I repeat. Rof-Mao is deadKenmochi Toya will not continue working as a Rof-Mao member and as a result the group will be put into indefinite hiatusOne of Anycolor's most successful male band has halted their operation
What brought about these events?
>>112159818>ROF-MAOmore like ROFL-LMAO
>>112159818Didn't Niji fuck over Chihiro for them or something? I vaguely remember something to that effect. Also, was this the group that told new streamers to just buy bots?
Watamage drops instant punishment for the sisters fanning the flames of the Gakuen Idolm@ster collab. Brutal.
they never learn
>>112159818In Hololive terms, Fubuki separated herself from HoloGamers and so Holo Gamers activities will halt
>>112159818>I repeat. Rof-Mao is deadThis is literally the first time I've ever heard of them.
>>112159818rip bozo graduation soon
>>112159923Based
>>112160303holodrones never gonna beat the allegation huh
>>112160030oh damn that's pretty serious
>>112159886>>112159818It has been almost 5 years. He just got tired of playing the idol game and now only wants to stream and have fun with his lolis.
>>112160572I respect it, a man does need his lolis, after all.
>>112159818It really goes to show how little presence Niji JP has in the EN world that I have no idea who this is.
>>112159818Peanuts-kun finally won
>>112159923>Still thinks nijisisters were involvedIm@sfags probably don't even know what a Niji even is, and if they did would've assumed them to be whores because their most prominent members are men.
>>112160482Why watch an inferior products when there's Hololive?
>>112160718They make up for it in album sales and concert sellouts. Regardless its going to be a big farewell stream. Probably Niji will shift their focus on their other big units like VOLTACTION, 3SKM, and VACHSS. Wish Niji build that bridge to ENs more tho.
>>112159923"You shouldn't blame me! This is sisters's dream, sisters's desire, sisters's destiny! To be the strongest, to go the farthest, to climb the highest! To compete, to envy, to hate each other, and to devour Hololive! Do you think you can change whats going to happen? Nobody can do anything about it. The whirlpool of hatred is engulfing the Vtuber universe! Why torment yourself saying, 'Eventually, someday?' How long have you been fighting with your thoughts clouded by that brand of sweet potato ship? This world of insatiable desires will end!"
>>112159898We share the same braincell anon.I literally read it as ROFL-LMAO before noticing the correct reading.
For the sake of comparison, the nuclear announcement in Feb 2024 was "Selen is fired," and NOT "Selen is fired and her wavemates are going on indefinite hiatus."Something really, REALLY bad must be happening in Niji (or "just" Niji JP) for the second biggest group in the company to effectively go extinct just because one member is retiring. It's either damage control for something horrific which has already happened, and is so bad that the suits think that nuking the Silver Boys en masse is the least bad way for the company to resolve the problem; or it's bracing for impact for something horrific which is about to happen.
>>112161437Wait. Re-reading the thing.Is the whole group retiring from Niji as a whole.What the fuck?
>>112161437No one is going on hiatus, the group is separate from their solo and debut waves
>>112161548>>112161437the absolute state of EOPs
>>112161548ROF-MAO was a 4 person group. One of the members is quitting the "band" so the band is under haitus (likely to discuss whether they will continue as a 3 person group, add a new member or rebrand as a new band).
OHNONONONONOONONO AIEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>112161548No, they are just stopping their group activities. They'll continue streaming solo.
Nornis still continue with one graduation while a group like Trinity got canned despite all members still being around streaming like normal, anything can happen in Niji
>>112161638....so is there some reason why they needed to wait until now to begin those discussions? Did they only find out that Toya is leaving when the general public did?
>>112161725Who said they're starting now? They're still thinking about it but haven't made a decision yet, hence why the group is on hiatus.
>>112161725No? The announcement video on rofmao's channel said it has been planned since the last year. Kenmochi's not graduating, and he has his own 20k capacity live this october. He's just not part of rofmao anymore.
>>112160938They won't because there's no real incentive their en market is so dead that rofmao's lifetime sales and royalties is probably twice or more than that of their EN branch lifetime royalties, like what others pointed out NijiEN is the backwater of the mainshow made to showcase the real show aka NijiJP and its affiliated units
>>112160938>Wish Niji build that bridge to ENs more tho.Nah, I'm good. They can be successful all they want in Japan.
>>112160938hell no. we already have to deal with an oddly active korean and thai fanbase that popped up recently due to x auto translate. I'll do everything in my power to prevent eops from discovering wakatejoshi.
>>112159923qrd?
>>112159818Kenmochi is on hiatus? That sucks, one of the few male VTubers I actually like.
>>112163620He remains active
>>112163691wait, so basically one dude doesn't wanna work with the other 3 anymore? That's all this is announcing? Fucking weird
>>112165804Pretty much. Not doing what he doesn't like has always been his stance. The group is probably taking too much of his time or he doesn't find it fun anymore so he ditched it, as his fan I don't really care but the fans of the other guys, especially the younger female ones, are probably pretty mad.
>>112160845This year is the year Kenmochi reciprocates
>>112165804It’s like when one of the members in a band leaves their instrument role. It’s not about quitting the company or anything like that.Kenmochi Toya has long been openly opposed to idol-style activities, and he’s remained consistent about that stance. (He’s even so strict about it that he doesn’t participate in ROF-MAO’s oshinoko idol cover songs.)As long as he continues to stick to that position, it naturally limits both the range of activities available to ROF-MAO and to himself, so he stepped away from it. That’s really all there is to it.
>>112160845The past cannot be erased or rewritten
>>112160938Niji en is dead
Kenmochi was carrying that shit, no wonder they would can the entire thing after he quits, it would save them the embarrassment or trying to make it work without him.
>>112159818who
>>112159914>Also, was this the group that told new streamers to just buy bots?no that was some purple homo, not this one
>>112163445one of the shit stirrers is a yume nijisister
