Holostars Official Account Silent on 7th Anniversary as Group Downsizes
The official silence on the anniversary signals that the group's downsizing, announced in April, has effectively ended centralized operations, leaving individual talents and external partners to carry the milestone.

Holostars, the male VTuber group under Cover Corporation, marked its 7th anniversary on June 3 with no celebratory post from its official X account, following an April announcement that company-led group activities would end and support would be reduced. Half of the members are leaving by July. The indie game 'NINJA CATS: Tactics', which features all Holostars talents, posted a congratulatory message instead.
Holostars turned 7 on June 3, but the group's official X account did not post a celebratory message. The silence follows an April 3 decision by Cover Corporation to end company-led group activities, restrict studio use, merchandise sales, and original song releases, and shift talents to primarily individual work. By May 26, six members-Hanasaki Miyabi, Kishido Temma, Rikka, Arurandeisu, Minase Rio, and Kageyama Shien-announced they would end streaming activities, with half the roster departing by July. The account has not updated since May 29.
Individual talents celebrated the anniversary themselves. Kanade Izuru noted the official account is inactive. Astel Leda jokingly demanded management rights to the account. Arakami Ouga said in a June 3 stream that he expects no further updates and advised fans to follow only the talents.
The indie game 'NINJA CATS: Tactics', which features all Holostars members as voice actors, posted a message thanking them for their participation and wishing them well. The community account of 'DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FINAL FANTASY' also shared a celebratory post. Hololive talent Shirakami Fubuki sent congratulations from her sub-account.
