Cover Announces Measures Taken Against Hololive Defamation
Cover announced on its website the measures it’s been taking against defamation, slander, and libel directed at its hololive talents. You can also make your own reports if you witness distressing or malicious behavior online.
The news on Cover’s website covers its actions from January to December 2024. According to Cover, it addressed 252 cases last year. Its actions mostly focus on removing posts and accounts on social media that infringe upon its rights. It also took legal action against websites, such as aggregator or “matome” sites, that might post personal information about a talent (whether the information is legitimate or not).
Malicious posts, or posts that infringe on Cover or hololive’s rights, usually entails content like impersonation, misinformation, slander, or libel. Direct harassment towards the talents or their fanbase also counts. For years , Cover (and other major VTuber agencies like Anycolor ) has worked to keep its VTubers and other talents safe from online slander, defamation, and harassment. As it mentioned in its post in January 2025, this also includes disclosure requests. Disclosure requests only occur in the most malicious cases, though.
You can read the full details of Cover’s 2024 measures against defamation and harassment via its website. It’s available in English and in Japanese.

Taito Is Working On a New Groove Coaster Switch Game
Taito has announced that it is working on a brand-new Groove Coaster rhythm game for the Nintendo Switch. The company will reveal the new title on January 30, 2025.
The new game will add another entry to the Groove Coaster series, which launched first on mobile devices in 2011. The series has also been available on PC and Nintendo Switch, and Taito has announced over 7 million downloads combined from all aforementioned platforms worldwide as of January 9, 2025. Groove Coaster is also available in arcades, but Taito has ceased supporting the platform due to storage space limitation issues .
The presentation event will go live on January 30, 2025, at 7:30 PM JST (5:30 AM ET). After revealing the new game, the event will continue with a live DJ performance by Ryutaro "Ryu☆" Nakahara, who is also known for his contributions to Konami's Bemani game series.
The revelation of a new Switch game will, however, raise a question about the ultimate fate of Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party , which has been available on the same platform since late 2019. Taito has been regularly adding new content to the game for over five years. Many of those are crossovers from other franchises, such as Square Enix's The World Ends With You . The latest update for Wai Wai Party on December 19, 2024 , added the Hololive Vtuber Shiranui Flare along with her song "Zenryoku Jumping!" and Hololive Fantasy's "Reality Fantasy" among others.
Taito will reveal the new Groove Coaster game for Nintendo Switch on Thursday, January 30, 2025.

8 Bondlive English Vtubers Graduated
Bondlive announced that eight Vtubers from the English branch of the company graduated. Amanogawa Yuvia, Anna Marielle Faye, Keika Fujioka, Kuzuryu Kota, Maimu Akemi, Princess Lollipop, Suzu Kitunebi, Sytry Faust ceased their activities. The statement from the company also revealed that information about it leaked, but it said some was inaccurate. This move also means the individuals aren’t on Iriam US. In the case of many of them, they recently debuted in the last months of 2024. While Bondlive proper announced the departures on January 5, 2025, many of the talents left at the end of December 2024.
The announcement began with an apology for recent events, before getting into the departure of the eight Bondlive English Vtubers. That notice did not state if any will continue to perform going forward, and it did not mention if they will get to keep their identities. Princess Lollipop noted in her statement that she doesn’t own the IP. Some of the former members did mention they will continue in other forms, such as Yuvia. Akemi’s notice mentioned going indie , and she also referenced a new design in another post.
In some of the final statements from performers, they seemed to elude to troubles behind the scenes. For example, Suzu said “the ongoing challenges behind the scenes have taken a toll on me” and “I can’t compromise my morals as a person.” Princess Lollipop referred to “current awful developments” causing her to leave and mentioned she was angry, disappointed, and disgusted.
Here are the direct links to each of statements made by the former Bondlive English Vtubers on social media. Anna , Keika , and Kota did not make any, as their accounts no longer exist online.
