Realistically?
Their pool is really limited if they limit themselves the way they generally do.
I mean look at Mori and Kiara. Both in Japan at the time and bilingual. Mori had an existing small music following. Fuck if I know or care what Kiara had.
Gura was already a 1 mill youtuber on her own back.
Ame I don't know about either.
So Covers kind of shot itself in the foot for its scouting if they're following the same model.
Because anyone who hits high on youtube themselves is generally gonna be leery of signing on with Cover as it gives them no real benefit.
For instance I suggested Amalee a few times as a potential acquisition for Cover since she ticks a lot of the boxes they want. Problem is she's too successful for their typical arrangement to be worth it for her. And they're going to find that with a lot of potential talent in the English speaking world.
So they need to hit some who are good but for some reason unable to get attention. Perhaps those with some flaw that Cover can step in and cover for (like Gura and her inability to hold a rational train of thought for five minutes making it impossible for her to monetise her own success)
But finding people like that is hard. Harder when you consider who is likely doing the looking. What do we know about the EN management? Not a lot. But I can make some good guesses. A bunch of weebs living in Japan or a bunch of Americans with all the psych baggage that comes with being American.
HoloEN2 is gonna be a disaster.
