Cover Corporation, the company that owns VTuber agency Hololive, has announced that it donated 5 million JPY to Japan’s Red Cross Society in order to help victims affected by the 2024 earthquake that occurred near Noto Peninsula. This would equate to around $34,580.
In a statement on Cover’s website, the company states that it hopes this donation will aid “in the restoration and reconstruction of the affected areas.” It also hopes that the money will help with disaster relief. Finally, it expresses sympathy for the victims and prays that the area will recover soon. Japanese fans have replied to Cover's Tweet announcing this, thanking the company for its support.
The 2024 Sea of Japan Earthquake struck on January 1, 2024 close to the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture. While Ishikawa Prefecture suffered the most damage, the earthquake was so massive that it caused severe damage in other Prefectures as well. It was the deadliest earthquake in Japan since the ones that occurred in Kumamoto in 2016. Other Japanese companies that have donated money include The Pokemon Company. Square Enix has also responded, halting the auto-housing demolition timer for the time being.
