The fact it was all empty for Niji is crazy, then we have a room full of people with hololive.

The price they're charging at niji for a glorified karaoke is genuinely an insult to the fans. Millie's model needed to turn on vsync because that thing was screen tearing like mad. She's not going anywhere. She's moving side to side. They handed Millie's name those L's on purpose 💀

The Niji event looked like it was just a stream projected onto a screen. Like you were going to the cinemas to watch a live stream. Whereas Hololive's concert is an actual concert.

As a Singaporean I didn’t even know the event existed there was no ads for it here whatsoever LOL

Nijisanji: Pay 4+ Star prices for at best a 2 Star experience. Hololive: Pay only 2 Star prices for a 4+ Star experience.

This is to show the great difference between professional dedicated staff and two months contract high school part timers.

I like how both Rhapsody and DreamHack occurred at the same time. It’s the IRL version of Jack’s backstory where Pinocchio gets all the attention.

Jeez, Niji really is trying to squeeze every yen it can out of EN before they nuke it.

best part of the hololive event was when the crowd shouted JDON MY SOUL at bae LOLOLOL

Performing for an empty audience must be one of the worst feelings. Many years ago I organized a fundraiser concert with just me and a few friends performing and I'm pretty sure I had more people in the audience than this. I hope for the perfomers' sake they weren't told/didn't know the venue was empty until after the performance was over.

Millie having 3 Ls isn't a spelling mistake, it's Accurate She keeps taking Ls just like Niji

The event looks like a glorified powerpoint lecture with darker lights

Niji EN still hasn't addressed their controversies. People assume all the rumors are true, and no one has defended themselves or clarified anything. How could anyone care at this point.

We are beginning to see the difference in investing in your paycheck vs investing in your talents. The way Yagoo seems to truly care about his employees (not just the talents but everyone in their company) is truly something special. He’s got a skill and a passion that some other ceo seems to be lacking.

Damn this is just Sad now. Their CEO attended Someone else's Concert but not theirs. I watched the Free Preview of DreamHack and the Fans Were so Hyped up it became Annoyingly amusing. The difference is just Great now.

I only feel bad for the talent, imagin walking into a stage thinking your fans are there but they're not, that wouldve crush my self-esteem if that were me.

Remember, everyone: "Negligible"

I would really like to know where Nijisanji puts their money because they clearly dont invest it back into the business which as a business owner myself boggles the f**king mind because its a horrible choice you can make and almost ensures your failure. How does niji talent not have a 3D model? completely unreal to me.

The concert colors seem off, kinda like my old gpu before it died, where it would have pink, purple or yellow saturation, causing the colors to appear too bright or have an off color look to them. Someone should have looked over on how it looked, like a technician and see if they couldnt fix it.

Every time I see any of the latest Niji "concerts" it reminded me of that one story of the indie vtuber who held a FREE concert and people give him all the bad reviews. At least he is an indie, not a multi millionaire company

I wonder how the livers feel. Confused at why so many people not attending haha that is actual karma right there.

Sometimes I’m still surprised they are still able to keep going without thinking back

I expected low quality trash. But I didn't expected what I saw lol. And the fact that like 25-30 people attended makes it more sad. Meanwhile Hololive in Melbourne is a big success! Even they are surprised because according to them it should've been less than half of what they got.

As a singaporean, I didn’t know this happened

*Conglatulation* to *Millle* for her performance

$110 concert, $7/hour employees tells you everything you need to know.

I honestly feel awful about this. Some of those talents definitely deserve the reality check but some of them are just casualties and it makes me sad that they have to go through this

Dude last year, HoloID held SEA concert with 4 member (Moona,Risu,Reine,Kobo) and its all 3D on professional stage, New song made by famous indonesian song writer also cheaper ticket too. Compare to NijiEN Rhapsody its like day and night.

2:51 damn, Luca and Uki sit next to each other?!?!?! That's crazy... 😅

Slight correction. Niji is not a multi-billion dollar company anymore. It is currently just shy of being a one-billion dollar company. (Their actual value is much lower, but apples to apples on market cap they've dropped 65% from 2022 peak, and about 40% from the 2024 high in February) Negligible.

Ah, I remember times when fans comparing Niji and Holo concert like Holo more Idolish and Niji more Chaotic/Free, how time has change..

they most likely invited what small crowd was there to move up closer to the screen to make the optics look better 😂

When I saw that price comparison, my jaw dropped. That, with the spelling issue shit, and then, the quality of the shows, Jesus Christ Niji, you greedy pricks, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

The fact that you can see the mouse cursor. OH NO! This is not good.

This is a perfect example of 'you reap what you sow'

Good heavens, the fact that there are so many empty chairs speaks volumes. Nijisanjis yacht keeps on sinking deeper and deeper. But remember, this is the result of their poor decisions for months now.

Our expectations for VR was low, but HOLY FUCK!

It's almost like they don't want to admit overwhelming defeat. They might have been able to damage control if they took iniative very early. But they didn't cut their losses, they take this opportunity to double down as they have nothing to lose. Pathetic.

Damn, Khyo is almost at 100k. He's gonna get his own play button!

remember that time those ninji talents got caught trash talking hololive as inferior.

It should be noted: It's almost guaranteed that Niji-staff is blaming the talents for the low turn-out. The talents are probably getting verbally abused and punished by staff and being made to feel like it was all their fault. If you want to mock Nijisanji over this (which they absolutely deserve) remember to do it from a perspective that the talents are victims in this and deserve better (better than Niji).

It's like membership only pre recorded karaoke

Lmao that "cursor dance" got me😂

Singaporean here, not surprised , there were no ads whatsoever, no one was talking about it, only time i heard about this event was when i watched Khyo. Plus, i dont think Singaporeans would take one 1-day leave for this event.

Alright I'll be the one to say it, Nijisanji is a SCAM COMPANY. I don't know what more proof do you need; Livers barley earn any money and can go into debt, workplace conditions are a free for all basically, and the fans get fed low quality products. Like where is Niji's money even going at this point?! Riku needs to be investigated cause something is not adding up here.

the niji concert was just a glorified collab stream. no effort whatsoever but the nijishitters ate that up

😢I remember reading a comment that said, "if they make selen graduate it will be a big L for nijiEN" and sure enough, the fact that Selen was terminated made things even worse I'm starting to feel sorry for the livers that aren't involved in the drama,

I just noticed while watching this video, something that makes the millie misspelling even more embarrassing is they spell it right on the very same slide. The part in big yellow letters has 3 L's but the lower right has her name spelled correctly. Wth

Obviously the Nijisisters will only flock towards the male livers but still with that price for a 2D karaoke is just mind blowing. I’d rather pay $140 to watch the Fishman’s girls create chaos

Putting aside everything that happened so far, all the dramas etc., at this point I just feel bad for livers in Niji

it's just a matter of time before Riku cost cuts and relegate nijiEN to the same status as KR,ID,IN hahahaha it's going to be really funny when that happens

This makes me sad. Coming to an event as a performer, expecting a warm reception just to see that only a hand full of people care would absolutely destroy me. I didn't watch the event, even digitally, but I do respect the talents if they managed to hold themselves together during their performance. But I also feel bad for the fans that were looking forward to the event. Showing up in person, looking forward to feeling some comradery and sense of community and not only being one of the only people in an empty room, but also paying for the privilege to see a very low quality production must make you feel pretty dumb. I really hope the appropriate lessons are being learned, because at this point the only people happy are probably the ones looking for a trashfire.

that was straight up embarrassing. and the ticket price comparison it almost looked like it got swapped or something golly.

Dreamhack concert was so good! The most hype song was ollie, reine, and marine doing blue clapper!!!!!

It is kinda expected for that Niji live event to be almost empty with all drama they had

The Miku Expo Concert Event is much better than the Virtual Rhapsody Nijisanji concert.

As a Singaporean and an avid niji fan, I’d like to say: yes I knew about this performance but I didn’t go. There’s quite a few factors actually: 1. They started marketing this event on social media not long after the whole selen/doki controversy so obviously it was when a lot of people decided to take a break from nijisanji (including myself) 2. I don’t think it was marketed outside of social media (other than 1 Instagram page I didn’t see any other info about it) 3. The tickets are expensive. (Do keep in mind that Singapore had just went through like 3 concert fevers from Taylor Swift, Cold Play and Bruno Mars so a lot of people are broke + I’m just a zero income student so I can’t afford) 4. All the other avid cosplayers and otakus were at another anime convention (Doujima and AFAID) during the same weekend. 5. While a large portion of otakus are adults with disposable income, another large portion of otakus are also students who are busy studying (most students have tuition etc. on the weekends so the event being held on a random Saturday and not during the holidays does not help) * otakus in this sense would be niji’s target audience

Honestly, it's almost unfair to compare Niji concerts to Holo concerts since the two company really doesn't focus on the same things. But watching Niji get slammed for the shit their EN branch does is really satisfying.

The people who make the decisions in nijisanji especially on the en side got to be the dumbest people ever. Like who set up there and thought it would be a good idea for a 100 dallor concert with just 2D while your rival agency having a 70 dallor concert with 3D.

i still remember when Niji EN mocking or laughing Hololive EN on Discord, and look at them now XD

A houndred and WHAT?????? Holy...

Man the crappy quality of the event makes me kind of feel bad for the talents… Niji won’t pay for them to actually have anything decent, just leech off them for cash

So where are the nijisisters who swore they're gonna protect the company and their "precious" top favorite livers? I thought they are capable of supporting them till death

For those outrageous prices they demanded, I would expect a masterpiece. But it's Niji, sooo.... they didn't even try. Not only was Hololive cheaper, but their performance was many leagues above them. Also MILLLE? I know they are taking L's, but that's ridiculous.... 💀

The fact Nijisanji shows that thier talents can perform in 3D via AR Live gives hope the Virtual Rapsody is a surprise 3D concert but its just a blatant money grab scheme

The fact that Shu is the only one in this concert that isn't problematic is insane.

Nijisanji EN’s demise proceeding full speed.

I was at the dreamhack venue and the quality between Dreamhack and what i saw of Virtual Rhapsody was shocking.

The crowd at hololive were amazing. (My voice is gone still lol)

And then there is Ducky who i was on DreamHack. Literally one of the people who is thought to be a hardcore Nijisister, was at a Hololive Event. I guess he can't beat the weasel allegations too.

What they're doing there is what they're doing on a normal karaoke stream. It's just that the screen is a lot bigger lmaooo

I feel sad for ONE of the livers being a part of this, empty and expensive karaoke stream which the management called "A CONCERT" Meanwhile in Hololive, now that's what you call "A CONCERT"

The yacht is at the bottom of the ocean and it still manages to catch on fire Like something out of spongebob

I can't help but think the Niji event would have been fine and well put together for a small but enthusiastic Vtuber company that is still finding it's feet. The problem is that Niji is well established, fairly large, and really should be pushing the benchmark with Hololive instead of struggling to keep up.

Niji gonna Niji, what a joke.

This is the karma i want for nijisanji, not the harassment on Twitter

110 USD FOR A NORMAL SEAT 💀 Btw, they wrote Milllie's name accurate. She just took another L with her so it kinda fits the lore.

The contrast between this and their Anime Impulse reception earlier this year is tragic. Such a massive fall from grace.

Tbh I have two friends who are fans and I just have to play along with them because it is making them happy. But even they are disappointed with the company, they don’t put any money into niji thank god and they were sad to see everything go down. I’ve tried multiple times to say just ignore the shit going on and watch who they want and that I will look at the stuff going on. They were really upset and them being upset made me upset like idk what to do now…

Give the people what they want. First rule of business. You take care of your customers and they will take care of you.

Their audience are like their heart... Its empty

This is just really sad. I pity the remaining loyal nijisanji fans. The niji management is just straight up extorting both their talents and their fans so that they can afford buying yachts.

Genuinely feel bad for the livers that have had to push through this last few months that werent involved at all. A bunch of these talents will have been basically forced into doing this and hold the role of face of the event while the bs team in charge of actually setting up and running the event in the background did a god-awful job of it. Mis-spelling Millie's name on the exact same slide as the correct spelling, the cursor, the shoddy venue setup, the fucking PRICE???? awful.. Pleading to all of the livers to refuse contract renewals at all costs.

The comparison between the two events can actually go beyond just the production value, but really the sheer difference in company cultures. The fact that Hololive can send talents from all three branches shows how well it's worked to have the branches consistently collab, interact, and form real friendships with each other. The fact that they set up a full 3D concert shows that they care more about supporting the talents and their creativity wherever they are in the world, whereas Niji is infamous for hoarding their 3D assets and equipment within Japan. And the fact that Holo put in this much effort for a sub-event of a much larger gaming event shows genuine humility and also pragmatic good sense in trying to introduce adjacent fandoms to vtubers. I don't really want to come off as a fanboy, but these are all values that don't just come with every company out there, let alone all together in a single one.

As a Filipino, I'm happy for what Millie, and Nijisanji is experiencing right now because I now they deserved this 😂

2024 is good mannn, as a long time holo fan, i finally can freely mock at nijisanji without getting hated now damnn

3:41 OMG YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE CURSOR, on the left purple bow and then on the neck, bro... that's so shit...

That ticket price........

I live in singapore and i didnt even realise there's a niji event.... but i even know about the dreamhack appearance lol

Niji truly is thriving In EMBARRASSMENT

Im a Vtuber in Singapore and I didn't even know this was happening 😭 there was no advertising for it whatsoever

Its like the Willie Wonka Experience all over again

This is just heartbreaking. It must be so frustrating to be a talent of nijisanji rn.

Man, it must be a performer's worst nightmare to see empty hall on your show you were so excited for.

Why are we surprised these events failed? Considering how much work Selen now Doki put into these kinds of things without her they will flop

7:43 Lmao Millie literaly just taking another L

No, no, they didn't misspell Millie's name, she just took that L after the Niji Drama

I do watch Riku's tweet. The fact that he attend someone else's concert but not the livers really shows that Riku doesn't care about the livers, he care about his money and a bunch of yes man (and bootlicker as well) to take care of his yacht.

Another day, another niji drama

yeah...i'm feeling this could be their last straw to be in the company.
