can't be dev_is en because it was only advertised on the jp side. all the info given on the actual audition website is generic as fuck. i'm going to guess either mixed gen, due to the gender selection, or 2.5d idols because of the "beyond the traditional framework of VTuber idols" part.

looking at the QRTs (the ones that aren't just complaining about cover at least) people seem to think that this might be a Hololive version of VTA due to this section
>>
>>109006975
This would be at least the third notable time that a group was made specifically to educate on how to be a vtuber.
Considering the last two had...less than stellar track records, I'm not confident that Cover would even try to do a third round. It also doesn't really have any value proposition for them, since Holo has done well for itself pulling from proven indies.

Michi Mochievee reveals that Nijisanji refused to allow her to commission an artist for merch on her own dime, demanding that she instead draw it herself. She complied, which is why Mika Melatika's first merch was a doodle with text saying "I hate this job but I need money!" (in Indo, I assume). Apparently Niji never bothered translating the text and released the merch intact:

Melbourne top 3 (STCC round 1):
1. Axel Syrios
2. Josuiji Shinri
3. Gavis Bettel
This is not only Axel's first ever win, it's his first ever podium in any STCC race. Points standings are up in picrel after the first round. Meanwhile, Fubuki won pole for the Challenge Series' New Zealand Challenge, and Matsuri won pole for the World Championship's Australian Holo Prix.
Waiting room is up for the planned stream of both FH races tomorrow morning, same start time: https://youtu.be/1Okfz8uAgco

Okay, it's been well past long enough since yesterday's season-opening FH races took place, so here are the results:
New Zealand Challenge (Hampton Downs) top 3:
1. Hanazono Sayaka
2. Ichijou Ririka
3. Takane Lui
Australian Holo Prix (Melbourne) top 3:
1. Natsuiro Matsuri
2. Ookami Mio
3. Sakura Miko
It's an immediate world-shocking result in the Challenge Series at Hampton Downs as the holoAN announcers team have a win in their very first FH race! Meanwhile in the World Championship, there was no stopping Matsuri as she dominates the Melbourne race for her first win since mid-2023. Picrel has points standings for both series (Challenge Series on the left, World Championship on the right), and the combined Constructors' Championship standings (bottom)man, ID gen 3 really need to get themselves together for the next round

KevinCow, lead HoloIndie developer of "smol ame" and "Age of Advent", has (another) mental breakdown over lack of engagement. Blaming, in part, the hatred for Holostars which he has repeatedly snuck into his games. He rants at length on Twitter, then deletes his Twitter, only to continue his ranting on Bluesky:

Jokes about his racism aside, any idea what this tweet could be about? Based on the date and time of the tweet (Feb 2 at 0359 EST / 1759 JST), I doubt it has anything to do with American politics.
Have any other EN livers been vageposting on twitter lately? Whether on main or on PL, including Uki's PL. I'm asking because my guess is that he's gotten wind that either someone (or multiple someones) will be graduating from EN soon, and/or that EN is closing soon.

Probably not related. While it would explain the date of his tweet, it doesn't explain the time (or the fact that he's the only liver who made a vaguepost about whatever it is he's vagueposting about)
If he was in the US when he tweeted that, then he tweeted that at Fuck You O'clock in the morning on a Monday. And if he was in Japan when he tweeted that, then he tweeted that right after the morning shift office workers left the office to go home for the day. Neither of these times of day would make sense for him to suddenly remember that it's just a few days before the second anniversary of the time his suicidal coworker was fired and viciously slandered for asking to quietly and unceremoniously resign; though the latter might explain him suddenly becoming privy to bad news regarding his own continued employment and/or the continued employment of one or more of his coworkers.
....that said, none of the livers did anything particularly noteworthy for last year's anniversaries. Vanta's birthday stream was unremarkable as far as vtuber birthday streams go, and all other Niji EN streams on those two days were completely bog-standard.
I'm hoping the livers keep their heads down again this year.

Nianyan graduates... And I wish I could provide a link, but she's protected her Twitter, removed her lengthy Youtube community post on the subject, and deleted all her VODS, save for a smattering of music videos. Her post made it sound more like extreme vtuber burn out, rather than being signed.

Not quite, apparently one of the other talents Coqui said she almost left but decided not to. The Group is going to retain 5 members still: Snuffy, Coqui, Meat, Callie Calico, and Vivi. For her part Vivi indicated in her personal discord that some projects fell through so girls were given the option to stay or leave, which seemed to go half and half

One of the other 3am members coqui talked a bit about this in her discord and gave some clarification and an admittance that the manger for the group (Mr. XLR) botched some things that led to those girls leaving.
