JP girls? Only Fubuki keep the ball rolling with her short meme videos a month in I believe while the rest took awhile to get it rolling.
HoloEN somehow get it immediately a few days after their debut. Heck Amelia drugging viewers on day 1 was already X factor, while Gooruh “A” meme and character redefine from her old persona is also note worthy. Calli just casually drop F bomb and went freestyle, and Ina’s dad joke was so bad that it turns good later on.
Chicken had nothing initially beside being trilingual and Yuribait though she found her stand later on as a mega Simp who get the golden ticket and become work colleagues to the girl once she start offline collab and Holotalk series.

NijiEN need to do something in the extreme since they already get a Niji brand umbrella which can at least push them to 300K-400K territory if they play their cards correct.
A fucking meme makes vtuber special? Dropping f bomb makes you special aswell? Lets get real here if Hololive brand didn't explode in 2020 holoEN wouldn't be hype as much. If holomyth debut under nijisanji they would probably have the same trajectory sub wise/live viewers wise with nijiEN.

Moona dropped mad spaghetti when she first collabed with Coco for a Super Bunny Man stream. Moona has had training arcs for this day and with the SHEER FORCE OF INDONESIAN AUTISM smashed the language barrier so hard she became good friends with fucking Pekora, who is only 2nd in introversion to Aqua. So just give ya girl Cali some time man, she'll get there.

Also, I think some people expected NijiEN to really take off, when even their company has trouble building brand and their structure is not like Hololive's at all and personal accomplishment is on you. Nijisanji's only real brand power atm is in Japan and that's because they were the Japanese top dog for a good while. I'd suggest keeping this in mind and maybe y'all can err away from number fagging, not that y'all are yet, but maybe you can make sure not to.
I don't understand why they expect NijiEN to take off when nijisanji isn't even half of Hololive brand in the west.
 
Well, that meme review was really fun. In other news Kizuna AI had her last mini concert tonight. I'll buy/pirate it tommorow when I have time to watch it, and review it for all 5 of us oldfags that still watch her.

Not to hate on my girl Mori but yeah Moon has this energy to her man.
Maybe it's because she's had longer exposure to Japanese talent but man is this fun to watch
Agreed, Calli was in a difficult position. Nervous, out of her element, had already seen half of the featured memes, and the half she hadn't seen had half the punchline visible. How do you laugh at the reveal when you already figured out what you were going to see? Frankly I'd say it's just not her area, that's all.

Now Moona, she's naturally funny, but it's not just that. Even when she's not laughing at the meme or making her own jokes, she finds something to say to move the conversation. Never a straight "no" - always a "no, but" or a "yes, and". Kind of like they might teach in an improv class.

Anyway, you love to see it - Coco's channel with 50k live viewers, no slow mode, and no chink spam! Even though my account seems to be shadowbanned, so there is collateral damage... oh well.

Nijisanji in general has a severe "lack of clippers/translators" problem, that much hasn't changed in 6 months.
When confronted with this, clippers say that Nijis are just hard to translate because of all the local in-jokes, which I think might be the height of hypocrisy and bullshit. But what they do is free so I'm not complaining.

There was a point where Nijisanji was getting official fan clippers who would do translation, I think they had a very surface level version of that on a Niji channel, but it's not the deep and impressive project Nijisanji needs in order to fix this. Sadly their lack of clips and translators gets fixed the fastest they wanna put money down on it and they're a Japanese company focused on Japanese growths, they don't care nor need to.

Not a bad take on the cover, as tired as everyone is about its over-saturation at this point. Haven't really kept up with her that much lately with just the occasional quick peek in on her streams. Seems like she's still growing her views/sub-counts at least, so that's a plus.
Oh yeah forgot to mention something about Lyrica and Kaheru participating in an online convention of some kind, no clue what the deets on that was, but hey, merch happened. While Lyri only had a keychain, Kaheru had more stuff on offer

Also anyone noticing that the HoloAlt Full Trailer Thumbnail changes daily?
Think they should have held off on changing the thumbnails until much later, considering how Technoblade got a few million more views on Potato War 3 after changing the thumbnail due to tracing issues.

wonder how the posterbois of CCP are taking it
Who among the girls might have even a smidge of interest in playing EVE Online anyway?

The more popular people will get clipped, which leads to more popularity. This much is true. but I again call back to quantity. but look at this shit. 50 talents in 2019 alone. You may have the best movie of the year, but if it's released on the same weekend as 10 others, good luck. I don't have time to sort through that shit, nor do the clippers. So there probably are hidden gems in Niji, but unless they get discovered by a very loud fanbase who makes them known they are SOL.
 
Edit: she escaped containment

Mori "Bocchi" Calliope does it once again :story:

maybe I'm late... but when the hell did Ina's Japanese become jouzu. Wasn't she above Ame in terms of JSL but below Calli?
That comparison is a bit redundant, since Ame knows as much Japanese as Gura does German.
Ina is able to collab with JP talents and keep a conversation going, but shes even slower than usual and her vocabulary is limited compared to Kiara's fluency.

They have, wisely, realized that Karen fucking up her own meta and consistently accidentally breaking the fourth wall is canon for the Mori character and part of her charm.
"accidentally"

The 3.0 models are so good, the fucking smirk got me so hard when I was watching it live.

Didn’t see anyone else mention it, but Kano (formerly of Hanayori Girl’s Dormitory) has apparently gotten a makeover and changed her channel name to Mahoro Kano channel.

She’s also hidden all her videos that aren’t music videos, and it seems like we’re all going to pretend this is her debut (stream title is “first presentation. nice to meet you, though I feel like we’ve met before. maybe I’m misremembering?” which seems appropriately tongue-in-cheek). She was pretty quiet after HGD broke up, so I hope things have finally shaken out for her.

It’s a cute look, though it seems very overdesigned compared to the old Kano.2C89D8D9-1909-4A6A-94F3-7550EA4BE187.png
