It seems to me there's been a massive increase in group concerts, whether it's tours or one-off events. Back in the 2020 to 2022 we could expect plenty of streamed individual 3D concerts because Japanese live venues were still restricted, and because there was no real EN and ID studio access. Now there's always a concert series ongoing, you add 22 EN and ID talents who want the same access as JP used to have, and you have the pick of venues across Japan, NA, and SEA. The company's content mix has moved on from the days of weekly birthday and anniversary concerts.

Twitch has reached the 14/F/Korea point in their demographics data. Which means 80% of the 18-24 year old set is Feds. Twitch has become literally Fedposting.
The logical conclusion would be that conditions for talents are worse now than they were then. If you're able to get on with your own stuff and it's working and you're getting paid, distracted/absent management honestly isn't the worst kind of management to work under.
Only in crappy old apartments. Of course those are the only kind that tend to be rented out to filthy foreigners.
7 million is better than I was expecting but it's still not great for someone with experience. Were they offering that much 4 years ago or is this after not being able to find anyone at what they were originally offering?
If they paid top dollar they'd find people, even in Japan, and they'd find more people if they were open to hiring foreigners with the skills. There's a whole lot of laid off game developers in the west who have the skills and would jump at that job, probably even at 7 million.
Legit laughing at these guys thinking filling these kinds of specialized positions is as easy as hiring a fucking fry cook at McDonald's. I've seen job listings with close to 6-figure salaries remain open for almost a year just because a) the qualified talent pool with the necessary experience was small to begin with, and b) those that do qualify either fail the background check or get tossed at some point in the multiple interview rounds with senior leadership.
They only recently announced the addition of Unreal Engine 5 to their live performances. I don't know if that's on top of their already proprietary tech (which would be another bottleneck as new hires without experience in it would have to be trained/onboarded for it) or if they're fully transitioning to UE5.

At least they've had more 3d lives than Phase has had merch shippings
Also I believe the number of 3d events has gone up on a year on year basis. Nowadays, even if each talent only has one 3d live each year that's still over 59(not counting justice and FG) shows a year.
Personally I'm 3d live fatigued and would rather they switched to variety show type events but I guess everyone wants their oshi to shine on stage so it's whatever.
IDK about Fauna, but despite many agreeing that 2022 was overall a very bad year for HoloEN, it was actually a very good year for Ame. She managed to set up her home 3D studio and even managed to produce a full-fledged 3D live for Kiara. I'm pretty sure she also enjoyed the entire off-collab arc with Myth.
Update: It was during the middle of 2023 where she started to lose steam.

I think even with the new studio it was absolutely overbooked, there was a period when several talents went MONTHS waiting for 3D shit, it has gotten better but 2 lives per year for 68 talents is 136, + fes, + summer, + new years, + solo lives, + any sort of promotion which involves 3D, + EN concert, + the males, + other shit.>spend 2.7 billion yen (~18 million USD) to create one of the largest studios in all of Japan
>still pumping out financial statements showing enormous growth
>proceed to cut the amount of 3D productions each talent gets
Good job!
I don't think it's feasible, if you insist on them lying about there not being enough people, their employee count keeps growing by quarter and they have job listings out for engineers in that field. I have not checked but the reports do break down the departments and I think I remember there being a technical staff one so check if that grows.

This is the Actual Problem
I swear some of you fucks have the memory of a goldfish.
We discussed this at length.
One central part in the 3d live change was that talents went overboard with them on any chance they could get. Remember that most of them are insane workaholics. And the growing number of them doesn't help in the least.
Therefore, and for fairness sake, those new rules where implemented.
And myth got compensation lives for missing out during COVID. (Can't remember if council did as well)

Haha nobody cares. Holo evil. Ratio'd and blocked.
>working with Lotus Juice AND Shoji Meguro
She's gonna be in Persona 6, and the zoomers who only experience SMT games through Let's Plays are gonna be so mad
From begging for Persona 3 perms in a stream to now doing a collab with not only Lotus Juice but Shoji Meguro as well.

Honestly not surprising based off the decks they we're playing.
For a bit of Yu-Gi-Oh autism and personal opinion, evil twins was always going to be the better deck because of multiple reasons. Though don't get me wrong both decks can be strong, eldlich is better as a stun deck in my opinion, which I'm going to assume biboo didn't build as it's pretty slow, boring, and frustrating to go against. It got two inherit flaws that make it the worse deck, those being it's a trap deck and the golden lord himself.
Trap decks by their nature are inherently slow as you have to usually wait till your next turn or your opponent turn to use them, now this isn't always true as Konami sometimes makes it so you can set and use them that same turn Labyrinth for example. The other flaw being the Eldlich the Golden Lord is because the deck is very over reliant on him, which goes back to the traps and spell. If you don't have him on field you loose the other benefits of the traps or able to summon something else to extend your board. Not to mention both forms of the golden lord have next to no protection on themselves, and not a sold way to OTK.
The Evil twins on the other hand are just the better deck as it like to spam out monster, usually can play through disruptions, and link climb. I would say they can lean towards a bit of a glass cannon but it can sometimes push though it. The twins are constantly able to search the other out and reviving the other if they get destroyed, even using extra copies of themselves at times to get the other on board only to revive it and then draw or pop something. Even after they get to the technical boss monster, Trouble Sunny, it's better used as disruption and otk set up as it can tribute itself to summon the twins back in the field and because they can come out at the same time they both get their effects as well. Even the spells and traps good for starters or extenders depending on what you need them to be but usually are for taxes or disruption. Just in archetype evil twins are better, but can be even stronger if you combine them with sprights as they add in more disruption and grind game.
Thats my autism on this and probably wrong on some aspects. I don't particularly like playing ether deck but that's just preference. Though I do think if ether of them played more towards there characters lore, Evil twins or Melfy or Purrly works for Fuwamoco, while for Biboo, Tistin or Ashened or Adamancipator.

Ike Eveland's PL has just released a new cover.
I don't think he would be looking to leave, so this is a bit odd since I think Niji PLs releasing actual content is rare.
There was also this one together with Hakka's PL just a few months ago:
He also met up with Kuro yesterday and seems to want to spend some more time with him while he is still in Japan.

Yeah, IMO Eldlich is much better as a splash engine in something else, I used to run him in an Ayakashi deck before the entire thing got completely power-crept. As soon as I saw FWMC running twins I knew they'd probably win with no issue. Still a fun little sponsor set-up though, I hope more of the girls get into it. Watching Rosemi try to make her rose deck work was always a fun time back in the day and Yugi-oh is at its best when you're playing off-meta archetypes against friends anyways.
