>>53595471IRyS, Mumei, and Kronii are objectively successes even compared to JP, Bae/Fauna have both had significant success aside from streaming outright like song collabs and being based*
*One of the only tolerable not banworthy EN ASMR YouTuber
IRyS in particular has a song library getting lots of play both on her channel and on her platform
Council is a bumpy road but given how self produced talents are it's hardly a "flop" and Cover did not characterize it as one, or even a setback, in their revenue plan, quite the opposite
I think the big delay had been Cover meeting obligations (!) not anything to do with EN itself
Their big 3D model overhaul coincided with a ton of high profile concerts and the new studio, now they ALL have extremely high quality MMD & tech support, new 3Ds, and a full set of other misc demands for birthdays and shit that Myth groused about not having for years. Even much of JP only got these things recently despite Roboco project having them built up for years.
Now these things are sorted I wouldn't be surprised if next gen is 3-4 months away. They may debut with 3D models, in house riggas, and home tracking.
