[Notice on the termination of Sakamata Chloe “Conclusion of Streaming Activities”].
Sakamata Chloe, a member of hololive, will end her “Conclusion of Streaming Activities” on 26 January 2025. According to Hololive, “Conclusion of Streaming Activities” is a form of graduation.However, they said that it is an initiative that she hopes to ‘have the opportunity’. As a fan, I can’t help but have high hopes for it as it implies future activities. However, as it is a form of graduation, it is probably best not to expect too much.

The reason given was that there was a disconnect between what they wanted to do and the company’s policies. It is well understood from past Vtubers’ graduations and retirements that when there is a disconnect between what the company wants the talent to be and what the talent wants to be, motivation drops significantly and the situation becomes irreparable. Change is inevitable, but the direction had to be adjusted so that the two parties did not deviate too far from each other.
Another talent mentioned that there is so much more work for the Hololive Vtubers than just delivery. They say that it is so much that they can’t stream. They are too busy and get sick, which is the same as the company the author was in. Do not use your valuable talent as if they are expendable.
The Vtuber market is now expanding rapidly and popping up on YouTube. As a fan, I am happy to see my Oshi in various places. However, I wonder if this is what he wants. Even though the market has grown, the number of Vtubers who can sell is limited. Are we putting too much pressure on this limited number of Vtubers?
To make people happy, you have to be happy first. It’s really sad to see you in shambles and without a voice. Fans and listeners want their Oshi to be happy and healthy first and foremost.
