>>64081527Imagine, for a moment, that idol marketed Riro to the same level holo did Gura.
The design was equally or arguibly more cute and merch-able vtuber face.
they could have leaned into the denpa shit and released collectables like tape cassettes and stuff.
Gura disappears and holo covers it up and makes up for it by producing merch and animations and shit like that.
They could really have done the same thing with Riro. They had the ability to make music videos for her, animations, little anime shorts, hell they could have hired a bunch of people on skeb to make animated stickers for her or put something in gatcha in japan.
This shit isn't hard. But instead, they let her crash and burn on live.
