>I get the music side since she always release bangers but many of her last short are in the million range.
>Is this just luck?
Marine managed to establish one hell of a virtuous cycle, kicking starting it with maribako
Step 1: Maribako exposes marine to a HUGE audience of young adult japanese girls due to the brazenness of the MV, the easy to dance choreography and the catchyness of the song
>webm related, but for her new song
Step 2: This converts in subscribers and visits to her channel but, as this audience DOES NOT WATCH LIVE STREAMS (for the most part), and as many of them come from tiktok, they find themselves right into her "videos" tab **and** her shorts tab
Step 3: Noticing steps 1 and 2, Marine releases more songs with easy to dance choreo, releases more and more shorts and even releases some videos on tiktok
Then the cycle feeds itself. More japanese girls get exposed to her content, Marine makes more of the content that caters to that audience, her subs increase and her views increase

>They will be treated as "musicians" and hence their competition and comparison becomes mainstream JP musicians like Ado, Honeyworks, Lisa etc.
I partially agree with that part but I'll bring Marine as a partial counterexample. Her music is doing much better *outside* the Holo box than inside and I believe that's the bet Cover is making here.

>but it's not the only place to get them for her or other people.
I agree but see >>56314318. Check the comments of the music videos as well, lots of
>I don't know vtubers but I like this song
>I didn't know Marine but saw people dancing to her music
Shorts help but it is not what pushed her to her current 110k subs / 30 days , it was her songs and her mindshare with young adult chicks

kek, I only noticed the fat kid after making the webm.
The odorite scene in Japan fell head over heels for Marine, I'm not sure if starting with Treasure Box but, yeah, she's the JP TikTok vtuber queen

>Why don’t other girls management urge them to use Tik tok if it can benefit their channel so much?
Because it is not "using TikTok". It is creating a product tailor made for Tiktok, in this particular case, a high quality animated MV greatly surpassing five digits (in USD( which will never break even or show any return of investment EXCEPT expanding her mindshare
Here is an example, taken at random from the list I posted last post.
This chick right here

>webm related
posted a video dancing to that audio and it is already her second most viewed tiktok in 2023.

The first?

Another Marine song and dance. That's the type of mindshare Marine achieved, but she paid dearly for it in cash money (and lots of it).

It can't be repeated because there is no guarantee a high production quality well choreographed MV would catch the attention of the audience like Marine's already did, REPEATEADLY and the risk is to end up creating another Shallys
>an absolute masterpiece by Aki, but one that took almost 3 years to hit 1M views
