So for Violet which is almost ready. Ina drew all the art for it. She gave chat a peek at one of the images not used but also said that they are all this level of quality.  New Emotes are done and look fabulous.

That is what Hana Macchia's does in almost all of her Zatsudan streams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxVwz6whEtw Also, Gura's new TTRPG character is a total country girl chunni. The only thing preventing her from going full weeb is that Gura took the illiterate flaw. While you were learning how to read past the 4th grade level, Gura's PC was studying the blade and forge.

Hellbore posted:Amelia and Kiara have spoken about the EN VSinger like they're still coming, so speculation is that Cover is producing a full EP for their debut and that Coco's graduation is delaying any announcements. Are you sure it isn't just a "I haven't heard different so I assume it must be the case" kind of situation? Because everytime I've heard en gen 2 brought up they've all said that they aren't kept in the loop for that stuff and don't know anything we don't. I suppose maybe they could have done some song collabs with the vsinger pre-debut or something, but in general it seems contradictory to the process as we know it.

So something I don't understand-why would Cover not try to produce merchandise for HoloEN that can be ordered outside of Japan without going through weird hoops? It seems like a bizarre oversight to start an English division, but still only market merch exclusively through Japanese sources.

HoloEN is popular outside of North America, and I would argue it's easier to ship stuff abroad from Japan than the US. What Cover should address is this habit of only doing advance orders for their merch. It's true that storage space is at a premium in Tokyo, but they should still try to have stock on hand to ship right away.

it kinda comes down to "holo en doesn't really exist as, like , an overseas thing so much as a division working out of the JP office". Outside of the talent themselves I'm honestly unsure if they actually have anyone working outside of JP/ maybe Indonesia.

It seems like a bizarre oversight to start an English division, but still only market merch exclusively through Japanese sources. As far as figures and merch goes, also pretty hard to get them without some sort of middle-man. I used to collect Sentai Figuarts and even when they were releasing the "Power Rangers" series it was mostly either Japan exclusive or occasionally in-store at a Toys R Us. Again, you had to find a middle-man to buy it and ship it to you (Which wasn't all that bad because they'd often write you personalized letters and send some small snacks/toys as a thank you for using them) My last nerdy hobby is Pro Wrestling, and trying to get ANY type of official merch is pretty impossible unless they're run by direct middle-men (Like buying shirts at Hot Topic or a one-hour print shop that somehow lucked into doing most of Japan's merch). Wrestling from Japan has slowly been opening up easy ways for foreigners to access their digital content, some are even doing English commentary for shows now but they're not investing much money into their international markets. Japan still feels like an isolated nation to any kind of outsider, even for CDs I had to buy through middle-men because the record companies would revoke rights to digital music I purchased (LEGALLY) through Amazon and iTunes. At one point I had lost over $200 of digital music through iTunes because their Japanese publishers just pulled the rights. If Coco's goal is to manage her own company and make it easier to access things internationally that'd be a huge leap since she's one of the most super-chatted and watched V-Tubers on the planet. No idea how much of a weeb she was prior to moving to Japan, but she's originally from the US and she's around my age so she probably experienced the same kind of frustration I had at getting any kind of official merch in America.

They use advance orders to know how many things they need to make, when merch is announced and put on sale they likely only have the final production samples for Yagoo to pose with. Then there's also the thing of people knowing that if they don't buy the thing now, they're almost certainly never going to have another chance driving sales. antisocial democrat posted:Is there any way this is actually true? Japan is great and all, but its a tiny island. The US is literally the biggest economy on the planet This doesn't mean it has any kind of international shipping infrastructure, I'd figure Asia is way more set up in that respect due to China being such a gigantic center of global manufacturing. If Cover's suppliers are making stuff in China as well that can be shipped to Japan for final dispatch way easier (and probably cheaper) than if they then had to ship it to America for packing. Then the additional costs of having to set up with a distributor in the US, and what can be ridiculous costs of shipping stuff from America to anywhere outside America as any European can attest to. njsykora fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jun 29, 2021 |

I very much doubt someone in Cover is forcing her to sing Japanese against her will. Gura’s karaoke streams are full of her singing in Japanese despite not speaking it, I would imagine the same thing applies for an original song, she did it because it was something she enjoys

Honestly if I had to guess, I'd bet Japan is one of the MOST expensive places to ship from to most of the world. I've bought stuff from the UK, EU, China, and Ukraine, and it's always a fraction of the shipping costs on Hololive merch.

I do small scale international shipping from the US. As far as paperwork goes, it's no problem. The cost, however, is absolutely eyewatering. For example, that 2660 yen quoted above appears to be Japan Post's retail rate for EMS. Equivalent service originating in the US would be $68. A courier like Fedex starts at around $110. This would be for a standard letter/A4 size envelope.

so without getting in the weeds in the vtuber thread, is it just a US-JP thing? Is there a reason why poo poo from Europe is so significantly cheaper? International poo poo is outside of my wheelhouse, but if you need a Full-Truckload quote inside the US I got you
