The story
On September 10th, Love Live! Superstar!!’s “Liella!” held a livestream right after a concert, and predictions about the simultaneous viewer count were flying around the 5ch live-commentary thread from the moment it started. Alongside comments like “It’ll probably hit around 5,000 anyway,” the recurring comparison with “Niji” (Nijigasaki High School Idol Club) got dredged up again, reviving an old argument about viewer numbers that factors in differing conditions. During the stream, reactions to how well the popular “takoyaki smoothie” merch was recreated also had people buzzing.
Ohh no way lol ×

What people said
They're just fading further out of the times.
Not giving the illustrator special treatment actually gives me a good impression
Because they're not getting paid
It was sold at two places before — one made it from cream puffs shaped like takoyaki, and that one was actually good.
The version Liella! is drinking now has real takoyaki plopped on top, which is a dumb design, so it's garbage.
Lol, almost every single reply mentions Niji by name
It really was gross, honestly…
Even the fans watching turned it into some kind of endurance contest
For Liella to only pull this with the full group right after a live event is bad news
There was a 'well-informed poster' saying basically this back around that time too

Hit 5,000 despite the massive debuff of being part of the 'hated series' with cast members attached
Meanwhile Niji manages only 6,000 tops even with the huge buff of streaming right after a live
Where did the gap come from

Re: #202
This
And that's with the massive post-live buff, too
Isn't it because they told him to stay as quiet as possible since he leaks info the second he opens his mouth?
It just shows how many hardcore fans there are
Even people not directly participating get to feel the fun just from hearing the reactions, right?
On a totally different level from Niji
It's hell, right…?
Background and Talking Points
In the Love Live! franchise, a stream’s simultaneous viewer count is frequently used as a yardstick for comparing group popularity. The “Niji” referenced in this thread is shorthand for Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Threads have long framed differing conditions — such as whether a stream airs right after a live show versus as a standalone broadcast — as “buffs” and “debuffs,” turning the discussion as much into a debate over comparison conditions as over raw numbers. This thread was no different, with posters citing past instances of the same argument and debating whether a simple viewer-count comparison is even valid. Worth noting: the actual final viewer count isn’t confirmed within the excerpted portion of the thread — the “3,000” figure in the thread title is a jab, not a confirmed number. The “takoyaki smoothie” is a recurring food item featured on stream, and opinions were split on how well it matched the version sold at past events.
