2·5 days agoMight have to wait for the founding of Cover EU :P
A (slightly long) highlight:
Anime Herald: You’ve had a chance to receive some feedback from the fans. What have you learned that might change how COVER Corp. operates going forward?
Max Kim: We hear from fans all the time, over the years. If there’s one thing we’d want to enhance, it would be for users in the West to have better access to our merch and content. That’s one of the reasons I’m here. We have our own merchandising, as well as merchandise that we create via licensing. Watching the stream is one thing, but also being able to buy their goods.
In Japan we call it “Oshikatsu.” Supporting the talents that you love, not just by watching online, but participating in various activities. It’s very difficult to do that in the West. The shipping fees are high. It takes time. It’s difficult for fans to get their hands on the official goods.
That’s why some of the collaborations here in America were successful. We could provide the licensed merch for the fans, so they could wear it to the anime conventions and show their support. We want to make it happen more frequently so it’s easier for them to get their hands on it.
Anime Herald: That sounds a bit like Japanese idols. You support your favorites by buying the merch, or the chekis.
Max Kim: Yes.
Anime Herald: I can imagine why that would be a tricky culture to recreate in the US.
Max Kim: At the same time, here in the US, sports fans buy their merch. You watch them on TV. It’s not just about watching. I don’t think it’s as foreign as idol culture. It’s just physically difficult right now.
Anime Herald: In America, with rock bands, you buy the tee shirt, you buy the album, you go to the concert.
Max Kim: Yes.
I hope you’re all ready for Breaking Dimensions the breakfast cereal
I didn’t really want to dump this in as its own link and I know some people only browse here every few days, so you might also like Polygon: I went to a Hololive concert and now I’m convinced VTubers can do anything
The most interesting Q+A pair for me personally:
hololive DEV_IS was introduced in 2023 as a new branch that focuses on music. What do you see as the driving force of hololive DEV_IS and ReGloss? How would you describe them to new viewers?
hololive DEV_IS is not a group focused solely on music, but rather a group that aims to explore new frontiers. We hope fans will support their journey as they take on these new challenges. Previously, hololive’s music efforts have centered around solo artists like Hoshimachi Suisei and Mori Calliope. With ReGLOSS, we plan to expand into a new dimension by focusing on music as a unit.
For Chapter 1 of “ENigmatic Recollection,” an original realm was crafted within a sandbox game medium. The world takes place in Minecraft. You can watch as this new tale unfolds, shaped by the choices and actions of them, the 19 hololive English members! The details of the overarching “story” will evolve according to their decisions.
The members of hololive English will be role-playing as characters from the world of the same name, and they don’t really know what their characters’ backstories are. Let’s find out together as they play more.
So… it’s minecraft RP with supporting animations etc?
Now, being part of hololive with my Rosarians [The Bloodflame Kingdom] by my side, gaming feels like a much more enjoyable experience. I still don’t consider myself “a gamer,” but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Interesting how her streams are basically [always one out of] singing, games, or superchat readings, but she still doesn’t take the label.
Frothing at the mouth, what a way to go lol
TIL lemmy and mbin treat
~text~differently
I flip between Nerissa and Ame depending on a couple of 50-50 questions
Myth
Promise
Advent
- Bijou is actually Shiori (Xitter)
- Nerissa is actually Bijou (Xitter)
- Shiori is actually Fauna (Xitter)
Justice
- Cecilia is actually Bae (Xitter)
- Elizabeth is herself (Xitter)
- Gigi is actually Calli (Xitter)
- Raora is actually Mumei (Xitter)
I think that’s all of EN that posted about it
Speaking of EU getting excluded:
*Currently not available in some areas. We are working on providing the app to the European region including the UK.
So, uh, get rekt I guess lol
Someone (maybe you, I don’t remember!) mentioned how it was disappointing that the “World Tour” is just NA and SEA which is another example of EU getting conspicuously left out. I imagine that the 300% increase in EU members from Justice will help to shift things in a slightly more EU-friendly direction but clearly we’re not there yet given that EU-relevant info is having to be disseminated from the talents rather than from the company-proper 🫠
It sure sounds like she’s cooking, at least
Changing the font sizes, doing and re-doing the spacing, fixing the emojis etc unironically took an entire hour, help (wtb inserting multiple images natively on mbin)
Raora Pantherrorist: Xitter
edit: it turns out in the current version of mbin (it was changed recently) I can at least crowbar stuff into the post body of an image submission by editing it after submitting it, so we’re like 1/3 of the way there
Apparently the convention is a single set of square brackets, not two sets of square brackets, so I guess I suck[1]

It can do embeds, but I wanted an expando on a regular image link :(
¿Por qué no los dos?
loving some of these new tracks *_*
Well, it looks like I have to go back into the mines for a while* so probably won’t (or perhaps more accurately shouldn’t) be posting for a bit, and the popular 0 up / 1 down submission seems like a good place to mention it 🙃
Here’s the stuff in my queue if you wanted some easy submissions while I’m in the mines:
* I did try to hang in there as long as I could since it seems like when I stop posting there’s not much going on ): but sometimes the mines need some extra attention
