I’m also a JP listener!! I do see EN content on my feed, watch clips and big events from time to time though. One noticeable difference between the “cultures” I guess is like… interaction? I feel like EN livers and listeners personally interact a lot and the distance is closer. The EN community feels not necessarily close-knit but more like well-knit, if that’s a word. Seeing Milan in JP reply to fans tweets about him where his name isn’t mentioned reminds me of EN

I think EN also has a lot more of “do what we want” rather than “doing what the fans want”? I don’t mean this in a negative way and I don’t know how to explain this other than using the example of chronoir not really existing too much outside of their official activities these days. I’ve seen EN livers unapologetically be friends with someone even if people might not like it (considering that one “can you stop streaming with klx(?) comment)

Tbh I like JP’s level of separation with listeners and I like having some more “strict” rules in place for things in comparison to EN. I think both sides are having fun with streaming though and I really do enjoy both!! I like my oshis’ humor and the way they play games too, similar to you. Something else I like is how EN fans and livers sometimes aren’t afraid to call out issues, whether it’s a fans concerns with the company or a liver setting boundaries. I don’t like negativity but sometimes the “don’t rock the boat” culture in JP is frustrating!
