The sponsored collab in question:
I'm truly at a loss for words. This damages ANYCOLOR's name far more than some innocuous joke over beaning people in Koshien.
ASAP CLUB, the sponsor for Kuzuha and Kanae's stream, presented this tweet
asserting that the pair's recommended mix (chosen by Nijisanji's staff) was a new discovery, only for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan to chime in
and warn that caffeinated drinks mixed with alcohol pose health serious hazards. That the government has to issue a warning after unconfirmed reports of teenagers being rushed to the hospital after trying that mix speaks about the gravity of the situation. Of course, ASAP CLUB downplays the issue
by claiming that their dosage is at acceptable levels, seemingly ignoring the root problem while asking to drink in moderation.
The mixed drink recommended by Nijisanji staff is a 1:1 ratio between the sponsored ASAP caffeinated drink and Chamisul soju.
So much for this influencer's tweet

We know Niji sent a few of their vtubers to the hospital. I didnt expect them to send a few fans to the hospital too
The fact they didnt take down the stream even if sponsored is so telling

What in blazes is an "acceptable level"? I need numbers for that kind of claim, Unicron take you. Like, how much caffeine is in that drink, exactly?
Like, someone who drinks a lot of energy drinks might find it "acceptable", but if that's 10 times the amount a regular person drinks...
But, seriously, I'm curious about how that all went down. Did Nijisanji's staff give a range of things they were going to try to the company for approval? Or did the company just trust Niji's staff and take a hands-off approach?
I mean there’s a difference between using Soda and an energy drink thats basically three of them and that’s just the caffeine energy drinks got other things that play with the alcohol
It kinda amazing that the moment the mask came off any color has just been besieged by screw up after screw up after screwup
This is an outrage against Luminara!![]()
I don't think the increased negative attention on Anycolor had anything to do with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries getting involved; I feel like even if the debacle with Selen hadn't happened, Anycolor would have likely still gotten called out, though of course netizen sentiment wouldn't have been quite as negative if they hadn't already squandered all their goodwill. ASAP making excuses for the 1:1 mix doesn't help, either.
I was referring to the "screw-up after screw-up after screw-up" part.
Like.... yeah, this time everyone would noticed, but I feel like a lot of the other stuff would have probably not gotten as much attention, had it not been for... well, everything surrounding Selen.
Granted, there might have still been scrutiny based on how pretty much all of their former talents sound whenever they allude to their time with the company, even if the company hadn't tried to make an example out of Selen.

I’m trying to find symbolism for nijisanji’s PR downfall when it came to first exterminating Selen, but all I get is “dragons are a symbol of power and strength” and even though I can say that, Nijisanji has a few dragons vtubers left
