>>17291273And the only reason HololiveJP gen 1 ~ 3 exists is because Nijisanji proved there was a big enough market for Live2D and hour streaming. compared to the old vtuber formula of 10-minute clips, did you know that?
Just a reminder, you like the fun gaming streams pekora and korone started doing that hooked everyone up? nijisanji pioneered that with their first wave in 2018, the JK gumi was taking japan by storm with their newly-discovered formula of turning streamers into live2D streamers, but you never see them mentioned in /vt/.
remember hololive GAMERS? it was a response to nijisanji originally splitting their waves into gamers/normal streamers, which later got merged into a single entity, after they realized that you didnt really need gaming skill to be an entertaining streamer, also a live2D debuting into 3D form? new live2D costumes? nijisanji's idea, hell, even aqua playing apex which was the first real BOOM of hololive, can be tracked back to Kanae and Chihiro doing it first, in fact the entirity of how hololive performs can be tracked to nijisanji doing it first, incluiding english-speaking like hana macchia did too.
anyways im not saying one branch is better than the other (Kizuna AI, Kaguya Luna and others like Gorilla where the true pioneers) but seeing this post saying cover discovered the english language like they where some sort of geniouses is hilarious to me, specially when in fact it was COCO who did all the job, a girl who constantly and vocally said was held down by her own management and ended up RETIRING the company too.
