You can check out who dropped by to visit Shien's graduation stream here too, if you're curious! Thanks for always collecting these!

I know in my head that six members leaving is a LOT, but it really hits all the more while collecting these just how many people are gone now. The loss feels...physical...you know? I'm going to need a mental and emotional break for a while, and if I'm really being honest, then I probably needed that break a long time ago.

But I don't think I could've really stopped myself anyway. And I'm glad that I could tune in to as much of their streams as I could to send the graduating members off with a smile alongside everyone in chat!

I wish they could've graduated under better circumstances, that they could've done it after accomplishing their goals, when they were ready, with as few regrets as possible... I'm still so angry at whichever irresponsible and incompetent suits/investors let this mismanagement and inefficient marketing get so bad that it reached this point.

But we gotta do the best with what we have. I hope everyone — graduating talents, remaining talents, illustrators, riggers, composers, mixers, friends, supporters, and fans, can find closure. I hope they all properly take care of themselves.

I hope the graduating talents have a bright future wherever they go from here! And I know the remaining talents will continue doing their best and working hard, so I want our love and support to keep reaching them!! I hope they all continue to know how beloved they are from all corners of the world!!!

I'm sorry for tagging this as "unsubbed" when it's technically JP subs and no EN translation. Please check out the clip if the JP subs help with translating, and check out the original stream source as well!

From my limited understanding, it sounds like talking about meeting with a graduated talent vs talking about meeting with a terminated talent is complicated? I thought I understood the general gist of the clip when I watched it, but I had no idea this topic was a lot heavier than I expected... I had no idea how much they must've been dealing with...

Now that it's all out in the open, though, I hope they can find peace. I hope this will stop any more future questions or comments on the matter, and I hope this will help everyone move forward.

I still love all members of Uproar, both past and present. I hope Gamma continues drawing wherever he is, that Rio continues singing wherever he goes, and I want to keep supporting Fuma, Uyu, and the remaining Holostars members. I know Fuma and Uyu will keep doing their best as Uproar's remaining members, so I hope the fans' love and support will continue to reach them

Nyamashuva Lutz is a member of the third generation from Nyantasia!, a JP cat girl vtuber agency that started as a joint project between Sanrio and Nippon TV's ClaN Entertainment.

She announced that she would be hosting the 黒騎士杯 (Dark Knight Cup), how it'd be organized, and the teams that would be participating back on June 13th:

You can watch the tournament on Nyamashuva Lutz's twitch channel (she has a VOD on Youtube now too), if you're interested! One of Axel's teammates, Granite, streamed his POV of the tournament as well!

Axel talked about joining a Sanrio vtuber's JP League tournament in one of his Dave the Diver DLC streams, but I honestly couldn't find any information on it until the tournament had already happened... I also don't understand anything about how it's organized either because I don't know anything about League.

Regardless, I'm happy to learn that Axel's team won! Congrats, Axel and Critical 20%🎉

*I am not Nihongo Jouzu. As always, please feel free to add anything I missed, add/edit translations. I really want a proper translation of Sora and Rio's conversation, myself

I'm glad that Astel can still joke around even though all this must be hitting him pretty hard. Unsurprisingly, Hakka had a whole lot to say, and I hope he takes care of himself too. Bad Boyz forever!!

Fuma and Uyu, being Rio's genmates and all, also had a lot to say in their respective streams after the live was over.

Sora's talked about Rio since he's also a powerful singer, and she used to worry about how singers usually attract people who only care about music. There was a general trend that HoloPro talents known for their music had trouble attracting an audience that would show interest in their usual streaming activities. Izuru's talked about how people will show up for his karaoke and covers, but they're not so interested in his game streams or zatsudans too.

I feel like she really has checked in on Rio once in a blue moon ever since his debut... Even if it was only for a little bit, thank you so much for watching over our ghost idol, Sora-daisenpai!!

I'm so glad that Rio was able to pull off a graduation live after everything. I'm so grateful to his manager, to every guest, to Kimassi Studio, to all the staff-san, to everyone who helped make his graduation live possible. Rio put so much of his own money into this too. I hope he knows how much the fans recognize his effort, how much this meant to the guests who joined him, and that above all, I hope he believes that all the hard work and effort that went into making this 3D live happen was worth it.

Check out these two posts for their final messages, the ones where they write and doodle over a photo, too! And check out this post if you missed someone who showed up in Rio's chat! Thanks again for collecting all these!!

*I am working on the HoloPro tweet collection post too! Please be patient! And as always, feel free to add anything I missed and edit/add translations!

I felt it would be appropriate to make a post for everyone outside of HoloPro who shared the final stage with Rio, for the one who wrote a song for him, and for the people who helped make this live happen (Big Love and Big Thank You to Rio's manager too!!)

Who would've thought that Holostars and Atanaru would grow so close after that big collab together? They've made such great friends! I hope they can all stay in touch in the future

I was super surprised when Whale Taylor suddenly replied to Rio about making an original song... I'm really glad that they were able to finish the song in time and that Rio had enough time to practice it for the graduation live! It's such a beautiful song!! Considering who worked on it, it was as expected that it'd be amazing music

I also wanted to bring some attention to Kimassi Studio! Apparently, they're affordable to the point that even smaller vtubers are able to book an appointment? There were only 2 staff members present, but the quality of their camera work was amazing! They paid so much attention to the expressions too! I'm so glad that Rio could find a 3D studio that could produce a live performance with this level of quality!

You can find their final messages, the ones where they doodle and write on their photos, here! And if you missed any of them showing up in Rio's chat, then you can check out this post here! Thanks so much for collecting these too!!

Rikka and Shien have talked about how they'll still be credited as their Holostars personas in their voice-acting work. And Miyabi also talked about how he can still participate in Rio's graduation 3D live despite graduating before him.

The "affiliate" status certainly aligns with a lot of what the graduating talents have said, but I'm wondering why all graduating talents used the term, "graduate," and never used the term, "affiliate?" And it might just be me not knowing enough JP, but to me, the tone of a lot of these graduation streams felt very final and very "you won't see me using this model again (with the exception of Rio's 3D live)"

Part of me wonders if they only have the "affiliate" status so that they're allowed to join Rio's 3D live and so Rikka and Shien won't run into complications for their voice acting work... As far as we know, Holostars doesn't appear to have any other events planned where they could potentially invite their new affiliated talents.

But I guess all we can do is be patient and see what happens next. "Affiliate" means they can be invited for events, so if there are any other future events, then we might see these affiliated talents again?

Check out this post if you're curious about who dropped by to chat in Arurandeisu's graduation stream too!

I have no plans to make a collection post of tweets from people outside of HoloPro because it will take forever if I try to do it on my own with the limitations I have. If no one has any plans to make a collection post of tweets from people outside of HoloPro, then please feel free to share those tweets here if you'd like

As expected, a TON of people outside of HoloPro said their farewells to Aru-san too!

*I am not Nihongo Jouzu. Please feel free to add any tweets I missed, correct translations/add translations!

I've already said this once in the past, but I suppose it bears repeating because I don't want to see people throwing out baseless accusations on this sub:

Just because you don't see a HoloPro talent tweet about the recent graduations doesn't mean they have malicious intent. Some talents prefer not to make tweets, some choose to address it in their public streams and/or in membership, if they choose to address it at all.

We are currently in one of, if not THE darkest period in Holostars history. Some talents may need more time and/or a break from online activity to process their feelings too. Please give people some space to grieve.

And don't read too much into every little thing. It's exhausting.

In addition to HoloPro, model designers, and riggers, Rikka's had quite a few reactions to his graduation from people outside HoloPro he's worked with too. People from Nijisanji, Neoporte, people he's sang with, people who worked on his original songs like Bernis (they dropped by in his graduation stream chat too), etc.

If no one has any plans to make a collection of tweets from people outside of HoloPro's farewells to Rikka, then I'd be happy to see some of those tweets in this thread! Because of twitter's new AI-run automated support system wrongfully suspending thousands of legitimate accounts (including mine), it's much more difficult for me to collect those tweets on my own now

*I am not Nihongo Jouzu. Please feel free to add any tweets I missed, correct translations/add translations, etc.

I remember Oga raided into Miyabi's graduation stream, and then Arurandeisu, Rikka, Temma, Shien, Rio, Axel, Hakka, Shinri, Jurard, Suisei, Matsuri, and Ollie all stopped by in the chat too

Everyone seriously sent Miyabi off with so much love... We see all their messages! We see how much Miyabi meant to everyone!! Thank you for loving and supporting Miyabi with us!

**I am not Nihongo Jouzu!! And if I miss any tweets from anyone or you want to correct translations/add translations, then please feel free to do so!

*I'm doing a collection of tweets for Miyabi too! There's just so many for Miyabi that he needs his own image set post

I put the Hanakishi tweets together with Temma's tweets since Miyabi joined Temma's graduation stream and basically made it into a Hanakishi graduation stream that ended with a Hanakishi cover. It just makes the most sense to me to put the Hanakishi tweets here

Miyabi added a sentence that wasn't there before:

"Thank you for everything up until now, I love you."

One last farewell message from our blooming flower...
