I just wonder what it was that caused this. I'm a little surprised Ame was the first gen 1 do leave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTWqwSNQCcg
You know, maybe it was inevitable. We tied our existence to Ryan Gosling, and the first instance everyone really fell in love with her was a moment related to stars.

All I can say is that the lyrics to this song, and the story of La La Land as a whole, is much more poignant than it was beforehand for me now.

>>85632107
I've gone through all those stages in the last 2 years of bullshit and I've been at acceptance for a while.
This definitely sucks but it hurts way less that it would've in 2022.
I hope this is the best decision for her and that she can keep doing whatever makes her happy.
ILOVE AME.

>>85631330
>slept with a weapon
What is Ame's favorite pistol?

I just had the most explosive diarrhea in years
This is actually destroying me wth

Ame is my oshi, I have all this merch in the room I keep all my books. It's decorated in all kinds of hololive stuff. It was always my favorite room. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep it all up, it hurts too much to look at now

>>85632485
I also feel physically ill, I think I'll go to mass tonight or something

>>85632485
I thought it was only me. When I saw that she was graduating my stomach genuinely got really upset. What the hell is that about?

ILOVE AME FOREVER

>>85632380
I don't know which Gosling kino is most comparable to the current situation. The harsh wake up to reality in Lars and the Real Girl? The forceful destruction of our love in Bladerunner 2049? The regret-filled separation for the sake of pursuing greater heights in La La Land? Maybe all of them at the same time.
Fuck, I should go on a Gosling flick rewatch spree before she's gone. Throw Her in the middle as well, as an unrelated-related bonus.

>>85632107
>another hiatus
>after 2 years of vacations, hiatuses, failed plans, etc.
Sorry bro, i can't get with it. She's clearly been on this dreadful path for months now, and this "agreement" of sorts to simply retire and reform her contract as an affiliate at least gives some closure rather than pretending and hoping she's gonna marvelously swing back. The only questions that will remain now is what is she going to do in her offtime and if she'll actually reappear for whatever "productions" still have yet to happen. Perhaps if we'll know someday that she's sorted herself out and reignted passions elsewhere could there be solace. For now, embrace the time we have left in this moment I suppose

ILOVE AME FOREVER

As I wake from my 3 hour sleep I come to say we play in an about an hour for our last divegrass game. It isn't much and I know some don't care for it but Ame is the reason I made the team last league and the reason I'm this autistic about trivial things. I hope its gonna be a good one

>>85632345
I know nobody wants to blame this, and I will be called a shitposter and an anti for saying it but to me the only think that makes sense is her lack of interest in the idol side of things. And yes, I know she had fun during Breaking Dimensions, that's probably an experience she's never going to forget but when asked about a second OG song she mumbled and said something like
>oh I'm not musically inclined
her slowing down and burn out coincides excatly with the times Hololive started focusing more and more on Idol stuff. She skipped most voicepacks, straight up saying she doesn't like them, she skipped the New Year's concert, like I said had no intention to do any other song, etc.

Being an idol looks fucking hard, and Ame has always wanted to be a streamer for a long while, but can she do that when everyone in Holo and Cover expect her to spend days and weeks and months learning dances and songs? She clearly didn't if we look at her streaming record. Ame was at her peak during Covid and early Myth days because Cover just let them alone to do their thing. As soon as Cover went full 100% on the idol side with concerts and shit is when she went into her slump.

I also think that since then Cover has gotten clearer on their audition process which is why it takes longer but look at the newer gens since Advent and all of them have been going strong on the idol side of things because they joined fully aware of what to expect.

>>85631703
It's so fking over

ILOVE AME

>Kiara is actually crying
oh god

>>85632380
Ryan Gosling bros… I still can’t believe this is real. Someone pinch me

>>85632939
That really does make sense. It seems like a real waste if Cover is pushing idol stuff on everyone. The best course of action would be to let those that want to peruse the idol path do so but if others want to just continue doing normal streams just leave them be.

HoloEN is finally going down lol

https://youtu.be/AbiKRzytO3c?t=38
ame...

This is absolutely the fault of nijiniggers and indieshitters, I just know it.

Wait what did she mean "don't blame her", why would people blame her?

>>85632939
Fauna said "nah" after her first Japan arc and they have been letting her skip most of this stuff since, the absolute madwoman. I fully expect the other green woman to have a similar experience. At the end of the day talents can't be replaced and that gives them a strong negotiating position. A streamer who doesn't do idolshit is infinitely better than a graduation for Cover.

>>85633396
you know how retards on /vt/ are

>>85633396
"she killed myth" bla bla bla

>>85633404
I mean they're all different. Maybe Fauna still can take doing two three concerts a year, but clearly Ame wasn't up for it.

ILOVE AME

Fuck Wawa's making me cry again

>>85633576

No more Papaya bros...

MYTH ONE BLOCK WAS MADE BECAUSE AME WAS LEAVING

NEW TIME LINE SPOTTED

man...

>>85633404
>>85633531
I said this after BD so I'll say it again: with how fucking massive Hololive is becoming with 50+ members and half a week long shows eventually Cover has to make the decision to make Fes JP only. Make the yearly EN concert a permanent thing and stop having one branch have to practice for two fucking massive events for months.

jesus christ, kiara...

Not to shit on her but wasn't Ame poor before hololive? I wonder where she can go after this.

Some WIPs from the drawthread.
>>85633764
https://files.catbox.moe/17l4l3.png

So the decision was between 3 and 9 months ago.

>Myth One Block
>June 14
Ame was planning to leave before then...

>>85633976
After FES, I'd bet

>>85633396
some people shitpost through the end. and to be completely fair some people deal with this type of thing just with anger

It hurts even more after the kino unity lyrics in the new Myth anniversary song. I knew this would happen some day, I just don't know why right now. Didn't she just become her family breadwinner?

YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME, I PLAYED PALADINS FOR YOU

>>85634637
Why did she decide to move back in with her family anyway?

>>85634713
I'll join when we're up, thank you for your work.

I just remember the karaoke, when she showed every model one by one

>>85635068
Yeah. In hindsight it makes sense why she did it.

>>85634820
sometimes you just feel indebted to your family forever, even when they're shitty. my dad was only able to cut ties with all of his shitty family members after years of struggling with the reality that it'd be better once he did. we don't know why specifically, but that's my best guess. anything else has a hole in it.

Uhhhh did Kiara just unintentionally confirm the
>ame pregnant rrat
???

She was THE creative vtuber that came up with creative stuff. Probably the biggest lost since Coco graduation.

>>85632939
>>85633095
I still can't fathom how the fuck do you end up joining Hololive if you aren't up for idolstuff.

ILOVEAME 4 ever.....

>>85634997
/awat/ is first match of the day
Win and /awat/ is guaranteed to Ro16

>>85635323
She joined Hololive on April 2020 aprox
Hololive is WAY different now

>>85635323
It was different 4 years ago and they were the first EN gen. They had no idea what they were getting into.

>>85634820
I get the feeling it was to pay forward what her aunt and grandmother did for her. She clearly wants to raise her little brother up so he can at least attend a good college.

>>85635323
Back when Myth debuted they were specifically scouted and sold as a streamer group. They weren't as heavily focused on idol stuff. Before then Hololive had a gen specifically for playing games, they clearly were broadening their content. It wasn't until 2022-2023 that they shifted HARD into idol stuff.

>>85626150
>a year
I say five. And I don't know if hololive is around or I am even watching by then.
Depends on if Mumei is still around...

>>85633903

I guess she really did take up the Matriarch role of the Watson family after her Grandmother and Aunty.

>>85632005
what extension is needed for these? I seem to have lost it.

>>85635323
4 years ago Hololive was a streaming company that just happened to have a single small concert. JP 3 had JUST gotten 3D.

>>85632580
Give thanks to God for Ame for me. I love her and I am sad.

>>85635323
She liked idol stuff but streaming and cretivadad stuff were always her favorite
I imagine it’s partly perms shit that made her leave

>>85635991
greasemonkey and getting the sound scripts

>>85635927
Wait what happened to aunty Watson? I thought she was just sick a while back.

Myth felt so invincible and like they'd all be around forever. Sana's graduation was sad, but she wasn't around all that long. This is going to leave a hole in my heart. How will anything feel complete without Ame?

>>85634713
Thanks for all your work anon. This actually got me to get out of bed, ill give it a watch.

>>85635991
You need Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey - then install this userscript https://github.com/rcc11/4chan-sounds-player
The one on greasyfork wasn't working at all for me

>>85632857
I've been awake for almost 30 hours now and I'm exhausted from crying so I'm drifting into sleep soon
I just wanna say thanks divegrass anon for creating the team and pushing for our participation in /vt/league when most of us were apprehensive to it
Win or lose it was really nice to see Ame and our shitposts out on the field

>>85635927
I hope so, that sounds wholesome and she always seemed like a really sweet girl
t. not a teammate but I loved watching whatever random kino she cooked up and watched a LOT ~2021

>>85636266
nothing will ever be the same again bro... it's just about appreciating what you have and finding other things to latch onto

I haven't watched any of the other girls in years, and I have no desire to. This is going to be a weird change of routine. No more reason to come to this board, having to unfollow a bunch of people on twitter/youtube because I don't give a single fuck about hololive now that Ame is not part of it (the "she will still appear" stuff seems to me like it's going to be a like once a year thing at best).
Have you guys thought about how much free time we are getting back not having to spend hours here everyday?

>>85635466
>>85635486
>>85635592
>>85636007
Oh yeah, right after Holofes 1 when they made it clear they want to make it a regular occurence. Holofes 1 where all holos were present, including Gamers, aside from the recently debuted Gen 4.

>>85635323
For some people having a company backing you can be nice for even just a streamer. Can help you get exposure, merch, and you have some built in 'friends' you can do collabs with. It can just help everything go smoother compared to being an indie vtuber.

>>85635323
More than half of the EN hirees are not very accustomed with singing and dancing, they are hired because of their resume as being a good streamer/vtuber, even applies for the jp for the most part, look at regloss
You should ask that question to Cover perhaps

1/4 of the way through archiving members streams, dont know how to archive members posts tho

Even Marine was hired for her talent as a charter/mangaka with a gimmick for being horny. She didn't join the company intending to become a popular musician.

My memory hasn't been the greatest for the last years, and the more i think about it the less time i feel like we were with her, i feel like i should have 100s of memories of our time together but...
Its a mere 4 years...

Not sure how it works without 4chanx

>>85636711
Why?

ILOVE AME FOREVER

>>85632939
It's not the idol things, it's the restrictions. If Ame could still do all the shit she used to do back in 2020 she would still be around. But there is no benefits for her to being in Hololive if she cannot do what she wants to do and on top of that she needs to attend stuff that isn't even directly correlated to content their fans can enjoy.
>Management telling her she cannot do that sort of stream anymore
>Management telling her "no" right away for new streaming ideas
>Management telling her to record lines to some random expensive earbuds most of her fans are not going to be able to enjoy
These things add up and when they become more of a common thing than a rarity, it breaks the camel's back.

>>85631703
I have not processed this yet.
Help.

>>85636915
I tried completely removing tampermonkey and redoing and still no luck, i have 4chanx. Oh well

>>85636863
liv

I don't buy the "She doesn't want to do the idol stuff" reason. It can't be that much more work that any regular job would be, other girls are streaming as much as they ever did, and they don't even have the pressure to perform well really. Some of these girls still can't sing or dance for shit, it's mostly just a fun event for her fans to see them in a different context than on stream.

Match is about to go LIV

Maybe it's childish to post this, maybe it's cringe in a way but I don't care. While I am incredibly sad to see her semi-leave, pic related is incredibly fitting to how I feel.

>>85637272
>other girls are streaming as much as they ever did
There's a schizo roulette wheel with Ame, Ina, Gura, Mumei and Fauna on it and they'll just spin it to decide who to call a lazy bitch on a given day.

I feel like I'm slowly starting to realize it's over.

>>85637075
it's both
too much red tape, too much homework, too many projects, she was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown during the first japan arc (white day prerecorded karaoke) and the workload has escalated to a stupid degree, must make number go up
it basically was a whole different company when she joined, it isn't the same place it used to be even two years ago, in some ways for the better and in some ways definitely much worse

>>85637075
The restrictions angle is retarded because half of the holos have alternate accounts where they can do whatever they want. If Mori or Matsuri want to do a Disney karaoke they can do them at any second they want. Hell Ame has done so before. So no, it's not that. But what you can't avoid in Hololive is the idol stuff, imagine if she hadn't been part of Breaking Dimensions or the anniversary? How would the fans react? How would the other girls react? How would the investors, staff, etc, react? Even Shion and Ayame have to do idol shit even though they're barely active. Idol stuff is the only thing that differentiates Hololive from other vtubers.

>>85634713
>>85636863
>>85637259
GO AME GO

>>85637447
it doesn't feel real to me still. I can't cry or anything, its just shocking. Ame has been one of my only sources of happiness for years now. I know thats not healthy but it is what it is

>>85637371
There's that ame roboco image that was drawn in the style of winnie the pooh but I can't find it. I don't think it's cringe anon.

I guess if I had to find a bright side, it's that I saw it last night and not this morning
I'm on like three hours of sleep but if I had woken up to this I'd be in no shape to go to work today

SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US SHE HATES US

not looking too bad today I guess

Thank you guys for loving her. She wasnt my oshi, but she made my oshi laugh and smile. That's enough for me to be grateful.

In a way I'm glad the past year was so shit. It prepared me for this day. Rather than a sudden shock it was something you knew was coming for a while.

Ame said her reasons aren't personal nor private and that we helped her believe in herself, also it seems Kiara didn't try to persuade her to stay because Ame's reasons were reasonable, so I'm guessing Ame wants to be her own boss or maybe wants to pursue a new path that's incompatible with her responsibilities in Hololive, everything else are schizo rrats to me. I just hope she knows what she's doing financially

>>85637174
Weird です. Sorry anon. I was running into the same issue when I tried installing what I thought was the same exact script via greasyfork.
There's a non-zero possibility your browser's "security" or privacy features if you're using something retarded like Brave or your adblocker might be blocking the cross site request to catbox, but I think I only saw that once in hlgg.

>>85637272
>it can't be that much more work that any regular job
Yeah and Ame has had how many regular jobs? Anyway it's not even comparable to regular jobs, barely any job will have you take 12 hour flights each month to stay away in another country for a week and then have you perform in front of thousands of people 2 to 3 times a years. What kind of "every job" are you thinking about? Do you think accountants have to do that shit?

Idol, performers, dancers are hard fucking jobs that require a special type of person. There's a reason why most people that try doing it fail and the ones that succeed get paid a ton. And no its not underwater welding but it's clearly harder than being a fucking Walmart manager.

>>85637174
Try using violentmonkey. Tampermonkey has always been kinda bad.

>>85637371
It's not cringe anon, it's a genuine message

>>85632939
>but when asked about a second OG song she mumbled and said something like
>>oh I'm not musically inclined
I mean, she said that because she knew she was leaving, bro.
But I agree (kind of). I do think that Ame genuinely loved the idol side of things, but I also think that Ame's the type of person who, after having done it several times over the past few years, feels like she's accomplished a goal (completing her idol journey) and wants to move on to other things.

this is my favorite jojo op, i love you divegrassmate

SEPTEMBEEEER

>>85635323
Hololive was sort of idol like in the past but it was never the main focus like it is now. A lot of things have changed between 2019 hololive and 2024 hololive.

>>85636463
It's not entirely the same for me since Mumei is around but Ame's lowered streaming output made me sort of move on from "hololive" over time.
I always watched their streams, but I used to also follow hololive as a whole. The Mario Kart tournaments, the concert days that don't have those two, and other events no longer interest me.

Do you remember?

Amesame bros how we feeling. I think a double graduation would be a nice storybook ending

>>85638182
>tomorrow is September day
I really hope she does a karaoke tomorrow.

chiku taku...

>>85638245
I do, and seeing Ame smile makes me wanna cry again.
I'm already on the toilet shitting my heart out.

>>85637594
The homework is not just the "Idol" stuff, they spend a whole lot of time in stuff that goes beyond concerts, many meetings that probably go nowhere, promotions she isn't even interested in (She mentioned this before). Thinking Ame wants to leave because of 3 performances in Breaking Dimensions of all things is retarded sorry. She did a 3D live of her own too, cover didn't force her on that one.
Also there is a limit whether you like it or not on the amount of shit you can do on your main account before it becomes controversial and starts eating too much holo time. And knowing Ame she doesn't want to fragment her fanbase at all, she wants to do those things as Ame.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEbThT71R74

>>85638212
yeah, Ame and Gura being gone so much mostly killed it for me, I used to live and breathe this stuff and binge clips when I had no time for vods but still wanted to stay in the loop
enreco kinda got me interested again even though I hated the concept, and gta has been fun so far but I'm pretty sure my interest in that got taken out back and shot last night

>>85637909
QRD? I was the anon that said Tamper and/or Violent. If there's a compelling reason to switch I don't mind, especially because Google killing MV3 in all Chromium browsers means I have to go back to Bloatfox...

Karaoke list

what lessons would she want you to take along from watching her streams

there was a time were i was idol in love with her
i would say i will miss her, but i've been missing her for years

>>85638510
Just bee urself

>>85637966
Yeah I'm not saying she didn't love performing when it was happening. I get the feeling that people think I'm attacking Ame or Hololive when I say she probably wasn't onto the idol side of things, but of course I'm not trying to do that. Its just that being a streamer is way different than being an idol and not everyone can or wants to do that, meanwhile there's people that see performers while they're 5 yo and they know they want to be on stage. Ame has talked about not being familiar with idols before Hololive, she probably loved being part of the concerts that's an experience most people won't ever have. It would've been amazing but does she want to do that for the rest of her life? Or was it one of those things you experience and are content living it just once. And would that clash with Cover's plan for Hololive? The answer seems to be yest to all.

Ame said that the reason for leaving was very simple and to me THIS is the most simple and reasonable explanation. And I would bet that if she talks about it today she will explain it as
>Hololive and I wanted to go in different directions
Or some softball like that. But the direction that Hololive is going seems pretty clear.

LETS FUCKING GOOO FEMATE

FEMATE

>>85638527
>idol in love with her
oh shit, originally typed "idolized" but i changed it to love and fucked it up..

I already miss Ame.

>>85638510
Never give up. That's the message I've taken from Ame this whole time, and her bizarre stubbornness has always been nothing but a boon to me.

In hindsight that message is one I've always chased for some reason. All my favorite content has had a similar message. Something about pursuing your dreams has always made me happy.

And yes, while now the dream may be "dead", I'd say moreso that right now she's reached a point in her life where she's managed to achieve everything she wanted in Hololive, and now she needs to find something more to continue chasing after. Knowing her I can't help but expect she'll keep reaching for the stars in one way or another.

>>85638527
you expressed what I've been feeling way better than I could myself. thanks

>>85638662
Anon... she just gave up

>>85638264
My oshi still has Fauna, so i want to believe she'll be okay.

since this is happening, what are her best streams?

That InaAmeSame End of a Life performance hits so different now. Absolute cinema considering the context.

>>85638689
Did you read my last paragraph?

>>85638717
Her Super Mario rage streams.

You have my condolences teammates.

>>85638473
Mumei's stream tonight made more happy than usual. Probably because I sadder than usual.

>>85638527
Yeah, this is basically it for me. The last couple of years already prepared me for this, the gradual reduction of streams since 2022 makes this way easier to accept that if she had done it at her peak.
Quitting Ame cold turkey would've sucked ass.

her original piano bgm is gonna live in my head rent free and move me to tears I can already tell

ILOVE AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

ILOVE AME

>>85638726
Might also explain her little deviation at the end of the breaking dimensions MV

I just want you guys to know how much I appreciate this thread, it has been the most chill and enjoyable general I have ever found, I will be so sad to see it end. to those that are staying, where do you reckon you will end up when this general dies?

>>85632939
FWMC killed Ame, they were all about that idolslop and pushing everyone to be more like JP fuck those bitches

>>85637966
>>85638574
Even the actual idol lovers go borderline insane when Cover over-works them (which I feel at this point you can really say as a fact considering it's a repeating pattern and happens even to "hard-workers" like Bae and Kiara)

You don't have to hate idol stuff, in fact you can even like it, and still think the amount of effort it takes is just too much to do permanently.
Not that I think this was the main driver in her decision, I think her main driver was probably just getting burnt out from streaming

This is just an experiment and they're testing to see if this is an alternative to graduating for future talents.
If it doesn't work out Ame will come back.

>>85638954
i was the world's only (or one of two) nyanmates, but nyanners got a bf and ame is leaving soon. ill be in the vsj thread every once in a while, but i'm mostly gone from this board altogether.

>>85639090
yeah haha

>>85638954
I stopped coming to 4chan in '16 and Myth was the thing that brought me back. Global is a fucking unusable shithole in the hours I'm awake for and I'd feel like an impostor in any other split so I'll probably just fall off again.

>>85638954
I'll still follow hololive to some extent so I'll also keep up with hlgg to some extent, but less so than I do now. Other than that, I'll just continue my irl reps and other hobbies.

>>85638377
Again, you keep downplaying how hard performing is and aren't even considering how hard it might be for Ame. Everyone is different, learning a song for Bae might be as easy as a 30 minute lesson, Ame might take 3 days, who knows. But if you keep dismissing how hard being a performer is I really can't say anything to you. Like I could say being an astronaut is hard and you would go
>whats so hard about that? You strap on to a rocket once every 6 months and chill for a couple days floating around
What the fuck do I say to that?

>>85639090
If she isn't busy with something else she might come back in a few years. If her friends and Myth are still around.

I don't know how you gators are dealing with the news, but I can definitely tell that listening to sad music while drinking is definitely NOT a good way to deal. Broke my hand after punching my wall. Yes, I am an idiot who is incapable of dealing with his feelings.

I guess she couldn't.

>>85631703
i called this months ago. she will graduate into an EN A-chan

>>85639051
See I don't think she was burnt out from streaming because she wasn't even streaming. She was too tired and stressed out to stream and whenever she came back some of the first things she always did was talk about how much work she was doing that wasn't streaming. I get the feeling she really wanted to stream but after 7 hours of recording audio or learning a choreography she really wasn't up to sitting down and trying to be entertaining for us. She's still a human being she's allowed to be tired and you could tell she was tired.

>>85638954
I've barely had time to watch anyone except Ame, but I may start watching Cece and hang out in their thread eventually.

>>85631703
Good, fuck this lazy bitch.

>>85639297
Except you’re wrong because she already explicitly said she won’t be a member of staff.

Pebble here, sorry it had to be this way, you guys hang in there and enjoy the time you have left.

>>85638954
CC, maybe? She's kinda like early Ame if you squint real hard and tilt your head. But more likely, I'll just retire from this hobby.

She just wasn't the same since Holostars EN

why? is it something we did?

>>85639618
We cared too much

>>85639618
yeah, you sniffed ame's farts too much and weirded ame out!

>>85632857
Thanks for putting it together anon, I saw a game recently and thought it was fun. Nice to just have a little bit of our crazy Ame fanbase out there

https://x.com/superoverweeb/status/1837031061802381505

>>85639253
Go to the hospital. I was thinking about downing all of my bloodpressure pills but Ame wouldnt want that.

>>85639503
Thank you, Biboo's speech was really nice, cherish her.

>>85638992
based i hope they kill all the homo loving whores left in EN eventually

Wallson. For once you did good.

>>85639738
I already did. It's weird having the doctor ask me if I need to see someone to talk to after finding out.

for me, it is was this magical moment that I'll forever be appreciative.

>>85639738
not ameway

As sad as we are at least we’ll never be as miserable as the people who need to kick people when they’re down to feel anything.

Called it half a year ago btw.
>>72216054

>>85639051
There is no idolshit without overwork anywhere, it just doesn't exist. The whole point is killing yourself daily for 3 months for the sake of a single brilliant performance. All the streaming-focused girls like the idea initially because it sounds great and senpai concert hype gets to them, but they consistently hate it halfway through their first Japan arc . If they had that much endurance and delayed gratification preference then they wouldn't be streamers in the first place. Burning out on streaming is just a side effect. Their brains start associating it with a workload they can't handle since they come as a package.

>>85639492
wrong

>>85639828
Tourist not-teamate here, what stream was this?

>>85639989
Surprise off collab karaoke.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKBPsEWJggU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__s_M8Zdqzc

>>85639989
It was an off collab sudden karoke from like 2 years ago.

>>85640128
The first EN offcollab that wasn't just Takamori meeting up, wasn't it?

>>85639913
It's sad looking at the thread, some people knew it was over, and at that point Ame had probably decided she wanted to leave, but most people didn't want to hear it.

>>85639822
Or you can do like me and visit the doctor to get help with your inability to sleep properly, and whoops a few months later you are diagnosed with depression.
Accidentally did a Nene but I quit my job and went back to university instead.

everything is going to be ok
everything is going to
everything

>>85639989
The first ever EN off collab. No one saw it coming and she just pulled off the unthinkable.
https://www.youtube.com/live/qKBPsEWJggU

>>85639618
If she doesn't graduate now, she would graduate in 5 or 10 years anyways It is what it is, that's just life. You shouldn't blame yourself for things outside your control

>>85640247
probably. did takamori make a offcollab karaoke before this one or was this one the first?

>>85640341
Also, it's technically not a graduation so there's a chance we see her again, even if it very small.

Ame is trending

>>85640435
It all blurs together now, I'm not even sure if Takamori met up before that because it was during lockdowns after all but I think they did.

>>85640550
those motherfuckers, get chiku taku to 1m god damnit

>>85640573
I think they met each other since they were both living in japan and japan as a country locked itself very early if I'm not mistaken

>>85640435
Yes, TakaMori had multiple off collabs before that karaoke. Kiara

>>85639209
You sound like the retards trying to explain Aqua's graduation

What if the final full Myth collab is them digging another autism tunnel in Minecraft for three hours

Any graduation-related coupons?

>>85640832
I would cry if that happens.

my hololive jigsaw puzzle is coming in today...

I didn't get to watch the 4th anniversary stream live so I wasn't /here/ at the time, but the first thing I did when I finished it was look if anyone else was still talking about the things she said near the end--when she was talking about changing jobs often and someone brought up the time flying by, she said "the first two years did", and with everything else I immediately felt sure it was going to be the last anniversary. I watched Ame's debut and admittedly wasn't sure she was for me at the time (I remember saying I liked Ina the best in a thread about favorite EN and favorite drink at the time), but she pretty quickly became the only vtuber I regularly watched. What I really loved was her karaoke sessions, where it was just like listening to a friend sing, instead of a cover singer; I didn't care if she was a polished idol, I just wanted to watch her as a normal streamer and it made it feel more special when she did things like karaoke. That said, I hope she just felt the time was right to move on.

>>85640832
i forgot about that... my fucking kokoro anon..

>>85640971
I didn't think much of those moments in her chatting stream at the time, but when I heard the announcement, they immediately came to mind.
I hope she's content with whatever she's got going on after this.

>>85640971
there have been warning bells for a while but I and I'm assuming everyone else didn't wanna say anything because it would have descended into 'kys brown armored cuck' threadshitting like it always does
I didn't think she was graduating though, not already

>>85640971
anon love

So uhh, what was the point of building her own 3D studio? Kiara said it cost her a fortune...

>>85641201
She's giving lil bro watson a jump start into his fortnite vtuber career

>>85640832
I am wondering if we'll get a final Minecraft stream.

>>85641201
making COVER pay to use it so she can recoup the investment

>>85638717
My favorites will always be her LA Noire playthrough, they're the reason I got into watching her in the first place

Well, thats it for our VTL 7 run probably since /pyon/ is gonna get btfo. I'd like to thank all the gators that showed up and supported us for both leagues and friendlies. I haven't really been the same since the announcement and didn't really sleep all that well. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for ame who showed up in my recommend after I lost my job 2 years ago. She really helped me get out of my rut and I'm sure she did for all of you guys too. I don't like this situation, in fact I'm furious. It doesn't make sense and all the vague posting from management pisses me off. I don't like the idea of them flaunting around a soulless body for merchandising.
In any case, if we do manage to survive either in the league or on the board we should continue to shout ILOVE AME whenever we can.
Until next time Gators.

>>85641201
When did she ever say she even put together a 3D studio in the new house? She never used it if she did.

>>85641412
Hey we're ahead dont' count us out yet

>>85641201
That's the saddest part. Imagine a 30 yo Ame coming home from wage slaving at a Pizza Hut and just looking over to her studio with all the tech shit and microphones all dusted over maybe boxes lying around because her family are using the room as storage. And then she just closes the door.

>>85638717
Oblivion

>>85638992
Sounds based to me.

>>85641452
Does it matter if she did? The equipment she purchased doesn't just suddenly disappear just because she moved...

>>85641452
Mf that's all she talked about. Almost every stream rescheduled, delayed or canceled was because she had people over setting up her studio.

>>85641412
o7

https://youtu.be/wEbThT71R74?si=12Pimf8hNIFjl2X3

>>85641519
I can see her selling all the stuff, she's gonna need the money

>>85641412
Thank you for getting us in there. If you don't mind, could you share our intros on streamable at some point? I really really like them and would like to save them.

God I can't fucking work. I might need to take the week + next day off

>>85641201
It was an attempt to find a new way to enjoy streaming again that didn’t work. I will always be thankful to Kiara for making use of her studio when no one else did.

>>85631703
Hi. What's the cheapest shotgun to buy?

Timestamps of holos talking about Ame situation?

>>85641412
thanks for managing our participation in all these board events. it was fun

>>85641558
But not the 3D part of it. Just her streaming setup and soundproofing. She’s been there since March and never did a 3D stream once.

>>85641691
The start of Ina, Mori, and Kiara's streams.

>>85641412

>>85641201
To use it. For herself or renting it.

puzzle?

I stopped keeping up with Ame after 2022 but did it really get that bad for these past 2 years? Did her burnout only get worse over time?

>>85641412
/pyon/ is actually starting to beleeb. /awat/ still has a chance

Okay but Ame is going to become an indie basically immediately right?

>>85641412
>them flaunting around a soulless body for merchandising.
This is still quite unlikely based on what they said about selling her merch.

>>85641924
Nah, she's staying affiliated with hololive BECAUSE she has no plans to stream anymore

Listening to Ina talking about it
It's healing my soul somehow. Kiara was depressing as fuck holy shit
https://youtu.be/wsKlsLSJhpQ?t=435

>>85641753
She's been building it for 7 months. You really think it took her 7 months to soundproof a room? It was obviously something to do with 3d. She was talking about hanging railings on the ceiling for cameras.

>>85641677
Mav 88 is solid, but don't end yourself anon

>>85641859
She blamed family issues and moving for not streaming early this year and late last year, but old Ame would have streamed as much as she could during that. And then all that got finished and she still couldn’t keep a consistent streaming schedule. It was obvious, in hindsight.

we were STREAMING at the top of our lungs~

>>85642007
Because Ina has always been about forcing optimism on stream and hiding her emotions.
Meanwhile Kiara wears them on her sleeve.
I trust Kiara more because of how blunt she is with everything and how she isn't afraid of appearing weak or sad like Ina is.

>>85642112
It's an onlyfans room
That's why she's retiring

>>85641924
>rm activity
>was building 3D studio after she decided to leave
i believe

>>85641859
Starting a year ago she would take multi week breaks without saying anything, then she basically took a soft hiatus from December to May.

Ame is on to the next big thing after vtubers. Just wait and see.

>>85641880
/awat/ still in apparently!

This whole deal is so weird
at first i was hopeful that this "soft graduation" would still leave some room for her to do stuff only in reduced capacity
but by now all parties have made it clear that it absolutely is just a graduation in all but name

Which makes me think, why didn't others get this deal? If you can just leave the door open to just randomly one day appear for an event even though you basically don't work there anymore, why didn't Aqua or Sana do this?

>>85642311
I'd cum buckets

>>85641880
You guys got a chance with this result. You may need some help though

>>85641924
Ame wouldn't be Ame without the rest of hololive.

>>85642378
uncharted territory as Ame said

/awat/ is like Ame here. If they go out, they'll do it in their own way. It's not over yet.

There’s really no point in trying to theorize anything until after her stream later where she will hopefully provide some clarity on things.

>>85641924
Maybe?
I assume so.the cover thing doesn’t seem to exclude that
From what i have seen of Green Ame she’s pretty much the same person only without the detective kayfabe and less of a filter.
But it’s gonna be difficult to adjust to a different model I suppose.hopefully she gets a new one made by nabi
Also her content will still be 99% solo stuff like it always has
I

>>85642352
yeah We are tied on goal dif but we did win against them earlier so we are over them

>>85642378
It's Ame sugercoating it for others. She doesn't want anyone to be sad for her.

>>85642440
Has nabi even reacted to her graduation?

Bros…
https://x.com/daydarion/status/1837135819095560427?s=46&t=K3jtusxWXK3acXOUp0vVjg

>>85642437
I feel this stream will answer jack shit and it will mainly be just her outlining what her streams will be for the next week.

>>85642524
Nabi is... uh, she's... yeah...

>>85642524
>nabi
She hasn't been active in months and deleted all her stuff I believe.

>>85642524
Nabi is still MIA

I wish I could forget about her. I wish I never knew her, I wish I didn't care.

>>85642596
Didn’t nabi stream the other day?

>>85642311
Not happening.

Ame's a good bean Teamates
I'm sorry that's she's leaving

>>85642596
She did a drawing stream recently

>>85642645
That's not a nice thing to say anon!

>>85641412
went out to do some errands only to find out we are still fucking alive for one more game
we fucking activated protagonist powers

https://youtu.be/wsKlsLSJhpQ?t=1134
As to why she's doing this, it's painfully obvious

So if /nepolabo/ gets a W or loses small /awat/ ges through
Refer to the chart >>85640050

We do not know what happens if ERROR occurs

>>85641412
o7 let's have some good memories to keep us company while we still can mate. be it /here/ events like this or the streams let's keep loving ame

>>85642557
Well it’s certainly not going to answer her reasons for leaving and whether she’ll reappear as someone else. But I think it’ll be more than what you say.

>>85642007
kiara is too much of a doomer for her own sake. she really is chiken brained and it's endearing in its own way

>>85642777
>her reasons for leaving
-> >>85642732
This is the simplest explanation she mentioned. Just good ol' creative differences

>>85642007
Mori's was the most depressing because she made it quite clear that Ame really is gone and all this "uhh she's still affiliated!" shit from Cover is total bullshit.

https://youtu.be/INNkO4WnBT8?si=kKWvj7xo5EOIztmK

>>85642378
Because it IS a graduation, but Cover are afraid of investor reaction if they announce so many departures in such a short amount of time.
Mel
A-chan
Aqua
Ame
This has been the worst year for hololive in its entire history and it's not even close. They can't afford to allow investors to think that Ame is really leaving right after Aqua and so they're trying to muddy the waters by not calling it a graduation.
But that's literally what it is. The notion that she might show up in a game or something if they make one so that means she's not "graduating" is ridiculous. She will never talk to her fans again. She will never do another karaoke. She won't stream or participate in company collabs. She's gone. And it's so unbelievably cruel to fans to make it seem like there's any hope left at all when there isn't any.

Hi teamates. I'm sorry about the news. I haven't watched Ame or Hololive in a long time but it still saddens me to know that she'll be gone.
If there's one thing I very fondly remember about Ame, it's listening to her sing Kiss Me. Can you please link me to your favorite Kiss Me Ame cover? Thanks.

>>85642596
does anyone have her say so cover with nabi?

>>85642904
All of them at once
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cnXbYNIKLo

>>85642886
Maybe we’ll one day celebrate she got out when she did. Cover getting more and more corporate is only going to cause more issues and will probably drive more talents to leave.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUDOrmRO47g
is it possible to watch this without crying?

>>85642165
Why not? Everyone is coping its Legends contract, but that's basically once a year.

>>85642716
I know but if I knew it would hurt this much I would've rather never know her

>>85642886
Honestly that kinda makes sense actually
Hell with NijiEN going up in flames to the point that the CEO has to tell investors he's abandoned the branch, this would have been the time for Cover to show off but instead they are also getting hit and at the very least in the case of Aqua it seems very possible that they are to blame for her quitting.

>>85639822
>>85639738
>>85639253
Guys, it's just a streamer that is stopping streaming. I know it's your oshi and ill be sad when mine is gone too but this isnt the way. If anything you should be drinking and watching / posting your favorite Ame moments.

>>85643089
I would re-live these 4 years every time. Even knowing the outcome

>>85642886
>She will never talk to her fans again. She will never do another karaoke. She won't stream or participate in company collabs. She's gone. And it's so unbelievably cruel to fans to make it seem like there's any hope left at all when there isn't any.
Fucking end me.

>>85642378
I said it earlier but I honestly don't think Ame thought this through. She spesifically mentioned how she is not graduating and how its different but like I have said its pretty much is graduating and everyone thinks it is because thats literally what it is. There are already holos with low to non-existent output that appear whenever, some take indefinite hiatuses some just appear at fes and anniversary and they have not announced something like this. I just hope she doesnt regret her decision and I am wrong about this. Kiara and Mori said they respect her decision and didnt try to convince her to stay it might be rude and selfish thing to say but I wish they tried

>>85642440
>But it’s gonna be difficult to adjust to a different model I suppose
And the whole lack of the familiar holo environment
At least she’s still friends with everyone

>>85642732
>creative differences doesn't make any sense and will continue to not make sense in the coming months and years as hololive does the same stuff they've always done but with different collabs and games and events. It didn't make sense when Aqua said it either. Hololive didn't change that much recently and won't change that much in the future.
People always say "creative differences" when it's some other issue they don't want to mention or talk about.

Is it weird that I'm not sure I want to watch the chat stream in a few hours?
I can't explain it...

Is there a place that archives all the Graduation threads? It'd be pretty interesting to look them up and compare them.

>>85642886

https://youtu.be/ICp4zUB3QfM

Ina and calli know something about ame even if they don't quite understand what the next step is.

I have this song on loop and I can't stop.
https://youtu.be/qgaRVvAKoqQ?si=rS9unURmzva-gnC-

>>85643384
That's the reason she's leaving, give it any name you want. She's leaving because of restrictions and differences
Hololive IS different, even many JP said so

>>85643463
Is the total freedom to make scuffed VR chat interactions streams on Twitch that important?
That you would give up being a holo?

>>85643325
I opened the 8 minute VOD and clicked at some place and heard her saying something about "making this decision" and just closed my tabs and shut down my pc

>>85643303
i can't believe ina said all that

>>85642849
She specifically said she knows about as much as the rest of us about what Ame's "continued affiliation with hololive" means.

I don't think it's total bullshit, but it's also not going to mean that you can look expect to see more of Ame in the same way ever again. I think the most likely framing of it is that she will have small jokey cameo appearances once in a while. Like maybe with some voice clips and an animations of her popping up in random streams here and there.

>>85643552
If you're going to simplify things foolishly, I won't keep replying to you beyond this post.
Yes, having to report every asset, every game, every idea and every decision to managers and higher ups and waiting for confirmations and rejections, is very tiring for a creative person.

>>85643448
>Ame is not going part-time
>Not becoming staff
>Not a medical hiatus
>Not a burnout hiatus
>Not 1 month lead time
>Not immediate termination
>Not a graduation?
I kind of suspected that Ame was going to do her own startup or something, maybe something Vtuber-supporting that will be a subsidiary of Cover or have a contract with them.

>>85643716
Okay fine, yeah.

>>85643463
Like I keep saying. Almost half the holos have alternate accounts just for that. Ffs Noel makes way more money in her other account than in holo yet she still keeps on trucking. There was something specific about being in Hololive that Ame disliked enough to leave all of her fans, her friends and a LOT of money and security. And no, it wasn't just creative differences because if she wanted to go make a movie she could do it. Nobody was stopping her from doing so. It was something Cover was/is doing.

Remember the fake graduation announcement stream? That was exactly last year, the same fucking day.

New thread:
>>85643787

>>85643636
I've said this a few times today, but I think it's really just Cover having stuff planned that they don't want to suddenly remove her from like they've had to do with Mel and Rushia, and probably Aqua. It's possible they'll eventually announce a formal graduation in a few months or next summer.

>>85643792
What you are not considering is that Ame would make practically the same content in her rm. It would almost be a spit in Hololive's face if she did all the creative content in her alt and only appeared for supa readings and collabs in the main
She would not disrespect them like that

>>85643854
That was 2 years ago

>>85631703
Ame...doko...

>>85643792
It was probably ther perms and JP hour meetings and stuff like thst
And tbf her fans will follow her

>>85643384
You say "it doesn't make sense" as if you have more of an understanding of the inner workings than the talents.
The perms shit is annoying, especially for people with autism and need to be spontaneous. It is a real hindrances for them, it wouldn't be if they were more normal, but they aren't and it is.

ILOVE AME

>>85644009
They already are, her green twitter is up like 1k followers. The real question is do they stick around if her content changes to reaction shit, or even worse collabs with people they hate?

>>85644009
>>85644222
How do you even follow her if she becomes a new persona? Im not sure how you all find their alts when any discussion place like this deletes / bans people for direct talk of such things

>>85644459
Look at threads of vtubers with previous identities and you'll notice something

>Retards blaming idol stuff

We've been through this with Aqua already and even before Dumb & dumber same hot takes from people who probably didn't watch many streams if at all. Holos don't need to engage in idol activities other than stuff like holofes once a year and pretty sure you can even opt-out from that if you have a reason so it was never a problem in fact it's often the opposite when girls want to do more than just bare minimum i bet management have no problem with some girls not even touching the budget for covers or asking for support.

so many kino moments
i'll never forget her

>>85644459
Because that discussion happens so often it's almost impossible not to eventually see it. Also despite the rules here, most people do not give a shit about that and will run to google to try and find more information about someone. Type in any vtuber and the first suggested search usually includes "face".

>>85642836
>>85643384
>only so much you can do in certain situations
That does not need to mean "creative differences"
She might have to take care of family stuff, she might be the stand-in mom for her little brother, she might have something to combat. It doesn't matter, the point is that all Ina said is that Ame's choice was something she had to make due to her place in the world.
It just sucks because to many people she is their world, their sun.

/awat/ is going through lads, we made it

>>85644673
It's obviously the permissions and restrictions, it's the main thing she's complained about during her time in Hololive. That plus all the extra behind the scenes work and meetings.

>tfw no Thanksgiving parade with Ame this year
Cover is a nigger

>>85644870
Ame said the reasons are not personal stuff. I don't know why you are defending management
