Weird to say the least... But if people simping for the vtuber means we'll get the whole thing adapted, then be my guest.
It's the TOHO animation channel though, where they don't have comments turned on.
Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.
Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

That's not that uncommon all things considered, PR doesn't seem to be the forte of most Japanese companies. Too corporate and protective of their assets to a fault.
That feels a bit too scripted haha. Bit unnatural.
The Wisewolf will eventually learn the ways of streaming in the 21st century.
Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:
-
The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).
-
Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.
-
Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.
-
Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.
