Drama bahasa jawa

Friends: I am an 83 year-young Vietnam Vet. 56-years ago this year I was 49,000 ft in the air over Vietnam in a B52 dropping 500 & 1,000 lb bombs on the Viet Cong in the 17th Parallel.
Today, I am trying to reach the survivors of that War and all other Wars we have fought AND all people around the World in the 208 Recognized Countries that will be Left Behind at the coming Rapture, described in the Holy Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:17: Then they who are alive, shall be caught up together into the clouds with them who remain, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.), as when Jesus Christ will return to this earth to give Eternal Heavenly bodies to those that have died after accepting Him as their Personal Savior AND those who are still alive and have done the same.
There are an estimated 6 Billion of the 8 Billion people left in the entire World who have NOT accepted Jesus as their personal Savior, meaning that they do not believe that God, the Sovereign King and Creator of the entire Universe and beyond, sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this Sin-Filled Earth 2,024 years ago to shed His Blood and die upon a wooden Cross in Jerusalem, Be buried in a Borrowed Tomb and be raised Back to Life again on the 3rd Day (Easter) by His Father, God) as PAYMENT for all of the sins of the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IF:
1.) They would Believe upon Him as the Son of God; 2.) Accept Him as their personal Savior; 3.) Confess that they are a sinner, meaning that they have broken at least ONE of God's Ten Commandments; 4.) Repenting of their sins, i.e., changing their sinful-way of living and 5.) Giving Him total control of their lives,e.i., letting Him be the Pilot in charge of their lives.
Having done those 5 things, you are Spiritually "Born Again" enabling The Holy Spirit,(the 3rd Part of the Trinity of: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit) to Enter your Very Soul, Reserve your position in Heaven AND Write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life, where your name MUST be at the Rapture, for you to receive a Heavenly Body that will live Forever in Heaven.
Please read the 20th Chapter of Revelation in the Bible to see what happens to those who are "Left Behind" at the Rapture:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2020&version=ESV
Below are "Icons" that will translate our nightly Blog:
OurDailyBread101.com
into each of those 101 Languages telling those 6 Billion Souls who, as of right now, will be Left Behind at the Rapture.
The Blog will tell them in their own Language How to Get to Heaven!
If you know someone that only speaks one or more of those languages, PLEASE go to the Blog, depress the Icon for that Language and the ENTIRE Blog will be translated, then you can email it to that person or those people telling them HOW to get their Eternal, Heavenly Body, that will never get sick and will live FOREVER!
Eyeball-to-Eyeball: If YOU have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior, please do so immediately by Praying this Prayer to God The Father:
"Father God, I confess that I am a Sinner, I accept your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as my Personal Savior, I repent of my sins and give You total Control of my Life, in Jesus' Name, Amen."
Welcome to your New Life, Completely Forgiven of ALL of your sins AND your Ticket, through Jesus Christ, to Eternal Life with Him.
Regards,

A reader of my website Baligram.me recently got in touch with me.
He's a student with a growing interest in Balinese Hinduism and is currently learning the local language, Basa Bali. He's also learning Bahasa Indonesian.
He's is eager to delve deeper into Balinese Hinduism but needs resources available in English. He reached out hoping I could point him in the right direction.
I offered a few recommendations to help him on his journey and thought I would share this here in case it was of interest to others too.
A good starting point, particularly for tourists just wanting to get a light feel for Balinese religion (without going in too deep) is my set of articles here: https://baligram.me/blog/balinese-hinduism-introduction-for-visitors
Here's how I replied:
Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in Balinese Hinduism! It's always exciting to connect with fellow enthusiasts.
Firstly, it's great you are learning Bahasa Bali. I do suggest focussing on Bahasa Indonesia - it's easier to learn and all Balinese speak it. Bahasa Bali is harder and most of the time unless you are fluent you will get answers in Bahasa Indonesian.
However, having some Bahasa Bali will certainly impress and people will warm to you for your effort.
I am not sure how deeply you wish to go, so below are suggestions that range from those suitable to a casual tourist to someone who wants to go much deeper into the topic.
Here are a few recommendations where you can delve deeper into Balinese Hinduism, all with resources or programs in English:

1. Ubud: Often considered the cultural heart of Bali, Ubud is home to several learning centers that offer courses on Balinese culture and religion. You might want to check out the Ubud Yoga Centre or the Pondok Pekak Library, which occasionally host workshops and talks on Hindu philosophy and practice.
   
2. Point (1) is a more superficial experience. If you really want to learn deeply, go to a more remote village and stay with a family for the full 210 Pukawon cycle (the Balinese calendar works on a 210 day cycle) and if you time it right you can experience every daily ceremony and learn about the religion in a very comprehensive way. Combine this with reading "Bali: Sekala & Niskala" by Fred B. Eiseman, Jr. (see below) and you will come away with a better grounding than you could get any other way.
   
3. Online Resources: Websites like BaliSpirit.com and LearnReligions.com offer comprehensive articles and guides on Balinese Hinduism. These can be great starting points for understanding the core beliefs and practices before diving deeper on the ground.
   
4. University Programs: Look into the Universitas Hindu Indonesia in Denpasar. They offer various courses related to Hinduism and, while primarily in Indonesian, may offer some resources or classes in English or have instructors willing to accommodate English speakers. You could contact some of the academics and ask if they would meet with you and maybe introduce you to their senior students who might be willing to become a mentor to you.
   
5. Spiritual Retreats: Bali is known for its spiritual retreats that often incorporate teachings on Balinese Hinduism. These can be immersive ways to learn and experience the religion first-hand. Bali Silent Retreat and Blooming Lotus Yoga are popular spots that offer a blend of yoga, meditation, and spiritual teachings.
   
6. Local Temples and Festivals: Participating in local ceremonies and festivals can provide a unique insight into the practical aspects of Balinese Hinduism. Temples like Pura Taman Ayun and Pura Tirta Empul often have guides who speak English and can explain the significance of rituals and temple history.
   
7. Reading: You may already have some or all of these great books:
   
8. "Bali: Sekala & Niskala" by Fred B. Eiseman, Jr. - This book is split into two volumes, covering both the tangible (sekala) and intangible (niskala) aspects of Balinese culture and religion. It's highly praised for its depth and accessibility.
   
9. "Introduction to Balinese Architecture" by Julian Davison - While this book focuses on architecture, it offers valuable insights into the religious and philosophical beliefs that influence Balinese design and temple structures.
   
10. "The Bali Bible: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Spectacular Tropical Island" by Thibault Masson - This guide includes a section on Balinese culture and religion, providing a good overview for travelers who want to understand the spiritual context of the island.
    
11. "Hinduism in Bali: Families and their Faiths" by Angela Hobart - This book explores Hinduism as it is practiced daily in Balinese families, offering a personal look at the rituals and beliefs of the island's main religion.
    
12. "Balinese Dance, Drama & Music: A Guide to the Performing Arts of Bali" by I Wayan Dibia and Rucina Ballinger - Understanding local performing arts is another way to deepen one's understanding of Balinese Hinduism, as many dances and dramas are rooted in religious stories and teachings.
    

I hope these suggestions help you on your journey to deeper understanding of Balinese Hinduism.
Enjoy your learning adventure in Bali!

Perpanjangan SIM di sebuah kantor polisi di Kota Bandung yang membuat saya berpikir "HAH? SERIUS INI KELASNYA IBUKOTA PROVINSI? KOK TOLOL"
Anekdot (pengalaman pribadi) ini bukan sekuel drama parkiran Masjid Raya Al-Jabbar, ini sebenarnya prekuel karena terjadinya sudah setahun yang lalu, cuma gedek-gedeknya sampe sekarang... Baik pelayanan kantor polkis dan pengalaman kang parkirnya. Karena anak rantau jauh, aku memutuskan buat perpanjangan SIM online, dan sudah hampir 2 bulan nggak ada kabar. Aku tanya sama hotline Satpas, rata2 seminggu sih udah jadi. Katanya harusnya kantor polisi yang akan info bahwa bisa diambil kapan dan dimana. Saya bilang gaada tuh info, maka saya putuskan untuk ambil sendiri ke kantor.
Sesampainya di kantor, saya tanya sama polisi yang jaga di depan pos gerbang "parkirnya dimana pak?" padahal jelas dan nyata di dalam kantor polisi ada parkiran juga. Disuruh parkir diluar, pinggiran jalan yang jelas dan nyata ada plang dilarang parkir. "OK" jawabku judes. Dari kejauhan, terlihat kang parkir senyam senyum sambil mengisap rokoknya, tanpa membantu parkir para tamu aparat negara ini. Aku masukin motorku ke sela2 ruang kosong yang sempit, sambil memperhatikan apakah kang parkirnya akan datang membantu. Ternyata tidak. Well, as per usual.
Masuk ke kantor polisi, ga ada orang di reception. Kirain udah jam makan atau hari libur, saya melihat kalender dan jam untuk memastikan bahwa saat itu masih hari dan jam kerja. Celingak-celinguk gak ada siapa2 di lantai satu. Saya bunyikan bel di meja. Sepuluh detik berlalu, tak ada respon. Saya mencoba masuk ke lantai dua, yang ada batas gerbang keamanan sebelum tangganya. Saya nyelonong. Gak bunyi alarm apa2. Hmmm, heran juga, standar keamanan sebuah kantor polisi yang terletak bersebelahan langsung dengan Gereja Katedral.
Saya memasuki beberapa ruangan yang gak ada petugas satu-pun. AC nyala, tapi ew, bau rokok! Ternyata ada toh, kantor pemerintahan resmi yang membiarkan pekerjanya ngerokok di ruang ber-AC. Saya akhirnya menemukan satu ruangan yang polisinya lepas seragam dan cuma pake kaos oblong. Dia yang menyerahkan SIM saya, tanpa laminating hologram. Katanya kalau mau pake hologram bayar lagi. Seingat saya, di Malang saya perpanjang SIM langsung ada plastik pelapis hologramnya. Saya terima SIM tersebut, tanpa berusaha melihat badge nama di seragam yang tersingkap di bangkunya. Sengaja dilepas atau emang lagi gerah, gatau juga.
Keluarlah saya buat pulang. Sesampai di parkiran liar yang persis di depan kantor polisi tersebut, muncullah random kang parkir yang juga masih nggak ngapa2in, not even helping me getting my bike out from the tight pool of chaotically parked motors. Aku kasih 100rb sambil bilang "gak ada uang kecil bang." mengikuti saran u/DeTomato_ dari di thread u/Kikuch1 yang ngomongin tukang parkir. Berharap jawaban "bawa aja bang, kaga ada kembalian euy". Oh boy, I was not prepared for what comes next.
Sampah masyarakat tersebut ternyata mematahkan ekspektasi. Asli, dicariin dong kembaliannya! Trus dia kasih 45rb. Aku bingung. Dalam benakku, parkir di depan kantor polisi, yang punya tempat parkir sendiri, yang harusnya gratis karena merupakan kantor pelayanan masyarakat, selama 30 menit, masak sih tarifnya 55rb? Aku bilang "uang saya tadi 100rb pak". Baru dia kasih lagi 50rb sambil senyam-senyum meringis. Lah kontol, dia kirain aku bakalan langsung kantongin itu kembalian limaribuan segepok dan ga aku hitung lagi uang kembalian ini dengan teliti dan hati-hati? Keterlaluan, the audacity of this leech is beyond comprehension.
Aku tanya lagi, "emang 5 rebu kang parkirnya? yang bener aja!". Barulah ia merogoh koceknya lagi dan dia kembalikan 2rb lagi. Lha, jadi 3 ribu? Kek mana la ini? Aku langsung menggeber sepeda motor dengan kencang dan teriak dengan lantang kayak orang kesetanan "JANCOOOOK!" sebagai ode kepada amarah Jawa Timuran yang menggelora. I just hope my curse was heard by Sundanese Jesus in the church.

I have never posted a topic here before as I don't like touching on politics or indoctrinating other people. But the recent BM literacy issue on an elder person trying to renew pasport kinda touched a spot on me. I'm only writing this to lay down shy elderly that doesn't know a lick of BM exists. Whether to condemn them for never trying to embrace the Malaysian spirit or be understanding towards them is up to you guys, I'm just sharing.
To those questioning how could someone like that holding a blue IC exist in Malaysia where BM is everywhere and doubt that even any Malaysians like that existed. Let me get this fact straight, they definitely exist. And there are still quite a number of them. Many of them live quite isolated lives, never left their hometowns as it was usual back then like my grandma. Work in hometown, play mahjong with friends, go chinese pasar, take care of kids, grandkids, go on Chinese guided tour once in a while out of the town. Rinse and repeat from birth until now 80+ years old. Because back then the culture is different, not many women are wishing to get out to see the world ans are just contempt.
M grandma, almost 90 years old at this point does actually speak a little bit of BM. Not enough to see the doctor or talk to people on her own, but combined with gestures and pointing she'll get her message through. Many of her friends are between 70 - around her age, and many of my grandma's friends never spoke a lick of BM. Today still don't know how to read, write or speak BM because their whole lives revolved around their taman. Now most old liao never leave the house, even no chance to ever learn BM. Most don't even read alphabets.
And again, my experience isn't in some small Cina town isolated from cities and such. I'm from PJ where my family has been in the Klang Valley for over 150 years. I frequently take the LRT as well and many from those generations I have guided so many times. Most of the reason they ever ventured out of their taman? Because their old friend's kids bought a new place so they moved to new taman, hence travelling to play mahjong or sit at kopitiam with them. They malu to ask PIC because they only know Cantonese or Hakka and only some Mandarin to get by. They only tell me which station number they should go down and which bus number but sometimes get lost. And I encounter this OFTEN.
Maybe because I have a friendly face or maybe because I'm fluent in Cantonese, Hakka and Mandarin as well with small lick of Hokkien, because I talk to my grandma and her friends often. So maybe I seem more approachable to them, as often they will always instinctively walk over and ask me when even I'm sitting quite a distance away in a LRT full of other people. Luckily I'm able to korek my memory of Chinese names of some tamans and places my grandma referenced to before, else I also don't know where are they headed or how to guide them.
Remember, most of them are from the times before Malaysia or Malaya was ever formed. Many of them tell you their first memories are mostly about the Japanese occupation and such. My grandma told me she vividly remembers how Japanese bombers leveled the cement factory she was working in when she was a child. Remember, completely different times where child labour is common.
Well, surely it's still impossible to not learn any BM? Surely they had to order food or head out at some point? Why Indian elderly seem to be more fluent in BM than elderly Cina? Well to summarise what I've been trying to say this whole time: the Chinese community in Malaysia has been self-sufficient enough with a big enough population that they never needed to. Culturally for millenia, the Chinese has always built-up their own self-sufficient and close-knit communities even back in Mainland China before. A town would speak their own dialect never knowing what's happening on the outside, and there would be select people in a town tasked with learning to read and write what is called "bahasa pegawai" to deal with governmental affairs which would later become Mandarin after the introduction of national education.
Millenia of such habits is impossible to dissappear with 1 or 2 generations along, hence why only the past 2 generations we're finally seeing more inter-mingling. Hence, the thought of learning the national language when in another country never occurred to them. It was never a practice even in China, the majority got by with only their own dialects for generations. Most came from the times of the Taiping rebellion, Hakka-Punti war and later the Sino-Japanese War and distrust even towards other clan members was an all-time high. Remember in history we had the Larut Wars between the different dialect groups, as well as the razing and "founding" of KL by Yap Ah Loy which was actually part of the wider inter-dialect conflict that just happened be guised under the Sultan's banner. Because that's how closed off and segregated each community was. And the British played that into full effect.
Because as mentioned that in their minds, being a Malaysian was never a thing. The country of Malaya and subsequently Malaysia wasn't even a thing when they were born. They only knew themselves as Chinese living in another land, just like their ancestors centuries or millenia ago migrating South to get away from the devastation in the homeland. They definitely weren't China Chinese as during that time a few generations have passed; but they definitely never thought of themselves as Malaysian. It was only something to let them legally live here as they always were, and travel in and out the country legally. As for my grandma? Will she ever put in the effort to learn BM even if the whole country condemns her? Probably not, she just stays at home nowadays watch HK drama or sometimes gather at kopitiam play mahjong waiting for their time to end. In her mind, she already passed all the hopes to her grandchildren like me after raising all of them, there's nothing more she needs to do and just enjoying her days now.
So there's that, I'll leave it at that. What you guys think of this information is on yourselves.
Side note: To those asking why then how should we differentiate illegal aliens from China then? For Chinese, it is very easy to tell if someone is from China or 2nd generation China-origin and not Malaysian. It is impossible for them to be like the Cina in Malaysia where most are 4th, 5th generation at this point. Even Hongkonger who lived in Malaysia for over a decade speaking Cantonese to me, I can also immediately tell that person wasn't born in Malaysia.

Aku lagi nyari inspirasi buat bikin poster-poster kata-kata pepatah/inspiratif/quotes, rencananya mau dipasang di sekolahku untuk memperkaya teks. Target utamaku Bahasa Madura sama Bahasa Jawa, tapi kalo ada yang mau berbagi juga dipersilakan (sama terjemahan dan makna Bahasa Indonesianya ya :D)
Contoh paling gampang:
Tong kosong nyaring bunyinya = Orang yang tidak berilmu (kosong) itu yang bicaranya paling banyak (nyaring)

Ada yg pernah pengalaman? Terserah di dalem atau luar negeri.

1. Tetangga di LN bule yg udah nenek2 nyapa gue dengan “ni hao”. Bukan ejekan tapi beneran serius nyapa. Setelah gue bilang gue kagak bisa bhs cina karena gue bukan dari cina dia bilang "oh ok, saya soalnya dulu pernah ikut kursus bahasa cina kirain bisa praktek". FYI gue orang jawa dan muka gue muka2 jawa solo.
   
2. Tantenya suami gue, nenek2 bule, ngundang kami sekeluarga buat makan siang ke rumahnya. Dia bikin chicken curry (jgn tanya rasanya plis) katanya khusus bikin buat gue soalnya kan makanan Asia. Biar pas di lidah gue.
   
3. Temen kerja bule dapet pasien yg namanya agak Asia. Kasih liat namanya ke gue dan bilang lu tau gak kira2 dia dari mana. As if i speak asian. Spoiler alert: ternyata orang Sri Lanka.
   
4. Pas potong rambut mbak2 tukang potong rambut bule nanya gue aslinya dari mana. Setelah gue jawab doi nanya, "oh deket Filipin ya, orang2 di sana makan ikan pake kepalanya lho, sama matanya juga! Pikachu face Di tempat km juga kah?" Ok this one actually had me laughing in tears.
   

Ada yg punya pengalaman sama gak?
Edit: to the guys who take this seriously, calm your tits. It's all in good humor dude.

Merupakan salah satu pemimpin pasar dan yang terbesar dalam industri rokok nasional,[2] kantor pusatnya berada di Surabaya, Jawa Timur. Perusahaan ini sebelumnya dimiliki oleh keluarga Sampoerna, namun sejak Mei 2005 kepemilikan mayoritasnya berpindah tangan ke Philip Morris International, perusahaan rokok terbesar di dunia dari Amerika Serikat, mengakhiri tradisi keluarga yang melebihi 90 tahun.

Istilah mokel sendiri berasal dari bahasa lokal, yaitu Malang, Jawa Timur, yang digunakan sebagai bahan bercanda antara teman. Banyak masyarakat yang tak mengerti apa itu mokel karena terminologi ini tidak terdaftar di dalam KBBI

Emang sih in theory terjemahan official itu biasanya lebih bagus dari unofficial. Ambil contoh dulu ada terjemahan unofficial novel Cry Even Better if You Beg bahasa inggris (udah di takedown, padhal itu dulu lengkap ada audio drama segala) rupanya di unofficial versionnya ada indikasi kalo translatenya itu lebih ngikut hati sehingga sudah menjurus ke fan TL. Itu jg tuh yang bikin gua langsung ke versi aslinya di novel ini.
Nah dari pengalaman di atas, gua ngebanding2in translate novel My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone official di Radish (ada juga di Tapas tapi kena region block) sama yang unofficial. Padahal yang unofficial itu MTL (keknya pake MTL google deh ini sama kurang proofread aja) dan banyak translate yang salah, cmn gatau kenapa ada aspek yang gua lebih prefer unofficialnya. Salah satunya adalah cara Kallen manggil Kanna. Di official dirubah dari yang dia suka manggil sister jadi ke nama asli dia (ini gua liatnya di chapter 154-156 gitu ya), sedangkan yang unofficial ttp dibikin dia manggil Kanna itu "sister". Gua pribadi lebih setuju kalo Kallen manggil Kanna "sister" daripada Kanna, karena disini konteksnya si Kallen itu udh tergila2 yandere obsesi parah sama Kanna sampe2 udh kayak muja dia, manggil Kanna pake nama aslinya itu rasanya ga nyambung. Masih nyambung kalo Orsini manggil Kanna pake nama aslinya karena Orsini sendiri tsundere akut yang susah mau ngakuin perasaan dia. Gua kurang paham kenapa dirubah panggilan nya, mungkin editor localization nya pengen soften the blow or smt. Yang jelas, gua ga setuju sama pilihan mereka.
Nah apakah ada pengalaman yang mirip sama gua?
Btw MTL google udh bagus ya skrg. Ada yang tau MTL bagus yang mana selain google buat translate Korean? Berbayar pun (asal ga mahal2 banget) jg gpp.

Basically, apakah ada fitur dalam bahasa Indonesia yang ingin komodos ubah atau bahkan hilangkan? Atau apakah ada fitur yang ingin komodos tambahkan? Misal, ingin menambahkan grammatical gender, noun mark, atau sebagainya. Bisa juga soal aksara dll.
BTW, ini masuknya hanya thought experiment, ya
Tidak perlu sangat realistis atau berdampak besar, sih. Pertanyaan ini saya ajukan karena kebetulan saya sedang menggarap basareka (bahasa buatan, conlang) yang berbasiskan bahasa Indonesia (versi baku dan beberapa ragam dialek daerah) berlatarkan tahun 2500+ masehi, dan butuh inspirasi untuk beberapa cabang bahasanya. Sejauh ini udah ada beberapa hal yang saya utak-atik sih:

• hyper-agglutination; jadinya banyak kata-kata modal dijadikan imbuhan, contoh: kogagumgan (kau-akan-aku-makan)
• alphasyllabic script; intinya pake >sistem< aksara macam aksara Sunda, Jawa, atau Devanagari, dll
• bunyi-bunyi 'alien-ish'; hantu > aero, bintang > bedan, manusia > marea

Contoh kalimat dalam basareka ini:

Aban, vakto dumiliko nalam sadī, dudaheptako bot tagalamko? Akaza malam doro dalam banat, gavagola kalo malagoko do kalo ana nayarko ado bedan mayam. 

Terjemahan: "Tuan, ketika Anda memutuskan untuk menyelam sendiri, siapkah Anda untuk tenggelam? Angkasa malam adalah tempat yang sangat dalam, tidak bijaklah apabila Anda melakukan itu jika hanya untuk mengejar satu bintang temaram."
Cuman, kayaknya bakal lebih imersif aja kalo dapet input dari pengguna bahasa Indonesia lain wkwk. Kalau bisa menduga, kayaknya sistem tenses semacaman yang ada dalam bahasa Inggris bakal muncul, tapi kali aja ada fitur lain yang belum pernah terpikirkan muncul juga.

Masalah bahasa daerah dalam bahasa indonesia
[BY Abdul Majid, Berita Harian, 3 October 1959]
Di Bandjarmasin Kalimantan (Borneo) baru-baru ini telah dilangsungkan perbahasan khusus mengenai perkataan "butuh" atau "butoh" menurut ejaan di Malaya, dengan dihadiri oleh ramai orang cerdik pandai, para pembesar tempatan dan wartawan.
Sesudah berlangsung lebih dari setengah jam perbahasan ini maka dikeluarkan sebuah pernyatan yang isinya menganjurkan supaya di Kalimantan orang jangan mengeluarkan perkataan ini dalam apa jua pembicaraan maupun pidato.
Bahasa Jawa
"Butoh" menurut bahasa Banjar ialah "kemaluan lelaki."
Perkataan "butuh" yang sekarang sudah tidak asing lagi dipakai dalam surat-surat rasmi pemerintah Indonesia, adalah perkataan Jawa yang ertinya "perlu".
Kebutuhan bererti "keperluan" tetapi di Kalimantan dan Sumatera perkataan ini bererti "kemaluan lelaki" sama juga seperti di Malaya.
Alasan yang dikemukan dalam mengeluarkan pernyataan ini ialah perkatan "butuh" yang selalu diucapkan oleh orang yang berasal dari Kalimantan "sangat menganggu perasaan terutamanya bagi pihak kaum wanita".
"Surat khabar "Pedoman" di sini dalam ulasannya mengenai "pernyataan" di Kalimantan terhadap pemakaian perkataan "butuh" ini menceritakan kononnya ada seorang bangsawan di Malaya yang di masa permulaan revolusi Indonnesia[sic], suka mendengar siaran radio Jogja.
Tutup radio
Pada suatu malam ia mendengar penyiar Radio Jogja menggunakan perkataan "butuh" maka dengan tidak tunggu lagi bangsawan mematikan radionya sambil mengucap "Masha' Allah" oleh kerana di dalam bilik ada beberapa puterinya. . .

since I remember talking to some people in /malaysia about how Malay language is flexible and Malay culture was easy to be embedded, I believe I owe this thread to those language fans instead of sharing this to /bahasamelayu straight. (Sorry, I can't remember your name and I'm lazy to dig my history)
I didn't know that Jawa words are being used and introduced as standardised modern Indonesia (pre-and post 1974). So that is a major TIL on my part.

TW: Bullying
Before we begin, a glossary of terms for those who may need one. In particular, 'graduation' (a voluntary retirement of a given VTuber identity, whether indie or corporate) will come up a lot; the other specific term is '[Virtual] Livers' (rhyming with 'divers'), Nijisanji's specific term for its VTubers.
Writing this in early March 2024, chances are that the name 'Nijisanji' will ring a bell if you have engaged with just about any online space with even the slightest connection to weeb fandoms in the last few weeks. The scandal resulting from the termination of Nijisanji English's Selen Tatsuki on 5 February – exactly a month ago at the time of posting – has become a matter of considerable attention reaching well outside the VTuber bubble, and may well hang over the agency for the rest of its existence. But it's worth remembering that this was not the first scandal to rock Nijisanji, and especially not the first to revolve around its international branches. The recent blow-up has some rather older precedents.

Where did Nijisanji come from?

On 29 November 2016, tech startup Activ8 debuted Kizuna AI, voiced and acted by Kasuga Nozomi, as the first self-proclaimed 'Virtual YouTuber'. Unbeknownst to her creators, their apparent dominance of the medium was not to last. AI's time as the face of the industry was to end in flames in 2019, as Activ8's attempts to follow through on their original vision of the 'eternal idol' ran up against a fandom that had developed its own set of expectations about VTubing, driven by the proliferation of new VTuber personas that had become inextricably tied to the talents behind them. And at the arguable forefront of that movement was Nijisanji.
Nijisanji, officially styled NIJISANJI and often informally stylised as 2434 (ni shi san shi), is the brainchild of Riku Tazumi (born c.1996), who dropped out of his studies at Waseda University in 2017 to establish Ichikara Inc, and set to work developing a Live2D tracking app, offering a much cheaper and less labour-intensive alternative to the full-body studio 3D then in vogue. On 11 January 2018, Ichikara publicly unveiled Nijisanji, the name of its official app, and opened auditions; eight successful applicants debuted from 8 to 16 February. Nijisanji's bursting onto the scene with Live2D arguably kicked off modern VTubing as we know it, leading competitors like Cover to copy the format, and paving the way for an eventual explosion in the number of independent VTubers as the cost of entry continued to fall. Aggregator site Userlocal would claim that there were over 1000 VTubers by the end of March, and 6000 by the end of the year; 61 belonged to Nijisanji. (source).
We could get bogged down in early Nijisanji history forever, but the meat of this story requires us to leave Japan and 2018 behind and move away in both space and time. Before we get to that, though, why do Japanese VTuber agencies set up overseas operations, anyway?

Why expand overseas?

Even today, the exact limit of the Japanese market for VTubers is not really known, but from the very beginning, the industry has been keenly aware both of the eventual limits of the domestic space and the potential room for growth in foreign markets that will be receptive to Japanese cultural exports. Rarely has a media company sought to have less of an audience. But we also ought to account for the fact that a lot of VTuber agencies have their origins as tech startups, where you get a lot of initial funding and then need to find a way to become profitable before it runs out. Overseas expansion carries with it a certain amount of risk, but when there is only so much money before it all runs out, those are risks that may need taking.

Where to first?

If you look at the history of the major VTuber ventures, it is notable that their first priority of expansion has usually been China, then other Asian regions, and then finally the English-language market, if they ever get there. Regional markets are just easier logistically (both in terms of timezone difference and in terms of shipping for physical goods), and presumed to be more predictable in terms of spending, and historically, the largest of these markets has been the Chinese one. Activ8 did some limited English outreach with Kizuna AI, but their experiment with Multiple AI explicitly included one voice actor to serve as her Mandarin voice. Hololive's overseas expansion went in the order China -> Indonesia -> English. Brave Group, whose modus operandi has often revolved around buying up existing ventures rather than introducing its own, acquired the Chinese agency MUGEN-LIVE in 2022, and only started an English-language branch with V4Mirai the year after. What I'm saying is that we in the Anglosphere have tended to be a pretty distant, fourth-tier concern for the Japanese VTuber industry. Nijisanji would be no exception.

Only Nijixon could go to China

When I earlier wrote that Nijisanji debuted 61 Livers in its first 10 months, that was not entirely true. Nijisanji had licensed its app and its branding to a different company, who proceeded to launch Nijisanji Shanghai and Nijisanji Taipei, each of 8 members, at the end of August 2018. In other words, some 77 people signed on to become official Nijisanji talents that year.
Trying to find out what exactly happened to 二次三次虚拟主播企划 (er ci san ci xuni zhubo qihua, or 'Nijisanji Virtual Streamer Project'; evidently sometimes shortened to '"Nijisanji" Project') is tricky given the relative lack of attention from back in the day and the retroactive scrubbing of a lot of material. Thanks to kirandra I was put on to this writeup concerning Nijisanji Shanghai, but this too is a rather later retrospective. Probably the only comprehensive timeline comes from the relevant page on Chinese ACGN wiki Moegirl.org.cn, which has no citations. So, bear in mind that the following is pretty dry and summative because I have to work with what I could find.
On 8 July 2018, a Facebook page for Nijisanji Taipei emerged, with a cover image featuring silhouettes of its eight members. The project would be formally announced on the 17th on Facebook (focussing on Taipei), Bilibili (focussing on Shanghai), and Weibo (ditto) with auditions open until the 27th. Over the course of the next few weeks, promo images would be teased until, on 24 August, both branches formally began debuting talents.
The debut announcement simply said that Nijisanji had partnered with unspecified 'local company/ies' (在地企業), something which may at the time have been seen as innocuous but which, with the benefit of hindsight, was a bit of a major red flag. Per the summary by Shitantan in the linked writeup, it very quickly became apparent that the quality of models in both instances was noticeably poorer than what was on offer from Nijisanji's main branch. Things got worse after debut, as rumour had it that agency management were abusive towards their talents, linked to a continual wave of graduations from the Shanghai branch which began in November with the exit of Siddel. By March 2019, only one of eight remained, Saitania Liun Linse, and her graduation had already been announced and scheduled for that June (in the event, she brought it forward to 10 May). In mid-February, Monmon would be the first Taipei member to graduate.
The news then came, in late March or early April 2019, that 'Nijisanji' Project's affiliation with Ichikara would cease, and the remaining seven members of Nijisanji Taipei, along with Saitania, would rebrand as VEgo. This was formally announced on 2 April on both Weibo (this was their final post on the site) and Facebook, although the process of rebranding had started a little earlier. VEgo trundled along for another year, but continued losing members until the final one, Talency, left on 31 March 2020, having been alone at the agency since the departure of Siarurin on 8 February. And so came the end of Nijisanji's first overseas foray. Whatever specific events behind the scenes caused all these exits may never be known at this point, but clearly neither the setup nor the management of the two branches was done with particularly great competence.
Tangent: It is commonly asserted across several sites, primarily wikis (including Moegirl, Chinese Wikipedia, and the Virtual YouTubers Wiki on Fandom.com), that Nijisanji's partner was the Japanese-owned, Taiwan-centred influencer and marketing firm, Capsule Inc., with considerable inconsistency over whether it was the 'core' business in Taiwan, its (now-defunct) Hong Kong subsidiary, or its (still-active) Japanese subsidiary that was running the show. However, neither I nor those who helped me with this writeup have found any evidence that Capsule was Ichikara's partner in 2018-19. Capsule's website has press releases going back to late 2018 that make no mention of this partnership, nor of VEgo, nor do social media posts from 'Nijisanji' Project/VEgo mention Capsule's involvement. Moreover, Capsule has since been involved in collaboration marketing projects with both Hololive and Nijisanji, something you wouldn't expect if the latter agency still remembered them for botching their first China project.
However, Nijisanji Shanghai and Taipei did not mark the end of Nijisanji's attempts to edge into the Chinese market. Barely two and a half weeks after 'Nijisanji' Project's rebrand to VEgo, on 19 April 2019 came the announcement of VirtuaReal, a new VTuber project based on a joint venture between Ichikara and Bilibili, with Ichikara licensing their proprietary tech while management would be local, and if this is giving you flashbacks well yeah basically, it is the same idea just without the Niji branding. Without an account I can't see many of the comments on the Bilibili piece, but I will say that it is very amusing to me that of the three that I am allowed to see, one of them is someone remarking:

上海2434屍骨未寒

Which, to translate idiomatically, would be along the lines that:

Shanghai Nijisanji's corpse is still warm

And that really made my day.
I won't go into VirtuaReal at length, for a couple of reasons: firstly, I don't want to get bogged down in the details, and secondly, while its relationship with Niji is really about the same as the earlier entities (its main thing is it uses Nijisanji's tech, and it has some cross-branch collaboration both in 'official' events and between talents), the fact it doesn't even use the Nijisanji name marks it as something other than a simple extension of the brand. I'm sure the group has had its own triumphs and tribulations, but I am happy to place it outside the purview of this post.

An Indone-jerk reaction

Midway through its invasion of China, Nijisanji struck southwards into Indonesia, and… wait no that's the Japanese Empire during WW2. But it does apply to both. Nijisanji's third foray into overseas expansion would move into what is arguably one of the more unexpected VTuber markets to the layperson, that being Indonesia. But Indonesia has a lot of attractions for a VTuber company: there's a strong demand for Japanese cultural exports, a relatively ubiquitous lingua franca in the form of Bahasa Indonesia, and also a relatively decent standard of English that can help Indonesian streamers reach out to a more global audience.
Nijisanji started auditions for its Indonesian branch on 19 July 2019, and saw its first 'wave' of debuts on 17 September with Hana Macchia, ZEA Cornelia, and Taka Radjiman, whose group was later informally dubbed 3SetBBQ. Five more 'waves', one of four members and the rest of three, would debut until 31 July 2021, for a total of 19 talents signing on with Nijisanji Indonesia, or NijiID for short.
NijiID's first wave would be one of, if not the, first groups of agency VTubers in Indonesia. While it was overshadowed in viewership by its successors, locally-based agency Maha5 (pronounced Mahapanca, first debuts in October 2019) and Hololive's Indonesian branch (first debuts in April 2020), it was nevertheless well-liked by fans as a cohesive community unto itself, as well as having very good ties with its notional competitors, with frequent collaboration between the three. Throughout 2022 and going into early 2023, an informal unit known to some as HoloNiji5, comprising two members from each agency, had cropped up, although unfortunately Zen Gunawan's graduation from Maha5 in June 2023 marked the beginning of the end of that particular partnership.
In contrast to the supposed horror-show behind the scenes of 'Nijisanji' Project Shanghai, fan and talent opinion on Nijisanji Indonesia and its talent management was almost universally positive, especially in retrospect. Merch arrived on time, talents didn't complain about mismanagement, and they were able to get along with each other. For its second anniversary in 2021, NijiID pulled out all the stops to do a 7-hour 'Virtual Summit', held partly in VRChat, accompanied by a merch drop featuring a body pillow depicting 'Staff-san', the personification of NijiID's management.
'Hang on,' you may be thinking, 'why is this all in the past tense?'
Hahahahaaaaaa oh god.
On 17 February 2022, Anycolor (which Ichikara had renamed itself to in May 2021) announced that Nijisanji Indonesia was going to be merged with the main branch of Nijisanji at the beginning of the Japanese financial year in April, with its management integrated into the 'main' agency staff. NijiID would no longer exist as a separate branch on the books. This was also to happen to Nijisanji Korea (covered later), but not to Nijisanji English. In the long run, resentment over this decision has been very visible, thanks to NijiID's fans being both more numerous and being more fluent in English than Nijisanji Korea's. At the time though, responses were a little more mixed, with some cautious optimism about the benefits of closer integration with the core agency in Japan, but also concern over the loss of the branches' distinct identity. Of particular note was the implied end of any future debuts in either market, with then-ongoing audition and onboarding processes for both branches being cancelled at whatever stage of completion they may have been at.
To this day, the exact reasons behind the merger are unknown. Officially, Anycolor's reasoning was that it would allow for more efficient management of their talents, a statement that rang a little hollow for fans of NijiID who had (correctly, it seems) never been under the impression that the Indonesia branch was suffering from any management problems. Since then, it has been speculated, and widely accepted, that NijiID may have been operating on relatively low margins compared to EN and the main branch, if not at a loss, and that the merger was done to hide NijiID's financial status in advance of Anycolor becoming a publicly traded company, which eventually happened in June 2022. The charitable but realistic take is that Anycolor had to either go public or sell to a larger company so that early investors could cash out, especially thanks to the credit crunch that happened post-Covid. Pulling ID into the main branch did mean cutting any future development, but at least the talents would still keep their jobs for as long as they wanted to.
Unfortunately, in time it seemed like that was all they would get. For many VTubers, merch releases are a big part of their income, with agency VTubing in particular tending to put a lot of emphasis on talent 'birthdays' (albeit not necessarily the real birthdays of the IRL talents). Usually, these warrant an official merch drop, but as early as July 2022 it was clear that the former NijiID cohort had been pretty definitively shafted. That month, Azura Cecilia's birthday was accompanied by fan merch in the form of a pair of voice packs (voice recordings that basically serve as a sort of mini-audiobook), promoted by fellow talent Riksa Dhirendra, increasingly nicknamed 'Staff R' for how much he was having to carry things for actual management. The same happened with Rai Galilei and Bonnivier Pranaja in September. With Nijisanji Indonesia no longer having its own branch-wide social media accounts, promotion for Indonesian talents was entirely driven by their own efforts and their fans', with no visible support from higher up.
Probably the most glaring example of just how badly ID were treated post-merger relates to fan mail. Unsurprisingly, VTubers get fan mail. Or at least, they do if their agency forwards it to them. Reza Avanluna stated on 30 January 2023 that he did not actually receive fan mail and told fans not to waste their money on postage. Two other ex-IDs added their own perspectives: ZEA Cornelia said that she had received fan mail in the past and that she did sometimes get softcopy scans, but the last time she got the mail physically was when she visited Japan for NijiFes in October 2022; Mika Melatika simply confirmed that she didn't get the mail. This didn't kick up much of a storm, but the tone of the fan response, seen both on Reddit and in various Twitter replies, was one that suggested that the earlier cynicism about the merger was warranted.
Beginning in 2022, graduations from former Nijisanji Indonesia talents started trickling in, typically announced in batches a few months in advance. Miyu Ottavia seemed a lone outsider when she left on 27 November, but then from May 2023 onward, at least one former NijiID member has left each month, except, ironically, February 2024. The first two, in May 2023, were members of NijiID's first wave, in an especial vote of no confidence. Reza Avanluna, the fanmail whistleblower, left in September, though not before Azura Cecilia in August, who accompanied her graduation with this rather provocative thumbnail. Mika Melatika, who was very much well-liked among English-speaking viewers, left in late December last year, followed by Riksa, 'Staff R' himself, in January.
As of writing, only seven of NijiID's original 19 Livers remain. Of the twelve who left, all of them did so post-merger. The typical postmortem on NijiID would have it that this was a branch that was flourishing, but then cruelly thrown on the pyre for the sake of Anycolor's financial reports. We are unlikely to find out soon – possibly ever – if Nijisanji Indonesia's financials really were as bad as many have presumed. But what cannot be denied is that Nijisanji's stated aim of providing better support to its non-Japanese talents in Asia was very clearly unfulfilled in the case of its Indonesian talents. The agency should have done better, and very much could have done better, but it didn't.

Korea-ending controversies

Nijisanji Korea is a bit of an oddity in terms of the history of Nijisanji branches. Whereas its Chinese branches have always been licensed out to other companies, and most of its others have been 'home-grown' so to speak, Korea was a bit of a strange hybrid. Although Nijisanji did set up its own in-house branch, it also bought out an existing Korean agency, 541E&C, whose name just rolls casually off the tongue. The first, ten-member wave of Nijisanji Korea (henceforth NijiKR) would comprise four members specifically hired onto KR, who debuted on 25 January 2020, and six members of 541E&C. This, it is commonly believed, is where the trouble started.
Now, as a disclaimer, whereas I can read Chinese and could therefore deal with Niji's Chinese branches, and a lot of NijiID stuff has filtered into English because of a generally multilingual fanbase and talent pool, NijiKR is a lot harder to find reliable info on in languages that I understand. I thus am reliant on English summaries of variable quality that I cannot vouch for the reliability of, on either an individual or collective basis.
541E&C had been in operation since April 2019, and its members were themselves indies, most of whom had debuted over the course of the year. Unfortunately, 541E&C seems to have been a little lax in its screening process, and this resulted in a rather dramatic exit very early when Moarin, one of the 541E&C members, quit NijiKR on 28 February 2020, and VTubing outright the next day. The full circumstances are discussed in a comment by HarunaKai in this Reddit thread responding to the announcements, but I offer a brief summary here:
Three of 541E&C's nine members, Alice Mana, ENA, and Lucia, had chosen to graduate from 541E&C rather than continue into NijiKR. Alice Mana and ENA had been part of Project Paryi, a one-man show run by illustrator Paryi, which had dissolved in mid-April 2019; they presumably knew Moarin and thus joined 541E&C afterward. The allegation seems to be that Moarin functionally ran 541E&C herself, and exploited her position to coerce and bully the members. Alice and ENA thus seem to have taken the opportunity to jump ship during the NijiKR takeover. (As a coda to this, ENA never resurrected her old identity, but Alice returned to VTubing again in September 2020 and has been active on Youtube since.)
(TW: This is the serious bullying part)
But the allegations about Moarin run deeper. Supposedly, Moarin was also a singer going by SIN*SKI, who was one of a number of high schoolers who, in 2016, had been exposed for bullying. Now, the implications of this seem to be complicated, and the two extant writeups in English present two stories: according to HarunaKai, Moarin/SIN*SKI's bullying went as far as forcing their victims to assume positions that, in one instance, required extensive surgery. On the other hand, there are some writeups from 2021 on DeviantArt by MapuruCafe (1) (2) (whom I will note was apparently 13 when they wrote them so believe at your peril) but which presents something a little different. Per these writeups, it was someone else going by Kyamjya who was exposed as the outright torture bully, and that this led to the 'resurfacing' of unspecified but presumably somewhat lesser earlier allegations against SIN*SKI, a student at the same school. I cannot tell which of these versions is the correct one, but either way school bullying allegations against Moarin/SIN*SKI definitely exist.
Regardless of the scope and nature of the allegations, Moarin's departure was taken as a cause for celebration. Such celebration may have been premature, at least as regards the future of the branch, as four further 541E&C members left in July, leaving only Gaon still present with NijiKR. While I have been unable to find any clear indication as to why, it seems plausible enough that the reason was simply that these were largely former indie VTubers who had signed onto 541E&C when it was an indie network, and the Niji buyout had placed new, corporate-specific expectations on them that they weren't happy with.
In the longer term, KR never really managed to get a particularly strong audience outside a few outliers. Many members were bilingual and chose to stream in Japanese rather than Korean, likely due to the nature of their likely audience: South Korea historically (until recently) had relatively low Youtube livestream viewership compared to Twitch, while Japan historically was the reverse. The branch seems to have lacked a lot of institutional support, with apparent delays in technical support and tensions between talents and management.
Things came to a head in 2021 with the graduations of Shin Yuya and Nun Bora in June and November, respectively. They were the two most highly-subscribed members of the Korean branch, and with their departure, nobody in NijiKR had a sub count above 50k, a bad sign for the branch's overall performance and prospects when compared to other parts of the agency. This became worse in retrospect when it turned out that neither of them actually left for very long. (Spoilers owing to standard VTuber etiquette:) Yuya re-appeared as V-LUP's Lee Jooin on 22 January 2022, and is still streaming today. Bora re-debuted with VSPO! on 24 June 2022 as Nekota Tsuna, a particularly stinging choice given VSPO!'s emergence as a growing competitor to the existing big players on the market.
NijiKR's fate would be sealed with the 2022 merger announcement. Seven more Livers would leave, four in the run-up to 21 April and two very shortly after. As of writing, twelve former KR Livers remain in the main branch. If nothing else, it has been two years since the last graduation, so at least the merger has helped with retention in some regard, with 12 of 27 original members of NijiKR (11/21 if we exclude the 541E&C cohort) still active, representing 44% (or 52%) of the branch, compared to 37% of NijiID. Even before the merger, many of them had pivoted largely to streaming in Japanese and/or English, which may account for their continued presence.
Retrospectively, feverish speculation has hung over this entire period thanks to further bullying accusations against Chae Ara, one of Nijisanji's own hires who debuted in the second wave in May 2020. What exactly happened with Ara is shrouded in mystery, with next to nothing in writing, at least on the English web. The only definitive piece of information I could find was that on 29 December 2021, she posted a message on Twitter, apparently addressing and denying existing bullying allegations. This would be the last thing she said as Chae Ara before she more or less disappeared (though she did retweet the message on 12 January), and she would be unceremoniously struck from Nijisanji's list of talents on 20 April 2022, the day before the merger. (See also her page on the VirtualYoutubers wiki, and its comments section.)
As of writing, I have been unable to find anything more definitive than the above. There came to be considerable speculation (as seen here on Nijisanji's fan subreddit) that bullying by Ara was responsible for Yuya and Bora departing in 2021, and that the graduations of Ko Yami and Lee Siu, announced on 2 February 2022, were also linked to her. In retrospect, Yami and Siu's cases would seem to be more connected with the merger, which was announced to the public only two weeks after the graduations were announced.
There's also something about a lawsuit. No idea what that involves because nobody seems to want to talk about it.
It is not hard to see why the popular narrative on NijiKR and NijiID frames them as direct opposites. In contrast to ID, which at least from the outside seemed to be entirely problem-free, KR came across as a disaster from start to finish, bookended by bullying scandals. Then, post-merger, the branches' fortunes inverted. As of writing, no former NijiKR Liver has graduated since May 2022, with 12 of the agency's 27 members (11 of 21 if we exclude 541E&C) still active at a modest but at least better-than-obscure level of popularity. Whatever Nijisanji's Japanese management has done with its Korean members has, somehow, managed to achieve a far greater degree of long-term retention than it has with the Indonesians.

India unlikely event of a total management failure…

Nijisanji India was many things, and it was also not many things. Tragically, as time passes it seems increasingly fated to be relegated to a footnote, a neat bit of trivia to be inserted into the history of Nijisanji's last overseas branch, Nijisanji EN.
On 18 November 2019, Ichikara announced auditions for the first generation of Nijisanji India, calling for one male and two female talents to take on the roles of Vihaan, Aadya, and Noor. These proceeded to debut on 23 January 2020, soon followed by some relay stream events with other members of Nijisanji and VirtuaReal on 2 and 3 February, as reported at the time here. Even a cursory keyword search on the VirtualYoutubers subreddit shows a small but persistent effort by fans to give the branch a boost. Unfortunately, Nijisanji India never really got very far off the ground popularity-wise.
On 22 June 2020, Nijisanji India's Twitter account rather abruptly posted that the branch was rebranding as Nijisanji EN, and aiming to more strongly target English-speaking audiences. This was evidently given very little fanfare elsewhere, and some of the fan discussion can be seen in this Reddit thread from October. Why, it was asked, had the branch been less successful than its cousins, despite a clear appetite for English VTubers among the viewing public, demonstrated by the recent, explosive debut of Hololive's English branch? Part of it was that the branch was just not very well marketed despite the name change, but part of it also was that it had seen no new members since the starting trio. Both the Korean and Indonesian branches had brought on at least one new wave by the 6-month mark, but there had been no new auditions, let alone debuts, for NijiIN/EN so far. Then, on 27 November, Nijisanji English's Twitter account rather abruptly posted that the branch was rebranding as Nijisanji IN. Er, yes.
So, NijiIN, formerly NijiEN, formerly NijiIN, kept soldiering on. It never did get a second generation, and then, on 13 April 2021, there came an announcement that Nijisanji India would be 'temporarily suspended' and its three Livers would graduate on the 30th. And, that was it. No real fanfare, just a lot of sadness and quite a bit of indignation as well.
One thing that is immediately striking about Nijisanji India in retrospect is just how conservative it all was, and this was apparent just from the VTubers themselves. The designs for Aadya and Vihaan were just not that interesting even considering Nijisanji's relatively down-to-earth designs; Noor stands out as the only one of the three who looks like what an average viewer would expect from a VTuber. That all three streamed in English was certainly a 'safe' choice, but they never really got substantial traction out of it, and Ichikara's indecision over whether or not to simply rename the branch 'Nijisanji EN' further speaks to a lack of any strong direction to the branch as a whole. Worst of all, NijiIN never actually got any new members after the first three, and that seems to suggest that Ichikara went into the whole thing without a particularly strong intent to keep it running. Everything seems to point to either Nijisanji having gone into IN with minimal expectations and thus minimal support, or that it got cold feet extremely quickly.
Today, if Nijisanji India is remembered at all, it is usually for the fact that it was, technically, the first iteration of Nijisanji English. And, in a coda similar to what happened with Nijisanji's Chinese ventures, the second attempt began as soon as the first one was cut loose. On 1 December 2020, three days after the NijiEN->ID rebrand, Nijisanji officially opened auditions for a new branch targeted at English-speaking countries. On 16 May 2021, barely two weeks after NijiIN's members graduated, the first three members of Nijisanji English (round 2) debuted, starting yet another chapter in the story. One of those members, Finana Ryugu, recounted that Noor had been one of her interviewers during the audition, and she is believed to still have been on staff at the end of the year thanks to her voice being heard in an accidentally-leaked test stream by a new talent. Whether she, or anyone else from NijiIN's talents and management, is still involved with Nijisanji is unknown.

Wherever next?

Well, as the last section noted, technically Nijisanji still formally maintains a distinct overseas branch 'in-house', that being Nijisanji English. However, writing this in early March 2024, it is quite hard to give a reasoned retrospective on its history while the wounds are still fresh and the dust is still being blown up. It is too early to say if the branch has imploded, or if it is dying a slow death, or if it is on the path to recovery.
What I think we can say is that Ichikara/Anycolor's overseas branch attempts have been less than stellar. To re-summarise, here's what has happened with each of them:

Branch	Auditions Open	First Debuts	Current Status
Shanghai	17/07/2018	24/08/2018	Separated from Nijisanji to form VEgo on 02/04/2018; last talent graduated on 10/05/2018
Taipei	17/07/2018	24/08/2018	Separated from Nijisanji to form VEgo on 02/04/2018; last talent graduated on 31/03/2020
VirtuaReal (China)	19/04/2019	14/05/2019	Still active (41/106 graduated or transferred to indie)
Indonesia	19/07/2019	17/09/2019	Merged into main branch 01/04/2022; 12/19 graduated
Korea	17/12/2019	25/01/2020	Merged into main branch 01/04/2022; 15/27 graduated or terminated
India/English	18/11/2019	23/01/2020	'Temporarily suspended' since 30/04/2021; all members graduated
English	01/12/2020	16/05/2021	Still active (7/38 graduated or terminated)

Nijisanji has clearly had a lot of opportunities to learn some hard lessons from its earlier attempts to do things overseas. It – and any other agency doing the same – needs to have a strong enough hand to do things like clamp down on bullying and toxic clique-building (Shanghai, Korea), but also to have more locally-minded staff that are, among other things, fluent in the talents' primary language and supportive of their efforts (Indonesia). The result of Nijisanji's repeated failures in achieving these has been tragedy for many. For those who were bullied by coworkers, those who had their support network suddenly removed, and those who dreamed of performing before the world, whose dreams were sadly crushed through no fault of their own.
But if there is one slight silver lining to all this, it is that Nijisanji's repeated missteps in international expansion have not fundamentally harmed the overall trajectory of VTubing as both a business and as a hobby. Granted, VTubing in India never really managed to take off, despite hopes for a potential market, but it is still going strong in China, Indonesia, and Korea; the Anglosphere, of course, goes without saying. VTubing may owe its current existence as a medium to Nijisanji, but at the very least, Nijisanji can no longer destroy that which it has created.
