It's a new week in Japan, it's the time for the usual analysis of NijiJP weekly sub growth. I hope you aren't bored of this.
Kuzuha (1st) continues his 10k/week streak, and hit 1.2 million subs. His partner, Kanae (2nd), has been very active with FPS collabs this week and grew nicely as well. Time will tell if their concert will boost their growth further (it definitely boosted their unit channel). Mito (3rd) is above her normal growth thanks to a kino stream and her unceasing attempt at short video content. Hoshikawa's (4th) growth is slowly winding down as work ramps up for Deion-bu's concert in March; but she kept her APEX content steady.
The ex-Gamer girls, Sasaki (5th), Shiina (14th), Himawari (6th) and Ririmu (53rd) are slightly growing from their Valorant reps, and Hima in particular drew some eyes from actually being good at the game. Ange (8th) pitched a singles solid zatsudan and a collab with Inui this week, but still grows 4k.
The boys in the upper rungs maintains their good sub growth, ROFMAO members are boosted as usual with Kenmochi (13th) leading the pack.
Amamiya (30th) is enjoying a healthy incline off her new costume reveal, original goods announcement, and being extremely cute in general, all while reaping off Valorant boost.
Naraka (49th) remains a unique standout of the growing FPS girls, with her outstanding skills at Valorant and generally tryharding for the Valorant team battle. Chigusa (46th) similarly enjoys growth from Valorant and a new costume that breaks her flat chest curse.
Lauren (55th) inclining off his comeback stream after the 24-hour afterparty that knocked him out for a week, and being commentator for the Valorant customs.
Hayama (68th) demonstrates you can incline just by streaming demanding games an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to the point you get health issues off it. Yugioh platinum endurance AND 24 hours of Elden Ring. Madlad. Sadly she's not as cute as Lulu.
Natsume (89th) benefits from a golden Yugioh moment between her and Yashiro/Chaika/Leos, which nicely lines up with the release of her light novel yesterday. It remains to be seen how well it'll perform.
Ngo (54th) looks to start a viral incline AGAIN off the well-received radio episode of Kanae and her, plus meme clips of her gameplay is hogging #1 on NND again. Her song cover also got restored just today which may help.
In unimportant news, the meme ghost (106th) lost 100 subs.
Not in this chart, but worth mentioning is the growth of some NijiKRs after the merger announcement. Biggest beneficiary goes to Nari (30k->50k) after Kuzuha recommended a clip of her+valo hijinks. Hada and Ha Yun are also inclining due to Valo collabs with the main branch. Suha is also inclining for some reason. I haven't looked at the data for NijiIDs but I think only Mika is inclining right now.
