Five VTubers left idol Corp after its acquisition by Brave group US. Kattarina Qutie, Fuyo Cloverfield, Juna Unagi, Rin Penrose, and Meica05 will go independent.
This announcement appeared on the official socials for idol Corp. It starts with gratitude for the management team, whose cooperation is making the transition mush easier. Then, it goes on to reiterate that Brave respects the decisions of the individual VTubers in regards to the future of their career. Kattarina Qutie, Fuyo Cloverfield, Juna Unagi, Rin Penrose, and Meica05 have decided not to remain and a farewell stream for them will appear in November 2024.
In the previous announcement, Brave said that VTubers would be allowed to retain the rights to their models, characters, and social media accounts. This new announcement goes into a bit more detail in regards to that. Brave will not require the VTubers to pay an upfront fee for the rights to their characters. Instead, it will set up a revenue-sharing model with them that lasts for a year. This is, according to Brave, a way for them to grow their careers. The VTubers remaining will receive 3D model debuts some time later.
At the end of the announcement, Brave gives a quick overview of the company’s future. It will delay idolEN3’s debut, as well as debut four more talents later. It also stated that anyone waiting on pending merchandise orders should get them before October 15, 2024.
VTubers remaining at idol Corp include Nikki Rei, Momo Otako, and Lalabell Lullaby.
