@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303Selen put out this music video today and Nijisanji management went and privated the video for some currently unknown reason. Selen asked people to re-upload it, so that all of the hard work wouldn't go to waste.
This explain why Nijisanji being hate that much although how many treatment they show but still.. Not only Selen, but other oshi of us in this company should deserve more and more !!! And, not complaining but, I feel hololive treats their livers much better..
@@ArcaneMaiden lol. that was the joke used by josh strife hayes in the intro to one of his videos. had hbomber guy cameo for it and all. i was just referencing that
This comment just shook me to my core I was looking at this as just a normal song which coincidentally BECAME her goodbye song to selen and everyone But this just made me remembered the attempt on her life... And had she succeeded... This would be her goodbye to the world... She probably planned this as her last goodbye since she was hospitalized after it
@@wizardkumaanimations9984 She attempted weeks before this released for the first time. After the release, she attempted again. Just for information, since it seems like you didnt know.
@@zordiark9673 I've been assuming the first was the Dec 25-27 one and the second somewhere in mid-to-late January during the period where she was totally isolated. Her wording isn't 100% clear one way or the other, but if she'd done it before the MV release, it would have to have been while she was still at the company and streaming regularly.
@@Jeffrey_Wong Stop spreading false information. This cover song has been in the making for a long time it was not intentional. She has been investing on this innocent cover only for nijisanji to be butthurt and target her all because she made a cover for her fans. It has been in making in months Which in turn made it seem like intentional. But it's a coincidence a real bad one yet foreshadowing which became real.
@yasatsuishashin6786 It's called intentional because she had graduated singing this song before she joined Nijisanji, and I believe the word was her contract was running out in March.
@@Jeffrey_Wong Are you literally trying to imply that Selen _planned_ to get fired immediately after this video was posted? That would be an insane thing to insinuate.
what happened was definitly not planned. I mean, she wanted to leave, but that was only AFTER they privated the song. Still this is the closest we have to an actual graduation stream. Anyway, I can't wait for dokis redebut!
@@keitober I've seen Nijisanji defenders try to create issues between dragoons and Sayu fans on numerous websites, it fools no one. Your falseflagging won't work. Fuck off back to your doxxsite you terrible excuse for a human being.
Dokibird sang this to announce her graduation two years ago. Selen probably already knew where this was headed, but even then, the black corp denying her even this chance to share this song as Selen was too much, she even ended up going to the hospital. I’m not a dragoon, but I’m a hooman who cares very much for Selen. I wish her all the love and success in the world. And to all the dragoons, stay strong. Your oshi has a great heart, and so do all of you for supporting her all these years.
Yeah this kinda looks like she intended it to be graduating. Niji wouldn't want this song out lol they wouldn't want parasocials to think it could ever end 😂
Fr. I'm not exactly a dragoon myself either, but I'm really annoyed at the way Niji handled this. You know it's bad when the talent herself asked fans not to let things go to waste and upload it illegally if they want to.
Selen is Niji's most subbed EN female talent, might be their #1 female talent overall and yet it seems like management is always trying to screw her. I'm a casual observer and I find this treatment appalling. They give her one thing and take away two or more things. I hope she drinks the last cup of Nijisanji coffee
@@Dud3itsj3ff management, Niji, had been messing with Selen for a while now. Stuff Selen works on gets cancelled because of management. One that I remember is that tournament that Selen planned but was later cancelled because of Nijisanji. Now, Selen released this cover after working on it for a long time and spending a lot of money in it. But after it was uploaded in her channel, Nijisanji decided to make the original video private. Selen then went to Twitter to apologize and even told the fans to upload it illegally. She really just don't want all that hardwork, money, and effort to become nothing. Right now, the video on her channel is still privated so it seems Nijisanji really plans to keep it that way.
@@Sapizanzayes and so they’re relaying her request for anyone who still wishes to support her to go to her previous and current indie account as she’s going to continue streaming there (she’s got a stream scheduled for Thursday morning in fact)
? This is the video that made a multi billion company freak out and pushed people to harass someone to the point of attempting suicide? I'm at loss for words.
I'd say it was the straw that broke the camel's back for them. Or perhaps they knew she intended to quit on Jan 26th so they went the old petty "you can't quit, you're fired" route. They didn't expect any resistance after the fact, so now they've simply shit their breeches in fury. Black companies just can't stand/handle defiance or resistance of any kind. Well, unless it comes from their favorites (the money makers/bootlickers), then they're far more lenient.
No. This was what pushed her over the edge. No one attempts over one situation, it's always constant. No one gets mistreated once and just grabs a rope; it happens every single day until the victim can't take it anymore and does the thing.
@@BigDrewski1000 We are at 478k cups of coffee as of February 11th 2024, still can't believe we had 128k Dragoons in the return stream. Pretty sure we broke some records.
This actually made me cry because if her attempt really went through... this would have been like her goodbye. Almost like saying "im leaving but please dont be sad, thank you for everything you gave me as an audience."
Damn it kinda reminds me of rorochan_1999, it's a different situation but they're both so sad, I'm just happy Selen got a happy ending and her attempt didn't succeed, also if you don't know who rorochan_1999 is then here's a very short summary: She was a japanese girl (I think 14 years old or something along those lines) and she did streams where she did what people asked her to do, now this is already a red flag but some psychos told her to jump out of her window and they kept pushing her... And she did, while streaming, some people who watched the stream said her screams were very clear and they were heart wrenching, why the fuck would a bunch of fully grown adults keep pushing a kid to jump off a building?. She always kept a paper bag over her head from what I saw so no one even knows what she looked like but it's theorized that she was possibly abused which caused her to just go ahead with it
Knowing she attempted her life after this song and music video were published and taken down makes it hit way different... The idea that this could have been the last thing we'd see from her...
finally soemone who point this out this has been bothering me for the past few days like what if she was planning the attempt after this? tgis could have been her goodbye to us forever
This is a really harrowing song to post right before an attempt. I am glad there is so much support for Doki now, but I don’t think big numbers and sponsors really tackle the core issues that drive some to go GG. I hope she sticks with her therapist for a long time and never enters that headspace again.
@@fxer2103 no i dont think she did cause this was in the works for a year and a half. i think how niji handled her and how other livers handled her it what did it. i dont think it was preplanned.
She got terminated. If you're coming back to this video to grief, please support Selen's Past Life account, "Doki Bird" she stated that she's gonna be back to streaming with her old vtuber persona and tell her side of the story, she had a very rough time, let her know how much you love and support her. You got this dragoons, welcome her back.
@@junes.clovers She was just streaming live 13 hours ago from replaying to this so she was not in the hospital at this time. She was around or in December in the hospital but has since been released.
@@polkalamypekopeko2969 yea when i heard about it i went and subbed she had 15k just looked and shes at 40K now. hope to see that hit 6 figures before the 7th
The most ironic part about this is that this song is about how this won't be forever. And now, it feels like the process has been expedited. I don't mean to sound cynical. Selen just puts so much heart and effort into her work. I think we should do something to show our appreciation to her.
Oh, hello man. Funny to, once again, see you in a comment section. I agree with you, management is doing its best to ruin every talent that does not match their standard. Hope all talents can migrate to better companies like Nina and Mysta did
The song feels like both a message of hope for her fans, while also being the biggest middle finger to Niji. It gives her fans the message that if (when) she leaves, we will be seeing her return on her own terms, and is her saying that nothing Niji can do will prevent her from succeeding. I wouldn't be surprised if she was hoping it would fast-track her to getting fired so she could avoid having to wait out her contract while also potentially giving her ammo for a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Dragon's don't die, and since birds are dragons without scales it's just a new chapter of our favorite dragons life and we are lucky to be part of it, dokibird Rises
The fact that the card right before the one with Mysta and Nina is the one with Pomu hits really different now. I don't know if that was intentional, it probably wasn't, but oof.
God I don't even watch her alot love the bits I see and that is just fuckin bleak glad she is okay this being her last thing to be remembered by would just be terrible
I highly doubt this was intentional but this very much seems like a "Graduation Music video". We're seeing all of her models, a bunch of moments of past streams, Nijicanceled, moments with her dragoons. Despite all of what we have heard, this video really does feel like a final send off for Selen
It was supposed to be a tribute to celebrate her achievements and celebrate her friends, it doesn't surprise me that it feels like a send off The thing is it was supposed to be more like "remember these? I look forward to making new good memories with you guys" But in a cruel twist of irony it turned out to be her final project as selen
@@aemiliaj-score8000 The last scene makes it seem like an actual graduation song, plus she also used it before niji to graduate as an indie. My thought is that niji wanted to delay the song coming out because of this and that's why they said it had no permissions
well there's the scene when she looked back theres Nina and Mysta, it actually already a sign, she will join them soon "graduating", well but things happened
The last cup of coffee might not have been with a smile, but that first cup of *tea* shortly after had more viewers than most esports events. Goes to show, even when the walls are closing in, great things may yet lie in store just out of sight
They have no choice, either not comply to their demands and get legal sanction by Kurosanji or the only choice of making Selen the bad individual, its a loss loss situation
@@TheDullNull No! It's just this is quite an unfortunate event that occurred on Christmas of all days. With a project that she spent lots of time, money and effort doing, it sure is very frustrating for her, which is why I stated that it may be a sour end of the year. Which is also why I said to please send love her way! Support her whenever you can but please remain positive as spouting hate will only bring more hate. Hope this helps clarify a bit!
@@TheDullNullWon't blame her if she does so eventually. Ever since Mysta now Kuro and Nina now Matara they have been way more happy. Vshojo has it's flaws but if you see them being happy that say something isn't it? She is probably going to Hololive EN 4 or Vshojo new member if she decided to go that route.
From what I've seen of Selen, she's a very nice person who goes out of her way to show her love of her fans. She doesn't deserve to be treated this way and I hope that things get better in the future.
Beneath the gaslighting troll that we know and love, there is a sweet person beneath. A very dear girl who is just trying so hard.... Only to be shit on by her company. Your workplace is supposed to make you thrive doing your best... Not this.
@@NicoDoesLPwelcome to the real world, you’re gonna learn the value of human life and how they are squeezed to the maximum. being used for the gold on a yacht by the big man above. but sometimes you also learn that just because it’s the norm doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions who break the mold. Learning about them would breathe life in your faith in goodwill.
Selen puts in way too much effort to be treated this way by management. It feels like she is being constantly kicked down by the company whenever she tries to do cool things. This cover was great and the video featured a ton of incredibly cute artwork. She really deserves better than this.
Could I get some additional context if there's any? Haven't been keeping up with Niji for a while, I know things have been speculated to be shaky what with a lot of the popular talent on EN graduating, along with this incident, but has anything else been happening that shows management fucking up?
@@draaxus2969 destroying india branch because they not popular, merge Indonesia branch and then forget about them no event no promotion it's so sad that the jp/en talent make niji melody(not from official so the id talent can join)also after got merge half of them graduated, suspend gundou just because of baseball joke,too harsh on yugo and zaion the talent only get small % of merch, they not treated all talent equally,milking them so much many talent have low viewers compared to other(they don't have time to build their community because too many new gen), cancelled many event from the talent itself, hana got cancelled like 3-5 times selen 3 times pomu 2 time I think there many more because I rarely watch jp Many former nijisanji member talk bad about the company(with sarcasm ) I can go more
@@draaxus2969 For Selen in particular, the Nijisanji 3D live was cancelled (which she was slated to be in) as well as her fall guys tournament which she organized, as well as not being allowed to organize any international tournaments. She can join them, but she can't organize it for some damn reason. Those two and this song are something Selen worked hard for but was cancelled. She's had it rough this year with Niji management. edit: Apparently she still can organize international events according to a guy below me? My mistake if so, but the fact that they told her she wasn't allowed in the first place (while cancelling the tournament) before rescinding that statement is still plenty fucked up.
If someone made a time machine, came from the future, and told me about a year ago that about half of the people who are featured in this MV are gonna have massive controversies regarding bullying, backstabbing, past actions and comments, doxxing, and etc, I wouldn't haved believed it. What a company, full of amazing people. You've really outdone yourself, Nijisanji. Only in this company, a phrase "I hope this person graduates soon" is a compliment.
Too bad management private the original vid, but if Selen see this I hope she knows she sounds absolutely amazing and lovely. Kudos to others working for this song too! 💜💜💜
@@hime.9470 nope not that one. Since there are a few videos that literally show the graduated livers. And it's mentioned that it's about Permission and the Initial Process interview is still missing suddenly.
Man. Even as an outsider, me finding out that Selen (Dokibird) almost lost her life was a heartbreaking revelation. Glad that's she's doing well now and everyone is rallying together to show our support. But, still, I can't even imagine in an alternate timeline where this song was the last thing we would hear from her.
And they just announced that she's not gonna show up at AI this weekend due to "unforeseen" circumstances. They didn't say it's because she's still recovering from her accident, or even something as generic as saying she can't attend due to medical reasons; no, their official reason for her absence is "unforeseen circumstances." Good job, management. You totally didn't turn what was gonna be a love letter to the fans into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And yes, I know she really was hospitalized. I'm glad she's doing well enough that the doctors were able to send her home, and I hope she makes a full recovery, and I hope we can hear her voice again at some point in the near future. But at the same time, it is increasingly obvious that she's been suspended since before her accident, and it's also increasingly unlikely that the next time we hear her voice will be as the purple dragon.
@@Geoff69420 they didn't say she's recovering from an accident because that's probably not why she was in the hospital. She was in the hospital "under supervision" and didn't have access to her phone while she was there. That's some very specific and unfortunate wording.
We all know what this means: “I’m in the hospital”/“I’m taking a break”/“I’m solving personal problems”, this is how management bans talents. Selen writes from her old account and she has no problems with access to Twitter, at the same time we do not see such activity on her official Twitter and TH-cam channel, which once again confirms her ban from the management. These vile bastards are hurting our Selen!
@@Temporarly"connections with Niji and they are supporting her" Your whole post was cringe like you said, but somehow this was the most unbelievable bit.
Knowing what happened the days following up to this, it just hits way different. It also explains why she refused to take the privating. She wanted this up because she expected it to be the last thing she'd leave in this world. It was her enduring the pain that led to the edge.
Honestly it's pretty ironic that the last thing Selen did for Niji works as an incredible advertisement for why you'd want to join Niji Then the last thing Niji did for Selen works as an incredible advertisement for why you'd NEVER want to join Niji.
@@aestheticallypisces they took part in a video that nijisanji made for damage control against dokibird's claims of being bullied by other members in the english branch. im the video was all scripted by the lawyers of nijisanji but its still really shitty on their part to claim she backstabbed them. they also tried to smear dokibird's reputation by trying to claim that she was always mentally unstable and couldn't abide by corporate rules and thats why she was removed from the company.
@@SoupyBoy-NyahSelen did not say she was bullied by any members, she said she was bullied by management I believe and then Nijisanji did what they do best and released a statement were they claimed it was the livers instead so that they wouldn’t look bad when the track record of management being absolute dogsh*t would suggest it’s most likely the company that bullies them and makes them feel useless and dependent on their toxic “support”. Until we get some real evidence I believe 100% that Elira is innocent (I’m not familiar with the other 2 so I can’t judge them fairly) and was forced and probably threatened by that garbage company to make that video to drive away attention from the actual villains which are the higher-ups. I think everyone should boycott the company but I hope people don’t go out of their way to ruin peoples lives and potentially have more attempts happen because of it.
@@surfingraichu7594Same here, i think Elira is innocent, i mean when they talk to each other they seemed like they were having fun, and everytime Selen and Elira laugh it sounds genuine. Like when they were playing tetris. Its hard for me to believe that Elira bullied Selen when she was litterally crying over the fact that the 3d live concert(?) was cancelled by Nijisanji and was apologizing to her fans like it was her fault for it. I think Nijisanji just forced her to read a script, because why would she cry and apologize to her fans when something unexpected happened that wasn't even her fault, but not apologize to someone whom she "bullied" to the point of wanting to kill herself TWICE?
I know Selen is shy about her singing voice but I think its so sweet and cute. The things she does to entertain us and chat. Always the optimist and hard worker. Thank you for the song for us. Its very sweet and almost kinda of poetic. We do love you selen. Thank you for everything giggly Dragon
You can't even call it a graduation tbh she didn't even get to say goodbye to the dragoons they just locked her out and wiped everything off her channel like she was nothing all her work and dedication gone :(
When the parade of dragoons came, with the big-ass float that says "WE ❤️ SELEN", and the lines "I won't forget how it feels to be loved..." Given what she's been through... 😭😭
That seems all too obvious now after she mentioned how long the harassment had been going on, strongly suspect she & Pomu talked about leaving together but Niji seems to try to stagger their graduations at least somewhat.
She probably did not plan to leave immediately after this, but she definitely saw the writing on the wall and was trying to give people something to remember before leaving, and then Niji happened
Just found out that the problem was portraying the ex-livers in this MV.. which is just such a weird thing to make a problem out of, especially since the it's the company's own IP and won't cause any problems with other companies. It's such a cute and heartwarming video. A very thoughtful Christmas gift. I heard she also spent a lot of money for it and commissioned artists from the community. I'm sad for her, for how things turned out.
@@kostya555666 I agree with that as well. The timing for the upload is very important, and it's clear she's already prepared everything (even got the permission from the song's creator herself, from what I heard), only to have to wait for permission for the usage of the company's own IP... and then the video got privated for that reason as well, which is so weird to me. It must've been so frustrating (even more if there's been many prior problems with management) and I 100% understand why she would tweet what she tweeted. I feel she's very creative and ambitious, and that company's management is not fit for that and only slows her down. I now wish her the best as Dokibird.
They used that as an excuse to punish her, other livers have mentioned graduated livers’ names or at least have mentioned their fan names in the past, so it’s not like graduated livers are taboo in the company.
Listening to this again after Pomu's graduation announcement hits very different. 2:37 is really a foreshadowing. May everything go well for her and Selen Edit: this aged so bad. But I still wish the same. Go support Dokibird!
The lyrics go from bittersweet to haunting considering everything that came after. Also can't help but have my appreciation for it further tainted by the other members of Niji showing up in the different shots. All I can think is "Were they one of the ones bullying and harassing her to the point of attempting?"
Thank you for reuploading this, it's so sad to see the original privated but it does make me happy to see all the support Selen gets from all of us because she truly does deserve it 🥺💜
@@tian7743 The video got privated only a few hours ago and there are a lot of rumors flying around. It's difficult to say the real reason, why it had to be privated in the first place. We'll have to wait and see if Selen and/or the Nijisanji Management will comment on it.
@@PaddyCool1401 according to a vtuber news channel, it was bc "not all parties involved have given permission", but the parties involved are literally just lilypichu, her producer, and niji, and we know from the vtuber news she has perms from lily and her producer, so imma just think niji management dropped the ball here
As a long time vtuber watcher I can tell this was a passion project. Most vtuber MVs end up on the lower cost side, panning frames, repeating slideshows. This one had so many artist, so many different styles, animated frames, this was made with love and dedication, and they privated it on Christmas, not because of permissions because Selen had all permissions, but because the video featured people who quit the company... I guess they see people unaffiliated to the corpo as a liability.
It breaks my heart knowing that this could of been even sadder had her attempt been successful and she wasnt with us anymore...F niji man! im so glad she is still with us in some form still
No matter how many times i watch it. Going back to this and thinking This could have been it. The very last thing we ever saw from her....fuck dude I'm so grateful she's still with us. Don't take people for granted guys. Life is precious.
I can't believe they threw her under the bus a second time, this soured me with a lot of the talents now especially when looking at her tribute for them
"I won't forget how it feels to be loved", i really hope she doesn't forget that, and i am going to keep reminding to her how it feels to be loved until my last breath. Go support Dokibird, Doki we love you
My dad is struggling with cancer right now, his radio therapy ending two weeks ago and truly, someday, it will be his last day and it leaves me in fucking tears
it really was the last day for selen... it ended up being her graduation song. thanks for the memories you gave me and everyone of your fans, i will continue to support you endlessly on dokibird!
That entire situation is so fucked. And right before 2023 ends too? At this point its like Nijisanji is trying to deliberately see how far they can go at treating their talents terribly before they quit.
@@Spearra I wouldn't be surprised if Niji didn't know the lyrics to the song until after it released, given how the song is the biggest middle finger to them specifically about how overt she is about wanting to leave the company in the song.
@@jasonkeith2832 Considering that the months of work she did necessarily included talking with management about releasing a cover of a song whose lyrics were written by someone else, management would have to be complete imbeciles to not have at least taken a cursory glance at the lyrics before giving her the greenlight to begin work on the MV. .....actually, you may be right, Niji likely did not take even a cursory glance at the lyrics until after Selen published the MV on her channel.
@@Geoff69420 That's also assuming they weren't just given a "draft" of the lyrics that were different to what the MV had. Or a demo that had said "draft" lyrics, along with the picture with Mysta and Nina cut.
Bro that picture with Selen and Pomu at the end then the showing of the others who've graduated if that's not foreshadowing it sure is a crazy coincidence, a sad one at that. 😥I love Selen and pray she's ok 💜
This being the last thing we ever got from Selen is so ironic. It’s like she knew. This not being officially available (along with the rest of her content now :/) just makes it feel even worse. It’s like she had to sneak in a final goodbye to us all. Everyone support Dokibird, she needs the dragoons now more than ever
Good god if the attempt had worked this would have become the most controversial event in V-tuber history, and it wouldn’t be topped for quite some time.
Sometimes the world loves its irony. Dokibird sang this song before moving on to something more, then Selen sings it before moving on to something more, now dokibird is back.
I just pray Selen jumps ship soon and others do too. Niji needs to realize in some way or another that they are just making problems on problems for the non jp branches and the only way you fit into the mold for niji en is if you basically want to just do regular streaming and very little else. People like Selen who are creative and want to get projects done cannot thrive in a company like this.
Given the past eighteen months, I'm pretty sure NijiEN management and Anycolour in general could fuck THAT up too. Or as they say down here in Australia, they couldn't organise a root in a brothel. Selen deserves far better than she's gotten this year from them, and if she walks away after this latest debacle, then the Dragoons and the rest of the Vtubong sphere will know and understand why. Talent leaving because they don't like the rules and restrictions of being corpo is one thing (Coco, Vesper, Magni, Nina, Mysta...). Losing one of your entire branch's pillars because your leadership is apparently a bunch of drunken, flea infested chimpanzees with their arms where their nipples should be is another.
This. These NijiEN actors/actresses are very talented, and that’s coming from a very distant observer. They absolutely need better working conditions, and stuff like this takedown tells me they are never going to find a good home in Niji. It’d honestly be amazing at this point if the majority of NijiEN all ends up with Vshojo. What a rising Phoenix situation that’d be!
Say good bye to Selen if you need. But know that Dokibird is still her. She’s still here, and she’s still well, despite the trauma. I’m very grateful for that.
The last scene with Nina and Mysta along with the image of the chibi version of everyone completely destroyed me, this song is soo darn cute, would 100% fall asleep to this
Knowing her accident now and the termination when she was already at her lowest, this song is so much more sad. Whether it be termination or death.. but I keep thinking more about her attempt. Heart is fucking broken.

There's something so tragically ironic that this was the last piece of content that Selen would ever produce while under NijiEN.
Oh it's not ironic. This was 100% intentional.
@@Jeffrey_Wong Stop spreading false information. This cover song has been in the making for a long time it was not intentional. She has been investing on this innocent cover only for nijisanji to be butthurt and target her all because she made a cover for her fans. It has been in making in months
Which in turn made it seem like intentional. But it's a coincidence a real bad one yet foreshadowing which became real.
@yasatsuishashin6786 It's called intentional because she had graduated singing this song before she joined Nijisanji, and I believe the word was her contract was running out in March.
@@Jeffrey_Wong Are you literally trying to imply that Selen _planned_ to get fired immediately after this video was posted? That would be an insane thing to insinuate.
what happened was definitly not planned. I mean, she wanted to leave, but that was only AFTER they privated the song.
Still this is the closest we have to an actual graduation stream.
Anyway, I can't wait for dokis redebut!
Whats heartbreaking is this mv selen included every nijien talents and sang about how she felt loved but look what they did to her…
Never forget when Sayu cried on stream after she got terminated when she said she was stabbed in the back by the other talents
Truly a protagonist moment

Dokibird sang this to announce her graduation two years ago. Selen probably already knew where this was headed, but even then, the black corp denying her even this chance to share this song as Selen was too much, she even ended up going to the hospital.
I’m not a dragoon, but I’m a hooman who cares very much for Selen. I wish her all the love and success in the world. And to all the dragoons, stay strong. Your oshi has a great heart, and so do all of you for supporting her all these years.
Ironically, that wasn’t Dokibird’s last cup of coffee.

Yeah this kinda looks like she intended it to be graduating.
Niji wouldn't want this song out lol they wouldn't want parasocials to think it could ever end 😂
We were suppose to get another cover after getting this to 500k 😢
Update.. she kept the name dragoon for her fans as per fan request
While i'm not a dragoon myself, i hope dragoons will support her in this hard time.
She didn't deserve this.
Fr. I'm not exactly a dragoon myself either, but I'm really annoyed at the way Niji handled this. You know it's bad when the talent herself asked fans not to let things go to waste and upload it illegally if they want to.
Selen is Niji's most subbed EN female talent, might be their #1 female talent overall and yet it seems like management is always trying to screw her.
I'm a casual observer and I find this treatment appalling. They give her one thing and take away two or more things. I hope she drinks the last cup of Nijisanji coffee
Sorry to ask, but could you fill me in on what happened?
@@Dud3itsj3ff management, Niji, had been messing with Selen for a while now. Stuff Selen works on gets cancelled because of management. One that I remember is that tournament that Selen planned but was later cancelled because of Nijisanji. Now, Selen released this cover after working on it for a long time and spending a lot of money in it. But after it was uploaded in her channel, Nijisanji decided to make the original video private. Selen then went to Twitter to apologize and even told the fans to upload it illegally. She really just don't want all that hardwork, money, and effort to become nothing. Right now, the video on her channel is still privated so it seems Nijisanji really plans to keep it that way.
@@Dud3itsj3ff it's just a frustrating situation for everyone because this is supposedly the third time Nijisanji messed with Selen like this.

This is the video that made a multi billion company freak out and pushed people to harass someone to the point of attempting suicide?
I'm at loss for words.
I'd say it was the straw that broke the camel's back for them. Or perhaps they knew she intended to quit on Jan 26th so they went the old petty "you can't quit, you're fired" route.
They didn't expect any resistance after the fact, so now they've simply shit their breeches in fury.
Black companies just can't stand/handle defiance or resistance of any kind. Well, unless it comes from their favorites (the money makers/bootlickers), then they're far more lenient.
It's all an excuse to make their decision seem justified and by the law
Sadly the yacht is sinking

Damn it kinda reminds me of rorochan_1999, it's a different situation but they're both so sad, I'm just happy Selen got a happy ending and her attempt didn't succeed, also if you don't know who rorochan_1999 is then here's a very short summary:
She was a japanese girl (I think 14 years old or something along those lines) and she did streams where she did what people asked her to do, now this is already a red flag but some psychos told her to jump out of her window and they kept pushing her... And she did, while streaming, some people who watched the stream said her screams were very clear and they were heart wrenching, why the fuck would a bunch of fully grown adults keep pushing a kid to jump off a building?.
She always kept a paper bag over her head from what I saw so no one even knows what she looked like but it's theorized that she was possibly abused which caused her to just go ahead with it

This is a really harrowing song to post right before an attempt.

She got terminated.

The most ironic part about this is that this song is about how this won't be forever. And now, it feels like the process has been expedited.
I don't mean to sound cynical. Selen just puts so much heart and effort into her work. I think we should do something to show our appreciation to her.
Oh, hello man. Funny to, once again, see you in a comment section. I agree with you, management is doing its best to ruin every talent that does not match their standard. Hope all talents can migrate to better companies like Nina and Mysta did
The song feels like both a message of hope for her fans, while also being the biggest middle finger to Niji. It gives her fans the message that if (when) she leaves, we will be seeing her return on her own terms, and is her saying that nothing Niji can do will prevent her from succeeding. I wouldn't be surprised if she was hoping it would fast-track her to getting fired so she could avoid having to wait out her contract while also potentially giving her ammo for a wrongful termination lawsuit.
i hate to say it, but she probably wouldn't win that lawsuit because of Japan's social pressure bullcrap.@@jasonkeith2832

The fact that this song was the last straw is not only artistic but also tragic
Scary this could have really been the end of her with the attempt that got her hospitalised
God I don't even watch her alot love the bits I see and that is just fuckin bleak glad she is okay this being her last thing to be remembered by would just be terrible

absolutely crazy and terrifying to think about, such a simple song but so much meaning behind it
AND THEN THEY TERMINATE HER WITHOUT INFORMING HER. I swear...
Riku really wanted it to be her last cup of coffee
I highly doubt this was intentional but this very much seems like a "Graduation Music video". We're seeing all of her models, a bunch of moments of past streams, Nijicanceled, moments with her dragoons. Despite all of what we have heard, this video really does feel like a final send off for Selen
It was supposed to be a tribute to celebrate her achievements and celebrate her friends, it doesn't surprise me that it feels like a send off
The thing is it was supposed to be more like "remember these? I look forward to making new good memories with you guys"
But in a cruel twist of irony it turned out to be her final project as selen
@@aemiliaj-score8000 The last scene makes it seem like an actual graduation song, plus she also used it before niji to graduate as an indie. My thought is that niji wanted to delay the song coming out because of this and that's why they said it had no permissions

I'm still extremely uneducated so when did Doki say she tried to do an attempt
Edit: Nvm I just found out 😢
And they just announced that she's not gonna show up at AI this weekend due to "unforeseen" circumstances. They didn't say it's because she's still recovering from her accident, or even something as generic as saying she can't attend due to medical reasons; no, their official reason for her absence is "unforeseen circumstances."
Good job, management. You totally didn't turn what was gonna be a love letter to the fans into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And yes, I know she really was hospitalized. I'm glad she's doing well enough that the doctors were able to send her home, and I hope she makes a full recovery, and I hope we can hear her voice again at some point in the near future.

@@Geoff69420 they didn't say she's recovering from an accident because that's probably not why she was in the hospital. She was in the hospital "under supervision" and didn't have access to her phone while she was there. That's some very specific and unfortunate wording.
We all know what this means: “I’m in the hospital”/“I’m taking a break”/“I’m solving personal problems”, this is how management bans talents.

@@surfingraichu7594Same here, i think Elira is innocent, i mean when they talk to each other they seemed like they were having fun, and everytime Selen and Elira laugh it sounds genuine. Like when they were playing tetris. Its hard for me to believe that Elira bullied Selen when she was litterally crying over the fact that the 3d live concert(?) was cancelled by Nijisanji and was apologizing to her fans like it was her fault for it. I think Nijisanji just forced her to read a script, because why would she cry and apologize to her fans when something unexpected happened that wasn't even her fault, but not apologize to someone whom she "bullied" to the point of wanting to kill herself TWICE?
I know Selen is shy about her singing voice but I think its so sweet and cute. The things she does to entertain us and chat. Always the optimist and hard worker. Thank you for the song for us. Its very sweet and almost kinda of poetic. We do love you selen. Thank you for everything giggly Dragon
It's really poetic in a way, the fact that this song was the last thing she gave her community before a forced graduation.
You can't even call it a graduation tbh she didn't even get to say goodbye to the dragoons they just locked her out and wiped everything off her channel like she was nothing all her work and dedication gone :(
That was no graduation. It was an attempted Zaion-ing.
That is most likely her purpose from the start. Since dokibird graduation song is also this song.
When the parade of dragoons came, with the big-ass float that says "WE ❤️ SELEN", and the lines "I won't forget how it feels to be loved..." Given what she's been through... 😭😭
Literally they could've avoided all this if they let her have her cover and graduate peacefully.
This is disturbingly fitting as a departing song. Makes you think that she had plans to leave before the termination.
That seems all too obvious now after she mentioned how long the harassment had been going on, strongly suspect she & Pomu talked about leaving together but Niji seems to try to stagger their graduations at least somewhat.
She probably did not plan to leave immediately after this, but she definitely saw the writing on the wall and was trying to give people something to remember before leaving, and then Niji happened
Just found out that the problem was portraying the ex-livers in this MV.. which is just such a weird thing to make a problem out of, especially since the it's the company's own IP and won't cause any problems with other companies. It's such a cute and heartwarming video. A very thoughtful Christmas gift. I heard she also spent a lot of money for it and commissioned artists from the community. I'm sad for her, for how things turned out.
I feel like the only issue would be if it included their voices, which I don’t think it does.
Enna even had Nina appear on her Ethyria True End video months after Nina graduated. I didn’t think it would have been a big deal at first.
The problem is that management ignored selen for 37 hours during primetime of entertainment industry.
@@kostya555666 I agree with that as well. The timing for the upload is very important, and it's clear she's already prepared everything (even got the permission from the song's creator herself, from what I heard), only to have to wait for permission for the usage of the company's own IP... and then the video got privated for that reason as well, which is so weird to me. It must've been so frustrating (even more if there's been many prior problems with management) and I 100% understand why she would tweet what she tweeted. I feel she's very creative and ambitious, and that company's management is not fit for that and only slows her down. I now wish her the best as Dokibird.
They used that as an excuse to punish her, other livers have mentioned graduated livers’ names or at least have mentioned their fan names in the past, so it’s not like graduated livers are taboo in the company.
Listening to this again after Pomu's graduation announcement hits very different. 2:37 is really a foreshadowing. May everything go well for her and Selen

@@tian7743 The video got privated only a few hours ago and there are a lot of rumors flying around. It's difficult to say the real reason, why it had to be privated in the first place. We'll have to wait and see if Selen and/or the Nijisanji Management will comment on it.
@@PaddyCool1401 according to a vtuber news channel, it was bc "not all parties involved have given permission", but the parties involved are literally just lilypichu, her producer, and niji, and we know from the vtuber news she has perms from lily and her producer, so imma just think niji management dropped the ball here
@@blakeroni155 and all the artist are all Selen Dragoons
Gawd the "some day it will be the last day" almost came true😢 though it did happen partially with her becoming dokibird
She became into a Human
a million views huh.. a million views, probably even more by now if it was still on selen’s channel, that niji will never get. good
Thank you for keeping this alive, I’m sure Selen and the Dragoons appreciate it very much 🙏
I didn't expect it would be our last cup of coffee so soon... as Selen and Dragoons, that is.
It'll be my first cup with a birb soon...
Apparently, Dragoons is still sticking, but with Dokibird(Selen's old and current stream)
As a long time vtuber watcher I can tell this was a passion project. Most vtuber MVs end up on the lower cost side, panning frames, repeating slideshows. This one had so many artist, so many different styles, animated frames, this was made with love and dedication, and they privated it on Christmas, not because of permissions because Selen had all permissions, but because the video featured people who quit the company... I guess they see people unaffiliated to the corpo as a liability.
It breaks my heart knowing that this could of been even sadder had her attempt been successful and she wasnt with us anymore...F niji man! im so glad she is still with us in some form still
This hits different after Pomu graduation announcement.
I hope Selen is doing alright. But I hope she looks out for herself too.
No matter how many times i watch it. Going back to this and thinking This could have been it. The very last thing we ever saw from her....fuck dude I'm so grateful she's still with us. Don't take people for granted guys. Life is precious.
that was so close. 2 attempts man...
"Someday...it'll be the last day."
The Dragoons painting themselves yellow:
"But it will not be this day."
I love how this song has directly caused a multibillion dollar company to start burning to the ground
This is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
@@Speed001its a canon event bro
I can't believe they threw her under the bus a second time, this soured me with a lot of the talents now especially when looking at her tribute for them
"I won't forget how it feels to be loved", i really hope she doesn't forget that, and i am going to keep reminding to her how it feels to be loved until my last breath. Go support Dokibird, Doki we love you
follow dokibird guys!!! queen’s soon coming back
I did my part! Want to learn more...
Bark Knights assemble!
We are still Dragoons! Let's go!
My dad is struggling with cancer right now, his radio therapy ending two weeks ago and truly, someday, it will be his last day and it leaves me in fucking tears
I hope that u can get through this I will pray that a miracle happens and he will be cancer free
I hope he gets better. ❤
it really was the last day for selen... it ended up being her graduation song. thanks for the memories you gave me and everyone of your fans, i will continue to support you endlessly on dokibird!
This video would have been lost media if not for some people archiving and reuploading it
Kinda creepy that a song with that opening line gets removed by management, and then she ends up in a hospital.
Edit: Well shit, she's been fired.
That combined with the fact that the title of the song she covered is reminiscent of the the title of the final MV she made for her previous channel.
That entire situation is so fucked.
And right before 2023 ends too?
At this point its like Nijisanji is trying to deliberately see how far they can go at treating their talents terribly before they quit.
@@Spearra I wouldn't be surprised if Niji didn't know the lyrics to the song until after it released, given how the song is the biggest middle finger to them specifically about how overt she is about wanting to leave the company in the song.
@@jasonkeith2832 Considering that the months of work she did necessarily included talking with management about releasing a cover of a song whose lyrics were written by someone else, management would have to be complete imbeciles to not have at least taken a cursory glance at the lyrics before giving her the greenlight to begin work on the MV.
.....actually, you may be right, Niji likely did not take even a cursory glance at the lyrics until after Selen published the MV on her channel.
@@Geoff69420 That's also assuming they weren't just given a "draft" of the lyrics that were different to what the MV had. Or a demo that had said "draft" lyrics, along with the picture with Mysta and Nina cut.
It really is her last cup of coffee, Man
Nah... she's opening up a new cafe. Go swing by Dokibird.
Bro that picture with Selen and Pomu at the end then the showing of the others who've graduated if that's not foreshadowing it sure is a crazy coincidence, a sad one at that. 😥I love Selen and pray she's ok 💜
let's put the drama aside for a bit and admire how beautiful the music video is
This being the last thing we ever got from Selen is so ironic. It’s like she knew. This not being officially available (along with the rest of her content now :/) just makes it feel even worse. It’s like she had to sneak in a final goodbye to us all. Everyone support Dokibird, she needs the dragoons now more than ever
Nijisanji saw "last cup of coffee " and said
Nah i'd win
-10% stocks lol
The Dragon fell and became a Bird… With a smaller body, she’s now free to go wherever she want
I'm calling it: Doki will experience far more happiness in her first year back as an indie than she ever did in that company.
Seeing Elira, Ike and Vox in this one just broke me after what happened :(
this would hurt so bad if the attempt worked I'm glad she s better now
Good god if the attempt had worked this would have become the most controversial event in V-tuber history, and it wouldn’t be topped for quite some time.
Who'd of thought this would wind up being a literal swan song before moving on to a new stage of her career?
coming back here every now and then
2:20 Vox in the back plotting with a smile 😂😂😂
She can now spread her wings even further
Who gave the bird coffee-
Sometimes the world loves its irony. Dokibird sang this song before moving on to something more, then Selen sings it before moving on to something more, now dokibird is back.
dont forget how it feels to be loved selen
now i know what the meaning of this song and why selen tell us to reupload it. she know the last day is gonna happen
Remember, not a single $ was given by Nijisanji to create this. 15K$* all from her own pocket
$15k.
Not a small amount by any means, but nowhere near $50k.
Ah, my bad then
@@quartzninja We don't talk about $50k in here, as well as anywhere else.
To think that so much could be triggered by such an innocent, charming animation and song cover.
After 8 months so much has changed, but we can all agree that this was the beginning of something so much bigger than ourselves
I just pray Selen jumps ship soon and others do too. Niji needs to realize in some way or another that they are just making problems on problems for the non jp branches and the only way you fit into the mold for niji en is if you basically want to just do regular streaming and very little else. People like Selen who are creative and want to get projects done cannot thrive in a company like this.
The choice of this song makes me think she’s already looking to the exit
@lildyo hopefully for her mental health and for her not to be limited by Niji Management
Given the past eighteen months, I'm pretty sure NijiEN management and Anycolour in general could fuck THAT up too. Or as they say down here in Australia, they couldn't organise a root in a brothel.
Selen deserves far better than she's gotten this year from them, and if she walks away after this latest debacle, then the Dragoons and the rest of the Vtubong sphere will know and understand why.
Talent leaving because they don't like the rules and restrictions of being corpo is one thing (Coco, Vesper, Magni, Nina, Mysta...). Losing one of your entire branch's pillars because your leadership is apparently a bunch of drunken, flea infested chimpanzees with their arms where their nipples should be is another.
It is wild to me that they prioritize JP when I’m pretty sure EN is more popular, I just hope all the EN talents get to move to better companies
This. These NijiEN actors/actresses are very talented, and that’s coming from a very distant observer. They absolutely need better working conditions, and stuff like this takedown tells me they are never going to find a good home in Niji.
It’d honestly be amazing at this point if the majority of NijiEN all ends up with Vshojo. What a rising Phoenix situation that’d be!
Say good bye to Selen if you need. But know that Dokibird is still her. She’s still here, and she’s still well, despite the trauma. I’m very grateful for that.
I came here tu hurt myself.... Again, isn't it amezing?
It's back? Lets go?!?!
😢
More like a cover, but better than nothing
Looking back on it, we were this close to lose her forever, it might've been very well her last cup of coffee. I'm glad it's not.
Let's continue to love and support her
The last scene with Nina and Mysta along with the image of the chibi version of everyone completely destroyed me, this song is soo darn cute, would 100% fall asleep to this
If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
the fact literly she sang this song in her pl when she graduated and now this was the last thing she sang as selen tatsuki...
Knowing her accident now and the termination when she was already at her lowest, this song is so much more sad. Whether it be termination or death.. but I keep thinking more about her attempt. Heart is fucking broken.
