EN1gen and EN2gen had less streaming time (until EN3gen debuted).
Hypothetically, could there have been a “streamer's logic” swinging the cover company around?
At that time, there were few vtubers in the EN sphere, and the management had no choice but to adapt to their activity style.
However, with the arrival of EN3gen and EN4gen, the management was able to rely on the 3rd term and beyond.
I hypothesize that EN1gen and EN2gen may feel they are being neglected by the management.
My thought about the fauna case is “does Cover Inc. trust the EN1 and EN2 terms in the first place?”.
The management seems to trust MORI and BAE. As I recall, these two never bothered the management.
If the two hypotheticals “fauna does not trust the management” and “management does not trust fauna” hold true, then graduation is inevitable.
Talent is human. Management is also human.
In the end, I think it comes down to a relationship of trust.
If that is the case, I think the management plans to rebuild the group with some members from the EN1 and EN2 terms and some members from the EN3 term and onward.
In fact, I have not heard any rumors of graduation after EN3gen.
I think it is natural to plan to add EN5gen to these members as early as possible.
As a side note, there is a meme on Japanese vtuber forums where vtubers complain about “okimoti” (feelings). This meme originated from the fact that the Japanese emperor was not allowed to engage in political activities under the current constitution, which prohibits political speech in light of World War II, but when he wanted to make a peaceful statement in opposition to the political activities of patriots, he could just barely get away with saying “my feelings” in accordance with the constitution.
Corporate vtubers use okimoti to have their fans attack the management, relieve stress, or use it as a means of negotiating terms.
Management is also human, so I think it is inevitable that they will cooperate with vtubers who try their best without okimoti.
I wonder why the vtubers who do okimoti seem to think that they will not get back at them.
