>>43180072Considering they've made sure that their other talents stay reasonably quiet about past lives, this seems to be a special exception. Idol isn't a big, well established name, and she has more subs than all of their channels combined. It could be that they wanted the free marketing, and it could also easily be that she didn't want to start over working exclusively for their brand and not her own, and made this a condition for her joining them. It's basically a win-win for both parties, whatever the reasoning.
Not that she'd really have any other real corpo options besides maybe Phase, anyway. Holo only accepts homos anymore, Nijisanji is full of faggots that would tear her apart for mentioning loli at all or once they found out she brazenly covered a song with nigga in the lyrics, and the rest of the small corpos aren't even close to capable or willing to provide support for shit like song production. Plus Idol almost certainly actively headhunted her.
