It’s pretty ironic that it’s been over a year now since her former model from Hololive have been retired and now she is a member of another big company.
Double ironic that the overseas audiences demanded Hololive to have it’s own English branch, and now VShojo has inaugurated it’s first JP branch much to our surprise. We’ve gone full circle.
I am happy for Kson herself. Vshoujo is more freewheeling when it comes to letting their talents do whatever, which molds well with Kson’s style of content making. As opposed to the generally tight leased approach on their talents many Japanese counterparts tend to go with. But it’s also because of that freewheeling nature… There has been some issues with their talents doing and saying some questionable things…
There has also been some controversies surrounding the company Vshoujo itself, especially over how they mishandled an incident where their talents were doxxed. They went after the guy who was trying to stop the doc instead of the doxxers. That problem has since been resolved.
Vshoujo also needs to be aware that Japan is a far different market in terms of mentality compared to the western markets. Whereas in the US for example, celebrities and brands that make political statements is generally seen as a normal behaviors.
But in Japan, it’s an absolute NO GO, as Japanese brand sponsors are usually adverse to controversies and are notoriously protective of their brand image.
Kson/Coco is a special case as she not only left Hololive a year ago, it was on the best terms possible. Rushia didn’t leave Hololive so much as she was fired. Add to that her infamously obsessive fanbase, which was very damaging to her mental and emotional health, and I can probably guess she wants to be as incognito as possible.
For all love of the gods, I actually quite like Takanashi Kiara. But her fans always get on my nerves. Over hundreds of years can not forgive a certain German-Austrian frenemyship. Nevertheless, I wish her Alles Gute zum Geburtstag (happy birthday)! ;-)
Anyone here play Holocure? It looks like a fun game. I kinda want to play it but it doesn’t support game controller (please correct me if I’m wrong). It also doesn’t have any achievements yet (once again, please correct me if I’m wrong).
(laughs) I just downloaded it and tried it out. Survived four minutes as Calli. Funny. I’ll try it out a little more one day later. First impression was very good. I just somehow had no sound. :-/

She gradually grew on me.
Added for the fact she is a rare extrovert among a sea of introverts. Scatter brained and weird. She does have a pretty elaborate way of telling her life experiences. Not to mention she’s Tri-Lingual. That itself is impressive.

News like these always makes my heart drop. But vtubers are humans too, not machines that work almost perfectly for their watchers.
I knew this would happen mostly because of her inactivity, mostly streams once a week and having few supporters with her. Now we found out she’s having trouble with her duties, quitting was inevitably her last option left. I wish her the best for her futures.
I find it funny JWST releasing their first full colored image of the distant galaxies of the universe coinciding with the annoucement of departure of an entity representing the embodiment of the universe herself.
