They're cute. And having a Lenovo sponsored stream in two days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Ac7ICs36k

Despite this thread being so slow I missed it so much during its absence. Glad to be back, malechads.

Here's my wife.

>>4990701
gonna watch it. Their recent 3d was super good too. It's lame how nobody outside japan cared -_-

I'm much more of a lurker for this thread compared to others but I do appreciate it being around, thank you all for linking things and posting nice art, its fun to lurk and check out things I probably wouldnt otherwise.
I'm still wishing for Shellin to sing more, as always.

>>4989831
Did you guys watch the saga of Belmond waking up ars? It was super funny, I'll link the stream with timestamp
https://youtu.be/j581VDoDx8Y?t=11769

Linking clip video too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKdq-VYzKdo

Better videos were posted with ars' sleeping POV too, and her waking up and laughing. But she's kinda fucking stupid and told anycolor to strike down the videos.
Super fucking stupid in my opinion

cute wife!

saw it happen on stream, it was hilarious. those bell sounds aren't leaving my head til now.

akina will be in inuyama tamaki's stream on june 22nd
says so in tama's schedule here:

hype?

>>4995231
that drawing looks fantastic

>>4995231
fucking hype, i love tamaki

>>4989831
I'm glad to see this thread back. I missed it seeing it on the board, and talking about all our best boys.

>>4993391
Awww, that's pretty cute. Why would she want the clips to be taken down though? That's the type of thing that will get a ton of views naturally, and bring more people.

>>4995231
>You are Akina
Immediately going to find a full body mirror for reasons.
Seriously though, this drawing is so good. I've restocked on a lot of new fanart too, will post slowly. The art was one of the big things I missed from these threads.

I think it's funny they keep including Kenmochi in these cute merch drops.

https://twitter.com/nijisanji_app/status/1403199536617558021

>>4999811
the art where they're dressed as employees is cute

>>4997115
She was sleeping for like 40 minutes. And she talked while sleeping etc. The clips with her POV her golden, when belmond started with the doors she talked gibberish etc. And when she finally woke up she laughed because she saaw what happened. Perfect clip

However, right after she ended the stream, she privatized the video, told everyone the stream was staying down and asked anycolor to take down the clips with her sleeping. So we can only have the clip from the belmond POV. Fucking stupid am I right? Was such a good clip that would get tons of views, with only belmond it's still good but less good, and will get no traction. Also she 100% pissed ot the clippers and translators by taking down their videos. Fucking stupid idea, her manager must be brain damaged.

>>4999811
the fact that they released meschers merch with kenmochi has me so hyped. has anyone ever purchased physical goods from niji before that can recommend a good middleman service? I really want some of those stands

>>5003486
It's like her or her managers don't want to get popular. Yeah, is it a bit embarrassing/unprofessional to fall asleep during a stream? Sure. But it's those types of moments that make streamers, Vtubers or not, much more like an actual person, and lead to hilarious moments.
Not only did they take down an apparently very funny clip that could have brought a ton of new eyes, but as you said, they'll have pissed off a lot of clippers. I mean, did they copyright strike those channels! That's a dangerous fucking thing to do!

>>5006697
I didn't use it for physical goods, but Tenso worked very well and gave a japanese address, which is needed, and then from what I remember Tenso just deliver it to you.
You'll have to provide proof of person, and proof of address, so something like providing a passport and recent (3-6 months I think) bank statement for physical goods.
I've seen some of those stands and goods and I wouldn't mind grabbing a few of those myself. They look really cute.

>>5006697
I havent brought from them but I also second Tenso, Ive used it in the past for other things with no problem.If the id bit bothers you or you dont like the idea of having to input the address yourself zenmarket is very easy to use.
Just remember if you ever need to buy things quickly you should set up a tenso account just in case.

>>5007014
>Shota Akina
Oh no...
I'll just add that if the whole address thing is confusing you at first, there's both online guides, and you can just use google translate in a separate window and go line by line. Took me a few minutes to get it at first.

>>5006889
she was probably embarrassed but also I'm guessing she might not want people to start to ship her with belmond - a ton of the comments were related to that on the clip i saw so she might be uncomfortable with it. It wouldve been good publicity and was very cute but i can understand not wanting it to spread. Feels bad for the clippers who got striked though for sure...

>>5009539
ok so this person >>5006889 was right. Either she and/or her manager really don't want her to be popular. Is this also why she stopped collabing with Ebio that much (yes I know they recently did the 3d, but they used to collab so much back in the day) ?

>>5010253
Was there some explanation about it or something? Or is it just the general consensus that aligned with what I said about not wanting to be popular.
Strange that you wouldn't want to be more popular, unless, I suppose, there's some sort of background politics or more workload.

>>5006889
thanks! I'll try out tenso and hopefully the goods won't be sold out this time. I planned on getting the meschers hand lotions when they came out a bit ago and they sold out immediately.

>>5007014
thank you for the rec, anon! also, are you also a myakchad?

>>5014154
No bother, Akinachad. Hand lotion? Okay, just how much stuff do Nijisanji sell? I get typical merch but that's a new one to me. Does it smell like Akina or one of the other Meschers boys?
That art is cute! I can't tell if it's super shippy, or if Akina is just being himself. Also, I really love how Mayuyu has that whole long sleeve thing going on. It's the thing I love in so much of his art. Looks very comfy.

>>5014154
No, I just save art of all sorts, I'm very open to any sort of shipping artwork, for me if I like the style its all worth saving. Good luck on getting your goods, tenso is the best bet for something like that.

Haha, Kaida go brrrr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uXNc1bOfUI

>>5014965
I think the lotions were scented just to suit their essences, and I wanted the sample bottles of each but they were gone as soon as they were up. akina is pretty affectionate, so it could be either. and yeah I love mayu's moe sleeves, it's definitely one of his charm points for me.

>>5015141
that's based in and of itself thank you, I'll do my best.

>>5014154
unbelievably based

>>5016048
I almost want to buy those just to see what their essences are like. Will have to look those up later. I hope they come out with something similar so you can get them, anon.

>>5019505
It pisses me off how there are so many more dislikes on his stream compared to the others, but I guess that's just how it is

>>4990417
the Ebio minecraft house clip compilation is what got me into this shithole

I missed you bros.

>>5007014
Reverse image search didn't yield results, do you happen to know who the artist of this pic is?

>>5025965
You and me both lad.

I miss their minecraft shenanigans. Shellin was online few days ago (off stream, Bel saw him), I wonder if he gonna stream MC again once his schedule loosened up.

>>5025965
Exquisite taste. Kaida is made for bullying.
Although sometimes he acts in such a way that I want to huge him and tell him it'll be okay instead, like when he went through his contacts trying to find a friend that was a girl.

>>5010253
Nah, that because the shipper of EbiMaru can be annoying.
They literally pushing it every time to both Ebio and Ars, to the point Ebio has to calm everyone down

>>5047188
she's so scared she closed her eyes lol

I just subbed to Darkness Eater because he is very cute. Does he count for this thread? I ask because it's just blatantly obvious that it's an Inuyama Tamaki situation, except without the wearing dresses part. I just don't know who is most likely to talk about him.
If he doesn't count, I also subbed to Belmond Banderas because he is very cute.

>>5047596
Babiniku's count, don't see why they wouldn't.

>>5047596
yes, since masaru acts as a male it's fine

>>5047596
Masaru's ASMR streams are top tier. I'm fine with allowing discussion of him (as the character is described as male) in the thread.
Big Man Belmond. Nice choice. May I suggest also checking out Bonnivier. Similar deep smooth voice.

>>5048526
How can I get a voice like Mashiro's?

>>5048526
Mashiro LOVE!

>>5044709
Absolutely blessed sight, thanks for reminding me to watch the archive

>>5046372
Why did she start screaming like a maniac when he picked her up?

>>5027359
this old man's english is pretty cute

>>5049281
If you've ever been princess carried you'd know that the urge to scream is very strong, it's the combination of being hoisted up very quickly and the silliness of the situation. Also gundou just screams a lot in general

>>5047188
Faakingu gotto.
Mashii is either being do-s or a mama to Meli in this stream, very cute combi. I hope they collab more.

>>5049281
If I had to guess, she was worried about being dropped live on stream kek. An ex of mine would get like that whenever I went to pick her up. Now, she was probably heavier than Gundou (although her distribution was unironically top tier, never seen hips so good) but she would also get freaked out.

Sent a superchat to my oshi that got a pretty good laugh from him. Feelsgoodman. I wish I knew what he said after because the chat filled with 草 and wwww for a solid 15-20 seconds afterwards.
Although I also feel bad because a word I used messed him up a bit. I'm still getting used to figuring out what level of English Kaida is comfortable with. Still, got my oshi to laugh. Today is a good day.

>>5048371

>>5048548
training maybe idk

>>5051052
do you have a timestamp?

>>5053448
Here you go. I keep rewatching it. His laugh is adorable.

>>5044709
was watching the vod and noticed kanda did at least two FFXIV dance emotes, the manderville during the dance game and the songbird dance using gundou's body. the fact that he knows them well enough to do them on reflex is really funny to me

>>5061112
i love these two, their portal stream was very fun

>>5061531
The Shellin Akina dynamic is really fun, Shellin Mayuyu as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg7QzSCnJuM
Even small unspoken things between the two really amuse me, but I have a very dumb sense of humor.

Translated version of this. Note, keep your volume low. This person takes after my own heart and loves Kaida Haru's screams. It's damn loud at the end.

>>5058937
He was also in the ballet club in high school, so it's easy for him to replicate simple dance moves.

Can anyone recommend me some good livers to watch? I feel like everyone I am checking out is only doing apex these days and I would like to see something else.

>>5080226
What kind of livers do you prefer? Beside not being Apex gremlin?
Mayuzumi, Shellin, Kagami, Rikiichi, Yumeoi, Kou, Kenmochi, Gaku, Masaru, Kanda, Gwelu, Mashiro, and Chaika are the ones who don't really play Apex, some of them has touched the game, but they don't play it regularly.

>>5081045
Oh, forgot Maimoto and Belmond.

>>5081045
I prefer those who play games and/or interact with their audience, besides not a big fan of Zatsudan because my Japanese still sucks. So far I checked out Belmond and Kagami and one of them is probably going to be my oshi.

>>5071765
Damn, I love this. I'm sucker for Aimer's songs and Suha's voice is beautiful in this cover too

Give me the rundown on Kanae. The long one, not the quick one.

>>5085544
Kanakana is a good honest boy who doesnt tell lies, thats all you need to know.

Helo Nijimalethread, Ibrahim, Kenmochi, Gaku and Kagami are in the big Among Us collab that started just now in case you're missing it.

>>5081427
For fan interaction, Kenmochi is your man, he often do viewer participation stream. Ib use TTS for SC, which lead to some hilarious tsukkomi. He plays Apex a lot though.
For games, Shellin has a rather similar taste in games as Belmond and often talk with his chat, Yashiro is good at almost everything he played and often collab with Kagami. Mashiro if you like indie horror game, Mayuzumi often play indie games too.

Streaming monster
His legendary debut stream was 9 hrs long and he's streamed everyday since his debut 3 years ago

>>5085544
A liar, a nice boy, a jokester, a sadist(?), a social butterfly, a dedicated streamer who has streamed (with very rare exceptions) every single day. As reliable as the sun rising. He once bought a lighter just to pretend he was smoking on stream to shock people. Loves FPS games but has streamed a variety of games too.

My current favorite moment from him.

>>4989831
Why are the men carrying the women in Nijisanji?

>>5089406
I just had a listen Turing Love... I have a feeling this is going to be a 10/10 cover from my favourite boys.

>>5085544
cute hapa that gives off teasing ara ara nee-san vibes.

>>5093663
do we actually know what he's mixed with

>>5089406
I want Yashiro to play the godmaster dlc and see how much I suck at it compared to him. It's been 3 years and I've yet to beat the pantheon of the kinght.

>>5094423
I don't think so. I've seen some speculations in youtube comments of clips mentioning his mom but they all seem like guesses.

bilibili is doing a merchandise run for nijisanji livers, our lads have been spotted amongst them

>>5095989
Why did this guy name himself after the broken English girl from the anime?

what is it about psychopathic boys that makes them so addicting?

>>5100056
seeing them flip the switch

>>5098925
haru and genzuki?

>>5103544
the earring definitely points to haru

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
my wife

>>5103727
"Points to"? It really shouldn't be hard to tell, should it?

kenmochi toting around noraneko in the among us collab was cute today

>>5051052
I now have access to the live chat and was able to google translate some comments. I didn't realise how many people and how long actually reacted to that moment. It went on for over 2 minutes!
In a weird way, I'm happy that, as an overseas viewer, I was able to get such a positive reaction from chat. It feels really nice, giving a small thing back in a way maybe? I'm not sure.
Do you anons try to interact somewhat with your oshi's fandom, just small things like commenting on art you love, or whatever else you could do?

>>5104340
10/10 Wife. Would marry.

>>5109576
things like participating in chat i don't really like to do (my superchats are always blank). there is no particular reason, i even enjoy reading other people's messages, i just personally prefer to be silent.
but i recently started watching some of the KR boys and their chats are slow compared with my oshi, so i occasionally try to send something. i know that my oshi reads his chat as well, i just feel like he already knows there is a lot of us present so it's okay if i don't say anything.

as for fan creations, if i like something i will go to the source and give it a like+RT (or whatever the platform works with). i've sent a marshmallow to an artist i enjoy once but that was an exceptional case. that's about it.

>>5109933
That's the thing with slow chats, you really can make a difference if you say something. Was watching a stream where the streamer didn't know what a pegboard was and nobody in the chat was explaining so I was really close to saying something myself but then someone did explain so I didn't need to. But that's a good example of a case where you actually can help by saying something.

>>5109576
the only thing i ever typed in a youtube chat was おつまぶし in nagao's chat like 4 months ago because i was feeling brave.... also 4chan is the only fanbase i interact with, unless you count retweeting fanart on a locked twitter as interaction
i'd to act like a ghost when it comes to watching vtubers. but it's cute that the chat reacted to your comment, kaida's confused noise was cute too

>>5110070
i agree. that's why i try to say something when the chat is slow, especially if the streamer is trying to make conversation or asking us something. as much as i prefer being silent, he's trying his best so i'll do so as well. >>5055793 is an adorable moment both on haru and anon's end, but things like that are too much out of my comfort zone.
>>5110116
we are the same, anon... i think it's okay, though. different types of listeners and we support in different ways too.
pic unrelated it's just cute.

>>5109933
>>5110070
I got very nervous about posting in chat after finding out about all those rules/guidelines. Concerned about breaking one by accident and coming off as rude or something. I'm more comfortable now but still careful. Yet, I'm quite different from most of you it seems, I enjoy interaction a lot and find it fun.
Slow chats can be really nice. Different vibe. It why I quite like Bonnivier's chill streams. Just able to relax and enjoy the stream, and even chat a small bit.
I also try to comment on a lot of art, just things like "This is really cute!" Or "Your drawing is great!" Smaller/newer artists too. I know how much a small comment like that can help boost confidence to someone just starting to post stuff.

>>5110070
>>5110724
It never crossed my mind there would be people who would much prefer being like ghosts, supporting their oshi quietly with love in the background! Cute!
>Kaida's confused noise was cute
It was, even if I felt embarrassed at making him struggling with a word.
>an adorable moment both on haru and anon's end
It's honestly made my week. I'm still grinning about it!
And yes this pic is very cute.

Do you guys want to see something sad

>>5113208
suha.... it's a sad affair to return to but yuya's twitch stream made me feel better about it, she wasn't sad at all.

>>5113208
Man I hope NijiKR could stay for a lot longer, they have some really cute boys (and girls too). The international amogus collab was so much fun. But between Yuya and Bora's hiatus I can't help but concernfag a bit. Also, I'm honestly impressed that apparently ID hadn't graduated a single member so far?

>>5115126
Student life in Korea is infamously rigorous and the vtuber audience not super huge, it doesn't surprise me that they have the highest attrition rate all in all.

>>5115126
I'm not too worried about NijiKR, they're still doing way better than NijiIN ever was. It seems like the only reason people are graduating is for personal reasons.

>>5113208
It's even sadder when you consider that none of them retired because they wanted to leave. Yuya and Wiffy retired due to work related reasons and Ruri retired because of health related reasons it's all really unfortunate. I don't think we should feel that concerned about KR's future though they are meeting any color's expectations and the number of applicants increases everytime they open auditions

It may be a long shot but does anyone here watch any VirtuaReal livers? I was surprised to see this.

>>5123803
That was a fun stream, Ive ended up watching this kusoge so much but cute detective yells were worth it.

Kanae is tilted lol

No hope for Kanae getting diamond, but he's very cute today so it's all cool

he couldn't save her...

but it seems he and kaza want to rank together next season. (also he wants to play kukiyomi tomorrow.)

mama haru moment. very cute

he has a lot of different outfits and hairstyles that make for cute combinations. i know he doesn't have to and it doesn't change much anyway, but i wish he would sometimes alternate which one he uses on stream.

>>5146384
The joke is he’s always wearing his jersey except when he has to go outside and make himself look presentable, and whenever he wears a different outfit for a collab or outside his stream it carries over the next stream (of his) for a day
All that aside it would be nice to see some variance but at the same time it makes those few times he changes things up (for example when he puts on some glasses or grows his hair out for a bit, or even when he toggles something accidentally) feel special.

>>5147948
at least it's definitely in character which is very funny. both in the sense of him being too lazy/not giving enough of a fuck to change clothes And being too lazy to switch the model around.

>>5156572
This art is pretty. Although what's happening around him? I wonder why he's surrounded by broken metal and scrap?
Akina is so damn cute. Just wanna snuggle him.

Remember we have a Kaida x Genzuki collab Turing Love cover in a couple hours! They're gonna kill it!

Both of Casino and Chihiro Anti's spam during tourney are annoying on main channel stream.

>>5146384
He is to lazy about it, The JanKenPon tourney is his literally first time using Niji3D and he can't set it up properly.

Who was your first love, anons? Is he still your oshi now? What was the moment that made you decide your current oshi is the one for you?

Pic related, I got into niji through the vamp because I love characters that has a "my pace" personality, but I just can't watch long fps streams without getting bored halfway, so I kinda stopped watching Kuzuha after a while. Then I found Ago. I really like how he always does stuff in his own way, he never really cares to cater to the mass. His streams offers a great variety of stuff too. Wish he'd stream more often though.

>>5169054
>introduction
chronoir 3D clip
>first love
mayuzumi.. i still love him, i just turned into a DD who switches favorites as fast as a light switch. there's way too many great vtubers. i can't call mayu my oshi because i suck at attending streams even though he isn't a stream monster like kanae. but i'm enthralled with his lore and dedication to it.
during this break time i've been watching a lot of mashiro, and genzuki karaoke

>>5169054
got into 2434 boys by accident when i bought some collab goods from the convenience store (an iced coffee lol). at first i was ambivalent because i associated vtubers with moe lolis (not my thing), but my friend buried me in clips and now i'm in deeper than them lol.

first love was kuzuha since he was part of the collab goods, his design is good, and since he's so popular there was no shortage of good clips. but i lost interest in him pretty quick (though he's a cool guy, don't get me wrong) and now oshi is kanae and akina. kanae won me over on a random long-ass tarkov stream where he was suddenly really sincere and open about worrying that his fans were bored of him and how he seemed stuck in a rut, and i realized he's not as self-assured as he likes to appear. then i started to love akina after watching clips with him and kanae, and seeing what a sweet and sincere and supportive guy he is. i also find akina's moments of insecurity heart-wrenching, and they make me want to support him even more.

also just love meschers in general (fuwa's dopey laugh could heal my soul), and am subbed to valz, kenmochi, gaku, shacho, and ib. i don't make nearly as much of an effort to keep up with every stream of theirs, though.

>>5169054
my first oshi was actually amelia from hololive. youtube kept recommending me chronoir clips and I started to really like kanae, and through him I discovered akina. I don't know what it was, but the second I saw him I was just so thoroughly endeared, and spent the rest of my evening binging any clips I could find. I love that he's a dorky, hopeless romantic, and though he's cringe as fuck sometimes, he's also a genuinely thoughtful person. his ridiculousness and his boyishness are just too funny to me. he's the only one that I'm a member for, but my second favorites are meschers as a whole, mashiro, and touya. but I love all of the niji boys as well

>>5169054
My first Nijimale is Kanae. I have no single "oshi" desu but I do have a lot of crushes: Kenmochi, Fuwa, Akina, Kanae, Genzuki, Kaida all make me gosling in different ways. The only one I consistently watch though is Ago because he streams rarely and doesn't play Apex lol

>>5160746

I really liked it. This I it really suited them, and the video was too adorable. I'm going to have either go to the artist and hope they upload all the art, or screenshot everything.
[Spoiler]I might start lightly shipping them after that though. Just because they're too cute.[/spoiler]

>>5172768
Been curious for a while, how many people in these threads are actually gay men, and how many are straight but like watching male Nijis anyway?

>>5169054
I've been watching him since his appearance in Mitoraji and he's the only one I still watch regularly nowadays, and by regularly I mean once every 3 days.

>>5173181
this question is going to cause some arguments

>>5173181

First love and oshi is Kanae
I got into niji watching a random clip and from that I went to watching streams.
I love his personality, how he's nice while being a huge troll at the same time. Even though he acts as a troll and scary psychopath sometimes, his friends have attested to his niceness. 3 seperate people named him specifically in their letters of gratitude for one of the previous CR cups.
He's also really hardworking and cares a lot about streaming. Streams everyday despite having a full schedule apart from that (recording, voice training, gym, etc.)
He always wants to improve the stream experience for his viewers. Bought a 10mil ¥ soundproof room and more expensive mics for better sound quality.
Yet he's not a pushover and he doesn't let himself get bullied by chat or just do everything chat wants just to please his them.
And I really like watching his gameplay. His sniper is satisfying to watch and I like watching him figure out game mechanics when he's playing a new game.
I feel like supporting him more when I see how hard he works.

>>5160746
I liked it. Cute song

>>5173181
Gonna just answer frankly that I'm indeed a fag. Idk about the overall rate of faggotry in these threads but I also watch Niji and Holo girls and participated in some girls' threads (including hornyposting in Marine's /ahoy/) while being a homo so... yeah.

>>5173181
I'm not gay but I am a bit of a fudanshi. Boys can be just as moe as girls.

>>5169054
First love is Kanae is he's still my number one oshi. His clip got recommended to me when I was watching random holo clips my friend sent me, clicked and thought "oh didn't know male v exist" and I just fell into the hole like that.
This anon here >>5173774 said pretty much the same of what I could say about him. The fact that he's working so hard nowadays is motivating me to improve myself. I've pretty much made him my ideal bf image

>>5174132
Sounds like you're bisexual. Personally I prefer to use the term pansexual but I know my audience and don't use that word on 4chan so as to avoid pointless arguments. So I just say "sounds like you're bisexual" instead.

>>5169054
i'm a little late to answer this and sorry for the word vomit but for boys i started off watching mochi and chronoir (usually the case for many people), who i still watch to this day but aren't my oshi.
i found akina's first stream super adorable and endearing. his design is cute, but he's also very funny and i love his enthusiasm and how down he is for everything.
his relationship with listeners/chat is hilarious and i feel comfortable. his tweets are a bit cringe and he has his weird moments even on stream but i love him all the same. it's part of his charm i think.
his singing is very nice too, i think he's good at showing emotion through singing, and i like the gap he has between his silly and "stage" self (it's also funny/cute when he's just having fun doing karaoke and isn't taking himself seriously).
somewhere along the way he became my oshi, not sure i can pinpoint a specific moment but i eventually realized i was making more efforts to catch his streams and actually watching his archives from beginning to end.
he was my first superchat and membership. the 3d debut and major cd debut made me beyond happy. i wish for more great things happening to him in the future. that got longer than i wanted it to be.

Street Fighter woot =)

>>5169054
The first Nijisanji I watched regularly was Kanae, way back around when he debuted. I still watch him, but my oshi is Kanda. I started watching him randomly, just clicked on a link in one of the old, pre-split /jp/ threads. There's not really one moment when I "fell" for him, more like I got used to his streams and made them into a habit. He was refreshing after watching so much Kanae. When I started watching him he was maybe around 15,000 subs (this was before Gunkan) so it's been a crazy ride, which has made me like him more. I really like his attitude towards streaming and life in general, and I feel like we could be friends in another life.

Lots of kokyuu misa fanarts are resurfacing tonight.
>>5181347
He blueballed us back when he said he has 3 major announcements and then dropped this right at the time most people aren't expecting.
>>5184668
Ago LOVE! Why is he so hot in apron

>>5181347
hype! any other anons planning on getting it?

>>5173181
I'm attracted to guys but I never saw attraction as the reason to watch them, sure some designs are appealing and they do cute stuff but I watch and enjoy girls doing cute stuff too.

>>5195724
It's weird to think of them as cool but they definitely are here, the gap moe is so good

Bah! I had an answer mostly typed out but my phone decided to refresh the page because I left my phone for too long. It's what I deserve for phone posting.

>>5169054
The first Nijimale that caught my interest was Genzuki Tojiro, although I would probably be lying if I said first love, as it was more of a passing interest before I got trapped here. But Genzuki was 100% the first boy to grab my attention. I posted this already, and it's crazy to think it was only a little over a month ago, but I first got into the Nijimales (Vtubers in general to be honest) when I watched a compilation by the official channel of a bunch of them (trying to) speaking English. Genzuki stood out to me with his very soft voice and great pronunciation. But I think the thing that made me search him was actually the way he pronounced "manager" in the video, purely because it sounded like he had my country's accent when he said. I thought it was kinda cute. So, I decided to look up some more videos of him.
Through him, I discovered Kaida, and something about him just endeared me to him, till I suddenly realised it was 4am and I had been watching clips of Kaida for the entire night. He's really my first love and still is my oshi. Considering the experience I've had with him so far, I think he will be for quite a while. I think the moment I fell for him, and the moment I realised I fallen in deep, was when he spoke about being an introvert, and the difference with extroverts. A lot of what he said resonated with me, and I suppose I connected with him. He seems like a person who thinks deeply on things.
Throw in his lovely, and to me unique, singing, his design, and his general personality, and he pretty much hooked me. There's also the fact he's makes me want to both tease him and care for him at the same time but we'll ignore that. Nowadays though, the main thing that I love about him is probably his kindness. Through everything I've seen of him, he seems like a person who genuinely cares and loves, and goes out of his way to make others happy in small ways. There's a reason the Emerald Tree Minecraft saga is one of my favourites. I recently watched a clip where he talked about how he apparently broke down crying (or at least got very emotional) after his debut ended and he was on VC with Genzuki and Nagao. It got me in the feels.

>>5173181
It's weird, I'd classify myself as straight, never had any attraction to males IRL, even a close gay friend of mine, who I'd consider quite good looking, just not attractive to me.
Yet, admittedly I've had moments where my heart flutters when it comes to various Nijimales. I don't count just considering people like Mashiro or Genzuki cute in this, because they just are cute. Objective fact. For example on what I'm talking about, my current favourite ASMR is Kaida's heartbeat and his gentle breathing. When I first heard it and realised what it was, I had this image of being cuddled up against Kaida's chest, and the thought was very relaxing. Similarly, Kaida has made...noises, that does things to me. Akina is also in there in making my heart flutter.
I'm not really sure how to described this attraction. Maybe I'm slightly bi but only for more idealised anime types.

>>5186217
>his singing is very nice too, i think he's good at showing emotion through singing
Absolutely agree. Akina really stands out for me with his passion. He puts his all into his covers. I'll have to check out more karaoke streams though and see him just being silly.

>>5200076
>i would love to hear them do more song as a duo
They do, but not as vtubers

>>5173181
The answers in this thread just shows that cuteness transcends sexuality

>>5173181
I'm straight, though I live with gay housemates. I've always been fine with any kind of content regardless of the intended demographic and I think male characters can be moe too. My introduction to Nijisanji was from finding Mayuzumi's Garage playthrough, and it opened me up to the variety of content out there. I'd say he and Yashiro are my favorite Niji boys but they all have their own appeal. I stick around in here because the threads are nice and no one I know cares for male vtubers.

>>5184668
I want to breed this lolicon.

>>5204740

>>5219891
Yeah this may be one of the rare threads on this board where everyone seems mutually happy instead of trying to kill each other.

This is a weird, obviously newfag request but I really want to see male vtubers crying on stream, are there any examples in Nijisanji?

>>5222117
https://youtu.be/FbWRfPI4G0k SSR Shellin's crying, he also cried when Roa, Uiha, and Yumeo sang happy birthday for him. He's easily moved with this kind of thing.

>>5222454
てぇてぇ

>>5222117
I will assume you have good intentions, anon, with such a request.
https://youtu.be/VSVJKwUQY4I
Skip to about 5 minutes in and you'll see Genzuki Tojiro react to hitting 100k. Obviously, he super happy, but as he mentioned, he was the last of the VΔLZ trio to hit it, and imagine how being the least popular, or slowest would play on your mind. Must have been an overwhelming feeling. I think it took him an extra 2 months or something to hit 100K after Kaida.
I've seen moments where Nijimales talk about crying, if that would also suit. (I'd have to find them though.)

>>5226838
His cough seems a bit more under control today. I hope whatever was up with him is getting better.
Also bloody hell that was a high pitch.

Why don't the nijimales have live tl?
Just noticed when I was watching a holostars stream one time that there were many people doing tl in the live chat.
Is it not allowed?

akina got offended that half his followers thought he had the mental capacity of a baby and did a brain age measurement game. It was a really fun stream; particularly recommend it to those who like his voice when he's forced to speak more softly instead of his usual yelling lol.
https://youtu.be/_YVgsrOEfp4
he's actually absurdly smart, which just adds gap moe on top of his other list of appeal points.

he challenged fuwa to do it next which should be fun if fuwa follows through, since he's a very 'single braincell' kind of guy. hopefully mayuyu will do it too once he feels comfortable returning.

>>5227992
The stars have a large EOP viewership, Nijimales audience is still supermajority JOP.

Wife material..
https://youtu.be/cRiczj9x9-o

>>5228296
Uh... if they were EOP that would mean they wouldn't be able to live translate the streams. I'm not sure what you think EOP stands for.

>>5227992
There was live TL in Kaida and Genzuki's streams months ago, sometimes in Fuwa's too, but I guess they got tired of it.

>>5229968
Perfect wife. Also still not over the fact that he created an insta for this very purpose and either forgets or is too afraid to start posting to it.

>>5230100
What I meant to say is for holostars there's a larger demand for live TL due to large EOP viewership (mostly spillover from Hololive) which is catered accordingly while for Niji males like others in NijiJP in general the audience is overwhelmingly nip and there's not much demand to live translate for EOPs, so practically no one's doing it. Also Nijis tend to be particularly less inclined to appeal to foreign viewers in general.

>>5228096
it was great, i like when he streams this type of stuff. also i noticed he streamed back to back this week, i'm happy.

>>5231340
bro, same. for a while there (for the like... month after his anniversary) i was seriously concerned about both his mental health and if he might be considering graduating, so it's been a relief watching him stream more often lately and collab with others and just generally be in pretty high spirits. he's got a whole bunch of games lined up that he's interested (both more kukiyomi and bio), plus upcoming raindrops concert, and he's been talking about doing recording and editing work so maybe another cover in the future. glad he's gotten back in the groove.

>>5231340
I'm surprised Nijisanji has streaming permissions to Brain Age because it is an old as fuck DS game. Like do they have blanket permission for all of Nintendo's library because it seems weird that they'd go out of their way specifically to ask for that, and furthermore that Nintendo would say yes considering there's no money to be made off it.

reminder: it wasn't his fault

>>5173181

I'll add that these threads are incredibly comfy compared to elsewhere and are some of the few places I can actually discuss VTubers without having to duel the rrat king.

>>5239386

But yeah.

>>5238184
Is the step mom thing referring to Kanae?

>>5240535
yes

>>5230192
i was actually curious on why he created an Instagram, was it really for food? I thought it would be to post clips of his stream.

ohagaku time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvXwgeeTwlo

>>5246798
he wanted to do it because he'd been thinking for a long time that he needed a new hobby, because gaming used to be his hobby but it then became his job, leaving him hobby-less. so he figured if cooking became his hobby it would be nice if he had somewhere to share photos of his cooking. but he seems pretty nervous about using it, even after spending a whole stream setting it up. maybe he's afraid of accidental fan interactions, maybe he's just being a perfectionist about what photos to post, who knows.

i think ebio created an insta around the same time, and it's enjoyable to get to see snippets of their lives outside the virtual realm (akki and fuwa have done a tiny bit of the same), but i can see why they'd be leery about it. particularly kanae, who's pretty ambivalent about acting too close to his fans.

NijisanjiEN just announced audition for male livers. https://twitter.com/NIJISANJI_World/status/1405706837660295173

>>5258718
gotta wonder why they aren't looking for more jp vtubers but oh well
>no male designs teased
oh well...

>>5258965
They'll prolly only release one male with custom design for the next gen. Also males have more design variations - they could be shotas, bishonen, ikemen, fujobaits, traps, bara men etc so I'm guessing they're looking from the applicants first before deciding on the right design.

>>5258965
>>5259316
For just a moment I saw the pictures and thought, "What the fuck, they're just reusing Kuzuha's design? That seems pretty lazy."

>>5258718
What type of design/personality would you anons like to see from NijiEN?
Any particular accents you might like?

>>5259728
they're recruiting english voice actors for all our favorite JP chuubas

>>5259731
I'd like to see a British one, any type of British accent is fine. It's just that all the ENs across both Hololive and Nijisanji so far have been Americans and Canadians and one random Austrian. So I'd like some more variety.

>>5258965
Doesn't Nijisanji have literally over 100 talents at this point? Their budget's gotta be stretched pretty thin. I'm not surprised they're satisfied with the current state of JP livers, especially when they're paying people like Gilzaren who don't even bother streaming.

>>5259731
if they find someone who's a good singer and/or likes to play rhythm games i will be very happy.
i don't mind any design theme but i wonder if they want to debut a group that has a matching theme/story sort of like vΔlz or what they're (sort of) doing with lazulight.

>>5260258
Nijisanji does not pay a flat salary, though Gilzaren does get money by selling goods.

>>5260810
Being talented seems to be a pretty important thing in being able to put out certain content. Song covers can explode in views and singing/playing streams are always great.
Agree it would be good to debut a themed group that go together. VΔLZ, Merschers, you can see how those groups can be great for recognition and growing each person.
You know, listening to all of the amazing talents in Niji has made me even more certain I want to learn how to sing properly. I have an okay voice, fine for a sing song in the pub, but I want some actual ability and skill.

>>5258965
Lazulight also didn't have designs released for their auditions. It's likely that the males for nijiEN will come out in December or even January while the girls who auditioned for those designs debut it September-October.
