Hololive, even the EN sphere, have several fan-created content, and all sorts of widespread memes that bring them new audiences from all sorts of places.
> HoloMyth animation which is close to completion.> Several prominent Holo animators who make animations of iconic holo moments and get 100k+ views.> Holo platformer game, Mumei fangame, even freaking Moona got a fangame that she played on stream.> Holo music has many remixes, mashups, covers, fan instrumentals etc.> Aquairo Palette trended on fucking TikTok of all places.> Towa's Papakin meme which recently went viral in the JP twitter sphere, entirely off the back of fan artists who found the meme hilarious (with some of it even leaking out into normie JP twitter).JP or English fans tend to have a give-and-take relationship between the chuubas, they make creative works --> they get the views, clout and numbers from holo audience.
Nijisanji on the other hand doesn't even get some of their iconic moments clipped (a lot of them languish in JP clips, e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMqwdHN-88).
They don't have fan animations, fan games, memes, no one outside of their meagre amount of fans gives a shit about their music enough to put work into making funny edits or remixes.
> inb4 muh ChinaChinese fans will use chinese websites for their shit, and post views that Chinese will understand and laugh at. No one in civilized countries will see or understand the "creative" works that they put out, and none of them will get enough numbers to make a dent in Hololive's English speaking community.
Lazulight had a decent start into getting there in the EN sphere, but that time has long passed and Luxiem has made getting a western audience impossible.
