There's more Japanese proficiency in this group than English proficiency in the entirety of HoloJP put together.
How are the JOPs not embarrassed?

EN Hololives benefit more from speaking Japanese than JP vtubers benefit from speaking English, the market over there is larger. I don't think Cover considers English proficiency an important plus, I could be wrong though.

Vtubing is and always be a Japanese dominated industry. ENshitters need to learn Japanese to access better opportunies. JP members get next to nothing from learning English.

No, it isn't actually true, reddit.
If you watch one anime series per season you are already exposed to more Japanese than the average Japanese person is exposed to English in their daily life. Almost all foreign media they have is dubbed.

It's actually hilarious how awful Japanese are at english.

Why the fuck would JPs want to appeal to the English when they get better numbers, engagement, and brand deals just by staying within their territory and being known overseas by having some SEA dudes slave away their lives to translate some clips with some clickbaity titles?
