Fans of Yugiri High School were about to enjoy their favorite VTubers’ first major festival, but plans collapsed just two days before the event. Company viviON announced the cancellation of the group’s virtual festival after indefinitely suspending Amarasu Terasu, one of its five members. To make matters worse, the decision came shortly after the girls themselves spoke publicly about the problems they had faced with their management.

The festival was scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 2, 2026 via the official YouTube channel. It was the first major joint activity since the channel’s launch, with musical performances, special videos, and different activities prepared by the five members.

However, on October 28, viviON announced that Amarasu Terasu would be suspended indefinitely while the company investigated various statements and behaviors recorded during her streams. The company explained that it needed to verify the facts and could not provide further details due to contractual issues.

As part of the measures, the agency also hid a stream file from that same day and asked users to avoid sharing clips of her content. To date, no specific statements that prompted the suspension have been publicly disclosed, nor has a return date for the VTuber been announced.

What caught fans’ attention was that just days earlier, the five members had spoken about the difficulties they faced during their debut preparations. On October 24, they participated in a stream where they questioned the lack of support and organization they allegedly experienced under their previous producer.

Among the situations mentioned were projects that did not progress as expected, difficulties in organizing joint activities, and the feeling of having to resolve various work aspects on their own. They also acknowledged that some conditions had begun to improve with administrative changes.

For this reason, Amarasu’s suspension sparked new criticism against viviON. Some fans suspected the decision might be related to the statements about the company’s internal problems. However, this connection has not been confirmed, and the company has not publicly identified which comments it considers problematic.

On October 29, the second blow arrived. The administration explained that the festival had been specifically prepared to include all five members and that without Amarasu, they could not offer the event as promised. Therefore, they decided to cancel it entirely and apologized to those awaiting the activities.

The controversy is even more delicate because Yugiri High School is a sister group to Aogiri High School, another VTuber group managed by the same company that recently also faced organizational issues.

In September, Chiyoura Chomi’s anniversary concert had to be postponed just two days before its celebration. Later, the company acknowledged various administrative failures and announced an internal reorganization. As part of that process, it also canceled an Aogiri High School music festival scheduled for December.

Thus, two groups from the same company lost major events in just weeks. While viviON claims it is working to improve its talents’ conditions, Yugiri High School fans continue waiting for clearer explanations about Amarasu Terasu’s future and the group’s activities.

Do you think viviON did the right thing in canceling the festival rather than proceeding without one of its members, or should it have found a way to hold it with the other four VTubers?
