On February 9, viviON announced that Oshiro Mashiro will graduate on February 28. The company stated that although they had continued discussions about returning to their activities, Oshiro herself had requested to graduate in January, stating that it was difficult for her to continue his activities under ideal conditions. On the other hand, Oshiro herself reported that she was aware that a small number of people had been probing her private life during her hiatus, and she called on the present to refrain from such acts that pry into the private life of the talent.

In addition, on February 11, our media reported on the controversial appearance of a person who claimed to have sent threatening messages to Oshiro Mashiro, Aogiri High School, and viviON. This person claimed on their X (formerly Twitter) that they had “Successfully forced Oshiro to graduate by threatening to k*ll her every day," that “It was worth hiring a shady job," and that they “Sent bomb threats to Aogiri High School to commemorate her graduation“. Using the contact form on the official website of Aogiri High School, the user fills in another person’s e-mail address and sends content such as “K*ll Oshiro Mashiro on February 11 at 15:05 (JST)," “Torch her house and k*ll her," “Kidnap and k*ll her even if she is not home," and “Blow up viviON office at the same time“. It was found that the appeal was made in the same manner as the following.
