"We have received numerous comments regarding a post made by our talent, Laplus Darkness, on X on October 17, 2026. We would like to explain the circumstances leading up to this post and our response to the matter. Regarding the circumstances leading to the post in question, after interviewing Laplus Darkness, we have determined that sexual images exposing private parts had been unilaterally sent to her account. Furthermore, as such incidents had occurred in the past as well, we understand that she posted the message impulsively to express her strong refusal of these acts of sexual harassment. Sending sexually explicit images to others is a clear act of harassment and is an extremely malicious violation of our policies—one that we cannot tolerate under any circumstances. Such behavior undermines the environment in which not only the individual but all of our affiliated talents can work with peace of mind. Consistent with our established policy, we will take strict action, including consulting with the police and pursuing legal measures. At the same time, we recognize that parts of the post in question contained expressions that lacked consideration for the viewers. While taking into account the harm the talent has suffered, we have reaffirmed—in consultation with the talent—the importance of exercising due care in word choice and delivery when posting, as well as consulting with our company whenever there is uncertainty about whether to make a post. Moving forward, we will continue to balance appropriate guidance with care for the talent, while providing support so that our talents can work and communicate with peace of mind. Furthermore, regarding this matter, in addition to defamatory remarks directed at the talent, we have also observed aggressive comments and behavior between individuals with differing opinions. We strongly urge you to refrain from any defamatory remarks or behavior toward the talent or others, as well as any conduct that constitutes sexual harassment. If you come across such posts, please do not take action on your own or spread them by quoting or reposting them. Instead, please use the reporting functions provided by each service or contact the reporting hotline listed below, and please refrain from contacting our talent or other relevant parties directly." <Cover Co., Ltd.

皆さん、私のチャンネルが急に更新されなくなってしまい、申し訳ありません。ハードウェアに問題が発生し、おそらくPCの電源ユニットを交換する必要がありそうです。新しい部品を注文する前に確認すべきことがまだいくつかあるので、現時点では連絡手段がスマホに限られています。🙇‍♂️

Partial translation from their announcement: Reasons for the Revision: The smartphone game “hololive Dreams” (launched in July 2026), which we co-operate, recorded stronger initial momentum than initially anticipated, and the licensing and tie-up segment has outperformed plans. On the other hand, the merchandising segment has progressed differently from the initial plan due to factors such as inventory shortages in the first quarter and the timing of product launches, including TCG releases. The resulting changes in the revenue mix have also affected the expense plan, leading to a cost structure that is lower than originally projected. As a result, while revenue is expected to be generally in line with the plan, profits are projected to significantly exceed initial expectations. Based on the above, we have decided to revise upward our second-quarter (cumulative) earnings forecasts for operating income, ordinary income, and net income, as described above. Future Outlook Regarding our full-year earnings forecast, we are maintaining the current forecast as it is currently difficult to reasonably estimate the impact that the positive factors from the first half will have on business operations in the second half, and we are continuing to closely examine the sustainability of these factors. We recognize that the current business environment and earnings trends are generally solid, and should it become necessary to revise our earnings forecasts in the future, we will announce such revisions promptly. *The above earnings forecasts are calculated based on information available as of the date of this announcement; actual results may differ from the forecast figures due to various factors in the future. contents.xj-storage.jp/xcont…
