>>534213all things considered, they're not actually doing that bad. you need to stick your head out of the Hololive/Nijisanji bubble and look at what sorts of numbers other agencies get.
take Re:Act for example, outside of Leona and Hanabasami who are 200k+ subs you have a lot of members who are under 50k subs after a couple years of work and that struggle to hit 100 viewers in a stream. look at Animare, Ran was recently the second member to join Haneru over 100k subs while other members like Kuku, Rui, Mimi or Izumi have started to lag behind most of the Holostars in growth and views despite starting around a similar timeframe and being damn near everywhere as far as collabs go.
I believe they'll make it big eventually but considering they launched from nothing it'll take time for it to happen. in just over a year, they're all doing a hell of a lot better than they were... it feels like it was yesterday that Astel was down there at the bottom with 14.5k subs struggling to hit 100 viewers.
>>548546that's not true at all. most of them have a higher percentage of overseas viewers than they do Japanese viewers, Astel's ratio is even worse than Towa's is. they need domestic viewers more than anything
>>552761if that was ever going to happen, it would have been before the big idol shift with sankisei but when the Holostars launched - despite members of the main branch still collabing with males outside of the company that at time - there was a ban on interactions between the two groups by Cover. it's far too late for that to change now, normalized relations between the two are never going to happen.
