Nijisanji L Collection
- Thread starter The Proctor
- Start date
Does her getting booted from Nijisanji jeopardize her chances with Phase Connect? A year ago, I would have said yes. Now, with everything we know, I feel like you can't hold her actions against her when she was responding in the most reasonable way she could to extremely unreasonable circumstances. I think she would really appreciate a company that treated her well, similar to other girls like Airi and Shiina who have had experiences in black companies.
I still think she's a likely Invader candidate. She's done collabs with a bunch of Phase girls. She's in the right range for her CCV numbers - a level where she'd fit in with the rest of the girls without being too small or large (each of which I feel would lead to problems). I think she's different enough in her content and style that she's not overlapping with other talents, and she definitely has Phase Connect sad girl energy. And I'd guess an Invader addition in mid-June.
Anyway, rrats are easy to write. We'll see what happens when the next Invader group gets added.
Probably depends on whether they are interested in playing nice with Niji JP for the sake of the Phase JP branch.
I'm not saying it's impossible - we never saw the Lia/Pomu collab coming, after all - but this is like not getting a girlfriend in case you meet Gura one day.

Man, I love rats. They're pretty cute.
I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
Anyway, from yesterday where a schizo tried to bot a 1k Niji to beat IRyS on her karaoke marathon.
The attempt didn't go as planned.
Meloco is Loki's sister so that may be a problem if we lose connection with Niji JP
Wait, like, IRL sister?Meloco is Loki's sister so that may be a problem if we lose connection with Niji JP
Given that there's like 150 Nijisanji talents in Japan, I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one vtuber relative in the mix.Meloco is Loki's sister so that may be a problem if we lose connection with Niji JP
That would be pretty interesting but no. I don't think so at least. They have same art mama. She actually called in Loki's BdayWait, like, IRL sister?

Archive of the interview just in case.I don't remember if anyone posted this interview from 2022 but reading it is hilarious
【International VTuber Manager】Delivering entertainment globally. With an eye on the world’s latest trends, overcome challenges one by one with Vtubers.【Employee Interview】 | ANYCOLOR Inc.
ANYCOLOR Inc. is an entertainment startup established on May 2, 2017. We will cast magic on the daily lives of people around the world as an instigator of this new era in which the “Entertainment Economic Zone” is accelerating.www.anycolor.co.jp
"ANYCOLOR has a flexible work schedule, with main operating hours from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. The members of our department usually start work between 9:00 am and 10:00 am."
"You may be concerned: “If I were in charge of an overseas Liver, I would have to respond to emergencies even after business hours because of the time difference”. However, that concern is unfounded. Although we inevitably get busy during events and special streams, we try to create a comfortable working environment as much as possible."
A talent might have an emergency but worry not, no one will give a fuck to reply to you! Manager only works 6 hours a day, on a strict schedule that can not be changed, and them going home at 5pm is more important than whatever life changing events you might encounter. It's a talent's job to wake up in the middle of the night to ask for something, not the manager
Summary for searchability, and because it's a new L that's not related to the surrounding discussion of leaked contracts.
JP company Unicreate does not want to pay JP artist Anesama_Daisuki. Anesama takes legal action to force payment. Unicreate retaliates by lying to Anycolor that Anesama has breached Anycolor NDA and harmed Anycolor's reputation. Anycolor does not verify this claim, and sends Anesama a threatening letter. Anesama seeks legal advice. The next morning, Anesama says (presumably relaying Anycolor's response to her, as she doesn't sound like she believes it) that an Anycolor lawyer used the CEO's seal without his permission.
Edit: The tweets from "the next morning" are archived, but Anesama's original tweets about the threatening letter are only available as screenshots. While the Reddit post is properly archived, I don't know if its attached screenshots are saved independently, so I have attached them here.

It's very one-way situation. EN watch JP vtubers a lot, but JP barely watch EN, it's mostly few translated clips.
Niji as a whole is toxic waste now, and any form of contact with them is PR yab. Also you have to consider type of content, project ambitions etc. At a moment, Sayu might be better off on her own financially.
Now, gigachad fishman move would be to subtly incite JP girls to mention how much support they getting from the company. Shit like gym membership tweet and all that. Aslo shittalk him and managers about some fuckups (which definitely exist, they just launched he branch). And let's not forget to mention that he pays youtube revenue out of pocket the month before.
thx, updated my post
Now that you mention it the livers do seem able to hire editors for youtube shorts, I know Millie does that and as you said Selen had the whole Nijibites thing going. Maybe what they are not allowed to do is to let third parties take control of the accounts? But even so there would have been no problems, just let them editors do their stuff and then upload it as yourself. Honestly I have no idea anymore, maybe I was wrong? or they changed the contract?
I really dont think the main branch will be affected by whatever US lawyer has to say. Nijisanji will be affected in the west surely but to think the same will happen in Japan is extremely optimistic.
As much as I enjoy shitting on Niji and doom'n'glooming them, NijiJP is still seen positively in the JP market, so continuing that relation is not toxic by any means for PhaseJP. I am aware of recent events like a well known NijiJP talent graduating, immediately reincarnating, and then getting tweeted by her colleagues. However you have to understand how resilient the JP audience is to change. Any of these revelations about the contract means nothing to JP fans. Continuing to collab with Sayu is fine but if bringing her in as an Invader shuts off PhaseJP from any future collabs with NijiJP, it honestly wouldn't be worth it.
Phase is doing just fine and growing in the EN market and it doesn't need Sayu to join, meanwhile Sayu is doing just fine as an indie. The new PhaseJP gen has managed to break ground but they still have a ways to go to grow in the JP market, jeopardizing for no reason would be silly.
Inside japan - yes, people won't care (yet), but in the west it'll be bad PR to collaborate with niji in any capacity. Any notorious company will be judged for it.
How harshly was Shien judged for having Tomoe appear for a 3D?
Last edited:
This is between two JP talents of JP companies, low levels of stink eye already, and when was that? And was that even live? Also they were collabing for like 3 years.
damn i hit send before finishing writing
On the other hand, PhaseJP starting to collab with niji now is very high levels of stink eye. You're friends with Sayu, bit still choose to support black company?
Mixed up Roberu with Shien but yes, it was 11 days ago. If the timestamp doesn't work, Tomoe appears at 50:55
Summary of something interesting from the Sayu vod that finally went up
Sayu is saddened by people constantly comparing her to other people (rainbow retirees probably specifically Doki) when she sees "support Sayu and X" it hurts because X might not be her friend(Kyo for an obvious one). She's fine with people supporting X she just doesn't like seeing her name lumped with them. She appreciates LM not mentioning anyone else in comparison to her in the gag contract stream (Doki) she doesn't like her pain compared to others and others probably don't like it either, she doesn't have anything to do with them (aside from sharing a company in the past) until she does and maybe she never will.
"There was a lot of people I was hoping you know we could reconcile. We could be ok later down the road (rainbow Retirees) but that hasn't happened pretty much at all...so that other place was never my home I don't think I ever really had friends there at the end of the day. So it's unfortunate, but that is the way it is now"
it seems she feels ostracized from even the Retirees. I really hope Doki reaches out cause it sucks seeing Sayu feel like this
I'll clip all this later today andupload it tomorrow premiere it at noon
