Before I get all sappy and shit, I guess going down the checklist for this type of stuff:
- All of her VODS, covers, and videos will stay up
- This was a decision she's had for months. Of course, she's thought about telling Niji that she doesn't actually want to leave and to scrap the letter, but in the end, felt like leaving was the best option for her.
- The last two big things from her are her mv for her orisong, which kept on getting delayed because her team kept on hitting roadblocks, and her Lazulight project that she was collecting art for. The Lazulight project was supposed to come out for their 2nd anniversary, but she didn't time things correctly so it turned into her graduation gift.
I could crack jokes like how Holo has their next gen geared up or how Vshojo's retirement home is growing, but I'm sure you all have that down pat for me, so I will leave it to you guys. As Pomu said, this graduation was a long time coming, and we could already see the writing on the wall. I think the nail in the coffin for me was when she was on Mika's graduation stream and Mika cracked a joke about not being able to see Pomu again. The fairy giggled and sent Mika a dm, which in turn made Mika laugh out loud. I'm pretty sure this was Pomu telling Mika she was also graduating lol. She was also pushing to finish the sanctuary soon, which wouldn't be a flag, but Pomu never really rushed the process this hard. It's always hard to see pillars of the company go, first Chihiro and now Pomu, but I will always send them off with a smile because of how much hard work they put into entertaining us and keeping people happy. Pomu's been through hell and back in this company, and she will not be hesitant to say how rough it's been in Niji, but it makes me somewhat happy that she's leaving with her head held high. I'm happy that she's able to say farewell with the attitude that while her time in Niji was far from perfect and that it's been
really rough, she comes out of this as a better person. Our journey with Pomu is coming to an end, but hopefully we'll be able to meet again elsewhere!
Elira and Pomu are the duo I never knew I needed and I will miss it dearly. Pomu acts like she's the only one obsessed with Elira and that Elira is an unwilling participant in their dynamic, but Elira loves Pomu just as much. Elira loves big and I can't imagine how hard it's been to lose her emotional rock (Nina) and one of her best friends (Pomu) in such a short span of time, but hopefully she makes it out just fine. During her Valo and OW2 stream, which I can't believe I sat through, she said how hard 2024 was starting off, but that she wants to make this year her bitch. I sincerely hope that she is able to and I will happily be a part of that journey all the way through.
Never forget to tell your oshi that you love them.
