​@@U1TR4F0RCE Now that you mention it, Hime lives full time in Japan, and Melody talks about moving there. If add Nova (and they probably all live in Japan), that will make seven VShojos there. I think only five live in the U.S. currently including Melody.

[@marvinhubregtse5776]

hearing the cute kettle noises is soothing for my soul happy to see she's so excited

[@godlessyuri]

I think it was a good idea to break from VShojo convention and debuting multiple JP talents at once. I think the experience with Nazuna showed that it is probably just easier on the JP talent to do things this way. KSon and Henya both have at least one foot in American culture, so they didn't have much issue adjusting to VShojo's individualistic approach where they can collab with whoever and do whatever they want (and, obviously, they both speak English and so can collab with other members of VShojo easily), but I think having at least one substantial batch of JP talents debuting at much the same time will make things easier for any future additions.

[@johnokland1652]

Well I mean the market space right japan has had vtubers for roughly 5-10 years before we really didn't and has a fraction of the population America alone has let alone English speaking country's English second language countries like India where there almost forced to learn It as a second language countries where alot of companies do buisness with English companies so its beneficial to learn and then still countries where they use the internet that's primarily created and ran by the English world for 30+ years so if you wanna leave the 20 sites created in your countries language you gotta pick up some english or deal with Google translate like the only places you could possibly get close to the same push while staying only loyal to your country is probably India or China and maybe like Spanish, German or slavic countries all together but even then do yeah of course if you can your gunna try to do English

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

@johnokland1652 , I have talked to a family friend's husband, who is Dutch, and he said that many Dutch people speak English. You will need to learn Dutch to get around reading to understand it, though. English is the international business language, yet I live in a backwards country where the English language is a political issue. Puerto Rico has been a US colony since 1898, in which during the early days they have tried to force us to only learn English. We were a Spanish colony before the Americans came. And many politicians here give us the scare tactic that to learn English is to submit to the oppressive imperial colonist.

[@johnokland1652]

@@JoseRivera-ym3wj well I mean yeah and most of Asia was concured by England hundreds of years ago hence why most of the world speaks English as a buisness language to begin with because the British empire honestly though you don't have to worry about it anymore the way our country's been run for the past 30-50 years you guys are already owned by one its called the US stock market and it basically runs most businesses and politicians around the world

[@johnokland1652]

It's not realy an argument your colonized now the question is would you rather be colonized by the US like the majority of the world at this point and the most powerful military known to man with 100s of international bases to "protect our alies" that's slowly becoming corrupted by our own economy and the rampant inflation of the stock market or do you want Russian bread lines and Chinese labor camps and thats kinda how the world's going right now untill something changes it

Wasn't there a nazuna amemi or someone?.. am i missing something?

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

Ok so four new members in JP. Let's see how well they interact with Henya and Kson. The difference with Nazuna was she was very well known as a VTuber and knew Kson quite well, but after a bit even Kson stopped collabing with her, I don't know if there were issues behind the scenes but who knows. I can only imagine how these girls act with Henya. I assume they've spoken in VC a bit so hopefully, Henya isn't all super shy with the girls. I assume Kson and Henya will host a few collabs with the girls and then invite them onto the Minecraft server.

[@AO968]

Minecraft will be their true initiation. Then, they will see Henya's true form: that of a scheming loan shark/mob boss, who is not afraid of murdering you or setting your house on fire if you steal from her.

[@mdb45424]

Nazuna was very against collabs with anyone but kson

[@BlueBluez]

Henya said on her stream was in VC with them before, Could be for months or weeks but we don't know

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

Nazuna was only trusting of kson because they were former members of Hololive, back when they were Coco and Rushia. What made Nazuna finally leave VShojo was more of the reach she had as Nazuna compared to her alter ego Mikeneko. Twitch is the preferred platform for VShojo, and Twitch doesn't have the same popularity as KZbin, which is the preferred platform for the Japanese VTuber corporations. It's why the advantage of being bilingual is key to kson's success. VTuber streaming in English on Twitch, while IRL streaming in Japanese on KZbin.

[@Hawky2947]

I'm probably in the minority when I think VShojo doesn't need more new members. Holo and Niji have many members and I only know select few. While VShojo, I know all except two (Hime, because she streams rarely, and Froot, because she mains FPS IMO and I'm not a fan of those). It feels like there is that small band of friends who stay tight with each other while in large roster, groups form and rivalry for viewership and drama starts. My feelings aside, new members welcome to the group and have fun interacting with other members and your chatters.

[@Hawky2947]

And now that you said Henya scamming kouhai in Minecraft... she kind of looks like Dori from Genshin Impact.

[@Philbert76]

I understand where you are coming from I worry about it as well but all in all this is a good thing for Vshojo and especially Vshojo JP...Vshojo will still be small compared to others this makes 16 total members I think or maybe 17 if there is a fifth member 🤙🏻 so yea don't worry about that stuff your not alone in that regard but I'm not gonna worry about it..plus I'm sure vshojo has screened all of them well enough and henya said she likes all of them so yea

[@SketchyClipper]

@@Hawky2947 Four recruits is certainly a lot by VShojo's standards. That hasn't happened since the company debut. It's also a little risking bringing in this many new talents at once. Since this gen is probably speaking Japanese mostly, it's pretty much a company debut for the Japanese-speaking audience. I read yesterday that someone described the Japanese view of VShojo as being just Kson and her English-speaking friends. Despite Kson having the best year of her life on other ways, her streaming audience has kind of plateaued. If VShojo wants to establish a lasting presence in the very competitive market, maybe this is the best way to do it. Only time will tell.
