INDUSTRY: COVER Corp CEO Motoaki Tanigo in an interview with COVERedge admits the company should have explained the changes inside hololive production more carefully. This comes after the first hololive NEXT stream (aired last Sep 7) drew opposing views. [🔗 in 💬]

Precisely because we understand this, we held repeated sessions to explain the proposed unification to talents and carefully considered all the feedback we received,” COVER Corporation CEO Motoaki Tanigo said during an interview with COVERedge explaining the changes inside hololive production following its first hololive NEXT stream last September 7.
