The VTubing community faced a bombshell at the beginning of the new year when news broke that Yozora Mel, a key figure in Hololive, had been given the boot for crossing the line on her contractual commitments.
Cover Corporation took to its website to announce that the VTuber has been engaging with third parties, a breach of trust that led to her removal from the organization. They wrote:
"It has been confirmed that Yozora Mel has been engaging in acts that violated her contract by leaking information that she acquired from the company to third parties. As a result, we have determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her..."
The streamer subsequently shared a farewell message with her fans on X. Originally written in Japanese, it was translated into English by devoted r/Hololive users on Reddit. She wrote:
"To everyone, I sincerely apologize for causing anxiety and discomfort to many people due to this incident. I deeply regret my careless actions."
She added:
"I had a dream that I wanted to make come true with all the Kapumin. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. But that doesn't mean the memories I have with Kapumin and Holomen will disappear. I will never forget this. I'm always watching over everyone. I love you forever. Thank you for what you have done. And I'm really sorry."

Yozora's latest post on X was quickly shared on the r/Hololive subreddit, which garnered a lot of reactions. Here are some of the top ones:
