It has been confirmed that information about the new talents of ANYCOLOR Inc.’s VTuber group NIJISANJI EN (New) was leaked before the official announcement, and that this information has been circulated mainly in VTuber community.
ANYCOLOR announces the debut of NIJISANJI EN (New) new 3 talents, “Yu Q. Wilson,” “Vantacrow Bringer,” and “Vezalius Bandage“.
On the other hand, it has been pointed out that information on the VTuber community, such as character design images of new talents, may have been “leaked” and exposed on the English-speaking bulletin board site “4channel” before the information was disclosed by ANYCOLOR.

This image is extremely similar to the character design image in the press release to the extent that it appears to be identical, suggesting that information about the new talents was likely leaked before ANYCOLOR’s official announcement.
Some listeners and fans are also speculating that the release of information on the new talents at 9AM (JST) (instead of 12PM (JST), when the company frequently releases press releases) may have been hastily moved up in response to the above information leak.
Previous Incidents of Suspected “Information Leakage”?
Regarding the alleged leak of information about NIJISANJI EN (New), it has been revealed that a few hours before ANYCOLOR announced the termination of Zaion LanZa’s contract on March 10, a person claiming to be Kyo Kaneko, a talent from the same group, may have leaked information on “4channel” that Zaion’s contract would be terminated.
Zaion’s contract termination will be announced in a couple of hours. I just wanted you guys to know that you were all instrumental in making this happen. We’ve been wanting to get rid of this stinky b*tch behind the scenes for a while now, so all the evidence you guys collected about the things she’s done really helped make that happen. She doesn’t have any friends internally, so our cliques were able to sway management’s decision quite a bit as well. The nail in the coffin was all the 4*hanners rallying behind her. They pretty much made it impossible to keep her on, so good job guys!

The “NIJISANJI EN (New)” we use is to distinguish it from the original “NIJISANJI EN (former NIJISANJI IN / India)” that existed in the past.
