Gura is serious about the idol thing and asked the former idol for lessons. I've seen this movie before, queue the training montage.

Damn, she's serious huh? Its still heartwarming seeing how she was once just an aspiring VA, and now she becomes a huge idol with nendoroid and Japanese newspaper ad. And she's just an American living in the US as well

so Kiara's gonna get her in the ring with an Eva cosplay, that's what you're telling me.

Man I always heard about the Eva cosplay and referencing to her doing some type of wrestling. Had to look it up finally, and I really do feel bad with her in that. Such an uncomfortable situation and weird as hell. I'm glad though she got away from all that and can see where the self esteem issues come from now looking into her past.

Really fun stream. Uki, Rosemi, Pomu, and Finana ended up joining in.
They also accidentally went to a public world and Luca couldn't resist talking to his stream sniping fans. Nothing yabai happened but I hope that doesn't cause the vod to be removed (talking with randoms is generally frowned upon, but Selen and Rosemi's Ready or Not stream where they did that is still up so who knows). It was cute to see that Luca remembered the names of fans he met on NijiExpress:

He also made one of his female fans melt in embarrassment shortly after that lol.

Seems like Virtual Talent Academy (Nijisanji's project on a Vtuber academy a'la Yoshimoto NSC) is moving to the next stage, they seem to have started going from 30-minute zatsudans to short edited videos; some are making skits and others are playing games. Definitely can't help but feel curious about how the first batch is gonna end up.

Each talent has their own Newspaper ads for one prefecture based on arbritrary factors (except for Holostars, Council and HoloX (with Sora))
The above picture is how the newspaper ads were distributed.
And because only 1 talent is featured for each prefecture, the ads themselves have become highly sought after and collectable.

Ina's ads for example was distributed in Hyogo because they are known for the Octopus (Octopi? Octopuses?)

While Kiara's ads were distributed in Kansai because they have a tourist spot called "The Phoenix Fold"

Some dude tried to explain the reasonings as to which talent was chosen for which prefecture. It's based on conjecture but it's all in the spirit of fun

If you want to see the ads for yourself, or if you want to find one of your favorite, just look up this tag in Twitter

This is some extremely useless analysis, but I was admiring the little stamp-like thing that's unique to each talent (the thing in the top left corner in both of the examples in the post I'm quoting) and assumed the symbol used in each was a stylized version of their oshi mark emoji, but a some of them actually use something different, usually more recognizable or iconic to the talent in question than whatever their oshi mark is; Pekora's is the carrot design on her dress instead of👯, Korone's is a finger instead of 🥐, Kanata's is her four-pointed halo instead of 💫, etc. Nene's is interesting because she actually has two oshi marks, 🍑🥟; Only the peach is used, not the dumpling.

In the only case of me not understanding why they decided to not use the oshi mark, Polka's, instead of 🎪, uses... whatever they used instead. Is it a ball? Is it her propeller hair spinning? Why not just use the tent? Am I just dumb? Well, yes, but seriously what the hell is this supposed to be (if you've made it this far and still don't understand what the fuck I'm rambling about, again, it's the stamp like design towards the top right in this example):

On the opposite end, if you've never seen Yozora Mel's oshi mark, you'd probably guess it's the bat emoji, right? Wrong, it's 🌟. Did they use bats, or candy corn, or something else instead for these advertisements? Nope!againwhy (2).jpg
Not only did they not use something more fitting to better match Mel's theming, the emoji is called "glowing star" and that's just... a star.

Completely unrelated, but I quite like IRyS's signature, definitely the best of EN so far.

Dude. Mio's is a fucking horse. It most likely has more to do with the prefecture than the talents themselves

Looks to me like a ball that would have "wedges" of different colors, like this.

For Polka, it's actually the ball from her 3D debut that she balanced on.

As for Mel, I'm thinking it's because of her last name? But, yeah, bat would've definitely been more fitting.

Not saying that the subreddit was ever good, but it went even more downhill when Coco left. Though it's much better than Twitter, the next viable alternative for the general fanbase.

It went completely to dogs (or rather even more than a reddit board could) as a result of the typical leddit white-knight campaigns - which they also waged for Coco, to the obvious effect. Any criticism of holoactivities nowadays will likely get you downbooted and branded as an anti by at least one idiot unless you have a reputation on that shithole. Cover is most likely still automodding every account based on age and karma too, so you end up with an already established circlejerk, with its own circlejerk rules and pecking order and absolutely no "new blood" whatsoever to shake things up.

Saitama being represented by Kanata is the funniest thing. Saitama is notorious for being a lame suburb of tokyo.
