I mean, we can all assume what this is. Can't say I'm suprised, she hasn't been super active the past few months

It's kinda feeling like corporate vtubing is dying.

While the indie scene is exploding, with smaller, but far more numerous, streamers.

Plus, indies have full control, own their own IP, are able to decide what to play and when, and with who.

Indeed, I think a lot of them are realising that if they go a lot of their fans will follow them so they're more open to the idea compared to before when maybe it wasn't as guaranteed.

There's always advantages to being indie or corporate, but having that fanbase follow you going back to indie eliminates a lot of the biggest disadvantages of being indie so I'm not suprised that so many corporate vtubers are leaving.

Please let it be a long hiatus

That's what worries me, what could her throat issue be if it's been ongoing for at least one year, and if it can't be cured even waiting for months?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

mumei (the song) is one of the EN songs that really touched me, and I've played it over a thousand times according to my stats (over two thousand if you count a couple of remixes of it).

Will miss her o7

Oh god. I’m not ready for this.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Aaaand it’s confirmed.

The hoomans I asked also seem to be fairly calm, so there's still hope

I mean, why would she announce it like this though…? Especially if it’s something she already said.

I hope they’re right but my copium has run dry from recent happenings…

[–] ShadowCat@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It also says in the description that it has been translated to Japanese by Bae, I don't think a hiatus announcement would need to be translated but hope I'm wrong

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Well, maybe…? It would still be an “important announcement”, especially if we’re talking 6-months or longer.

The chances are still very, very slim though.
