End of Year Write-up
I know I haven't kept up with the news or updating this place since september, so I'll try to write up the most relevant news of the past 3 months into a single post and try to start wrapping things up a bit. (Although, I'm expecting some more graduations before January 1st).
Since we're having data storage problems right now, expect the portraits to be uploaded at a later date.
Talent: Lola Loading
Affiliation: Taiyaki Studios
Graduation date: September 12th
DETAILS:
Lola Loading was the new identity of the recently graduated YFUBaby, and she was (seemingly) uneremoniously graduated after a month of inactivity. Prior to the announcement, her last tweet was a stream cancellation on Aug 28th. On September 12th it was made known to the public that she wouldn't be continuing her activities and there wouldn't be a graduation stream. (

Days later, FalseEyeD put out a
video exposé about the company, recounting what transpired (
Forum post). Taiyaki Studios posted a LONG reply on twitter debunking False's statements. (

Talent: Xia Ekavira, Mika Melatika, Riksa Dhihendara
Affiliation: Nijisanji (ex Niji-ID)
Graduation date: Announced October 20th
DETAILS:
To keep up with tradition and coming close to their goal to erase their ID branch, NIJISANJI announced the graduation of yet another 3 ex-ID talents.
The dates are the following:
Xia - November 27th
Mika - December 28th
Riksa - January 11th 2024
This annonuncement came to no one's surprise, since Nijisanji has been slowly shedding off their ex ID branch talents. However, Mika's case was even more expected because she lost her closest coworkers from Niji in the past few months (Nina and Mysta, who were already brought back by Vshojo). The announcement was made through the usual channels and with the same kind of document Niji has been known for.
Agency: Shirayuri Productions
Graduation date: November 8th
DETAILS:
Like with Tsunderia before it, Shirayuri Pro is disbanding. This agency was mostly known for being Nyaru's agency (one of TVA's favorites chocolate tubers).
Nyaru posted a
waiting room for an announcement stream where she read Management's statement about the reasons of the agency's dissolution (CEO's bad health, internal limitations, etc). An agreement was reached and every talent under their umbrella will retain their IPs, channels, and related socials. Woman tears were had.

Talent: Riro Ron
Affiliation: IDOL Project:Star
Graduation date: November 28th
DETAILS:
Riro was terminated on November 28th after getting a bit too silly. Idol released a
document wher they say that she not only met with fans in person, accepted gifts from them and boinked them but also accused her of streaming under the influence of heavy narcotics and being in a secret relationship with her manager. This came after a suspension in early november that came immediately after a very spicy ASMR stream. Clips are easily found, it was joked about it by Parrot4Chan in YT and it also has it's own thread. Riro's PL (kyOresu) posted a rather
confrontational tweet after the termination was made known to the public.

Talent: Yuki Chihiro, Azuhi Momo
Affiliation: Nijisanji
Graduation date: January 31st
DETAILS:
More Niji graduations, but from the JP branh this time. What surprised most people was Chihiro's graduation since she's a 1st Wave talent (Momo is from Wave 3).

Talent: Cheri Lupina, Erika Byakko
Affiliation: V-Reverie
Announced December 12th
DETAILS:
Some of VReverie's biggest earners are leaving the company. This only brought to light that most of the company's current talents are starting to re-activate their past live's accounts. Both talents posted personal statements on their social media, along with the main statement from VReverie's own twitter.
The graduation dates are as follow:
Erika Byakko - January 7th
Cheri Lupina - January 28th
It's expected that more talents announce their graduations soon (Tsunderia 2.0 type event).
