We all know of Nijiansji EN's massive recline from their golden age in 2021.
Over the years they've had various fuckups and yabs, most of their own doing.
Now the year is 2026, Anycolor has spent over a year viewbotting nearly their entire corpo, many of them being from Nijisanji EN due to their poor viewership.
However, we can see with Anycolor's recent financial report that Nijisanji EN's revenue continues to decline to pre-Luxiem levels. Clearly the strategy of botting 3views isn't working, and their irrelevance continues to grow.
What strategies would you employ to help save Nijisanji EN?
>>
>>108664166
Force Elira, Enna and Vox to graduate. Fire some token manager, apologize and rebrand to something that doesn't have the word Nijisanji.

>>108664166
It's the failed IP of a stupid trust fund baby. It's unsalvageable.
If you mean its talents' careers, the best it could do is not pitch a giant shit fit everytime someone wants to leave.

Vtuber viewership in the West is falling. So no matter how good the streamers are they won't save a branch.

This is the first right move.
Elira and Vox need to be gone. Anyone who isn't some retarded Nijishill can see all the problems somehow circle around them. Most of the branch are even pretty okay like Scarle, Aia, Vanta and Meloco.
There are people who actually deserve to thrive. But if EN wants any reform, it has to start by removing Elira and Vox.

No proof of this. On the other hand we know /#/ (holofag number general) has botted Nijisanji in the past, and at least in JP the botting extends to Holo-adjacent indies that annoy /#/.

To us there is zero fucking sense in keeping them around still but they symbolically are relevant for Anycolor's JP shareholders to believe that they have ambition and real capability to spread into overseas markets, which is good vibes for investment bait. Literally the branch is just an ornament on the shelf to look pretty and make the company look more prestigious.

Not to mention it actually was making a lot of money a few years ago. To people who actually knew their current status we could see them as dying years ago but for investors who don't watch any streams or give a fuck about any of the drama they just check in on earnings once in a while, maybe only once a year, and are willing to give a second (or third) chance expecting maybe they Anycolor can fix whatever it is causing the earnings decline. Because Riku keeps saying that's what they're gonna do and they believe him.

After enough bad years they will start to call his shit saying "dude that's what you said last year and the year before" and we are only just getting to that point now where the downward trend is locked in and Riku is obviously lying about EN's propects. And guess what, Anycolor stock is down 30% the last year.
>>
There's honestly nothing they could do, even if they did a full kneelpology and kicked out the bully clique, it's not like there are any good female streamers left. And male vtubers are always and will always be irrelevant shit with 3view limits, Luxiem was entirely a fluke thanks to fat chinks needing a replacement for kpop because of the government banning it for a while. And they left immediately after that was lifted.

Their only move is doubling down on the male vtuber boy band shit, which to their "credit" they have been doing now that they finally realized mixed gens are worthless. But it's still a bottleneck, especially with FSP growing and doing the same thing too, creating a competition (and they're also low 3views).
>>
>>108664166
The thing is their strategy of nonstop coed collabs as the main feature just doesn't actually work well for making a good gachi audience, not in the West at least.

They need basically an EN Lulu, really like ten Lulus, but the problem is you can't fucking have Lulu work in an environment like what EN does now. I mean it technically is possible to a degree considering Scarle shows it can be done, but she is very much an isolated little ethot experience and I am saying what they need are more girls like Pomu only don't squander them this time. They just aren't even expanding at all lately so there are no more chances to even get more like her, it's like asking how to move the car forward after the engine seized. And even if they did find good Holo tier girls and also convince them nijiEN was not a toxic sinking ship, people would still not wanna watch them assuming they picked Niji because they hate Holo fans and just wanted to be luxiem orbiters. The presence of bitter shitters like Enna also ruins it further, even if a girl avoids the guys, unless she just barricades herself off solo a lot of the existing Niji girls are not liked by the kind of crowd they would be looking to attract outside the fujos.

Don't worry, vspo is much worse and as soon as a dramanigger reports on them and gets their account hit with strikes by vspo people will switch to them. For people who don't know, vspo is hella dead in he west since they strike anyone who clips them and ban any porn. The whole reason niji gets the reputation in the west is because they copyright struck that doxxing faggot falseeyed, so vspo's gonna end up the new nijisanji in the next year or so when they inevitably do the same thing.

That's hololive fans. Remember you fags immediately start shitting on mel, a-chan, and the other members who leave the company the second they announce graduation. Hell, you never hear a-chans new account or rica talked about because a-chan made a video shitting on covercorp management and Mel's existence makes cover look bad. Corpo worshippers are all subhumans really, anyone who does this stupid console war shit is some fag who wants riku or yagoo or sakana etc. to peg them and don't give a fuck about the streamers at all.

"All the problems somehow circle around them"
Enna and Elira are besties IRL from even before Niji. These whores are only talking because they know Elira has influence in Niji EN and shields them. Cut her off and they are nothing. Thats every bully group and clique. They just latch onto someone who leads the charge but remove that person and all that remains are bitches who get the shitters with their main shield being gone to protect them.

That would be step two.
Step one would be to publicly acknowledge the fact that their handling of the Selen situation was not perfect. Admit that management made mistakes and is not blameless; admit that they could have done more with her reports of internal harassment than just acknowledge the fact that she had filed those complaints; admit that they shouldn't have waited until after she premiered the MV to arbitrarily decide that she's not allowed to use the likenesses of graduated livers without those livers' permission; admit that harassing her family while she was hospitalized due to a failed attempt brought on by workplace harassment was not the wisest possible course of action; admit that they erred by ghosting her when she asked to be given a quiet graduation like Yugo had gotten a year and a month earlier; and admit that they made a mistake by firing her when her lawyer sent them her request for a quiet graduation.

And that's just the stuff leading up to her termination. Step one, part two would be apologizing for the black stream. They need to admit they fucked up by allowing it to happen at all; admit they fucked up by "encouraging" the livers to retweet the announcement for the then-upcoming stream; admit they fucked up by delaying the start of the black screen to match the start of Doki's Neopets stream; admit they fucked up by intentionally misleading Ike (and very likely also Elira and Vox) with half-truths and whole lies; admit they fucked up by forcing Elira to keep it up on her channel to this very day; admit they fucked up by suspending Elira for two months because the black screen did not destroy Doki's post-Niji career.

They need to acknowledge and apologize for their malfeasance first, before any efforts to rebuild could even potentially be taken seriously. And the branch's leadership has spent the past two years proving that they would rather burn the branch to the ground and salt the earth afterwards than even consider admitting that they themselves did anything wrong.
Just straight up firing Elira, Vox, Enna, and a random manager without first apologizing for what happened will be (rightfully) seen by the entire vtuber community as being as cynical and insincere as Riku's "apology" video. If they are to be fired, they need to be fired for their own actions, not for management's actions.

....oh, and all of that is just the start of what they'd need to do to regain the western fans' trust and support.

Actual nijisisters I've examined in the wild do not believe that their branch is doing well. They don't think it is doing TERRIBLY, but they acknowledge that they lost the messaging war and recognize that NijiEN's glory days are probably behind it. For this they blame Dokibird and the west as a whole, accepting the Japanese narrative that westerners are too emotional and easily deceived.

>>108667142
One of the reasons Selen was so stressed out and melted down was because numbers were in absolute freefall already. Before she left, the Nijimales had already lost a good 80% of their viewers from the year before, amd the girls were down by more than half.
After Selen left they lost another half their audience. Then there was more bleed-off over the next year because their content was terrible. Which is unexpected because that year Nijisanji dumped millions of dollars worth of events and goodies on them. To decline even in the face of that, is remarkeable.

The problem was never Selen, the problem was the shit content they continue to put out. People don't like watching Elira collab with 5 guys, or chat about male coworkers for 70% of her stream.
>>
>>108666333
That might work, but I simply cannot see them doing any of these things, much less all of them. The closest they would do is to do what they did with VTA - fire all livers and claim "widespread misconduct" as the reason

I'd put out a fully female unicorn-friendly no male collabing gen before EN5. Have two lolis, two older teen/young adult models, one hag. Actually make shit people want. They're not going to do it though.
- Have a gen with a cohesive lore theme and outfits, e.g. let's say it's magical girl themed
- Hag would be the villain and the heel type, like if Jurard wasn't fucking insufferable and had sex appeal. Think Scarle but a bitch.
- The non-lolis would be older magical girls who have a big sister/little sister relationship with the lolis
- Lolis would be cute and have different streaming focuses that also align with their big sister. For example: a big sister who is a good artist with a loli sister who is a bad artist, but she's teaching her to draw. A big sister who is great at FPS or singing, teaching her loli little sister how to get good or sing or whatever. Tie it into their lore. Maybe the artists draw their summons to fight the villainess, whatever.
- Have regular collabs that essentially treat the hag as the villain of the week, and feature the four girls ganging up on the hag. Shit like DBD, Minecraft, anything.
No Niji males. No Niji females from the clique. No whore indies. Just CGDCT and sticking to kayfabe. No LLDs. No boyfriends. Just fucking stream shit men want to fucking watch, fuck.

Nah, it's a terrible idea to admit fault at this point and it's been far too long. Bringing it up in any capacity will just bring up more uncomfortable questions of "Okay, now they acknowledged this, but what about Zaion? What about Twisty?"

What they CAN do is acknowledge it in all but name by putting out a statement addressing the concerns without mentioning the people involved, like a statement about taking sexual harassment seriously and firing people involved, but it won't undo the damage done to the people they terminated. Unfortunately, there's no realistic way for them to do that since it's a japanese company with a neurotic fanbase and even if Riku were possessed by Jesus himself and tried to fix things, the suits would never let them acknowledge fault directly.
>>
>>108667742
If you start by seething about their numbers and cope about "muh bots" then you don't give a shit and you are a number tranny. Simple

>>108667822
So you're upset, got it.

>>108667776
>No LLDs
That will come after they inevitably graduate. Or they already made one before they became members of your hypothetical chain and will taint the experience.
>>
>>108667796
Oh there's no doubt that apologizing for their actions re: Selen would be far too little and far too late at this point, especially since (as you correctly point out) they also owe apologies to Zaion and Twisty. My point was just that firing some scapegoats without first acknowledging their own mistakes would do the company more harm than good.
To say nothing of the fact that they also owe apologies to all of the former members except Aster, and most or all current members.
>>
>>108667276
>One of the reasons Selen was so stressed out and melted down was because numbers were in absolute freefall already.
If there's one thing I know about Doki/Selen, then that's really not as big of a factor as you'd think, unless you're talking about it from the side of Niji's pressure on her increasing due to numbers.
Selen's problems were more with the harassment she was receiving from the staff/streamers and staff's incompetence than any kind of number nonsense affecting her directly.
>>
>>108668718
Can you prove this harassment happened? Also in what world is Selen not a numberfag? Do fagoons think everyone is stupid?
>>
>>108667794
Have them show their asses to doki as an apology and then let her slap their bare asses while everyone watches
>>
>>108668870
Nijisanji themselves admitted that the harassment against Selen had actually happened. They admitted it in her termination notice.
They admitted it again a week later in the black screen. The author of Elira's script felt it necessary to mention that she, Millie, and Enna all live in the same city.
>>
>>108664166
real talk, why do we even give a shit about ethically sourced vtubers? The company might a shit place to work in but who cares as long as we get entertainment out of it? Corpo hating feels like the vegans of vtubing and just an excuse for tribalism cause shitting on the other makes you feel good.
>>
>>108664505
Without real solid proof firing them will just look like a dick move. Speculation of behind the scenes dynamics from this board is a weak excuse and I think firing them based on that would make the company look even worse.
>>
>>108664166
Trust is a hard thing to earn back. I would say a majority of the casual vtuber fan base mostly think that the company has incompetent / shitty management and don't want to support a company that treats their employees so poorly. greater transparency on how the managers are helping or how projects are moving along behind the scenes would be a start. Clear communications as for why things get cut or delayed. Also create greater sense that they care about their talents by giving them opportunities or clear support. I think the en live at niji fest helped bring back some old fans who went "oh they do care." but only enough to stabilize to like year 1-2 viewership for some. They need to prove a committed stance on providing the talents with resources and opportunities to thrive but it feels like in general they have no idea how to do that when 90% of them live outside of japan.
>>
>>108669977
This industry relies on emotional attachment to the streamers themselves.
If something bad happens to the streamer you've grown attached to, people tend to take it personally.
The selen situation is easily the best example of the consequences. It wasn't just the dragoons who felt betrayed, but pretty also fans of the others who realized the people they supported weren't as moral as they thought they were.
NijiEN hasn't even come close to recovering from it over two years later.

Unlike with Selen, they didn't have enough weight to push back against the ridiculous smearing. There's zero pressure for them to do the right thing and they got away scott free for those.

Literally who cares. Sayu got rightfully fired after breaking every rule in her contract in 3 months, spent 1.5 years crying about it and sucking false's cock until she finally moved on, most of the community forgot about her already
Twisty could have had everyone's simphaty but she spit on her 10 fans and now she has 3
Selen shock was huge because she was the most liked niji by outsiders, nobody cares about the other whores

Nijisanji and Hololive isn't for management, it is to get more eyes on you right away. You're the top percentage of streamers if you have 10+ viewers, like doing better than 90~95% of all other streamers. That's still considered a small streamer.
>>
>>108673988
People forget this all the time.
The point of joining a corpo is an instant audience.
NijiEN still gets you to bare minimum 100 ccv, which is... something at least, but pre-selen shock it was instant 4view

Though in this case it's more of a can you handle the corpo life/abuse/stagnation for it?

>>108673988
>Nijisanji and Hololive isn't for management, it is to get more eyes on you right away.
Some of those viewers will turn out to be okay, but most of them will be - well, Nijisanji and Hololive viewers. Seems like a really bad trade-off to me.
>>
>>108674375
>Though in this case it's more of a can you handle the corpo life/abuse/stagnation for it?
I hope that the answer becomes "no" more and more for new streamers. Build your shit from the ground up, carefully prune the assholes from your community, and you'll wind up with a core audience of people that will follow you wherever.

On the contrary, I don't even think it's a bad thing or even a bad tradeoff in a lot of cases.
For example, NijiEN if you treat it like "part-time" supplemental income the way JP does is a pretty sweet gig. You just hit 'go live' a couple of times a month and get a few easy bucks and clout. Nearly all of the remaining NijiENs treat it this way and just don't bother with complex projects that'd require staff input.

The problem only starts when you actually have ambition, goals, and the work ethic/stubbornness to want them done. That's when the whole issue of management being minimum wage high schoolers handling far more people than they're qualified for becomes a problem.
Doki alone employs teams of tens of people to make her projects real, on top of her standing employee count of about a dozen between assistants, managers, and staff.
And she was forbidden from hiring outside help or even hiring one assistant at Nijisanji.

Suddenly, mane-san has this unpleasant western woman constantly making demands of them like "get this perm" or "approve this" or "can you contact Y" 20 times a week, rocking the boat from their cushy job where they didn't really have to do anything before. That makes people angry, so they might "forget" to approve something critical to her at the worst timing, or they might start complaining to the others like "Yeah I know you wanted to get this done but SELEN asked me for like 5 things so no."
It's pretty easy to see how shit could go off the rails because Anycolor's too cheap to hire qualified staff.

Just because they didn't get the support system that Selen had set up for herself doesn't mean that Niji didn't screw them over. If Niji apologizes for their handling of Selen and not at least Zaion then that's still a shitty apology. A victim doesn't stop deserving reparations just because you don't like her

Good post. Interesting points. Haven't thought about this as much as you have (I wrote the posts to which you responded). Thanks!
>>108677171
Bad post. Lazy. Indistinguishable from something a corpobot would write. No thanks.
>>
>>108671701
I thought Zaion got fired due to management retroactively punishing her for their shitty decisions
Also it's interesting to see how you blame the victim because it's a person you dislike. Makes you no better than a Nijisister tbdesu

why do holobros make so many anti threads about vtubers they don't like?
>>
>>108664166
they're fine. They were really only hololive level for like a year, there just isnt room in the western market for 2 big corpos. As there are more and more indies and small corpos, there are only so many eyeballs to watch them. Hololive is declining too, each gen is weaker and weaker with less people caring. A few more big graduations and they wont be in much better shape. I admire Niji for sticking to their guns and just staying in their niche.
>>
>>108664505
You dont watch them and have no idea. Vox is an asshole, sure, and is the root of most problems. The Selen thing included. But to just throw Elira in there just shows what a disingenuous faggot you are. She causes no problems, she has no yabs, she is nice to everyone, she works hard. No one has anything bad to say about her, she just stays in her lane and does her thing. She supports everyone. Because she read a 5 minute corpo script one time (to take the bullet for Vox) that invalidates her whole career? Fuck you and every other fagoon piece of shit.
>>
>>108677119
Doki should have just shut up and quit rocking the boat and ruining it for everyone. Not everyone is born to be a star, and she certainly isnt, judging by her "success" now
>>
>>108667276
This. Selen really was negligible, losing Pomu is what started everything swirling down the drain. It would have ended up the same as it is now, it just happened a bit faster
>>
>>108679095
Elira and Ren both remind me of that "but you fuck one goat..." joke.

Everything about them seems fine, nice, sure, but then they each did something completely unforgivable and that's going to define them until it's addressed.
(Elira with the black stream, Ren with WolfyChu)
Ike fell into that category too until he actually repented and apologized.
>>
>>108664166
I don't think that's possible anymore. Even if you terminate all the problematic ones (enna, millie, vox, etc) you still have to deal with the fact that the branch is providing entertainment for a market that doesn't exist
troons are a very small minority with a fundamentally different taste from the rest of the population yet your entire branch is built around them
>>
>>108664166
Keep the ones who want to stay, let go the ones who want to leave. NijiEN is in maintenance mode, as it should be. The ones who stay and want to be more involved with the JP livers are doing exactly that. The ones who don't, and mostly treat this as a low-stakes part-time job, seem to be content in that regards. I'm making assumptions out of thin air, of course.
>>
>>108679095
Elira lets her best friends Milie and Enna shit the place up. Obviously promotes them to JP so they get marketing opportunities over others more deserving. She is a cancer to the female side of NijisanjiEN.
>>
>>108677119
This. Westoid foids are the problem. That's why NijiEN is so much better now since they got rid of theirs. Meanwhile holoen is constantly in drama because the retards still employ westoids as vtubers.
>>
>>108680499
The only reason why NijisanjiEN has no drama is because they don't do anything anymore.

>>108680585
NijiEN had more 3D Lives just last year than holoen in all its existence KWAB!

this is pathetic xisters, take some responsibility for the dogshit state of nijiEN, you helped give it its current reputation after all by acting like subhumans like this

holy nijixister SEETHE, crying about holo for no reason isn't going to help revive nijiEN now that they're earning less than before luxiem debuted

I'm not even a holofag but holo derangement syndrome is real for nijisister, just like whenever selen mentioned.

>>108681135
HoloEN actually earns more from just merch in a single quarter than the entirety of nijiEN earns from all revenue sources per quarter, and if the current downward trend for niniEN's revenue continues then a single quarter of merch sales for HoloEN will outearn nijiEN's revenue for the entire fiscal year.
>>
Didn't the latest reports reveal how much of a loss having NijiEN is to the brand? At least the new boys are carrying the old has beens.
>>
>>108681268
You can't even say they're carrying.
Even with the new boys, they're back in freefall again.
>>
>>108681268
They're losing money despite adding members
>>
>>108681305
They're not losing money, they're just earning less
>>
>>108681321
This is hard to say since we know revenue, but we don't know the exact costs to run the branch.
We did however see -8 one time, which was very funny.

That said, I do agree that they're unlikely to be in the red. They are still far, far, far above the likes of NijiID, NijiIN, or NijiKR when they were dissolved.
>>
>>108681321
The main cost of NijiEN is in reputational destruction. NijiEN has effectively made Nijisanji a toxic brand on a global level, doing hundreds of millions of $$$ worth of brand destruction. It means Nijisanji has absolutely no chance at ever expanding beyond Japan like investors hoped.
Nijisanji became absolutely obsessed with trying to ressurect Elira's reputation. They put her in every single event, every single 3D, plastered her face all over billboards and posters. Every time they did that, they dug their grave deaper. Effectively doing $10's of millions of brand damage to themselves.
If they were smart they would have fired Elira immediately, but then what would be the point of NijiEN?

>>108681350
The -8 comes from the California concert. People were shitposting about Holo getting events and Niji getting nothung, so Niji rolled out a California concert as if to say 'fuck you'. However as soon as they announced it, people question how NijiEN was supposed to fill 3000 seats when none of them even got 3000 ccv.
Riku's idea was to slap Chronoir onto the billing, since in Riku's mind Chronoir = popularity. But little Riku doesn't understand that nobody outside Japan knows who the fuck Chronoir is.
Nobody bought tickets, they were forced to cancel the concert. But they still had to pay the event fee, hence the -8.
They also had 4 life-size statues made for the event. The statues of Shu and Elira made it there, but the statues of Chronoir conveniently had 'shipping problems', likely to save them from the humiliation. Pictures of the event show the Nijisanji booth totally empty, with the statue of Elira creepily standing there like a weeping angel.

>>108664166
Nuke the branch or fold it into the main one, idgaf either way
>>
>>108681612
At this point I think combining them into nijiJP will do more harm than good
>>
>>108682385
Perfect

>>108664166
Non-Japanese vtubers are trash. Foreign branches, be it Niji, Holo, or whatever, should've never happened in the first place. This is proven by the fact that the funniest "EN" vtuber is actually Meloco when she speaks Japanese.
The main branches should just assimilate the ones willing to target a Japanese audience and leave the rest with the dregs outside.
>>
>>108664166
>we
nice try niji intern but i'm not helping you tho
>>
>>108674375
Yesn't, it became an insta 3 view after Iluna dropped
>>
At the risk of sounding like a chud, I'd lime to throw the children complaining about "westoids" a bone here and say that cultural incompatibility was the fuel that burned Niji EN to the ground (with managerial incompetence being the never-ending supply of torches thrown into it). The non-EN audience flipped their shit over Nina saying "cursed" for fuck's sake. Leave them in their bubble.
>>
>>108664166
Someone from the (ex) golden 20 needs to go.
Any of them should work as a scapegoat besides maybe Finana who's the textbook definition of a doormat and probably Petra
>>
>>108665945
>Not to mention it actually was making a lot of money a few years ago.

Where have all the ppl spending boatloads of money gone? Did they switch companies or just leave the hobby entirely?
Would be quite interesting to know...
>>
>>108684301
Idiots do love their scapegoats. And it might work for a little while, at least until whatever translation LLM they're using gives them something new to complain about.
>>
>>108684324
We followed the ones who graduated to their indie debuts.
Awww, did the masses of ESL children who shot Luxiem to the top run out of allowance money? Tough break, sisters.
>>
>>108682385
they could just terminate all 30 members, rush out 30 random VTAs to replace them and chances are they would be more profitable
>>
>>108684949
They should have just treated it like Menudo from the beginning, if this cyclical cash grab from children was going to be their main business model. Once the members outgrow the capabilities of the branch, they go indie. It would be expected.
