NIJISANJI

<p>NIJISANJI Livers usually stream with iPhone facial motion capture technology, <a href="https://www.live2d.com/en/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Live2D models</a> rigged in-house by ANYCOLOR, and the NIJISANJI app (commercially unavailable). This method is technically simpler and much less expensive than full-body 3D motion tracking equipment, but mobility is typically limited to facial features, head rotation, and limited upper body movement. These models suffered from many stuttering and accuracy issues in NIJISANJI's early days, but such issues are seen less often today as their technology has improved over time.</p> <p>After debuting, Livers may receive 2.0 and 3.0 brushups, which expand their range of movement and allow for more facial expressions. 2.0 brushups were distributed randomly at first, but have been distributed per wave since 2021. 3.0 brushups began in 2021 with new expressions, further expanded movements and toggle options, and are distributed to random members through a lottery system. Those with 3D models are also eligible to receive 3D brushups, which are also announced through Twitter. Updates of any kind are tagged with #にじあぷで on Twitter.</p> <p>As of November 2022, 146 Livers from NIJISANJI have received 2.0 brushups. Since 2022, all members already begin with 2.0.</p> <p>As of March 2024, 92 NIJISANJI Livers (85 JP, 2 ID and 5 KR), and 16 NIJISANJI EN Livers have received 3.0 brushups.</p> <p>In addition to Live2D and conventional full-body 3D motion capture, NIJISANJI also supports "Niji 3D" (<em>にじ3D</em>), which allows Livers to stream using their 3D models without a studio. The range of motion for Niji 3D is limited to the upper body and hand tracking.</p> <p>As of December 2024, 106 Livers from NIJISANJI's main branch (104 JP, 1 ID, 1 KR) have received 3D models (including Livers who have used their models in events but have not had their YouTube debut yet) and 7 have received 3D brushups, while 16 Livers from NIJISANJI EN have received 3D models.</p>

<p>Prior to April 2022, NIJISANJI's main branch consisted of Japanese-speaking Livers and catered to Japanese audiences, so it was sometimes unofficially referred to as "NIJISANJI JP" to distinguish it from overseas branches. The Indonesian and Korean branches merged with the main branch on 15 April 2022. Members=</p> <p>|-|Former Members=</p>

Aside from that, the students also have acting, dancing, singin and other classes alongside streaming. Upon completion, the graduate may be given the offer to debut as NIJISANJI Liver, freely move to other agencies or be indie.</p> <p>Some of VTA's former students who debuted as NIJISANJI Livers are: <a href="/wiki/Umise_Yotsuha" data-wiki-target="Umise Yotsuha">Umise Yotsuha</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ponto_Nei" data-wiki-target="Ponto Nei">Ponto Nei</a>, <a href="/wiki/Amagase_Muyu" data-wiki-target="Amagase Muyu">Amagase Muyu</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fura_Kanato" data-wiki-target="Fura Kanato">Fura Kanato</a>, <a href="/wiki/Watarai_Hibari" data-wiki-target="Watarai Hibari">Watarai Hibari</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shikinagi_Akira" data-wiki-target="Shikinagi Akira">Shikinagi Akira</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Seraph_Dazzlegarden" data-wiki-target="Seraph Dazzlegarden">Seraph Dazzlegarden</a>.

<p>Based in Shanghai and in Taipei, these branches were NIJISANJI's first presence overseas. Referred to as <strong>NIJISANJI VTuber Project</strong> (二次三次虚拟主播企划), it was created and fully operated by CAPSULE Inc. with ANYCOLOR (at the time, Ichikara) providing branding and technical support.</p> <p>The branches began running from 24 August 2018. However, CAPSULE lost the license for the "NIJISANJI" brand and they abandoned the name on 29 March 2019, changing their name to <strong>VEgo</strong>.</p>

<p>By the end of March 2019, with Saitania as its sole remaining member, the Shanghai branch had been deprecated and merged with the Taipei branch to form VEgo.</p>

<p>By the end of February 2020, VEgo only had one active member left, Talency, and finally ceased operations along with her retiring on 31 March 2020.</p>

<ul><li>NIJISANJI can be represented as the number 2434, the reason being that when you say the numbers out loud in Japanese, it phonetically sounds like “ni” (ニ), “ji” (四) “san” (三), and “ji”, so this is sometimes seen in their material. During live-streams, fans sometimes donate 2434 yen (~$18.64 USD).</li><li>NIJISANJI is often represented using the rainbow emoji (niji) and 3 o'clock emoji (sanji). Livers use this to represent their affiliation with NIJISANJI while fans use it to show that they are fans of NIJISANJI.</li><li>ANYCOLOR Inc. is run by Tazumi Riku, the CEO and founder of the company and since 2021, executive officer at the Overseas VTuber Division. He has made appearances on the NIJISANJI YouTube channel and is even the inspiration behind some of the membership emojis. He has his own <a href="https://twitter.com/riku_tazumi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/rikutazumi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">YouTube channel</a>.</li><li>NIJISANJI used to be run the by Iwanaga Taiki, the former COO of ANYCOLOR Inc. He switched to running SLEE, an idol group that used to be under ANYCOLOR, after he started undergoing treatment for cancer. He has now gone into remission and has left ANYCOLOR to become the president of Yokaze Inc, where he will continue to run SLEE. His Twitter is <a href="https://twitter.com/187g3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>. He sometimes does live-streams as a female-looking VTuber named <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGCb4Dts1uYtciya3wvd6dg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Iwanaga-chan</a> whose Twitter is <a href="https://twitter.com/187g3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</li><li>NIJISANJI's app has a mascot called Yugamin. Livers can stream as Yugamin instead of their usual forms as Yugamin has a Live2D model. Yugamin was designed by <a href="https://twitter.com/mamimumemonoma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ほーじろ</a>, who also designed <a href="/wiki/Shibuya_Hajime" data-wiki-target="Shibuya Hajime">Shibuya Hajime</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kenmochi_Toya" data-wiki-target="Kenmochi Toya">Kenmochi Toya</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fushimi_Gaku" data-wiki-target="Fushimi Gaku">Fushimi Gaku</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sister_Cleaire" data-wiki-target="Sister Cleaire">Sister Cleaire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Amemori_Sayo" data-wiki-target="Amemori Sayo">Amemori Sayo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Todoroki_Kyoko" data-wiki-target="Todoroki Kyoko">Todoroki Kyoko</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yumeoi_Kakeru" data-wiki-target="Yumeoi Kakeru">Yumeoi Kakeru</a>, and Pax.</li><li>Whenever someone who isn't a Liver appears in a 3D stream, their avatar is that of a kuroko (黒衣, black-clad), a stagehand in traditional Japanese theater wearing black clothes that cover the entire body. The kuroko are usually ANYCOLOR staff.</li><li>There has been multiple instances where a model was left unused, one notable example being that of "Eudrick" who was revealed alongside <a href="/wiki/Warabeda_Meiji" data-wiki-target="Warabeda Meiji">Warabeda Meiji</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kudo_Chitose" data-wiki-target="Kudo Chitose">Kudo Chitose</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fumi" data-wiki-target="Fumi">Fumi</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gundo_Mirei" data-wiki-target="Gundo Mirei">Gundou Mirei</a>. While it isn't that big of a deal at first after Fumi officially debuted alongside <a href="/wiki/Hoshikawa_Sara" data-wiki-target="Hoshikawa Sara">Hoshikawa Sara</a> and <a href="/wiki/Yamagami_Karuta" data-wiki-target="Yamagami Karuta">Yamagami Karuta</a> fans began to question about Eudrick whereabouts as he is the only left from the previously mentioned batch, as time goes on with many more member introduced, none of which are him it began to devolve into a running joke among even the Livers themselves who treated him as some sort of unofficial member, he even makes an appearance at NIJISANJI Koshien 2021 where he was drafted and eventually join as part of <a href="/wiki/Shiina_Yuika" data-wiki-target="Shiina Yuika">Shiina Yuika</a>'s Team.</li></ul>
