I'm a day 1 member.

Eventually she got her new model.. got the new 3D, and things began to change. She began to speak jp more. Fair enough -- she is Japanese after all. Plus, she's been speaking Japanese since debut anyway.
But she began to simply give far more attention to the smaller japanese audience that was in her chat -- many of them grey names so it wasn't like all longtime members. Back in the day she was really good and smart about reading comments from both sides of her audience, which was why she had so many goslingcrats.
Soon enough she became best buddies with Flare. I'm not saying that Flare started the snowball, but as the jap collabs increased so did the jap. She began to have full 15 min tangents in Japanese.. and then summarize them in English for a paltry 4-5 minutes.
It's gone to the point where her EN fans are literally learning Japanese or resorting to fucking DeepL and posting Japanese just to communicate with her -- an EN vtuber -- and get a response.
I guess I should to look for a new oshi, but I can never forget when she had that first membership Q&ASMR and made me fall in love with her.
