    Fuck. I haven’t been prepared for a Myth member leaving, I thought they were gonna be in it for a few more years.

    Ame’s done so much for not just Hololive but VTubers as a whole and she will be missed greatly. Although it does say she will remain an affiliate of Hololive, I think a remember a clip ages ago saying about her joining as a staff member after she finished her activities so maybe that is what has happened?

    It doesn’t say graduation or termination though so somethings definitely different about this.

      Yagoo’s tweet doesn’t really explain much, it doesn’t seem like she’s currently joining the staff, but he’s looking forward to working with her again (?)

      I wonder whether this eventually is going to result in some sort of spinoff project, otherwise why not a) officially graduate her with full sendoff like they did with Coco, or b) announce an indefinite hiatus, which has precendent in other vtuber orgs. It seems like she’s not joining Hololive Staff, so this whole “affiliate” thing seems like she’s getting some sort of role change that would land her outside of the current hololive management structure…interesting stuff
