I think most Pioneers and Nayufans already know where to go to discuss the diva. My intention with the thread was to try to shill her music to as many new listeners as possible. I think there's a lot of catalog scrollers who might not really know her music outside of the usual songs, and I hoped to lure some shitposters in with the bait-style OP. I don't think many people randomly enter splits on a whim, so I believe that these catalog threads are better for exposure to curious and/or bored people. When glanced at in the catalog, threads that use complex artwork and have a wall of text in the OP don't really stand out as much as the typical white-background-default-pose.jpg threads do in my opinion.
Ideally I would have acquired and posted a list of the songs that have the highest likelihood of getting someone hooked to her music at the start of the thread. However, I haven't had much luck in assembling such a list. One problem with simply asking for favorite songs is that a recommendation from someone who has heard Inochi once might not be as useful as a recommendation from someone who has been listening to everything she's released for many years. There was a poll a few months back that had Sayonara Hero, From A to Z, and Inochi as the thread's most recommended songs, but again, it's difficult to tell if those were informed opinions. For example, nobody voted for Intersection despite the song seeming reasonably popular. I was hoping that the tier lists would help in this regard, or at least help in sparking some discussion. Unfortunately they take forever to do, and often there isn't much to comment on. They don't even prompt "top 3, bottom 3" replies...
I wonder if an AZKi split would be a reasonable option in the future. I don't have any problem posting in /sora/ and /vsinger/, but I think the lack of a centralized place to discuss AZKi means that many people just stick to making passing comments in the faster threads. However, an AZKi thread on its own probably wouldn't survive given her sporadic rate of activity.
In the meantime here's some AZKi pits.
