> Namirin--aka Irys--just came up on Twitter to vent. Rrats talk about how it could possibly be Cover Corp not getting her what she wants on her anniversary, since it's been an entire fucking year now and she hasn't gotten a 3D, a new costume, or even a redesign. The more reasonable rrat is that her EP and new songs got leaked by Cover before she even got to announce it, especially considering she's worked her ass off and fucked over her voice to make it.

 > As we all know... Tsukumo Sana... will be graduating by the 31st of July. Cover has offered everyone merch refunds for those that want it. (July 12)  Context:   As you guys know, Sana's been taking too much time off because of her health problems. She barely streamed, took a 1-month break a couple weeks after her debut, and she's been extremely busy with her other job as an artist (lots of her arts are used in gacha games like Arknights). It's gotten to a point where even other people were starting to call her a leech for not working as hard as everyone else. She'd often stream on her personal account too. She was always the odd one out.   

The more reasonable rrats I've seen is the fact that Cover may have tweaked their contract obligations more to have Sana stream more hours, since for an entire year she hasn't streamed as often. Sana may disagreed with a lot of the things Cover wanted from her and opted to not renew their contract.
