[Bad News?] Apparently, IVE has a “Major Announcement” [What’s Going On?]

1 Name: Thread Starter [ID:FddG59aZz] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:19
Tomorrow’s IVE “Otherworld Party” stream title is “Major Announcement.”
It’s way too ominous… Did something happen?

Seriously…? What could it be?
I’m starting to get worried.

3 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Ytr7UjN3B] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:23
There are rumors of discord among the members, right?
Celestia hasn’t been appearing much lately.

4 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:sE5vD8mHc] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:25

No, no, it was explained that she’s just busy and can’t make it often, wasn’t it?
If they were actually on bad terms with that kind of vibe, I’d lose faith in humanity.

5 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Lp9qR4xZv] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:27
Maybe something came down from the Tetsumura Group.
Like a change in direction due to corporate convenience.

6 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:W2cTnK7Gb] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:29
Think of it the other way around, maybe a new member is joining?

7 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:a6FdS9jEm] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:31

Nah, if it were that, they wouldn’t use such an ominous phrase as “Major Announcement.”
It would be something more positive like “Notice” or “New Development.”

8 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:o1IiU3yPh] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:33
A surprise guest or something seems plausible.
“Major” might just be clickbait for the title.

9 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:b5XtA2zVq] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:35
Maybe a collab with another VTuber?

10 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:n7MmC4kJs] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:37

I want them to collab with bigger names.
I love the Otherworld Party concept, but they still lack recognition.

11 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:tP8vR6lDf] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:39
Changing the story’s direction?
It’s plausible they might revise the lore based on viewer feedback.

12 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:eG3hZ9wQx] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:41
Maybe their real lives are getting busy, so there’s a possibility of slowing down the streaming pace or going on hiatus…
Especially Celestia and Garret, who have their main jobs and can only stream occasionally.

13 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:u0OiY2aTb] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:43
I’m genuinely getting worried now…
It’s my daily source of enjoyment.

14 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:f4VdX7nWc] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:45
Realistically, isn’t it just an announcement for related merchandise?
If the Tetsumura Group gets serious, they’d probably release some really elaborate stuff.

15 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:i6BjH1mKs] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:47
The stream title is too ominous.
Could it be… retirement?

16 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:rT9qE3vGz] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:49

15
There was absolutely no vibe like that…
Yesterday’s stream seemed perfectly normal and fun.

17 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:k2LmN5pJs] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:51
So, a chat-focused main style was unsustainable after all, huh?
You don’t really sense any corporate sponsorships with them.
They gather attention, but their effectiveness as PR seems low.

18 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:x7CdV0bQy] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:53

17
But that’s precisely their charm, isn’t it?
Their natural conversations and storytelling are great.

19 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:z8MhJ3lKp] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:55
Please don’t quit. I really look forward to hearing the stories from their own mouths.
At least let us hear the story until the very end.

20 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:d1QwE6sRf] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:57
We won’t know until the stream day, but I’m having a little trouble sleeping now.
I’m worried because they’re a VTuber group I genuinely like.

21 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Y5nO8pT1q] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 22:59
Is the Tetsumura Group pulling out?
They say the VTuber market has been cooling down recently.

22 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:S4iU7oE9r] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:01

21
Is that really a thing? I get the impression it’s actually growing.
It feels like viewership is increasing everywhere.

23 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:F2uI5aL8d] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:03
If it’s a real-life event, that would be positive news.
If they do a live concert or something, I’d want to go.

24 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:G7kM3bN9c] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:05
The fact that everyone’s this worried means they’re really loved.
We won’t know what will happen until the stream day, but I’ll keep supporting them.

25 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:J1vR8tY3h] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:07
By the way, what time does the stream start?
I have work, but I’m debating whether to leave early to watch it.

26 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:L4wP9zQ2a] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:09

25
According to their official Twitter, it’s supposed to start at 20:00.
I’m also planning to adjust my work schedule to watch it.

27 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:O6xT1cU8s] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:11
Will it be a stream with everyone present?
If Celestia appears too, that’ll be rare.

28 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:B9mE5fD2g] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:13
Whatever it is, we’ll have to be patient for a bit.
I absolutely can’t miss the stream.

29 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:X3jA7qY9p] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:15
Honestly, I plan to support them no matter what the announcement is, but…
I really hope they continue…

30 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Z8kC4nV6i] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:17
Isn’t everyone overthinking this?
It might simply be a positive announcement like a new project or merchandise sales.

31 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:D5hG9mR1w] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:19

30
That’s highly possible, but the choice of words “Major Announcement” is what’s concerning.
Normally, they’d say “Notice” or “New Development,” right?

32 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Q2lT7yF4v] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:21
At this point, whoever writes a prediction and gets it right is the winner.

33 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:N9wH3eR6j] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:23
Prediction: Anime adaptation greenlit.

34 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:M1bS8pK3a] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:25
Prediction: 2.5D stage play adaptation.

35 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:P7fJ2dL5c] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:27
Prediction: 3D model announcement.

36 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:T4rY9oU1e] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:29
Prediction: Book adaptation greenlit (light novel).

37 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:K6vA3gB8z] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:31
Prediction: Garret and John spin-off project.

38 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:H2xE7nC9q] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:33
Everyone’s started making positive predictions…
It’s probably wishful thinking, but that’s good, right?

39 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:F9sI4wL1o] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:35
Even at this hour, over 300 people are on the stream waiting screen.
Is everyone too worried to sleep?

40 Name: Thread Starter [ID:Fk7Lm9p2Z] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:37
For now, we can only wait until the scheduled stream date.
I’ll report the results in this thread too.

41 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:R3hT8mY5v] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:39
By the way, their streams are really entertaining, aren’t they?
I especially like the interactions between Hayato and Lilia.

42 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:W1jN4pZ7d] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:41

41
I know, right? Their dynamic feels so natural.
It makes you wonder if they’ve actually known each other for a long time.

43 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:C6kV2bS9a] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:43
I also love Garret’s weapon enthusiast side.
Being that knowledgeable means he’s a true hardcore fan, right?

44 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:G8mO1qY3j] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:45
Anyway, I’m going to bed early to prepare for the stream.
I plan to support them no matter what happens.

45 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:I5nP7tR2w] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:47
Whatever is announced, let’s believe in them.
Good night, see you all tomorrow.

46 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:L3sD9fJ7h] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:49
Can’t sleep… Honestly, I’m nervous.
I really hope it’s good news.

47 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:V4xU8zA2c] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:51
I’m heading home earlier than usual to watch the stream.
I absolutely cannot miss it.

48 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:Y7pQ1rF3v] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:53
Well everyone, maybe nothing serious is happening.
We’ll find out when the time comes. Let’s calm down.

49 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:B4eG7hK9n] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:55
I know, but I can’t help being anxious.
Being a fan is tough, huh…

50 Name: Anonymous-san [ID:S6aO9iM3d] 20xx/xx/xx (Fri) 23:57
Well then, everyone, see you at tomorrow’s stream!
Whatever the outcome, I’m cheering for Otherworld Party!
