Nina/Matara got a new outfit, and the bounce sliders are basically set to max.
I agree with most of the post but I want to single out this point - most corpos do limited time voicepacks etc., and for good reason. FOMO (fear of missing out) is a successful business tactic since people are more likely to impulse-buy something if they know they might not be able to later. If a potential customer's reaction to a merch announcement is "maybe later", you've probably lost that sale.
For those of you who may have missed it a couple months ago, Watame released a song and music video that oozes production value, it's something special when a talent can combine singing, writing and production value to their songs. There's even a few lyrical jokes in English and Japanese so turn on the subtitles(even the SUBTITLES have great production quality)!
I think the issue is that they're moving from their old model with multiple outfits to a brand new model with just the base design. It's also probably refreshing to know that you can just throw your money at the project, get a outfit, and don't have to worry about management canceling either because they're cunts or because "talents are only suppose to get 1 outfit per year" bullshit. I do agree though that spacing out the outfits is better for profitability of the outfit stream.

I think this is part of the "talent freedom" conversation that usually gets skipped over - obviously people will have opinions on how the context of working in a corporate environment affects the entertainment value of a stream, and we've covered that ad nauseum, but there's also the fact a lot of streamers do not understand how to most effectively monetise their content and instead overindulge on things that would provide a better return on investment if they remained a novelty. I think one or two outfits a year is reasonable, since outfit reveal streams are also competing with other event streams like birthdays, anniversaries, and holiday celebrations (which often come with their own merch lines) - there can be too much of a good thing, that lessens the impact on the audience.
I didn't know she actually went into detail about the lawsuit on stream. Good to know. I'll have to look for the stream after the lawsuit was publicized to confirm if this is what she said. That being said, this doesn't surprise me one bit now that I think about it. During the big earthquake in Japan this past New Years' Day, she was still streaming. A lot of fans were worried about her getting in trouble with management for streaming during a natural disaster. She basically said she didn't give a shit about getting in trouble because she's leaving in a month anyway (lmao). She also said she wouldn't be sending her superchats to charity because she needs it to live. This also explains why she re-debuted so quickly with a new live 2D model and merchandise from day 1 on her re-debut stream. Dragging their feet to help her with the harassment issue for two whole years and then making her use all her earnings for lawyer fees is pretty fucked. I'm hoping they offered to subsidize some of the fees, but I am not holding my breath.
Tbf to the ex-Niji's I think they've been so starved for new outfits that they're going crazy with ideas they've had for years, they'd get at most 1 year before and sometimes not even that. Same reason they're getting 3d so quick. I'd imagine when they have a few choices in their wardrobe they'll probably slow down.
A lot of vtubers just don't realize why some things are done routinely across numerous corps in the industry. Sometimes it's just Japanese habitual autism and other times it's actually a proven strategy. For instance, a while back Lumi stopped including which games she was planning on playing in her schedules she'd post. I assume this was done because she didn't want people to see the schedule and go "ew, I don't want to watch that stream because she's playing that game" to bait people to show up anyways and become regular watchers.
Kiara is EU friendly mostly. Kaela is catchable from time to time iirc.
Didn't read. Corpos bad. Indies good. Talent freedom. Fuck idols. Cope and seethe.
While Kilia simply exists as one of the best vtubers in EU and none of you mentioned her.
