Nijisanji EN's 11th wave: BY THE BEAT

The VTuber company Nijisanji introduced the 11th wave of their EN branch BY THE BEAT on March 14, 2025. This review will cover my first impressions of each member before their respective debuts, their individual debut streams, and my thoughts on the wave as a whole.

Seible

Profile

Bio: A bubbly and magnetic Promoter who brings people together and adores attention.
Oshi Mark: 💎👔

First Impressions

A very nice boy! Has not done anything wrong in his life ever (sincere).

Debut Thoughts

He has definitely lived up to my expectations! I did not expect to be hit by that sad backstory, though. It hit a little too close to home.

Kaelix Debonair

Profile

Bio: A laid-back Bouncer with a natural charm who gets things done despite all his slacking.
Oshi Mark: 🎫🕶️

First Impressions

He's probably the memer of the group. With a debut line like "Very debonair, very mindful" how could I not think that?

Debut Thoughts

I WILL KISS THIS MAN ON THE MOUTH. But seriously, he's got an overwhelming charisma and charm! And I will admit I made some ungodly noises throughout his debut stream. Makes me glad I was alone at home while I was watching the program. Other than that, his streams seem like they'll be very cozy based on his taste in games, so I'm hoping to catch him live when I can!

Freodore

Profile

Bio: A serious but lovable Designer passionate about his work both on and off the stage.
Oshi Mark: 💿📌

First Impressions

Seems like a serious and level-headed guy.

Debut Thoughts

He's such a sweetheart! He was very nervous during his portion of the program (and was arguably the most nervous wave member), but I hope his true personality shines through once those debut jitters shake off!

Zeal Ginjoka

Profile

Bio: A reliable Bartender with a shadowy past, renowned for his drink and beat-making skills.
Oshi Mark: 🍸🐍

First Impressions

Daddy? sorry- DADDY? sorry- DADDY? sORRY- (100% JOKING)

Debut Thoughts

This man is SO talented!! He doesn't drop in with just one original song on debut but announces fucking FIVE for a whole-ass debut EP?? Like holy fucking SHIT. I love his sense of humor as well. And he had so many old Vocaloid producers listed in his long list of favorite music artists so he definitely made a really good first impression on me.

Overall Thoughts

I am really happy to see a musically-inclined wave this time around! The last two waves (TTT and Denauth) unfortunately didn't have a strong musical prescence. Hell, TTT's members didn't even sing their own debut song. So I'm glad that we have such a music-centric wave this time around! I will say that I'm a little bummed that it seems like they'll stream at around late afternoon to evening in my timezone regularly which doesn't gel well with my schedule. However, I'll try my best to catch them live when I can!

Their debut song Satellite has a nice, chill beat to it but also makes you wanna get up and dance. I really like it a lot! On top of that, the boys had a music relay in which each of them premiered a music video on their respective channels after the main debut program.

Seible definitely surprised me with such a rough, low voice with his cover of Loveit? when his regular voice is so light and sweet. And those whispers oh my GOD-

Kaelix's cover of アカリがやってきたぞっ is a fun one! A silly song for a silly guy. Very cute and endearing~

A very solid cover of Cascade of Mental Images by Freodore! His voice is smooth and soothing, and this cover really highlights it.

Zeal showed off his original song Medusa's Masquerade during his debut stream but it's nice to see it as a separate video as well! It gives me the vibe of the late 2000s to early 2010s Vocaloid horror genre which makes sense given his music taste. I can't wait to listen to more of his original works!

I wish these boys the best and a congratulations for making it in to Nijisanji EN! You all are gonna go far!
