How come not a single of these cunts has actually put enough effort to grind out the language barrier?
It takes work sure, but there's like fucking 50 of them, have really none of them ever bothered to grind out a single language?

Or am I being a turbofaggot and missing someone who actually did.

There might be some 2views that have. But most big JP viewers would understandably rather cater to their JP audience. Learning a language can be like a part time job if you want to learn and retain anything, and most don’t have that much time to dedicate

There is literally zero reason to do so.
>Have to talk with management for permissions, meetings and such
>Have to test games before streaming and with some bad ones spend time trouble shooting them to smooth out the streaming process and that still doesn't mean they won't have problems
>Has to stream
>Has to do various projects the company wants
>Dance and singing lessons
>What ever personal errands they have to do
Not only that they often get 5k+ viewers, no need to speak two languages.

So if it's so easy why don't you learn Japanese? You certainly have the time since you're posting on 4chan. That'll solve your inability to understand them.

I think it's telling that Marine studied english seriously (not duolingo but an actual teacher with conversational practice) for months in order to be more comfortable with speaking internationally

Then what happens in UMISEA?
>Marine speaks japanese the entire time
>She speaks japanese in the UMISEA Shorts and it's translated to english in the subtitles
>She speaks japanese the entire time in the UMISEA minecraft/mario party collabs
>Her english knowledge is the same bare minimum that every other Holo JP knows from school

The unique English skills of Marine that actually help her career and increase her views and likability with foreign audiences amount to "IM HORNY~!" and "BASED!!SUPRELIT!! DOPE !!" and her cute voice fumbling aka "Maringlish" and all of that comes from her normal personality/voice anyways and not any amount of english studying

Unironically some of the Holostar guys learned to improve their english, by rather impressive amounts (compared to what you're used to from the average japanese).
Sure, they're not native level, but could probably hang with a EN collab conversation better than most of the female HoloJPs who were supposed to "learn english" (and then never actually did seriously anyway).

I don't even watch much anime, read manga or like that NEET shithole pretending to be an actual country that much.

Some of the HoloJPs (and not JUST "unsucessful" ones, where you'd rationalize it like this) really did some english learning, either onstream (duolingo etc., EOP-pandering interaction like "hey guys...", "sexy overseas..." etc.) or offstream (mentioned taking/wanting english classes).

But that was all awhile ago, and nothing really came of it.
Whether it was just a cynical ploy to pander for EOP views (and dropped as soon as it was unnecessary /became inconvenient), or some impulse reaction from the success of EN (some Holos mentioned wanting to "get fit for EN collabs", but as soon as they realized 3 out of the 5 Myth girls could speak varying degrees of japanese anyway, and from the other two the blue one doesn't collab much anyway and you can have your Apex-collab with the detective one in broken gaga-googoo speak at least, they dropped that motivation/excuse again), or they really earnestly wanted to learn english but just gave up because they were too busy at best or too lazy/dumb at worst, is anybodys guess.

Kek. There are MANY more English speakers than Japanese but you'd need English speaking weebs so that instantly makes it a niche market, then you need ones that want to see anime avatars stream. Then you have the fact that they live in JAPAN thus their schedules will naturally be geared towards there than NA. It is usually 2/5AM when the earliest JP is on (depending if you're on the east or west coast).

It's why having EN branches make sense.

There's no actual reason for them to learn English. Fubuki and a bunch of other OG holos were learning Chinese for the longest time. They could greet and say simple sentences and everything. Then in less than a single cour anime they lost it all and their reason to continue the language. The same will happen with English like all you stupid faggots that unsubscribed when Fubuki mentioned she was a furry. One little mistake and all of you will abandon your oshi.

USA often has foreign language as a three year requirement. Unless the kids parent speaks another language or they already knew another language before coming to the USA then they still have little to no proficiency with that language. It literally amounts to "Yo quiero una cerveza". I don't know how long foreign language courses are in Europe.

One year is Jack shit, and there is very little incentive to hop onto a new language when chance are it'll take them five years to really communicate in what ever broken manner they can. Only people that immerse themselves in it like Subaru will have any gains because it is part of her interests with movies and comics. Language is something that needs to be constantly reinforced and brute forced for the super majority of the people. Outliers aren't the rule.

Tenma considerably imrpoved at English over his 2 months of daily study. Ollie considerably improved in Japanese since her debut. Pizza Papa learned a fair bit of English but he was already in the top tiers of understanding (not necessarily speaking). Towa speaks some Korean due to Bora but I don't know Korean to be able to register her improvement or fluency. Marine mentioned lessons but I really haven't noticed that much improvement. That's essentially it I think, unless I'm forgetting anyone. The rest (whether ok at English or Japanese) are essentially the same level as at their debut & basically just learned a few new slang from chat by osmosis at most.
