NIJISANJI EN



NIJISANJI EN is an overseas branch of NIJISANJI Project, consisting of English-speaking Livers. Unlike other overseas branches, it is not associated with any specific country and is aimed at English-speaking audiences around the world.

Luxiem, the branch's first all-male group, saw explosive popularity ever since their debut. They are considered as a proof against a widely-held belief than there's little audience for English-speaking male VTubers.

Trivia

 * Before the announcement of every post-LazuLight wave, the NIJISANJI World Twitter account makes a seemingly out-of-context tweet.
 * They tweeted only ":)" before OBSYDIA's reveal.
 * "uwu" for Ethyria.
 * "All according to KEIKAKU" for Luxiem.
 * "Hehe! :)" for Noctyx.
 * All of the hints for the new waves in NIJISANJI EN by the official account so far have represented the number of the wave itself. ":)" means wave 2, "uwu" means wave 3, "All according to KEIKAKU" means wave 4 and "Hehe!" means wave 5. Each of those have either words, letters, or symbols representing the wave number.
