WACTOR held public auditions on Bilibili, this is apparently the person that audition labelled #1 (video from vt):
The originals aren't up as far as I can tell, but here is the least awful recording I can find with a cursory search: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av593403428 (at 30s and at 26m 10s)
New announcement from LoveLive!Days magazine says that Love Live is getting a "virtual school idol" project/spinoff soon. This would be Bamco's second project involving vtubers after Denonbu so you might expect this to be something similar.
I'm glad you were the one to say it first. I'm a bit lost when it comes to Yugo at least. Is Yugo actually a guy with a voice like that? I've read people who claim it's a woman who's just playing the character of a effeminate male. Is Yugo actually a FtM troon? In which case there goes any interest in Niji I had. Inviting the trannies into your fandom will ruin and destroy it.

Woman playing a male is a thing in of itself in the Japanese media and vtubing world, but whether Niji intended to go full western transgender or not I'm not sure.
I'm sure it'll be clipped everywhere once Kiara finishes her stream, but apparently she didn't know about the off collab with Ame, Ina, Fauna, Kronii, and Mumei until the day before when it came out in a conversation with Ame. She said she would've tried to make it if she had known about it.
I doubt it was intentional, and Ame and Kiara have both been vocal about a planned AmeTori off collab eventually, but that's gotta sting a little bit.
Especially since even Bae knew about it despite being in Australia.
Let's hope she pulls an Irys and starts streaming more and maybe get a new outfit to distract from the controversy. I'd happily trade an emotionally unstable necromancer for an office lady who is secretly a degenerate.
We don't know Yugo's roommate but in the same breath there's no reason to assume that, because it's 'EN', any deviation is something woke.
Kronii's roommate is non-binary iirc, Uki's PL character was too. I didn't see Luca's roommate before the post was deleted, but even if for argument's sake I acknowledge it, Luca is still male. It's only a 'thing' to us because we actively look for old details, but Kronii, Kiara, Luca, Nina, Yugo, Uki etc haven't actually ever done anything in the scope of their activity as members of Holo/Niji.
Anyway, Elira has posted one of the most kino schedules I've seen in a while. 4 RPGs, too, so the ones complaining about impromptu collabs will probably find refuge here.
I finally did it...
It's been a few days so I'm not sure if you guys are still interested in the Rushia bullying story, but I took the data from Eddie IX and plotted it in a calendar so you can see visually whose stream times overlap. He also mentioned something about looking at special streams so I marked down the outfit reveal and 3D stream.
Nice, this is presented beautifully! Really helps with visualizing patterns.
So we can see that hardly any individual Rushia stream was overlapped by only one person, they were all either overlapped by multiple or had no overlap at all, including the "special" streams.
Some senpais overlap more than others, but none really stand out in the amount of overlap, not even Matsuri or Miko.
Visually, at a glance, I think there are a shitton of streams just barely avoiding overlap with Rushia, starting just after hers or ending just before hers. But I'm not gonna rrat about that.
Also, hadn't thought of this before, but I checked some of the suspected senpais against everyone else in the data. As a percentage of total hours:
- Matsuri overlapped more with Choco, Aqua, Mel, Haachama, and Okayu than with Rushia
- Miko overlapped more with Aqua, Akirose, AZKi, Okayu, Haachama, Korone, etc etc, than with Rushia
- Aqua overlapped more with Korone, Akirose, Matsuri, Miko, Okayu, Subaru, etc etc than with Rushia
This is by percentage of total hours, but the senpais with the larger total stream hours still skew it a little. Either way, nobody was overlapping more with Rushia than they were with plenty of others!
I think the conclusion to take away is that there are two possibilities:
1) her senpai beef had nothing to do with overlaps, it was a misunderstanding/mistranslation on the part of the fanbase, or
2) the beef did involve overlaps, but it was all in her menhera head because there's clearly nothing intentional going on here
The Apex thing is from some /vt/ sister's misunderstanding of a joke from the dramatuber's show. I'm not even sure if Rushia's "senpai" trouble and her stream overlap complaint were about the same person. It read more like a list of complaints than a single story being elaborated, but she writes like she's crazy and kinda stupid and purposely being vague, so it's confusing.
Funniest/sexiest story would be Roboco stomping around the office nude, bullying Rushia with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, etc., so we should just accept it.
Yeah that makes sense, the complaints being separate. Does that mean she complained about people overlapping with her in general, then? Either way, I think any issues with overlap would have to have been in her head, because the overlaps are all pretty similar and nothing stands out at all. It'd be pretty easy to fixate on one thing and then start seeing everything through the lens of confirmation bias.
Yugo's (and Finana's) is technically incorrect, though, as he was having technical difficulties and the stream was a non-starter. He peaked at 48K in today's debut stream and became the 2nd-most subbed member of the wave.
I did notice their debut numbers were huge, but wow, more than double the previous set of debuts. Luxiem must have really drawn in a lot of new fans to the scene.

Ethnic wise, unless they are all ethnic Asian then yeah maybe 50:50 gay or lesbian even then it’s also consider “trendy” for Asian kids to swing that way to get parent of their back. The only exception is if they are Thai, or Filipino then yeah being LGBT was actually a think historically in Thai and Philippine.
Other group of ethnic Asians are mostly for fun and giggle as well as get parents of their back once they hit the latter half of their 20s (when their parent actually start doing those marriage meetings etc.)
Honestly, Niji need to go full yolo into the troon territory now as they already get success catering into the fujos.
Kronii’s roommates, Dottovu does not go around waving as far as I know and Kiara ironically a straight redhead white girl who is the enemy of troons as she’s everything they will never will be.
