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

Yes, that is correct. I was thinking in The Phantom of the Opera since she mentioned it, or maybe Ghost Love Score, but I think the notes that Tarja and Floor hits are too much for IRyS, she has a beautiful voice but not at that level. Also her style is different. Nevermind, I just want to hear some chuubas sing metal songs. X-Japan covers would be cool too. ;-;

Oh, yeah. I forgot about Nightwish's PotO.

 

[Rezza]

Natural-voice Luna sounds exactly like how I imagined her would be. Wonder if one day she would stream with that voice

 

[Big PiPi Energy]

So we infiltrate PhaseConnect, take over their entire mod team with kiwis and then let Pippa sow true chaos. I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[Kazuma]

The Russian Empress is doing a 900k endurance karaoke stream

 

[Scuttle]

We can't discount that yet, I think. I have a feeling that IRyS Minecraft JP Server shenanigans is a way for her to measure how far the management would tard wrangle her. Don't forget, she's a talented singer with lots of connection. She might want to know what her position is in the company as a talent

I don't watch her, but I can't help but think she isn't stupid enough to try strong-arming company policies within her first month.

She's a talented singer, yes, but she's also being given the strongest position and income she's ever had with that talent in this job.

Ockam's Razor dictates she's just a bit of a retard at technology. If she wanted to see how far she could push the envelope she'd take a shit on YAGOO's desk or something.

The Minecraft servers will be merged soon anyway, so it's not like it won't be easy as hell for future generations to accidentally end up in the wrong world. No one is going to punish her for that. The 1-month solitary confinement rule is kinda dumb anyway.

No wonder Niji is trying to chase after that with NijiEN. Sadly though, they don't have someone like Coco or Moona that serves as a bridge between branches, so one branch's success won't trickle down to the other (oh yeah, trickle down strategy, I guess that's Holo's strategy for synergy)

Hmm.. I'd say they have the people to be just that already. It's about how Niji is structured with it's small circles of livers being tightly knit that it's hard to initiate interactions. Something that will be fixed with time. And those who realize that there are only benefits to interacting with EN branch will succeed the most.

Let's focus on something important. Boomer pirate new costume is coming up. She's hinting sexy swimsuit. Holo Summer is back baby!

From her reddit announcement:

I have been asking cover to wear a swimsuit for two years because I really wanted to.

However, I was continuously rejected, and the answer I came up with was this costume.

 

[ChefKiss]

So IRyS didnt get in trouble for leaking a test stream, doxing a manager and then doxing herself by replying to a tweet with her roommate account
but she did get in trouble for connecting to the wrong minecraft server even though both servers are connected

Good to see they have their priorities straight, management remains QUALITY

At what point did she get into trouble for the last part? From the things I read here, it's all nothing burger. Must be another slow day.

Also, directly after that, Kanata is doing a full Ikemen host club call in stream. I can see a lot of Niagara Falls from the members already.

And for double trouble. Suisei singing stream after a while. Same time slot as Kanata stream because why not. Let them just fuck my DD lifestyle. Man, I can't live like this.

Wow, we have reached 2000 pages huh?
I have to say though, reading people talking about Indonesia and Reine as this royalty place is hilarious. I mean, sure, there are elites and royalty/nobility- like class of rich and powerful people. But inter-class interaction still exist here. I mean you know one of Reine's cover? The group that did the arrangement is the group her ex belongs to.

By the way, I don't want to sound numberfagging, but remember Ollie's APEX collab with Gundou? Ollie's number is stays about twice or thrice Gundou's number. I guess it's an undeniable proof of Kaigainikki's power

No wonder Niji is trying to chase after that with NijiEN. Sadly though, they don't have someone like Coco or Moona that serves as a bridge between branches, so one branch's success won't trickle down to the other (oh yeah, trickle down strategy, I guess that's Holo's strategy for synergy)

The reason Ollie has more viewers than Gundou is two-fold.

1) Ollie has more than twice the number of subscribers.

2) Gundou got absolutely fucking DUNKED on by her fans and antis alike after making a joke about tax avoidance (I think that was the subject matter). Her like/dislike bar has been turned off for months now, and her average viewers has only recently started to show signs of recovery.

Spoiler: Sperging about Niji's branches.

But the idea that Niji doesn't have 'bridges' is just not true. Sara Hoshikawa has been acting as the EOP pylon for a while, and Oliver Evans - albeit only having debuted a week ago - has already displayed Bilingualism and an interest in collaborating with Finana to play RE6.

NijiID has plenty of English/Japanese speakers; NijiKR is practically just NijiJP Lite after they quickly realised the audience is microscopic, with JP-leaning Nun Bora and EN-leaning Ban Hada the branches' fastest-growing members. NijiEN has Petra and Rosemi who are fluent Japanese, Elira who is very competent and has done JP-only streams and collabs, and Pomu who is also seemingly pretty competent.

The problem with Niji isn't that it lacks the personnel to bridge the gaps, it's moreso that it - at least until very recently - lacks the impetus. Coco's impact on opening the western market for Japanese V-Tuber agencies was swift and sharp, but she didn't really do much to bring the BRANCHES together, she brought the FANBASES together. Anycolor have been exceptionally slow to respond to her. But you can see that starting to change.

Spoiler: And so, what is changing?

Perhaps most notably is the changes made to the Nijisanji Koushien Draft. The company's biggest summer event, this is the first time members of the other branches have been pickable options, which meant there were about 140K live viewers who got to see members of Nijisanji they've perhaps never seen before.

There have been a lot more international collabs since the arrival of NijiEN, with big JP names like Sukoya, Mayuyu, and Chigusa joining them. Nagi So of NijiKR got a subscriber boost for planning the most recent Gartic Phone collab.

Oliver Evans, a fluent English speaking Japanese man, has recently debuted and is already interacting with NijiEN. In fact, there are a lot of NijiJP members interacting with NijiEN on twitter.

Spoiler: So what's the verdict?

Unfortunately, Nijisanji's biggest problem is that there are simply so many members that any normal person will be unable to keep up withthem. It's nothing shy of daunting to be someone who wants to get into Nijisanji but has no idea where the fuck to start or what's what. If you're acclimated to Hololive's way of everyone engaging with everyone, not knowing who certain members are can be a huge turn off.

Not to mention, some members make it less obvious than others that they're even affiliated with the company, and there is less onus on 'supporting the struggling members' as there is in Hololive due to its 'just subscribe to the ones you like' philosophy, meaning an AkiRose situation is incredibly unlikely to occur.

With Hololive, most people subscribe to everyone indiscriminately - even if it's physically impossible to watch all their streams - because that's more or less the culture, especially from the western fans. They want to support everyone equally, and it's easier to keep tabs on them all in case a surprise collab shows up. Nijisanji doesn't have that kind of culture, and certainly not the western fanbase to try it, so the idea of 'trickling down' doesn't really exist.

Despite that, steps are being taken by Anycolor to hopefully continue to grow their foothold in the western market and have that be a gateway into the JP branch. More than half of NijiEN speaks Japanese, with 2 of them capable of doing things similar to Kiara's HoloTalk and live translation. Oliver may end up introducing the other branches to the JPs, too, we just don't know.

We will see in the coming months just how hard they plan to go with this.

Why do people have this idea that "Holo fans sub to everyone"?

I don't know where this came from. I understand why people would think that they do given how Aki got an significant boost in subs when someone translated a clip of her crying about not having that much of a fanbase or how fans in Reddit keep begging for people to sub to Mel, but consider that the most subbed Holo has at least 10x more subs than the least subbed Holo,

It's then obvious that such a culture doesn't exist because otherwise every Holo member should have at the very least 1 mil subs or that Gura should not have twice as much subs as the 2nd.

It's true at least in comparison to Niji tho, considering Holo also rarely release new talent it'll be easier to just sub to the new talent and then unsub if you find them unenjoyable.

Also i 100% agreed with how hard it is to get into Niji. It's not hard to enjoy one of the talent's livestream, but getting into them in general is hard because the sheer number and how some people (me included) is programmed to expect talent to collab with each other ever so often. This is also why, personally, its easier for me to get into VSPO's brand than Niji's, even if when you count the number of talents that i personally enjoy, there's a lot more on Niji than in VSPO.

EDIT: Noo marine's costume with earring, that's one thing i hoped she doesn't wear

 

[Bingeamint]

Fuck it I'm caving in, I'll watch it on my phone in silence when there like 130k plus viewer's I can't miss out now.

Inb4 susantube AI senses a tiny bit of skin and bans her on the spot. I would expect nothing else from the horny pirate now.

EDIT: THE HAT AND PONYTAIL COMBO

 

[Grass4Cats]

Oh so her swimsuit costume that she likes to use as thumbnails is just being given L2D form. Even has the same sunglasses and hat, with obviously extra stuff like ponytail.

Thank you for bringing back Holo Summer in some capacity, Marine
