Agreed. Kaela once talked about this, too. Long ago. Being stressed is never good when you're alone. If anything, it is worse. Your stressful thoughts are going to overwhelm yourself. So, don't be alone whenever you're depressed.
Damn, that's quite a rollercoaster for Kobo Accepted for dinner, but then declined later all of the sudden resulting in worry. And then the wholesome translated bits of stream of her impression posted, only for then followed by termination info. All in no less than a week
they can't stop them from still meeting as private persons though. The thing just they can't really message each other anymore unless they did exchange private numbers or acc. And if they meet they obviously can't talk about Hololive stuff work stuff anymore except maybe things that are obvious or already happened in the past.
@@gegeji6442 holo EN still keep in touch with Sana, Fauna said that herself, Calli meeting KSon regularly, so i agree, Kobo and Mel hitting up irl isn't impossible, also i think Mel is also meeting up with KSon right?
The worst part of this whole thing, is that Mel "leaked" information because she was under a lot of stress, and her pet passed away, so she found someone to talk to, and said something she shouldn't
In my opinion, I agree with u. It's very unfortunate, since I follow Kobo who's interacting with Mel a lot, of course it makes me sad, but in professionalism, leaking company secrets under any circumstances is against the rules, maybe the company needs to provide psychological services in this case.
From what I know she talk to her trust friend. But her friend backstab her spread info she got from mel to other ppl. Hololive give her option But Mel's feel guilty so she chose terminator (I blame auto correct!)
trusted friend turn traitor. Damn... what kind of a friend would cost you everything? Poor Mel... lost her pet, and now she lost her career with Hololive. I bet that damned 'friend' broke all contact after this incident.
Woman...for the longest time, will always put front their emotion on the front and logical thinking 2nd...happened to Rushia when she is under stress, and now Mel...doesnt matter whats the circumstances is.
It sucks because Mel pretty much made a huge mistake which lead to her termination. Honestly would have never expected Mel to be terminated. Hearing her mama and Gen 1 all saddened by that hit hard.
Aww Mel :( Hope they can still hang out together. Even if we couldn't see or hear what they're doing. Maybe she needs to do fun things to cheer herself
Well In her private channel, she usually hangsout with Kson and Guutara, who is part of Hololive in a way, so she definetely still gonna hangout with some of them irl. Secretly of course.
As far as I know, Mel and Haachama are the closest JP members that Kobo ever had. They hang out a lot and stuff. They both are precious for her, it must be very shocking for Kobo to heard about what happen to Mel
It is rude, but it's hard to blame people that are just looking for answers/closure that they have no other way of getting. Not saying it's right; just understandable.
the saddest part of this whole situation is that mel simply thought she was talking/venting to a friend. you really can’t trust anyone. and while still a leak that is obviously rightfully punished, some NDA breaches can be the smallest things, and judging by the way they honored/treated the termination, it likely wasn’t a huge or detrimental problem. it just happened to break the NDA, and her friend sold her out somehow. i acknowledge that mel was wrong, but i really do sympathize with her. we’re all human
Do we actually know that her friend intentionally "leaked" anything? If we don't actually know *how* Cover found out what Mel had told them, we shouldn't just assume they were malevolent.
the fact that cover know but no one outside have any information could mean that the third party blackmail cover, thats why mel said the issue has been resolved with all the parties involved.
@@johnbradshaw3001 It could as easily have been Mel letting it slip by accident to her manager or someone else, or her manager might have seen messages that had confidential information. The most obvious/likely conclusion isn't always the truth.
@@UrLeingod very unlikely, they all wants to keep her but couldn't. Even if Cover knows, if it can be resolved internally, Yagoo would do anything to keep Mel. The fact that he couldn't mean some third party that Mel talked about to her friend knows about it and complain to Cover so Cover is left with no choice.
I dont think yall understand. Kobo is actually most attached to mel irl. What is shown to us is her close bond with kiara, calli, marine, haachama and lui. But outside the company thingy, she actually went to date with mel alot. She messaged her a lot saying miss you, wanna date with you. Wanna meet you~ and all that wholesome thingy. After the announcement she cried so hard and got sick, but kobo is not the type to show sadness unless it's a direct goodbye like with Sana
@@SofiyanArifKurniawanNot really difficult. Internet exist after all and they still can talk on Discord. They can also meet irl because of Kobo going to Japan a lot.
I'm sure Mel's close friends in Holo is consoling her. Even Calli said that the termination is unfortunate and Mel is one of the nicest senpai who reached out to them when they first debuted offering help. Even with Regloss and especially with Ririka and Ao who are close to her and thankful for Mel's help Always. Calli even said it's ok to speak of Mel in her chat if they're are worried and Calli will also try her best to talk about her when she can. All of these are just unfortunate and even Yagoo and Achan thanked and wish her best. But NDAs is what keep everyone safe so Mel also understood that. In as much as "IF" they do want her to stay but it won't be a good example for all staff and talents there so they all come in between and made a choice. That's how I understood things if everyone just calmly piece things together instead of making a rukus out of it. That's the real world working for a company or in businesses. I just hope that Mel can weather through this fast. I don't want her getting depressed. Also hope she opens up to her ex Holomems and they to her. She needs people around her now. Once she's ready again, I'm sure her true fans will be there beside her.
@@Yoshikage-Kira_75 for some people it's more difficult, Mumei said it in her stream, even if she can communicating with her Holo EN members online, she is (sometimes) still feels alone and wondering what if would feels to have physical irl friends that share the same timezone as her, and can do things together, like Holo JP and Holo ID.
@@Yoshikage-Kira_75 more often than not, the internet will fail to fill in the gap. Especially in her case, she probably needs to stay as far away from the internet, because the internet was her stage. If she logs into her alt account she would want to check on her holo account and see the kind words. Unfortunately kind words would hurt you more when your problems stem from your own mistake, this I speak through experience.
This whole situation just feels rough man...my brain cant seem to stop trying to put myself in Mels shoes, all the work shes done plus the concerts coming up as well as other streams...all gone. Like id have a hard time keeping myself together especially if the reason was a slight mistake on my part.
Bro I re-watched mel's last stream. The last hour of her detailing what she wants to do this year feels like denial. I hope she has people supporting her right now, because I would've been destroyed if I was in her shoes
It strikes in the deep of our souls when you realise what Mel means for hololive. This hole will be hard to fill. Several hours of streams will impact everyone soon or late. Best wishes Mel.
Well she did mention she used to hang with the boys more often than the girls when she was still in school, which explains a lot about how she is tbh. Also why Kiara was dumbfounded at her general style and make-up skills when they first met.
Well especially if you on NDA/Contract, it's always better to keep things vague even when you talk to someone you trust. The problem is, it's not that someone might backstabbed you and spill the info, but they might also spilling it without knowing it, like maybe slip of tongue, but as soon some outsider hearing it, it will go from mouth to mouth very quickly, especially in this day and age where we have access everywhere.
For something important, then yes. I never talk to anyone about important stuff. Including any kind of secrets that my friends told me. Including the classic "I'll tell you about X's secret. But don't tell anyone, okay?" where it usually will be everyone's secret in the end lol. Either small or big, if I'm told to don't tell anyone, I won't talk about it to anyone. Not even to my closest family members or bestfriends.
@@justawanderingoldman7699 I agree with this. My dad taught me that to trust is to be ready for betrayal and be okay with it. If you can't afford betrayal, you can't afford to give trust
It's so sad to see someone go on the most unexpected way. I hope they'll still get in touch with Mel irl. Visit her during her most vulnerable time. Help her recuperate and all.
I really wish one of her friends could force her to not be alone, probably go to her house without her asking. From kobo's story seems like mel's trying to distance herself from anyone. That... That is a bad sign
Don't read so far into this. Mel had to decline because she just got the news of her termination. She would no longer be an employee and cannot use employee accounts to discuss get togethers with other people. What they do on their own time, outside of Hololive and away from you or me? That's up to them to decide.
if Mel friend keep the info from leaked Mel wont be in trouble, it is a shame really and a grim reminder that Cover in the end is a corpo one little slip and they drop the axe
sadly it is because contract law is fucked. NDA's don't exactly outline a whole lot of exceptions in them, and leniency can actually cause more problems; for example someone fired for violating NDA may sue if they find out a lighter punishment was given for the same violation; It also weakens the contract which can lead to more leaks and thus more risk for the talents themselves in Covers case, the NDA protects them and their projects as well. the end result is what looks to me like 2 hurt parties having no choice but to make a decision no one actually wanted to make. its just ... a sad situation.
That's how it is, contract is contract Honestly despite being "terminated", it's more or less on good terms. They even let her manager to post her last words on her account. Even YAGOO expressed his unwillingness but legality is just another thing entirely. If anything, it's so clean it's actually the best possible outcome considering the legal issues that may sprout from the situation that could take advantage from either Mel, Cover, or the said third party..... which I DO hope it's really that clean. No need for legal shenanigans, termination is enough
If you don't enforce your NDAs, no company will be able to trust you to keep anything secret... Unfortunately you really need to take these kinds of breaches seriously otherwise favoritism and others arguing their breech of contract wasn't as bad and suing for wrongful termination, etc etc I wish they could bend the rules for her because i truly believe it was not malicious, but that then puts everyone else and the company at potential risk in the future On the up side though, her past life channel 'Rica ch' has already gained over 115k subs since the announcement, she's taking a hiatus to sort her feelings out but she's planning on streaming again there once she returns
I'm still curious who's that third party mel shared secret with and vent with... Cuz that's her closed friend... If that third party friend keep it a secret mel wouldn't get terminated...
@@endellen3582 No, you misunderstand, if she leaked info to a trusted friend, no one should be able to find out that it happened... unless said friend *told other people* It's still mel's responsibility to not leak, but also the friend in this case would have had to leak the leak to someone that would then have said info get back to cover If their friend says nothing, there is no way to show or prove Mel leaked info
@@ninjablade2 yeah, that's why I find her clarification a bit weird. Obviously it's not impossible that her friend there leak the info again, but that's a bit too convenient. But, well. Even if the truth is more than that, it's no use to pursue further now that Mel has release her own clarification. Mel won't come back and everyone will move on in time.
dmn, after digging some infos here and there, being backstabbed by a bestfriend (if its true) is one of the worst feeling, I had to go through this as well, actually 2 times, but luckily the 2nd time didn't hurt at all and was expected by me since I didn't consider the person as a best friend anymore after we talked it out after the 1st fuck up, cuz once a backstabber, alw a backstabber
So wait, what does her leaving the company have to do with those two catching up irl? Cover shouldn't be able to dictate what their members get up to in their private lives if it doesn't directly jeopardise their work.
When people got hit by some big troubles, some people prefer to stay alone for a while and let their emotion be more stable. Especially here, with Mel's case. She got a serious trouble from her works. So she just doesn't want to do anything with anyone from her workplace for a while. I know because I was also like that.
Bruh..have a heart... Its difficult time for mel, maybe someday they'll have time to have a meal together, but not nowdays... And by breaking NDA cover probably threaten mel not to have any contact with any talent... And while its not necessarily true... You think you can have a meal happily when you got fired??with ex-coworker???
Cover corp more and more look like tradh can. When Mel was harassed by cover corp own manager they just ignored her and do some post incident statement. When Mel under stress pressure (idol company without mental care? Its joke?) made a mistake - instant termination.
Ding ding ding! Funny quiz time! Please answer this question: You just got fired from a company that you have worked on for years. You are heartbroken and sad. And suddenly a junior worker from that exact same company ask you to hang out and have fun. *What will you do?*
@@hashira4869 maybe but it's weird how all these Holo members act like she died, when Mel will disappear for the fans, while they are in a position to get a hold of her and do activities anytime. At least if they want to. Also: just reschedule the dinner.
@@赤ゲキI'm glad that there is still a decent human like you out there. My faith in humanity won't be restored, but at least it's good to know that someone with a good mindset like you exist.
@@赤ゲキno you are not wrong. But base on my experience, there is people polite and nice in front of me and then backstabbed me. So i don't really care how their attitude in front of me. I just need to watch my back😅
@@yoga2901 I have met those kind of people myself. My personal way of going things is first impression and also “polite first then depending on what happens, respond appropriately”. So the next time I see a betrayal, I won’t show politeness. Well, I mean I would just ignore them but if push comes to shove, the kid gloves are off.
Cara komunikasi Kobo ke Mel ini membuktikan kalau dia memang masih anak2 dan di sisi lain kayaknya Kobo gak begitu mengerti karakter orang Jepang pada umumnya kalau dalam kondisi seperti itu. Pake nanya "nande?" "nande?". Hati2 kalo orang Jepang dalam kondisi rendah seperti itu, salah bicara malah bikin mereka tambah sakit.....
kamu seolah olah mengerti meraka, tapi sebenarnya kamu tidak mengerti mereka sama sekali, karna yang kamu tahu hanyalah ketika mereka didepan layar bukan pribadi mereka saat dibelakang layar.
Not cool to kick ppl when they are down bro. U dont even know their relationship kenapa mau asumsi mcm2? Dorg berkawan lagi lama dari kau. You? You don't even know them. Who are u? Their mom?
@@prowse321 i think they can but you must use other account or other name not as kobo, exampla kson and guutara and rica was once do a offcollab and they fine before so maybe they can meet on private or not publishing it as long they not talking about job, i think it's fine
Can't believe so many people are taking cover's side on this. How could they not cut some lean on one of their most senior members, it's not like she had some nuclear codes or whatever. The fact that not even Fubuki knew what was going on because it happened so fast and Mel's rough history with management is worrying.
Maybe it's her choice, who know? Even he bye bye massage from Yagoo himself than any terminated talent(as far as I know) so, maybe it's her choice because of guilty. You know Japanese people is always a responsible one and so sensitive about a mistake. Even their goverment when making a mistake always resign themself from the government because of guilty and embarrassment. So maybe that's what Mel feeling. Until it's clear what's wrong with this incident we can't blame anyone.
NDAs are a big deal in Japan. Because a broken NDA is broken trust and there is no leeway to give. Cover is on the stock exchange and have to answer to many investors. If cover cut Mel any slack the auditors will go for their asses and Yagoo might instead be the one the chopping block. It could’ve been worse. I’ve heard of broken NDAs in Japan leading straight to prison time. Immediate termination is pretty standard.
You would understand once you grow up and have a job... If you said cover is dumb for not training their talents on how to avoid this kind of case AGAIN, I would agree with you
If they "cut some lean" they open themselves AND the other talents for legal complications if one of the affected 3rd parties in the info she leaked decides to sue, plus it would set a precedence where if someone else in future does something similar, they can argue "but you let it slide with Mel"....I think Cover didn't want to do this BUT the situation got their hands tied, plus in any company, NDAs are NDAs, wether YOU like it or not....Besides, if you read what Mel wrote on her PL xtwitter account you will see it was decided by her and Cover, not just Cover, she took responsibility for her mistake and the termination was the only viable option for all parties, and if you see the messages from Cover and other talents, it was an "amicable" termination, no ill will between them, but in this day and age if a company lets one talent free, how can they enforce the contract obligations with the other talents without being accused of favoritism?
What mel needs from her friends is time out of the house. There is nothing worse than being depressed and alone in your own thoughts.
Agreed. Kaela once talked about this, too. Long ago.
Being stressed is never good when you're alone. If anything, it is worse. Your stressful thoughts are going to overwhelm yourself. So, don't be alone whenever you're depressed.
just hope she got real good friends to spend out with, all of this happen because the friend she trust betrayed her after all.
Or...this is a crazy idea. She's going home to Osaka to be with her family.
@@hashira4869thats also getting out of her house and not being alone in her own thoughts tho
No problem ,Mel was never and she is never gonna be alone ,Matsuri ,Choco ,Fubuki ,Mio,will never leave her alone.
She also got Calli s back.
It’s a shame too since Mel is one of the sweetest members so her being gone is really depressing

I wish they could bend the rules for her because i truly believe it was not malicious, but that then puts everyone else and the company at potential risk in the future
On the up side though, her past life channel 'Rica ch' has already gained over 115k subs since the announcement, she's taking a hiatus to sort her feelings out but she's planning on streaming again there once she returns
I'm still curious who's that third party mel shared secret with and vent with... Cuz that's her closed friend... If that third party friend keep it a secret mel wouldn't get terminated...
i think it doesnt matter if its spread / or keep it as a secret as long as she leaked info outside of cover/third party is breaking the contract.
Maybe her ex
U know, revenge relationship things
@@endellen3582 No, you misunderstand, if she leaked info to a trusted friend, no one should be able to find out that it happened... unless said friend *told other people*
It's still mel's responsibility to not leak, but also the friend in this case would have had to leak the leak to someone that would then have said info get back to cover
If their friend says nothing, there is no way to show or prove Mel leaked info
@@endellen3582there will be no proof whatsoever if the third party never talked about it elsewhere
@@ninjablade2 yeah, that's why I find her clarification a bit weird. Obviously it's not impossible that her friend there leak the info again, but that's a bit too convenient.
But, well. Even if the truth is more than that, it's no use to pursue further now that Mel has release her own clarification. Mel won't come back and everyone will move on in time.
Man... I would've pushed Kobo to try again in a few days but she's going back
0:32 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
dmn, after digging some infos here and there, being backstabbed by a bestfriend (if its true) is one of the worst feeling, I had to go through this as well, actually 2 times, but luckily the 2nd time didn't hurt at all and was expected by me since I didn't consider the person as a best friend anymore after we talked it out after the 1st fuck up, cuz once a backstabber, alw a backstabber
I am sad too even tho mel not my oshi but she very sweet :(
I know Mel are the sweetest and kind, but i learned that don't trust anyone
Everybody loves mel
So wait, what does her leaving the company have to do with those two catching up irl? Cover shouldn't be able to dictate what their members get up to in their private lives if it doesn't directly jeopardise their work.
No, it's not like that, but it seems like Mel deliberately stayed away because it wasn't the right conditions to go to dinner at a time like that,
When people got hit by some big troubles, some people prefer to stay alone for a while and let their emotion be more stable. Especially here, with Mel's case. She got a serious trouble from her works. So she just doesn't want to do anything with anyone from her workplace for a while. I know because I was also like that.
😢😢
Mel is depresed indeed...
it's weird how after her contract got terminated, she cant even have a meal together? what a weird world of business...
Bruh..have a heart... Its difficult time for mel, maybe someday they'll have time to have a meal together, but not nowdays... And by breaking NDA cover probably threaten mel not to have any contact with any talent... And while its not necessarily true... You think you can have a meal happily when you got fired??with ex-coworker???
She can but cannot do that,she got hard time and fired from her job and u expect her to go dinner with kobo like nothing happend?
Cover corp more and more look like tradh can.
When Mel was harassed by cover corp own manager they just ignored her and do some post incident statement.
When Mel under stress pressure (idol company without mental care? Its joke?) made a mistake - instant termination.
💛💙🩵💚❤️💜🩵💜❤️💜🩵🩵
I don't get it, can't they still have a dinner?!
Mel is not in a happy place right now. Let her calm herself down. Maybe stay with her family.
Im sure they can but right now Mel probably isnt the right mental space to do it
I bet they have dinner but Kobo can't say it on her Livestreaming as kobo
Ding ding ding! Funny quiz time! Please answer this question:
You just got fired from a company that you have worked on for years. You are heartbroken and sad. And suddenly a junior worker from that exact same company ask you to hang out and have fun. *What will you do?*
@@hashira4869 maybe but it's weird how all these Holo members act like she died, when Mel will disappear for the fans, while they are in a position to get a hold of her and do activities anytime. At least if they want to.
Also: just reschedule the dinner.
Finally, there is no Japanese politeness
"We will move on and give you smiles.. bla-bla-bla"
Simple and honest as it is
Simple and honest but in a polite way. Does it hurt to be polite?
@@赤ゲキI'm glad that there is still a decent human like you out there. My faith in humanity won't be restored, but at least it's good to know that someone with a good mindset like you exist.
@@赤ゲキno you are not wrong. But base on my experience, there is people polite and nice in front of me and then backstabbed me. So i don't really care how their attitude in front of me. I just need to watch my back😅
@@yoga2901
I have met those kind of people myself.
My personal way of going things is first impression and also “polite first then depending on what happens, respond appropriately”. So the next time I see a betrayal, I won’t show politeness. Well, I mean I would just ignore them but if push comes to shove, the kid gloves are off.
@@赤ゲキ you are a good soul man
Cara komunikasi Kobo ke Mel ini membuktikan kalau dia memang masih anak2 dan di sisi lain kayaknya Kobo gak begitu mengerti karakter orang Jepang pada umumnya kalau dalam kondisi seperti itu. Pake nanya "nande?" "nande?". Hati2 kalo orang Jepang dalam kondisi rendah seperti itu, salah bicara malah bikin mereka tambah sakit.....
Langsung aja bilang ke kobra gan..
Kan karakter kobra bocil dan para member JP juga pada ngerti
kamu seolah olah mengerti meraka, tapi sebenarnya kamu tidak mengerti mereka sama sekali, karna yang kamu tahu hanyalah ketika mereka didepan layar bukan pribadi mereka saat dibelakang layar.
Not cool to kick ppl when they are down bro. U dont even know their relationship kenapa mau asumsi mcm2? Dorg berkawan lagi lama dari kau. You? You don't even know them. Who are u? Their mom?
Siap orang jepang makasih atas infonya 🫡
@@tiosfertop koboker mayoritasnya bocil dan gw gk suka dia. Makanya gw lebih suka ollie.
kobo you can meet she again but with the name Rica ch
Better not, otherwise breaking NDA would be Kobo
Please, not right now...
@@yong9613 yes i agree now if kobo talk about holo to mel then kobo is the one breaking nda because mel is now not holo
@@prowse321 i think they can but you must use other account or other name not as kobo, exampla kson and guutara and rica was once do a offcollab and they fine before
so maybe they can meet on private or not publishing it
as long they not talking about job, i think it's fine
@@junapin13 Better not risk... It's not worth it. JP paparazzi waiting for stuff like that to gain their clout and fame, why give them the chance??
Take care of your friends, fuck companies.
Can't believe so many people are taking cover's side on this.
How could they not cut some lean on one of their most senior members, it's not like she had some nuclear codes or whatever.
The fact that not even Fubuki knew what was going on because it happened so fast and Mel's rough history with management is worrying.
Maybe it's her choice, who know? Even he bye bye massage from Yagoo himself than any terminated talent(as far as I know) so, maybe it's her choice because of guilty. You know Japanese people is always a responsible one and so sensitive about a mistake. Even their goverment when making a mistake always resign themself from the government because of guilty and embarrassment. So maybe that's what Mel feeling. Until it's clear what's wrong with this incident we can't blame anyone.
NDAs are a big deal in Japan. Because a broken NDA is broken trust and there is no leeway to give. Cover is on the stock exchange and have to answer to many investors. If cover cut Mel any slack the auditors will go for their asses and Yagoo might instead be the one the chopping block.
It could’ve been worse. I’ve heard of broken NDAs in Japan leading straight to prison time. Immediate termination is pretty standard.
You would understand once you grow up and have a job...
If you said cover is dumb for not training their talents on how to avoid this kind of case AGAIN, I would agree with you
From the way Mel spoke about it she could have just been suspended but she didn't want them to go easy on her.
If they "cut some lean" they open themselves AND the other talents for legal complications if one of the affected 3rd parties in the info she leaked decides to sue, plus it would set a precedence where if someone else in future does something similar, they can argue "but you let it slide with Mel"....I think Cover didn't want to do this BUT the situation got their hands tied, plus in any company, NDAs are NDAs, wether YOU like it or not....Besides, if you read what Mel wrote on her PL xtwitter account you will see it was decided by her and Cover, not just Cover, she took responsibility for her mistake and the termination was the only viable option for all parties, and if you see the messages from Cover and other talents, it was an "amicable" termination, no ill will between them, but in this day and age if a company lets one talent free, how can they enforce the contract obligations with the other talents without being accused of favoritism?
LOl.
Lmao
invited her to dinner lol aint she broke
In baby language it means "buy me dinner"
You forgot she has an Automated Teller Machine called M-chan
its just her gimmick so she can off collab with backstory 😂
You know that was a joke for a collaboration, right?
well I dont watch her so.. one can go away ;D
true. i was like, who? oh k
Yep pretty much. I mean, like if you die right now (pls don't) no one's gonna care.
