Chihaya got 300k subs and is singing to celebrate the milestone.
Re:AcT aired a short for their second March debut, a bit of Dinner Song.
Quite impressive strong singing voice.
They're also opening ticket sales for their Re:AcT Fes "Polar Opposite" on 4 May (Zaiko is the online streaming platform). Melty RIP's Tsukushi Aria and Kulaku Lie as well as one half of Reverberation Usuwa Suu will be in charge of shilling at 8PM JST.
Lisa Makoh doesn't feel well and went to hospital to check her tinnitus so she pulled out.
The performers are Hanabasami Kyo, Shishigami Leona, Usuwa Suu, Lisa Makoh, Tsukushi Aria, Kulaku Lie (Re:AcT), Vesperbell's Kasuka and Yomi, KMNZ's Lita, Tina, and Nero, Live Union's Enma Ruri (RK Music), Femme Fatale, Yoshika, Otsuka Ray, and Momozono Riel.
Pochi-sensei's fans stopped her Holofes watchalong so she can get a more personal experience.
Thai Ladyboy Enjoyer Mindset is exposing his narrow view of the VTubing industry by describing something that does not look Nijisanji at all as looking very Nijisanji.
Even if you wanted to be as uncharitable to Nijisanji as possible and you believe the wider representation of their graduation queue, wouldn't this still be entirely different and also preferrable? They all get to graduate within weeks instead of having to wait months for their turn as is believed to be the case within NijiEN.
But I guess it's all the retard knows, so in a desperate attempt to seem relatable to his drama seeking audience, he spouts out the biggest buzzwords that made him known in this space.
We should just compare everything to Nijisanji. Hiroshima was an explosive force of 15 kilotons of TNT, or 7 Nijisanjis. 9/11? Bin Laden was a Dragoon. MLK was ventilated before he could protest the rights of Livers to hold their play buttons!
Nijisanji and Hololive have announced the NijiHolo Interleague. The NijiKoushien style tournament will take place at the Es Con Field in Hokkaido on the 24th and 25th of May. The tournament will be played on Konami's Professional Baseball Spirits 2024-2025.
The teams will be headed by chairmen Sasaki Saku (Nijisanji) and Shirakami Fubuki (Hololive) and the managers will be Sara Hoshikawa and Lize Helesta for Nijisanji and Usada Pekora and Amane Kanata for Hololive.
Both the team draft as well as more event details including ticketing information will be announced on livestreams on the chairmen's YouTube channels March 17th JST.
This part sounded wrong so I checked, "Must be a ticket holder to purchase photo-op if selected." And there are solo photo slots, but for $45.
The lottery is free to enter, but if you get selected then you obviously have to pay afterwards (or decline it and they'll re-select someone else). That's perfectly normal, at least in my experience of having 1 meet n greet (I signed up for the lottery, but didn't pay anything or even buy tickets to the event until after I won the meet n greet).
Everything else sounds pretty normal for concerts at an event, except that selling tickets before they announce the performers is pure trash though.
And they charge through the nose for it. Double price for vastly inferior product.
45$ per individual photo would be fine, but for known idols, not some random TBD anons.
"If she's actually a good friend to the v-dere girls" HAH View attachment 92091
She was barely out the door before taking a parting shot at v-dere. Strap in because I'm popping off.
Elia is incredibly fake and 2024 was a gradual mask-off moment. I've followed her since her time at Kawaii and I've gone from thinking the world of her to seeing her as hysterically bitter who thinks the world owes her a favor. She overvalues her unwarranted self-importance and became belligerent, blames others for her inability to handle her finances, is drifting towards twitch clique route, and there's nothing left resembling what made her good when she was in Kawaii.
Last year saw her content slowly take a dive:
Absent for months on indulgent vacations.
Collab spam.
Dropped all video and shorts content.
Drifting more towards her twitch audience to chase numbers, despite YT having held her up since Kawaii days.
Frequent instances of lashing out at fans who dared to speak out (sometimes justified but still shitty to sit through).
Slop and zatsu spam when not collabing, TFT, League, FOTM and back-to-back readings (her voice isn't all that).
The straw that broke the camel's back for me was a membership stream in October, shortly before leaving v-dere, where she had a huge melty. She lashed out at her genmates; acted spiteful over their success, blamed them for her stagnation, acted like she does everything for v-dere when she was frequently shown to slack on group work to the point where she wanted to stop group work because it didn't "benefit her" (Proctor might remember how she was surprised at a slide during Vexpo because she didn't help with it, and once left all the collab setup to the other girls midstream whilst she just fucking played Mario Kart!).
Worst of all she accused them of leeching money from her, and she holds all the times she offered to pay for things against the girls, including the Fan-funded trip to Japan.
To top it off she completely blew her lid at a comment suggesting that she dragged v-dere into her donothon goal, really showcasing how she reacts to the slightest critique. Even in her discord fans felt like they couldn't give feedback because she would go mental:
She also blabbed about whatever v-dere drama happened behind the scenes to other vtubers, so scratch a point for trustworthiness too. Whatever she said, they concluded that "friends shouldn't treat you like that." She got to hear back exactly what she wanted to hear and I imagine she was given lots of other pussy pats from third parties until she deluded herself free of any misdoings and felt justified in leaving rather than try to fix things. Place your bets: Yesman male vtuber grooming or cattish female vtuber clique mentality?
Here's some /vt/ spergery that was reacting to her 2.0 because it brings up some valid topics on why she's awful: View attachment 92092
Screwing over Airi
Knowing how schizo /vt/ is, he probably means Airi was screwed over for being left to collab with a male on her own that one time. The actual bad thing Elia did was all but implicate Airi as being an ungrateful money leech during vexpo, knowing that some fans had begun watching her content too. Elia was really fucking salty about seeing her subscribers going to Airi after the months Elia was away. Rather than be happy that Airi found some success (and understand there's going to be osmosis in any vtuber group) she just got bitter. I don't buy what Elia said, Airi isn't so poor she can't afford to pay for herself and wouldn't impose beyond teasing, there's more to that story Elia isn't telling. Despite saying she doesn't expect anything back when she does offer to pay for things:
Abandoning her dog:
Effectively yes. She wasn't home to care for it most of last year and ended up giving it away before she moved to Japan. I would have some pity for her since it's never good to part from a pet, but now she wants a cat despite having temporary visa to stay in Japan. So fuck her. This is ALL a symptom of how irresponsible she is and doesn't think about how her actions will affect others. She could take the cat back but considering she no longer has family to look after pets for her in Japan and how often she travels, it borders on animal cruelty to get a pet with her working circumstances.
Yeah, even if ironically, she's leaning hard into using her GIRL factor to peddle goals. She was even nice enough to justify ANOTHER vacation for fans to fund. The worst thing about the rewards is that they're so half-assed considering how important this was to her, this is her self-proclaimed big break. She had months to think of things. Well, she would have if she didn't immediately travel when she moved to Japan and wasted all her prep time in Sapporo. Oops.
Those top donor goals FUCKING SUCK. Second place get's less than the random person who wins the $4000 random merch giveaway, whilst the top earner gets heaps of awards (but still nothing thrilling.) They pale in comparison to last year's too so it's not repeat behavior she's just phoned it in.
There's a few other things too, like promising a drink stream even though last time she promised that she spent it collabing and was SO mad at chat when they called her out for it she not only scolded them on stream, claiming she wasn't comfortable, she doubled down with a callout post too:
View attachment 92098
nobody ever said they wanted sussy time from what I could see, that was her own projection. She is very clearly the kind of metoo grifter and has had to hold back going full tilt on SJW equality rants because of her mixed race woes in the past. She definitely hates GFE but takes advantage of it anyway.
A last thing to note about the current donothon: she had one in November too, the same year as her 80k donothon. Why be consistent when you can milk your fans in one big swoop and then slack off?
You've surely heard the reputation that she pitybaits? It's entirely true.
All her stories are twisted to be some great tragedy against her. She sounds sympathetic at first, but don't be fooled. She would make out that life is truly unjust to her, but after being around her for so long and seeing how she reacts to things I can say all her issues are a consequence of her own irresponsibility and all transgressions against her amount to little more than microaggressions or being offended that she's not being the center of attention. She's the sort to unironically say she gets triggered and flaunt how she's such a (self-declared) introvert to make her seem braver for basic bitch engagements.
As for her time in v-dere: she would have you believe she did so much for them but the most she ever did was a largely self-serving Palworld collab where they GAVE money away (poor financial choices) and paid for a Minecraft server, that she abruptly stopped paying for without telling anyone so everyone lost their progress. Nice one, Elia!
There was also the Japan trip but that was an extension of her own indulgence, and again, fan-funded.
Fun fact: did you know Mozu paid Elia back for her Japan trip? And not once has Elia ever mentioned it despite making such a scene about having to pay for everyone's Japan trip and frequently making the girls look like the bad guys by "making" her be the wallet?
When v-dere announced they would have a concert at offkai this year she tweeted this:
View attachment 92100
Bitch actually tried to insinuate she had any involvement in the concert and act like the opportunity was ripped from her. Even more signs that she paints everything in the worst possible light to make her look good. Offkai only announced their policy not to have any returning guests for 2025 in January (iirc). That means v-dere had to organize a sponsorship MONTHS after Elia left. Any influence Elia had would be worth approximately fuck all.
Is she the worst vtuber ever? No. The general negative sentiment towards her isn't unwarranted though. It's worth having some firsthand experience written up for posterity because it's not immediately obvious unless you've been around her long enough. Every so often she will do something for another vtuber that seems good, but remember that it's tainted gold.
I don't want her to crash and burn, but with the way she's going I don't want her to have any influence in the scene either. Ideally, Elia will reflect on how she's been behaving and reel it in, get over herself and try and connect to what used to make her fun. Be genuine towards her fans again instead of acting like she is whilst transparently only prioritizing her own indulgences.
When I look at her 2.0 all I can think is "that's what her soul looks like." It's at complete odds with how she tries to depict herself, 1.0 was perfect for that, but 2.0 fits her manic twofaced nature perfectly. View attachment 92107
Following up on this.
Elia's donothon ended with $22K. As expected, chat came in at the end bumping her up from 16K in the last few hours. Truly a peak British cinema moment.
That amount of cash can go a long way in Japan and is a pretty good result by any indie vtuber metric, and for goals that required zero effort on her part to fulfil it's a steal! Let's see how this endlessly grateful Goose reacted to this oh. TN: YOU DIDN'T PAY ENOUGH!!!
I'm not even joking, despite keeping up some good cheer some of the things she said in the last 30 minutes had some thinly-veiled seethe behind the words:
"I've genuinely forgotten what the goals were, I gave up hope on the goals"
"Next time I'll only do one page"
"You guys did good looking after YOURSELVES this year"
"I'll set everything much lower next year, I've learned, that YOU guys have learned, which is good"
And my favorite
"I feel silly that I set goals too high and embarrassed that people might laugh at me"
Hi Elia Having ambition isn't bad but the carrot needs to be more appealing than bare feet, eating food, and paying for your vacations. Vacations in which the fans bought you a Laptop so you could do quick update streams, and you failed to do on any occasion.
I pity her fans. What a rude slap in the face that must be to see after riding the hype of successfully supporting your oshi.
It is a massive dip from last year's 80K, but not a failure by any measure. Why such a drop though? Could it be that her audience doesn't have enough to pump out nearly 6 figures year? That they don't feel appreciative after donating so much last time in exchange for neglect and a sharp model downgrade that's unrecognizable? Prioritizing a different platform making the people who supported you into second-class fans? Maybe it's because the top donor rewards were so hilariously lopsided that there was zero need to compete for anything other than first place (which her biggest paypig already trotted on in the first hour)? Tariffs?
No. It's the integration of text to speech donations and items being thrown at the vtuber, the gayest fucking practices a vtuber can possibly engage with. Filtered anyone with decent taste.
The donothon wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though and she had a woman moment in her second-to-last stream
She was crying pretty hard obsessing over losing fans, about people talking behind her back, sad of being tired and ill despite subsisting on only junk food and not touching fruit without a $3000 incentive, remarking how she totally never gets angry and has to have other people get angry on her behalf (in other words, when she gets mad she needs a mob to cheer for her), and then in the same breath throwing out the old being taken advantage of spiel whilst also saying she wants to avoid high school drama, like that statement won't instigate that very thing.
Lastly, she was upset at how some people were disappointed with the 2.0 model. It was a "gift" to fans after all that nobody asked for and fans paid for
At least Koroyopi was there to guilt trip chat into giving her money whilst she was crying.
How very nice of her. I'm sure it's only a coincidence that Koro happened to win the Palworld tournament, alongside Elia collab frequenter PiaPi. Maybe I'm just noticing too hard though.
She was just short of getting her paid-for vacation, and more importantly, an innocent cat has been spared abandonment. For now. She's still threatening to have one in her goal next year (Yes she's already planning), assuming she doesn't get one in a bout of selfish impulse before then.

It reads that way but I think they meant the cousin had the car keys on them when they drove away in their own car. So there'll be a car with no keys left behind and the keys are 9h away.
Wait, you guys are reacting to the kid part, right? Is that news because she's a whore?
The car key thing confused me for 1 second, but then I realized that the cousin just grabbed her keys and drove their own car. Like, her keys are sitting on the table by the door and the cousin is like, "Oh keys, better grab 'em, byeeee."
They might have fallen in a bag or just otherwise got the cousin's stuff. In the morning, no keys and the cousin finds them. A lot of "well, shit" going on.
This tweet by itself could be seen as an actual signal for wanting to improve, but the rest just shows she only cares about the money.
You made me curious and what the fuck are these goals?
What does she think she is to even have a $100,000 goal? The fact that $22k is basically a failure to her compared to what she was hoping to get is crazy.
It is a massive dip from last year's 80K, but not a failure by any measure. Why such a drop though? Could it be that her audience doesn't have enough to pump out nearly 6 figures year?
I am amazed she even got that much before and I am glad most of her whales dropped dropped her. The rewards are pure garbage and specially the top donor ones. For the kind of money she was expecting, she should be offering actual IRL whore services to the poor losers willing be her top donors.
