I can see where you are coming from but let's see if the theory can hold up when Fuwamoco do one of their morning shows (next is tomorrow 5 pm CEST) or their Sakura Wars stream this sunday (10 pm CEST). I don't think the better streaming times will change much.
Speaking of the twins: I can't sit through a whole steam (too much uwu) but I enjoy them in small doses (like clips)

Nice, I'll probably watch them on Sunday but only if their delivery doesn't collide with Amiya's possible "geurilla" stream.

Dizzy had a hot mic moment at the start of her stream, giving her nephew nuggies and then going into her room saying "I fucking hate children." She's going to clip it out, so feel free to archive her insanity.
EDIT: It's just not her day. She spilled her soda twice and bit her tongue to the point that it's bleeding.

Selen provided clarification last night at the end of her stream. In essence, Selen contacted various talents (EN/ID/KR/JP) to find dates and times that work for them for her grand Fall Guys event. Upon agreement with those looking to play in the tournament, she announced ahead of time when the event would take place. However JP management overruled this and stated that the dates must be approved by them, atop of other misc. corporate bullshit that is to be expected. Selen seemingly does not wish to deal with the paperwork and headaches found with Japanese autism, will now focus on EN exclusive events going forward as the methods of requests/approval aren't as negative.

In turn, the Apex event stream she did was handled completely via EA. That's right. EA contacted her directly and does not wish to engage with Niji EN management. So expect Selen to become an indirect EA spokes person with or without Niji in the near future.

The absolute state of Niji management. Wasn't there still one Niji EN graduation pending according to the /vt/ leaker?
We are so fucking back. MGS permissions restored

Hope they can now restore her privated VODs of MGS 1-4. I'm still waiting for Pekomains to complete his supercut series of her MGS4 playthrough.
Funny coincidence is that Hyde drew Bijou/Fuwamoco Diamond Dogs just a few hours before Pekora's tweet

Shu and/or Selen are expected to be next, based upon recent actions and general speculation in September. Fulgur had also considered departing when his recent health issues came up handicapping him for close to a month. When you factor in the names departing and what has replaced them, the state of EN is dire.

I still feel baffled by how they have somehow managed to fuck up every single imaginable thing they could this year; they couldn't even seem to get the Roa/Narukami trial done, and Japan seems pretty heavily biased in those situations. The machine translations of the stockholder meeting seemed pretty disastrous too, with the most empty, safe, and completely meaningless replies imaginable. Makes me wish I could actually find a Vtuber from elsewhere to like, because Niji feels FUBAR at this point.

How far in advance are the contracts for these waves signed in advance? 3 or 4 months? Idk how they're still getting people signing on with them with how demonstrably shit they've been this year and how they're barely a buff to numbers compared to being solo with how many talents they've shit out diluting the waters. They don't even seem to be providing managerial support since the talents seem to be the ones who have to arrange for anything besides jumping through retarded Japanese bureaucracy.

You know what they say. A sucker is born every minute. Niji benefits from being one of the biggest games in town, which gives them leverage a no name company pulling this crap would have otherwise. It will take a while and many more disasters before their pool of potential talent dries up.

A year ago, I couldn't foresee this happening at all. Sure the hires for ILUNA sucked and XSOLIA showed some signs of things returning on track, but the foundation was still together and things looked rather healthy going forward with the general success of WrestleSanji and concert announcement. Whilst many assumed it was a passing bit of drama, the ripple and damage caused by the "Secret GC" chat can be felt still. It basically was the domino that has caused a chain reaction of complete utter shit for EN. I give it less than a year until it's merge into JP.

It's a little complex, I apologise for the word salad. The formerly dubbed "GAMERS" ended up becoming the poorly put together "Krisis" and those auditions happened way before any of this drama started last year. What we do know about this recent wave is that it was intended to be eight to six members large and we only got three, with one outright quitting (his outfit being leaked) whereas the others fired for internal leaks via Discord. However we do not have confirmation if these intended hires are the ones leaking to 4chan related to graduations or someone jaded within the branch still. In order to save face, "Krisis" was aligned with the recent Japanese VTA waves to imply they are a larger united unit than a dud scrambled together with two frogs and a Black.

As for contracts, Mysta has basically confirmed that while the "2 years" is what they ideally want you to achieve as an active talent; they have rolling renew points. This is partly why Yugo left so abruptly despite appearing at NijiFes weeks prior to said termination. Basically everyone is treated like freelancers, likely to avoid some sort of tax nonsense in Japan. If anyone was looking to bail next it would either be someone from ILUNA or XSOLIA as the renew dates for them are upcoming. Once again, we only have this information to work with via the confirmation of Nina and Mysta's graduation's activating post-anniversary dates.

I for one pray that Kyo does not renew. But with the way streams have been going as of late for Ver, I wouldn't be surprised if he is the one to drop out next.

As for hires inbound? We have two more audition pools finalised and confirmed, I should know, I applied for them. So we're ensured at least twelve to eighteen new hires by early 2024 assuming NijiEN opt to rush one out to distract from Mysta's departure. I cannot imagine the influx of applicants will be as high as it used to be, assuming a new audition pool arrives.

That isn't a Japan thing. Pippa has said that Phase Connects talent are all independent contractors, not employees, in one of her past streams.

legally anything international is a clusterfuck, phase etc. would need to limit their pool to the same country, which obviously wouldn't be a good idea.
 
Someone on 4ch dropped a YT channel with some old Pippa stuff on it, vids from like 8 years ago. It doesn't have anything new per se, known name she used at one point, self-namedropped herself in one vid, vid with her wearing the furry mask, but it is interesting having her speaking with a more normal voice.

Shameful of us indeed. :(
