>>79392792>>79337517To my knowledge, Rakuten only ships inside JP, So yeah there's no point.
Though that does make for some interesting rrats however, especially with recent activities. If Anycolor has already been in the process of shuttering the doors of NijiEN since let's say the beginning of May (or maybe even April), could this merch deal be not only a cash grab, but perhaps them using the sales numbers to decide who to push from the EN branch when it folds in?
It could also foreshadow future departures, or at least people not leaving soon after if the branch does shut down. Out of the NijiEN members (with the exception of Denauth) missing, we don't have:
>Rosemi>Scarle, Aia and Aster>Hex and Meloco>Kunai and ViviInterestingly, 7 of the 30 slots were taken by NijiJP instead. Granted, we'd still be above 1 in this scenario if we replaced them with who I listed. But it's possible that someone of that 8 could be a exception. Meloco is my current guess, her growth eclipses the rest of EN combined.
Furthermore, we've seen some of the talents mentioned have went on break (Rosemi and Aster) or have been noticeably active on their PLs as of late (Kunai and VV are obvious, Hex as well I believe at least when the NBA announcement dropped.) the other two are harder to find clues since the announcement, but Aia did interestingly post picrel the day of it. The only potential clue I have for Scarle is that she seems to not be in any future events, but she's historically seems to just keep to her own walled garden.
The only flaw I can think of however, barring lack of clues on Scarle and Aia are the fact that Vivi and Kunai should be heading to Anime Impulse @ Phoenix in early August. But if we'll see departures in a NijiID style I expect at the very least Rosemi. You can pick the other six.
