Everyone assumed that she was a lock for Vshojo when she graduated, yet here we months later.

Is it possible that she isn't going to Vshojo and is actually quitting vtubing altogether or is she going to Hololive ID?

Well for one she seemed to indicate she doesn't have a clue what she'll do after Niji prior to graduating. Often this sort of talk is smoke and mirrors, but Mika being Mika it's perfectly possible she actually DID go into this "no thoughts, head empty" so to speak. that does put a question mark on if she wants to continue to stream or not, although her guest appearances in streams of others are at least a small positive sign.
That aside, another likely reason for absence - if we assume she plans on reappearing - is model wait. It doesn't look like she intends to touch her pre-NijiPL, and she only has been gone for what, three and a half months? The absolute shortest turnaround on a model I can remember seeing was about four and a half. If she didn't put an order for one prior to graduation, or did so only shortly before it, she might be still waiting.
Last possibility - she might ACTUALLY be waiting out the 6 month non-compete. Yeah, I know the lawyers keep saying those things are nigh unenforceable, and how Nina and Kuro basically ignored theirs, but Mika when graduating gave off impression that EN rules might not be ID rules, so it's within realm of possibility she doesn't want to take her chances and will let that timer tick down.
All that being said Vshojo is teasing SOMETHING right now, it's likely that something is a new member, so it's perfectly possible all this will be moot by the end of the week.

Are you suggesting she should try for HoloEN or what? Going indie or Vshojo? She being ID means she can apply to HoloID which is her advantage, if she isn't ID the she has to apply to EN which is way harder to pass the audition, the goal is to be part of Hololive no matter the branch, if you're a serious vtuber with goals then always go to Hololive, only Hololive have actual huge networking and potential as a brand, even if you're not among the most popular you will still get plenty just by being part of Hololive

Yes, going indie is fine and going VShojo is even better. She's got 2 extremely close friends there from her Niji days already (Mata and Kuro) while also being friends with Geega, Zen, Haruka, and Froot. VShojo also doesn't have any Indo streamers at the moment aside from Kuro, but that's supposed to only be temporary so that'd be a first for them in a pretty big market. And the very few stream appearances she's made since graduation were mostly from a trip to Japan she took with Matara.

Nothing specific actually, it's mainly about financial security and potential if you're serious to make vtuber as your only job, being in Hololive means at worst you will still making enough money to not need a second job and in term of infrastructures,networking then no other place has higher potential than Hololive, so if she isn't popular she still got enough money esp for someone from ID or she could get lucky become a big hit like Kobo for example then you have all the infrastructures and networking that you need to maximize your potential

You're under an assumption that she will be as popular as whoever this Sinder you're talking about, you're forgetting every other indies than need to get a second job, that's not secure or stable job, the point is if you managed to join Hololive then you got that "security" that make you at least won't need a second job even if you're the least popular in Hololive

This is a very 2020 mindset. The entire vtubing medium doesn’t revolve around Hololive and hasn’t for a while.

I'm arguing that hololive fans are not the greatest, healthiest fanbase for your mental health, no matter what you think of any other corporation's fanbases. Some vtubers don't want fans that paint them into corners, maybe some vtubers do want to have intergender collabs, which are all but impossible in hololive. Can you do a little self reflection and acknowledge why hololive fans would be a turn off to a prospective vtuber?

Lmao @ you guys thinking that she would fit into Holo ID just because she had good numbers.

Let me tell you that Holo ID is now in a stagnation. Just as Kobo failed to maintain her huge fanbase, most of ID boom that happened in 2022 have left the Holo ID fanbase altogether, most likely because she does too many collabs with Holostars. The other IDs have already been stagnated at the same time as EN market oversaturation because they pander too much to EN fanbase. Only Kaela has seen some growth but that's because she's currently leeching Bijou, it will fade soon enough just like Moona.

What if Mika join the Holo ID? That would be bad for Holo ID. Mika is going to be just another EN-pandering member, while she might make some good money in short term, she will end up just like most of her senpais. That's not a good thing for corporate like Hololive, they need growth.
What ID4 needs is another Kobo, local-pandering vtubers who can ensure growth of the local fanbase because Indonesia is a growing economy, it will become valuable sometime in the future.

Let me tell you that even if Holo ID is stagnated, that's not the case with the ID market. Some indies are growing and have more ccv than Holo IDs, and some new smaller corpos can capture the fujo market untouched by Hololive.
Pretty sure that's why ID4 isn't here yet, Yagoo wants more Kobo but no one is good enough. There are plenty of candidates if he's okay with another EN-pandering vtubers like Mika, but no he wants another Kobo.

Basically the big assumption is: she's working on a redebut. She's big enough to sustain herself, she's got an audience eager to see her back, and she enjoys streaming. The only question is when and where. VShojo's been teasing SOMETHING and it's entirely possible that these teases are going to end with Mika resurfacing in VShojo. Given that VShojo teasing new members tend to debut 1 week after the initial tease my assumption right now is we'll see a third teaser on Wednesday, and that will give us a date for the actual debut on Saturday.

As for if it's going to be Mika? I mean, it certainly seems possible. Scheduling her debut to take place on 4/20 is absolutely something she would do for a meme, and there's little reason to think it's Doki or Mint I'd give Mint until the end of Summer, though. There's also some other interesting details. One of Mika's biggest fanartists was a guy who went by Radish, and Matara has consistently kept him close to her since her debut. Radish also seems to be in touch with Mika to some degree and implied he knows that she's going to come back, but said nothing else. And the big kicker is that Kuro's been practicing chess recently on stream, and he has like 3 friends added on Chess.com. One of them is a mysterious person who lives in Indonesia who happens to have a name similar to Mika's PL. This Indonesian who's Kuro's friend also just so happens to be friends with Gunrun of all people.

anyway tl;dr: It's very possible we'll see Mika debut in VShojo by the end of the week, but not guaranteed.

Not that I know of, though she did mention dealing with an autoimmune thing that's worsening her stamina. That's why she did the charity marathon while she still could.

Some said that 9 are already perfect, so how many more you'd think be enough for ID to build their holobox?

>Kobo failed to maintain her huge fanbase
early Kobo was able to attract a significant amount of normies thanks to the Motogp rain shaman meme but she filtered them by going foul mouthed like Manca/Milyhya
a seiso Kobo would be an unstoppable force
sometime people forget that Indonesians in general are more conservative than westerners.

Mika would be another foul mouthed HoloID girl with limited appeal (westernized indonesians and foreigners)

That's part of her charm. You haven't truly watched Mika until you lived through at least one stream where chat ttirs to explain elementary concepts to her.

Vshojo doesn't produce models or dictates what design the talent should have. They have indie models.

This seems to be what a fan is working on for her, if she doesn't secretly have something else in mind.

Mika did have that cutesy dress design that she used in the final days before graduation. Maybe that's more her actual vibe compared to the first company-mandated design
