I'm also gonna say this, and I am going to say this with absolute 100% respect for the JP/ID voice actors. They do a great job and have excellent communities. I can speak Japanese a smidge as my second language, but a lot of EN viewers are going to be English speaking only. So with that said...
I'm 1,000% certain JP and EN merging would kill Minecraft. JP already has Elytra, and anything you could really ask for. EN is just starting. Comparatively EN is just a baby. They have so much they can do and explore.
But you might say you want to see your favorite voice actor that speaks Japanese. The server visits are so cool right?
Yeah, BUT, they can always visit and make it an event. You can only find so many new things in Minecraft. Sure you might be able to roleplay for a collab but a lot of EN viewers don't know the JP girls. There's no incentive to.
Kiara LOVES Pekora. I get it. Do I? I have no idea who Pekora is. I came into this with the HoloEN launch like millions of other people with Gura. We do not understand Hololore and have no real incentive to learn it.
There will be English only speakers that may watch a Japanese stream out of novelty but...that's going to be a tiny majority.
Collabs are fine, but not only do you not gain anything by a merger, you lose something and that's just a path I don't think anyone really wants.
