Cooking for Laplus (Kazama Iroha / Hololive) [Eng Subs]

[@jairus280]

iroha thinking of spending her paycheck on a fridge just to accommodate lap... too cute... irohasu..

[@neostorm999]

Yamada without HoloX would just starve.

[@benebsbiagtan3357]

That's why she made HoloX.

”I have a small fridge, for one person!” Me, who needs one around as tall as me for all my perishables: "Uhh...not everyone lives off plain vegetables raw, right?" Granted, I'm unfortunately not within 3 kilometers of the closest supermarket to just walk there and back anytime I need something.

[@SeraphimKnight]

It's common in japan to have very small fridges for single-person appartments. There's often no space for much more spacious ones anyway and it saves space. Plus you often get small grocery stores within walking distance so you can do day-to-day shopping easily. AFAIK it's fairly rare to buy a lot at once since it'd be hard to bring the whole of it back, considering most people do not own cars in the tokyo metropolitan area. When I was there I just bought whatever I needed for the day, maybe a couple days in advance at most. It's rare to get big portions of meat that you need to keep in the freezer like we have where I live.

There was a fridge in the protagonist's apartment in The Radio Station that was so tiny I couldn't believe it was for anything but storing leftovers, even... Tokyo also has the power of viable public transportation which I unfortunately don't get around these parts. I have to settle for a bicycle I'm always paranoid about being stolen...

[@ElJoeMama]

If this does happen, i can't wait to see Laplus be completely dependent on Iroha.

[@JL_Loki]

Lap+ have the fridge so Iroha just have to move in with her. She can cook for lap+ and have the bigger fridge to use.

[@benebsbiagtan3357]

I like the Outro. Also I now get why you like her. She also has the same audience and the same sharp tongue as the Yowayowa God herself.

[@jonj]

She has the smug lowkey smug but actually yowa, gets bullied by chat but loves us all the same because she's a tsundere aura. Eh, that really sounds like Ui-mama LOL

[@hikun2837]

Laplus : iroha love me so much ~ ehehe ~ 😂

[@Pkfn720]

2:41 ooh naisu

[@jaywye]

2:41 Chloe's influence

[@realQuestion]

love that outro

[@konnichiwassup]

Move in together, problem solved (?)

[@okdk404]

getting married would also help (?)

[@yagooatthegoat]

Holox house, problem solved 👀🥳 maybe after things settle down and laplus finds her dream 44llddkk they can cancel their rent and move in there

[@Rodoadrenalina]

Ateshi senpai would be proud.

[@hlm1x]

Outro TSKR

[@davidy22]

Just mail her dinner problem solved

[@viiiRA_]

Wait, first paycheck? It's been 2 months 😨 I know L+ is a little...sloppy.. but imagine how more you'll save sharing a place.. L+ is getting a fridge and she can get her PC+mic..

[@yagooatthegoat]

It is what it is 🥺 i hope yamada can finally afford an internet plan now instead of using public wifi, I think most of holox use the same pc i9, 3070ti from some oem.

I'm guessing that finances from sponsorships & YT revenue and superchat earnings from their own channels, net taxes and % cuts from Cover, could be tedious and take time to come in. They do get a fixed salary at least but judging that the hololive girls live comfortably and often use their own money to fund projects of their own channels fairly often, we can safely assume that they make a fairly good amount after taxes and % cuts from Cover annually.

[@akaaoi]

Maybe she was talking about their Superchat payment and not the regular salary. It'd make sense for the Superchat to take a bit longer to start coming in, because it apparently takes around a month before superchat payments fully clear and Google pays it through, and then you add on time from the Hololive corp getting that money (since they'd own these channels) to then add it to the next vtuber's paycheck.

[@terror4842]

I've checked her stats and she made $300k+ in superchat since debut, if she really has to choose between a fridge and a PC she is getting scammed hard by cover and google.

[@yuraTL]

It's not "choose between PC or fridge". It's "which will be bought first". She declared on debut when her old PC went kaput that the first thing she's getting with her paycheck is a new PC. Now it may not be the first thing paid for.

[@akaaoi]

Google takes 30% of anyone's superchats, everyone gets scammed there. General consensus is that the hololiver gets around 35% (this has never been officially confirmed, it was based on a ballpark figure one of the girls once threw out), but since it's probably treated as income around 10% of that money they get is then probably taken by Japanese tax (20% if you're a foreign resident, so Calliope is probably burned there. Maybe the other EN girls not in Japan too depending on how they're paid). They probably also have mandatory unemployment insurance (in Japan, you can access unemployment payments when fired if you were paying the insurance while working), pension payment, health and other stuff that gets taken out at this stage too. so in the end they probably get around 70-80% of the full total's 35% of money sent in.

TL;DR: KZbin and Cover do take a large cut, but all the money isn't available immediately for it to be distributed. Iroha has a bunch of other expenses outside of her desired purchases. Long winded version: You're not considering a lot of things. Superchats are first taxed (rate dependent on the country of origin). KZbin then takes a cut of around 30% (It's in KZbin's agreement). The remainder is split with COVER. Superchats are usually paid out around 21-30 days from the date of the superchat. There's also the time needed to create an adsense account and the corresponding bank account for it. There is also tax removed from the superchat before it even gets split up. Cover also does a lot to promote the holomem. If you know of a lot of the vtubers prior youtube accounts you'll know in a lot of cases that the amount of subscribers they have is easily 10-50 times the amount they ever had with their original. Cover also provides a ton of other services such as managers, access to resources, technology, etc. beyond their brand name. I support a lot of small time indie streamers and it is a struggle for some amazing talents to reach 1K subscribers much less the hundreds of thousands being apart of Cover affords you. An ASMR mic nor a PC in Japan is cheap (a lot of the holomem spend over 500,000 yen on their PCs). There's a reason why Iroha is getting quotes on the costs. It's not like she's walking into a store or shopping online and just clicking on "buy now." Japan costs a ton to move. The fees usually involve: movers, first month's rent, security deposit, key money to the landlord, broker's fee, maintenance fee, guarantor company fee, property insurance, etc. And most of these fees need to be paid in cash upfront! Though the amount Iroha and the other holomem earn in terms of superchats and memberships is high and it will reach them eventually, Iroha does have a lot of upcoming expenses outside of buying new stuff for herself.

[@donutsdunkin3707]

This comment is so amazingly stupid, the talents are able to see super chats so you think they would be aware if 99& of their income are stolen

[@MrCreepjo]

Clover pays them a paycheck too so it's not all bad
