LIVE @10PM ET / 7PM PT - www.twitch.tv/FalseEyeD - NIJISANJI GETS DROPPED
Wuh
"Dropped" hmm?
Definitely is a sales move
I want to point out that where you said they were "Selling merchandise of terminated members", it shows the Selen merchandise in the picture, but the listings are ONLY for Petra Gurin and then Rosemi Lovelock respectively. Just hoping to clarify in case you missed that!
NijiJP: screenshot OK NijiEN: screenshot No No. Nijisisters being huffing the copium hard that they can't even think straight
Had they ever though? All I've seen lately is how delusional they are.
@@ThatchNetherfold and psychotic. Attacking ex-livers like Maid Mint, Dokibird (obviously), and Matara for "speaking the truth". Not Quinn (aka Kyo) though as far as I know. Favoritism???
@@HeroesofMidgaria-rv6vh Don't forget Sayu who has already told the truth way before the implosion that is Selen's termination. PS: Don't forget to spread some love to Sayu.
they dont want X to be filled with NIJIMEMEs from the concert i think.. pffft
😅
Hard to believe it isn't a Niji choice when Cover flat out says that screen shots are ok.
Cover understands how free advertisement works, it will get people to buy the VOD for views. Niji blocked it cause they knew how bad it looked.
Not just Ok, they actively encourage it.
because while cover is in no way perfect, they do have a fantastic PR team.
Considering Niji themselves have already encouraged screenshots in the past for other events, it's pretty clear that they chose not to allow it this time because they knew how hard they would be memed if they allowed it, considering how bad it was production wise.
Not just ok, some gifs from the paid part survives, like Korone's no hands flip and Laplus falling. Because that's free advertisement that'll get people to buy tickets.
Saying the platform is responsible for enforcing IP laws *even against the IP holder* is an insane take that displays a worrying amount of stupidity.
TBF I remember from my days as a brony when youtube took down and official video from Hasbro's channel
@@Kolbjornelenano youtubes copyright system is fairly broken, to the point that third parties can easily take down videos because they dont like them.
@@Kolbjornelenanowouldn't be surprised and those are 100% of the time a mixup between copyright holders and either agencies they work through to track down dmca violations, automated systems employed by the holders and/or agencies, or both. youtube's the most prominent, but i've seen it on many other platforms
That until you remember that an official Nintendo account got copyright claimed on twitter because of a video that had a TLOZ theme in it
Hehheheehehhe, one of my favorite moments of this was when Metallica (tried to) put on a live concert on Twitch, and the stream got muted/blocked for copyright violation of Metallica's songs. Eat shit, fuckers.
7:13 "allegedly" handwritten, when you can't even trust em enough to write 1 sentence anymore
It would be funny if all the talents actually have a razael version of their own
It's a reputation hit they deserve and it will take a long time to EARN that trust back.
@@SelecaoOfMidas They won't earn it back lmao, They're all going to eventually leave Kurosanji, Just a matter of WHEN that happens, It could be a year from now for all we know, Prob cause of contracts and all that jazz.
@@SelecaoOfMidas I hope they won't. They literally abuse people to the brink of suicide attempts. The only time we all should forgive them is when we know the victims forgave them, while currently even sayu haven't forgave any of them.
@@Joshuamiller19570 while possible it’ll take a long time the livers have their rep tarnished and at this point it’s easier to stay then go I still hope they leave but it might take a long time
For a company with a tarnished reputation like Niji you'd want the positive side of your agency to seen by many eyes possible but Niji continues to fail to seize on an opportunity.
They're basically like what AEW is doing but WORSE.
I just don't understand how every effort isn't being made to smooth things over with the public after everything that's happened. Their losses in revenue are undeniable, I've been in the streams lately and engagement level is dire in some cases. One of their bigger EN talents had less than half the viewership of one of Idol's, and Idol ain't a large company with a long history in the industry, not like Niji is.
@@Gakusangitbf Rin's numbers could suplex a whole smaller wave of Niji EN, even before it started sinking.
I think the truth is that the Niji EN branch doesn't have much of a positive side to show, and the positivity of the talents is the only reason we ever thought it did.
They private the AR live cause they know it flopped. Can't look bad after all..
trying to suppress the internet is such a doomed endeavor
North Korea pulled it off
@@lexmarks567 bcuz they have nuke
@@lexmarks567 yeah but that's North Korea, niji isn't that large nor dictator-ey (ish)
North korea had a headstart long before internet was made tho
@@lexmarks567 They control everything from your handwritten letters to your internet access. They control everything within the country. They are not even close to the same.
I bet Rosemi took a management-mandated break because she talked about her cut concert parts
The same would have to apply to Petra then no? Didn't she do the same
@@tylerensminger Keyword: favoritism
I love and hate how good we have became picking up minutest clues leading to a stealth suspension.
@tylerensminger but Petra sold her soul to Tatsuki. Her kami oshi. See her one stream.
Rosemi also had her 3D debut, her 500K milestone and a PC case collaboration recently fucked over by all the Nijisanji drama, on top of quite possibly being resentful of how Selen/Doki has been treated by the company and other livers. This could be a legitimate break given all of that happening basically at once and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if she's just timing out her graduation at this point. I wonder what place in the queue she is?
So Niji takes one step forward by helping out Fulgur, only to IMMEDIATELY take about 5 steps backward
It's like they can't JUST have a good thing, they have to have bad things to counter-balance it.
That's how I feel. I remember how caring they can be, and was reminded by them helping out Fulgur, BUT that doesn't change the atrocious actions they have done. I hope they could see a redemption, but if +1 forward, -5 back is what to expect, then it's time to accept that they are doomed as a english branch, and for their reputation.
Honestly at this point I'm almost expecting it to come out they keep him around so they can push him down stairs cause they find it funny.
if u dont mind, what do yall mean by helping out fulgar? dont know much about whats going on
@@doppomori_ he can't make it physically, but they helpee him show up in was he could. Making him feel love and cared for and they they wanted him at the AR
Kinda comes off as them being ashamed or embarrassed about how bad the quality is, ESPECIALLY compared to Hololive & Vshojo...hell, EVEN SOME INDIES have better 3d models & tracking It's like they don't want everyone to see just how bad it is, and are relying on their die-hard fans to carry the hype without even being able to prove anything
I went back to double check, and Phase Connect's first 3D Pippa model looked better than a lot of these. And this was when they were barely a year old.
Have you seen Zen tracking?
@@tylersutton2216tht high level shyt that niji can't even comprehend
Like two thirds of NijiEN has been ‘on hiatus’ or just completely gone for many weeks, and I’m positive it’s because the livers are starting to talk to one another - possibly about their contracts and learning that they’re basically unenforceable, and almost certainly about how much they’re all getting screwed over. Anycolor, like any evil company, doesn’t like it when their people start talking, and will punish everyone who does.
Very optimistic view. Personally, I think many of them are legitimately taking mental health breaks due to all of their success steadily crumbling away, regardless if they did anything wrong or not, or Kurosanji management just gave a bunch of EN members "mandated breaks" since the EN branch has pretty much destroyed their reputation as a company irreparably. Also, if the rrats are to be believed, several members have nothing to talk about in regards to their contracts anyways because they've already been waiting for their own graduations, but are stuck in the "graduation queue" so to speak.
No doubt in my mind that a bunch of them have become disillusioned with their company after seeing Dokibird's success.
Rn the talent need to held hand together and fight for themself out of that black company
remember though, 'our lord' said you can leave ANY time that you want, right? so don't worry, I'm sure everyone is perfectly happy there and definitely not locked into a near slave labour level contract that forces them to wait until they are allowed to graduate. That would be just silly!
@@seanread5556 Given how similar to Japanese idol culture it is, it wouldn't be surprising if they were trying to kill off the EN branch. One of the conditions for such is: "Personal Lives and Images can be tightly controlled by their talent agencies"
At no point did Enna say they got permission from the departed talents. She said they asked staff, and staff said they would check with the team.
That’s what *I* said!
Are you implying that the ever-truthful and trustworthy management would lie to their talents?
It has been assumed now that it was a part of the exit contract of the former livers (except Doki cause she never signed one) that any content made with their voice before graduation is free use by Niji.
The implication is that Selen is intentionally left out while the other graduated talents were okay. Which fuels the bullying speculation from my perspective.
which team again?
Strange few months is just odd. One of your coworkers almost died, but it was strange and not sad.
Well, I think any illusion of sympathy already went out the window when he called the colleague who almost died due to bullying a liar. Dude gives no fucks about her, that much is clear imho
@@Triforce4ever his fans are all mentally ill femcels. Doki dying would've just been another woman out of their way, at most.
"I tried and failed to demise my coworker, boohoo, I hope she does it again" -all of Kurosanji
@@Triforce4ever who said that?
@@signumxmagnum Vox said Doki was lying about everything when he was handed private documents including, presumably, medical stuff. In the Black Screen video.
We criticize the concert Nijisisters:You personally attacking our oshi!
To be fair I've seen some people who genuinely enjoy the show being replied by people saying how bad it is
@@devaraftI mean it is BAD BAD, like at the very least, you SHOULDN'T have pay a HoloFES ticket price for that sorry of a show...a show that supposedly airing LAST YEAR, with muted music, missing person, and Bad production all around, like cmon there's no way those supposed to be "Nijifans" didnt do a single look on their JP senpai 3D? Bcs even using that as standard, AR live model are looks like Utter garbage
@@FuMiO02110 Not to mention that Niji had an entire year to reset the pre-recorded live for the better and all they did was mass editing out of pure laziness. Hololive was definitely way better than this, not only they would redo the whole thing if necessary, they'd also add more whenever possible, even politely asking their talents if they would so as well. PS: The laziness is also shown in how desperate they are to sell merchs which included Pomu's and Selen's whom we've already moved on from.
Hey man, you can’t say that. I hear it’s racist or sexist or some other -ist or some shit.
😂@@DrunkOnRatPoison
"No favoritism in Nijisanji" *The boys gets more than double the screen time of the girls*
If the AR Live were held in the original date, it would still be memed, but with less hostility.
^This right here.
And it would have been the full thing. There wouldn't be anything with a Mysta's voice slipping in, and Rosemi wouldn't have had her parts reduced because the needed to edit out Selen.
Ey, something I can actually make mention of. I work in the marketing departure in the western branch of a japanese company. Japenese companies often get even screenshots removed as it's their culture. Any company, such as Hololive, which understand the western market won't do that. It's their copyrighted material so they can choose to have it removed or not. The economic beneficial route would be to allow pictures, but a lot of Japanese companies are set in their ways. Cover really is a breath of fresh air to me. The company I work for has gone as far as multiple times having the pictures WE post to advertise for them removed. It is quite literally the most frustating part of my job.
Exactly, underrated comment here. It just confirms that EN management is Japanese, having old Japanese mentality.
So it is that common in JP companies? however this policy shows that Nijisanji fail to adapt English speaking entertainment market where Words of Mouth can make or break a sale.
@@Masitu0031 god damn, I had such lengthy reply to this youtube wouldn't let me post it. Never knew youtube had a post limit. have a long answer: TL;DR Most japanese companies will take down pictures etc even if they have some interest in the west. Most japanese companies with significant interest in expanding an internatial market or have already done so will allow the free advertisement if they are not hampered down by stubborn sistercompanies, partners or managers. It is common practice, but the western influence on this subject is (in babysteps) changing the current japanese business practices, more often if they are led by younger managers or managers with international working experience. Keep in mind, I only work for one company with one type of product and thus can't accurately make claims about other companies (even though I did in fact do that) honestly, it depends on the company. Yes, this is the case in a vast majority of japanese companies. However this is mostly companies without a branch outside of Japan, or sometimes a few other Asian countries. The number of companies that do this lower when you start looking at companies that have a European, Canadian or American branch (probably other places too but I can't attest to that). However, even with companies that have these branches I do think (I don't actually have numbers) the majority often still do this. It also depends on if they see the western market as important to their bottom line. My company for example (I am not allowed to reveal it's name on the internet while under contract) does not see a lot of money come from it's western expansion and thus does not really care to learn the ins- and outs. It is still beneficial to them and makes them a profit so my job is pretty secure, however it does not have much of a possibility to expand and maintain profits. Unfortunately this has consequeses to how they do business even in other markets (still stupid they claim copyrightes material from their own company). Meanwhile other companies, such as forexample New Japan Pro Wrestling also tend to take down a lot of gifs and pictures. They have (or at least had before the pandemic and an increase in the quality and amount of American based competition, they are rebuilding now) a significant amount of interest into their American expansion (they seem to have pivoted to China, South East Asia and Australia while working on maintaining their current US market to make up for the US market loss). They aren't actually the ones issueing copyright claims, rather, this is done by TV Asahi, who owns the TV rights to New Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan and does not do business outside of Japan. So we have a company who want to expand into the west who are denied free advertising because another company does not.
@@Masitu0031 Meanwhile we have companies like Cover, who have significant interest in the west, and have succeeded in that market. They likely have employees whose sole job is understanding the western market and thus will allow pictures, gifs, fanart (yes, some companies will take down even fanart), etc. Cover tends to go even beyond a lot companies in similar positions to it by (somewhat) matching how they do their business overseas with how they do their business at home and highly encourage cross market advertisements. Holo JP is aimed at Japan, Holo ID is aimed at Indonesia and Holo EN is aimed at the entire western culture. These are their main aims. However, as you probably know, they cross these markets. All three branches have found an audiance in all three markets. They have crossed these so significantly see I doubt Yagoo and any other higher-ups at Cover really see these as different markets. They understand that if they treat them the same they triple each branch market. A lot of Japanese companies would not do this. In fact, I can also use Cover as a company that doesn't do this by looking at HoloStars. HoloStars and HoloLive barely do any crossover in JP. They do some, but not really any noteworthy amount. ID doesn't have a HoloStars branch (though I imagine if they did they would go about the same way they do with EN rather than JP). Now, EN also doesn't do a lot of HoloStars-HoloLive crossover, but they do more than JP. I think if they had kept JP and EN completely seperate to a degree that HoloEN would have had it's "Holo" part removed with another word, they might have done more colabs between the guys and girls, then again, the product is still vtubers and western fans can get just ad crazy about this as jp idol fans, so I can't be sure. Granted, this particular product, vtubers, is a lot easier to do this with than some other companies products. I do believe a lot of companies with a significance interest in the western market will allow this. Not only does it work as advertisement to reach a vast amount of potential internatial customers. Most have learned that denying people the right to express themselves is a significant detriment due to the western culture. Statistics have shown that overly copyright claiming can decrease people's want to support that company in the future if their product is average and below. This does not sound significant, but there are a lot of companies with average products. Simply the nature of the beast. Companies that understand western copyright systems will do better even if the quality of the product is about equal when compared to a company that does not even with equal knowledge on both companies (so it's not the free advertisement that is actually beneficial for most companies). This doesn't really apply to some companies like Nintendo (as their products are often good enough to nullify this detriment). However, even Nintendo's outlook at copyright is has become more westernised than it used to be. I know from the experiences of some of my friends that not everyone feels the difference, but are taking steps and doing it slowly. If I look at their practices from around the time I was born, the difference is staggering. Same goes with some anime distribution companies. They have westernised to a noteworthy level, even if it still seems they are ridiculously far removed, which in all fairness, they still are. Obviously they still copyright claim some abridgeseries and the like, however less so than they used to, and I rarely see them claim singular pictures or soundless gifs anymore, which they used to do a lot. These changes these companies have made are starting to seep into the japanese culture at home. Though, it is taking a slow pace and always will take a slow pace. I also highly doubt it will ever match the west's believes to how copyright should be handled. And we will forever complain about it. But small changes really do have a lot impact, even if not noticed by those that don't have to with this on a daily basis. Granted, this information should not be taken as fact. I really only have any true knowledge over my own companie's product (toys) and can't even say that I have definitive say on that subject. All information I provided should be taken with a grain of salt as I'm just one person, but I do believe my position in my branch provides me with enough to make accurate gestimations about other companies to a certain extent. There is a reason I did not provide statistics, that being that I simply do not have them and am talking purely on guesses. Informed guesses based on experience, but nonetheless, still guesses. Now on my opinion on Niji based on my zero knowledge on vtuber statistics, metrics, costs and potential and actual profits. Call me for a more knowledgible report when they start selling toys. Their quarterly earnings on that might be noteworthy to me if they start doing that. Personally, I believe Niji has been partially abandoning it's non JP markets for a while now. For example merching it's Indonesian and Korean branch into it's Japanese one. I could easily see them hoping that their EN brach would fulfil any new customers coming from those two countries and thus not were not considering it pulling out of the Indonesian and Korean markets. I personally belief Cover is also somewhat doing this with HoloID, but to a far lesser extent than Niji. Then again, I also thought this before gen 3 and they still came out with that and since it was aimed at Indonesia, it was probably profitable. But honestly I am not sure ID is/was making a good enough impact for either AnyColor or Cover. I have zero clues about Vtuber metrics though, so I might be very off. Also, I can easily be clouded by my western view. Indonesia is a giant market. Probably one if not the biggest often overlooked market. It is especially overlooked by the west. Indonesia has enough potential customers that even if something does very badly there it can still make more money than somewhere that same product does good. Anyways, I got off-track. Niji has in the past allowed screenshots but aren't allowing it now. This is more evidence to them possibly partially pulling out of the western market. I know that even if the entire western market stops supporting them, NijiEN is watched enough by other big markets, such as forexample China. On top of that, I believe the majority of EN talent are multilingual, if necesary they can make a profit by streaming in different languages. Though, that's probably a late option. Niji's most probable prefered option would be a refocus on japan while keeping a foot open into the west at a later time. Probably a few years after, people will forget. They really will. These kind of things happen a lot. Not just japan, internationally as well. As long as they EN keeps making some kind of profit even if it is a singular dollar they might just keep it up. A door ajar is simply cheaper to open than a door closed. Common business tactic. It would probably be better for them if they could just keep it completely open right now but by this point the backlash might be too big for that. If it was just Selen that left under this circumstance and they didn't lose many other livers like Pomu, FoxMom (only remember her new name tbh), Mysta, and such, Niji probably could have kept going and their belief it Selen wouldn't harm their numbers probably would have been right in the long term (even though I hate that). It would have hurt them in the short term, yes, definitely, but one setback, even a giant Selen-sized one, is not large enough to knock over most companies big enough to have international branches. It's often the accumulation of smaller setbacks capped of by a large one that does it. And in this case, the setbacks kept coming, the black screen video (absolutely business malpractice) Pomu and Kyo graduated after, the Uki thing, the Luca thing, now this. Quite frankly, had none of the rest happened, very little people would have cared enough to have not being allowed to make screenshots give a large enough setback. It would have been on vtuber news, people would complain, week would be over, next drama. But people will remember this now. Whenever they list Niji's stupid ideas, they will probably either add "no screenshots" or someone will comment to add it to the list. But this only matters if they care about the western market, which they might have already decided to abandon. Hope this provides more than enough information on what you wanted.

If it was just Selen that left under this circumstance and they didn't lose many other livers like Pomu, FoxMom (only remember her new name tbh), Mysta, and such, Niji probably could have kept going and their belief it Selen wouldn't harm their numbers probably would have been right in the long term (even though I hate that). It would have hurt them in the short term, yes, definitely, but one setback, even a giant Selen-sized one, is not large enough to knock over most companies big enough to have international branches. It's often the accumulation of smaller setbacks capped of by a large one that does it. And in this case, the setbacks kept coming, the black screen video (absolutely business malpractice) Pomu and Kyo graduated after, the Uki thing, the Luca thing, now this. Quite frankly, had none of the rest happened, very little people would have cared enough to have not being allowed to make screenshots give a large enough setback. It would have been on vtuber news, people would complain, week would be over, next drama. But people will remember this now. Whenever they list Niji's stupid ideas, they will probably either add "no screenshots" or someone will comment to add it to the list. But this only matters if they care about the western market, which they might have already decided to abandon. Hope this provides more than enough information on what you wanted.

@@andrehashimoto8056 at least a certain submarine had *some* effort to make it work a while... even with a game controller and shoddy craftsmanship. if the people who made the submarine were people that knew a thing or two about making anything, they would've had a good thing going. the yacht wouldn't even survive being two inches underwater without capsizing or snapping itself like a wafer from the weight of the clique's egos and mistakes. so it's a miracle that damage control, or lack thereof, is being done at all on such a sad rotten tub.

Downfall edit when
@@azutsukimiya we're gonna need a whole ass transcript for the parody lmao
I feel the real issue with the screenshots is Niji panicked trying to get ahead of bad PR yet again once they realised they had to push the AR out as-is. No one would have posted screen shots to challenge the official ones if the AR didn't look so janked compared to the official shots. I'm even willing to believe those ones were separately rendered, maybe back in 23 or maybe three weeks ago idk, but the no screenshot policy is definitely a Niji PR move. And as we know and see, Niji is baaad at PR crisis control. The sudden surge of merch drops and fire sale of old merch confirms my thesis that Niji is 100% in crisis mode. June's financial report is gonna be good eating I bet.
Rosemi taking hiatus gives me heart palpatations, if she ends up graduating I would be happy for her to be ouot of a bad place but also sad for her because jumping back to indie after she finally got her Tekken oshi to notice her will no doubt be rough.
I mean it could go like Doki with Apex where she was immediately contacted by Apex folk, same could and likely would happen for Rosemi. Assuming tekken is interested in her and not the Niji brand.
Watch her become the Official Bandai-Namco Tekken Vtuber
if doki can get pelted with sponserships left right and center after getting fired, Rosemi will absolutely be noticed by harada if she graduates
We all hope that some of them have brighter things to move onto after all of this is behind them, in whatever form they take.

I think the Nijisanji AR Live concert highlights the biggest issues the company has: poor PR management and an absolute need to control everything with regards to their livers. They really seem to pay zero attentions to the feedback they get from fans- and I mean none at all. They are actively antagonizing their fanbase in order to control the way their livers are presented in social media. For an entertainment company they really do not know how to manage public perception of them and their talents, which is basically a recipe for disaster. They appear to only care about increasing profits for their investors and nothing else. In the short term, that will make them a lot of money, but in the long run they will be shedding fans and customers like a dandruff from a redditors scalp.
Okay but them really accommodating Fulgur and making him feel welcomed and involved despite his worries was really sweet. That warmed my heart so much.
Not everything coming out of Niji is bad, but they've had some pretty awful blunders lately and hope they're at least working on getting a decent PR department together after everything that's happened. I'm concerned about talents that are guilty of nothing but working for Niji getting caught in the crossfire.
It reminds me why I started watching NijiEN in the first place. But now it all just feels like a dream.
They got him to write a few paragraphs great.
but the cynic in me wonders if they would have done the same if it was one of the female talents with a disability...

Well, Niji DID say they weren;t going to allow screenshots ... I do remember telling a friend of mine IRL how dumm that move was because you WANT people to be talking about your projects, not actively stifle them. Sure, you can say "oh but haters are going to make it look bad"... to that I'd say: But the fans who watched the whole thing can balance it out! By stifling it, it pronounces even more than the company doesnt have a good marketing team and theyre trying to conceal... something...? Then, the company releases those approved screenshots, making it completely inorganic. Fans posting their favorite moments of a show makes me want to experience it for myself so I can make MY favorite moments. Anycolor's tactic made it feel too... processed. Obviously, fan's posts is NOT the only factor as to why I'd watch a show... but they do help a LOT in catching my interest! So yea... while I dont take this as a "drama" situation, I do call this an absolute L for their marketing team
ikr, like that's just bad movement honestly. I don't even follow any concernt but my friends who are fans spreading it and makes me know there's a concert and certain artists.
That's true, I often watch/ read something just because a fan gushinng about it, so I just try to see what it's about
That is western interpretation. I saw a comment above this comment that Japanese companies really want to control their IP or social media presence. It shows that is very common in JP company. This policy however shows Nijisanji fail to adapt English speaking entertainment market where Words of Mouth can make or break a sale of brand.
It kills me Vox gets off free when the misogynistic oaf pulled his 'I'm authoritative because I have an english accent and i'm so hurt by Selen' on the black screen live. It's literally only because he has that accent that he isn't cancelled. Manipulative waste of space. Elira got all the hate, and though it was deserved, Vox came up with a new suit.
NGL, I think it's probably mostly because only Nijisisters watch Vox.
Also the model, that plus the accent makes him "uncancelable" unless his irl face gets out there and he doesn't look like his model, like what happened to corpse.
And the worst part is, their own company is the one that made them front and center. Names hadn't been named, so what did they expect would happen when you get people coming forward publicly and saying their names were on the paper.
I did notice that only a few people ever pushed back against Vox's involvement in the "Message" stream. Idk if I'd go as far as "misogynistic" but that is a personal matter dealt with later. What I do agree with is there is clearly someone or something at play if he can just come back like nothing happened. Elira is gone for 2 months, and is constantly losing subs, so why isn't Vox and Ike suffering the same fates? I don't wish it, but it feels like karma had a target in mind, and ignored the others in this case.
Most likely because a lot already know that Vox is a PoS lol. They got blindsided by Elira reinforcing the rrat. Nobody cares about Ike lmao.
I find funny how Elira decided to make calculations to see how old her suscribers should be to be legit and not people that (likely) came for controversy and to spread chaos, meanwhile Vox Akuma decided to go "fuck all" and put everyone subscribed in 2024 as a threat. I don't know what this implies xD
Not posting a screenshot really discourages someone from supporting their oshis. Well, to be honest, not everyone here has good financials to earn/have. But the way they treated us, they taught that most of people who have the money to buy memberships/concerts/expo/merch are truly a supportive fan. And anyone who don't buy anything from them is not a fan. That's their point of view As a broke gang myself, I know why these exist. My solutions are to become a pirate like everyone does.

Sadly this may cause some undesirable shockwaves in the weakened JP economy, what with their Yen cratering.
I guess there must be certain frames that models look broken and maybe "cleaning" of former talents aren't perfect. But privating the free portion is just saying "we refuse new audience".
"deportation" in Japan lulz, considering how lightly they dealt with the actual irl drama youtubers who was harassing real people in the streets, I highly doubt they will do anything for "pirating" a AR concert.
Also why would they deport you for this when repeated offenses would result in fines instead?
1 year in making? More like they forgotten about it but just remembered because they are sinking and they need money

@@1TeenyKC Not only that trans people make him uncomfortable, but that he actively misgendered someone where he worked, and then sassed his then-employers about how he was right to do it.
So the New Life Support thing is basically a Japanese Spring Cleaning initiative where people and companies get rid of their old stuff. Not unique to Niji. More of a “give old stuff new life” and less, “we gotta pump up the numbers.” Perhaps it is convenient for Niji to participate, but it wasn’t their idea.
Their Q4 is likely in shambles, this very well may have been an opportunity they couldn't ignore. They NEED to pad their Q4 earnings.
Once again Hololive wins by doing nothing. I'm glad that they always allow us to share screenshots, but also free "trial" of their concerts
I believe part of the free content they had recently was due to an error, but they just let it happen anyway and rolled with it because it generated fan goodwill. I thought that's what happened, anyway.
@@Gakusangi That was last year, I believe. One entire concert was made free as compensation for a major streaming error. This year, it was definitely intentional -- the first 30 minutes or so of each stage's concert was free, while the rest required a streaming ticket. The talents even specifically addressed this, coming out on stage during an MC segment about a half-hour into each concert to say "This is where the free part ends, guys! Hope you have your ticket!" ;)
Having free portions for their events has been a thing for years now. It's a nice gesture towards non-paying fans and it makes for good PR. Even some solo-lives are now putting out free portions. Can't remember which year it was but there was a Fes that had its free portion run a little long on day 1 (about 40-45 mins), which made for a nice surprise. Regarding the concert that was made free, technically it was only day 1 of their Summer live. They switched streaming platforms to Z-aN (it wasn't clear what was happening to SPWN at that time). Z-aN were having sever issues on the day, so they delayed the event until it had to be postponed. Then they made day 1 air for free on YT the next day, hours before day 2's start time, and refunded day 1 tickets.
@@Gakusangi Nah, it was intentional. Because there's a screen at the end, thank you for watching the free content.

This is a pretty interesting conundrum Niji is in rn. For once it can be argued that they are in the right since the concert was a paid event; but given the numerous controversies they've been in the past few months, is it really worth taking another PR hit to go after these screenshots? Personally, I'd say no, but we all know that Kurosanji is incapable of making smart decisions at this point
Wdym? They do make smart decisions tho.. for a nijisisters that is
@@Blank05 You should cap the NijiSister part so people won't miss it. XD
Its a fair action as long as they enforce it to every single post containing an unauthorized screenshot of the concert whether its a criticism of the concert or not. If that's what they're doing, then i'm fully on niji on this one. But if they're taking down critics specifically, yeah no.
i think it's an even bigger PR disaster if they allowed evidences of the AR Live seeing how bad it looked lol
Especially for something THIS anticipated that people would naturally want to share and talk about.
'Guess how they fucked up todaaaaaaaaaay?' ......Kurosanji, are you serious
Aaaaand Niji finds another way to damage there brand
I kind of hope Niji can just stop fumbling what little good faith they have left from their fans and get their shit together already, Imagine preparing a stream for a year and still having that kind of scuff even having to mute a segment, it's just bad Thanks for reporting False, i hope it's more upbeat stuff next show
And they had a year to mend it far better than that... and they apparently didn't.
The more these PR mines detonate, the clearer it gets that truly they don't have much in terms of actual staff in many departments. This AR Live alone screams of being a rush job, and that they are likely understaffed for a lot of fields
We can only assume they're trying to hide something. Im gonna guess massive gaps / poorly editing out of the talents who left Edit: yep just got to the part where they all but confirm that
Yeah Niji JP themselves Allowing Screenshot, but Why Niji EN Not???
Thanks for the video, False!
Every time that kurosanji make Bad Decisions one of the yacht Sinks to the ocean
Why were the talents covered in so much purple? They got drocked by Selen, heheheh.
What makes things worse is that Gura doesn't even stream that often or regularly anymore. She'll stream a few times (sometimes just once), and then disappears for a while. Gura does this and she still gets more live viewers than Niji's *WHOLE SHOW*. Maybe she got so many viewers *BECAUSE* she tends to disappear for a while. Either way, Gura has amazing talent.
Niji knew they made a mistake once again. But also once again instead of learning from their failure they hide their shame away and not take a count of it as something to learn from. They're gonna do more damage than what's already established at this point and it's hurting the livers and people who still like the livers in Niji but are forced to not speak a thing or they'd be blasted to shame by Doki-defenders.
Doki defenders are not even inciting the hate, the worst Dragoons could do is to counter with ice-cold facts which is Doki's further success than her days in Niji.
Dragoons at most just want to enjoy her Streams and will not use their fanbase name as a shield, unlike the Nijisisters. NijiKuro can only blame themselves, because their Business plan (Go cheap with unchoked Shotgun approach and only put some extra pennies on what hits a big buck from the get go, anything else is left to fend by itself if it even survives the next Shotty blast), quality of their Livers on average, and their inability to actually realize what F'ed up situation they are PR and Financials wise, they just have nothing to truly get the PR to start improving. Events, especialy a Live show? Without actual money, qualified staff and real effort to make it work, all they will keep getting is more AR lives that further perpetuate their dumpster fire status. 3D debuts? Without actual care in planning and not working to improve their PR, none of their Livers will get much from debuting their 3D. Even their damned be Contract (Unsigned baseline, but still a damn big evidence about their Kuro Korp of Kuso status) was exposed and was overall seen as not just bad, but LEGALLY QUESTIONABLE. Their only solution for now is to hire an actual quality PR firm, and start pulling a no brakes to improve ter PR image through actions to attract non NDF viewership trust and interest again (Like not even much, just change the 2% to 30% and it alone will be seen as a massive good improvement). They have no other choice, either put actual money into things or their Q4 being the Nuke it is shaping to be will be the least of their problems.
Maybe I'm an anomaly then. I still watch certain livers myself, but still side with Doki. Niji self reported, and since the 2 sides aligned, the image at play is not a positive one for Niji. I still watch with hope and little faith that they will somehow redeem themselves, and every week it only gets worse for them.
@@LuckyAce203 I just want them to leave the livers alone. If anything, they should bkast every ounce of their power on the company and not the livers. Niji should take the blame, all of it. The livers, there's a saying "cukup-cukup, sudahlah". You can blame the livers but not to an extent as if they're a huge problem. They only joined the agency to get extra revenue in their streaming by them.
@@AfterthymeGaming Oh I agree. After the black stream I have my own emotional and mentally bias, but it is only happened because of management self reporting. If they never said "livers due to mismanagement" they could say we don't know who did it. But we know its a talent, so everyone is a suspect and Niji is to blame.
I hope Aster's okay 😢 and if kotoka gets fired it's on site for niji
Niji never fail to amaze how they capable of keep falling so low, deeper than Mariana Trench.... at this point, they gonna go straight down to hollow earth and ask Doug to be new liver.

They were a day late of blocking every screenshot from the AR live Not that it mattered anyway. Some people archived and saved them xD
so i take it niji is a cult more than a community now? not surprised
Pretty much. They even go as far to attack Dokibird (for obvious reasons), Maid Mint and Matara. Except for Quinn (aka Kyo).
Everyone must buy now! Consume consume consume. Everyone must buy now! It's a bold strategy... I wonder if it'll pay off.
The fact that they have to ask for permission to share a screenshot from their own concert...
someone else in the comments mentioned that it seems like niji doesn't believe you're a fan unless they can profit from you and i can definitely see it. all these sudden merch drops and 3d/new outfit announcements are probably to compensate for the decrease in subscribers and views since the doki situation. i find it incredibly hilarious that they're only doing this now when fans had been begging for these things when graduated members were still part of the branch. reminds me how instead of getting a refund for the luxiem first anniversary merch i purchased but never received after nearly a whole year, i got an email from them saying i would need to purchase "tickets" on the merch site to get the merch that never arrived (they never even gave me my money back so i'd essentially be spending more money to get something i had already paid them for... they truly believe the fans are braindead if they're pulling stuff like this)

I will give them this year at most. I am at the post end phase of "I just don't care about you" thinking Mode with this company, not even the name is worth the mention for me right now... It's just disappointing to no end. There is a saying: In Rome, do as romans do. What this people are doing is applying the concept in the worst way possible. They want to capture international influence without even trying to demonstrate any interest whatsoever in their culture nor customs, but them they want all gaijins to adapt to them, or basically they WILL bully you and freak you up to no end calling you "White people" as a derrogative with clear ill and hurtful usage.
Seeing the screenshots that people shared, it suddenly makes a lot of sense why Niji banned sharing them.
I can kinda see the thought process of comparing it to a traditional live concert, but yeah it's not only extreme but also strange that Kurosanji just randomly swapped sides on this matter
4:25 NijiEn didn't get the perms cause the talents didn't go out of their way to ask the original copyright owners for perms. If they only had Selen...
The lighting really hurt my eyes. Conglatulations for finally having an AR even though...it kinda failed
The desperation is palpable
Conglatulations
Seeing Rosemi's tweets makes me think that she was trying to cope with the fact that she had the least screentime out of anyone. It really sucks that she was working hard for this event and now she couldn't even show off since most of it was cut. I just want her out of there, man. She doesn't deserve any of the things that's happened to her as a result of Niji's poor actions. I feel like nothing's gonna happen until Q4 is over though.
I love the willingness of some weebs to slander Japan collectively to defend headlines they don't understand or the business practices/decisions of individual companies.
The returning livers are going to be in for a rude awakening when their fans aren't as understanding as they used to be. lots of questions with no answers, means someone is bound to slip up, and Niji cant keep them silent forever. the internet will do what its best at.

sharing the screenshots or photo of an event or really short video doesn't violate any laws i think, in fact it would become more like free marketing for them instead, they just doesn't want everyone to knows about the low quality of the kurosanji AR concert.
Thank you for the Vtuber news! I remember reading some Niji document where they stated their EN branch was created to grow into the global market (or something along those lines). However, it seems they don't understand the global audiences they're supposed to be trying to appeal to, as sharing screenshots of your "favorite concert moments" is a natural way for fans to connect with an event. It makes me wonder if the actual heads of their organization are dinosaurs and Riku is just a puppet figure used to present a "young" face to the public.
Seeing screenshots of the concert is like a culmination of all the shit that’s been going down. Like, even without the controversies hanging over them, I don’t know if THIS is a quality that the livers would be proud of, especially given how long getting 3D models took. I don’t want to be one of the people constantly shitting on NijiSanji, but… I don’t know how you couldn’t look at this concert and compare it to other company’s productions. And, as a liver, wonder what the long term prospects are anymore in Niji.
