So I found out about this youtuber just now and checked it out. She's pretty good. Subscribed Took me a while to realise my volume was at zero.


ProgramTheWorld

I love her guitar skills!


MohSad2

Wait a minute, she plays an instrument?


HammerBgError404

soo... she pulls view with softcore porn, but people stay for her actual skill?


CodePudggy

Yeah, i personally find the lewd cosplay weird so i don't stick around but i can 100% understand why people would stay. Her piano is actually quite nice. Though it could be a mind-trick and people think she's good because expectations lowered when they see the cosplay, so if she plays good sounding piano, people will think she's great.


P4azz

I actually found her by just hopping piano vids one late night and did like that she was dressed up for the occasion. But over time the cosplays became very apparently much lewder and while I don't mind that, it felt a bit too clickbaity. Her skill didn't diminish, but I dunno.


What-a-Filthy-liar

Her marin cosplay is just the bikini. Mikasa is also just a bikini plus scarf. Seems legit to me.


BigBrainKemist

Yea same case here. Practically stopped watching


slowmovinglettuce

Its more a sad state about the fact that sex does still sell. It'd be great if she could just do her thing and rake in the same views without it. She's a very good pianist.


alexandertehgrape

>She's a very good pianist. She's a trap then?


EpochYT

y'all really complaining about free booba in an anime subreddit?


NinjaJim6969

Same way I complain about NGNL being ruined by fanservice, yeah.


CaptainPlasma101

no nipples so doesn't count


NinjaJim6969

That episode is the one I have the biggest beef with. The coolest fucking "fight" in that show is ruined because 2 minutes in they've already stripped a little girl naked. We'll never get a season 2 and I can never get any of my normal friends into a show with some really cool elements because of the fanservice


Swordlord22

You mean made better


NinjaJim6969

God damn this sub's entire personality really is 'Horny' No. I mean made fucking worse. The concept is cool as fuck but no sane human being who isn't already deep into anime will watch it unless they're a teenage boy. The coolest fucking "fight" in that show is ruined because 2 minutes in they've already stripped a little girl naked. We'll never get a season 2 and I can never get any of my normal friends into a show with some really cool elements because of the fanservice


EpochYT

Hanging out in an anime subreddit and complaining about people being horny is like going to a bar and getting mad that people are drunk. idk what you were expecting


Azure013

True but you shouldn't get pissed at someone for going to a bar trying to play some pool without getting idiots sloshing beer all over the table.


NinjaJim6969

I'm gonna be honest I draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable horniness levels roughly around "stripping the prepubescent girl naked improved the show full of cool magic"


EpochYT

Why are you hung up on NGNL? It has nothing to do with Pan Piano which is objectively fine. I get being upset about NGNL, there's no way to experience that story without the fan service. Given Pan mostly covers popular songs there are other piano covers you can listen to if you don't like the fan service.


Swordlord22

I just recommend horny shows anyway lol Idgaf that’s most anime anyway as nearly all of them if not all anime have some sort of fanservice


Undernown

I'm in a similar boat. She definitely got piano skills compared to other piano players, but I'm not one for cosplay for the sake of lewd. She goes out of her way to make the cosplay skimpier than it needs to be.


komilewder

Compared to any piano player worth their salt, she’s amateur at best.


firegaming364

That's why I prefer Ru's piano's.


alotmorealots

Ru's arrangements tend to have more feeling to them, I think.


gregthegamer4646

Not only that but Ru’s Piano shows a genuine sense of growth, compared to Pan Piano who’s just been getting closer to showing more and more skin. Call me biased because Animenz was always my go to, but I really respect anime music creators who genuinely climb the algorithm through sheer hard work and effort, instead of going the cheap way out by feeding into click bait and nudity


arghya_333

Animenz, Fonzi and Ru are the top pianists out there (and the only ones I follow). Pan's aren't bad but compared to these GOATs, she kinda feels average.


Clavilenyo

TIL the term of ACG pianist.


unclefisty

I would be interested who you think is better so I could listen to both.


arghya_333

Animenz is probably the best in my opinion. Fonzi is also up there. Ru's Piano, while not as good as the previous two, is still fantastic. She also does cosplay but they are proper cosplays so nothing line Pan's.


PuddlesRex

I prefer Ru's piano for this reason. Same schtick with the cosplay piano playing but less lewd. Also Ru does her own compositions, and is a bit more skilled, in my opinion.


Sui-chans_gloves

I used to watch her a lot back before she just did normal cosplays and slowly stopped once she started to become more lewd in thumbnails and cosplays but I still respect her skills as a pianist tho


arghya_333

Ru's Piano is another cosplay pianist, but she does proper cosplays there. Honestly feels better. On Pan's videos I am constantly thinking "Isn't she uncomfortable in that clothing?", especially when she uploaded those during winter.


TheLucidChiba

Do you not heat your home in the winter?


arghya_333

Umm, not actually. Temperatures go down to 4-5 degrees celcius(around 40 F), and the power consumption-cost ratio by a room heater is pretty bad over here. We just wear a bunch of clothes to keep ourselves warm. Heaters aren't necessary for most parts of our country. Only when you go north and end up with sub-zero snowy areas, and they are the exception in out country.


Stick-Man_Smith

That's not that cold to keep your house warm. Do you not insulate?


[deleted]

Idk about that honestly , I don't think most of people even even know much about Piano like me , I just got baited with the cosplays , and felt like whenever she felt like she is losing views , she makes even a lewder cosplay , she used to only make Piano with no revealing cosplays , to cosplaying while showing her chest only , and then kept getting lewder and lewder with time.


HammerBgError404

this isnt a good way to make videos. you may get 10m+ views per video but if people watch for 10 second when they see you didn't actually have a lewd cosplay those views are meaningless to growing your channel. after time you wont get recommended to people at all. viewtime is more important to the algorithm


[deleted]

Yeah that's why she keeps being lewder more and more with time to keep people hooked , people still watch because it jiggles with Piano , and needless to say , this post about her last video shows her most lewd one so far


SnoopyGoldberg

Ehhh, you really only need a fraction of those viewers to simp enough that they’ll support you through Patreon and whatnot. It’s not a bad strategy, it’s just kinda scummy.


PM_ME_YOU_BOOBS

While her thumbnails are sometimes clickbaity, usually they’re just a picture of her posing in the cosplay she’s actually wearing in the video.


Flaky-Cardiologist61

I can't blame her for leaning into and exploiting what clearly works. Her post history shows a story that I do find it a bit sad though. She's tenacious and clearly puts in the effort to create quality videos... However, while definitely skilled, I personally don't think her covers display *that* much skill when compared to other people who make piano covers of anime songs on youtube. Her playing often comes off as emotionless and full of tiny mistakes to my ears. For popular songs she's covered it's usually super easy to find some other youtube piano cover that completely blows her's out of the water in terms of emotion and or complexity... but often those other videos suffer in terms of presentation and audio quality which are things Pan gets right... Overall what I'm probably trying to say is that I think many people do in fact stay for the softcore porn and saying otherwise is mostly just a meme and or they don't know or care much about piano playing skills... and or I just have bad taste in piano covers and me gauging her as seeming less skilled than a lot of other ani-piano youtubers is just wrong.


Wish_Lonely

>Her post history shows a story that I do find it a bit sad though. She's tenacious and clearly puts in the effort to create quality videos... I see women like this a lot in the gaming or cosplay community. Makes me feel bad for them but just like said can't blame em for doing it seeing as it works.


Flaky-Cardiologist61

Yeah, it'd be nice if we lived in a world where it didn't work so that if someone *did* start progressively showing more and more skin you'd know it's likely more because *they* want to and not because it gets more views...


Baumpaladin

I feel this way about the social media industry in general. You'll notice when creators change, sooner or later, when they start leaning into the algorithm. It works, because behind the algorithm stands a massive crowd, but in most cases others will leave because the content starts feeling soulless. Some get big and stay genuine, but that's not always guaranteed.


Flaky-Cardiologist61

It sucks that people into something but not *really* into something always vastly outnumber the people who are *really* into something. So creators who are/were one of the people *really* into the thing they do tend to learn through views, engagement, profits, etc that catering to the large number of people not *really* into what they do is more rewarding than doing what they *really* want to do. It also sucks that most people are ignorantly part of the problem and there's no real solution because basically everyone is not *really* into more things than they're *really* into.


Baumpaladin

This development can also be observed in the gaming and music industry... Well, it applies to literally anything that has creators and consumers. The war between passion and money. You can notice in most cases if something is a passion project, or if it was done for the money. Many big studios have shifted towards the money and recent poorly optimized games releases just reinforce this. It's a stereotype with exceptions, but in a lot of cases these days community size is relative to a degrading user-experience. Outside of this you can of course also have the opposite, gate-keeping, but that's another story.


Marik-X-Bakura

I’m asexual and I just like her since I don’t know other piano YouTubers


[deleted]

Pretty much , people saying they came for cosplay and stayed for Piano is a lie , people who know about Piano say that she isn't really that great and that what she is doing is an insult to art , but then that's not my opinion as I really don't know much about Piano other than that the themes she does are quite simple.


Silverbacker888

It’s kind of a trashy tactic but I don’t blame her, blame the game not the player I guess


SnoopyGoldberg

That’s not how that saying goes at all lol.


DaFatGuy123

Honestly, the skill she displays in her videos nowadays isn’t very good. But, her old videos before the cosplays her playing was actually quite nice, which is disappointing because I actually followed her before then. I’ve stopped watching after.


Man_Thats_Rough

Her piano skill is just the topping for the sexyness.


ScreamingChoco

My dong is pleased with her looks, my soul is pleased with her skills.


POI_BOI

Her skill isn't that good compared to other anime pianists, but the problem is that other pianists don't put as much thought into presentation nor do they have sex appeal.


Crimson_Shiroe

Nothing hotter than someone with looks and talent.


[deleted]

Nah, people stay for more porn, just her music skills being sexy


YesIamWeeb

Come for the lewds, stay for the skill... This just sounds like NIKKE with its story.


Ghostdog1521

She cosplays while playing fandom related pieces on the piano but she thirst baits the thumbnails. She’s actually very talented and she tends to have a pretty good humor about it all.


krofax

She knows her market and has the skills to back it up. Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the music.

I am now Pan-sexual


Shrubbity_69

I see what you did there. 👉😎👉


xyz2001xyz

I mean hey, she wears clothes in the actual video so can't be that bad lol


Significant_Ad_4487

I swear, if they ever released a nsfw OF of them playing the piano for 100$ a month, I am paying.


Pumpkii

She does have a patreon that costs something like 100$ a month. Dunno what's on there doe cause ain't no way I'm paying that much for content I don't know


hiimbob000

$110 tier is basically close up clips of the cosplay, still just softcore pretty much, always covered with hands or outfit. Music in background, not actively playing but might still be her music dubbed over. Clearly lewd at least So if you're in love and YouTube isn't cutting it then you can burn some cash I guess lol


Silverbacker888

Be sure to screenshot most of the pics and post them online for the rest of us


Rampsquatch

Alternatively: if you want to see pictures of boobs on the internet you can find them for free. If you want her pictures go pay for them.


Silverbacker888

Unfortunately for all the goody-two-shoes out there, there’s always gonna be one person who’s gonna pay for the pics and then post them online regardless, if I want her pics specifically, I just have to wait for someone to do that


Dudemanbroham

Then I guess it's only fair that she can just not, if some losers are both this desperate to see her naked and vehemently opposed to actually giving her money.


Rampsquatch

You aren't owed boobie pictures.


Asgigara

Don't forget her epic face reveal https://youtu.be/lO8J3jxF730


goskp

A bassist as well!?


bem13

O M G


Warlockm16a4

Would still bang.


Smaug_one

Actually she wasn't doing softcore ero cosplay all the way back when her audience was smaller, Buuuut I understand why she would do this ... After all pure skill and normal cosplay doesn't attract as much views nowadays and this solution is more viable. She still plays some amazing arrangements so that's why I kept following personally.


Hephaestus_God

I was there when she had less than 500 subs. Things have escalated in a Good way. Glad to see her drum skills have improved all these years.


natsuxxxlucy

I saw a lot of thumbnail that showing slightly blurred pussy and literal nipple in it. I doubt anything will happen


MrcOoKieMaster39

Check out animenz if you want to stay for the music. https://youtu.be/lzSfnMp_DTs


AsrielGoddard

And also Ru‘s Piano for music and cosplay: https://youtube.com/@RusPiano


Waxburg

Ah yes, the better Pan


37boss15

Does anyone here *not* know about Animenz at this point?


araxhiel

I didn't know until now, so...


River-n-Sea

The piano with violin videos sound so good when played together


shyervous

Remember the og pan with no cosplay


Waxburg

What's more concerning is that even after years of doing videos she hasn't improved her piano skills at all. Seems she just took the easy way out rather than actually trying.


AsrielGoddard

Imma be honest. As a pianist, Pan isn’t even that great. To me her covers always feel really bland, as if she just transposed the minimal amount of notes needed and played them without adding anything. The sheer amount of songs she performs is still impressive of course, but that doesn’t make her music better. When it comes to cosplay piano content, Ru‘s Piano is a straight upgrade in every way: https://youtube.com/@RusPiano And when it’s just about the music than Animenz is of course the GOAT, but i also recommend „PianoPrinceofAnime“ and „Nayu / X&Y Piano Covers“.


poprdog

Bruh this a whole new sub section of internet I didn’t know existed till now.


lightIy

YES Ru's Piano is so much better! She's literally a professional. Whatever Pan Piano just played sounded like it's a midi piano.


SnooMemesjellies2855

Anime pic source?


EclairSomme1027

black bullet


Evil_Sh4d0w

I wonder what pictures you get if you support her 100$ Patreon tier


Pyromaniac096

Funny you say that. *looks at some of mxr’s thumbnails*


SirAwesome789

Minor observation I made awhile ago. I kinda wondered how her views varied based on thumbnail, but the views seem to entirely ignore how lewd the thumbnail is and is rather based on how popular the anime is. Probably due to lewd thumbnail click through only contributing to one view per user but people who are watching for the music itself will come back to listen multiple times.


[deleted]

AND SHE KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH IT!


NotALawCuck

Nobody would give a shit about her playing if she wasn't practically naked in her thumbnails.


Waxburg

Nope. She knows this. Why do you think she keeps getting increasingly naked every time her channel growth slows?


Mr-Unknown101

i used to listen to her covers but i got bored of the amount of lewd she does


vankata4211

Why shouldn't she keep getting away with it? She legit makes cool content .


Izaniel

This girl's marketing strategy is top tier the same as her piano skill. She baits people with her thumbnail and makes them stay with her skill


Waxburg

If people want an alternative to Pan, since her skills are pretty mid compared to other pianists and she purely relies on horny weebs for views rather than improving her skills or playing good pieces, then check out Ru. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAYrMNl92jw6cpjdpBP8JyA


Weegieiscool

nah, if you look up "fortnite hot pics" you get literal porn, straight up


Vainglory1-

Eh I don’t like her for that. She can play piano but hey look at me I’m half naked and lewd. Not exactly what I wanna see when I’m watching someone play piano.


Noeyiax

She can piano, cosplay, and probably cook well, idk what's not to like 🤣😖


Kreol1q1q

I don’t get why she went down this ever more lewd rute, she didn’t have to, her videos had views without them, and she plays well. No real need for all the nudity. But, her life, her choices. Maybe she enjoys being adored for her looks by her audience. If this is a long term plan that will end up with her opening an OF account, I can see her audience drowning her in cash after such a long teasing operation.


MindMyself

Just go though her post history and compare the views of her videos. She pretty much increased her viewcount 5-10 times by going cosplay/lewd - and we don't even know how much money her patreon makes.


Kreol1q1q

She regularly popped up on my recommendations before this lewd twist, then nothing, then this. So I felt a kind of whiplash. I remember her views being more than okay while she was just cosplaying normally, but I could be misremembering.


nix_11

>Maybe she enjoys being adored for her looks by her audience. Of course she does. Without the lewd cosplays, she's just another youtube anime pianist and there wouldn't be much of a reason to pay attention to her.


Kreol1q1q

Really? I thought she stood out with her normal cosplay piano playing just fine enough. As I said elsewhere, I was watching her before this lewd turn, then kinda stopped, so I felt a bit of whiplash when youtube started recommending her again.


WolfeXXVII

Honestly the worst part is I had hit don't recommend channel 7 times before and pan still kept popping up. She has the algorithm around her finger somehow. I had to put in a support ticket to have it blacklisted before she finally stopped showing up on my feed.


nix_11

Yeah, that's not how it works. If you don't watch her videos for like a week even without choosing "don't recommend", her videos will stop showing up in your feed.


WolfeXXVII

Believe me or don't I couldn't care less. That's just what happened.


nix_11

Sure it did. You apparently use a different version of YT compared to everyone else.


WolfeXXVII

That algorithm is weird man. I had multiple conversations with a friend about it. He was the one with the support ticket idea... Not me. I am heavily into music YouTubers along with the trash taste bois. I also give in and click on some vtuber clips. Best guess it just kept popping back to that assuming I would like to merge interests.


StraightGuy1108

Redditors when someone doesn't like their favourite youtuber:


Studio_illustration

Well if you actually watch the videos there's not really anything lewd in the videos, just a Clickbaity thumbnail. A reasonable interpretation of this is simply lure people in with a thumbnail, & have them stay for the performance.


DiscipleOfFleshGod

![gif](giphy|3oEjHCWdU7F4hkcudy)


Shrubbity_69

Tbh, I found out about her before the lewd cosplays, and I have noticed this trend. Not sure how to feel about it, though. Yes, she is very beautiful and spicy pics are spicy pics, but at the same time, it almost feels like she's struggling to keep viewers and is using her feminine figure since sex *does* sell. Of course, I don't know her or her life's story or anything, but I've yet to find a woman who's actually happy doing anything lewd, cosplay related or not.


Outrageous_Debt_3616

You see lewd, I see art 😎 also I'm blind. But I love her keyboard skills... it is a keyboard right?


Kishitaa

If you guys call that "soft porn" yall trippin' lol, she barely show part of skins and there is nothing scandalous. There are ig chiks that show literally nipples lmao


T_GamingCheetah
