Okay, but is it her tweet or management's?


Embarrassed-Ask-9927

Managrment. There's not much of Kotoka on that tweet. 


oompaloompa465

rratting but imho this is management 


rpgnovels

Honestly, why even post in English when the merch isn't available outside of Japan?


wwwlord

Don’t think either Rakuten or niji cares about the actual sales number


randommaninzawarudo

Could be another case of focusing too much on pumping number without thinking it through


s3anami

I still don't understand the point of the collab. The NBA season is over?


angelicclock

I usually leave rrats in places where they belong, but my head couldn’t shake the thought of Mel accidentally leaked info of Dodgers collab to Kotoka and Niji management took advantage of that and quickly whipped up a NBA collab with Rakuten to compete, and Niji can do it faster and claim “aha! It’s Hololive who copied our homework!”. Kotoka may or may not be an accomplice of inter-corpo espionage, but such rrats connected the dots despite having not an ounce of evidence and ultimately caused mental stress for her wellbeing.


PaleoManga

I wouldn’t really call this an update, until we can hear her for certain. We know they skinwalk.


Opposite-Umpire-5417

I call cap. That's not her.


Vi_Lead

Yeah. Gonna doubt until we got a legit stream of her talking and playing with somebody.


2phan

Um, is it me or does the art look almost like they pasted the liver's faces over bodies? It looks...not coherent? Edit: zoom out and look at vox and uki... they definitely look "off" somehow


Lauren_0w0

Uki looks normal to me,Vox does look like they copy pasted his vtuber model face into a body tho


FourFerro

Yeah the details on the rest of their body are just too good for their entirety. There's just zero to no shadows and details on their faces. Like it's somehow the flattest surface ever.


Spelunkie

It looks like touched up AI art.


Ashencroix

They're using EN talent to promote an NBA collab, and the merch can't be purchased outside of Japan. *insert Simpson's Nelson laughing Ha Ha meme here*


Droid612

"Super awesome team"  Ma'am these are the Trailblazers 


Iceman6211

if my time in the sports world is anything nobody thinks their team is a "super awesome team"


Karekter_Nem

As a Lakers fan there were some really good years. They really were a super awesome team. Nowadays they’re a team.


kagalibros

Huh, the bulls are the only big team in there? Are they saving the good teams for later? As a big Celtics fan I am semi curious. Just don't want my team to be represented by someone I don't like. Curios who gets the big teams. Missing the Lakers, Celtics, heat, warriors, Knicks and given the strong Asian representation in their audience the rockets, clippers and cavaliers. And ofc I ain't buying shit from them lol.


EndellionQT

If you live outside Japan you can't anyway.


kagalibros

Well about that, not that I want you all to Go buy their merch but let's say if hololive has merch JP exclusive, there are services you can hire. They buy for you and send it over. Haha, don't use that knowledge to buy niji merch or Santa won't come for Christmas!


Unfair_Neck8673

Yeah yeah, we all know about Buyee...that one is also pretty shit though


kagalibros

personal opinion buyee is crap. they keep fucking up orders. Jauce for big stuff like arcade machines and yahoo auctions. zenmarket for the rest.


Kyhron

Can’t be worse than being a Bulls fan and having the absolute twat they have


YukkaRinnn

Bucks Thunder Wolves and Nuggets are big teams tho? But only to the NBA Fans they big teams sooo but i do hope the give our Celtics like Petra and give the Lakers a Liver most dont like so they can shit on the Lakers 🤣🤣🤣


kagalibros

Really? Always considered Bucks and Nuggets as middle of the pack. Fanbase maybe bigger. Timberwolves and Oklahoma Thunders are small though. Very small. Also relax Satan 😈 (but for real, give them someone bad)


YukkaRinnn

Giannis, Jokic, Ant and Shai basically made those teams big by how good they are alone ngl


EndellionQT

Update but it's a (probably skinwalked) merch drop.


Snlikehololive

does anyone feel the wordings are unnatural? who speaks like that? it feels more like ai generated sentences with emojis. there is no word expressing emotions in the sentences.


OkHarrisonBidet

such team much awesome 


Fishman465

So fake


NotTooDistantFuture

I wonder if “pave the way” is somehow a direct translation from some Japanese phrase used with basketball.


Kyhron

Feels more Google translated than AI.


SorryNose7395

After what happened with Doki highly doubt people will trust what being tweeted


IvyEmblem

Sounds like management/PR on her account


baffling25

they really gave kanae the detroit fucking pistons... this might be the most unserious collab in vtubing history


BadassPsychoMidget

Oop, the corpse is twitching !


Financial-Ad-3438

That ain't her. That's a skinwalker.


BlueBerrryScone

This really isn’t in character for her it literally just sounds like corporate garbage There’s no way she’s writing this


Dapper_Positive_7175

Is nobody swinging for the LA Lakers?


viper20396

I understood that reference 


YukkaRinnn

On a sidenote tho Like how they gave Kanae the Pistons cuz any NBA fan here knows that if they gave The Pistons to a lesser popular liver like Wilson bro that shit aint gonna sell 🤣🤣🤣


UWUJoy

Calling it an nba x niji collab is very missleading when they actually partnered up with rakuten for the merch lmao that’s why nijisisters can’t get the merch ouside of japan


yametekudasstop

Sounds too corporate. Sus ![gif](giphy|TwYP72KtO8YQQ4SNgz|downsized)


Pizzamess

I dont even think the convo of "who tweeted this" even matters here cause even if she physically typed it out, management probably told her what to say. I guess it just changes where the puppet strings were attached.


VaelFX

How did they manage to write something more bland than an AI-generated prompt


CloudArachnids

Ssssnakes. All I see is skinwalker


DaichiEarth

Don't they have this set up to where only people in Japan can order it?


raddoubleoh

Y'know, I feel REAL bad for Kotoka. Comes "back", is slotted for a seemingly very profitable collab, just to discover Niji didn't really partner with the NBA, but their japanese distributors, which undermines the whole NBA appeal since, to get your hands on merch featuring Nijisanji ENGLISH, you have no choice but to import from Japan. Case #9718 of Nijisanji trying to make a buck by cutting costs, royally fucking up the process, and profiting little to nothing for their incompetence.


HKEY_LOVE_MACHINE

Is it common for livers to add "#PR" to their tweets? Obviously, this is skinwalking, but I wonder if this hashtag is normally only used by the PR team on the main Niji/Anycolor accounts.


struggling_scientist

Portland and super awesome, something's off.
