>>71446201I get what you're saying, but CN's market is full of brainwashed nationalist faggots, so it's a stupidly volatile market in general. KR is generally more stable in that respect, because their chief export is K-Pop (and plastic surgery). I think Cover's whole "idol" branding, at least in part, makes them going for a K-Pop angle with a potential KR branch more viable than... whatever the shit Niji did.
>>71446630I think EN is just as likely as basically any branch at the end of the day to have poached members. I'm operating under assumption that people in Cover are actively keeping an eye on the talents of their competitors anyway (vetting collabs at the very least) so it'd just be a check as to who is responsible. I do also think it depends on how much Cover takes advantage of a hypothetical liquidation of their biggest competition. If it's just buying up assets of select talents, it'd be as simple as whichever they're interested in, and it'd likely be a smaller pool. If it was closer to a merger/acquisition, they'd have to do the hard work of going through all of the shit Anycolor left them anyway.
>>71447752As the other anon said, it comes down to how Cover would handle cleaning up the situation. While Mumei would have a clear bias, other talents may be cool with the alleged bullies behind the scenes, we don't know. Mumei actively still follows all of the Niji girls on Twitter, which I would assume she is not contractually obligated to do. I know that isn't saying a lot, but I mean, even Advent follows basically all of the NijiEN accounts, and they didn't have to. Hell, Nerissa and Kiara did a collab involving Elira back during the time Doki was recovering from her attempts at solving sudoku, which Mumei likely very much could have alerted them of privately. Assuming Elira is at least somewhat culpable in causing Doki's mental health to reach that point (which is only vaguely backed up because we only know her name was in Doki's document, and that one of Doki's friends said they "self reported," which, sorry, is just hearsay until we see even a redacted version of that document), unless that collab was scheduled super far in advance and couldn't be changed (which I find hard to believe, collab stuff changes last minute all the damn time), it's likely that only Mumei is the only one who'd care, and she has the choice to not engage.
Again, I'm not saying any of that to defend Elira, I'm just trying to be objective about how much Mumei can influence the decisions of who her company hires, and how much the other talents are directly affected by Doki's self deletion attempts. There's not enough evidence to suggest that Mumei would be able to sway internal opinions, because sometimes your friends are shitty to your other friends, and rarely does that mean you should disengage with either party if you're not directly or indirectly involved.
>>71448185Yeah, basically. As I just more or less said: sometimes your friends are extremely shitty to one another, but you stay friends with both of them because it isn't really your business.
