Mococo's natural voice is so soothing and nice to listen to (and Fuwawa as well).
Incomplete (missing 10 minutes) archive of their Twitter space:

Reminds me of this clip lol@Takodachi Why is your Oshi so autistic and bad at interacting with non japs? Is it genetic memory of being a comfort woman?
...Also, I'm gonna start shilling this dude, who uses a 3D model ripped from Tarkov. You may recognize him as he sometimes pops up on Sleepy's tarkov streams, and he's also friends with Starcat (another frequent Tarkov partner of hers).
Lia/Neuro-sama collab is live.
The more I think about it the more Nijisanji saying truth about why the sales are down is worse than lying and trying to cover up the real issue. You launch overseas branch with people who speak in english, yet their JP audience was apparently so massive that them losing interest immediately resulted in a large drop in revenue. Even if you assume that all of them already left, this is at least 16% of audience being JP. And if they are only starting to leave it would make the number even bigger. Meaning, your overseas talents have little to no foreign fans willing to spend money on it. And their solution to this, instead of increasing customer base by organizing events, doing promotions, participating in collaborations with brands and whatnot is... to release more members and cut costs. Unless Riku's master plan is to pawn off the company to the highest bidder in 2-3 years I don't understand what they are trying to achieve with it. And that's a really shitty assumption
I would normally suggest they're making far too many assumptions without some hyper detailed per-user analytics and those would be really hard to associate the Viewer with the Buyer of goods. Especially on a Quarter by Quarter basis. They might have some visibility into it, but I'd be really surprised if they can get that type of resolution, outside of of Viewership to SC conversion.
Nijisanji isn't that well run. If we take their likely over-assumption as fact, it means their entire Margin is basically in JP buyers of merch. Which likely means they aren't selling merch that a Western Audience wants to buy. Cover might eventually clear 5 million USD a year in plushies alone with how well those have been selling, while at the same time switching far more to a sponsorship/IP type revenue model.
The one thing that I really think people miss on the regular is just how well run Cover is. Yagoo deserves a massive amount of credit in this regard. Cover has its issues, but they've fought against the brutal "fishbowl" mentality that pervades Japanese companies. Someone that knows Moonrune idioms a lot better could find the correct one, but a Japanese friend explained the philosophical approach. It kind of translates out to "fishbowl", but we'd call it "big fish in a small pond" while not quite representing what happens. It's "anything outside of Japan doesn't really exist".
Nijisanji has that Anime Production Company issue where they don't really know how to sell outside of Japan and have failed miserably. Cover knows how to sell outside of Japan, they're just pretty screwed by the still super high air freight rates. They badly need a distribution hub out of the States.
So, if everyone is Hololive was going to cover the song, might as well have nearly everyone cover the song? haha
Gotta wonder if they aren't shooting themselves in the foot with their tiny share for talents, who don't have any reason to be motivated to promote the merch particularly.....I think the only thing that is for certain is that NijiEn is a smaller draw for merchandise purchases in the first half of 2023 than it was in the first half of 2022. That's not a good sign for a group that significantly expanded during that same time period.
