Ame koko, in our kokoro. Godspeed, number one detective, Amelia Watson. You've been a really unique one, and has been one of the pillars of the OG HoloEN o7.
I remember Myth 1st anniversary, the moment when Ina says she wants to give them a real hug someday. That moment lives rent free in my head. Thank you, Amelia Watson.
it’s really crazy.. i needed this cry💛 my heart is full of tears and pain. but this is for the best for Ame, i’m sure 💛 AMEWAY FOREVER. i’m getting a Myth tattoo this year and i will cherish it.
Its really wise what Calli is saying: "As a genmate I want her to stay, but as a friend I want her to follow the path that she wants" It hurts me so much, but I think being so close to Aqua's Graduation, and being a Graduation again made me understand more that: If this is the path they want to follow, we have to support them even if it hurts. We have to be happy that we could make all this memories, have a happy ending (even if make us cry) and have the chance to say goodbye. I still going to cry again but it helps me
I completely understand the sentiment as well. We all selfishly want our friends to be around for us all the time. That's a normal feeling, because they're important to us and we don't want to spend less time with them. The more mature parts of us understand that they are doing what is best for them, and we want them to be happy. It doesn't stop us from wanting our selfish wants, but we keep those deep down where they belong.
At least she left the Ame way - she may still work with Cover (albeit not a staff, though she may help out) and we'll still see her in the credits of projects that she's involved in.
it’s crazy to see the difference with Kiara’s reaction to it vs Calli’s.. Kiara was in balling tears. people cope with things differently. Kiara did mention friend
Calliope's workaholic work ethic pays off in her field. That's how it is, trust in your honing of skills, they will never betray you in the time of need.
@@Tona214like ame said, she will stay in hololive, not as a talent or a staff member, but she's still be there to help and to watch as well as support her friends
Yep, and people, if you didn't know, she also has tinitis soo yeah i knew she wouldn't be able to do it for much longer due to her tinitis getting really bad from time to time soo im sure that is also one of her reason for steping back 😢 soo i hope the bewt luck to ame
Ame is like the tony stark of myth. Build her own studio from scrap for her friends. Over time she progress, she Always there for tech work with her friends. She gave kiara a wonderful memory of her 3D concert. Refuse to stay down. She is the heart and leader of HoloEN. Gonna miss her edit: changing her to Leader of HoloEN after the girls told how much of an icon and beacon she truly is to them and how big of a impact ame did for holoEN
@@odd-ysseusdoesstuff6347 She wants to live her own life now. Not the life of Amelia Watson. She has any job she wants for as long as she wants with Hololive, so she'll be alright and around. She just won't have to live the Idol life in the spotlight anymore. That might be one of the most incredible things about the still young vtuber industry. The ability to flip a switch, make an announcement, and suddenly you're just a normal person with an interesting story and great friends from your past. I could see Gura still streaming as Gura when she's 69, and ironically unironically yapping about back in her day. Ame always seemed a bit shy of the spotlight, so I'm glad she shared the experience with us, and I'm glad she can step away for herself.
I'd like to see it as her telling the fans that even though she may not be streaming anymore, the show that is Myth WILL go on, and she WILL still be a part of it one way or another. That is the true Ame Way
FOR WHAT IS YOUR MOM!? WHAT HAS SHE GOT? IF NOT NUGGIES!? THEN SHE HAS NOT TO NOT SAY THE THINGS SHE TRULLY FEEEEL AND NOT THE REEEEEEEEEEE WHEN FORCED TO KNEEL
I just realized that Gonathan won't have his pearl with him on the next chapter. Such a painful information but all we can do is to be happy for both of them.
According to her announcement, this had been in the works for a while, but she wanted to hold the announcement 'til after 4th Anniversary, so that we could all enjoy the milestone worry-free. Basically, she didn't want the cloud of her graduation to darken such a happy moment for the rest of MYTH.
When I first heard the 4th anniversary song, my immediate thought after hearing the lyrics was, "This is going to hit a lot harder if one of them graduates."
Putting all due respect onto Ame's graduation, the fact that she has been around for 4 years since holoEN debut kind of threw me off. I still remember the day the idea was born, I was here even before holoEN was a thing. In a sense, I saw Ame and all the other girls journey's from start to this day. And it has been 4 years already? Damn... How time passes by... Treasure your time and moments everyone, it all goes away always too soon for comfort... I hope Ame remains happy wherever she decides to go from here.
Yeah I remember their introductions like it was yesterday. I barely watch Hololive content anymore but it shocked me to hear that it has been 4 years already. Time flies.
I don't feel this is a graduation. Just that she will be busy with other projects and help out and work to plan Hololive projects as she always has loved to, but that's why the regular streaming side and activity will be ceased. I think that's great for her as she always felt she was more in her zone as an arranger of cool stuff. Lets hope she can return during such events to take part in similar ways like A-chan did or so. :)
This one didn't make me as sad initially, due to the "still an affiliate" part. But then when Calli started talking about how Myth was all "thrown into the trenches together," and how "nothing will take away all the things we've done together," it kinda broke me not gonna lie. God, the amount of trend-setting and, as Calli said, pioneering that Ame did for not just Hololive but the VTubing community at large is kind of mind boggling looking back at it. And this will be a weird tangent, but I feel that when it comes to Hololive's fan content, more than any other gen, Myth has the most of what I'd call "angstposting," where people will make fan comics of stuff like Kiara x Calli being great fuel for angstposting since it's a relationship between a grim reaper and someone constantly reincarnating. Another great example is the ENReco Gonothan moment of "Yes. And you are?" But Myth is a generation with an immortal reaper, an immortal shark, an immortal phoenix, an immortal shrine priestess, and a regular human. And the first person to step away from that group being the regular human is without question going to lead to peak angstposting.
Completely unrelated and I know not every likes Genshin, but your comment reminds me of fanart of the “Mini’s” or the Smol characters in game. four in particular two are human, one is an elf, and the last one is based off the Chinese hopping zombies i.e. she’s immortal. In one instance they’re still small girls, then they’re taller teenagers, then two gravestones as the zombie girl comforts the crying elf girl, finally just the zombie girl and three very old moss covered gravestones…immortality sucks everyone who desires it just doesn’t know it.
@@EduardoRodriguez-tu8nf I don't know Genshin, but I imagined it, and it reminded me of the Green Mile movie, in which the main character was granted (or rather cursed) with basically immortality. And that main character, Tom Hanks, says that he sees it as a punishment, because he saw death of all his family members, friends, every person - he witnessed the funeral even of the woman from the retirement home (he was telling her his life story, the story of the whole movie).
Honestly, same, and the more I see about it the more the memories flood my eyes with tears, but what else can we do except enjoy our last moments with her and cherish the memories we made along the way :')
More talents over more time means more graduations. Condolences to Teammates who had her as their oshi. I believe that her impact on the technicalities and organising behind the scenes of Myth are part of why they all feel legendary to us now. Thank you for committing your brilliant abilities to make Myth the mythical quintet we know and love.
One person that deserves credit is calli, she is such a sweetheart helping fans deal with sana's graduation, magni and vesper's graduation, she addresses the situation while helping people process this sad stuff. All my support to the teammates, I know it's not easy to lose an oshi but just remember you can get through this
We all know it's hard to say goodbye to Ame but we must push forward and become stronger. That's what Ame wanted for us. Not to be sad that she'll stop channel activities but reminisce the good times we had with her and Myth and move on and become better. We'll all push through because we're one big HoloFamily. And we must continue to support Myth and everyone else as per Ame's wishes.
I feel the same about Ina, Gura and Fauna. I straight up fear the day we get bad news about any of those as I will be unreasonably sad... This doesn't strike me as bad as I feel like Ame will stay around Hololive as an "A-chan" of sorts but won't be one of the streaming cast. She has always thrived as someone planning projects and all that and I think it's cool she will get a specific spot like that, possibly? Well I hope at least.
It is hard for us fans but I just can't imagine how harder it is for the talents themselves. Sure she isn't leaving Hololive totally and they can hang irl but it won't be the same without Ame with them physically. What I will say Ame make a lot of people happy and honestly? I am glad Ame in this universe I get to meet her and be happy with her. We love you Ame!
She said that she will appear once in a while in Hololive Projects so don't get your hopes down, sure she'll be inactive for a very a long time but when she came back even for a while, it will be a happy time
@@FakhriIkhwanda Ame is still associated with Hololive, she just retired from streaming, vods etc. From now on she'll be working behind the screen, don't worry though because once in a while she will appear in different hololive projects.
At least they're leaving happy, loved, fulfilled and excited for a new adventure, unlike another certain company where their talents are just trying to jump off a burning ship as fast as they can.
I'm not really sure how to process this. I've been watching Ame since 2020, and I didn't think this ride could ever end. I mean, I knew something like this could happen eventually, but _Myth?_ They're the pioneers in their field, they're all legendary Vtubers, each and every one of them. To see one go, even if not a full graduation, hits so hard. But nothing lasts forever I guess; all good things must come to an end. And don't get me wrong, Sana leaving, and even Coco leaving, were incredibly tough moments, but in my head all of Myth were these untouchable behemoths that could continue blazing new trails. I know that's not physically possible, and I know all of them have gone through their own personal struggles, but this really puts into perspective how far they've gone. If she's tired, she deserves rest. I don't know what I'm trying to say, this is still so raw. I guess what I'm trying to say is, we love you Ame.
With all due respect Hololive EN aren't the pioneers of the Vtubing scene as some of y'all seem to think that was the Hololive JAPANESE branch that started it all both for Japanese folks and overseas folks that DID watch them. It wasn't till Kiryu Coco (former member of one of the Jap branches) that went up to COver Corp and was all "Yo, we need to branch out our Vtubing talents more to a wider audience" which is how they decided to create the Hololive EN Branch in the first place. Sure those that didn't watch the OG Japanese Vtubers HololiveEN was their introduction,exposure to Vtubers but to say they're the "pioneers of their field" is respectfully not true my guy just saying
Don't mean to be mean but I think it only really lands on Gura for the whole EN revolution of Vtubers. Also, it's a very interesting way of wording that it makes me believe it won't be a graduation. Just an unknown hiatus? It's weird.
@@OnlyGrafting Apparently Ame is like their backbones? Which is why she prefer working behind the scene and possibly with tech support moving forward. Calli is definitely their superstar in music niche. Everytime she releases something they get millions of views in an instant. Gura's influence definitely extends way beyond hololive tho. But i won't discredit others in Myth because they all played their role.
since Gura started streaming less often and going on long breaks, i was preparing for the graduation of one of the Myths, and i was preparing to accept the news that it would be Gura. it hurt me, but the recent activity calmed me down, Breaking Dimensions, ENreco, HoloGTA, it was wonderful and gave me confidence in the future of Hololive. and the news of her graduation was like a kick in the balls, i couldn't believe it, i thought maybe it was just an indefinite break, but no, it's a farewell to the legend of an entire era. i am incredibly sad, her innovations have become one of the pillars of the current Hololive, and i understand that we are not losing her, but it really hurts not to see her on stage anymore.
For me it's actually the opposite, the sudden uptick of ame and gura content made me feel uneasy, graduations themselves aren't necessarily hard for me, what is hard however is not knowing if they'll resume activities on their own
@@matiaspereyra9392 when someone is graduating, what hurts me most is the thought that they will leave the media space in general, and disappear from the radar, that we will no longer see what our gremlin detective does, and the only thing that calms me down is that Ame is graduating (yes, I cried a little when I found out about this, and even now it's sad) because she will definitely do it on AmeWay
Ame changed hololive. Myth would not be the same if she hadn’t been there at the start. Same goes for each member. They may not think so, but all the myth girls contributed so much in their own ways to the development of hololive and the pioneering of the EN branch.
it's also not erasure in the same way. we're allowed to talk about her, consider her an original member, and she is even going to appear in official joined hololive productions. "Amelia Watson" is not erased. she just doesn't include personal channel activities anymore in her work.
Calli says she's not a good speaker, but she put it pretty well. She's obviously sad. But there's probably either NDA stuff, or Ame's privacy wishes to consider. However she navigated it well. It's sad we can't see her stream anymore. It's also sad for the girls themselves as they won't be able to collab with her. But if they want to keep in contact behind the scenes I'm sure they can. Plus, 4 years is a long time in RUclips/streamer years. Ame made a lot of good memories, and left her mark.
A lot of us hoped she was joining the EN branch staff. A lot of us hope that it's not something medically or want to believe she's going on to bigger, better things. ...but I think we all need to come to terms with the possibility that Ame might just be tired of streaming. She's worked her cap off for 4 years. I think she might want a break now, and that's totally okay.
@@LeNathDuNet funnily enough that was one of the first things I thought of too. Because I didn't have the immediate thought of her becoming staff and then the fact that she has completely nixed that idea... it seems more likely.
the way i see it is ame will plan and make events for EN and maybe partake as a presentator for said events The events planning and drafting maybe take too much time so i think with her personality she's beginning to see streaming and studio recording as a hindrance Maybe this is huge copium but i prefere to be optimistic
Time flies so fast, we just finished watching holoMyth's anniversary stream a few days ago and Ame had to stop streaming, this is so sad 😢 At least the fact that she's still in hololive to support everyone is a comfort to us. Thanks Ame for the 4 amazing years, she will always be the funniest and cutest Gremlin detective
A really interesting facet of the emergence of VTubers culturally is how often the public experiences shared grief. We are collectively experiencing loss every time a talent graduates. Normally, this is something people experience in isolation or with a few people they know intimately. With graduation, we get to share that grief with the entire community. We also get a chance to say goodbye. I think grief is a healthy emotion to experience, and I'm glad that we get the opportunity to experience it in a circumstance where the person we lose gets to go on living a healthy and happy life. I think we'll all miss the little gremlin.
She was one of my favorites. Gonna miss seeing her, but I hope she is happy in her future. She's moving on with her life, whatever may happen going forward is her business.
I still remember that meme photo when all of them stood beside each other with their models and smiled for the photo. And then people rendered this into the photo that Jotaro looked at with a smile, while he sat in a plane and he put it into his pocket while smiling out of the window. The message was _" Cherish this moment because nothing lasts forever. "_ Time for Ame... 💧🌧
@@ezper_I don't think anyone can explain what happened, unless they are a stalker that knows about Ame's Personal life lol. Basically she kinda graduated, but might pop up occasionally for special events.
First Mel graduating, then A-chan leaving, then Aqua leaving, and now Ame ceasing channel activities at the end of this month. This year has not been so well for us Holofans.
I'm going to Miss Ame, just like how I'll miss Mel and A Chan. Why? Why is 2024 so cruel? I hate this year more than any other. I was there when Ame and HoloMyth debuted. She was my Oshi back then. I stayed in Hololive because of her! Now she's gone! Give me some sunshine! give me some rain! Give me another chance! I want to grow up once again! I want to repeat the previous 4 years with her again. Her GTA streams and her movie watchalongs always entertained me. Watching her improve her singing and Idol performance lifted and moved my heart. I'll miss that Gamer Gremlin. Peo! I feel you! I understand you Peo!
I knew they would all graduate one day, but even seeing it coming doesn't prepare me for the sadness I feel. Godspeed to where ever she goes, I hope she keeps doing things the Ame way.
This isn't too surprising for anyone who keeps up with her. For a while now, it's really seemed like she's been way more into the creative side of things, so having Ame transition to a more creative production-type job VS a streamer actually seems like a very ON-BRAND move for her. I'll definitely miss her streams, but she'll still be there ❤🔍❤
It's probably just me but Ame has always kind of been, at arms length with her community it's a big contrast watching her as compared to watching Gura or Kiara. I think sometimes the girls can get a little creeped out by their own fanbase (best example I can think of this is Nyanners recent model changes) which I understand, Ame always struck me as more of a tech support/higher tier computer nerd than a common anime weeb find with making butt and feet jokes all day.
Watching the concerts without Ame will hurt. ReUnion, Show Goes On, Journey Like a Thousand Years; watching all of those with only four members will hurt, but we gotta respect her decision. Nothing comes out of nowhere, and remember she didn’t say she’ll be graduating, just “terminating social media activities and remain in Hololive for some projects”, so even if we don’t get to see her streams anymore, her funny noises during collabs and her voice during singing, she’ll still be there, cheering for her genmates behind the curtains. Remember what she said during The Show Goes On, they’ll all be friends forever, and just like Calli said: Myth will always be five
Yeah, that is how I read that as well. It doesn't talk about graduating, at talks about terminating activities and staying affiliate. So there will still be some gremlin somewhere in the background.
@@FakhriIkhwanda she’s not becoming staff. What’s happening is: she won’t be livestreaming or participating in concerts anymore, BUT she won’t be fully graduated. When a talent graduates, they stop being affiliated to Hololive/Cover Corp, but Ame will STILL be affiliated to the company and will participate in some projects sometimes. What i saw that i think it’s most possible is that she’ll continue to appear in those official short animations posted on Hololive’s channel and the character Watson Amelia will continue to be used for merch such as voicepacks, figures and other merchandise I dunno if this is the correct, but Ame isn’t graduating, she’s stepping behind the curtains
@@HappyBeezerStudios yeah, and it honestly makes me happy. The fact she wanted to terminate the streams and concerts (most probably due to tiredness) but still wanted to be a part of the company and Myth shows that she truly loves her genmates and doesn’t want to “go away”
That's to be expected after the things they went through together. Myth were basically on their own during the beginning, with the pandemic/lockdown preventing them from receiving much support from Cover. So they had to rely heavily on each other and Ame was their main tech support for a long time. I don't know if Myth would have made it through as well as they did without her, even as amazing as every one of the girls are.
My heart dropped when I heard this. But yours and Ame's words of encouragement (plus you talking about sweet nothings) really helped calm me down. Thanks for always being you and I'm glad that you two will share a friendship that will transcend time itself ❤ Thank you for being you
I hope ame has the best where ever she goes, I just really enjoyed her streams when I was able to catch them, I know this is a huge blow to the entire EN side of things.
The only positive about this situation, Ame is and will be still a part of Hololive, even her activitis are stopped. That dosen't mean she can't go back one day. Like Uto, she came back after one year.
Translation: she's gone part-time because she wants to do other things besides vtuber stuff. This makes so much sense. Cover wouldn't want to graduate her if she can come back from time to time.
Eh, you don't have to do that if you don't want to. As is Myth had multiple people going months without streams, so it's not like they need to officially quit in order to take 3-month-long vacays. Hell, there's the whole Nakirium phenomenon... I'd say that's also why it doesn't surprise me, it was clear for a while (years?) that Ame's heart really wasn't in doing the grinding out daily streams thing anymore.
@@zeriel9148she love the opportunity to know all the ppl in the industry all those talent and artist and the great work project with them so kinda a given she want to focus on that even more, than just the "mundane" streaming
@@zeriel9148 Who can blame them. They've been living the lives of world wide idols for four years straight. It doesn't leave them much time for their lives. I think she just wants to live her own life instead.
Although Ame has always announced it, it must be said that she already worked on things at home, talents within Hololive, so on one hand it is really good for her because this way she concentrates more on things she wants to do and to continue supporting the same as a fan of Myth that I am, Ame forever and the rest of the community continue supporting your oshis :)
It's more painful for the Teamates who has been following Ame for 4 years straight from the start. For them, Ame is a shining beacon of happiness that started during the pandemic. All her karaoke streams were fun as heck, oozing with her personality. Every Ame variant made them laugh and smile to no end. And her voice is just the sound of family for them. I know, I'm one of those Teamates.
Amelia stood with us for 4 years. And we liked her journey of being herself But there's always be a end of a journey. Someone said "Vtubers have a lifespan of 4 years, be happy while they are here." Thank you Watson
Tbh I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. It was pretty clear that Ame likes being behind the scenes more than anything else, considering all the support she gives to other members. I always figured she'd stop streaming and work for Hololive in a different capacity instead.
Honestly, I think she made it that way so she would have a choice to come back in a full time capacity without issue. She's young, I expect her to come back within a year full-time once she sees all the money dry up & how hard it is in today's market 😂
I think Ame just doesn't want to stream anymore or having a feeling of being oblige to stream since she's a part of hololive, if i remember correctly its part of their contract to stream twice a week, but cover let them take long breaks which probably made her feel guilty about it, so she probably thought it's best to put an end to this and does the ame way, which is no more streaming but still an idol and still be a part of hololive, it's very interesting because this is the first time this happened in vtuber community, so let see and hope Ame for the best
I've never seen Ame get into "her" character quite as much as the other four, she seemed to have the most established wall up between personal life and vtuber persona always seemed to be working on something bigger and not quite satisfied with where she wound up. The fact they kept her on as affiliate makes me think she wants to try and spread her wings with this moderate success and make one last attempt at the IRL world and making money there. Ame reminds me of a lot of people I watched after graduating art school as they realize the nature and reality of being a creative for business sense as opposed to just trying to see what amazing things you can achieve on your own. I think she's more at odds with the way her life turned out as opposed to what she envisioned or maybe when she still thinks she can segue into from her time at Cover. The good thing about this kind of creative is they either find their real dream on their own or collapse and have a mental episode before accepting who they are now. She might be back the fact she didn't "graduate" means it's not a concrete decision, to the point even a huge professional Japanese company can see it.
I think that "stream twice a week" point only matters for your first year. Gura, Mel, and Ayame have taken significant breaks between streams. Ame herself has taken extended breaks. They've basically paid for themselves after the first year at any rate. Also Ame just upgraded her stream setup.. I have a feeling we could see her return to her PL.
Ame has done so much not just for hololive but for vtuber community in general. This is a fitting way to put down her huge legacy as one of the few big names in vtubing. Still tho.... AMEEEEEEE!!!!
Amelia was such a big driver of group content and streams. She brought everyone together in a very special and unique way. From the 3d studio to the spelling bee Ame has always been an innovator and a great asset to hololive. I'm gonna miss the charm only she could bring to stream a lot if im honest. As a fan I want to be selfish and keep these moments going forever but things change and so do people. I hope she knows we really truly appreciated everything she has done for the community, and that we'll always cheer her on wherever she goes and when she pops in for whatever in the future!
I got it around 2020 and let me tell you... it wasn't that much better, one of the members with the most potential in gen 5 graduating in a few weeks on my birthday, the entire china-Taiwan controversy debacle that made one of the most OG members (Coco) to graduate, and the entire CN branch to be dropped (thank god tbh)... and that's just the "highlights" of that year...
I got into hololive around 2017 the first gen. i see aloe,coco,all holo CN,rushia,sana,mel,a-chan,aqua and now ame grad/term. its feel bad watching them gone. but as fans,we need support them. ohh almost forget Chris too (well this one is forbidden to talk about)
Maybe she will become seiyuu of ame instead of ame the streamer from now on, idk, but the fact that shes not fully graduated is a proof enough that she loves hololive and her genmates
Some of the girls are quite young. And things change with time. Age comes and possibilities start to appear and disappear. Maybe health, maybe love, maybe tiredness, maybe her own business. All things can happen. She is quite an awesome talent, and i think her own ethic doesn't allow for much uncertainty in some things. Thing is, she needs to do what is best. Even if not good, some things are the only possible outcome to try and move on. An her legacy is there, and it is unquestionable.
Why do I feel like Ame is just gonna make a new EN branch that requires her and her new genmates go around doing wacky, zany and potentially dangerous adventures?
Calli worded this fantastic. No matter who your oshi(s) are, they will be graduating one day. Ame has done so much for the vtubing scene, especially behind the scenes over the years it's crazy. While she won't be in the spotlight or a member of staff, she can still make appearances and her spirit is still very much there. Wishing nothing but the best on her new adventures
Myth has always been super special to me even if I haven't watched as many of the streams as I feel like I should have. Seeing what they have been through and how close they all are to each other always brightened my day and put a bit of a song in my heart. Going to be sad to see Ame step back and I do wish her all the best.
We're not okay Calli, at least me is definitely not "When you zoom out, you can see that there are all these branching paths and not all of us are headed down the same one" this is so clean said
Anytime someone suddenly graduates, my thoughts always immediately go to "I hope their/their loved ones health haven't taken a turn for the worse!". Because that's always my greatest concern. I hope she's safe, healthy and that her loved ones are too, and that this is 100% just a lifestyle change she has decided on
As heartbreaking as this is, I’m truly not surprised. It’s been very apparent for some time she’s become something like the A-Chan of HoloEN…. Well not exactly since she’s of course not JP fluent. But she has been involved in a lot of behind the scenes expansion so we’ve seen this coming. Still, very heartbreaking I’ll miss our favorite gremlins screeches and million models. Edit: was incorrect on assuming she’d be like a behind the scenes staff. But I remember hearing from past streams how she’s always been very involved behind the scenes and logistics wise was something like the glue and support for all of myth. Either way, truly a sad day knowing we won’t get future amesame content that’s brought us joy these past 4 years 😭 💙 💛
It's unclear. She's not quite an A-chan, because she said she's not becoming staff. But I don't really know what else there is, besides being telent or being staff. Hopefully Ame can explain a bit more what her relationship with the company will be from next month.
@@OriginalPiMan my assumption is that she will still be affiliated in the sense that she can show up to events and other holomember's streams when she wants and even stream on her own if she so chooses and that the graduation is effectively just a way to put less pressure on her professionally
@@alexpiatt1282 that makes sense since for the first time they’re not using the word graduating, which is quite interesting. We’ll just see what she says in her upcoming stream.
I cannot blame Calli. The longer you mingle with a coworker that vibes with you, the harder it hits you when they plan to resign. I will need a week or two to recover.
@tribopower Calli has signed what is likely a long term contract with Sony Music (or some other music label, I forgot). She won't be leaving anytime soon unless she has severe health problems.
How I see this: - They part on good terms - Myth is too legendary of an IP to fully graduate ame, so cover lets her do whatever she wants - Let me cope
I think it's MORE than just coping. This ACTUALLY kind of makes sense. Once again, this feels like Cover trying to be innovative in the VTuber space and trying something that MIGHT even become the new Meta for Corporate Vtubing. I think it's MORE of a "contract renegotiation" than a "parting" though. I think she's going to just be working less full time for the company, but they're CALLING that "behind the scenes" to maintain an image.
I didn't mind if Ame's on her own adventures (Or possibly an indefinite hiatus) as long as the Myth tries to remain five. Let's not jump to conclusions despite the sudden shock that happened today. Let Ame do all the talking every stream. Alright, teamates?

I remember Myth 1st anniversary, the moment when Ina says she wants to give them a real hug someday. That moment lives rent free in my head. Thank you, Amelia Watson.
I hope myth does an off collab before ame graduates so Ina can give everyone a hug
@KnightmareSenpai i don't think it's an official graduation since Ame will still be appearing in certain hololive events.
Yes 😭😭😭
@@AlexBarbuIl I think you should let it go at the point
it’s really crazy.. i needed this cry💛 my heart is full of tears and pain. but this is for the best for Ame, i’m sure 💛 AMEWAY FOREVER. i’m getting a Myth tattoo this year and i will cherish it.
I knew one day we would all say _"Ame doko"_ one last time
*puts hand over heart* Ame coco
😭
On the last day, it should be clarified that Ame Doko is no more it will be Ame koko 👉💛
I know this year is rough but, Stay strong y'all
Ama doko. Ama cry 😢
This will be the most sad and last ame doko, don't sounds nothing good......
Its really wise what Calli is saying: "As a genmate I want her to stay, but as a friend I want her to follow the path that she wants"
It hurts me so much, but I think being so close to Aqua's Graduation, and being a Graduation again made me understand more that: If this is the path they want to follow, we have to support them even if it hurts.
We have to be happy that we could make all this memories, have a happy ending (even if make us cry) and have the chance to say goodbye.
I still going to cry again but it helps me
Yeah, both of them so close together is it. We're still digesting Aqua leaving, and now Ame as well.
I completely understand the sentiment as well. We all selfishly want our friends to be around for us all the time. That's a normal feeling, because they're important to us and we don't want to spend less time with them.
The more mature parts of us understand that they are doing what is best for them, and we want them to be happy. It doesn't stop us from wanting our selfish wants, but we keep those deep down where they belong.
At least she left the Ame way - she may still work with Cover (albeit not a staff, though she may help out) and we'll still see her in the credits of projects that she's involved in.
It's not another graduation, it's something else. Nobody seems to know what it is.
Maybe Ame is ascending and will become Amelia Godtson?
it’s crazy to see the difference with Kiara’s reaction to it vs Calli’s.. Kiara was in balling tears. people cope with things differently. Kiara did mention friend
Says she doesn't know how to talk, proceeds to say incredibly wise and wholesome words.
Damn, wise words indeed
Calli is such an articulate, eloquent speaker. I would alwasy choose her as my spokeperson if I could and need to choose a spokeperson
These words Calli speak are from the heart. Truthful and wholesum. From Calli to Ame. One friend to another. The heart always speaks true.
What she means is that she doesn’t know how to be a professional bullshitter like most PR people are that say basically nothing with 400 words
Calliope's workaholic work ethic pays off in her field. That's how it is, trust in your honing of skills, they will never betray you in the time of need.
I hope people don't pressure her so much, Ame is someone she's worked with for four years... I'm pretty sure she already have a lot on her plate
We as her fans we know.
Or the other talents. Not because she is still in the company, you have to be annoying all the time if Ame is going to be on an event, collab, etc.
@@Tona214like ame said, she will stay in hololive, not as a talent or a staff member, but she's still be there to help and to watch as well as support her friends
Yep, and people, if you didn't know, she also has tinitis soo yeah i knew she wouldn't be able to do it for much longer due to her tinitis getting really bad from time to time soo im sure that is also one of her reason for steping back 😢 soo i hope the bewt luck to ame
@@mr.wiggles1899 Tinnitus? Yeah, I don't think it's that big of an issue to just... outright quit your job.
Ame is like the tony stark of myth.
Build her own studio from scrap for her friends. Over time she progress, she Always there for tech work with her friends. She gave kiara a wonderful memory of her 3D concert. Refuse to stay down. She is the heart and leader of HoloEN.
Gonna miss her
edit: changing her to Leader of HoloEN after the girls told how much of an icon and beacon she truly is to them and how big of a impact ame did for holoEN

Thank you for the 4 years, Ame.
Truth. We don't fully grasp what's happening why Ame is leaving, but we have to support her all the way. Thanks Ame, for everything
@@odd-ysseusdoesstuff6347 She wants to live her own life now. Not the life of Amelia Watson. She has any job she wants for as long as she wants with Hololive, so she'll be alright and around. She just won't have to live the Idol life in the spotlight anymore.
That might be one of the most incredible things about the still young vtuber industry. The ability to flip a switch, make an announcement, and suddenly you're just a normal person with an interesting story and great friends from your past. I could see Gura still streaming as Gura when she's 69, and ironically unironically yapping about back in her day. Ame always seemed a bit shy of the spotlight, so I'm glad she shared the experience with us, and I'm glad she can step away for herself.
"The show will go on, with or without me."
- Amelia Watson, probably
But it will never be the same
I'd like to see it as her telling the fans that even though she may not be streaming anymore, the show that is Myth WILL go on, and she WILL still be a part of it one way or another. That is the true Ame Way

I just realized that Gonathan won't have his pearl with him on the next chapter. Such a painful information but all we can do is to be happy for both of them.
Can't believe it just happened just days after their 4th Anniversary but still at least she's around CoverCorp only for a little while as a streamer
At least she got to celebrate their 4th anniversary. I'd say she went out with a banger of a party.
@@iaminsideyourwalls2021 you DAMN right she did
According to her announcement, this had been in the works for a while, but she wanted to hold the announcement 'til after 4th Anniversary, so that we could all enjoy the milestone worry-free. Basically, she didn't want the cloud of her graduation to darken such a happy moment for the rest of MYTH.
When I first heard the 4th anniversary song, my immediate thought after hearing the lyrics was, "This is going to hit a lot harder if one of them graduates."
@@sethd.8381mine was "ok something's up" the tone doth protesteth too much
Putting all due respect onto Ame's graduation, the fact that she has been around for 4 years since holoEN debut kind of threw me off. I still remember the day the idea was born, I was here even before holoEN was a thing. In a sense, I saw Ame and all the other girls journey's from start to this day. And it has been 4 years already? Damn... How time passes by...
Treasure your time and moments everyone, it all goes away always too soon for comfort...
I hope Ame remains happy wherever she decides to go from here.
the frogman suits in 3d still is a core memory for me
Yeah I remember when Holo EN seemed like Coco’s pipe dream
Yeah I remember their introductions like it was yesterday. I barely watch Hololive content anymore but it shocked me to hear that it has been 4 years already. Time flies.
I don't feel this is a graduation. Just that she will be busy with other projects and help out and work to plan Hololive projects as she always has loved to, but that's why the regular streaming side and activity will be ceased.
I think that's great for her as she always felt she was more in her zone as an arranger of cool stuff.
Lets hope she can return during such events to take part in similar ways like A-chan did or so. :)
@@sarcasm-83 I agree, this doesn't feel like a graduation. It feels like a sabbatical.
This one didn't make me as sad initially, due to the "still an affiliate" part. But then when Calli started talking about how Myth was all "thrown into the trenches together," and how "nothing will take away all the things we've done together," it kinda broke me not gonna lie. God, the amount of trend-setting and, as Calli said, pioneering that Ame did for not just Hololive but the VTubing community at large is kind of mind boggling looking back at it.
And this will be a weird tangent, but I feel that when it comes to Hololive's fan content, more than any other gen, Myth has the most of what I'd call "angstposting," where people will make fan comics of stuff like Kiara x Calli being great fuel for angstposting since it's a relationship between a grim reaper and someone constantly reincarnating. Another great example is the ENReco Gonothan moment of "Yes. And you are?" But Myth is a generation with an immortal reaper, an immortal shark, an immortal phoenix, an immortal shrine priestess, and a regular human. And the first person to step away from that group being the regular human is without question going to lead to peak angstposting.
Oh no... it's Frieren all over again
Fuck man the artist are gonna go crazy with the angst
Completely unrelated and I know not every likes Genshin, but your comment reminds me of fanart of the “Mini’s” or the Smol characters in game. four in particular two are human, one is an elf, and the last one is based off the Chinese hopping zombies i.e. she’s immortal. In one instance they’re still small girls, then they’re taller teenagers, then two gravestones as the zombie girl comforts the crying elf girl, finally just the zombie girl and three very old moss covered gravestones…immortality sucks everyone who desires it just doesn’t know it.
@@EduardoRodriguez-tu8nf I don't know Genshin, but I imagined it, and it reminded me of the Green Mile movie, in which the main character was granted (or rather cursed) with basically immortality. And that main character, Tom Hanks, says that he sees it as a punishment, because he saw death of all his family members, friends, every person - he witnessed the funeral even of the woman from the retirement home (he was telling her his life story, the story of the whole movie).
Honestly, same, and the more I see about it the more the memories flood my eyes with tears, but what else can we do except enjoy our last moments with her and cherish the memories we made along the way :')
More talents over more time means more graduations.
Condolences to Teammates who had her as their oshi.
I believe that her impact on the technicalities and organising behind the scenes of Myth are part of why they all feel legendary to us now.
Thank you for committing your brilliant abilities to make Myth the mythical quintet we know and love.
One person that deserves credit is calli, she is such a sweetheart helping fans deal with sana's graduation, magni and vesper's graduation, she addresses the situation while helping people process this sad stuff.
All my support to the teammates, I know it's not easy to lose an oshi but just remember you can get through this
Well she is a reaper after all. A kind reaper the one that tells you that you WERE a good toaster, or vacuum, or Boomer vampire, etc. etc.
Ill say this now bros.... i don't think ill be ever ready to say good bye to Ame...
We all know it's hard to say goodbye to Ame but we must push forward and become stronger. That's what Ame wanted for us. Not to be sad that she'll stop channel activities but reminisce the good times we had with her and Myth and move on and become better.
We'll all push through because we're one big HoloFamily. And we must continue to support Myth and everyone else as per Ame's wishes.
Man, I'm getting teary just by reading these types of comments.
Might not be a "goodbye" but a "see you around"
I feel the same about Ina, Gura and Fauna. I straight up fear the day we get bad news about any of those as I will be unreasonably sad...
This doesn't strike me as bad as I feel like Ame will stay around Hololive as an "A-chan" of sorts but won't be one of the streaming cast. She has always thrived as someone planning projects and all that and I think it's cool she will get a specific spot like that, possibly? Well I hope at least.
@@sarcasm-83 will definitely be my end in the case of Goobs and Mooms....
This is a reminder to Cherish your Oshi when they're still around
It is hard for us fans but I just can't imagine how harder it is for the talents themselves. Sure she isn't leaving Hololive totally and they can hang irl but it won't be the same without Ame with them physically. What I will say Ame make a lot of people happy and honestly? I am glad Ame in this universe I get to meet her and be happy with her. We love you Ame!
She said that she will appear once in a while in Hololive Projects so don't get your hopes down, sure she'll be inactive for a very a long time but when she came back even for a while, it will be a happy time
She's like a special guest like those sitcoms in later seasons. She'll appear when the special occasion arises.

Stay strong comrades, we all know this would come. We just must appreciate that it happens and be happy for them.
At least they're leaving happy, loved, fulfilled and excited for a new adventure, unlike another certain company where their talents are just trying to jump off a burning ship as fast as they can.
@@piplupcolawe don't talk about them.
I'm not really sure how to process this. I've been watching Ame since 2020, and I didn't think this ride could ever end. I mean, I knew something like this could happen eventually, but _Myth?_ They're the pioneers in their field, they're all legendary Vtubers, each and every one of them. To see one go, even if not a full graduation, hits so hard. But nothing lasts forever I guess; all good things must come to an end.
And don't get me wrong, Sana leaving, and even Coco leaving, were incredibly tough moments, but in my head all of Myth were these untouchable behemoths that could continue blazing new trails. I know that's not physically possible, and I know all of them have gone through their own personal struggles, but this really puts into perspective how far they've gone. If she's tired, she deserves rest.
I don't know what I'm trying to say, this is still so raw. I guess what I'm trying to say is, we love you Ame.
Legendary lol
With all due respect Hololive EN aren't the pioneers of the Vtubing scene as some of y'all seem to think that was the Hololive JAPANESE branch that started it all both for Japanese folks and overseas folks that DID watch them.
It wasn't till Kiryu Coco (former member of one of the Jap branches) that went up to COver Corp and was all "Yo, we need to branch out our Vtubing talents more to a wider audience" which is how they decided to create the Hololive EN Branch in the first place.
Sure those that didn't watch the OG Japanese Vtubers HololiveEN was their introduction,exposure to Vtubers but to say they're the "pioneers of their field" is respectfully not true my guy just saying
Don't mean to be mean but I think it only really lands on Gura for the whole EN revolution of Vtubers.
Also, it's a very interesting way of wording that it makes me believe it won't be a graduation. Just an unknown hiatus? It's weird.
@@OnlyGrafting I get the sense that it's "quitting (graduating) but with cameos".
@@OnlyGrafting Apparently Ame is like their backbones? Which is why she prefer working behind the scene and possibly with tech support moving forward. Calli is definitely their superstar in music niche. Everytime she releases something they get millions of views in an instant. Gura's influence definitely extends way beyond hololive tho. But i won't discredit others in Myth because they all played their role.
since Gura started streaming less often and going on long breaks, i was preparing for the graduation of one of the Myths, and i was preparing to accept the news that it would be Gura. it hurt me, but the recent activity calmed me down, Breaking Dimensions, ENreco, HoloGTA, it was wonderful and gave me confidence in the future of Hololive. and the news of her graduation was like a kick in the balls, i couldn't believe it, i thought maybe it was just an indefinite break, but no, it's a farewell to the legend of an entire era. i am incredibly sad, her innovations have become one of the pillars of the current Hololive, and i understand that we are not losing her, but it really hurts not to see her on stage anymore.
For me it's actually the opposite, the sudden uptick of ame and gura content made me feel uneasy, graduations themselves aren't necessarily hard for me, what is hard however is not knowing if they'll resume activities on their own
@@matiaspereyra9392 when someone is graduating, what hurts me most is the thought that they will leave the media space in general, and disappear from the radar, that we will no longer see what our gremlin detective does, and the only thing that calms me down is that Ame is graduating (yes, I cried a little when I found out about this, and even now it's sad) because she will definitely do it on AmeWay
Calli seriously has a way with words. Let's enjoy Ame time while we still can guys
Ame changed hololive. Myth would not be the same if she hadn’t been there at the start. Same goes for each member. They may not think so, but all the myth girls contributed so much in their own ways to the development of hololive and the pioneering of the EN branch.
Unlike other graduations, this doesn't feel like "goodbye."
It really is a "see you later."
I always liked the way to say goodbye in German “Auf Wiedersehen“ it’s not exactly “goodbye”, but more a: “until we see each other again”.
it's also not erasure in the same way. we're allowed to talk about her, consider her an original member, and she is even going to appear in official joined hololive productions. "Amelia Watson" is not erased. she just doesn't include personal channel activities anymore in her work.
Calli says she's not a good speaker, but she put it pretty well. She's obviously sad. But there's probably either NDA stuff, or Ame's privacy wishes to consider. However she navigated it well.
It's sad we can't see her stream anymore. It's also sad for the girls themselves as they won't be able to collab with her. But if they want to keep in contact behind the scenes I'm sure they can.
Plus, 4 years is a long time in RUclips/streamer years. Ame made a lot of good memories, and left her mark.
A lot of us hoped she was joining the EN branch staff. A lot of us hope that it's not something medically or want to believe she's going on to bigger, better things.
...but I think we all need to come to terms with the possibility that Ame might just be tired of streaming. She's worked her cap off for 4 years. I think she might want a break now, and that's totally okay.
Tbh she's likelly just gonna have a child imo
Solo va participar en algunos proyectos no va ser parte del staff hay que respetar su vida privada
@@LeNathDuNet funnily enough that was one of the first things I thought of too. Because I didn't have the immediate thought of her becoming staff and then the fact that she has completely nixed that idea... it seems more likely.
I feel like she is tired of streaming but not tired of hololive so she will stop streaming but not stop hololive
the way i see it is ame will plan and make events for EN and maybe partake as a presentator for said events
The events planning and drafting maybe take too much time so i think with her personality she's beginning to see streaming and studio recording as a hindrance
Maybe this is huge copium but i prefere to be optimistic
I was there...4 years ago...We saw everything, but it's running out...
Same man, I still remmeber Coco jumpstarting the whole branch, and its now 4 generations strong
Still though Ame...
Time flies so fast, we just finished watching holoMyth's anniversary stream a few days ago and Ame had to stop streaming, this is so sad 😢
At least the fact that she's still in hololive to support everyone is a comfort to us. Thanks Ame for the 4 amazing years, she will always be the funniest and cutest Gremlin detective
Chiku Taku.... where'd the time go....
A really interesting facet of the emergence of VTubers culturally is how often the public experiences shared grief. We are collectively experiencing loss every time a talent graduates. Normally, this is something people experience in isolation or with a few people they know intimately. With graduation, we get to share that grief with the entire community. We also get a chance to say goodbye.
I think grief is a healthy emotion to experience, and I'm glad that we get the opportunity to experience it in a circumstance where the person we lose gets to go on living a healthy and happy life.
I think we'll all miss the little gremlin.
She was one of my favorites.
Gonna miss seeing her, but I hope she is happy in her future.
She's moving on with her life, whatever may happen going forward is her business.
Its also kinda sad since she was one of the few hololive members to work with tempest when they started. Really respected her for that
with what?
@@dingusuhumholostars en
Nobody delivers tough news like Calli. She's a pro at handling hard stuff perfectly and really meeting the moment with everyone.
It’s gonna feel different without ame streaming, myth lives on
its going to be fine and gonna be different but it will be fine.

Now she's gone!
Give me some sunshine! give me some rain! Give me another chance! I want to grow up once again!
I want to repeat the previous 4 years with her again. Her GTA streams and her movie watchalongs always entertained me.
Watching her improve her singing and Idol performance lifted and moved my heart.
I'll miss that Gamer Gremlin.

Man, ame will be dearly missed. You are a beautiful human ,ame and i genuinely hope the best for you and your journey through life.

how fitting, the reaper talks serenely about the end!
we'll miss ya, ame!!!
Please don't give up streaming. 😢 I hope I can still watch the person behind Amelia. She's too fun to hang out with.
I knew they would all graduate one day, but even seeing it coming doesn't prepare me for the sadness I feel.
Godspeed to where ever she goes, I hope she keeps doing things the Ame way.
I still remember her first stream was “super liminal “. Looking back really impacted me and others 😢 I’m going to miss Ame for real.
This isn't too surprising for anyone who keeps up with her. For a while now, it's really seemed like she's been way more into the creative side of things, so having Ame transition to a more creative production-type job VS a streamer actually seems like a very ON-BRAND move for her.
I'll definitely miss her streams, but she'll still be there ❤🔍❤
Unfortunately she will not be staff, her comment stated as such.
@@wolterbalthazar5739 then wtf is she i don't understand shit. a lot of corpo yapping
@@wolterbalthazar5739 Can still mean she can be affiliated with Hololive like other contractors who worked on Hololive behind the scene.
It's probably just me but Ame has always kind of been, at arms length with her community it's a big contrast watching her as compared to watching Gura or Kiara. I think sometimes the girls can get a little creeped out by their own fanbase (best example I can think of this is Nyanners recent model changes) which I understand, Ame always struck me as more of a tech support/higher tier computer nerd than a common anime weeb find with making butt and feet jokes all day.
She recently said she upgraded her streaming setup. I'd wager we'll see her on her PL
Watching the concerts without Ame will hurt. ReUnion, Show Goes On, Journey Like a Thousand Years; watching all of those with only four members will hurt, but we gotta respect her decision.
Nothing comes out of nowhere, and remember she didn’t say she’ll be graduating, just “terminating social media activities and remain in Hololive for some projects”, so even if we don’t get to see her streams anymore, her funny noises during collabs and her voice during singing, she’ll still be there, cheering for her genmates behind the curtains.
Remember what she said during The Show Goes On, they’ll all be friends forever, and just like Calli said: Myth will always be five
Yeah, that is how I read that as well. It doesn't talk about graduating, at talks about terminating activities and staying affiliate. So there will still be some gremlin somewhere in the background.
so basically she a staff i kinda confuse
@@FakhriIkhwanda she’s not becoming staff. What’s happening is: she won’t be livestreaming or participating in concerts anymore, BUT she won’t be fully graduated.
When a talent graduates, they stop being affiliated to Hololive/Cover Corp, but Ame will STILL be affiliated to the company and will participate in some projects sometimes. What i saw that i think it’s most possible is that she’ll continue to appear in those official short animations posted on Hololive’s channel and the character Watson Amelia will continue to be used for merch such as voicepacks, figures and other merchandise
I dunno if this is the correct, but Ame isn’t graduating, she’s stepping behind the curtains
@@HappyBeezerStudios yeah, and it honestly makes me happy. The fact she wanted to terminate the streams and concerts (most probably due to tiredness) but still wanted to be a part of the company and Myth shows that she truly loves her genmates and doesn’t want to “go away”

Man i can't wait to be seventy and pull up ame vod on my death bed if the internet still exist
She's not frozen in time. She's jumping around from time to time now.
Don’t hog all the cope, pass some over here.
What a contrast you can tell they are not only genmates but close friends
That's to be expected after the things they went through together. Myth were basically on their own during the beginning, with the pandemic/lockdown preventing them from receiving much support from Cover. So they had to rely heavily on each other and Ame was their main tech support for a long time. I don't know if Myth would have made it through as well as they did without her, even as amazing as every one of the girls are.
😭 calli i can feel your pain, and you are so brave to talk about it, it is really sad to see ame go but i'll still see myth as a group of five ❤
My heart dropped when I heard this. But yours and Ame's words of encouragement (plus you talking about sweet nothings) really helped calm me down. Thanks for always being you and I'm glad that you two will share a friendship that will transcend time itself ❤
Thank you for being you
I hope ame has the best where ever she goes, I just really enjoyed her streams when I was able to catch them, I know this is a huge blow to the entire EN side of things.
The only positive about this situation, Ame is and will be still a part of Hololive, even her activitis are stopped. That dosen't mean she can't go back one day. Like Uto, she came back after one year.
Translation: she's gone part-time because she wants to do other things besides vtuber stuff. This makes so much sense. Cover wouldn't want to graduate her if she can come back from time to time.
Eh, you don't have to do that if you don't want to. As is Myth had multiple people going months without streams, so it's not like they need to officially quit in order to take 3-month-long vacays. Hell, there's the whole Nakirium phenomenon... I'd say that's also why it doesn't surprise me, it was clear for a while (years?) that Ame's heart really wasn't in doing the grinding out daily streams thing anymore.

@@zeriel9148 Who can blame them. They've been living the lives of world wide idols for four years straight. It doesn't leave them much time for their lives. I think she just wants to live her own life instead.
@@zeriel9148 Haachama is also0o an example as she spent almost a whole year off due to illness.
Although Ame has always announced it, it must be said that she already worked on things at home, talents within Hololive, so on one hand it is really good for her because this way she concentrates more on things she wants to do and to continue supporting the same as a fan of Myth that I am, Ame forever and the rest of the community continue supporting your oshis :)
Thank you for everything Ame *o7*
At least we can see her here and there sometimes
The sad part Gonathan will never gonna recover from this 😭😭
It's more painful for the Teamates who has been following Ame for 4 years straight from the start. For them, Ame is a shining beacon of happiness that started during the pandemic. All her karaoke streams were fun as heck, oozing with her personality. Every Ame variant made them laugh and smile to no end. And her voice is just the sound of family for them.
I know, I'm one of those Teamates.
Amelia stood with us for 4 years.
And we liked her journey of being herself
But there's always be a end of a journey.
Someone said "Vtubers have a lifespan of 4 years, be happy while they are here."
Thank you Watson
Tbh I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. It was pretty clear that Ame likes being behind the scenes more than anything else, considering all the support she gives to other members. I always figured she'd stop streaming and work for Hololive in a different capacity instead.
She's not working for hololive, she can just return and do streams when it gets planned ahead of time.
Honestly, I think she made it that way so she would have a choice to come back in a full time capacity without issue. She's young, I expect her to come back within a year full-time once she sees all the money dry up & how hard it is in today's market 😂
I have been dreading the moment when we lost one of the OG girls. Ame will always be part of the core of Vtubing's expansion into the West!
I think Ame just doesn't want to stream anymore or having a feeling of being oblige to stream since she's a part of hololive, if i remember correctly its part of their contract to stream twice a week, but cover let them take long breaks which probably made her feel guilty about it, so she probably thought it's best to put an end to this and does the ame way, which is no more streaming but still an idol and still be a part of hololive, it's very interesting because this is the first time this happened in vtuber community, so let see and hope Ame for the best
I've never seen Ame get into "her" character quite as much as the other four, she seemed to have the most established wall up between personal life and vtuber persona always seemed to be working on something bigger and not quite satisfied with where she wound up. The fact they kept her on as affiliate makes me think she wants to try and spread her wings with this moderate success and make one last attempt at the IRL world and making money there. Ame reminds me of a lot of people I watched after graduating art school as they realize the nature and reality of being a creative for business sense as opposed to just trying to see what amazing things you can achieve on your own. I think she's more at odds with the way her life turned out as opposed to what she envisioned or maybe when she still thinks she can segue into from her time at Cover. The good thing about this kind of creative is they either find their real dream on their own or collapse and have a mental episode before accepting who they are now. She might be back the fact she didn't "graduate" means it's not a concrete decision, to the point even a huge professional Japanese company can see it.
I think that "stream twice a week" point only matters for your first year. Gura, Mel, and Ayame have taken significant breaks between streams. Ame herself has taken extended breaks.
They've basically paid for themselves after the first year at any rate. Also Ame just upgraded her stream setup.. I have a feeling we could see her return to her PL.
Ame has done so much not just for hololive but for vtuber community in general. This is a fitting way to put down her huge legacy as one of the few big names in vtubing. Still tho.... AMEEEEEEE!!!!
"im trying to choose my words carefully so i dont lose my job" gotcha
Amelia was such a big driver of group content and streams. She brought everyone together in a very special and unique way. From the 3d studio to the spelling bee Ame has always been an innovator and a great asset to hololive. I'm gonna miss the charm only she could bring to stream a lot if im honest. As a fan I want to be selfish and keep these moments going forever but things change and so do people. I hope she knows we really truly appreciated everything she has done for the community, and that we'll always cheer her on wherever she goes and when she pops in for whatever in the future!
I can already hear the feelings of tears welling up in her voice. She’s truly strong and great lady to her fans and Gen mates.
This years are a emperor damn times, We stand, we hold
４年間ありがとうアメちゃん🫡
悲しいですが、あなたは本当の神話になって皆の記憶に残り続けることでしょう
I got into hololive 2 months ago, and this is the second graduation.
I shouldve chosen a different time to get interested, god damn it
I got into Hololive around 2021 I think. So I had no idea about Rushia's termination until the memes and clips informed me about it.
I got it around 2020 and let me tell you... it wasn't that much better, one of the members with the most potential in gen 5 graduating in a few weeks on my birthday, the entire china-Taiwan controversy debacle that made one of the most OG members (Coco) to graduate, and the entire CN branch to be dropped (thank god tbh)... and that's just the "highlights" of that year...
I got into hololive around 2017 the first gen. i see aloe,coco,all holo CN,rushia,sana,mel,a-chan,aqua and now ame grad/term. its feel bad watching them gone. but as fans,we need support them. ohh almost forget Chris too (well this one is forbidden to talk about)
2020 is peak
the way they all support each other is so inspiring to me
The amelia gosling hologram meme is becoming real
The one SHE made?
Maybe she will become seiyuu of ame instead of ame the streamer from now on, idk, but the fact that shes not fully graduated is a proof enough that she loves hololive and her genmates
Some of the girls are quite young. And things change with time. Age comes and possibilities start to appear and disappear. Maybe health, maybe love, maybe tiredness, maybe her own business. All things can happen. She is quite an awesome talent, and i think her own ethic doesn't allow for much uncertainty in some things. Thing is, she needs to do what is best. Even if not good, some things are the only possible outcome to try and move on. An her legacy is there, and it is unquestionable.
Godspeed, Ame. I hope she finds success in whatever she does in the future.
Why do I feel like Ame is just gonna make a new EN branch that requires her and her new genmates go around doing wacky, zany and potentially dangerous adventures?
That would be wild, but we should wait to see where the cards will lay y’know?
Calli worded this fantastic. No matter who your oshi(s) are, they will be graduating one day. Ame has done so much for the vtubing scene, especially behind the scenes over the years it's crazy. While she won't be in the spotlight or a member of staff, she can still make appearances and her spirit is still very much there. Wishing nothing but the best on her new adventures
Thank you Ame for 4 years we will miss you
Myth has always been super special to me even if I haven't watched as many of the streams as I feel like I should have. Seeing what they have been through and how close they all are to each other always brightened my day and put a bit of a song in my heart. Going to be sad to see Ame step back and I do wish her all the best.
hope gooba can recover from this
We're not okay Calli, at least me is definitely not
"When you zoom out, you can see that there are all these branching paths and not all of us are headed down the same one" this is so clean said
With respect to all v-tubers, I also agree that Ame really has the potential to go further than what she's doing right now.
What was she planning on doing next?
@@CaptainVenusauryour mom, probably
(Sorry im still trying to cope)
@@CaptainVenusaur I suspect that she might have a role in management of hololive after this.
@@anonymousentity5106 that's so Ame's thing to say 😂😂 man......we will miss her. 😊
Ame company- who better
The pit of my stomach is heavy and my eyes burn. Truly I wish her all the best.
Original founding en members don’t graduate, they just go on hiatus
Halo coping BS....🤣 Spartan Never Dies...they just MIA
Anytime someone suddenly graduates, my thoughts always immediately go to "I hope their/their loved ones health haven't taken a turn for the worse!".
Because that's always my greatest concern.
I hope she's safe, healthy and that her loved ones are too, and that this is 100% just a lifestyle change she has decided on
As heartbreaking as this is, I’m truly not surprised. It’s been very apparent for some time she’s become something like the A-Chan of HoloEN…. Well not exactly since she’s of course not JP fluent. But she has been involved in a lot of behind the scenes expansion so we’ve seen this coming. Still, very heartbreaking I’ll miss our favorite gremlins screeches and million models.
Edit: was incorrect on assuming she’d be like a behind the scenes staff. But I remember hearing from past streams how she’s always been very involved behind the scenes and logistics wise was something like the glue and support for all of myth. Either way, truly a sad day knowing we won’t get future amesame content that’s brought us joy these past 4 years 😭 💙 💛
It's unclear. She's not quite an A-chan, because she said she's not becoming staff.
But I don't really know what else there is, besides being telent or being staff.
Hopefully Ame can explain a bit more what her relationship with the company will be from next month.
Nope, she clarified on her Twitter she's sadly not moving into a staff, she will however still make guest appearances when need be going forward.
@@OriginalPiMan my assumption is that she will still be affiliated in the sense that she can show up to events and other holomember's streams when she wants and even stream on her own if she so chooses and that the graduation is effectively just a way to put less pressure on her professionally
@@alexpiatt1282 that makes sense since for the first time they’re not using the word graduating, which is quite interesting. We’ll just see what she says in her upcoming stream.
I’m guessing she is just going to be doing guest appearances for events, maybe host them. Which is technically not staff and not graduating.
The investigator extraordinaire is off to chase new cases, may the eldritch friends she made along the way forever bless her.
The Myths have outlived their human gal pal. Nobody liked that. 😢
Calli deserves a big hug, poor girl.
my heart sinks so low upon hearing the news
My heart is broken...
"She is not becoming staff."
That...that cut me real deep; deeper than I expected. Okay, now I'm panicking. Or rather, I'm just a mess.
Myth will be always the beginning of ame successful...💛
I cannot blame Calli. The longer you mingle with a coworker that vibes with you, the harder it hits you when they plan to resign. I will need a week or two to recover.
I wonder if they're going to be making the membership streams public? Because man I feel sorry for her fans because only 10 days notice that is crazy.
The lumps in my throat are unreal. Thank you for all the Grind Ame
If Calli graduated I'd stop watching Hololive all together.
Won't be happening anytime soon so you may breathe a sigh of relief.
What? No only Calli, Hololive still have Subaru, Miko, Mumei, Fuwamoco, Towa, etc
She's the star of hololive EN her projects I don't see her graduating so soon
Not gonna lie... she is the one who is most likely to graduate in her generation now...
@tribopower Calli has signed what is likely a long term contract with Sony Music (or some other music label, I forgot). She won't be leaving anytime soon unless she has severe health problems.
Ame going on her own path is truly AME WAY. It is sad, but we must wish her the best!
At least Ame isn't graduating?
She probably would appear in some big events like concert etc. probably... 😢
she's a guest now
Yeah. She technically isn't graduating. She'll just be working behind the scenes.
technically she is graduate as vtuber
Technically, they are retiring her jersey.
How I see this:
- They part on good terms
- Myth is too legendary of an IP to fully graduate ame, so cover lets her do whatever she wants
- Let me cope
I think it's MORE than just coping. This ACTUALLY kind of makes sense. Once again, this feels like Cover trying to be innovative in the VTuber space and trying something that MIGHT even become the new Meta for Corporate Vtubing.
I think it's MORE of a "contract renegotiation" than a "parting" though. I think she's going to just be working less full time for the company, but they're CALLING that "behind the scenes" to maintain an image.
@@yeshevishman thank u for enforcing the cope in my head bruv
I didn't mind if Ame's on her own adventures (Or possibly an indefinite hiatus) as long as the Myth tries to remain five. Let's not jump to conclusions despite the sudden shock that happened today. Let Ame do all the talking every stream.
Alright, teamates?
