Thank you for your continued support of the talents affiliated with hololive production.
We would like to take a moment to address some details regarding the term “conclusion of streaming activities.”
“Graduation” and “Conclusion of Streaming Activities”
Until now, when talents end their activities with hololive production, we have always referred to it as “graduation.”
The term graduation describes when a talent is leaving the production and concluding all activities, with the exception of a few ongoing projects.
However, this complete cessation of activities is often accompanied by significant sadness brought to the fans of hololive production and its talents, who have lovingly supported their journey, and the staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
Therefore, we are exploring new ways to positively send off talents departing the production.
As part of this, we have introduced the concept “conclusion of streaming activities” as a possible form of graduation. While it is still a type of graduation, “conclusion of streaming activities” involves stopping streaming-related activities, such as that for YouTube and social media, and participation in events.
This approach opens the door for future opportunities where, upon mutual agreement between the production and the talent, they may make special appearances in future projects - similar to a graduate visiting their alma mater.
How much talents will participate in these kinds of projects will vary based on the circumstances of each talent and the production, and as such, the “conclusion of streaming activities” for each talent may not always be the same. We kindly ask for the understanding and patience of fans in this regard.
It is also important to note that neither of the terms “graduation” or “conclusion of streaming activities” outweigh or trump the other. Our goal as a production is to provide a meaningful and supportive new beginning for our talents, and we believe that any form of departure is a decision by the talent that is to be respected.
Towards a More Inclusive and Diverse Production
As we celebrate the 7th anniversary of hololive production, the activities of our affiliated talents have expanded into many different areas and the unwavering support of our fans has been a tremendous source of strength for both talents and the production.
We remain committed to fostering an environment where fans can support their favorite talents as they embark on a new journey, while minimizing feelings of anxiety and sadness, and creating a brighter and more fulfilling future for all.
Thank you once again for your incredible support of hololive production and its talents.
