But Donald Trump is also nominated, so it's bi-partisan.

VShojo put out the second teaser for the new JPs. This time Hestia, who we already know, joined Red-chan from yesterday's teaser. If they keep up this daily pace we'll have all of them by Thursday or maybe Friday if there is a mystery 5th person, which would leave the weekend at the earliest for debuts.

Who is Red chan?

So last sunday (10th November) I went to the Comic Frontier 19, a comic-market event in Indonesia that usually act as the prime hotspot for all-things weeb stuff, including fan-merchs of vtubers like hololive and nijisanji. I mostly just enjoyed the time there (and yes, I gave cosplayer a gun, as best as I could because I wasn't really planning to do it though I still carried one just in case), but I got tempted enough to badger one or two people at the event about the whole holofans vs nijifans thingie:

So I went to a random hololive fanmerch booth, asked if the booth has any issues from 'nijifans'. Booth owner said nothing, kinda knows about it but so far nothing happened to them
Then I asked a random Kotoka cosplayer whether there's people that say stuff to her for cosplaying as Kotoka. She said that nothing happened (at least openly), and that despite knowing how bad Nijisanji's rep has gotten she still following for Kotoka.
And then I asked a bunch of niji cosplayers on my way back home and I'm pretty sure I botched it up but the answer's the same. Nothing happened.

Guess the nijisisters paranoia is just paranoia for the sake of paranoia, at least in ID.

Aside of that, I was able to see the people behind ex-NijiID that are making their own utaite group TypeXBeat (they're doing great, all things considered!), took a glance on not-Iofi and not-Moona as they preparing to leave the event for the day, stumbled at some HoloID fans (including one that has a Moona Itasha) going about how glad they're able to look at their oshii's roommate and then talking to an italian foreigner who also there to look at them roommates (after watching the Hololive concert on different event yesterday).

I'll find a way to put the vtuber cosplay photos into a gallery, but any recommendations other than Imgur?

2 Questions:

Is moona fat or is that just a meme?
Did you see Jimmy the Thai Rosetai?
what kinda merchs was not-Iofi selling? Her own BL doujins?

Also, ImgBox works well as a gallery dumping website and embeds on the forum

Who is Red chan?

Name given by the community to the top left girl, nobody knows exactly who she or the two bottom ones are right now and it's looking more likely that they are reincarnations.

1. I can't tell. She probably expected that there will be people trying to guess whether she fits the scale or not, so she dressed up as uh...


but judging by the leg, not up to the scale.

2. Jimmy didn't go to the Comic Frontier and sticks with Indonesia Comic Con (where the Holoconcert is happening) on both 9-10 November.

The only notable fans I met were:
- Daniel Jiao (ID Moonafic who owns a Moona Hoshinova-themed Itasha car)
- At least two unknown fans, one apparently recognizeable enough at meet and greet events but no social profile (that I know) while the other I only really know because he's a Pemaloe/Kaela simp who understood the risk of going to not-Area15/HoloID1 booth while still wearing holoID merch
- That Italian foreigner fan who, from what I gleamed from my ESL conversation with him is there to buy stuff and try looking at the not-HoloID girls before flying back to the land of pasta and silly hand gestures. Cool guy though, wishes I got his name.

3. It was BL stuff but I wasnt able to look at it close. TL;DR I forgot the booth number and the signal was bad to the point that I cant load twitter to check it (booth number was on her twitter username)

By the time I went there, they already in process of fully clearing the booth and leaving.

Who is Red chan?

vshojo fags calls them red-chan, hestia, plagiarism-chan and pink-chan I believe

Name given by the community to the top left girl, nobody knows exactly who she or the two bottom ones are right now and it's looking more likely that they are reincarnations.

Context on plagiarism-chan

Ollie privated her roommate twitter a few days ago. Some people were taking her menhera tweets the wrong way so she wanted to keep her safe space safe. "Shoulda done so from the start", she says.
A bit too late to do that now, but if it makes her feel any better so be it.

 

[MornLurker]

Specifically the statement that "my managers will be surprised to see you in auditions" is an in, in my personal opinion. As in, ID's managers knew her already and didn't know/think she would be available. Gamers still had to audition, but they knew Fubuki and IIRC management had worked with Mio on something prior to her auditioning. They were in almost immediately.

EDIT: There are other streams with more specifics but I will have to go through a lot of vods for that and it's been years now. Take it or leave it I suppose

EDIT2: Also pretty sure that some of ID gen 2 were nepohires but I'm not 100% on that.

The only possible theory for a nepohire in holoID sphere is Reine but even without her status, she still has a high chance of joining through a normal audition alone because she was already a well-known cover singer in the specific youtube community.
I honestly don't recall a possibility where ID nepohire became a thing because of how they picked their talents (Ollie and Zeta were both low-subs vtuber before joining holo, Anya is still an anomaly to this day and the rest of them rarely have an online presence), if you lined up their PL the only one with decent career before holo was Kaela and none of them knew each other at first.
And even if I knew Lyrica was friends with them at some point, I never bought the claim about someone trying to push her into holoID because, again, one of the main qualifications is that you need to be able to SPEAK Indonesian. It doesn't matter if you rarely speak it, but you would notice that they often (if not always) use the full Indonesian language for any official holoID stream/event.

what kinda merchs was not-Iofi selling? Her own BL doujins?

3. It was BL stuff but I wasnt able to look at it close. TL;DR I forgot the booth number and the signal was bad to the point that I cant load twitter to check it (booth number was on her twitter username)

It's a Monster Hunter fanmerchs and other stuff related to moona/risu/ollie's alternate persona
As a side note afaik while Iofi is into BL stuff she rarely draws anything related to it, you would have more chances of seeing her drawing her own self-insert with her favorite KHR boy instead though


(obviously I had to buy Gek's stuff, too bad she doesn't allow photographs but seeing her post about taking picture with a Risu cosplayer was enough to give me a chuckle lol)

So the reason why nene took hiatus is because someone broke into her house(don't know if she got robbed) but they also killed some of her beetle. She moved back to her parents home after that.

 

[Shuba]

Jesus man. As she was getting ready to stream a few months ago, Nene went to the convenience store to get a drink and when she came back, the place was suddenly a HUGE mess. She didn't really go into detail but the implication was that someone either broke into her house while she was gone or was already in there from the start. She was so terrified afterwards, she became incredibly paranoid and distrusting of people. She moved in with her parents while everything was figured out and became a shut-in until she was ready to come back. If you hear some noises in the background, it'll be because of her parents doing stuff.

At the very least, she seems to be doing much better now. She meme'd the whole "re-debut" thing, brought NePoLaBo on VC to help shill her merch and is currently singing some karaoke. And her mic prop is transparent for some reason so she's having a ton of fun with it.

Edit: Here's a clip going over what she said:


Did some minor corrections to the post as well.

[Aquatic Novellite]

That Korone quote of "I didn't even have to take an interview" was not because she was let in instantly due to favoritism, they knew who she was and were desperate to have her in to bolster their talent pool.

Imagine being the manager who greenlit Korone, and then watching her debut live.
