Hi, I've been waffling back and forth about whether to post this or not. I've noticed that a lot of people on this subreddit have some questions about Niji livers, or seem to have incorrect information about them, so I wanted to post this as kind of an info dump.
I've been a lurker on Nijisanji Twitter and YouTube for quite a while - I don't post tweets, chat, or post YouTube comments. I started following the Nijisanji Reddit when Selen was terminated. I have never made a Reddit post before, so I apologize if I'm breaking some Reddit etiquette that I'm not aware of. The only thing I know about Reddit posts is that they are in markdown (which I'm using in school/work). If people want me to provide sources or clarify certain points, I would totally be willing to do that (once I figure out how Reddit works). If this post is violating rules, I will try to fix it (or delete it in the worst case).
This post is going to cover what the Niji community on Twitter thinks about each liver. I am not making any claims of who bullied who or what not, but I will mention who seems close and which people don't seem to like each other. I will also try to avoid PL talk unless I think it might be useful to understand the person. It's also possible that impressions could be incorrect and that things are quite different behind the scene. The people I watched in order are Enna, Selen, Mysta, and Mille, so the post has more information relating to them. I watch Enna and Selen quite a bit more than Mysta and Millie. I started following Nijisanji in summer 2022, so stuff from before that is just me repeating what I've heard from others. The post is in liver debut order. I'll also try to differentiate between things I've heard and my own thoughts. You should probably not take the points which are my thoughts too seriously. But I guess that's enough of my ramblings. Here's the list.
Pomu
- Pomu is very shy and suffers from severe social anxiety. She mentioned seeing a therapist and being prescribed depressants.
- When she debuted, she still hadn't quit her job (unlike the other members). She quit her job in July 2021.
- Pomu's sub count notably lagged Elira and Finana's at the beginning. She became the most popular member of Lazulight at the start of 2023. Edit: someone in the comments stated it was because she took a month break to get surgery.
- It seems to me that while Nijisanji seemingly treated Elira as the most senior member, the other livers (including Elira and Finana) treated Pomu as the most senior member. You can see this dynamic occur in Lazulight collabs. Many members also praised Pomu a lot during their own streams.
- Pomu notably has not given a reason for why she left Nijisanji. In fact, Uki said that he didn't know why Pomu was graduating during her graduation call in. When she returned as Maid Mint, she dodged the question, only saying that she was restless and that "heaven had given her cardboard wings" - a reference to her 3D debut when Luca asks her to fly.
- It is possible that her graduation is related to her "once in a lifetime opportunity", but she has given no indication of what that was.
Elira
- Elira was the most popular member of Lazulight for quite a while. She was also the most subscribed female member until May 2022 when she was passed by Selen.
- Elira's Japanese is pretty good, but I think that she would struggle in a business context. Petra, Sonny, and especially Shu seem to have better Japanese skills than her.
- Elira is also very shy, and my impression is that she struggles to make friends in Nijisanji. I think she especially struggles to make friends with guys. She generally hangs around the people she knew in her PL.
- Elira is slightly closer to Millie than she is to Enna.
- Elira isn't close at all with Vox and Ike. I have no idea what she has to do with those 2.
- It's mentioned in Raziel's doc that Elira and Luca tried to help Scarle deal with Aster and failed. If true, I don't think she has any real influence over other members.
Finana
- Finana actually was pretty on par with Elira in terms of growth in the beginning. However, she constantly found herself in controversy.
- After the word banning incident, Finana's growth completely crashed.
- Finana hasn't really had any controversy since the Zaion incident.
- Finana seemed very close to Selen, and collabed with her quite often. She even dedicated a song to her! You can also see in the girls off collab that Finana and Selen seem to talk by themselves in a corner.
- Finana currently seems to have some respect in Nijisanji EN as their senior member, especially as Elira has been incapacitated.
Rosemi
- Rosemi knew Pomu, Elira, and Millie before Niji.
- Rosemi is Selen's most common collab partner and seemed to be her closest friend in the company.
- Rosemi was also working an office job when she started in Nijisanji. She quit her job in March 2022. She was also lagging Selen and Petra in sub count at the beginning.
- Rosemi collabs pretty often with other members and nearly all members seem to like her.
Petra
- There have been rumors for a long time (probably dating back to the end of 2021) that Obsydia does not get along, and that Petra and Selen in particular did not get along.
- Petra is very close to Reimu, her friend from her PL. She has also gotten very close to Enna - I estimate that they probably met each other IRL over 20 times in 2023.
- Petra has had a spotty streaming schedule since she went to Japan in September 2022. I've always had suspicions that she isn't very committed to the company. Her growth has also crashed.
- Petra does graphics work for a lot of members (recently she did work for Uki and Maria). I also remember her doing the thumbnails for the Luxiem and Noctyx outfit relays.
- In January, Petra's PL tweeted that she was miserable and wished that she was more useful and could stand up for others.
- Petra doesn't have that many close friends in Nijisanji, other than maybe Shu, Elira, Enna, Reimu, and Millie.
Selen
I coud probably write an entire post about Selen. I'll try to keep the most relevant details.
- Selen has been struggling with mental health for a long time. There's a now deleted Twitlonger on her Dokibird account where she talks about how her parents forced her to live with them through the pandemic.
- Selen also mentioned that her parents were very controlling and that she felt "like a caged bird" when she was younger. I can't find the stream she said this in - it was during spring/summer 2023 and I think she had her bear outfit.
- Selen really struggles with singing, though she's improved a lot since she entered Nijisanji. Her original song "Fly High" was delayed for over a year.
- Selen currently seems to be treated like Voldemort by Nijisanji. In Kyo's graduation stream, Meloco references learning about the word "queef" from the Cards Against Humanity stream, but she seems to tiptoe around which collab she learned the word from.
- Selen's archive is missing some streams from May 2023 to August 2023. Most notably missing is her Call Of Duty collab, her Payday collab with TSB, and a Civ collab.
- Selen initiated a lot of collabs among Niji members. She especially loved doing 4 person collabs. She seemed to be the most comfortable collabing with guys, especially Luxiem and Noctyx. Her most common collab partners are Pomu, Finana, Rosemi, Vox, Ike, Fulgur, and Doppio.
- Selen mysteriously stops getting merch around the summer of 2023. Before that she gets quite a bit.
- In her termination letter, Selen apparently violates "activity rules" in May 2023 - the event referenced is probably the controversy over the costume contest (her unreleased 5th outfit).
- I strongly suspect that HYTE actually did have a collab case for Selen. However, Nijisanji cancelled the case after they sent the notice about Selen not appearing at Anime Impulse LA 2024. I also suspect that there's a missing Obsydia art - there's one for both Lazulight and Ethyria.
- Selen was not terminated for breaking any rules at Nijisanji or anything related to Last Cup Of Coffee. In fact, I don't think she was even suspended for Last Cup Of Coffee. It seems the reason for Selen's suspension (at least from my understanding of the termination notice) was her suicide attempt. The reason for her termination seems to have been because she refused to return to Nijisanji after her suicide. I'm not blaming her by the way - I wouldn't have returned either!
- Doki seems to imply in her return stream on February 7th that the other members of Nijisanji knew about her suicide by December 27th.
- Selen mentions in her "Rewriting Our Lore" stream that Lazulight and Obsydia were chosen in the same audition and that they were then split into 2 waves. Selen also mentioned that she was immediately put into wave 2. Based on how differently Nijisanji treats Lazulight and Obsydia, I assume that Niji EN's management never thought very highly of Selen's abilities.
- Selen seems to have had a big blow up around the time of the Fall Guys tournament cancellation. I remember that she went silent on Twitter for a few days while training Ollie and Zeta for their Pokemon Unite tournament. She then posted this. I had never seen Selen post anything else like this on Twitter, so I think the message is pretty clear.
Nina
- As many people know, Nina was left out by other members of Ethyria during her early days in Nijisanji. They seem to have made up around the time of Otakuthon 2022 (early August 2022). The stream where Nina mentions this is in October 2022 during a stream with Alban.
- Nina seemed to get close to Ironmouse in the beginning. She dropped by her first subathon a lot.
- Nina was the most popular member of Ethyria in the beginning and was second behind Selen after spring 2022. Her growth slowed down a lot later and she was passed by Pomu, Elira and Enna.
- Nina was not attacked for getting close to the Luxiem boys (the person who was attacked for that was Mika). She was apparently attacked because she "failed to take care of Mysta and let him get hurt". Honestly, I think this reason is somehow worse.
- I am not saying that Doki and Matara still dislike each other. However, I think that the main reason why Doki and Matara haven't talked is that they have some unresolved issues between them dating back to their time in Nijisanji, which has created a wall between them. I noticed some strange interactions between Selen and Nina around Nina's graduation which seemed to indicate their mutual dislike.
- Matara mentioned hanging out with Millie, Enna and Elira in the beginning of January (the elevator tweets). In her February 8th outfit reveal, she mentions that "a few of her friends are going through a tough time and that she has been there for them." (near the 10 minute mark). Someone from 4chan also claims that Elira can be heard in the background of Matara's karaoke when she was in Japan (take this with a grain of salt too).
- 4chan, by the way, hated Nina until her graduation. I think she was probably their least favorite member of Ethyria. Liking Nina on 4chan was pretty much tantamount to liking Luxiem because they blamed her for making Luxiem popular. It was very funny seeing them do a 180 when she announced her graduation.
Millie
- Millie's PL is one of the most well known in Nijisanji. She was friends with a lot of people (PL Pomu, PL Elira, PL Rosemi, Pikamee, Moona, Risu, and Iofi). I kind of suspect that the reason why Niji EN couldn't collab with HoloID in the beginning was probably because Nijisanji didn't want Millie to collab with HoloID and expose her PL. Millie actually still hasn't appeared on any of their streams - Iofi and Moona visited Millie's birthday totsumachi in 2022.
- There were a lot of rumors that Millie was going to Hololive. Millie even stated that Moona had offered to get her into HoloID - however, Millie refused because she wasn't familar with Indonesia. You can look up Moona invited Lyrica to join Hololive Indonesia for the clip.
- Despite the fact that Millie constantly simps for Nijisanji, Nijisanji... doesn't seem to like her all that much? The only non wave merch that I can find for her is being on a cover for the 2023 desk calendar alongside Finana, Rosemi, and Enna. That is, until Sunday when she suddenly got some merchandise. She seems to get an average amount of con appearances, and she doesn't seem to get a ton of sponsors. If you guys find more non-Ethyria merch of Millie that I missed, please let me know. Her numbers are pretty middle of the pack, so I don't see why she seems to get less than everyone else in the first three waves other than Reimu - who has significantly worse numbers.
- Millie isn't really close to Uki and Shu. She doesn't seem to know them all that well.
- After her infamous "secret stream" where she attempted to attack 4chan in January 2023, Millie seems to have faced a very harsh shadow suspension. She was suspended from the day after Doppio's birthday until after Valentine's day (missing two weeks).
- Millie may have considered graduation in February 2023.
- I'm pretty sure that Millie was trying to improve her relationship with Selen in November and December 2023. They suddenly had a few collabs after not collabing for quite a long time.
- Millie seems to have been the person who organized the big Japan trip in 2024. She also organized the secret santa at Nijifes 2023.
Enna
- I personally suspect that the person who got Enna into Nijisanji is actually Millie, not Elira. Enna mentioned in the beginning of 2023 that they auditioned as a duo, and that if one of them didn't get in, the other would refuse the offer. I think most likely Nijisanji thought that they couldn't pass up Millie so they decided to take Enna as well.
- Enna actually led all female members of Nijisanji EN in CCV in 2023. She was also second in sub growth among the first three waves (after Selen), and ended the year second in sub count among girls. It certainly seemed that way as a fan - Enna's fanbase seemed to be everywhere and she was brought up alot in streams of other members. Despite this, Enna doesn't get a ton of superchats.
- Enna also started quite slowly. She was second last among girls in March 2022, and then proceded to explode starting from May 2022. She became second in sub count among girls around February 2023.
- Enna also seemed to have faced a shadow suspension in October 2023 over her comments about fried chicken. She apologized during the next stream (I think it's a deleted horror story maro reading stream) and oddly went radio silent for a few days. She only seemed to miss about 3 days.
- Enna and Selen collabed quite a bit during 2022 (I think they had 10 collabs from May 2022 to December 2022). However, Enna suddenly vanishes from Selen's collab list after Wrestlesanji 2023. I suspect that they had a bad falling out sometime in winter/spring 2023. They are definitely not on good terms by the time Nina graduates.
- Enna is not really close to any of Elira's PL friends other than Millie. She said that she doesn't really know Pomu, Rosemi, Shu, and Uki very well and doesn't really consider them close friends.
Reimu
- Reimu's oshi when she joined Nijisanji was apparently Selen. She covererd "Black Out" as her graduation song in her PL.
- Reimu seems to have been on decent terms with Selen at the time of Selen's suicide attempt. During Selen's last week, she was supposed to have a collab with Reimu/Nerissa/Zentreya. I think Reimu was planning to introduce Selen to Nerissa.
- However, Reimu also vanished from Selen's collab list around the same time as Enna did. She appears again starting from September 2023 (a Risk collab on Rosemi's channel).
- As other people have noted, Dokibird appears in Reimu's friend list in her Apex stream on January 10, 2024.
- Reimu is often sick and misses a lot of streams. She also seems to move around a lot, going to Europe, America, and her family's home in Colombia.
- Reimu is the most obscure member of Lazulight/Obsydia/Ethyria. She lags the others in popularity (as well as Maria).
Luca
Well, you all saw the doc, right? I think that doc covers a lot of rumors around Luca. I will add a few more points.
- I've heard from some members of Luca's fanbase (maybe take it with a grain of salt) that the Ring Fit incident with Raziel was more of a last straw type of incident. They had already previously complained about her being overprotective of Luca.
- Luca is notably quite uncomfortable talking about sex - the other members of Luxiem all talk about sex quite freely. I think it's pretty unlikely that he commited sexual harrassment of any other livers. Most likely the harrassment he committed was like what he did with making fun of Scarle by posting distorted pictures of her face, or perhaps berating others.
- Keep in mind that you should take Raziel's claims with a lot of salt when she doesn't have logs. Her memory is pretty spotty. She mentioned in her original thread that the person who brought Luxiem to their expensive dinner was a male manager named Noor. When someone pointed out that Noor is actually a women, she changed that person to Riku Tazumi - someone who I'm pretty sure should be hard to mess up.
Shu
- Shu's PL was a member of the now notorious Hanamori group.
- In Raziel's tweets and later doc, she mentions that Shu was very upset with the AR live cancellation. Shu pretty much hasn't had a steady streaming schedule since the cancellation.
- Reimu also mentioned that at one point Shu got into an argument in Japanese with a member of Nijisanji's management. I personally think this incident is probably the NFT song incident mentioned in the Raziel doc.
- Shu was also pretty close with Yugo when Yugo graduated.
- Shu speaks Japanese very well, with almost native proficieny.
- According to Raziel, Shu and Luca are close.
Ike
- Ike was probably the closest male member to Selen. I believe he had the most collabs with her. He also helped her quite a bit with music, including her concert. Selen and Ike had a duet during one of Ike's unarchived karaokes (of BoB's Airplanes) which is pretty well known in the community.
- Ike is prone to go missing for long periods of time for no apparent reason.
- Ike collabs with Vox a lot for than Luca and Shu.
- According to Raziel's doc, Ike and Luca don't like each other.
- Ike helps a lot of people in the company with mixes. He recently helped Aia and Maria with their covers.
Mysta
- Mysta's graduation had been rumored in the community for a long time.
- Mysta was actually the most popular member of Luxiem in the beginning.
- Mysta seemed to have graduated because he didn't want to be shipped and was uncomfortable doing the RPs with the other Luxiem members.
- In November 2022, Mysta went away to the Phillipines for a month as a break. He also visited Indonesia.
- In January 2023, Mysta gave some advice for Nijisanji auditions in a now deleted stream. The stream is oddly titled "Am I your bunny boy?" This is the stream where Mysta mentions the 2% merch cut. I remember one of his clippers made a google doc about the things he mentioned and posted in on Twitter, but I cannot find that tweet. If someone could help me, I would be extremely thankful.
- In a recent clip by Kizu (look up Kuro tried to end game himself a few times), Kuro mentioned that he was suicidal while he was in his previous job and about a year and a half ago he tried to commit suicide a few times.
- Mysta and Selen seemed to admire each other, but they didn't seem to be close. They did have a few collabs together.
- Mysta seemed to generally praise Nijisanji management while he was in the company. However, once he announced his graduation, he immediately started criticize them; I remember him saying that Nijisanji apparently didn't have a convincing plan for the future. He also said he no plans to graduate in January 2023, which we now know is a lie.
- Mysta seemed to get along well with Holostars' Gavis Bettel. He actually said that he wanted his fanbase to go and join Bettel's fanbase.
- 4chan also hated Mysta. I remember they called him a crybaby and said that he was being overdramatic. I'm pretty sure they hated him more than Vox.
Vox
- Vox and Selen seemed to have a close relationship while she was in Nijisanji. They both mentioned each other quite a bit and were complimentary. Vox even shouldered the cost of her Niji Prism Cup tournament. When Vox did the black stream, it shocked pretty much everybody in the Niji community because of how close they seemed to be.
- In August 2023, Vox deleted all of his erotic ASMR content. In fact, Vox seems to want to move away from that kind of content. Vox hasn't really done any sexual content since early 2023.
- Vox also seemed to be well regarded in the VTuber community as a whole. He mentioned meeting a lot of people in LA in 2023 along with Shoto and Uki. RubberRoss also mentioned that he met Vox in LA and hung out with him for a bit.
- Vox seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown before Selen's termination. He had mentioned that he hadn't left his apartment in a long time and that he wanted to take a break.
- Vox has also mentioned going to therapy to help deal with ADD.
- Vox hasn't done a normal stream on YouTube since the end of January. He's only appeared in collabs and done one membership stream and a BiliBili stream (which was supposed to be a Lunar New Year stream).
- A note on Vox's PL accusations - Calysto and Vade have apparently denied that they are the same person. Apparently some fans have stated that the only thing that really connects them is that they are both deep voiced British men. Calysto would have been around 16 during the Vade accusations.
Sonny
- Sonny generally keeps to himself and is pretty controversy free. He does a reasonable amount of collabs, but he only seems close to Alban.
- Sonny's PL is the infamous Sketchek, the TF2 streamer who faked his death. He claimed that he had a terminal illness in 2013, when he was 16. In 2015, he left the content creation sphere. However, he later resurfaced and apologized for his actions.
- Sonny lived in Japan for a while, so his Japanese is very good.
- Sonny no longer plays TF2. Apparently in a membership stream Sonny mentioned that he used to be addicted to a game, which caused him to drop out of school and caused him to get kicked out of the house.
Uki
- Uki is another member of the infamous Hanamori group.
- When Yugo graduated, Uki was the person from Noctyx who did the first response stream. Unlike the later streams that Kotoka and Elira did, Uki actually goes against management. He states that Yugo did not want to leave Nijisanji (not stated in Yugo's graduation document) and that he also thought that Yugo should have been allowed to stay. He actually broke down in the middle of the stream after saying they (Noctyx) fought for Yugo.
- Uki was very close to Pomu and Kyo, since they were the only three people in Nijisanji who played Minecraft often. Uki actually live tweeted Quinn's vtuber debut (he tweeted about Quinn's ice soup). He also recently mentioned that he was excited about Mint's return and that he was one of the first 20 people who membered to Mint, and liked a Mint tweet. I actually suspect that Uki doesn't like Nijisanji's management very much.
Alban
- Alban is generally controversy free. He's pretty similar to Sonny in this regard.
- Alban is generally well liked by everybody in the company.
- Alban accidently retweeted a dearsqn tweet.
Fulgur
- Fulgur is the primary person who was implicated in Petra's discord leak making fun of HoloCouncil. I don't think he has any other controversy though. (Personally, I think what he said in the discord wasn't really that rude and I have no idea why it was such a big deal).
- Fulgur seems to be well regarded in the community. He notably used his PL to assuage fears about Scarle after she hearted the Kurosanji comment.
- Ironmouse really likes Fulgur and has called him one of the nicest people she has ever met. Fulgur probably empathizes with Ironmouse due to his condition.
- Fulgur is friends with a lot of people in Nijisanji. He was definitely close to Selen, and they did a lot of collabs together.
- Fulgur has a pretty bad back, and is unable to take an airplane. He cannot go to Japan. He is the only member of Nijisanji EN who has not met another member IRL (at least from what has been said publicly). Fulgur actually had to take an official hiatus in May 2023 to recover.
Yugo
This might be the most interesting part of this document for a lot of you guys. Also note that Unnamed goes by they/them, while the character Yugo Asuma is a he/him.
- Recently, Unnamed did a article with Dexerto about his vtubing journey. You can read it here. It covers most of their career pre Nijisanji as well as their current activities. It skips over their Nijisanji career though.
- Yugo had almost no experience streaming pre Niji. His debut stream was pretty scuffed, and nobody could see it on the official channel.
- Apparently Nijisanji had scouted Yugo for Luxiem, but he refused the offer. He accepted the Noctyx offer.
- In March 2023, Yugo receives what is Niji EN's first shadow suspension when he tweeted something insensitive about the earthquake in Japan. He goes radio silent for a week.
- In June, apparently he had a drunk batsu stream where he ended up breaking down about his gender identity. (Thanks for the correction).
- There were also rumors that Yugo would go on 2chan and argue with random chatters there.
- Yugo didn't really seem to be having any problems leading up to his last stream. On November 14th, Yugo mentioned that he was going to go on a one or two week break starting from the 21st. He seemed to be in reasonably high spirits and mentioned working on an orignal song.
- However, on his last stream on the 21st, Yugo seems to be more down and is probably aware that it's his last stream.
- The other members were told about Yugo graduating on November 30th, and he graduated on December 14th.
- Pomu mentions and thanks Yugo for helping with her 3D reveal, and he is credited in the stream.
- Mysta also mentions Yugo before Mysta graduated.
- I think Yugo was well liked by pretty much every single Niji member. He also called himself a dragoon and got close to Selen before he graduated. Selen mentioned after Yugo's graduation that she wanted to keep her VODs with him up so that they could relive their memories (well...)
- I also think that other Nijisanji livers (especially Shu and Uki) protected Yugo from facing termination. I don't really think he was bullied.
Maria
- Maria is pretty controvesy free. She seems to be well liked by most Niji members.
- When Zaion got terminated, Nijisanji wiped Zaion from Maria's Identity duet.
- Maria mentioned that she is planning to move to Japan so she can release more music.
Kyo
- Kyo didn't know much about Nijisanji before he was in the company. He got into vtubing because of Ironmouse and he considers Mouse to be his oshi.
- Kyo apparently liked a tweet complaining about Zaion's sexual assault comments - he claims he thought it was about Elliot Gindi. Other than that, he doesn't seem to have anything else to do with Zaion.
- Kyo has mentioned that he also goes to therapy regularly.
- In Kyo's graduation stream, he mentioned that he left a lot of unfinished projects - a cover with Ren, an original with Ike and Mysta(!), an orignal with Enna, his second outfit, and another outfit he was supposed to match with Enna. Apparently his original with Finana was also in danger of not being finished.
- Apparently Kyo is the reason why Nijisanji added a question about the height of applicants. His original model was 160cm, but his actual height is over 180cm.
- Kyo and Selen seemed have a cordial relationship. They had a handful of collabs together.
- Kyo seems to have started planning his graduation in October 2023, around the time he was suspended for his Korea plastic surgery comments.
Aia
- Aia is close with Scarle and Maria. She's also gotten close to Vivi and Kunai.
- Aia seemed to get along well with Selen as well. Selen invited her to a few collabs, and she's in Selen's birthday stream.
- Apparentely Aia implied that Nijisanji would be her last attempt at content creation. However, I'm not too sure this is still true.
- Aia has also mentioned going to therapy before.
Aster
- Raziel has alleged that Aster harrassed some members of Iluna/Xsoleil, and that a current member of Nijisanji corroborated her claims.
- Aster has mentioned before (I believe around New Year's 2023) that he was having trouble finding collab partners and blamed it on his shyness.
- There are apparent discord leaks with Aster and Scarle posted on 4chan. Some people seem to think the leaks would have been hard to fake due to certain features. However, the leaks themselves seem to represent Aster as less of a sexual harrasser and more of him just being rude. They also are old, dating to November 2022.
- Aster isn't close with almost all of his senpais. The only senpai who seems to collab with him is Finana. For his part, Aster seems to be very grateful to Finana for this.
- I personally suspect Aster resents Kyo and Ren for cutting him out and collabing with senpais.
Scarle
- Scarle mentioned that before Nijisanji, she watched a lot of Ethyria. She later revelaed that her oshi was Nina.
- Nina seemed to take Scarle under her wing and they seemed close.
- Scarle seems close to her genmates. She doesn't really seem to have any problems with Aster right now - they actually sometimes drop by each other's streams.
- Scarle isn't super close to most of her senpais other than maybe Fulgur. She does seem to trust Elira, Enna, and Millie though. I don't think she was close at all with Selen. It's kind of surprising that she was the one who liked the kurosanji comment.
- I remember going on Scarle's PL twitter in late 2023, so I was surprised to hear that it had been privated. She seemed to confirm a few days ago that she only privated it in February for a bit.
Ren
- Ren seems to have unusual respect in Nijisanji among the post Noctyx waves.
- Ren's PL is one of the largest in Nijisanji. However, my impression of his PL was that a lot of people thought he was leeching off his more popular girlfriend.
- Ren seems especially close to Kyo and Scarle.
- Ren has the lowest frequency of streams out of everybody in EN. His usual schedule is 4 streams a week.
Zaion
This section could probably also be it's own document. I'll try to focus on Zaion and less on Sayu.
- Zaion had a shadow suspension for a week starting from December 31st, 2022.
- Zaion's suspension on February 8th was an official suspension, not a shadow suspension.
- Zaion had trouble almost immediately when she started streaming in Nijisanji. I think she had multiple VODs privated in week 1.
- Apparently her fan discord had a "days since last privated VOD counter". I heard that her fanbase was actually expecting her suspension before it happened.
- Zaion's sexual assault comments didn't have anything to do with her suspension. The VOD for that stream was only removed 3 days later.
- Zaion herself seemed nervous about her situation before her official suspension. During one stream (I think it was her 3rd Good Job stream) where she asks chat if any other liver in Nijisanji had multiple VODs get privated. She then said that the VODs being privated wasn't her fault.
- In Raziel's original tweet thread with allegations against Luca, she shared a screenshot of a Discord message from Zaion to all the other livers where she mentioned she wanted to join a group call, that she still couldn't access her company accounts (Slack, Teams, Youtube, Twitter - but she still had access to Discord) and that she was going to sue the company. This was probably during her suspension in February 2023.
- When Zaion was in the company, the first 5 waves unfortunately seemed to ignore Iluna and Xsoleil. This resulted in Zaion mainly only interacting with Iluna and Xsoleil during her time in the company. I don't think Zaion really got to know anybody in the first 5 waves other than Finana. The first 5 waves only really started to integrate Iluna and Xsoleil after Zaion was terminated from the company.
Doppio
- Doppio's PL is extermely spicy. I think Nijisanji actually hired him to be like Vox.
- Doppio is generally well liked by everybody in the company. Selen, Fulgur, and Vox took a particular liking to him.
- Apparently Doppio's PL still follows Sayu, and she still follows his PL.
Meloco
- Meloco's oshi was revealed by Hex to be Enna. Meloco notably simps for Enna. They've also met IRL quite a few times.
- Meloco seems close with Luca. Luca apparently taught her a lot of English.
- Other than her genmates and the people above, Meloco primarily hangs around JP.
Hex
- Hex's oshi is Mysta. He was very upset when Mysta graduated.
- When Kuro debuted, Hex followed Kuro's. He was then bonked by management and he had to unfollow Kuro.
- Hex apparently has a stream titled "you're not getting away with it" mixed in on a playlist of 20 songs on his PL. (Thanks for the correction). This apparently predates Selen's termination.
- Selen and Hex did a few collabs. Hex seems to very close to Doppio. Hex also seems close to Millie.
Kotoka
- Kotoka has been suffering from mental health issues for a long time as well.
- Yozora Mel's PL apparently still follows Kotoka's PL. Nobody can confirm if her PL used to follow Kotoka. Kotoka also did a collab with Hololive after Mel's termination.
- Kotoka appeared in Ver's birthday stream back in August 2023 where she complains that she is miserable and the only thing keeping her in Nijisanji is her genmates.
- Kotoka has also mentioned that she misses Zaion and regrets what happened to her.
- I personally suspect Kotoka is very likely to graduate when her contract is up. Don't expect her immediately leave though - she'll probably leave this summer.
- Kotoka is probably the most successful post Noctyx girl in terms of CCV.
Ver
- Ver seems to still be either in school or working. He generally only streams on weekends.
- When Ver joined Nijisanji, he mentioned that his oshi wave was Ethyria. Later, Hex also revealed that Ver's oshi was Enna.
- Enna seems to have taken a liking to Ver and has collabed with him multiple times. He's also close with Uki.
I also have a few general notes. But first, a non EN member:
Mika
- Mika seems to have been completely unaware of any issues happening in Niji EN. It seems that the other members shielded her. Remember that Mika was under a completely different management structure.
- Kamii seems to like most of the people in Niji EN. Her tweet complaining about others putting her down seems to have been aimed at the indies who collabed with her to get to Niji EN members.
- I'm pretty sure the primary reason why Mika left Nijisanji was because she was angry at how ID was treated by the main branch. I don't think she would have ever gotten her 3D even if she had stayed.
- FWIW, Kamii has given an unusually strong endorsement of Enna. I am unaware of another ex-Niji member endorsing a current Niji member so strongly. The relevant tweets are here and here. Note that these tweets are after Kamii's trip to Japan.
General Notes
- The apostrophe rrat has been disproven - Doki is still sending tweets with the "Japanese apostrophe".Edit: people have complained about the skinwalking, so I've removed it. I think this makes my post more pro-Niji though.
- I also don't really believe in a "graduation queue". If the leaked contract is correct, then the most likely scenario is that Niji livers end their activities sometime in the last 3 months of their contract, and the remaning contract is voided. Kyo, Pomu, Mysta, and Nina all graduated between 3-5 months before their anniversary.
- Kotoka, Kyo, and Scarle are the only members to not RT the black stream. Meloco seemed to have been asleep and RTed after she woke up. Wilson and Fulgur QRTed the tweet after the stream.
- A note on which members went on big Niji trips.
- February 2023 Japan: Elira, Petra, Rosemi, Nina, Reimu, Luca, Shu, Ike, Mysta, Sonny, Uki, Meloco, Kotoka. Some members of Niji ID were also there.
- Montreal August 2023: Pomu, Elira, Rosemi, Nina (already graduated), Millie, Enna, Reimu, Shu, Ike, Vox, Uki, Alban, Kyo, Wilson.
- Iluna October Japan Trip 2023: Petra, Enna, Luca, Sonny, Meloco, Hex, Kotoka, and all of Iluna.
- December Nijifest 2023 (I'm not sure if I have everyone): Pomu, Rosemi, Petra, Millie, Enna, Luca, Sonny, Alban, Ren, all of XSoleil, Krisis, and TTT.
- Japan 2024 (post Selen termination): Finana, Petra, Millie, Luca, Shu, Vox, Meloco, Vanta, Wilson, Claude. Scarle, Enna, and Reimu came a bit later. Elira and Rosemi were also in Japan at the time but they didn't seem to interact with the others.
- There was a Luxiem-Noctyx trip in September 2023 and a Lazulight-Obsydia-Ethyria trip in October 2023. The AR live recording with the mocap suits probably took place during these trips. Pomu apparently wanted to join but was denied. This explains why Selen is in the recording but not any other members.
- Obsydia's 3D was probably recorded in Februrary 2024, and Ethyria's in March 2024. I think Luxiem is doing their recording right now.
- In 2022, Nijisanji promised to bring 13 members to Nijifes in August - everyone from Lazulight, Obsydia, and Ethyria, as well as Vox, Mysta, and Shu. (Luca complains about being left out in the Raziel doc). They somehow only manage to get 4 EN members - Elira, Petra, Selen, and Shu. Yugo later joins them for dinner as he is already in Japan.
- A lot of Niji EN members seemed to be pretty upset about the ID graduations (for example, Petra with Reza and Amicia).
- The other members of Hanamori that are associated with Niji are Shoto, Maia, and the artist 760ml_eri.
- It seems that the new contracts Niji ID signed after the mass exodus don't restrict PL activity, unlike other Niji contracts.
- I will note that the order for the black stream seems to have come from upper JP management, not from EN. Notably, Riku hasn't even fired a scapegoat for the black stream. I actually suspect that the order for the black stream might have come from Riku himself.
- There are rumors that Luxiem is purposefully not doing the 3.0 lottery. None of the members have been picked for the lottery so far.
- Favoritism in NijiEN seems to be based off some weird combination of CCV, Asian fanbase percentage, singing ability, and obedience to management. Based on Raziel's doc, nobody seems to know how the formula actually works.
- Holostars and Nijisanji EN have done a lot of collabs (I think every member of HoloTempus has done multiple collabs with Niji EN members). Hololive EN, not so much.
- Nijisanji seems to have blacklisted Ironmouse after Kuro's debut. Ironmouse was close to Elira, Pomu, Fulgur, Kyo, and Nina.
- It's possible based on Kuro's tweet about further skeletons in the closet that we are actually still at the beginning and that there are worse things hiding in Nijisanji and Nijisanji EN. Based on what we know so far, I'm actually shocked that the branch managed to survive for so long without a major incident.
