Something kinda random. Petit from NijiJP was doing a Powerwash collab with Towa and Astel:

(She didn't put Astel's model on screen because they hate him)
Towa wasn't streaming her POV, which I thought was just cause she didn't feel like it. While she was chatting with Astel though, she told him that they're not allowed to stream it. He was pretty sure they were fine to, but Towa told him to look closer at the details or something and he understood what she meant afterwards.
But Holo had all perms confirmed about 2 years ago:

Not to mention, Izuru
played it a few weeks ago and the EN girls
play it very frequently, with a few collabs happening just last month. Towa has also mentioned playing it a ton offline. Something likely changed since then as it now seems to be that, at least on the JP side, Powerwash is one of those games you have to get perms in advance every time you want to play? I know there's a few games like that; Subaru had to do so every time she played Uncharted for example.
Have any of the EN girls talked about it recently? I thought it was kinda interesting considering how much the EN girls play it, but how little the JPs do. (The last time a JP girl played was Kanade back
in May and AZKi
in January before that.). I'm sure there's also just a lack of interest on the JP side but the difference had me wondering a bit. Especially since Powerwash is a good stream game for OCD autists like Towa.
