Creating a Safe Space for Our Talents and Fans──The Past and Future of holoplus
hololive production’s official app, “holoplus,” was released in August 2023, with the tagline “All about your Oshi. One app” The app not only lets users keep up with the latest updates on their favorite talents, but also offers features that enable interactions between talents and fans, as well as among fans. Recently, its use has expanded further, with some of the talents featuring holoplus on their streams. What does holoplus mean to hololive production, and what does the company hope to be in the future? As holoplus reaches its third anniversary, we interviewed T, the team manager of the holoplus Team in the Commerce Department, who is responsible for the app's planning and operations.

The Guardians Behind the Scenes: Moderators Who Keep hololive production Safe Around the Clock
What hololive production values most is its relationship between talents and fans - a connection sustained by the community and the messages shared by fans. Most of the comments sent through livestreams or social media provide encouragement for talents and motivate them to keep moving forward. However, some messages can cause emotional harm or infringe on their privacy. “Did something controversial happen?” “Who’s behind that VTuber?” “What’s their past life?” Behind the scenes, it is the moderation team that quietly monitors such conversations to keep the community safe. At COVER, the moderation team operates entirely in-house, monitoring content around the clock, 365 days a year. The team’s responsibilities include monitoring comments on livestreams across video platforms such as YouTube and Twitch as well as managing anti-defamation measures on social media and major online forums. It also provides multilingual coverage, including Japanese, English, and Indonesian, and other languages depending on the region. With over 70 talents and a multilingual environment where both streams and comments are delivered in various languages, how did COVER come to establish such a robust moderation system? We spoke with O and W from the Legal and Intellectual Property/Crisis Management Department, who oversee the moderation team, to learn about the team’s formation, the unique strengths of COVER, and their passion for their work.
