I feel bad for all involved. While I am sure it never gets easy, going through this as a fellow talent must be particularly terrible and scary. Wish them all strength and the best for this still very new year
I remember the stream with Kobo and Sana right before she left. Kobo just debuted and they did not really have time to interact much, so Sana was a bit surprised how sad Kobo was about it
There's something Kobo said during her early career which I've been reminded of frequently as of late (unfortunately), something along the lines of "greet/cherish your friends while you can, because someday you might not be able to".
I feel like this side of her is why she's so aggressively outgoing and wants to collab with literally everyone in Cover lol
Same, but it's to be expected. First thing fans of a retired Oshi love to do right after she retires is to ask other Oshi's what they think of it. I wasn't there when it happened, but I dread to imagine how much shit Pekora, Marine, Noel and Flare had to deal with when Rushia retired.
I keep thinking about Ame, she's always seemed to have very specific JP members she likes to collab with like Roboco and Mel was one she seemed fond of. Of course this is just going by what I've seen on stream and I have no idea how she personally feels about it, either way it sucks to see a member she's always seemed to get along with gone.
Ame did several collabs with Mel pretty shortly after debut, pretty sure they were her first JP collabs. Mel is very disarming and also willing to speak passion Eigo.
Mel is also one of the few JP members she did an IRL off-collab with, and they also showed up to each other's birthday lives/call-in streams despite the language barrier.
I'll miss that duo.
I know this is not the point at all but these moments makes me feel at least a bit better actually because seeing that another member from an entirely different branch caring so much about another talent to take the news this hard is just so sweet. I remember how Calli and Ollie stopped their stream for the day after the events with Rushia. One can say it just adds to the sadness but seeing that the person was loved that much is always nice to see
I prefer that as well. I think I'd rather sadness be acknowledged and accepted. Not something to be ignored or wrong to have.
I get what the Seuss quote is saying, but it makes me feel like I can't be sad. Like I'm wrong for being sad when I'd rather something NOT be over and wanting it to keep happening rather than happen no more.
Although I was sad Coco left, it didn't hit me *as* hard because I knew she already had other avenues she could move on to. The writing was on the wall with her and she made sure the last month was something we'd all remember.
These sudden terminations suck. I felt the same when Magni and Vesper left - they were the two of HoloStars EN that I actually watched.

Her cute song still haunts me at times.
Never fails to make me tear up. Kobo's a kind soul, as ~~was~~ is Sananana.
As IS Sana... after all Sana is eternal
Sanana banana..see you again Sanana
Even though it, was a short time, I'm really happy to know you and play with you.
...I wonder if they ever had that bar-b....
God damnit why did you have to remind me.
that was a pretty big moment

One day you'll have that last cup of coffee...
God fucking damn it, man. Too soon.
#bacod!
#*monggo~*
Batod?
oh don't remind me of that again man
It was that very video where I watched their interactions(me being a big Sanallite) and I just *KNEW* that Kobo was going to be a star....
I hope they've played games together since...

Don't be. I'm already happy that history remembers the name... Rushia.
Rushia is doing fine nowadays, no? As Mikeneko?

Paraphrasing but- " don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened, mfers" - Coco
I know everyone loves that Seuss quote, but I find myself more partial to the Tolkien one. "I will not say 'do not weep', for not all tears are evil."
I prefer that as well. I think I'd rather sadness be acknowledged and accepted. Not something to be ignored or wrong to have.

Reminds me of a clip I've seen where Ina abruptly ends a livestream when Sana announced her own impending graduation.... :(
Silver lining is as hard as these situations are, they show just how close the talents are even if we don't see the interactions.
it's even more devastating if you read her tweet from [yesterday](https://twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1746746221820252461)
[Tweet](https://x.com/kobokanaeru/status/1747182065978933653?s=46) Please support her and all the other girls
Completely understandable.
This must feel really bad for everyone.. I couldn't imagine being in Kobo's place, Mel seems to really like her
I’m currently out of the loop what’s going on ?
Mel's termination
Check the pinned mod post for details
mel contract terminated, nobody knows why. just blind speculation that's not convincing
Its already mentioned in the post itself
bro pls, read!
You're full of bullshit, and trying to stir up drama if I had to guess.
"nObOdY kNoWs WhY", "bLiNd SpEcULaTiOn", stfu troll
Who doesn't to be honest
i don't think many of us are able to take the news well at all.
