At least they will get their 3D before Zaion will.Oh c'mon, I'm sure they're gonna get their 3D debuts before Illuna! Uh, actually, probably not, but uh, before Xsoleil for sure!
I still don't know what happen to nijiEN numbers. For some reason luxiem viewership dropped hard.

I doubt we will ever see numbers like 2020-2021 for the EN side of VTubing again, unless something causes another boom somehow. Otherwise, viewership should remain closer to non-vtuber streamers, I would guess. The JP scene will probably always remain strong, though.EN vtuber CCV in general started to stagnate and recline last year. You can see that HoloEN started to have a drop in viewership around the same time NijiEN did, and while it had a bump in January of this year it's nowhere near its heights.

In regards to Luxiem in specific, I think they were kinda like HoloEN Myth but for the EN male scene. They weren't the first male EN vtubers, but there are clearly a lot of people who only want to check out vtubers from the big agencies, not indies/small companies. And suddenly there was a wave of male EN vtubers from a big agency. Since then the novelty has worn off and some of the people who got in during the exciting phase have dropped off. They seem to be doing fine in terms of revenue so it's likely that those viewers weren't the ones spending a lot of money anyways.
Some of them do have real jobs. Reza works in something medical and I think Taka mentioned going on work trips.Jumping ship from NijiID doesn't provide any benefit for the majority of them, the only realistic upgrade in the world of vtubing would be being picked up by Holo (but it'll never happen), so it make sense to drop out only for a real job.
Always remember, kids. If your corp doesn't do shit for you, just leave. Suisei did it, too.I think this news warrants busting out Small Agency Drama Dude again:

Plumarielle was their most-subbed member so far. (Jax was their least.) Granted, that only means 823 subscribers as of right now, but that's still got to be a bit of a painful loss so early on in their project. A five-member agency is now down to three, which would probably be unsustainable even before you take into account the low subscriber counts and the fact that nobody in the agency is monetized yet so there's no way they made up the initial setup costs for those two.
As I've said before, compared to other recent small agency debuts, they seemed to not do sufficient promotion pre-debut, resulting in those subscriber counts well below what we saw in recent debuts by EIEN or even V&U - they were starting out on the back foot. I can't guarantee that's why these two quit - given the context of the announcement tweet, they may have been fired instead and we'll never know. But if I had to guess something, I'd guess they didn't think the agency was doing enough for them. If anyone knows if these two resurface elsewhere spilling tea, please let us know.
Yugo memoryholed so hard he/she doesn't even get used as a punchline.At least they will get their 3D before Zaion will.
Yeah, that time was wild. I don't think we'll ever see something like the buzz around Myth.I doubt we will ever see numbers like 2020-2021 for the EN side of VTubing again, unless something causes another boom somehow. Otherwise, viewership should remain closer to non-vtuber streamers, I would guess. The JP scene will probably always remain strong, though.
Why is holoJP so fucking high? I thought niji was more popular in japan than holo...?EN vtuber CCV in general started to stagnate and recline last year.

One area in which I think NijiEN is lacking relative to Hololive or NijiJP is a sort of sense of their talents working towards "something." The feeling of working towards a project or goal can excite viewers and Luxiem doesn't really have that. For the most part they're just doing what they've always been doing. I think this is one of the most negative effects of the AR concert cancellation, so I really do hope it gets rescheduled eventually.
HoloJP is more popular worldwide. I think Kuzuha is the only Niji who really, truly rivals people like Pekora and Miko for viewership. The HoloJP girls just make insane viewership numbers.Why is holoJP so fucking high? I thought niji was more popular in japan than holo...?
I think the only thing that could realistically be done is to hire more managers for them (or get them exclusive ones) and allocate them more money. At that point, they may as well just recreate NijiID, which obviously does not make much sense. They could technically throw them in NijiEN, too, I guess, but that also sounds like less-than-ideal solution.I'm really not trying to defend a corporation here but I also don't have an answer for what could be done from the corporate side. Mika, Bon, Nara, Siska and Derem have shown the rest of them that an audience IS waiting for them if they adapt and branch out. Layla is starting to do that with EN and it's showing results, but most of them aren't.
Basically nothing, if memory serves me correctly. To the point some were streaming as .pngs half a year after debut.Does anyone remember how much money and promotion was poured into VERSEn?
Give it time, Schwab will give the orders for a new pandemic to get released and then we'll be back in vtuber boom time, all in the planI doubt we will ever see numbers like 2020-2021 for the EN side of VTubing again, unless something causes another boom somehow. Otherwise, viewership should remain closer to non-vtuber streamers, I would guess. The JP scene will probably always remain strong, though.
Kanata's Dark Souls streams were pulling 14-19k CCV.HoloJP is more popular worldwide. I think Kuzuha is the only Niji who really, truly rivals people like Pekora and Miko for viewership. The HoloJP girls just make insane viewership numbers.
What are we going to do to it? Fix it's teeth?Do you think it works like a voodoo doll? If so where can i have one? Asking for a friend
I don't know but don't let @ViolentNugget near herWhat are we going to do to it? Fix it's teeth?
Sometimes when I feel down I come here and read what you guys are saying and I feel better about myself, I’m comforted by the fact that even though I did jizz on a Pomu plush I’ll never be as hopeless as you guys
Yes and wen you go to spar say lots of slurs to help toughen up your opponent's fighting spirit! Especially the instructor! And don't where a Cup like a sissy!If you're averse to friend making martial arts is an easy way
