Why do we watch JP vtubers but JP bros don't watch our western chuubas?

Look at ERB's comments

If JP vtubers are good enough for you to watch them when you don't even understand them why on earth would you expect someone who does speak the language to choose anything else?

>>105828189
Are you retarded?

They just translate to English more. It's probably more embarrassing to write kanji into the void and get ignored than to write English in a JP stream.

better question is why would anyone watch western tubers when jp exists

Pretty sure Veibae was pretty popular out there

>>105828491
She really wasn't. She just had a japanese clipper during a time when EN vtubing was starting up in summer of 2020.

JOKE'S ON YOU BRAT, TOMORROW IS FRIDAY

Asian men don't like exotic women. True amwf couples(not counting hafus) are very rare in Japanese media.
Western men have a drive to colonize.

Many English speakers find the Japanese language/accent pleasant sounding, but I've heard that Japanese people don't find the English language as pleasant sounding. I'm not sure if it's true though.

Even Cece who lives in the worst time zone for JP bros has her gachis there

Gura was extremely popular with JP fans which helps explain why she had 4.7 million subscribers and could get over 100k viewers on major events. Fuwamoco are the only EN talents in a recent gen that have anything similar. The 2025 anniversary numbers indicate that there is less overlap between the EN branch and the JP branch.

She had less mindshare in Japan than all of the other nachoneko vtubers

Saba still has a pretty sizable JP fanbase. Always see them in chat and comments when she streams. GG and to a smaller degree CC have both been getting more JPs watching them. I don't watch Biboo, but I assume she has a decent chunk of them watching her too. Multilingual ENs obviously have some watching them as well.

>>105828125 (OP)
Who said they don't?
There are a bunch of channels on YT and other websites that translate EN vtubers with JP subs.
Gura famously has a lot of JP viewers.
Due to the Anny drama I took a look at some older clips yesterday and found out a bunch of old Anny clips subbed in JP on Bilibili.
That said, there's also to consider that JP bros seem to be a lot lazier when it comes to language. I've seen a bunch of JP viewers writing on chats of english speaking vtubers that answer to chat messages in japanese. When the vtuber reads and speaks their language, they seem more inclined to watch.

I also guess there are more weebs than westaboos in general, if anything because Japan is just a single small country, while people from all around the world can be weebs, so, simply larger pool.

>>105828125 (OP)
Huh?

Cali, Ina, Bae, IRyS, FWMC, and Biboo, are all very popular in the Japanese fanbase.

>>105828189
Did someone just say ERB comments?

>>105828125 (OP)
Luv kanade. Simple as.

>>105831000
Very cool anon, but those aren't comments

>>105831738
You got me there but isn't anything said a comment

Fair enough tomato, tomato and all that. I'd never really looked at that image, you can really tell she hadn't adapted to holo and was still acting like a no name indie. Also interesting to see some growth from her, she hardly talks in the homos chats anymore and when talks in the girls chats it's a much more reasonable number of messages.

cute

"we" don't watch JP all that much more than they watch EN

>>105828125 (OP)
There were a fuckton of JP fans at AFO this year. Everywhere you looked you'd see Japanese people and hear Japanese everywhere.

western chuubas are trash

JP fans do watch EN talents but the key thing is they have to have a beautiful or cute voice
Lots of JPs watch a chuuba I like because she has a sexy mommy voice and they have no idea what a dorky personality she actually has

Biboo seems pretty popular among the jp crowd these days

>>105848133
Biboo is honorary JP though

I'm looking and I'm not finding a single japanese comment

>>105850745
Look at MVs

>>105828125 (OP)
They do.

>>105850900
If she's popular in Japan she should have japanese comments under every upload. Just admit that she's not popular there.

>>105828125 (OP)
it's all about the quality

>>105850962
CiCi...

Gura truly is a pillar of Hololive and holds more mindshare than all of the girls sans Suisei and possibly Marine.

>>105828125 (OP)
Ran Takahashi would rather go back to Japan and fuck JAV actresses than sleep with the white pussies he could easily get in Italy.
CC could easily get food from random ojisan, but I never heard of her being hit on by sex-starved ojisan for so long in Japan.

Literally no one ever said this in this thread.
