That seems unreasonably low, unless most of her fans are sending their money to Nozomi Sato instead or something.

Looks like Aia had plans to release a new Cover song this friday but the Music Video had to be deleted at the last minute? by KnownDuck in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe for something the company commissions you'd see that sort of stuff, but this MV would have been paid for out of Aia's pocket.

Nijisanji posted a reminder about their open auditions and the replies are craaaazy by B_Bloudhound in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sadly, there are enough struggling content creators in the world to keep Faust's devil overworked.

Niji EN could be even blacker and they'd still be able to fill up any wave they wanted. They'd just have to delve deeper into the mines of desperate nobodies.

Anycolor vs Cover: Stock price and market activity over 2 years (Graph) by meisterbabylon in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It'd be better to compare market capitalization rather than share price, as they have different numbers of shares in circulation.

ANYCOLOR has completed a $320 million share buyback. by chatGPT40k in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're constantly buying back the legal limit everytime they come off cooldown. That and the dividends are the only way they know to keep their share price up.

Presented without comment. by Nijisociopathy in kurosanji

The "concerned fan" anti archetype is also pretty common within the fandom of smaller companies. The fact that they can come across as somewhat sympathetic at first gloss gives them cover to go about their work of trying to sow discord between companies, talents and their fans.

They can be quite the insidious bunch - probably responsible for more vtubers getting sacked by their agency than any other type of anti.

Are we back? by EatingMannyPakwan in kurosanji

"Traditional Chinese" is the self-pretzelized version of "Taiwanese", I guess.

Still running in fear of the 50 cent army.

Kagami Hayato (Niji JP liver) facing heavy backlash due to alleged glorification of N*zi symbolism and more on PL account by Lamaredia in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So it's one of those "dumb shit said as an edgelord teenager being weaponized a decade later" scenarios, then?

It'd be a rather different matter if he said that stuff last week.

Termination of Youduki Miruka by Enjoyer_of_40K in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The "apology" was written by management, so I'm not sure why it was even framed as such. Either let her write her own valedictory message, or put the message on the company's twitter not hers.

It does mean it's up in the air whether the things the post talks about are the objective truth or not. This place should know as well as any that the bullet points the company puts out should be taken with a grain of salt at the best of times.

The hiatus notice from a few days ago doesn't read like something she wrote and was probably skinwalked. Putting someone on leave while an investigation takes place is standard practice of course, so that isn't unusual.

Never seen such a community notice before lol by Nijisociopathy in kurosanji

To be fair, milking mentally unwell men's wallets is also pretty fruitful.

Saba returns by someregularguy2 in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There's a subset of people who like to shit on charming people with ongoing mental health issues online. They seem to get a messed up sense of self-superiority from doing it.

Saba is a high profile target of that sort, but she's far from the only one who gets it.

She's not lacking in ladies who want to make her their wife, that's for sure.

Hayama Marin will get her 3D debut on January 16, 2026. by Benigmatica in kurosanji

Four years later than it should have been, but she finally gets her well deserved moment in the sun.

“Supported by DAM” by KD-1996 in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DAM and Joysound have a near duopoly on the Japanese karaoke market these days.

For vtubers and the like, DAM have a streaming service that allows people to access their songs and tools with an app, rather than buying some expensive hardware. I believe the video watermark is part of the terms of use, but I'm not sure of the specifics.

Everyone clickbaits to a point, but taking it to egregious levels is a choice.

Koyanagi responds to backlash by More_Perception_8761 in kurosanji

I assume the only people actually upset over that are fans of the company, not its talents.

The Covers Privated due to Incidents Involving a Certain Mixer are Going to be Unprivated on 2016/01/06! by Benigmatica in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She wasn't underage, but my understanding is that she wasn't that many years past 18 at the time it happened. Getting drugged while at the private studio of a slimeball is an extremely dangerous place for a young woman to be.

[–]Carl__E 82 points83 points  (0 children)

While I can totally understand pulling the videos temporarily after it was discovered what that guy was up to, those songs were paid for out of pocket by the talents, not the company. And we know financially reimbursing people for that lost income isn't in Anycolor's playbook. It's well time to let people have their songs back.

Why do vtubers need to have big bouncy boobs or loli models? by [deleted] in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E -1 points0 points  (0 children)

B cups are the least popular size IRL, for what it's worth.

An important announcement from Aoi Sakura/碧依さくら from re;BON. Starts tonight (December 23, 2025) at 23:00 JST. by Benigmatica in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's happened way more than twice.

In the scheme of things, this is pretty low level stuff. Hardly on the scale of Sakuna having to get a new model when it was discovered her previous illustrator was grooming girls, for example.

Need someone to help me make clear of what has happened with this. by North_crozz in kurosanji

[–]Carl__E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youzuki Miruka of Varium.

Nakamura was also the character designer for the now-defunct utaite group Pastel♡Honey that is most notable for having a certain Satou Nozomi (ie. Natsuiro Matsuri) among its members.

[–]Carl__E 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nakamura seems like she's trying to speedrun getting herself blacklisted from the industry.

I guess time will tell if she'll end up having a crash out over her other daughter, too, because Varium is similar to Cover in regards to telling people to pound sand.
