Listen to her original announcement. She's coming back. She just doesn't want obnoxious beggars and keyfabe breakers talking about her life as though they know it better than her. Probably what she's saying here just means she hasn't decided anything yet, so just shut up and wait.

the state of NijiEN is, but her saying she’d wanted to graduate a year prior seems like she really won’t re-enter the field. That very statement could be more misdirection, but there certainly was enough to cause menhera before even 2023 passed.

It's clear she's coming back. But which company she joins will depend on if she actually goes back to school.

If she doesn't actually take classes, she's a lock for Vshojo.
If she takes classes, she'll get into hololive since she'll have at least a year of down time waiting for Gen 4 to debut.

Explain why, Nijisisters are crippled, Pomu woul gladly tow the GCDCT line in order to pursue her dream as an idol and she and Kiara would be na unstoppable pair.
Plus, no thanks to Mori's ineptitude, HoloEN has the perms to Metal Gear.

Join holo
Just fucking do it, that is where she has always belonged. Join Holo.
She will make more money in 1 year than she made in her entire Niji career. She will set herself up for retirement and never have to work again. She will be around some likeminded girls and be the idol of her dreams.

I believe she can do it. Don't settle for Vshojo, join Holo instead

[Anonymous No.]

>>66359602
>Explain why
After Luna, there has been no other Niji's that have been hired by Yagoo and give them a better life. That leads me to believe (I'm sure others will say the same if they give a shit about this thread) that Yagoo and the current head of Niji have come to an agreement that they will never hired ex talents from eachother.

And honestly speaking, how long is Pomu willing to wait for EN4 (when it ever restarts back up) before she becomes irrelevant? She's better joining a company where she has a lot of friends (plus her oshi according to some anons) instead of waiting god knows how long to join EN4.

And before you say "so you have no proof. I accept your concession", why don't you go through the archives on the reason why Hololive will never accept another Niji in their ranks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>66359764
Also forgot to add, fans (if they can be called that) genuinely don't want Pomu joining because they don't want something that use to fawn over Luca. But they forget that Luna herself is "used goods" because she was originally a member of Niji.

[Anonymous No.]

>>66357632
I don't want her to come back.
I hope she invested a good portion of her earnings and never has to toil for a living again.
She can go and enjoy a free life, maybe find someone special to share it with and perhaps even have her own young to raise with them.
But only if it's up to her. She earned her freedom and deserves to live life her way.

The second she gets in, all of that will be forgotten. Also keep in mind most holofans are not schizo parodies of a unicorn, even if /here/ antis her forever and posts Luca cuck fantasies at her fans, 99% of her audience will never notice.
I don't even say that because I want her to go to Holo. I'm a vshojofan and want her to go there. But even I know she would do fine in Holo, just like everybody else that did male collabs or other roommate stuff before joining.

Now I actually feel bad about my earlier posts now. I was actually expecting you to be like all those other "faggots" yet you surprised me with a sensible and mature reply.

I'll admit I "cannot" explain why Pomu will never be in hololive. All I can squawk is what anons on here have said that Luna is the "only" used goods yagoo has accepted into Hololive and from then on, no one else has been accepted. I will seriously consider (although I doubt it still) stop going on 4chan altogether is Pomu can wait long enough to get accepted into Hololive.

Again I apologise for my terrible behaviour earlier.

[Anonymous No.]

The problem with hololive is there is a new gen every year. If they already have a lineup for 2024 (they usually have a lineup 6 to 4 months in advance) then you're waiting at least a year.

Most of those will be forgotten. Some will stick no matter what. There would definitely be mixed opinions about this at first.
But the bigger problem is actually on niji side. When Luna joined Hololive she got lots of hate from nijiniggers. Nijiniggers are well know for harassing people that make their company look bad and moving to their biggest rival will definitely not be well accepted.
If Pomu joins HoloEN her first few months will be basically like walking on eggshells.

Assuming that this

is actually a reference to Pomu (many people believe it's Mika), even there Matara say "I will try to get her /in/". Try. There's no deal to move to VShojo, even if believe this narrative, but maybe Matara will try. The most straightforward explanation is simply that Pomu is telling the truth, she has no plans beyond getting a bit of education, and will make a decision about redebut at a later date.

She says she's going back to school, and she has no reason to lie about it. So its safe to take her on face value. But unless she buries herself under fulltime coursework, she will have time to continue as a vtuber and she is not dumb enough to throw away her meal ticket over Anykara being black.

Pretty obvious she's applying to Hololive and for the year they take to do the whole audition and new gen debut process she is going back to school to earn a degree and get better at Japanese

[Anonymous No.]

>>66363265
There's reasons to believe it. Pomu is an idolfag, it may be that her dream is to have a big sololive in front of a crowd with all her biggest fans cheering for her. A lot of vtubers are like that, they don't give a shit about streaming and see it as beneath them, they want to be a real star.
Then again, there's reasons to not believe it too, Holo doesn't always give the members what they want and even if they do it takes years of grinding. Plus it's not like she can't get a concert in VShojo or as an indie, she just has to pay out of pocket and it won't be as big.

[Anonymous No.]

Nobody in their right mind is going to throw away their main source of income at a relatively easy entertainment job to retool with a cert and become a wagie again. Flesh idols do stuff like that because they get expelled from the industry after getting too old, but that's not how vtubing works (look at the hag love on this board). At any point she could have said she's fully retiring and she hasn't, and she's only described school as a limited venture. That might sound like cope, but something about all of this doesn't add up, and that indicates to me that she isn't being wholly open or truthful about what she's saying, maybe for contract reasons.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>66363428
It's safe to assume anything a vtuber says while under the Nijisanji name is mostly exaggerated truths, toxic positivity or just an outright lies. (See Zaion having to lie multiple times)
Not through a fault of their own but because of contractual reasons and company culture.
For all we know, the staff could have told her "your fans are speculating that you're going to a competitor. Please tell them something to make them stop as it harms our brand image" or some shit like that.

[Anonymous No.]

She'll return for sure, because this >>66362714 and this >>66363428. As for why she told not to speculate about her future, first for the obvious reason not to harm the company she's still in, second, it's like with "limited edition" stuff, when you know you won't be able to access it any time in the future, you're more prone to spend money on it at the moment, in this case give donations/buy merch before graduation.

She wishes she could do more music and stand on a stage and all that, but NijiEN made that virtually impossible right from the start.

Pretty sure it's going to be vShojo, but only because it's FAR easier and a guaranteed thing vs applying to Hololive and waiting half a year only to be turned down.
If she had the pick and could start at either of them the day after her graduation she abso-fucking-lutely would go with Hololive, it aligns far more with what her goals appear to be.

it's really not any more complicated than that. friendships don't matter, it's a matter of time. pomu is too big to apply to hololive, in the time the auditions and debut would take she could make shitloads of money as an indie already, she doesn't need the holo boost to have an audience like your average 2-3view

Everything you said is correct, so I think she's at the very least going to commission a new model and come back as an indie if not debut directly into VShojo. It's still the most likely option even if she btfo'd vshojobeggars. Maybe she will also apply to Holo and go through the auditions in 2025 but she's not going to sit on her hands for a year plus and fade into irrelevance without a guarantee, which it's really really unlikely they would ever give.

If you want to push for music and invest time and effort into it you can push it a lot further than just those couple "mandatory" events.
Most Holos just don't really want to focus on music, they do it because it's expected of them. On the flip side you have girls like Watame that had 16 orisongs in 2023 and got at least half a dozen 3D lives ontop of all their guest appearances.

It was six songs within a year actually but yeah, absolutely zero came out of it.

I dont think you get it, anon. The girl wants to be an idol, she wants 3D concerts, she wants to release songs and not wait a year for a message from mane-san and she wants 3D concerts.
Cover is seeing how their biggest competitor in the EN chuuba scene is accelerating down and they can get one of the biggest EN chuubas like Pomu who fits like a glove for essentially free. I don't think Yagoo will honor any imaginary "gentlemen's agreement" if he can make Cover even bigger.

Kiara bitched because she can't just say "I want a 3D live" and the company bends over backwards to make it happen for her next month. Take Bae if you want an example from EN that does her prep work and how often she shows up in main channel and 3D stuff.
Kiara quite literally said she tried to book slots for a birthday 3D live "3 months in advance" and tried to act like that should be more than enough time - spoilers, it's not. To bring back the Watame example she already had her studio time for the entirety of 2024 booked by Oct 2023. Everyone wants to do 3d stuff so you need to sign on early and stay actively pushing and advocating for your projects, you can't just let it slide and expect management do plan stuff for you.

And those arent even 3D lives with concert tickets like the one Watame has. That's the one she said she's never gonna get.

[Anonymous No.]

>>66367258
She can do all of that in VShojo, it just won't be as big or as nice. It's really a question of how big her ego is.
You're also overestimating how much Holo needs her, any of the billions of 2views that apply "fit like a glove" too, if Pomu really is aiming to be the biggest idol ever she needs Holo a lot more than Holo needs her.

>even 3D lives with concert tickets like the one Watame has
You can count the physical solo lives that have ever happened within Hololive on your fingers. They require a shitload of investment from the talent, Cover, sponsorships, etc. Even Suisei has only had 1 so far, Watame is the first to get a 2nd one end of this month. Those are very special and not what the discussion here is about at all. If Kiara wants one of those she'd have to push music as her main goal way fucking harder, make herself available to Japan, network a LOT more, and just in general VASTLY increase her popularity. It's not just up to Cover staff - no venue and sponsors are going to take her right now.

Isn't Maria not part of Golden 20? I'm so confused at nijifags, how is that not successful at all? Rose tinted glasses perhaps? Focusing only on Luxiem when the 3 gens before weren't exactly as big before their lightning in the bottle moment that raised all tides? And let's be honest, it's Luxiem and Ethyria particularly Enna as well who sank the ship and destroyed Niji beyond repair as well, it's not the fault of later gens right?

Bae is also literally moving to Japan on top of it. I'd bet out of her vs IRyS, Bae is the one who's more ambitious into doing something like a solo concert or making songs, IRyS is too passive in comparison just like almost all holomems

People have skewed standards.
They look at Hololive and the absolute top of indies, vShojo, etc, and comparing everyone against them.
Cracking 1k CCV is by any means very successful, but when you compare it to any random 50k CCV Marine stream it suddenly looks pitiful.

Isn't it up to par that arguably, the biggest company in the world should be able to compete with Hololive? Indies and Small Corpos should NOT be the comparison against Niji, it's embarrassing for Niji, it's why Phase is so appealing to normies and shitposters here are emboldened to shitpost harder now that there's a possibility that what they're saying is possible, as in Phase is competing with NijiEN

I don't know how many times Pomu needs to say that she would never want to be an idol. She loves idol culture but she wants to be in the crowd holding pen lights and shouting, not on the stage.

[Anonymous No.]

>>66371505
If you watched her at all you should know that she'd absolutely love to be an idol herself but is very insecure about her singing/dancing and doesn't think she can hack it.
She's scared of not living up to her own standards.
If she can overcome that and has the support of a fanbase that motivates and reassures her she'd absolutely give it a try.

I'm 100% sure people bigger than Pomu applied to hololive and they rejected her. She is big for niji yes but her live numbers are pretty tiny for holoEN.
And I don't think Kiara has any actual sway. Pomu isn't her only friend in the world mate. I'm also certain kiara's friend applied for holo and get rejected.

It's true she loves wota culture, but you're forgetting pieces. Namely how she already auditioned for and was accepted into an idol group when she was staying in Japan, got cold feet and turned them down. Her whole tune since getting back from Antarctica has been not having regrets about missed opportunities anymore.

Hololive doesn't need to poach low 4view CCV vtubers from competition because Hololive turns any small diamond in the rough into a mid 4view overnight in EN.
It's all about a good fit for what they're going for.
Now I'm not saying Pomu will or won't get in, but let's not pretend Cover gives a shit about her numbers, they don't. They've hired people way more famous than she is, and they've hired people way, way more obscure. They've almost certainly turned down much bigger names to hire tiny 2views.

I think the important part is also loyalty to some degree.
Like Hololive probably doesn't even WANT to poach any very established and experienced people that could easily make it on their own, they want girls that are in there for the long run and are probably (rightfully so) concerned about talents just using them as a boost before jumping ship again.

It's less than she "didn't admit" something as that she implied the Twitter speculation was wrong and explicitly said she has no plans to go to another agency after graduating. I guess Niji could have made her say that, but I doubt it, especially in the context it came up in.

[Anonymous No.]

If she is going to resume activities right away, then Vshojo makes the most sense, but if she's actually going to be a full-time student for a while, then I think that IDOL or even Phase are more likely.

Most likely yeah. She already has her bachelors so if she goes back she'll probably be going for a masters.
Workload is a lot less, and is a lot more lenient to going to school part time. Pomu can very easily do fulltime vtubing and go to school part time.

She's gonna need income if she's going to school and like hell she'd want to go back to wage slavery.

If she were in Hololive, she'd have a bunch of stuff that she HAS to do that would make it more difficult to keep a work-life-school balance.

VShojo is completely hands-off, she'd be able to do as much or as little as she wants/needs.
Also, absolutely none of the Japanese corpo autism that is literally the reason she's leaving Nijisanji.

Kuro and Matara were both approached by VShojo after having already decided and begun preparing to resurface as indies.
Which makes sense, they can't exactly be whispering in competitors' talents' ears while they're still employed.

And from what we know, new members generally have to have a current member(s) vouch for them. Geega said she had multiple people in VShojo pushing for her to get in, for example.

So if Mata wants to fight for Mika and/or Pomu to get in, well, I'd say the chances are pretty high given they both have multiple friends in VShojo who will push for them too.

No mentions of projects there at all. Just thinking about "uncertain future plans", which is a big red flag when multiple other members of NijiEN have been talking about " big things cooking" and fans "eating good" during the first half of the year.
But that's not even the biggest tell. It started months before that. If you watched her, you would know.

[Anonymous No.]

>>66382293
What she specifically says is "I've been thinking a lot about future plans". No one but a schizo could interpret "future plans" to mean "graduation", it's just reading more into the text than is actually there even though it happens to be the correct interpretation, and plenty of people, including real fans, interpreted it to mean "I've got projects for 2024".
I don't think anyone knows what Pomu's doing next. Assuming she's not a liar, even Pomu doesn't know what she's doing next. We'll just have to wait and find out.

The first second I read this letter, I started to worry if she wants to graduate. There are a lot of "unsure" "thinking a lot about future plans" in the letter and I felt that she would only say those because she planned to leave her comfort zone. But, yes, most pomudachis were thinking it as new project plans, so I thought I was wrong. I literally told my friend that day if she would graduate, she'd better reincarnate soon because I would miss her.
