>>87693965I don't know about that, I'd say it heavily depends on the Niji, Deron has always overperformed in music related to her sub count of viewership, meanwhile pic related, is Nozomi, probably their biggest breakout star since Salome. Even if you check some of their more popular males, it's not like there's a pattern
>Chin man - no shorts >Kuzuha - average short views 100k>Sho - has only uploaded 8 shorts since debut, Covers doing "good" but very infrequent >Akira - average short views 200k>Hibari >Akira - average short views 80k>Ibrahim - no shorts, no music>Bot man 1 - average short views 200k>Hayato - has only uploaded 4 shorts>Haru - average shorts views 50k>Bot man 2 - average short views 100k>Raden's boyfriend - average short views - 30k>Ex Albio - average short views - 50k>Akina - no shorts except shilling for his album, average views 20k - 3 Covers in the past year >ROF MAO official YT channel - average short views 100k>ChroNoiR official YT channel - average short views 50kAmong these guys there's a couple of pretty successful covers (their original music almost never makes the 1M) but their music output is extremely poor, not even one cover per month, or every other months. Even if there's a few Nijis who DO have good metrics from shorts and music it's nowhere near a significant portion of the total to be trend in the company, specially not such a big one. To compliment here's a few of the successful girls as comparison
>Mito - average shorts views 700k>Himwari - average shorts views 100k>Bully panda - average shorts views 100k>Shiina panda - average shorts views 100k>Flying onahole - doens't upload shorts regularly >Rion- average shorts views 50k>Cuck - doens't upload shorts regularly >Blue Lulu - average shorts views 150k>Toko - average shorts views 250k>Nui - average short views - 20k>Hoshikawa - average shorts views 200k>Furen - average shorts views 550k>Salome - average shorts views 550k>Suzuna - no shorts since debut The real answer is that Niji doesn't seek to have individually strong "Livers" but rather wants Nijisanji to be strong as a company and brand. You can see signs of that in their more recent interviews where they claim their goal is to have 24h of continuous Niji programing, and aim to have the studio as the core of their activities instead of individual at home distribution, with the numbers centering around a group of 5-7 channels with the rest of Niji acting as the supporting cast for their ensamble content
