I redacted the info from my previous post, because since 39Daph blamed the Farms for the reason she doesn't collab with V-Tubers anymore (despite the site being down and this thread being unable to organise a party in a nightclub), I'd rather avoid posting anything that could put my favourites in bad situations.
But it's actually a little bothersome that Altare has kind of inadvertently taken credit for this on stream when it seems the girls have been working for months to get their collabs through the door, and NijiFes is the only reason one of them didn't already happen weeks ago.
Circumstance has led to Altare being the guy that 'got it done' in the public consciousness when the reality actually seems to be that he and Alban got it so quickly because the girls have been spending most of this year laying the groundwork already, and tbh that does actually make me a little MATI (even though I joked the other day that I'd be fine with them taking the W on the matter.)
I think he and Alban have actually realised this too, as they've seemingly pushed back their collab from tomorrow to the 'near future' - likely to let one or multiple of the girls go first. Alban has been very open about Selen being his inspiration so it doesn't seem out of character for him to request this.
