Regis Altare hopes Alban Knox collab \u201copens the gate\u201d for Hololive & NIJISANJI YouTube: Regis Altare \/ YouTube: Alban KnoxRegis Altare and Alban Knox are breaking down barriers between Hololive and NIJISANJI EN with the two stars collabing for the first time. The VTuber revealed how it came to being, and his hopes for \u201copening the gate\u201d for more streams between the agencies. The walls between Hololive and NIJISANJI have been torn down this week. For more than two years, the English-speaking talents of the two agencies have never collaborated, and previous attempts were shot down at the last second. However that deadlock was broken when TEMPUS guild leader Regis Altare announced his Terraria stream with Alban Knox on October 15. It will be the first collaboration between Hololive EN and NIJISANJI EN, more than two years after the former debuted with Myth. The collaboration is a big moment for the two agencies and their talents, who have long expressed their desires to crossover. They are big supporters of each other on Twitter, but never appeared on stream together. Regis Altare doesn\u2019t want to get \u201ctoo meta\u201d with it though, and told fans ahead of the collaboration it\u2019s just two friends playing games together \u2014 and that\u2019s all it should be. \u201cWe messaged each other and I was like \u2018bro\u2019. And he was like \u2018bro\u2019. And like, \u2018bro\u2019. And then the collab was made,\u201d he laughed. \u201cHe\u2019s really cool. He\u2019s fun. We played a little Zomboid off stream and we were talking like \u2018hey why can\u2019t we have a collab between us? What\u2019s stopping us?\u2019 We talked to our managers, we talked to the company, and we were like \u2018can we push this through?\u2019 It took a lot of talking. \u201cI\u2019m hoping with this collab here, I don\u2019t want to get too meta with it, but my thoughts on this. It\u2019s sincerely just that I want to play with Alban Knox because he\u2019s cool. He\u2019s my friend. And that\u2019s all it should be at the end of the day. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be anything about numbers. It shouldn\u2019t be about companies or the VTuber world, whatever it is. It\u2019s really all just about \u2018I want to play with this cool guy,\u2019 right?\u201d As for what it means for the future between the two agencies? Regis wants there to be more collaboration between Hololive and NIJISANJI. There\u2019s already been another stream between Selen Tatsuki, Kureiji Ollie, and Vestia Zeta confirmed, and fans want more. The talents just want to play on stream with their friends, regardless of their agency affiliation. \u201cI don\u2019t know if this is going to open up things for more people,\u201d he continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to make it so others can do collabs too. \u201cBut in the future if this does lead to a future where any of the talents from any companies can collaborate without fear of fans, of companies, of getting dunked on the internet. I really hope this can be the first step towards opening the gate. Someone\u2019s gotta do it right? \u201cAlban and I, we both talked about this, and we said things have got to change. So maybe starting from this we can make small changes. We can\u2026 lead the charge. It\u2019s nothing about companies. We just want to play games because we\u2019re friends. I hope people can understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
