Wasn't this rebrand planned since E-Sekai took off? I recall discussing it way back when that they were planning to do it in order to hopefully revive their channels under ENAfter a good night's sleep, and without reading the thread to see if this take was given:
I wonder how much of idol paving over HE and sharpie-ing "EN" on the concrete was pressure from Brave Group or whoever their new investor-soon-to-be-owner is.
I will accept clocks for repeating someone else's point, I will also accept migos for timelooping the idol HE -> EN thing.
Can you link the posts/any evidence? I'd be happy to be wrong about investor meddling.Wasn't this rebrand planned since E-Sekai took off? I recall discussing it way back when that they were planning to do it in order to hopefully revive their channels under EN
I spoke about it here but I'll edit with the idol announcement if I find itCan you link the posts/any evidence? I'd be happy to be wrong about investor meddling.
This was likely planned for more than a year. Probably since Lily's graduation or even before.
Here's Aviel's tweet announcing the re-debut plans in January of last year:
The article in the tweet was deleted (probably got lost when Idol remade its website) but there's an archive here.

He goes in more detail about re-debut plans during one of his newsletters 2 months later:

The issue isn't that Brave was involved but more so how long it took. Aviel said more details would be announced a few weeks afterwards but there was nothing. People were thinking August might be the month since both Katta and Nikki's birthdays were then, but the only thing that happened was Katta got birthday merch that maybe showed a new design. After that, it was more nothing until the announcement yesterday. That's more than a year of mostly silence. Maybe the Israel situation was messing with their plans but who knows? The reception to the announcement seems to mainly be positive at least.
Phase fans have been working over time, I kind of respect the hustle. Every other place of discussion I see them like, "Man, that's crazy... Sorry Nijifans... you know who might cheer you up? I know this cute canadian chihuahua... a couple of her streams will have you right as rain."Scarle pissed off Twitter people gaza isreal shit

As a Phasefriend, it is tradition to sell Phase like a drug dealer sells drugs.Phase fans have been working over time, I kind of respect the hustle.

Replace "canadian chihuahua" with "big titty seiso" or "bilingual singer" or "autistic programmer" etc. Comment sections, the Nijisanji reddit, other forums... "By the way, I've discovered this little company called Phase connection? A coffee company or something... But they have their own vtubers... ah but you don't want to hear about that... unless..."

A updated version of this chart which includes DEV_IS can be seen in this video, but it was never added to the website.
The holopro site is also being updated with a new ad campaign:
I quite like the tagline: "Idol or not. Virtual or not. It doesn't matter."
I don't know that he ever tried to hide it, but yeah same guy.Katiekat? The troon that tried to hide that they're troon?
