>>35847683Mike never mentioned Delutaya by name, but it was clear she was talking about Delutaya due to the context of the conversation. Basically Mike was expressing frustration that the JP vtuber community welcomed Delutaya back with open arms, but Mike is still basically blacklisted, despite the fact that they both had similar yabs (leaking NDA, talking shit to dramatubers, relationship drama). She then implied that this indie vtuber (Del) leaked a harmful rumor about her to a dramatuber.
However, Delta still doesn't have a case. Everyone knows about the fact that Japanese slander laws apply even if he slander is true. However, the caveat of the "even if true" part is that the slander has to hurt the person's reputation publicly. One example was a Japanese guy suing Google because if you searched his name the top results linked to an arrest he had in the past which made it impossible directive him to get a job.
The fact that Mike said this on a private unarchived stream, didn't actually mention Delutaya by name, Delutaya was already well-known for spreading rumors ar the time, Delutaya probably has no evidence of harm to her reputation except a few shit-talking DMs, and the fact that this didn't get known to the general public until Delutaya herself made the fanbox. Altogether, Delutaya has no case. In fact, Mike probably has a better case against Delutaya than Delutaya has against her, due to the fanbox post.
TLDR: Delutaya should fire her lawyer.
