Ina drew herself for the first time in forever. I think it's been a while since she drew anything Holo-related in general.

I went specifically to Niji merch store to see what they show, and out of 12 pages, 20 item groups per page the things that aren't acrylic stands, keychains, badges or posters are - Petra and Chigusa have hoodies. 6 members have folding mirrors that aren't even personalized just different back color. Ethyria got sock puppets and bags. Luxiem has hairpins, bag ribbon charms, puppets. Obsydia has puppets. Lazulight and Noctyx have mugs. Out of 240 items only 10 are not in this categories (I know how to count, some of this were just bundled as one item not separate). This is the only thing that their EN shop lists as for sale. Some items with EN members are not here like collabs with irl shops or that were mostly JP members but with some from EN but thats a drop in the ocean
The ones that you can find on the store are generally something that is a bit more worthwhile than just stands/keychains, but it's still rather damning if a holo talent birthday merch can be variety of stuff while niji talent only got those same old stuff.

Not even a little. Parasocial levels are at a dangerous high. May need to take a break just to let them fall again.

Damn when she draws, she really draws
Also here's a drawing from Suisei:


The only thing you are guaranteed to get from a company is one outfit, and one 3D model after you hit milestones. The rest is out of your pocket. If you don't hit milestones you don't get it either. Hololive might as well remove theirs because while on paper being the same, their members hit this numbers before a debut video, it's redundant.
IIRC Hololive gave a choice for said talents after reaching milestone or birthday on whether they want a live or a MV, since outfit and 3D model is always a certainty. I vaguely remember either one of them (I think Marine) talking about this, that's why Hololive is trying to expand their VR studio to accommodate their talents not only from JP but also overseas.

Rei's post got this on my mind again, so I gotta ask, as someone who never buys merch.
Does anyone ever actually want acrylic standees?
That one in particular almost feels like an insult. Like the absolute bare minimum of product you could possibly put out and charge way too much money. Maybe it's a Japan thing.
I'm the type that follows most of my favorite illustrators so if one of them happens to work on a chuuba merch I like I don't mind buying standee-type merch just to have it displayed on shelf. I do agree that having that as constant merch can be fucking boring though so I appreciate holo's willingness to make personalized merch for birthday/anniversary occasions

things like this and can-badges are deeply ingrained in otaku culture too so you're also right there, many JP otakus are willing to invest a lot on the same merch just to have fully decorated itabag or thematic photos during their oshi's birthday

This was on display at Holo Expo, btw. Axel, Flayon, and Hakka saw it during their tour.

I like acrylic standees.

From a product manager perspective it's a no brainer. Easy to make in-house or contract out, can manufacture anywhere, proven demand, packs flat, won't break in shipping.

Anything that doesn't fit in an envelope is not going to work when shipping overseas. Bespoke merch is inherently a one-time purchase and very few talent in Nijisanji are going to be capable of moving more than 10k units of anything overseas.

You shouldn't expect merch more than t-shirts and acrylic goods get worldwide shipping. Anything else is an exceptional amount of effort. Even for a "big" company like Anykara it's not realistic without a partnership.

So a long time vtuber by the name of Harune is graduating today.

Not sure if she's going corpo or not (she announced graduation a few months ago) but she'd be a great pick for anyone if it's the case.

She has had A LOT of videos from other vtubers sent in by the way. She is going to be missed a lot.

Her last raid was to Tenma too.

Good news on the Lia stand. It wasn't Fishman being an idiot.

View attachment 17145

Lia wasn't mad about the Ashelia stand either, some people thought it was being disrespectful towards her wanting to stick to the new model.

Maybe if fishman can't let her go, Rinmama will have the next Ashelia stand when they go to their next con (OffKai I think).

Hololive might as well remove theirs because while on paper being the same, their members hit this numbers before a debut video, it's redundant. It was always very much an open secret that if you want your oshi to continue streaming you must buy their voicepacks, because Nijisanji doesn't loan money to get merch and they don't have enough in their pockets to cough out upfront payment themself, while streaming is not bringing even remotely enough money to afford doing it as full time job. This is why you get shitty acrylic stands and keychains for EN, instead of personalized merch. And it's not possible to do things differently when you operate on grand scale. If they tried to do things "better" for individual members they would just turn into second Hololive, and I personally think there is a need to do things differently, just to make sure that it's actually "better", not just you thinking it is. It does come with a variety of issues, mainly infighting and drama due to sheer numbers, but for a company as a whole it's negligible, they couldn't give less fucks ten people don't get along if you have two hundred
I went specifically to Niji merch store to see what they show, and out of 12 pages, 20 item groups per page the things that aren't acrylic stands, keychains, badges or posters are - Petra and Chigusa have hoodies. 6 members have folding mirrors that aren't even personalized just different back color.

Some items with EN members are not here like collabs with irl shops or that were mostly JP members but with some from EN but thats a drop in the ocean
Edit: if you pick category that has literally everything including voicepacks you also have Noctyx accessory cases and bracelets, Ethyria amulets, Luxiem necklace, pouch and mirror. 5 more but on 15 pages, so 17 out of 300 items. I don't know why it wasn't in general category, blame their product manager

I don't know for sure, but it looks like Ina did some promo art for Nijisanji before
And yet /vt/ tells me NijiEN alone is making 1/3rd as much as the whole of holopro? Is this the power of chinese money?

And this motherfucker has still not done his taxes.:smugpipi:
Dingo is going to get slamed.

Does Axel live in Aussieland or is he just from there and lives elsewhere? Aussie tax day is October 31st. February 28th is last-chance tax day or individuals.
