Are HoloEN big merch sellers in Japan are or are they literally expecting the other Holo members to all be buying it up?

All jokes aside it's been long enough that they really need to sort out some sort of international distribution that isn't a 2-3x MSRP cost for consumers, because they are leaving a lot of money on the table.

yeah, i was extremely willing to drop $40 on a takodachi

i'm not paying $80 for one, that's ridiculous. I could understand them not looking for better international shipping when it was for the japanese idols, but why would they not do so for the EN branch?

Has it really been long enough? Hololive itself only blew up in popularity since last year and HoloMyth has only been around for 11 months. I would not be surprised if they are considering better distribution but I can also see the difficulties of trying to secure a foreign venture in the midst of a pandemic. They could also try to partner with an existing Japanese company that ships globally like Amiami or even Amazon.jp.

The actual sales numbers aren't public, but there seem to be a decent number of Japanese HoloEN fans. Clippers, live translators, and "I don't know what that anime girl is saying but it sure sounds cute" were enough to create a fair-sized Hololive fanbase outside of Japan even before HoloEN debuted, after all.

I have no idea how the numbers shake out, but I suspect the problem has a lot to be to do with HoloEN debuting in the middle of a plague that's caused considerable shakeups to all kinds of physical manufacturing and shipping. It's not really a great time to be expanding their physical presence to other countries.

How did she even conceive of this structure? This thing is insane and she's done it all by herself, but she's clearly had a plan this whole time that she's been building to.

As far as I know, she's just working off the Pieter Bruegel paintings. Also, she originally started on the EN server, but had to tear it down when she got kicked off the server.. Now all that's left is a grave and a big red heart.

If it isn't clear in the over head view HAACHAMA's Tower of Babel is the polygon at the top right of the map. And she started it's construction around the time the summer sports festival was being built. I don't think most of HoloJP know exactly what it is other then it's impressively large. I'm assuming she'll build until the skybox stops her or lightning hits the giant wooden structure.

Can you imagine this thing on the EN server? It'd be bigger than the entire EN base, tower over most of it, and be the most ambitious construction project on the server by several orders of magnitude.
