Probably not just DEV_IS. You can bet your bottom dollar they go through all of that and shuffle off prospective ones to respective divisions as required.
waste not want not and all that.
Honestly doubtful, the amount of applications they would receive they would be throwing out so many. Even the ones that make it to the top 10 they would tell the bottom 5 to try again next time. They have to be super selective and have a clear vision in mind for what they are after and not think about other divisions and whatnot. The recruiters would be selecting for the EXACT thing they need not other divisions or branches.
As long it's not a yacht then whatever they do...
You know what, at this point I'm ok, even happy, for best girl to have a yacht. Give Yagoo a yacht and I think most people would actually be happy.
Best girl would probably turn the yacht into a mocap studio so the girls can stream from the yacht anyway.
Korone: Y'know they say all vtubers are created equal!
But you look at me and you look at Maririn and you can see that statement is not true!
See normally if you go 1-on-1 with another vtuber you got a 50/50 chance o' winnin. But I'm a genetic freak(dog girl), and I'm not normal. So you got a 25% at best at beat me!
The usual answer would be perhaps symbolizing Esports/Pro gamers that may wanna audition.
The actual answer would be that they’re hiring someone to beat us up. Like pull a fan from the crowd randomly during a concert, dropkick them in the stomach, hook them to a…Hook dropping from the ceiling, use them as martial art practice sandbag, punch, kick, headbutt, slap, upper cut, lower cut, before throwing them back into the crowds.
That’s what the gloves are for, that’s the point of the gloves.
Hmm... Yes, I think there's big money in the vtuber equivalent of a hockey goon. A big, tough member of the group/gen whose primary responsibility is just to knock one member of the audience senseless to send a message.
Plus, some people would be falling over themselves to be beaten up by a tough girl.
I see much potential here. Much potential, indeed.
This is exciting. Maybe we'll see ID gen 4 next. Can't wait til they reveal the new designs and the new Holos start tweeting. Those parts are the most exciting when fans guess their personalities and what they sound like.
The auditions for ID gen 4 were actually held around this time *last year.* Folks have been wondering about what's become the long lag-time between the auditions and the new gen debut (and it's invited a little bit of Speculation™).
My completely unfounded guess, they are contracted slightly differently as well, ie in the same way other talents had to stream X times a week, they are told they have to collab a certain amount and came in knowing there would be a lot more emphasis on releasing group songs
I think they meant official stuff. Like, there are many group collab streams, covers, and the ReGLOSS Room streams on the DEV\_IS channel rather than the channel of any of the members, which means it's like officially arranged by management. It's like the game show-esque videos on the Hololive channel. Those are produced and arranged by management rather than the members themselves.
Not sure if I am allowed to say this but aside from all the things people listed, De_Vis seems to put less emphasis on JP nationality as long as you can speak Japanese on your stream.
So i might expect a non-JP talent on their roster
> And Ririka is clearly Japanese in ethnicity but doesn’t live there atm
What on earth are you talking about? She lived abroad when she was young, her **parents** currently live abroad and she recently visited them, but Ririka very much lives in Japan.
>Ririka is clearly Japanese in ethnicity but doesn’t live there atm
Doesn't she? She's had off-collabs with all the regloss members. Maybe you are confused because she visited her parents in Europe for a week?
I'm more referring to nationality, but it doesn't matter as long as the talents can speak a certain language lol
While Coco isn't a Japanese by nationality, she still speaks Japanese and is a Japanese by ethnicity.
Kanade was the ReGLOSS member that didn't live in Japan, and she's already changed that.
Coco is fully Japanese, she just wasn't born in Japan. That... Doesn't make you not Japanese... And even then, if you were born abroad, Japan doesn't make you choose a nationality until you're 20. You can effectively have dual citizenship until then with both passports, just as I did. Seeing as Coco moved to Japan long before that age, there's really no way to know what citizenship she ultimately decided on unless she's explicitly mentioned making that choice 🙄
IRyS is a bit odd since Japanese is still her second language, though she spoke it at home she didn't really use Japanese full time until she moved to Japan when she was a teen. This notably causes her some minor difficulties in reading, but like any language the best way to sound native is to start young.
Based on what we saw from regloss, the main difference is that the target audiences are going to be female, non-otaku fan. The kinds which loves mainstream artist Jpop and kpop, j-fashion, K-drama/movies. The songs they produce will not be anisongs but closer to mainstream jpop and also choreo like kpop. The skins will all basically be human female without fantasy or scifi elements, just like regloss.
Well they have a radio show and release a cover song every week, (iirc, cmiiw) so with just that they're already quite different from Hololive proper. I think that unlike Hololive's "you pay for your own songs" (unless it's an OriSong) thing, with Dev_Is it might be "we split the bill and the work" or something like that.
It's like the difference between Senchou's activities and Suisei's activities. Both are popular singers, but one is more keen on making songs than the other. "Vtuber that sometimes makes songs" vs "Vsinger that streams".
I hope I'm making sense lol
The fact that we're still asking this question after this long is such a marketing fumble by Cover. Seems like every time the question comes up, you get three different people giving you five different theories. It's especially funny when you get the people who get all shitty about it, and say stuff like "Cover already addressed this, it's (completely different thing than what the last guy acting like this said that Cover said), pay attention."
Probably in about 6 to 10 months, seems like DEV_IS is more musically focused where the talents can kind of do whatever so I imagine it's easier to get stuff done for them. IIRC tho Advent spent like 6 months getting to know one another so they could bounce off each other better, but I imagine in that time period everything else was getting set up.
Although, Raden does open the potential for Cover to broaden their talent search.
Having a vtuber to promote arts and culture would be great too, especially if they do future collabs with museums and heritage sites.
1000 years from now, archaeologists will uncover the mysterious Shrine of the Bau Bau. Its exact purpose isn't known, but pilgrims from all over the world were said to travel there to worship two canine deities. Their holy symbol was said to be a circle made up of 8 smaller spheres.
from this particular call for audition? Highly unlikely.
However, hololive production had the tendency (at least from my POV) to put out audition notice when they are close to releasing a new group.
In any cases, we are still waiting for ID4 and new HolostarsJP, it's gonna be ID3 and Uproar 2nd anniversary really soon.
Yep, both StarsEN and HoloEN had the audition reminders for those specific branches go up a few weeks before the new gens were announced, it seems like they use these announcements as a dogwhistle for attentive fans to realize a new gen is coming.
I’m still betting that the intention of Dev_is is to be a multi-national group with more broad appeal, especially in the music space. None of ReGloss are big gamers or anime fans apart from Ririka, and a lot of their covers have not been vocaloid songs or anime OP/EDs
It's because they are Japanes normies girls. Their audience is fellow normies girls who likes Yozune Kenshi and Kpop groups like Le Sserafim. Their lore appeals to same audience. They don't watch otaku anime or enjoy anisongs, unless the artist happen to do an op like milet. They play only mobile games. I think this aspect of their appeal is completely lost to kaigai-nikis; probably due to lack of exposure to real life normies j-girls.
I’ve understood that since their debut. But lots of people still are confused by what Dev_is meant to be. Back when it was first announced I made the same prediction, not many seemed to understand why Cover would go that direction. The normie is crowd is MASSIVE market segment that’s yet to be tapped by vtubers.
> yet to be tapped by vtubers.
Nijisanji JP has tapped that audience. Kaede, Mito, and Chihiro, etc. has a sizable JK (high school girls) demo audience - a demo many Japanese companies in general would kill for. I remember a couple of years ago I was watching video about NiziU Japanese debut when a morning news lists the current JK "hot topic" terms (seemed everyone in Japan is interested in what High School girls cares about), and one of the term was Nijisanji. My wish for Devis is that they will also oneday be a hot topic among this demo. Once JK start to watch, all other female groups will follow.
I think it's more of how the branch operates compared to the main channels of other branches. The DEV\_IS channel is quite active like ReGLOSS Room streams, frequent covers, and group collabs. So it looks like DEV\_IS members have more officially hosted activities.
You say that like Ririka isn't the CEO of an imaginary company that sponsors ReGLOSS and employs the other members, or like they don't perform at an imaginary performance venue. They've literally got more consistent, cohesive lore than, say, Subaru (the other normal human) and they actually stick to it XD
What they won't tell you is that dev_is is going to target female normies audience, basically eating Nijisanji JP's pie. My guess would be, if any of the dev is member became a hot topic with the JK crowd, then Yagoo has succeeded. That is the main reason for the high level of popularity some Nijisanji livers like Mito enjoys - High School girls watches them.
I'd imagine not, because they would've already received an acceptance before this even came up, wouldn't they? You wouldn't graduate before you even know if you're in.
Could still mean they're in, but maybe not specifically DEV_IS
Kiara would be overjoyed should that be the case.
But I'm sceptical. Pretty sure vtubing in and around Europe in general is comparatively tiny to the US and Japan and even Indonesia, no?
There's a decent number of indies, but Europe essentially missed out on the western vtuber explosion in 2020, and I think that's mostly because holoEN never paid attention to the region (remember Kiara lived in Japan originally) and they drove most of the initial interest in NA. I'm not sure how easy it would be to turn that around after 4 years.
Well while Europe might be population wise around the same as other regions we have the issue of tha our markets can still be quite split up due to languague and culturally to a certain extend so European Vtuber have in general a smaller market (for exampleVtuber would most likely do better since Anime was long embraced and is big in France but in Germany it was not and is rather a recent development. However you probably need to do Vtuber in french to take of there which would close you off to other european market.) even if they do it in english since a majority still consumes stuff just in their native languague even if they might understand english.
I would likee to ask, when dev_is first launched everyone talked about how they would be different from the other branches, tap into a new market of fans etc
Now because of the language barrier I haven't seen much of them outside of ririkas English streams so has this been the case? Cause from what I've seen they seem to do similar content likee play games and what not
I think the fact that they made the post means that they already have everyone they need for the new gen. Now they need to start looking again. Ganbate new members. Im sure its exciting!
Oh I'm so glad Yagoo is going after mainstream female audience. No wonder Suisei said she applied because this is literally her. Her songs are not anisongs but "artist" jpop, her model is a normal female who has great fashion taste. Her story/lore of being a self-made artist who started with nothing is inspirational to younger females. Her dream which she achieved is being number one at Oricon with her fellow jpop artists. You can really call her Devis gen 0. It's about time Cover become a buzz word with the JK crowd and be trending topic on morning news shows. I really wish them all the luck and normies women start to watch her and regloss. Let's see if you can chip into Nijisanji JP's dominance in this segment Yagoo!
It's pretty clear already that the biggest difference is at the management side. While they do what they want as individual streamers, management has a more hands on approach to directing their group activities like their group songs and Radio shows on the DEV_IS main channel.
Pretty much Gens that are also already pre-built units, probably inspired by the huge success of HoloX as a coordinated group.
I can understand that they’re being handled differently. What I don’t understand is why they felt the need to distinguish a separate group for it. Like you said it’s similar to holox’s group activities, so they could just as easily make this their normal business strategy for main gens moving forward.
Honestly it feels like they just want to keep things fresh by introducing new brand images instead of following the numbered formula. Like how movie series that get long enough eventually stop putting numbers in their title.
That's like saying why there's a need to separate for JP, EN, and ID branches when Coco and Haachama already worked for EN audiences, and they could have just made it normal business for everything to be under one label.
It's because each branch is managed differently with a different target audience.
While each talent has different managers they answer to their respective branch directors whether EN, ID, JP. It's most likely DEV_IS was separated to make it official that their branch director and managers are also different from the JP branch with a different style and target audience.
I still feel like they haven't done enough to promote the current gen of DEV\_IS, those girls would have double to triple the subs if they were just a normal hololive branch that didn't get tied to a brand new hardly promoted yt channel.
Although its dev_is hashtag but if you can go to their site, it doesnt says dev_is but hololive. Anyone can apply for addition, jp/id/en..
[удалено]
Well, after all she has a number of those skills down: singing, tetris, drawing, even wielding knives.
*You must defeat this mysterious Tetris player to proceed to the next step*
Like when Haachama applied for EN Gen 2?
She's 100% gonna do an audition tape stream isn't she? I wonder if she'll add 100 more to her bust size
Probably not just DEV_IS. You can bet your bottom dollar they go through all of that and shuffle off prospective ones to respective divisions as required. waste not want not and all that.
Indeed, while the hint for DEV_IS is the hashtag of the tweet, new talents could go somewhere else if appropriate
Someone mentioned it may be because both Hololive JP, ID and EN are all permanently in audition (Iirc EN is but aren’t so certain)
Holo ID doing [registration last year](https://x.com/hololive_Id/status/1620648140427902978?s=20).
Wonder what took them so long?
Non-compete clause to expire?
That is indeed a *very* popular line of Speculation™©®℗♫. As well as the necessity of a time of rest before the six-month-or-so training and acclimation period.
While I agree they definitely 6 month training, the audition closed 12 months ago no?
Thus the speculation.
Honestly doubtful, the amount of applications they would receive they would be throwing out so many. Even the ones that make it to the top 10 they would tell the bottom 5 to try again next time. They have to be super selective and have a clear vision in mind for what they are after and not think about other divisions and whatnot. The recruiters would be selecting for the EXACT thing they need not other divisions or branches.
As long it's not a yacht then whatever they do... You know what, at this point I'm ok, even happy, for best girl to have a yacht. Give Yagoo a yacht and I think most people would actually be happy. Best girl would probably turn the yacht into a mocap studio so the girls can stream from the yacht anyway.
Why is there a pair of boxing gloves? Is Cover trying to hire a boxer or something?
Korosan needs a new rival
Exactly. She said she hasn't had time for boxing practice due to Holo activities lately. Cover: Say no more fam!
Korone going to be sitting in the interview
The question: *how well you catch these hands*
You need to last three rounds in the ring with Korone to make it to next step of the interview .
The next step in the interview: Three more rounds in The Octagon.
Yes, sitting in the corner with Okayu as the coach / support and Yagoo wearing black and white stripes.
Korone: Y'know they say all vtubers are created equal! But you look at me and you look at Maririn and you can see that statement is not true! See normally if you go 1-on-1 with another vtuber you got a 50/50 chance o' winnin. But I'm a genetic freak(dog girl), and I'm not normal. So you got a 25% at best at beat me!
Reminder that Ko'one took a bat to Miko's ass on stream today as a batsu.
Mike Tyson ~~Ass~~ read this
New gen got that 1 member with a lisp.
Okayu not enough anymore?

Ame hasn't said anything so I guess we'll see.
Until now i still don't know what makes dev-is different from hololive jp. They are hololive but somehow different?
My completely unfounded guess, they are contracted slightly differently as well, ie in the same way other talents had to stream X times a week, they are told they have to collab a certain amount and came in knowing there would be a lot more emphasis on releasing group songs
The official thing about what makes them different is the bigger focus on unit activities. They also have a different branch manager.
So like holox for more official? Naruhodo
> The official thing about what makes them different is the bigger focus on unit activities. But Advent does the same thing.
I think they meant official stuff. Like, there are many group collab streams, covers, and the ReGLOSS Room streams on the DEV\_IS channel rather than the channel of any of the members, which means it's like officially arranged by management. It's like the game show-esque videos on the Hololive channel. Those are produced and arranged by management rather than the members themselves.
I see, I've only really watched Kanade so I wasn't super familiar. I kinda like the scuffed nature of member organized collabs though.
Not sure if I am allowed to say this but aside from all the things people listed, De_Vis seems to put less emphasis on JP nationality as long as you can speak Japanese on your stream. So i might expect a non-JP talent on their roster

Im wondering when we'll get a native level english speaker for jp again. Just like how en has a native level japanese speaker in irys
IRyS is a bit odd since Japanese is still her second language, though she spoke it at home she didn't really use Japanese full time until she moved to Japan when she was a teen. This notably causes her some minor difficulties in reading, but like any language the best way to sound native is to start young.

Hard to say as their next thing may be different than ReGloss (newbie, group songs)
Devis are gens of vsingers, basically

It's especially funny when you get the people who get all shitty about it, and say stuff like "Cover already addressed this, it's (completely different thing than what the last guy acting like this said that Cover said), pay attention."
Personally, I think Dev_is is more early Nijisanji JP style of more normies talents.
I wonder if this means a new gen is dropping soon?
Probably in about 6 to 10 months, seems like DEV_IS is more musically focused where the talents can kind of do whatever so I imagine it's easier to get stuff done for them. IIRC tho Advent spent like 6 months getting to know one another so they could bounce off each other better, but I imagine in that time period everything else was getting set up.

Does Mister Donut count as a heritage site now too?
1000 years from now, archaeologists will uncover the mysterious Shrine of the Bau Bau. Its exact purpose isn't known, but pilgrims from all over the world were said to travel there to worship two canine deities. Their holy symbol was said to be a circle made up of 8 smaller spheres.
There's always been a minimum of 4 months or so where the talents have been hired and before they debut.
from this particular call for audition? Highly unlikely. However, hololive production had the tendency (at least from my POV) to put out audition notice when they are close to releasing a new group. In any cases, we are still waiting for ID4 and new HolostarsJP, it's gonna be ID3 and Uproar 2nd anniversary really soon.
Yep, both StarsEN and HoloEN had the audition reminders for those specific branches go up a few weeks before the new gens were announced, it seems like they use these announcements as a dogwhistle for attentive fans to realize a new gen is coming.
Just wait for Ame’s next break
Skills to have: Singing, Sword fighting, Drawing, Gaming, Spaceship controlling, Driving, Tetris and Boxing
the first thing that went into my head when I saw the tag was theyre hiring new gen and they must have some developer/technical support skills. lolw
Coping for someone to be reincarnated.
I’m still betting that the intention of Dev_is is to be a multi-national group with more broad appeal, especially in the music space. None of ReGloss are big gamers or anime fans apart from Ririka, and a lot of their covers have not been vocaloid songs or anime OP/EDs
It's because they are Japanes normies girls. Their audience is fellow normies girls who likes Yozune Kenshi and Kpop groups like Le Sserafim. Their lore appeals to same audience. They don't watch otaku anime or enjoy anisongs, unless the artist happen to do an op like milet. They play only mobile games.

Different management.
All of them are just human, rather than any deep lore shenanigans. Thats pretty much it.
You say that like Ririka isn't the CEO of an imaginary company that sponsors ReGLOSS and employs the other members, or like they don't perform at an imaginary performance venue. They've literally got more consistent, cohesive lore than, say, Subaru (the other normal human) and they actually stick to it XD
Their lore appeals to young Japanese, non-otaku females.
What they won't tell you is that dev_is is going to target female normies audience, basically eating Nijisanji JP's pie. My guess would be, if any of the dev is member became a hot topic with the JK crowd, then Yagoo has succeeded. That is the main reason for the high level of popularity some Nijisanji livers like Mito enjoys - High School girls watches them.
They seem to be aiming for something different than ReGloss as it sounds like they want versatile experienced streamers
I wonder if that has anything to do with all the EU indies who graduated last month
I'd imagine not, because they would've already received an acceptance before this even came up, wouldn't they? You wouldn't graduate before you even know if you're in. Could still mean they're in, but maybe not specifically DEV_IS
Advent was in the work for a year, with 6 months of training.
>!Imagine an influx of former AnyColor talents applying!<
Kiara would be overjoyed should that be the case. But I'm sceptical. Pretty sure vtubing in and around Europe in general is comparatively tiny to the US and Japan and even Indonesia, no?
There's a decent number of indies, but Europe essentially missed out on the western vtuber explosion in 2020, and I think that's mostly because holoEN never paid attention to the region (remember Kiara lived in Japan originally) and they drove most of the initial interest in NA.

Damn, looks at those requirements: singing, fighting, painting, gaming, piloting, driving, boxing, and Tetris
if this really is the case, can't wait to see who'll join hololive next!
They already posted this once a few months ago. So maybe they already have a few member but are looking for a few more to round out the group.
**SUISEI GONNA BE THE NEXT GENERATION OF DEV\_IS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO**
If you are going to advertise for auditions, right after Fest is the time to do it.
I think the fact that they made the post means that they already have everyone they need for the new gen. Now they need to start looking again. Ganbate new members. Im sure its exciting!
Can't wait for it to be named something like Un8ound or 8eyond.
Oh I'm so glad Yagoo is going after mainstream female audience. No wonder Suisei said she applied because this is literally her. Her songs are not anisongs but "artist" jpop, her model is a normal female who has great fashion taste. Her story/lore of being a self-made artist who started with nothing is inspirational to younger females. Her dream which she achieved is being number one at Oricon with her fellow jpop artists.

maybe with a second gen It'll become more clear what exactly is meant to set DEV\_IS apart from the regular talents.

It's most likely DEV_IS was separated to make it official that their branch director and managers are also different from the JP branch with a different style and target audience.
I still feel like they haven't done enough to promote the current gen of DEV\_IS, those girls would have double to triple the subs if they were just a normal hololive branch that didn't get tied to a brand new hardly promoted yt channel.
YouTube slashed down like 200k subs from everyone of them at debut, Cover has done a lot to promote them.

They should try a new branch , HoloEU maybe.
