The withdrawal removes one of hololive 3rd generation's best-known performers from a staged concert two months out, and the agency is framing it as a medical decision made with her rather than a scheduling change.

Houshou Marine will withdraw from hololive RECORDS MUSIC STAGE 2027, the January 10, 2027 event, to concentrate on treatment for vocal cord nodules. The hololive production official X account said repeated discussions were held with her, and it was judged difficult for her to perform in top condition. Tsunomaki Watame will appear on DAY2. In a handwritten message, Houshou apologized and said she will recover and get in top shape for the next stage.
The announcement came from the hololive production official X account, which paired the withdrawal notice with word that Tsunomaki Watame will take the DAY2 slot. The agency's stated reason is treatment for vocal cord nodules, not a scheduling conflict. It said discussions with Houshou Marine were held repeatedly, including about the condition of her throat, before the decision that performing in top condition would be difficult.
Houshou addressed the withdrawal herself in a handwritten message posted to her account, apologizing for declining the performance and saying she wanted to see everyone in person. Her stated priority now is recovery. Fan replies under the report centered on her health rather than the lineup change.
