>>22364739The point made here is correct.
In the beginning, there was Treerat and Hana.
HoloID at the beginning is basically the HoloEN lite. HoloID pander to western market (including Treerat, even), whereas NijiID did not. But this pandering to western market would not persist when HoloEN appeared.
After HoloEN appeared, the miracle of Moon-Rabbit Lapis Lazuli occur, Moona "takes charge" of HoloID, Usaken arc begun, and that saves HoloID. HoloID got lucky here. Then Gen 2 HoloID came around, and Ollie basically became Moona's deputy in pandering to western market.
(Insert NNN in between the above paragraph, this is basically Risu's contribution to HoloID)
Mid-2021, HoloID (under M-Chan's direction it seems) begun pandering to ID market again (by making MC ID server), much to the complaints of western fans. This didn't seem to work initially, but then (i) MC ID server became relatively successful, and (ii) Moona started unarchived karaoke regularly. This carried HoloID all the way to the 3rd fest and HoloID Gen 3 debut.
(insert NNN season 2 here, again this is Risu's biggest contribution to HoloID)
The HoloID's 3rd fest was VERY successful, and that opens the way for eyes towards Gen 3 debut.
Gen 3's make up is:
>Zeta for kaigainiki>Kaela for niche market>Kobo for ID marketGen 3 debut was very successful, and we will see if they can keep this.
Back to Nijisanji ID and Hana, Nijisanji ID never really pander to western market. I see that most of the time NijiID did stream in Indonesian, and that would not do for western markets. By doing this, they didn't open their presence to kaigainiki. Technically, pandering to ID market is what ID branch should do, however:
HoloID/Moona became pragmatic when the situation demands it, whereas NijiID/Hana did not, and that's how NijiID flops.
These days, Mika is probably the only one (also lately, arguably Boni) that play ball with western market by collabing with NijiEN. If only Mika was in NijiID earlier, NijiID might be in a much better position than now. Alas, she did not, and that's how we come into the present situation.
Sorry for the long post, TLDR:
>HoloID/Moona is pragmatic, pander to kaigainiki market>NijiID/Hana "stays true" to ID branch purpose, to pander to ID market>HoloID is more successful
