This trend of companies letting talents keep their IPs is something I hope that becomes popular.

Unlikely, only for an agency that will closing down or cause it to!... and don't even mention about Vshoujo, many of their IP's are already theirs and brought in/ gift by fan when they're join in and Its not even a legit Vtuber agency! many people have point it out so I don't have to!.

GiniMercury/Roza Coatl was allowed to leave her company with her IP, but that's the only example of someone leaving their company and retaining the IP. It seems to have already become the standard for when a company closes, to allow the talents to keep the IP. Tsunderia, Prism Project, Cyberlive/Aetheria all previously allowed their former talents to keep their properties. There's a theory that a certain ccg player is holding out for that to happen at her company.

Glad to see that Nene Amano continues her activities because she creates one of the best trigger focused ASMR streams I know! Even though I find the price tags in the stream titles and on the thumbnails a bit silly, but I guess that's just how the game on KZbin isˆˆ

@dreqdreck7531 Ай бұрын

What does "trigger-focused" mean?

@Blex_040 Ай бұрын

@@dreqdreck7531 ASMR triggers are stuff like ear cleaning, hair brushing, keyboard typing, ear blowing etc... kinda like what a foley artist does for movies and TV series. That's what autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) actually refers to because different sounds can _trigger_ this _reponse_ for some people. But the specification is important because there is another huge side of ASMR and that is roleplay (RP). That's your "Trapped in an Elevator with Your Thirsty Vampire Boss" and the likes. These are more like indie audio books where you as the listener are the protagonist. And I for example like to listen to trigger ASMR videos/streams (e.g. like Nene's) while working because it helps me to concentrate since I don't hear the dog barking outside, the neighbors vacuuming and so on. But I can't focus while listening to RP because my mind tries to follow the story. Many ASMRtists also do both, trigger and RP, and sometimes they blend together.

PK was a good company, and they made real efforts, especially the past year to keep going. And good for them for letting the talents keep the channels. Sadly, it's really tough to make this last. Big companies get the bulk of the attention and resources, and things like staff aren't cheap. And unlike indies, you can't treat it like a hobby since people need to get paid.

@stoneslayer9000 Ай бұрын

I wonder if any of them stayed in touch with the gen-3 talents and can now collab with V-Dere, or if the white-background stream they put out when gen-3 mass quit showed their genuine feelings towards those who would become V-Dere.

@Vandalieu Ай бұрын

The gen 3 talents left just before they announced that there was going to be a concert, so them leaving just before that makes me believe that they just didn't want to do any idol like activities. Plus most of the talents are very sad that the company is shutting down even some of the newer ones like Navi.

@megalodon7916 Ай бұрын

This is sad. Can’t say I’m too surprised, though. They were clearly struggling there for a while. They lost an entire generation of talents at once in April 2023, and before then one member of Gen 1 and two members of Gen 2 had already graduated, plus there was the issue with the member of Gen 3 who had been terminated shortly before the rest left. Losing an entire Gen of talent at once on top of that would be pretty devastating for any small company. They had Gen 4, but overall the company just wasn’t getting as much attention or attracting as many fans as other small companies like Phase. Yet another talent graduated a couple months ago. With such limited growth and significant losses, the moment I saw all the “Important Announcement” streams I knew it was probably the end.

Chad Kawai giving the talents everything. I mainly watch Nene and she single handedly streams and does the same amount if not more than like 4 of your average vtubers (no hate) Nene has a drive and love for this i havent seen in a long time. When she went to japan she apologized for “not being able to stream much” while showing us a schedule with 6 days of streaming only taking the travel day off and not doing double streams. i know all the girls worked very very hard but Nene put that company on her back and i think if they could have lasted like another year Nene blows up and brings tons of eyes to the company but thats just how i feel i know reality is different and real money is a lot scarier to spend than imaginary money. Im just glad the girls get to keep doing what they love and i hope the other employees are able to find new jobs and bring some kawai magic to other companies

Anything under the Brave Group umbrella should also be safe. The reason they're fast on 3D debuts is because they're a 3D production company before a vtuber company and seem to treat the vtubers as a tech demo for their other capabilities.
