Murasaki Shion of hololive will graduate from the agency on April 26, 2025. Her membership and exclusive member content will remain on YouTube until July 26, 2025.
On her X (formerly Twitter) account, Shion made a post about her upcoming graduation. She thanks everyone for supporting her for the past six and a half years, and that this is something she’s thought about for several years now. After stating that her graduation stream will take place on April 26, 2025, she stated that she wants to make a lot of memories with everyone before that date, and that she hopes everyone will continue to support her until then.
Shion also uploaded a very short video and stream where she announces that she’ll graduate. During the stream, she sounds like she’s fighting back tears. Though she doesn’t give any details, she states that she’s leaving Cover due to creative decisions between her and Cover. This has been an ongoing problem for a long time now, and her work stress had a very negative effect on her physical and mental health. Though she took several breaks to manage this, they didn’t help and she continued to feel the divide between Cover as it is now versus Cover when she joined in 2018.
As a reaction to the departure (as well as others), Yagoo, the CEO of Cover Corp, took to X to discuss Shion’s graduation. He states that he’s as lonely as everyone about these graduations, and that Cover supports its talents from all angles so they can focus on their job without any worries. However, he admits that Cover’s not perfect, and that he will arrange to directly speak with talents to see where Cover can continue to improve.
