Notice on the Changes to be Made to HOLOSTARS' Management Structure | COVER Corp.
cover-corp.com
COVER Corporation is a next-generation entertainment enterprise that shares content that is uniquely Japanese with the rest of the world—principally through hololive production.

Since its launch in 2019, HOLOSTARS has been active for almost seven years. With the debuts of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gens, followed by UPROAR!!, it has grown into a group with a total of 12 currently active members and over the course of seven years, their activities went beyond streaming on YouTube, as they joined events, exhibitions, collaborations, and live shows on site.

However, the current state of the HOLOSTARS business has forced us as a company to have repeated discussions about how to maintain HOLOSTARS in a sustainable manner. We considered the future direction of the group’s activities from various perspectives. Ultimately, we have arrived at the conclusion that changing the management structure in a way that fits the current status of HOLOSTARS’ activities is unavoidable.

As a result, the company-led activities of the group, which have progressed alongside the individual activities of each talent, will be coming to a close. From this fiscal year onward, activity policies will shift to mainly focus on individual activities. Moreover, as we will reallocate certain resources, some of our support will be limited or conclude entirely.

    It’s unfortunate but not too surprising. I’ve seen people talk that “it makes sense because they don’t bring enough money” and it’s like… yeah? You give them very little support as a company and then pikachu face when they don’t explode.

    Funny how Nijisanji (and I hate to use them as a positive example) managed to figure it out and has no problem having both male and female talents but when it comes to Cover, guys are pretty much siloed into their own little corner and left to fend for themselves.

    Sure, it’s not all Cover’s fault but I really think they dropped the ball on this one.

    I’m curious if this will lead to any graduations or if everyone will stick around for now. I heard EN was already pretty much treated this way and I’ve seen Roberu talking that he’ll keep doing his thing but being pretty much indie while still paying the corpo tax and playing by their rules sounds like a pain.

    Whatever happens, I sincerely wish them all the best. It’s a crappy situation, no matter how you slice it.

      Vesper somehow knew something was up. I wonder if Vesper (now Randon) had an inkling something was going to happen in this regard. I think he did, knowing his senses as an older gentleman (now an older gentleorc).

        That seems unlikely. He left almost 3 years ago now.
