Anycolor Accidentally Trashed Fan Mail for Suzuya Aki

Anycolor has asked people who sent in fan letters to former Nijisanji talent, Suzuya Aki, to send them in once again, as the company accidentally threw them out. The company did not realize this mistake until the person behind Suzuya Aki said he never received them.

In the full Tweet, Anycolor states that it tossed out all the Suzuya Aki fan letters that had been sent between February 1 and late September 2024. According to an investigation, staff accidentally tossed them while cleaning out the office at the end of December 2024. It did not lose any fan letters for other livers this way.

Anycolor acknowledges how important fan letters are for talents, and especially for VTubers who are no longer in the industry. It deeply apologizes for this incident, and will rework its internal process for handling fan letters. For example, it will make digital copies of letters after receiving them. It appears that Anycolor has fired, or at least punished, the staff who made the mistake.

Suzuya Aki was one of the first generation of Nijisanji talents, debuting back in 2018. He announced his graduation on July 22, 2024, with his last day being August 31, 2024. At the time of his announcement, he had over 158,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Anycolor is accepting fan letters for Suzuya Aki again, and people will have until May 31, 2025 to send them in.
