​@@gsigaswhy did she come back so fast I can understand 6 months to a year down the road? It wasn't even 3 months and the name Pikamee has a better ring to it.

[@KnightOfZero00]

@@GTA_500 She was probably offered a better deal with Vshojo much longer ago. Some vtubers graduate with the intent of actually retiring and only come back if there's a good-enough opportunity, while others graduate with the intent to transfer to a new company.

[@umbraemilitos]

​@@GTA_500 She graduated because of the VShojo offer. They weren't going to wait 6 months to a year.

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

@@GTA_500 The name Pikamee is owned by VOMs and it is associated with those models provided by VOMs. I think she had been fighting with Gyari for quite some time now as her last year with them she streamed less than a hundred times total. She then negotiated to graduate, (basically she was denying him revenue sort of a work strike) - she was by far the most popular of the VOMs project talents, the other three didn't have a combined total of 600K subs and she graduated at 700K. I think she took some time to prep this model and learn the toggles, she also spent time with her biological dad as she said he was coming to visit in April and since he's her Reece Pieces dealer she wasn't going to say no to having him come for a visit. And now she's back to work and given a slightly elevated potty mouth and what she thinks are mistakes and we're going like "nah we got you. girl, it's ok to say dayo". I think she feels freer.

[@TonboIV]

Henya having a secret identity is doomed to failure, because that secret has to be kept by Henya.

[@Nightmare-wo2gd]

It isn't, if people stop bringing attention to the fact henya and pikamee are one in the same there'll be no need to make a big deal out of it, we need to treat Henya as if she wasn't connected to pikamee at all, so she can grow as Henya, it's not really a secret but the constant "Henya is Pikamee" is gonna hamper Henyas success down the line

[@therealyojames]

@@Nightmare-wo2gd you’re overthinking it lmao

[@Nightmare-wo2gd]

@@therealyojames not totally, the constant comparisons to Pikamee is really all I see on these vids, and has been that way for quite some time. My point is that it really isn't that big a deal that Henya was once Pikamee, and that it would be more beneficial to her growth if we focused on what Henya has to offer as opposed to only making videos where she almost slips or does slip into a Pikamee habit

[@njkl3445]

​@@Nightmare-wo2gdHow would it hamper success? Chat shouldn’t go out of its way to bring up old things unnaturally to hamper new moments from being formed, but people knowing Henya is Pikamee doesn’t hamper Henya’s success any more than knowing some actor in a role you like had other acting roles before. Plus, prospective new fans of Henya can discover numerous old clips of Pikamee to help sell them on her talent.

[@Nightmare-wo2gd]

@@njkl3445 it would hamper her success down the line because it prevents people from enjoying Henya for who she is without Pikamees presence constantly looming over her every move, even videos like this constantly upload any slip Henya has of Pikamee constantly, she's constantly being associated with Pika, and this hampers success because it means Henya will struggle to grow without Pikamee being in the picture, and while yes it theoretically could bring in new people it's more unlikely that'd be the case, since they'd be more likely to find Henya over Pikamee just due to relevancy, Henya is being talked about and Pikamee is not, yet for some reason 98% of comments on these vids is people associating Henyas every action with Pikamee

[@Wyrdwad]

VShojo's not going to care even if she comes right out and says it. It's VOMS that's the problem, as she's almost certainly still under NDA from there. But realistically, unless she just comes right out and says "I am Pikamee," I don't think there's any real cause for concern. Any other slip-up is circumstantial and can be explained away.

[@klopferator]

I don't think VShojo cares very much. VOMS on the other hand...

[@グルイズビオ]

@@TheObsesedAnimeFreaks Even with it being a one-man show, trust me, she's under an NDA, or at least a contract with very strict terms that apply for some extended period of time after termination.

I wonder if she feels a little sad when she slips up. Wouldn't you if there was this big part of your life that you could no longer speak about?

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

Given she requested that she requested those VODs to be archived as part of graduation, plus her reduced output last year, I don't thinks she may be all that upset. I might be reading into it, she loves streaming that's for sure, but I think she had issues with VOMs, probably nothing major but a bit.

[@Monado6]

It's hard

[@Scudboy17]

Considering how she plays into during her streams and has toggles ready when it happens she's probably having some fun with it. Of course she wants to have a new identity and I support that, but it's going to happen. Every VTuber with an alt account has slipped up on occasion. It's no big deal really.

[@kwizzeh]

@@EndoftheBeginning17 I'm beginning believe she wanted to do more with VOMS, but they simple didn't have the means or budget to do it. I remember reading it was difficult to setup EN collabs with other agencies due to the language barrier. Issues aside, it does seem to be an amicable breakup between both her and VOMS. With February and March was just a perfect storm and possible expedited her desire to leave earlier than initially planned (Gyari's presser supports this notion).

[@OrbObserver]

@@kwizzeh She wanted to continue evolving her content, but Gyari wanted to do everything in house like Hololive does, but Hololive has way more money. They had supposedly been working on 3D tech and models for over a year now and she really wanted to do 3D and didn't see it happening any time soon with VOMS.
