Thread 104507928

You guys remember when Cynthia Harrell the singer of Snake Eater wanted to collab with Pomu (Mint) but Nijisanji said no.

>>104507928 (OP)
On one hand we're in the cursed timeline with no Pomu metal gear song and SNEAKING
On the other hand Mint is free from that hell hole.

>>104507928 (OP)
And now she has as Mint

I think it's funny as shit that they didn't even try to secure it for her and just let it go to Mori who produced one of the shittiest songs she's ever done and obviously gave zero fucks about MGS.

>>104508169
>>104508232
It was never going to be the song. It was undoubtedly just going to be sponsored game streams for MGS Collection Vol1. Recall that she said she heard it from another EN liver, meaning it would have been something that involved more than just her.

i personally am not a fan of the new recording of snake eater

>>104508420
>Once in a life time opportunity
>Same window as Mori getting the metal gear song
Pomu was absolutely going to get the song for MGS collection Vol 1 if Niji wasn't run by vindictive retards.

>>104508232
Pomu can’t write songs for shit you want something like fairy of akiberse but mgs?

>>104508720
The "once in a lifetime" opportunity was an album/record deal with a music artist that she liked. The didn't find out about this MGS sponsorship until after she graduated.

>>104508720
Only someone working with a label, like Calli with universal, would get any shot at doing a song for MGS. They wouldn't consider anyone without a label backing them up

>random vtuber gets into Metal Gear for the first time ever in 2022, literal decades after it first came out and long after the original creator stopped making games in the series
>everyone starts falling over each other to collab with her and she somehow becomes the official mascot of Metal Gear
>meanwhile me who has been into Metal Gear for much longer and nobody gives me anything
Make it make sense

>>104510301
Pekora is Kojima's oshi

>>104507928 (OP)
Remember when Harada wanted to add a Rosemi skin to Tekken but Nijisanji said no.

>>104510301
Are you a cute anime girl vtuber?

>>104510370
I do find it quite shallow of her, the way she's been "into" Metal Gear but has not touched a single Kojima game besides that. Not just Death Stranding. No Policenauts, no Snatcher, no Zone of the Enders. She'd rather play Metal Gear again than play any of these for the first time. No wonder Kojima just ignores her, her oshi is capitalism.

>>104510438
Maybe she likes Metal Gear for the fun stealth game part and not just the guy who made them. She's also not a film auteur like Kojima is, so she's missing half of the appeal of the series anyways

>>104507928 (OP)
>>104510372
It's about putting EN in their place, they're not allowed to take the spotlight from JP

>>104508737
>implying fairy of akiberse is a bad song
kys

>>104507928 (OP)
What happened with hololive this time

>>104508737
It's not like Sneaking itself is a well written song so does that really matter? On top of that im pretty sure Mori didn't write Sneaking herself, so the vtubers lyrical skills shouldn't be a significant factor. This is assuming Pomu was ever considered for the song of course, which is pure speculation.

>>104508420
She never even said it was a liver.

In fact, considering it was a haphazard leak, I'm far more inclined to believe Kiara was the one who mentioned it, as she could have heard from Mori about the original plan.

Hell, we don't have any confirmation that she met with any employed niji during the period from graduation to redebut, and to date, the only confirmed one was Ike's one-sided mention of seeing her.
(Likely at a meet and greet)

>>104508871
>>104509148
Can you prove Konami wouldn't do that? It seems totally out of left field for Mori when Pomu was the metal gear fanatic and while she didn't have a label, Nijisanji still has massive influence.

>>104510877
If Pomu was given the song like intended, there is less than zero chance it would be anything like Sneaking.
It would either be in line with either what Cynthia Harrell or Nana Mizuki sang.

>>104510722
they allow EN but only for dabois

>>104510438
Mint should get Kojima to autograph her Snake's Revenge cart.

>>104510438
She likes Metal Gear specifically. Not Kojima in general.

>>104510485
Lmao she likes MGS for the fujo aspect of it. I remember when Mintara was on that she said to Matara to just shut her brain off because the story is mumbo jumbo

>>104510301
Huh it was 2022 for her? Lame all cool points gone

>>104512491
Why do people like her again

>>104512581
Because she's cute and entertaining

>>104512581
The ceiling for a good VTuber in EN is incredibly low nowadays so you take what you can get.

>>104512581
she's a pickme and mgsfags like that

>>104512198
Has Mint played the non kojima metal gear games or Death Stranding?

>>104513182
being a Snake x Ocelot shipping fujo is pickme behavior? mgsfags like stinky fujos obsessing over yaoi scenarios with the guys in the series?

>>104513573
NTA but I feel mgsfags will literally take anything they can get. their primary goal is to scream in chat about every stupid easter egg and detail. Any girl who will sit through that for them for any reason, even if its fujoshit, is suitable. they don't even care about Delta being ugly dogshit from Kojima's backstabbers done without his permission, they just want to type in chat that The End can die of old age all over again

>>104513509
She's played MGR and Ghost Babel, and said she'll play Snake's Revenge at some point. Pretty sure Kojima had a hand in every other MG game besides those.
She played Death Stranding for a bit but ended up dropping it.

>>104513851
Why would anyone play Snake's Revenge?

>>104514496
For completion's sake, I guess

>>104514667
Completion or curiosity is the only thing that makes sense.

>>104512071
Always with accessories I see.

>>104507928 (OP)
Niji really was retarded and evil. What even is the point of denying opportunities like this?
They made her cry. I'll never forgive them for that.

>>104513509
She played the non kojima metal gears, yes. She seems to have zero interest in Death Stranding.
She even floated the idea of forcing Doki to play Metal Gear Survive with her.

>>104515988
tl;dr the nijiEN director had a conflict of interests against konami

>>104510372
I don't

>>104510372
Wait WHAT! for real? why go against that? its free advertising

>>104513851
Pomu also played Portable Ops.

>>104516813
Welcome to Nijisanji, where merit and actual moneymaking is lower priority to harassing your employees and "punishing" them for wanting you to do your job

>>104508198
Is this fake? I can't find any video.

I remember when Mint was a bigger traitor than Ocelot because she was working for VSJ

>>104516710
Harada was somehow obsessed with her despite being an EN Niji, which I only point out like this because even Westaboo prime still has a Japanese rabbit as his oshi.
Who knows, maybe Harada is also the schizo that keeps her threads alive at all costs.

>>104510877
>On top of that im pretty sure Mori didn't write Sneaking herself
what gave it away

>>104517052
>Is this fake?
Probably, Mint/Pomu barely escapes the vtuber bubble, so her fans make up fake reactstuff all the time. There are a bunch of images some guy made to pretend 8bit drummer did like 12 videos on her and all of them are fake.

>>104516813
Plenty of reason to say no
>They feel like it isn't worth it
>Couldn't agree on the economical split, who gets how much of the price tag
>Niji probably wanted more skins than just one of their models but Harada or the suits only wanted one.

>>104517091
I remember that but I didn't remember Niji ever saying no.

>>104510301
>official mascot
>meanwhile Mori is the one with the song and Pekora is the one Kojima put in his game
Pomu tards are so delusional

>>104517100
>>104510877
As shit as the songs regular version is, Mori somehow turned it into a hype as fuck banger during her solo live, by basically changing everything but the lyrics.

>>104516068
Interesting, not judging her or anyone when at some point there will be a split in the MSG fandom. A majority either stick with Konami's new MG or goes with Kojima and his sneaking stealth anime movie legally distinct metal gear game whatever physint ends up becoming.

Meh,
Mint got to do Phantom Pain cover with Zun and Kojima project thing

I think Mama Cockroach had something to do with it as she is in same Talent Union as Konima

>>104517297
That split happened years ago, apparently. They're just different fanbases now

>>104517052
It's from a mgs con she was doing a panel at.

>>104517286
That's because it was the lotus juice version.
https://youtu.be/56SfTg1aWe4?

>>104517347
Hard to say it already happened. Neither Death Stranding or Survive are the same kind of game stealth sneaking action game. With the remake of 3 seems like Konami plans to actually make new metal gear games and Kojima seems like they will announce Phsyint as a ps6 game.So whenever that comes out people will actually pick sides unless somehow both games are good.

>>104517382
damn

Probably same reason everyone at Hololive old enough was thrilled to meet her(and oddly Bibo and Kobo who should be to young but apparently her group was popular in South East Asian Jpop Geekdom)

Mint isn't a Jpop Idol Wannabe, she used to be in Hajirai Rescue in the early 2000s and she is recognizable on site in Japan to most Jpop fans of right age much like Kiara(Tone Jewel) and FuwaMocco (SeiSHUN Gakuen)

>>104516210
Ah, that explains is then. How petty.

>>104517189
That's fucking stupid
Basically saying no to free money where Niji doesn't have to do any of the work

>>104512491
She's... not entirely wrong

>>104507928 (OP)
BASED BASED BASED BASED

>>104512071
God what the fuck man, they obvious do not want the females anymore just let them go ffs

>>104507928 (OP)
wtf

>>104517100
She only had a lyric credit because she fixed grammar issues with the song. This whole thread is pretty retarded actually. Mori already gave the rundown of how she got picked. A dude at Konami who was in charge of marketing saw her on Japanese TV and decided off that that they wanted her to sing the song. Mori even questioned the lyrics herself when she was handed them, but they specifically wanted a silly shitpost song to market the collection with inside Japan. Pomu was not even in the equation at all and if by some randoma ss chacne they picked her she would have been singing the same lyrics.

>>104517182
So you've already been proven wrong on this particular video, but turns out you're making up the thing about 8bitdrummer too and he has covered her. Do you get off on lying? What the fuck do you gain from this?

>>104508198
all well that end well

Didn't she graduate like a week later? You think japs can pass permissions for anything in less than 6 months?

>>104508198
>>104517052
It's from the recent MGScon, it was privately streamed. If you want to find it you can check the archive. I don't know what other shitposting is going on in the thread, but you can find that video.

I'm pretty sure the "once in a lifetime" thing was related to doing something with nijicon, she had just recently released a cover of one of their songs and was exchanging replies with some members, but management probably wasn't happy about her arranging things on her own, the mgs thing was just a shitpost because of the calli song and most likely was never a thing at all for pomu

>>104508232
gotta love Niji

>>104517491
Well yeah. Hence me saying they split. They're not the same fanbase
>>104533266
She outright said that the one that made her quit was niji turning down a record deal.
This was entirely separate and came out like half a year later.

>>104510301
Dude i have been a metal gear fan since i was 8 years old and played it on my NES in the mid 90s, MGS has been a part of my whole life and Minto is my Oshi and even though she has been a fan for a few years at least she is authentic in her liking for the series, I don't hate Mori but the fact that she doesn't know anything about metal Gear and doesn't care and yet Konami wanted to work with her irritates me a bit, it also bothers me that fags like Connour was invited to delta's NY preview event.
The sad reality is that for companies to give you free shit these days is to have a lot of clout online even if you're not a fan.

>>104510438
Pekora is the noombers chuba everything that gives her numbers is what she is a fan of, when she played Dragon ball kakarot and it gave her huge numbers (almost 80k CCV) she "magically" became a fan of the saga.

>>104510438
MGS gave her numbers in Nijisanji, but for Mint they are some of the least watched streams yet she doesn't care, she doesn't even mind having a severe skill issue in these games

>>104511830
Konami has made stupid decisions non stop for years though. Hate on Niji all you want but at least hate on them for verifiable stuff not stuff that's been disproven.
To further give you an example, why did they choose Mori for MGS when she knew nothing of the franchise and peko had a ton of memes about her playthrough.
Why is it that even after the song, HoloEN still don't have full perms for the series

>>104540285
Mori was hired because a suit saw Mori on jap TV and liked what he heard, that's it. How often do you think the singers companies hire are fans of the series they are doing work for? Mori was a fan of the series though and played a couple games in the past, just wasn't a super fan like Pomu.

>>104540285
NTA but the perms thing is still hilarious. It's like that time azur lane brought back the holo characters but they still weren't allowed to play it.

there's a reason nijiEN is in a piss-soaked grave

>>104507928 (OP)
>remember
no, I don't watch niji trash, whether current or former.

>>104542417
Why did you clicked then you fucking retard? Are you that obsessed about a company you supposedly don't give a fuck about?
