With what market and audience? Almost everyone outside of Japan hates the shitty black company and their organs are still bleeding subs almost a year later. Couple that with Vivi graduating after stating the company is the reason she is leaving (and not because of antis/harassment as was originally peddled) looks even worse. And apparently more are on the way out, one of which will "shock" people.
There is no hope of recovery for NijiEN.

Extremely unlikely. Elira, Vox, Ike, and a bunch of others are booked for a show in February. They already paid money for a key visual, they're not gonna pay more money for a redone poster with her removed.
In the poster, behind those three and depicted with major "supporting cast" energy, are Ren, Rosemi, Maria, Enna, and either Luca or Sonny. I believe both Luca and Sonny are scheduled to make an appearance, and it's been confirmed that most (not all!) of current-EN will be there.

A handful of EN members are not currently scheduled to be there, and I'm pretty sure Fulgur is on the no-show list. His absence from the show is obviously for medical reasons.
If you exclude Fulgur from the no-show list, then that list becomes the list of the EN members most likely to already be scheduled to graduate over the next 3 and a half months.

Those four plus Denauth, so that's 7 out of 31 in the branch who might be on their way out this winter. Anyone else in EN not scheduled for Nijifes?
>>89200582
She's said she wanted to spend time with a few others and put out an open invitation, and got over 20 to party with her.
She's there to record stuff, but not necessarily Nijifes stuff. There is a small but non-zero chance that she's recording a 3D live or other 3D stuff for an upcoming graduation, with a smaller but still non-zero chance that it's for her own graduation. She said in a members stream a few days ago that she doesn't have a lot of time; but then quickly corrected herself to add "in Japan" to that, in a similar way to how a streamer would add "in Minecraft" when they talk about things YT/Twitch don't want them to talk about
And even if Finana is recording stuff for Nijifes but will graduate before the Fes, they can still have her in the show; same way they had Pomu sing in some MVs after she graduated, including one on Finana's own channel. There's also that whole "Kyo appearing in Enna's 3D debut 2 months after Kyo's graduation, and one month after Quinn's (re-)debut" thing from April.

There's still the possibility of someone graduating right after that music festival. An announcement of a graduation being made a few days before and the graduation a few days after, like with Pomu and Anime Impulse back in January.
Also, there's a bit more than two weeks left in the month. So in the unlikely event that someone else is graduating this month and they intend to give the fans at least two weeks' notice, then the announcement will be made this week. Friday will be the last business day they can make the announcement, and Saturday is the last calendar day.
...oh, and there's a possibility of two or more people graduating on the same day, like they tried to do with Hex and Kunai (and which actually was done with two of the JP talents at the end of January). Oh, and there's a possibility of more than one graduation being announced in a graduation notice, like those same two JP talents, and several sets of ex-ID talents (including Mika and two others last October), and like they tried to do with Hex and Kunai.

....oh, and the Niji Encounter song with Elira and Enna is releasing this week, along with the announcement of the next (and final?) song in the project.

That's what i mean, after the festival. between the 9tuh-17th a announcement would mean that if the two weeks rule held up they'd graduate between the 23rd (1st day after the festival) to the 31st.

I highly doubt they're gonna let 2 EN talents go in the same month though, unless contracts are ending around that time but in that case Vivi should've left with Kunai (unless they enticed her with something to have her stay a month longer.)

P.S. - the graduation period does not necessarily have to be EXACTLY two weeks; it's just that it's usually a MINIMUM of two weeks. Mysta and Kunai both had more than two weeks between their white papers and their actual graduation dates, and I think Vivi did as well. They could announce on Dec 9 that someone is graduating on Dec 31, for instance.
To date, the only person to "graduate" from EN with less than 2 weeks' notice was Yugo, whose "graduation" was a termination in all but name.

Kunai declined to do a double graduation with Hex because she wanted to do him a solid. She wanted him to be the sole center of attention during his graduation period, especially since she had no intention of doing any of the typical graduation period streams (graduation announcement stream, final game collabs, final totsu, graduation stream, etc.) regardless of when she actually graduated.
She did him a solid because she's a good person.
>>89217259
Between the two, Millie's the only one who can graduate before Nijifes. Enna is not only in Nijifes, she's also on the poster; so she can't graduate before the show, even if she tendered her resignation notice on Feb 6.
They can graduate together-ish, though. Both of their graduations announced in the same press release, with Millie's graduation being a few days before Nijifes and Enna's being a few days after, with a relatively short time between their graduations (and a potential Lyrica-Shannon collab very shortly after their redebuts). I won't even fancy a guess as to how likely this is to happen, I'm only saying that it's possible.

That is true but that begs the question, what would graduating first out of the clique get Millie as an indie? Does she think she can redo things to be as famous as she once was again?

Notwithstanding any issues Millie may have with the PH community, her ability to rehabilitate herself with the rest of the vtuber community depends pretty much entirely on Doki's willingness to either publicly vindicate her (if she did nothing wrong) or publicly forgive her (if she did something which needs forgiveness)
It is extremely unlikely that Doki would take that action unprompted, which means that Millie (whether as Millie or as Lyrica) would have to reach out to Doki and ask for the vindication/forgiveness she needs. There is a small but non-zero chance that such a reaching out may have already happened in private, and that both of them have agreed to keep it private for now so that management wouldn't retaliate against Millie.
Likewise, a similar private reaching out between Doki and other livers may also already have happened.

Honestly, rehabilitation is unlikely in general within a few years at least. She'd have to spend multiple years as a primarily solo act flying under the radar.

The current version of Nijisanji EN already is its second chance. The previous version of Nijisanji EN was so grossly underpromoted that it makes TTT's debut look like the World Cup; the first time anyone heard of the previous Niji EN was when they announced its closure.

If Anycolor has any plans for a third Nijisanji EN, it's already doomed to worse failure than the current Niji EN. Even to launch EN-3, first they'd have to officially cease EN-2's operations (either through merger or closure) and graduate or terminate all 31 current talents.
And then in the interim between EN-2's closure and EN-3's launch, that's have to somehow make the entire internet forget about 41 different vtubers, with thousands upon thousands of streams between the lot of them, and lots of events and physical merch, over a period of over 3 and a half years of existence.

This honestly. They had a chance with Vivi but didn't nurture one of their best potentials. Instead picking the guy to promote and even then there was no more focus on growth.

not really, getting rid of the problematic ones won't help them reach audience. they have to reorganize management, provide the infrastructure and support for people, make direct managers fighting on livers behalf, not companies, make them work for getting projects done instead of sabotaging each one of them. also, they should probably do more collabs outside of niji, like denauth or vivi were doing, but not with tainted faggots like vox or enna

doesn't seem like this would ever become a reality tho, pumping shitty corpo events with vox and elira until branch is completely dried down is much simpler

I find that second bit interesting because it's probably true.

Faggoonery aside, Doki's fanbase has had to go through a rollercoaster almost no other fanbase has had to go through (and I phrase it this way because I know of some vtubers that have passed away in reality). And there isn't a single established fanbase of a large indie or a corpo that has had to experience what they did: the absolute rollercoaster that was her termination, the events leading up to it, and the fallout afterward. No holo fan has ever had to go through anything like that. And no sister can say the same because their oshi was either another niji talent or the corpo itself. To my knowledge, there have been no large EN indies that have had such an explosive drama and idk if there's anything similar in other parts of the world.

Many things about this situation are unprecedented, and it's very likely we will never get something like this ever again in vtubing. The only thing that could be comparable is if someone in Holo did the same or worse. The reaction would make the same waves if it was in a smaller corpo like Phase or V4Mirai or whatever. And so no one really knew what the fuck to do, but Niji clearly believes apologizing would be the opposite of saving face. There is no "I'm sorry for the part I played in this and that I made her feel this way but she did go AWOL and do some bullshit that we had to fire her for." There is no reasonable middle ground for Niji EN. The only thing that would have forced a real apology out of Niji is if Selen had succeeded in her attempt, and god knows what her rabid fanbase would have done if that had happened. Mint might've succeeded in quitting vtubing entirely. I dare not imagine what Mumei might have done or said given that she knew Selen since their pre-corpo days. Even Niji JP might've felt the ripple effects had that happened.

But since this is the timeline we're in, Niji EN and the current remaining members will never apologize for anything because to them, apologizing is equivalent to admitting they were in the wrong. And they weren't in the wrong. Because to them, it's about defending themselves, about their ego, their image, about mememememe and not about anything else.

I think it would also not have the same big waves if it was not Selen/Doki.

In the previous year, Selen was making a name for herself - being a part of multiple apex events, making friends with a lot of apex pros, and finally cementing it with the vtuber award.

With the excitement of the 3D models, the upcoming concert, and the rarity of any music related content from her channel, her cover was something her fans looked forward to.

During her "break" after the last cup of coffee incident, dragoons tried to get together and made it a goal to get various milestones for her - reaching a certain number of subs, reaching a certain number of total watch time, etc.

Looking back at the contract leak, iirc, the company takes all of the earnings of the channel while the liver is getting "punished" for non compliance. Which maybe enraged the dragoons later on even more because the whole time management was quiet about the situation, probably trying to squeeze everything they could from her channel before they delete it.

iirc, the dragoons waited for a month (while making sure the channel still earns from views by vieing VODs) before they actually demanded from management to at least give an update about her situation. They even drafted their own white page announcement to show management how it's done. All they demanded was a simple "hey, she's okay guys" from management. Considering how they managed to actually reach various milestones for her channel, they probably felt that they had earned the right to demand this from management.

Then a week after the whole demanding thing, the management released the termination notice out of nowhere. Funny thing is, the termination also included a paragraph stating that they had properly paid her the supposed earnings of her channel, something that had no precedence for any announcement notice from niji I believe.

As an outsider at the time, it felt like the management was already worried about the capabilities of her fans. They did had the capabilities and courage to demand something from management and had it gain actual traction in twitter.

I also think it was the reason why the infamous black screen stream happened. The three were the most subbed livers at the time (Elira is the most subbed female after Selen iirc). They tried to gather up the Niji EN fans through the three and have them fight the Dragoons, which basically backfired.

While the self harm thing did provide the dragoons a nuke, I'd say they already had a lot of bullets and capabilities to actually deal significant damage to Niji back then even without it. Pomu and Doki were the only ones to make projects that involved the entire branch after all. Even the one Vox did was done by Selen and was only funded by him.

The decline of niji was inevitable after the two left. Most of the creative projects and collaborations were done by those two. Even the zuttomo thing couldn't hold a candle to when Pomu and Doki revealed their matching outifts.

The whole situation just made everything faster and a lot messier. But yes, a proper apology could have cleaned up a lot of issues right now. The fact that it would also be even messier if she succeeded in her attempt is also probably true. the entirety of Niji en might not even survive up to this point if it came to light.

Thing is, how much money is Anycolor willing to burn through to see if they can save EN? Look at Denauth, they're already getting outpaced by the new JP wave's lowest subbed member save for Klara (who would be middle of the row). And they debuted a couple months before them.

Second, EN's revenue right now is even worse than before they capitalized on the LuxNox hype. They made 807 Million yen in 2022 Q4 when they had just the Golden 20 before they're revenue skyrocketed. They make less of that now AND have expande to 31 talents they have to tend/pay, and not to mention these talents are not making up for the lost revenue from Selen, Nina, Pomu and ESPECIALLY Mysta considering their audience. And considering how few members/SCs that Denauth sees it's possible that it took MONTHS for them to maybe finally see some profit overall for them, if at all.

That graph gets even more stark when you break down the revenue by category. Stream and merch revenue is dropping badly, potentially at a worse percentage rate than overall revenue. Someone should make a graph that's basically yours and mine combined like a Voltron.
The branch needs to make about 3.6 billion yen over the next six months (that's about 600m yen per month, or about $4m USD) just to break even relative to the last fiscal year. They are currently on a pace to make... considerably less than that.

>> No.89239380

>>89238651
Problem is that they have their hands tied. They CAN'T let EN die like the rest of their foreign branches. For all that they've been in trouble with investors, at least Riku could claim that the branch was still going. If it croaks, Nijisanji is essentially back to the starting point in Japan+neighbours.
Nevermind that the japanese livers are still going strong, the mere stink of failure overseas alone could prove itself a lethal poison for the company as a whole.

The only theoretical way to be able to cut NijEN loose is to pull a Brave and start creating new western agencies WITHOUT the Niji brand, then pray people don't dig too deep. And even then, they'd need to keep EN in life support until these theoretical new branches become sustainable.
Ultimately, it's more realistically to keep ACCELERATING NijiEN and pray they have a breakout star dumb enough to sign up with them.

It's worse for Anycolor than you suggest. Including the just-finished Q2 (the results of which, to be fair, have not yet been published), their revenue has had quarterly declines for 6 consecutive quarters, and 8 of the last 9. The past 6 quarters have also had year-over-year drops, and those drops have been getting bigger almost every quarter. There's only so many times they can tell the shareholders "It's gonna be better this time!" before they start realizing that things will not get better.

Also, they're a publicly traded company. If they open a new overseas vtuber agency without the Nijisanji branding, they cannot not publish a notice that they're doing so. People won't need to dig deeper than AC's own IR page in order to figure out that the new vtuber agency that just popped up out of thin air is literally Great Value Niji EN, to say nothing about how AC already told the investors that their revenue forecasts don't include revenue from overseas operations, and how that new agency would be cannibalizing revenue from Niji EN (see also Chevy vs Pontiac vs Buick vs Saturn)

The only other way that Anycolor could have any success outside of the JP branch at this rate would have to be something akin to VirtuaReal, where they're providing the tech/resources for Vtuber company.

Thing is Anycolor's cut of revenue from VirtuaReal is meager compared to NijiEN, and secondly no company overseas (since it's unlikely they'd help their competition inland) would take the deal since Anycolor would try to leverage more compared to their deal with BiliBili (who owns VirtuaReal) and the PR trouble that may cause.

It does not sound backwards. In fact it sounds pretty much exactly like something they'd do, although my reasoning is a tiny bit different than yours:
She may have signed an exit contract, but to be allowed to leave before her contract expiration, she will need to pay the exit toll AND complete all of her must-finish projects. All of that merch and all of those promos bring in revenue, of which she gets a cut; the exit toll is a percentage of that cut, which is in addition to the cut AC would get regardless of whether or not she's leaving. And the must-finish projects, things which she must do in order for her name to be added to the graduation gachapon machine, would include things like special streams or show appearances (this is why Mika was in such a hurry to finish her charity streams last year)
The point of all this is twofold: both to rake in as much cash from the liver's existence before they leave, and to overwork the liver as punishment for wanting to leave. And if Elira is leaving, then it's a double punishment: all that extra hard work, and a significantly reduced revenue cut, in exchange for the privilege of being allowed to leave one day before her contract would otherwise have expired - she watched in real time as her years-long vtubing career was (almost?) irreparably destroyed over the course of fifteen minutes and one second, and now has to endure this punishment from the very company which destroyed her career for daring to entertain the thought of leaving the company.

If you're right that she's on her way out, and if I'm right that they're making her stay until one day before her contract expires as punishment for wanting to leave specifically because of the black screen, then she's not leaving until early April at the absolute earliest.

As someone who did research, Unlimited Inc. did all the hard things to actually try and turn it around, they basically eviscerated their entire corporate structure and personnel in addition to renaming to Brave in order to pull themselves out. But even that isn't enough to this day for what they have done.
Their saving grace has been their overseas branches, because if you look at any of the stuff they are doing in JP since their restructure, it's been object failure whether male or female. Take a look at Yumenos, and anything under their ENILIS group. They're all objectively doing terribly even compared to globie which is their worst performing overseas branch. VSPO is their only JP asset doing well because they brought it out.
Even if Anycolor implements a turnaround like that and commits to the hard stuff like Brave did, it will take literal years before they even are able to break even and investors would rather mothball or eviscerate the branch keep costs as low as possible over doing the hard things or bail which the smart people in the room already did.

That timeline for Niji would've been infinitely better than what they have now, and all it would've taken was for Selen to not fuck up her attempt.

I have less knowledge about that so I may be talking out my ass but they already have VSPO, they technically don't need to. Also, there isn't an upcoming agency that is getting attention. JP corpos are farther ahead of where the West is because their consolidation bust stage has already happened years ago. 774/Nanashi and Neo Porte are kinda at that Phase/Vshojo acquisition size where it might be untenable to eat up and they overlap heavily with what Brave already has outside of the male angle which would be what Brave is missing. However, males aren't really in at the moment given the Chinese women hasn't come back given the state of the Chinese economy at the moment which is still bad.

Something that keeps coming to mind.

I used to work with a woman that was bullied by a few other women in the office. The ringleader got herself fired because she got so used to just being able to insult this woman that she eventually called her a whore in front of our boss. That's what the black stream reminded me of. It felt like they'd gotten so used to the idea of Selen being a loser to them, that they genuinely weren't expected people to take her side.

This is why I believe that, had Selen been successful in her attempt, it'd be far, FAR, worse for Any color and Nijien than what >>89260788 says
The first people who'd know would obviously be her irl friends and family (as well as other close friends like Mumei and Pomu, no doubt) and the second they look into her online activities to see why that happened, it'd be game over for NijiEn
I'm pretty sure her family won't say anything to bad, but her friends are another story, especially based on how much she told them about what was going on behind the scenes

Perhaps, but they cannot just un-cross the thermocline. They have to earn their comeback; it will not be handed to them on a silver platter just because.
Some of the individual livers may make comebacks next year, particularly if they leave Niji and return as indies or as members of other agencies. Hell, all 31 of them could make a comeback this way. But the Nijisanji EN vtuber group itself will not and cannot make a comeback, until and unless management acknowledges that they made mistakes in their (gross mis)handling of the Selen situation.

Management's staunch refusal to even consider taking that first step has doomed the branch to relegation. The branch will not survive the fiscal year, and it may not even survive the calendar year.

To add to this, regaining trust takes time and investment. Resources, effort, and energy must be committed without guarantee. This is the exact opposite of what a company like Anycolor wants when their approach is to shotgun debuts and pray the total sum of their meager income per chuuba is enough to offset any losses they may have initially incurred.

What you said is 100% true. But what you described is steps 2 through ... some large number ... of the process.
Step one of the process is to acknowledge that steps 2 and beyond are even necessary, and the company's institutionalized narcissism prevents them from recognizing this.

You are correct to say that they don't want to spend time and money and effort to fix the branch. But the more immediate hurdle is that they don't know that they need to fix the branch at all; they think that any problems they have will magically go away simply by virtue of the fact that they're Nijisanji, the biggest vtuber agency (by talent headcount, and until very recently also by shareholder value) in the world. They seriously think, or at an absolute minimum told the shareholders that they seriously think, that the viewership and revenue problems EN is currently having will be solved simply by spamming branch-wide tournaments and 3D debuts.

Funnily enough, EN's viewership and revenue problems could theoretically be solved by spamming major tournaments and 3Ds and other special streams... on all talents' channels, 2 or 3 times a week, every week, non stop, in perpetuity. Of course, you'd have to ignore the part where major tournaments are special precisely because they happen so infrequently (consider the prestige of winning the once-every-four-years Olympics or World Cup versus winning a fencing match or a soccer game once every four days); and you'd also have to ignore the fact that's it's tautologically impossible for a vtuber to have more than one 3D debut showcase stream per incarnation, even if they make 3D appearances before that stream. But theoretically, assuming perpetual growth without any sort of soft cap, and also assuming a spherical cow , it should be possible for them to eventually get 100k viewers and 1m yen per stream just by playing Spider Solitaire.

Under that same reasoning, a car that can go from 0-60 mph in ten seconds can reach 360 mph in one minute, and over 21k mph in one hour.

There's no way this branch survives the fiscal year, there just isn't. They're making less money now than Q4 2022 (which was when Noctyx debuted and they and Luxiem didn't skyrocket.) and they have expanded by over half in members since then.

Investor's know that this branch is fubar as fuck. Has been last Q4 at the earliest. Expect a repeat of the ID/KR script, February announcement and April making it official. All right before the start of the new fiscal year (May 1st).

>> No.89279828

>>89278794
Yup, they already tipped their hand in the Q4 report back in June. Telling the investors that they're not factoring in the branch's revenue in the company's revenue forecast was them signaling their intent to merge or close the branch at all. And the announcement at the end of October that they would be closing the US merch warehouse at the end of November was them signaling their intent to merge or close the branch SOON.
If for some reason they decide to wait until February to make the announcement, then they'll likely make the announcement specifically on either Feb 5 or Feb 12. But in any case, the day of the Q2 report (on or around Dec 12) is not gonna be a good day for the EN branch.
It might not necessarily be a BAD day, but it absolutely will not be a GOOD day.

>> No.89282751

>>89279828
They will announce at least before the fiscal quarter is up, I do think they are about set to do it at least by Q3 and it will be a merge. Any investor blindsided by this is dumb but I would assume at that point maybe someone will do something via lawsuits or etc. with Riku's mismanagement.

Im not here to talk if Elira is bad or not, that is not the point. Elira does not have anything outside of Nijisanji and she has the black stream mark on her that hurts her chances of being successful as a indie.

She needs something to make her look like the victim, perhaps creating a indie account and convincing Doki to follow it or something idk, it just has to be something to convince the people she was ether a victim or that Doki has forgiven her. If she could pull off it could work but it would be very hard to do.

Its just easier to stay in Nijisanji, even if its sinking. No matter what theory you subscribe to about the black stream she is unlikely to leave.

"Elira is evil and is a part of the clique!" She would want to stay in Nijsanji

"Elira was forced into making the black stream!" Could be manipulated or pressured into staying in Nijsanji.

"Elira regrets the black stream!" Manipulated by Nijisanji to stay in Nijisanji by using the fact "everyone hates you outside of here. why not stay here?"

All in all, i dont see Elira graduating unless if she can convince the public she was a victim or that Doki has forgiven her.

>> No.89290074

>>89289526
The dream scenario for her, and I'm not saying this is anywhere close to the truth is that she's able to evidence helping out Doki behind the scenes post-black stream. If she can say something like "I got her in touch with Kamamesigogo" then she flips the entire narrative.
