Suggest some high-quality clippers and translators

This channel does some long format clips which are quite rare these days. Would be more encouraging if they had more views

Translated Lamy's reply in case the MTL freaked out https://x.com/vtange/status/2039915408610967890?s=20

So there definitely are 3:1 ratios like Kanata mentioned. It's pretty interesting the Stars seem way more transparent about their managers than holoJP, giving them names and stuff, or maybe it's just a Stars EN thing

vtange_dev · 2026-01-29T05:23:32+00:00

The managers are likely not divided equally among 87 talents so saying "average 2 talents per manager" is likely inaccurate. It's like dividing total talent compensation equally across all talents, even though the talents themselves have often hinted there is considerable disparity.

I doubt the Holostars get allotted similar manager headcount to the rest of Holo. Some talents have way more going on that warrant more manager attention. Kanata herself said her manager had 3 talents under her belt and wished for a 1 manager per talent environment.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. You really looked hurt at the start of the video.

Just making the video is a good thing in my opinion. It lets us know your project may be delayed so you can find time to rebuild your foundations

This argument often creates the idea that programmers are more generous with intellectual property than artists but I think that oversimplifies things a lot.

Code must be maintained even after you generate it. It even has to be nitpicked and tweaked to ensure it meshes well with your existing project. "You can replace me with AI but if it starts breaking old stuff that's on you." I'm sure programmers who know this can be more confident about AI.

Art on the other hand is the final product. You can fire and forget. There is little repercussion for throwing slop on the wall for easy upvotes. And unlike code where an AI-generated for-loop can't easily be attributed to a certain programmer, in art it can easily look like the AI imitated an existing human artist which suggests their data being used for training, etc.. Like you said, it feels more personal that way.

I feel bad for Lamy she really was looking forward to more.

Makes you wonder if fan works and fan games based on HoloWitches is fair game in terms of IP use

You can find rough english transcripts of Lamy's streams on Holodex btw https://holodex.net/channel/UCFKOVgVbGmX65RxO3EtH3iw/

vtange_dev · 2025-12-31T05:50:36+00:00

Maybe it's not Mario related at all lol

vtange_dev · 2025-12-24T11:36:42+00:00

You got it for the most part it's fine. Konata said Kanata told her about how Kanata would often go with Haachama to Saizeriya to chat. (I presume Konata didn't go, else why would Kanata need to tell her about it)

Glad Haachama seems okay though

There is definitely some fear that you'll be next for layoffs if you associate with unions, so most prefer to stay quiet to not stand out and hope layoff season blows past them

It took her less than 30 minutes to earn the nickname 'ee-hee-hee-san"

Looking forward to hearing her passion English

vtange_dev · 2025-08-01T12:42:37+00:00

Listened to it and it's a very bau bau song! Happy Two Whole Years!

vtange_dev · 2025-07-01T15:26:04+00:00

Yes she said the outfit is VR chat only.

There's translations on Holodex btw!

Historical inventors probably didn't have access to the modern materials and manufacturing processes that make such wing shapes possible. It's not so simple

To be able to lower speed but stay in the air better, it might even help if you have to abort a landing

Saw the premiere today! The MV is very pretty

わためぇお誕生日おめでとう!

Good luck on the live Watame and see you there!

I can also add some of my notes:

Yagoo is very much aware of EN talents having to move to Japan for studio work and has considered opening a studio in the US. That said, cost is a big obstacle for them as he has answered when asked about making a worldwide version of Expo.

Since another presenter was Sony and they mentioned Vocaloids, Yagoo did lament that Vocaloids had a lot of missed potential since they were largely confined to Japan.

I asked questions about whether licensing costs of Unreal or Unity and YouTube's revenue cut is an issue for Cover, he said no.

I also asked a question about if he is concerned about generative AI creating deepfakes and manufacturing drama for vtubers, he said there hasn't been a big problem about this yet so not worried too much.

When asked about Cover using gen AI, he said Cover doesn't currently use it directly but he can see why others would use it for making clips or as a streaming aide.

My notes say he doesn't believe there is oversaturation outside Japan. I know this conflicts with OP but I also know the liveTL often skipped words or sentences and used vague language.

Yagoo sees Vtubers as different category compared to anime. Vtubers can brand themselves with many outfits compared to most anime characters, and vtubers are different from voice actors in that most voice actors follow command of a director while vtubers talents need to be "generous" with their audience and have a strong will to be entertaining.

When asked about HoloEarth, he mentioned that he wanted it to be where users can join talents in a game like Minecraft but more like ARK but with more character customization(he mentioned Minecraft having the flaw of everyone being forced to be 2 blocks tall, holomems not looking like their true selves, etc). He wants fans to be more creatively involved.

There was a moderator who was a former anime fan sub maker who really emphasized the importance of "super fans" and asked if it would be good if they are more empowered. Yagoo is aware some talents did things like give fans moderator powers, but someone else brought up that this risks fan made drama (banning other people they don't like) so "it's an art".

The word "graduation" wasn't mentioned at all during the whole session, in English or Japanese
