[Notice]

Thank you very much to everyone who has supported me for the past 6 and a half years.
This decision is the result of several years and much thought within myself.

Until that day, I want to make many more memories until the end!
Thank you for your support!

Murasaki Shion has been active for about 6 years and 8 months as a hololive 2nd-gen, contributing greatly to the development of hololive Production and the VTuber industry as a whole. In recent years, she has had to take extended breaks due to illness, but she has been able to continue her activities despite these difficulties, thanks to the support of her fans and her own tireless efforts.

COVER Corp. CEO Tanigo Motoaki (YAGOO)’s Statement

Thank you for your continued support of hololive Production. We take it very seriously that we have been causing concern to you with the continued announcements regarding their graduation. We feel the same sadness as you do when we see our talents departing.

We have established a system that allows talents to focus on their activities with peace of mind by providing support in various areas such as hololive EXPO, 3D live, corporate tie-ups, and support for music production so that each and every talents can maximize her talents.

However, there are still some aspects of the program that are not fully implemented, and I am working to improve them by providing opportunities for direct dialogue with the talents themselves. I will continue to do my utmost to bring smiles to the faces of both talent and fans.

Thank you for your continued support.
