Welcome to /news/, your only source for events in the chuuba world.
Hololive
>Yagoo has an interview with Anime Corner, a news website covering JP news for EOPs.
>Mio provides an update on her health condition, stating that she has an internal organ disease, and is planning to talk with Hololive after her release from the hospital.
>Gura streams Subnautica on 5/25.
>Ollie debuts the 3.0 of her L2D model.
>La+ Darkness hosted her 2024 Birthday Live 3D event on 5/25.
>GAMERS fes. started in its first day.
>Calliope Mori returns to streaming on 5/27 @ 9p ET, following her knee surgery. She announces a new album, "PhantoMime".
>Holostars JP & UPROAR!! release a collab MV of an original group song: "Kaleido Parade" on 5/25, celebrating Holostars' 5th Anniversary.
>Gavis Bettel, Machina X Flayon, Banzoin Hakka, and Josuji Shinri will have their 3D showcases and a follow-up 3D collab in June.
>Cover's Q4 Investor's Meeting Transcript has been released, in both Japanese and officially-translated English. Readers are advised to read the report in full themselves. An extremely abridged summary of the report indicates that Cover still considers itself in its "growth phase", does not feel that expanding their talent roster is currently the best path of growth going forward, and will be continuing experiments with Holoearth and other projects. They still expect to grow about 20~30% for FY 2024.
>Gavis Bettel of Holostars EN wins Wrestletuber 2024, but immediately loses the title to Unnämed, a surprise entrant, due to a countout. However, Dokibird confirmed on Twitter that they will recieve a belt as a consolation regardless. Wrestling enthusiasts note that belts cannot typically change hands due to a disqualification (such as a countout).
Nijisanji
>Nijisanji EN's latest wave, Denauth, debuted on 5/25. CCV Analysis points towards NijiEN still being largely on a decline.
>Nijisanji announces a collab with the National Basketball Association (better known as the NBA). 30 talents from across the company will each be assigned to an NBA team. Further information will be announced on 5/29.
>Alban Knox announces that he will be going on an extended hiatus "to pursue personal projects and growth". There is no confirmed return date, but he is expected to resume activities in late September/early October. He intends to pursue singing classes, Japanese study, and other aspects he intends to overhaul, to be "the Alban he should've been from the beginning".
>Tsukino Mito, Kuzuha, and Sasagi Saki will have a collab in KNIVES OUT, from 5/31 to 6/13.
VShojo
>StreamCharts reports that Michi Mochievee is the #1 Indonesian streamer on Twitch, with 907k watch hours. The next-highest ID streamer had roughly 24k watch hours reported.
>Matara Kan interrupts Wrestletuber 2024 as an additional surprise competitor.
Phase Connect
>Phase Invaders celebrates their 1 year anniversary. In addition to the expected merch drop, a group cover of "Party!!" and a short video celebrating the anniversary are also released.
Obituaries
>Warumono, a small Indonesian indie, was pronounced deceased on her Instagram account on 5/22. The report was confirmed by their vtuber mama. No specific cause of death was declared, but Warumono had previously been struggling with long-term stomach troubles.
Corrections
>Previous reporting referenced a "stream summary" performed by an anon of an Enna Alouette stream. Upon further review of the material and the referenced summary, it was found that a non-insignificant chunk of the summary is colored with extreme bias in a way that makes it difficult to extricate from the facts. We apologize for its inclusion.
>Previous reporting stated that Finana Ryugu is /here/. While the evidence associated with this event is fairly high, it is mostly circumstantual evidence, and was not found to be up to general /news/ quality of information standards. We apologize for any confusion.
>Previous reporting referenced complaints from Victoria Brightshield regarding her inclusion in the NBA collab (referenced in this very post). While the statement is factual, complaints on Twitter are not typically noteworthy until something actually happens, and this story has yet to hold any actual substance. We apologize for its inclusion.
