My bad, yeah the chatlogs between her, the ex and i cant say the current gf cause everything has gone on lockdown about it is pretty nasty yeah.

Figure I should clarify here is that the exbf just wanted to be friends with benefits to which initially it seems she agreed to which is bad enough but then tried to blackmail the current gf of her ex trying to have her break it off with him and threatening self harm...its honestly a cycle of mess where no one comes out on top and every gets torpedoed. 3/4 of the people are not good people in this situation. Even the current/ex bf? has been kinda memeing it up.

Boy, this thread is sure a wild ride.
Sounds like she's a pretty awful person.
I think the main villains here are Runa and the Entrepreneur.
The GF didn't handle it all well but, well, she was being emotionally blackmailed and threatened so I can understand her reaction.
I feel awful for the streamer bf in that he's had a pattern of being cheated on. He's probably doing memes partially to help cope, but it's a bit lousy to try and cash in on it... Though, I guess if anyone is gonna cash in, it's best the victim does it.

Jeez.

While I normally agree, this wasn't just someone expressing an opinion that some people took issue with. Being a VA and singer is all about reputation. She was a guest at various promotional events for her characters to help promote the various franchises she worked with. The thing is her characters and herself probably will not have many fans anymore after all of this because something like this ruins your reputation which makes your and by extension your characters and music unmarketable. It's unavoidable something like this would affect her professional career.

Poor guy, I'm kinda surprised he didn't do anything to her, especially after what happened to him before. At some point it's gotta be enough.

Sound Orion’s album was like 10 days from release won’t she be held liable for at least some of the wasted launch pressing costs?
Surely CDs would be pressed by now

The signing event on the 3rd must have had 250 copies at least - I have a post from Momoyo Koyama which don’t know if I’ll get now

While I understand this, and while I can understand how this affects the fandom, I find that this tight connection between profession, fandom and personal life is one of the most poisonous aspects of Japanese Popular Culture. Quite honestly, I'm not happy with anyone here (the (ex-)boyfriend bearing no blame on this, of course). Literally nobody. Not her, not the guy, not the guys girlfriend (though her behavior is largely understandable... largely, not entirely), not the Netizens. No one.

This thread is making me sick NOTHING justifies an internet counter attack or Doxing a person or making private drama public. No one is right here and I have a bad feeling I know how this will end and that makes me more sick.

Post removed. We can stop the spiteful comments right now. No one here knows the intimate details of these people's lives. None of us are in a position to make judgements upon them.

Any further spiteful, judgemental posts will be removed.

This does leave a question though. If an album was already made, what will its fate be then? Will it remain stashed in a vault like several recordings by notable and less notable acts? Will it eventually be released? Will it be destroyed? It's bound to be lost media, it seems.

I think I said it before and I'll say it again: Were this done by a man, things would've been different. Specially with the degree of detail regarding the intimate aspects of this. This was meant to humiliate, pure and simple.

That's my point - the Sound Orion Album march was supposed to release on October 27 so you would 'assume' at this point the CD's have been duplicated and are ready to be distributed. I find that retailers normally get their stock like 3 - 4 days before release so they can prepare shipments for day of release shipment.

There was a signing event with all 5 members on the 3rd October with those who preordered.

As the artwork of the poster is now "old" artwork with her being removed from the group are they just going to shred the posters or let the people who asked for them send them out ?

^

I think not selling the album is going to constitute an economic loss, really. Taking into account all you've mentioned... I think they might eventually release the albums with new artwork. They could perhaps release a version with her removed from he mix, but I think that could be costly.

The announcement said there would be significant revisions to the labum so I think dropping her from the mix is likely.

The question is will they go on as just 4 or get a new member from within the ranks of Stardust.

If it's delayed I'm OK with that but I do want the poster as I managed to get one signed by Momomoyo Koyama. Whe Gamers run Sound Orion web sign events they let you pick the member who signs your item and those slots sell out FAST!.

Yeah, I suspected that much. They wouldn't throw a entire album to the waste bin just like that. With that said, anyone who can grab one of the discs sent for destruction will be in possession of a rarity.

The degree of detail was due to the GF leaking everything directly as opposed to the usual "being spotted with someone", as for the whole being canceled and blacklisted from everything, this JUST happened some months ago to a man and he's lost a ton of roles just the same, even with no detail other than "cheated lol".
