> Give me a break management! Let me sell more merch! Please!
> Thank you guys for a lot of SCs.
> ..but we're still in deficit !? *laughs*
> The budget this time was about 1/4 from last time, but it's still a deficit ?!
> Merch is pretty big. Normally I spend about as much as I get from merch.
> Till now I made stuff which was basically "well I'll get the cost back from merch anyway, so eh".
> Isn't it too little?
> It's a bit concerning. I haven't earned that much this year. It's pretty bad. Might be over.
> Once I pay my monthly bills, insurance and stuff, I think I've earned only about 500k Yen.
> There was too much stuff to spend on. I made 2 original songs. There's dance lessons and stuff..
> There was the cost for commissioning art as well..
> If you talk about how much of my personal funds I spent, it's all of it.
> The money I've spent in these four years, it's almost all been from my own pocket.

> I do 3D streams to move the hearts of my audience, but..
> WHY NO MERCH !? OI ! Isn't this the best time to sell !? Why is there no merch !?

> So I have by birthday in June right? My budget is ZERO! *laughs*
> What do I do? I'm actually seriously worried, no joke.
> We had 2 chances to sell merch till now, right?
> So on birthdays we'd get merch, and the sales from those used to be the budget for next year. Same for anniversary.
> That's no longer the case!
> *chat proceeds to spam red SCs*

> WHY IS THERE NONE !? COVEEEEEEEEEEEEER !
> Should I sell some myself? *laughs* I'll sign some rocks or something and sell them.

> Music is pretty much free to listen to nowadays. There's a problem affecting the entirety of the music industry.
> And that's "isn't it hard to sell music?" and "why is music not selling?".
> When you create one song, and you get earnings right?
> When you talk about recovery rate, it's a big deal if there's at least 10 sales.
> I mean, you can watch all of it on Youtube. And a lot of sub-based services have free plans as well.
> So, for now, since there's no merch this time, the budget for the next one will likely be quite small. Can't even be sure if it's 3D, since even that costs money.
> But if I don't work hard and put that effort, no one would want to buy the merch! So I'm worried about how to fix this situation.

> Why is there no merch?!
> But please listen.
> Next year we're getting two merch chances again!
> So my 3D budget will be low, but there'll be 2 merch releases.
Uhhh seems that this year's trend is being reverted? At least for Astel. Probably because he's the only one who can move merch.
