/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>27304600
I can't believe I got home just to see this news...
Thank you for everything, Mayuyu. Good luck on whichever path you choose to walk after this.

this is really sad but i hope he's happier in his future activities

i feel sick. on the one hand, i'm happy that he's doing what's best for him and i know this doesn't mean his friendships with the others is going anywhere, but on the other hand a world without mayuyu...

>>27305172
let's make the best of his last moments with us as mayuyu

>>27304600
this is one of my favorite fanarts of him, it was my background for a while...

i'm really sad to see him go since there's nobody else like him. but i hope he's happier wherever he ends up.

I still cant process it..

Mayu's schedule for the month

mayu has always been one of my favorite males and i'm sad to see him go, but i hope he does well wherever he's planning to go to

>>27304600
i absolutely had no idea what mayuzumi want, he's been TRPG for month and now told me that he leave because he did not agree what the company's direction?
what?
what else he wants?

MAYUYUUUU :(((

>>27306120
He has been arguing with Anycolor since November 2021. They wanted to control his lore so he said no. You saw the numbers he pulled

>>27306376
what do you mean?

>>27306425
>Mayuzumi wants to do his own thing like always
>Anycolor wanted a say in it
>He said no
>decides to leave
Imagine you write a book and your publisher says to change shit to be more profitable.

>>27306594
nope,absolutely no evidence anykara even care about his lore. And from what I see ,Mayuzumi did not do a great job of whatever he wants to do.
He never lack any resource tho.

apparently he and enikara been on discussion about his future activities for months but never reached a comprise so he will leave. I wonder what it is that he wants to do to the point of leaving

I hope this is true. I just can’t imagine him gone completely

https://twitter.com/shiftstuffs/status/1543215064211398656?s=21&t=8ivGxUYAUyPiRyG6MDl7BA

Im legit bawling my eyes out rn. I know its for the better but you know it wont be the same without him.

>>27307076
probably not. he already announced he's leaving.

Mayu was one of the first livers I got to know about. I can’t imagine Nijisanji without him. The announcement still doesn’t feel real to me

>>27307254
he's leaving as a liver. liver is not a staff. if this turns out to be true then he will probably focus on the lore of the upcoming characters since he's into that.

https://twitter.com/Fuwa_Minato/status/1543227436217008128
motherfucker gonna make me start crying again

>>27307076
Please dont drink meshers fans copium, Mayuyu will not 'leave' because Mayuyu is virtual. It's not like he will never talk to his friends again either... we all know now during his hiatuses that he hung out with several livers.

>>27307377
His offical tweets say that he'll be ceasing all activites realted to the ANYCOLOUR company so no i dont even think hell be working as a staff.

>>27307493
https://twitter.com/333akina/status/1543227773451640832

Had to just sit down and shed a few tears… he was so integral to niji it’ll be weird to not have him around anymore

I know theyll still talk off screen but this just feels weird as meschers hako oshi. I always thought if one of them quit I would quit giving a shit about vtubers too but... I love him so much... it would feel bad to stop supporting meshers and niji as a whole now but Mayu is a part of almost everything I liked
I feel so conflicted

Can you guys drop mesha fanarts I need it to cope

So many meshas collabs this month I'm going to lose it, it hurts........

>>27308141
bittersweet because their last collab is on my birthday. mesha collab birthday gift would usually be something i'd rejoice over, but now it just kinda hurts.

>>27308280
I'm sorry anon...
I'm getting sad thinking about all the recent Meschers stuff retroactively like Fuwagusa wanting Mayuyu to be part of their live, or working hard for vsaikyou, all the sadness after their placement suddenly feels worse...but even then I was happy for them. I still am. Meschers is forever afterall. But things will be so different now. I don't want to make the thread depressing but I am so sad about this...

sf gumi is down to one member
niji quiz mainstay is gone
meschers is 2/3
blues is 2/3
ano densetsu is 2/3
2434.sys was never finished in my opinion
god...

I didnt know about this vtuber until today and my heart really goes out to the fans. I watched a few of his videos and he was really invested in building his lore and he seemed like a pretty fun guy.

Sucks that I only found out about him because hes graduating.

Hope for the best for him whereever he goes. Stay strong everyone.

>>27309849
Thank you anon... even if people didn't know him he's spoken of pretty highly even outside Niji livers, my oshi is sad so I am sad

I'm gonna miss him... never thought he'd be the next to graduate

>>27311437
It sucks to hear that he was in talks with disagreeing with management since nov 2021. Around his depression break.

i love mesherz and Blues and everything Mayuyu's a part of.It hurts so much..

Is it wrong to not care about vtubers anymore if your oshi graduates? I know I have about a month but my motivation is low. I get why people say to not put your whole heart into such a volatile industry
I know it's dead hours (here) I'm just kinda depressed and assume most of his fans are here which is why I'm not in the other active thread. Has your main oshi ever graduated?

https://twitter.com/miis0r/status/1543238292669272065

>>27312023
in the field of vtubing? no. but i've had idol groups i cared about disband before their prime or worse, die while theyre still young. it's not wrong to not care about vtubers anymore especially if the driving force of your love for them is graduating. Maybe take a breather after Mayu graduates and reassess at a later time.

>>27312023
there's nothing wrong with that.
before vtubers i was following irl idols for years and once my kamioshi retired from the entertainment industry i tried to keep going but honestly nothing felt the same without her. i still like idols but i'm more of a casual fan than hardcore otaku as before (i've switched to chuubas full time).
it may not be the case for you but just give yourself the time to deal with it, when the time comes distance yourself from the hobby as you see fit and see how you feel. sorry for the blogpost but basically what's most important is that you don't force anything.
he's giving us a packed last month, i hope you can enjoy it to the fullest, anon.

mesha fanart for the cope

I'm not really crying right now because I have a hard time accepting this as reality

i don't really like how people bring up yashiro's fantasia situation trying to prove that enikara is "forcing" idol activities. i admit when i heard about it i was obviously bitter that they didn't tell him the concept, but he was so clear about the fact that he isn't turning into an idol and listeners mainly justteased him about it.
he even joked about how it's similar to a sideM story and in his return zatsudan he said he couldn't even look at the flowers sent to him by fans because he felt terrible he couldn't give back anything in return. enikara isn't holding him at gunpoint to do fanservice or to do idol stuff.

>>27312531
Please dont take the catalog shitposting to heart, they turned that clip into a game of telephone pretending he was forced at gunpoint and hates singing.
And that goes for anons upset at the news, people jump at the chance to be tribalistic and defending your oshi against people who never cared either way, for or against him, is a waste.

avoid shitpost land thread and stay here if you need to vent

>>27312262
>>27312286
It's just strange to me how sad I am... The person behind him obviously is still alive and well and his friendships will not suddenly vanish but Mayuzumi himself won't stream again... He never does stream often but I attended almost every single one a year after he debuted. I got to know Nijisanji and vtubers via him since I'm a latecomer. Even with the entirety of July it will feel like goodbye every day
I know it's nowhere near the same, but when Coco graduated, despite never watching much of her save for asacoco, simply seeing the sadness from her friends inside and outside Holo made me so sad, so I'm just devastated now with Mayuyu. So many of my favorite streamers are going to be sad too

>>27312023
I have multiple oshis, but if my number one were to graduate I would quit watching streams for at least a very long time. Take care of yourself, anon.

>>27313203
I mean.. Mayuyu barely breaks kayfabe iirc. whoever is behind the persona is an obviously different person and that shows especially for Mayuyu and his VA. So i get the sadness for the loss of Mayuzumi the liver. I'm still huffing that copium he could come back like sasaki if he ever wants to come back seeing that he's leaving on good terms with nijisanji

>>27313692
I know. It's why it feels weird to be so sad because if I think rationally the roommate is obviously still here but I know Mayuzumi's activity will end. I don't want to follow his roommate, I'm one of those people who doesn't like to cross that boundary because it isn't the same, which is even more apparent with Mayu...

>>27312023
>Has your main oshi ever graduated?
Not vtuber
I used to be into a kpop idol group years ago and my main oshi died. I was just in shock and cried a lot during that time since I'd been following them almost since their debut.
Started to care a lot less about them and eventually stopped following them but I learned to appreciate my oshis while they're still here because one day they'll be gone... I regret more not going to their concert in person when they were still complete.

I dont keep up with Mayuyu as much as I used to but I am sorry for those of you losing your oshi, I never expected it. I will especially miss his fun interactions with the cute loud detective.

>>27312023
i think it's perfectly normal. my main oshis are still around (and i hope will always be around), but if either of them graduates i'd probably lose it.

has akina ever cried on stream?

>>27315820
More on mengen...though I wouldn't expect waterworks since he's known for a long time

>>27312023
I'm 100% sure that if Kenmochi graduates I will stop involving myself in any and every vtuber fanbase I'm currently in so I feel you tbqh. I feel like kamioshi is kind of like a pivot, you'll watch other vtubers alongside him but once he stops you'll just lose interest in everyone altogether.

>>27314156
Shinee perhaps? Same thing happened with me, but still alive he just left the group and i started caring less.

Came here for the mesha fanarts and did not disappoint! Hugs to all of his fans. I am very saddened with the announcement too. NIJI doesn't feel the same without him around

Mayuyu was one of my oshi back when I was new to Nijisanji. I kinda grew out of him, but he's still have a special place in my heart. You don't see someone who goes all out for the lore often, also his wacky ideas during zatsudans.
I'm aware his Naka no hito is still active but he's just... Not Mayu.

Also, I'm sad I probably won't see Hacker & Detective Collab again. Maybe another place another time with slightly different dynamic...

Board gonna be fast today

>>27320760
I don't know why but if that's the case and the thread dies, sorry bros. Don't feel like watching anything tonight.

I was just in a surgery early this week and generally feeling like shit, this is like the cherry on the fucking top, Mayuyu is my kamioshi, I hate this, I wish I could cry but that would hurt my body more, I fucking hate this

>>27322175
I'm sorry... I hope you feel better. It's devastating news.

>>27322175
Sorry anon... if it's any solace all of his archives will stay, he will just unlist a bunch and make playlists. There's a whole month of streams too. It's not goodbye yet...

>>27320760
So be it, the thread been dead multiple times this week anyway. We can just make another one.

>>27325042
>his mama will never drool over his collarbones on twitter to embarrass him again
bros...

>>27325042
I can bump it if I see it close to falling off. I'm too sad right now to have much to post about though.

His replies are still silly

It truly is a shame but you can’t keep him where he doesn’t want to be, i really liked his voice and personality

Mayu talks to a lot of en members huh

>>27327949
I want to see them together one last time... Their chemistry was great.

>>27328993
Yes... Reading through his replies is just breaking me. He's had so many different kinds of relationships and banters with so many different members, even the ENs who are relatively new. Even with people he rarely interacted with, his presence has had a ripple effect on Nijisanji.

>>27328993
He is basically the spearhead behind international Nijisanji collabs, even before EN existed. I like his Nijiworld collabs.

>>27329236
It was, even when it wasnt verbal, its a strange choice but one of my favorite streams was the minecraft stress test, where Shellin just continually built tracks around him for parts of the stream.

I remember the first time I saw Mayu was when he played project winter with Kuzuha, Riri, and others, liking him a lot because of his interactions with them, and found it baffling that people reacted negatively to it and his lack of keigo, which made him actually stand out from the rest. Now, with the news it's sad to see him go, but I also find comfort seeing all the people that grew to love him, fans and members alike. I admit to have stopped following him since before his break, but I only wish him the best in whatever he decides to do outside of vtubing. And I'm sure people will continue to follow him too. As of right now his personal tw account has gained 3k followers

>>27326644
his goofy replies on twitter do make me feel a little better

>>27315820
akina has cried on stream over sad games and over their loss for vsai, but as previous anon said, in retrospect akina has probably been dealing with this for a lot longer than we even realize. i would be surprised if he allows himself to cry about mayu openly, since this is a level of personal he's usually not comfortable sharing, even if mayu started out as just a coworker.
though i remember after vsai akina was so excited about meschers and said that with the fanfare around vsai and fuwagusa live they would probably be allowed to do stuff as meschers much more often in the future, so maybe he didn't know as early as i'd want to think. i wonder if mayu officially decided to do this in may and that played a part in why akina ultimately went quiet on his account--it would make sense with how gungho he was about meschers and then suddenly went completely silent about it. it makes me sad to look back as a meschers hako and see all these things that've happened recently that at the time i thought were weird, but suddenly make sense now. vsai really was their last tourament together. i didn't want to accept that then, and i don't want to accept it now.
mayu and fuwa were already friends before joining niji so i can see them still collabing as roommates, but akina's level of private outside vtubing means i'll never get to see him openly interact with mayu again and that's incredibly painful.

Ah fuck, it finally sunk in. I can’t stop crying now

>>27329243
i noticed after the fact that a lot of people cut their streams right before his, or refused to start streaming until his announcement was done, which doesn't feel like just a coincidence since 9PM is primetime hours. he's a very important and integral part of nijisanji, and while he's slowed his activities in the last year, this loss is probably felt intensely by many members.

Would it be bad taste to ask an anon for the Meschers VP? Or do you think they'll resell it?

>>27338872
mayu announced they'll be reselling it this month

>>27338965
Oh, nice

Good night anons. Hope this feels better tomorrow...

>>27337994
Do you think, on the chance he went indie since he values being able to speak without his personal life being front and center, that Akina would collab with him?
I know Fuwa has no qualms about that, at least I guess given his accidental doxxing in the past

>>27340034
akina is pretty locked about keeping his personal life and his activities as a liver separate, and sadly i think once mayu leaves he will become a part of akina's "personal" life. unlike fuwa and mayu, akina completely threw away his past life when he joined nijisanji, so they can't really interact as their roommates, and it would probably be too weird for akina to openly collab with someone who was previously mayu but isn't anymore. all i hope for is that they continue to stay friends, because mayu has had a huge impact on akina (as akina says, mayu "saved" him) and i wouldn't want either of them to lose that connection, and maybe we can get stories about them gaming or hanging out during future zatsudan. maybe they'll discuss how they'll be moving forward with their friendship in their future collabs. sadly, all we really have is hope.

Man...

>>27333468
odeko LOVE

Wishing all the people who have Mayu as their kamioshi the best of luck. I know what it feels like since mine graduated a year ago. The pain never truly goes away but it becomes more bearable as the days go by.

>>27312023
>Has your main oshi ever graduated?
Not yet and I believe he'll stick around for at least another 3-5 years if his branch (and company as a whole) is still alive by then. I've thought about this before and I'll probably lose interest in this industry when that inevitable day happens and then move on to his roommate. Maybe I'll lightly keep up with vsingers I like, but that's it. So it isn't wrong to not care anymore, anon. And like others already said, take a breather if you need to.

>>27312023
Nothing wrong to move out into another hobby/fandom when your oshi moved out. It's pretty normal. I too might leave vtuber fandom if my main oshi gone.

>Has your main oshi ever graduated?
Not vtuber, and not really a full-blown retirement either but there was a vocaloid producer who I really love back then, but then he moved out from vocaloid and do different genre that I'm not fond off so I kinda left him. He's still active as DJ and producer, but my feeling is not there anymore. A bit bittersweet feeling but it's something the person himself choose, it's what he love, and I can't fault him for his decision. When Mayu announced his decision I had the same feeling as back then. It hurts, sure, but I can only support his decision.

My oshi and Mayu had collabed in their PL, but I doubt they're going to Collab as their other selves so long my oshi is still active as vtuber. Especially since they only collabed like twice as their PL and those weren't even solo collabs. Nijisanji is where they get to know in more personal level (albeit not super close either).

>>27342267
Well, Akina is in Fantasia. So he's not going anywhere yet. He probably just gonna fucking around in day 2 with Mayu since he has nothing to do in day 2.

much appreciative of this gift of akina and axia just chatting and wasting time while playing mahjong. i've been upset since mayu's announcement but just listening to them chat and have fun is a nice reminder that not all is lost, and it's weirdly comforting.

>>27359038
He cleared the air and said he wont be doing the g word yet but he went off like if it does happen just support while you can.

>>27312023
I had an ultimate vtuber oshi in niji that graduated last year so my condolences to the mayu fans. When my oshi announced their graduation, i was sad as fuck and vow to quit the vtuber things altogether unless they decide to return again. After the graduation Happen i basically cleanse my yt so i wont get any recommendation abt any vtuber whatso ever.

And the worst was the graduation stream, when i watched it live, in the first few seconds, all my memory with them came flashing back… i cried so hard at a future without them…

I would say having a oshi makes me feel things i never did before and i can still shed a tears now thinking about the absence and the past.

I would say the worst thing is the hope i have that they’ll eventually come back. There was an incident once when i thought they’ll reincarnate in this vgroup but that didn’t happen and i was sad again. The same situation happen the second time and i was scared to hope. The feeling of anxiety wanting to see whether it is them again was really taxing for me.

And the worst thing is, when they do comeback and something changes abt them. A difference from the person that i once like…

>>27371565
>A difference from the person that i once like…
This is what I kind of hate about vtubing. When they reincarnate they'll never be the same. All the pretending...
Maybe I'll change my mind but seeing stuff like Tsuna in VSPO now just makes me nervous, like why is it bad to go back to business and friends as usual

>>27371565
i guess you might not want to say who your oshi is, but most of the ones who graduated last year came back in some way. even most of the ones that graduated this year are also back

>>27372947
whats happening with vspo? i thought it depends on their circumstances. qu chan collabs with selen and rpr as dtto (indie)

>>27373347
Nothing, I enjoy VSPO and glad that she's back doing what she loves. It just made me sad that she has barely mentioned Korean. Like with most reincarnations people leave out facts or have to cheekily imply stuff. Maybe I'm just looking at it from a depressed angle.

>>27370861
Flashbacks to when he was chainsmoking and panicking in his chat before the marika tourney

I'm so depressed; I've never been one to get attached to any vtubers in particular either. But since I discovered his channel, I was really happy whenever he streamed and he really brightened many of my dark days. I feel empty, but wish him the best and will always be thankful for everything he's done.

>>27373691
Collabing with non fps exKRs might be difficult due to their taste difference, but I doubt she'll actively avoiding the Apex addicts with how much vspo girls interact with Nijisanji. Gennin ryodan will be completed again eventually.

I wonder if he'll say anything about Mayu. Mayu is one of the few males that can be considered "close" (not super close but at least comfortable enough for Shellin to dm random memes to Mayu).

>>27379574
With a little luck and effort you can easily rank that high. Judging skill level based on rank in Mahjong Soul is about as helpful as judging skill based on Apex rank where a bunch of dia's can be better players than masters.
