>>57668631 on 1 Kiara always works well even with her genmates. Mori is probably her worst fit since she is pretty controlling and tries to compete with Kiara without having any tools necessary to do so. And even then Kiara makes it bearable most of the time.
TakoTori is always great, even their lame first tier list collab had some nice banter. A shame it's so rare.
SameTori switches between being cute and wholesome and being chaotic as fuck.
And even AmeTori works if Ame isn't locking up something that happened less in their most recent collabs.
It's only in bigger collabs that things get dicey.
Ina just doesn't like to talk much and I can respect that. It's her style and many love her for it.
Sadly the other three simply can't deal with bigger crowds, as seen with mumbling mess Mori and cAMEra in the festival collab (I'm proud of Gura, though).
Since Kiara has a very JP mindset she wants them to actually be entertainers and since the other four just aren't pulling their weight she has to do all the heavy lifting which can seem overbearing.
Honestly, I can not imagine what a mess EN would be without Kiara, all full collabs would probably be like InAme A Hat in Time where no one talks for 80% of the time...
I think Kiara is fairly happy where she is, despite her love for Japan much of her early years were drenched in US culture (as is common for people from the EU).
And she said on stream that she doesn't want to actually live in Japan anymore so she is probably done being a second class citizen. She is a bit isolated in EN but in JP she would stick out a lot more I feel.
