It has been a difficult few weeks for VTuber fans with the industry seeing several major talents graduate. In addition to thetermination of Hololive’s Yozora Mel, two of its biggest losses were Nijisanji’sMika MelatikaandPomu Rainpuff.
After Pomu graduated from Nijisanji, all of her Member-only streams were made public meaning anyone can view them. Inone affectedstream, the ex-Nijisanji Liver stated while crying that she had missed out on a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” after it was turned down by management.
She went on to claim that management had refused to negotiate after rejecting the idea. While it isn’t certain this played a role in her eventual graduation, fans were already speculating that the two are related and the stream being privated has only made the situation more tense.

Others agreed with this sentiment commenting, “Yikes all around. It’s like trying to put out a fire you caused, but all you’re doing is making it worse by trying to,” and “The damage control is real.”
Even those wanting to defend Nijisanji found themselves struggling to do so, “Ouch. I know talents like Millie defend Nijisanji and perhaps the Japanese side is well run but it’s tough to defend the company when things like this happen.”
Looking to potentially explain why Nijisanji made this decision, another reply stated, “For those surprised this is standard protocol for public facing Japanese businesses. It is part of the business culture, and I’ve seen things like this in engineering, science and entertainment corporations out of Japan.”
While Nijisanji fans were positive about the ambitious“acting-focus” auditionsand the success ofKoshien 2023, criticism of the agency’s actions is becoming an increasingly common occurrence. Similar criticism was angled at Nijisanji afterSelen Tatsuki’s latest cover song was also privatedin December 2023.
