So across all those streams:
Holy fuck, they're dead in the West. They can barely scrap together $100 in supas from the US across 9 monetized streams. The West as a region (AUS, US, EU, and MXN in decreasing order of supas) gave them only ¥38,442 JPY or $253.72.
$1,200 is already pretty shit for a major branch event across 10 streams but 78% of it is coming from Baskin Robbin's 31 flavors of chink. They're definitely getting folded into the main branch. Shout out to the Canadians for being the one flavor of chink to not superchat at all. Oh and that Singapore amount is just 3 supas, 2 of them were SGD 100 supas (¥22,468 or $148) from one person.
whoa thats abysmal
I was wondering how much that is really, so I started looking at various Holos at Hololyzer for comparison, starting with Kiara ofc
This is a normal ass Stream, not an event or anything special, and already she is almost out-performing the entire Event with 10+ Streams
For context, this is just a minor Event, really its just Kiara coming back from her break and she is out-earning the whole event several times over
To make the comparison more fair, I decided to look at HoloID, and while this is a bigger stream for Reine, its still barely an Event stream on the caliber of the Niji cart tournament
I then decided to look at the numbers a few participants from the most recent Hololive Mario cart tournament got
Both Calli and Kronii easily mog any single NijiEN stream and almost the entire thing, bot in Superachats and CCV
HoloID again, and while her Superchats alone aren't very impressive, her CCV still is higher than every Niji Stream except for Shu, beaten by only about 300 CCV.
Sidenotes: This Hololive Tournament is obviously much bigger overall because it involves all the branches (iirc the main channel had something like 100k watching), but also many many more POVs than the Nijisanji one. There sadly isn't a HoloEN (+ID) Tournament that I remember that is recent enough to warrant comparison. I think the last one of those was back in 2022.
But the point remains, this is a terrible showing for what could be considered a major event that has been hyped and built up for months.
I wanted to watch the VOD for that one, because I honestly have a soft spot for her because she is cute and I watched a bit of her back in 2022
But I turned it off just a few minutes in because she begged God to finally give her 3D, and BAM God-Emperor of Kurosanji, Riku shows up and grants her the wish. Turned it off after that, because begging and groveling in front of Riku felt really in poor taste. Very weird bit. I suppose that this was recorded back in November, before shit went down and Riku basically became a slur, but even then, its weird and not in the funny way.
I saw screenshots where she later plays around with a blow-up doll version of Riku and that too just feels weird.
Riku just isn't Yagoo, and never will be, stop trying to make it happen.
