Probably what is going on. GEMS Company must have gotten a massive injection of money to get both of them, considering >>2074005
Their online activities are 1 song a month and one livestream (for the whole group) per month on their official channel. The talent has their own channel as well. Their offline activities are bigger, but I don't see why AZKi wouldn't be able to accommodate both in her schedule.

They absolutely do celebrate it, and if anything they are more cruel about their jokes. I still can't believe the effort they put on the trailers below to only turn out to be just that trailers, and nothing more.

GEMS COMPANY recently had two singers leave the group, so I assume Square Enix were scrounging around for new faces and struck a deal with Cover to get their hands on AZKi - we'll know soon if AZKi operates under both labels, but I highly doubt she'll be doing any streams for Cover. Which, in a way, is kind of funny since she just opened memberships, but stranger things have happened to vtubers.

The people who are saying "haha it's just an April's Fools!" are dense because Japan really doesn't do April's Fools.

All tubers under GEM have personal accounts. It might be that the personal account of AZKi will be under Cover, instead of GEM and her GEM activities...will be under GEM.

Is easy to cut contact, even if she doesn't want to, if schedules are packed with stuff and neither of their schedules match and have to schedule the collab weeks ahead with the contingency that if something more relevant happens it takes precedence over playing with pixelated legos.
