>>86653123Interesting to note is that of the 13 members who streamed 11 or more times in September, Elira streamed the least (12)
And yes, it does look like they're giving up. Consider all the shit we know because it's publicly available information (e.g. picrel), consider the fact that they know that information as well because of that whole "publicly available" thing, and then consider internal company information that they know but we don't - they know the end is near, even if they're contractually obligated to publicly pretend they don't know it. They might already know the exact date, or they might not be told the date until the company tells the investors about it (which is when /we/ will find out), but they know that the sands in Niji EN's hourglass are running low. Their streams are largely part of that "publicly pretending not to know that the end is near" thing I mentioned.
I'm reminded of that scene in Evangelion when Asuka is in Hikari's house playing video games after having her mind broken by Arael. Their streams might be for a similar reason - less "publicly pretending not to know that the end is near" and more "trying to distract themselves from the pain, because they know that the end is near and that there's nothing they can do to prevent or even delay it"
>>86667496Alban's return stream is this weekend; and as the other anon said, his one stream in Sept was a sponsored stream.
Petra had a goose egg for the month. Her visa is probably the only reason she hasn't left yet.
There's gonna be at most 10 or 11 "big" streams this month:
>Luca's recently-announced new outfit reveal>Alban's return stream>Noctyx's three 3D debut streams (Fulgur cannot get one for medical reasons)>Ethyria's three anniversary collab streams>TTT's two anniversary collab streams>the October graduation stream (assuming that whoever is graduating will have a graduation stream at all, and that it is not Vivi on her own anniversary stream)The five anniversary streams probably won't get a combined $400 in gross superchat revenue, unless Vivi's anniversary stream is also her graduation stream. But even with all the other streams this month, and all of the other streams they had in August and September (including Hex's graduation stream), I don't think they'll have the combined $1.36 million to avoid a fifth consecutive quarterly loss.
One million USD is 146.8 million JPY. It would be incredibly embarrassing for the company if the branch's quarterly gross streaming revenue is less than that. We'll find out on or around Dec 11 what the actual number is.
