General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

Now that the FBK tweet its mentioned:

Does NijiEn and vshojo have a sort of deal to freely collab between their members? or nijiEn its forcing their members to collab with the other agency as part of the deal?. I ask that because i doubt every single member of nijiEn its interested in vshojo, like in holoEN you can tell only kiara, calli, ollie (and maybe bae?) are interested on a collab either with nijiEn or vshojo, while the rest dont even interact with them on twitter nor give them a mention.

About the tweet itself: i hope that means either nijiEn or holoEN mid management rotated so now the new ones in charge sees a collab between them possible. That hopefully can calm the masses specially on Kiara & Pomu side.
 
Update to this:

Sketchek (Sonny Brisko) has seemingly unprivated his entire backlog of old videos at some point recently. They're all back. The only thing is that the comments on all of them are now disabled, probably to avoid people namedropping his activities as Sonny.

Just thought this was worth quickly documenting here.
Kinda surprising, given that Sonny out of all the ENs seems like the one who would have the most reason to "hide" his PL, though of course anyone who went looking for it could have found it anyways.

Speaking of Uto, what happened to her? I know she ghosted around christmas time with zero communication for a few months, but then popped up a few weeks ago with a stream. I don't think she really offered much of an explanation (what was it even? moving? that took 3 months?), but recently I heard she just did that one stream and then has been absent again since with no explanation again?
At this point I think unexplained absences are just the norm for Uto. Honestly this is kinda why I never became a fan of her.

I mean VShojo is pretty well respected and liked by Twitch vtuber community that a fair amount of NijiENs come from. I think it's a case of some members of NijiEN being friends with/fans of VShojo and others just joining in on collabs when invited by the ones who are into VShojo.

I wouldn't read too much into Fubuki's tweet beyond her thinking that the feesh is cute and her not caring about tribalism (which was pretty evident beforehand based on Fubuki's personality).
 
I think the usual reason people brought up from the niji side is china going crazy about anything hololive-related, it wasn't so obvious with 1 - 3 but luxiem got absolutely huge on bilibili and it's not crazy to think they actually planned for that.
There's no reason to believe any of this, though. The collabs were blocked before Luxiem debuted, and if NijiJP and HoloJP can interact just fine then NijiEN being barred from HoloEN in case it upsets antis of a Japanese V-Tuber (Coco) is just implausible.

Nijisanji and Hololive are both huge in Taiwan/HK and less so mainland China. It just doesn't hold up.

There is also relatively new issue coming with the males and that chaotic style of streaming with members "invading" each other's discord calls etc. that EN branch became notorious for. You can't guarantee that what started as Pomu x Kiara collab wouldn't suddenly have some loud dudes in it taking over.
This highly unlikely scenario would require Kiara to be invited to a Nijisanji server, when the most probable scenario is that she and Pomu will just call each other or set their own mini server up separate of everyone else.

So yes, you can absolutely guarantee that the collab won't suddenly have a bunch of loud dudes in it lmao.

Not that I see the issue. I thought HoloEN was more of an 'entertainment group' over their idol senpai? They're going to have to get used to male voices when StarsEN comes out.

If by 'deal' you mean 'barely any red tape stopping them' then yes. I sincerely doubt that VShojo's management is capable of tabling any kind of formal 'deal' with Nijisanji and there's basically no reason to do so.

I ask that because i doubt every single member of nijiEn its interested in vshojo, like in holoEN you can tell only kiara, calli, ollie (and maybe bae?) are interested on a collab either with nijiEn or vshojo, while the rest dont even interact with them on twitter nor give them a mention.
Not every member IS openly interested in VShojo and that's why only a handful of them have ever been in smaller-scale collabs with them. Not sure what to tell you, it's very easy to just not watch streams that involve them given that they make up the tiniest minority of NijiEN streams.

Just as an aside, Mumei has never interacted with NijiEN on her Twitter but seems to be a fan of them on her personal (Reimu especially). She is also good friends with Bao and the Twitch Indie scene, yet she and the rest of Council are still yet to have a collab outside of the company (I believe). Twitter engagement alone doesn't say much.
 
Despite the tease, Hammer Mommy isn't going to be Hearthstone Mommy.

An expansion is coming out tomorrow. New shit day is the one day that it's a "buff" game. Usually it's just some colorful stuff on the screen during a chat stream.

I've been very slightly betrayed.

Kaela playing Henry Stickmin. You're going to be able to hear a pin drop for most of that one.
 
Why is she playing Wild Rift instead of the PC version? Do they not have permissions?
probably because before joining Hololive, she used to play the mobile version she getting used to the mobile one + the mobile game market in ID is so big so it's no surprise. ID3 really tries to secure the Indonesian market more than the other two previous gen.
