charity fundraising efforts to attract investment. It also mentions unpaid talent managers and inflated projections for IP licensing revenue. The leaked document initially contained IRL photos of VShojo talents, which were later redacted. The document projects $3.6 million in revenue, with aggressive growth targeting $7.1 million. The cost of operations is about $3.2 million, including salaries.
Alex, director of VShojoJP speaks out
Alex, the former director of VShojo Japan, addresses the mismanagement within VShojo. He clarifies that he served as an advisor and in business planning at Cover Corp, not as the Gen One director as misrepresented by VShojo. Alex states that he was unaware of the financial mismanagement controlled by the US headquarters and that the Japan branch was blindsided by the events. He expresses frustration that payments to Japan-based talents were outstanding despite the ability to make those payments. Alex and the Japan branch president were exploring operational separation but it was too late. He commits to supporting Nova and the Japan-based talents to continue their activities.
GlobieFest Karaoke relay!!
Globy is hosting their main stage karaoke relay as part of Globy Fest, their virtual convention. The relay features various members of Globy, including Leon Ambrose, Bonnie, Tarn Turing, Raina, Alicia, Miel, and Mave. The relay started on July 25th, and viewers can check each of the members' individual channels to watch their performances.
Hololive Karaoke Relay
Hololive English announced their Hollow Natsu Paradise summer program, which includes a karaoke relay. The relay started on July 25th and ended on July 26th in Japan, featuring talents from ID and JP branches. Each member performed for about 20 to 30 minutes. The relay included a six-hour break to allow the community and VTubers to rest. Two of the videos from the relay appear to have been hidden, possibly due to copyright strikes.
Holostars Rio huge live 3d stream(not prerecorded)
Rio from Uproar celebrated their birthday with their first-ever live 3D stream with guests. Hololive/Cover gives their talents a choice between live live streams and pre-recorded live streams. The stream featured live performances with other members of Holostars and special guests. The raw, unproduced sound of the live concert is highlighted as a unique and desirable aspect.
Vtuber Showcase: Kyonko_VT
The VTuber Showcase features Kyonko_VT, a blue-haired Irish Android VTuber. Kyonko's content includes gaming and talk streams. The showcase highlights Kyonko's Twitch and YouTube channels, noting that their YouTube channel serves as a VOD repository.
