>>23352778Niji has multiple people with record deals with Sony. Kami studio, who you might know as the people behind KAF, AZKi's oshi, is an entire corporation of vsingers who almost never stream and yet all produce albums and have multiple lives with tech that I wish Hololive could copy someday, with KAF being the biggest vsinger in the Eastern world, if you don't count Mori because of her huge Western fanbase, though perhaps Suisei has stolen that title now depending on how you measure success. Some smaller corpos like Live Union and Re:Act are nothing but vsingers, and that's not even going into all the indies like Boogey Voxx, MaiR, Fuji Aoi, Kotone, and so on.
Also, as much as people here shitpost about AZKi being a failure, they are trying to judge her success as a musical artist by streamer metrics. She has had 8 solo Lives now, most of which were behind a paywall and very profitable, normally does very well on album sales and for a long time was the only Holo to have any real following on streaming services like Spotify.
