HoloEN did wonders for the JP branch, even the ones with the biggest language barrier due to the nature of their streams like Subaru or Mio started getting clips out of nowhere. The same thing happened with TMSK getting a huge boost thanks to Pika bringing in both audiences.
If they're smart they'll want a good entry point when EN debuts, the perfect timing should have been doing it once the announcement dropped or wait for the actual debut but anytime before that is fine I guess.

It depends on what you mean by support. They still give costumes, brushups, don't ban any collabs at all, and keep constant communication, such as asking JP or other publishers for permission to play games. As usual with the JP branch though, sponsorships and events are divided into whether a JP company wants to sponsor something, or whether the individual member themselves networks for it.

Simply advertising the overseas branch over to the JP audience defeats the purpose of having an overseas branch in the first place no?

They don't go for bad picks, they just don't always go for sure hits. Unless it's a group that debuted due to their connections, they usually like to put a mix of inexperienced/amateurs and those who have a history already.

Anyone who wants to be the most popular in EN to rake in the cash would prefer a spot in Holo. But especially if you're confident, there's no reason not to apply there instead because it's as simple as if they see you have a strong track record, you're basically in. On the other hand, if you're an indie who just started for a few weeks, or you want a lottery ticket, you might as well apply to Niji since god knows how they decide to pick nearly complete newbies over experienced streamers.

>>1201011
Holostars EN doesn't exist, so there's an entire pool of talent that pretty much goes to Nijisanji uncontested. For the rest, we don't know. The Hololive brand in the west at this point means automatic easy money, so gen 2 auditions could just turn into a shitshow of high profile hacks.

I don't want them to rush but NijiEN will be serious trouble if it debuts after HoloEN2.

That would put them uncomfortably close to a Holo EN 2 debut.
Guesstimates being anywhere from June to September for debut.
Holo's vsinger will probably debut around the same time as Niji EN as well.

>Holostars EN doesn't exist, so there's an entire pool of talent that pretty much goes to Nijisanji uncontested.
This is the way to go. Male EN chuubas have potential and there is no competition for them.

Either they score the first successful western male vtuber or they end up lagging behind everyone.
I wonder how many guys they will debut.

>> No.1203587

Does Niji have any collab bans like they do with new Holo gens? Or would NijiEN be able to collab with anybody right from the start.

>> No.1203613

>>1203587
They don't have a collab ban.
Their choices are pretty limited though since I doubt EN management will let Holo EN girls near them for at least a month.

I think they should go with 2 girls and 2-3 guys and if they get traction they should quickly start auditions for gen 2.

I meant the company. They aren't as crazy about it as Hololive, although Ichikara still puts some efforts, even more compared to the other agencies like 774, re:act and so on that don't have english accounts and overseas branches.

Vtuber's expanding overseas is still a relatively new phenomena, Cover just got super lucky and got exposure early on and was smart enough to ride the wave with a high spec EN branch.

Because they also need to advertise NijiEn to the Japanese, like Cover advertised HoloEN to Jp.

Why wouldn't you hype up a new branch to your JP fans at your largest event of the year?
Hololive EN has a pretty sizable JP fan base as well, it's not just westerners.
Hololive had Coco who kept building up demand for an EN branch for months, their festival was in January which was way before Hololive really started taking off in the west.

Like >>1187917 said, I think it's too late for Ichikara. The EN market is already saturated. You need to be Hololive or Uto to get our attention.
They should've gone for ES and RU markets.

I'd imagine investors would be pissed if they didn't at least attempt an EN branch seeing the success Hololive got.

Russian market is comparable in size to Indonesia. It's won't make a huge difference.

Yeah, the male Vtubers is the way to go.
Talented women will prefer to join Hololive than Nijisanji.
Talented men only have Nijisanji as option. Besides, the most successful JP Nijisanji livers are all men anyways.

I mean its not like NijiEN/Global is some major secret, but if I had to guess they're probably just expecting it to be supplemental to the JP branch like ID is, they've only just got past the audition phase in January due to a mid-December holiday break and currently screening/training applicants, or they're waiting for a better time to tease NijiEN than at NijiFES where barely any EOPs are watching.
This is just a theory I've cooked up in my head, but my guess is that with them screening translators for their official channel on Feb 15

Ichikara wants to rollout a steady stream of content to hopefully build up Nijisanji EN on the YT algorithm, introduce newbie EOPs to this Japan giant that they've probably never heard about, and hopefully have a much greater chance of success when the ENs finally debut.

Nijisanji already has a EN clip channel that has been putting out content for months
