I hope I'm not late on this, but Koe has given some good thoughts on the recent graduations at Hololive:
Though I don't agree about Gura giving it her all for 5 years, the last two years she's hasn't.
A commenter has a good point:
"Wow, a sensible, rational take on the situation! So refreshing, glad to see someone else think like me. Koe actually hit on something I missed - the investors. With how long Gura has been absent, it's obvious (at least to me) that Cover was okay with talents taking their time to get into the right head space... but then add investors to the picture who see the world's most popular talent not streaming, it doesn't take much imagination to see them hassling manager to get the talent back out there and making more money. I believe Cover still has the best intentions for the talent, but pressure from above can be heavy, daunting, and misguided. Yagoo certainly seems concerned about it, with his "tea time" meetings any of the talents can have with him.Ultimately, Gura's graduation while sad, was inevitable. It also seems her sudden rocket to fame didn't do her any good mentally, so here's to wishing her the best in what ever she does in the future."
