On the same date, fans in Indonesia will no longer be able to purchase hololive merchandise and digital content through both platforms nor access the digital content brought on SocialBuzz. Therefore, hololive Indonesia urges fans to immediately download all content they already own before that date.
It was further explained that the operational closures on the two local platforms were because Cover Corp‘s e-commerce site had grown rapidly, both in terms of accessibility and variety of merchandise available to fans in Indonesia, making it possible to serve fans globally, including payment and shipping support in the country since 10 July 2024.
Interestingly, back in December 2023, hololive Indonesia collaborated with Tokopedia to promote the store’s 12.12 Discount Promo sales event.
