I just learned this from holoID nihonjin clippers on their YT post that according to the recent shareholders meeting, it seems like the investors are actually pushing Cover to do more in ID, perhaps even subtly demanding for more debuts by calling out how old ID3 is by now. AKA's recent shilling on JP business sites seems to working well as Cover's investors got spooked into believing that AKA has become a credible threat for Cover in ID and maybe even the whole SEA soon. Meanwhile Cover in their answer doesn't look like they're about to debut anyone new for ID, staying true to their belief that the current nine is enough and that what they need to do is to rejuvenate their presence through projects and events like Ignite instead.
Here's the TL for picrel
>Q:This is a question regarding your business strategy in Southeast Asia. Recently, while new offices are rapidly emerging and talent investments are increasing across Southeast Asia, your company has not expanded branches or invested in human resources since the debut of ID3's third-generation talents in March 2022. This raises concerns about the aggressiveness of market development and maintaining competitiveness against local rivals. Could you share your outlook on market expansion for the ID business in Southeast Asia and your targeted business scale for the coming years?
>A:Regarding Hololive Indonesia, some talents have reached a certain level of maturity, and we plan to focus on strengthening our local presence and developing new projects to enhance recognition and revenue growth across Asia. Additionally, we intend to plan events at appropriate times.
