>>88497359 (Me)>>88298982Alright I'm now 60% sure that something is happening to EN tomorrow on November 1st. So I'll put my reasons down below:
Established Precedence/Convenient timing
>This is the last long weekend for the Japan Stock Market this year, so if Anycolor needed any major bad news to have a buffer now is the time.>The merger for ID/KR became official 2 months after the merger announcement (Feb-April), if Anycolor were to do the same timeframe then a November 1st announcement would mean the merge would be made official on January 1st. Which obviously would conveniently coincide with the new year.>This time frame between November 1st and the New Year means that the Nijisanji Music featuring nearly all of EN as well as Luxiem's Anniversary.>Nijisanji recently announced that more EN merch will now be shipped from their warehouse in Japan, rather than the USA. (Although considering it seems what is left is just some early XSoleil merchandise, this may just be them cutting off a unused expense. Considering that many people have said that most other merchandise regardless of branch was from the Japan warehouse.)Speculation/Potential arguments for and against.
>Anycolor may have been waiting until Q2 has ended to see EN's total revenue, to see if they passed any potential benchmarks they set for them.>The merger announcement may also provide some artificial demand for merch as a whole. Since this would be the last time you could get official merch from the "EN" branch.>The music festival would be a prime opportunity for the company to properly introduce/integrate the EN branch to the JP audience.>The Merger for ID/KR also coincided with it being in the last fiscal quarter (Feb-Apr), which Anycolor could do the same to EN as well to simplify things and give them a fresh start so to speak. >However considering the revenues numbers for EN it's possible they may move it ahead, taking the choice of just 1 more embarrassing quarter for EN rather than 2.
