Thank you for always supporting Hololive Production.
We sincerely acknowledge that the recent graduation announcements have caused concern among fans. Like all of you, we also feel sadness each time we see a talent depart.
We are committed to creating an environment where each talent can fully showcase their abilities, offering support through Hololive EXPO, 3D live events, corporate collaborations, music production, and more.
However, we recognize that there are still areas where we can improve. I am personally taking steps to engage in direct discussions with our talents to work on these improvements.
Moving forward, we will continue doing our best to ensure both our talents and fans can share smiles together.
Thank you for your continued support.
