Anycolor announced the first anniversary celebrations for the Nijisanji English Denauth generation, however Vtuber Twisty Amanozako still seems absent. While the performer appears in merchandise alongside fellow Klara Charmwood and Ryoma Barrenwort, who are both active and issued statements in honor of the occasion, hasn’t really been active since she appeared for her birthday in January 2025. Update: She will stream with her fellow generation mates on May 24, 2025, and a placeholder is live for the 2am ET stream.

First, here is Klara’s statement for the anniversary of the Denauth generation. She streamed Kiosk earlier on May 21, 2025, and she’ll stream Get A Midnight Snack Without Mum Knowing at 8pm PT/11pm ET on May 21, 2025. 

Next, here is the Ryoma Barrenwort Denauth anniversary message. He played MTG Arena on May 18, 2025. While he shared a schedule on social media on May 13, 2025, he hasn’t shared an updated one for the week of May 19, 2025 yet.

Both Klara and Ryoma mentioned Twisty in their messages. 

As for the Denauth anniversary merchandise, that is available in the Nijisanji EN Official Store now. That consists of $3.79 hologram badges, a $4.55 photo-style card set, $6.82 acrylic keychains, $12.12 acrylic stands, and a $22.73 snapshot card holder. 

Here's how those look:

Back in December 2024, Nijisanji Vtuber Twisty Amanozako announced she would take an indefinite hiatus. She did break that for her birthday in January 2025, during which the performer streamed. There have been no posts on her social media since January 2025, and there are no streams scheduled on her YouTube channel.

Twisty Amanozako’s absence isn’t the only one without any updates, as Anycolor didn’t share any details about the disappearance of Nijisanji English Vtuber Aster Arcadia. He does have a placeholder video on his YouTube channel, which now got bumped back to July 24, 2025 as of time of writing. Alongside his disappearance, Anycolor also announced a sexual harassment investigation in December 2024, the results of which haven’t appeared yet.

Anycolor and Twisty Amanozako have yet to announce the return of the Nijisanji English Vtuber.

The official social media for Hatsune Miku and the Crypton and Piapro Vocaloids confirmed that Kagamine Len “performed” alongside Nijisanji English LazuLight Vtubers during the fourth anniversary 3D concert livestream. While the photo showed the Vocaloid’s model with both of the performers, only Elira performed the noripy song “Migikata no Chou” with the character. The Vocaloid only appeared for a single song during the presentation.

Here’s the full LazuLight 3D concert with the Nijisanji English Vtubers Finana Ryugu and Elira Pendora, and Kagamine Len appeared at the 33:27 mark. 

This isn’t the first time a Crypton and Piapro Vocaloid sang with Nijisanji English Vtubers. Hatsune Miku was the first. She performed alongside Ike Eveland back in July 2024. However, now that he graduated from the company in April 2025, that official video performance is gone.

In addition to the concert that appeared on Elira Pendora’s channel, a fourth anniversary LazuLight stream appeared on the YouTube channel for Finana Ryugu. You can watch that stream with the two of them below.

As a reminder, LazuLight was the first Nijisanji English branch of Vtubers, and it featured Pomu Rainpuff, Finana, and Elira. Pomu graduated from the company back in January 2024.

Ike Eveland, a Nijisanji English branch VTuber, graduated from Anycolor's company on April 30, 2025. Fans will have until May 30, 2025 to send in their fan letters to him.

The graduation announcement appeared on the Nijisanji social media , thanking him for his hard work since he debuted in December 2021. In the statement, Anycolor also discouraged fans from asking other livers either on social media or during streams for details about Ike’s departure. It said people should the company instead.

Here's the full statement from Anycolor:

On his social media , Ike also wrote a more detailed statement about his graduation. He said that he faced many personal challenges over the years, with mental health being a significant factor, which caused his numerous absences. After a “great deal of reflection,” he decided to step away from the online space. He reiterates that this was not a decision that he made likely, and thanks everyone for their understanding. Ike also thanks his viewers, Nijisanji, his fans, and TCB, who designed his avatar.

Here's Ike's statement:

Ike Eveland debuted as Luxiem, Nijisanji EN’s first all-male unit. Others who debuted during this generation are Luca Kaneshiro, Shu Yamino, Mysta Rias, and Vox Akuma. Mysta graduated back in August 2023, citing burnout as the reason for his departure.

As of April 30, 2025, Ike Eveland is no longer a VTuber with Anycolor and Nijisanji EN. All the videos on his YouTube channel are already private. As of the time of his graduation, he had over 952,000 subscribers.

Fulgur Ovid, a Nijisanji English Vtuber part of Anycolor’s Noctyx wave, announced he will graduate from the company on May 5, 2025. He is the second member of this generation to graduate, as Yugo Asuma graduated on December 14, 2022. While final schedules aren’t available yet, we do know other details about the lead up to the date the Nijisanji liver will graduate.

During an announcement stream, Fulgur Ovid went over some of the reasons for decision to graduate from Nijisanji English. He cited he is leaving Anycolor on good , and noted others at the company and other livers in Noctyx knew he would graduate for a while now. He said there are certain goals he’d like to accomplish that can’t happen here. He also stated he’ll hold a final zatsudan stream on May 5, 2025. 

Here is the full “The Story Has Come to an End, but Life Goes on” stream:

Anycolor followed that by sharing details about days s will shut down and fan mail will stop being accepted. The day after his graduation, his social media s will be made private. So people have until May 6, 2025 to see those. Fan letters will only be accepted until June 5, 2025.

Here is the full statement from Anycolor that appeared on social media:

As part of the graduation announcement, Anycolor also mentioned what will happen to the other Nijisanji English Vtubers who are in Noctyx. They will not be combined with another wave. Instead, the remaining Alban Knox, Sonny Brisko, and Uki Violeta will continue as a trio.

Nijisanji English Vtuber Fulgur Ovid will graduate from Anycolor on May 5, 2025, following performing as a liver with the company for over three years since his February 2022 debut. He will hold one last stream on that date.

Itsuki Sakyo and Hitotsubashi Ayato are two new Japanese Nijisanji Vtubers making their debut this weekend. The new talents will be making their debut as part of the Anycolor Vtuber agency on April 12, 2025.

Sakyo is a super elite salesman who boasts the top performance at the Happy Love It company, which is also commonly known by the nickname of “hapirabi” (はぴらび in Japanese.) Despite his quiet and unapproachable exterior, he adores the company's products. As for Hitotsubashi, he is a super elite psychiatrist with many patients under his care. His goal is to communicate daily with his patients about their worries.

Hitotsubashi’s debut stream is set to start on April 12, 2025 at 7pm JST and the livestream will appear on his official YouTube channel. Meanwhile, Itsuki’s first livestream will be held on the same day thirty minutes later, at 7:30pm JST. Likewise, the preview for the stream is now up on his YouTube channel. Hitotsubashi’s stream will last 30 minutes, while Itsuki’s stream doesn’t have an end time. However, as with other debut streams, we can expect it to also last about 30 minutes.

As a reminder, Anycolor recently announced the opening of the first physical Nijisanji store featuring Vtuber merchandise. The store’s opening will be on April 25, 2025, and you can read more about its debut here.

The new Nijisanji Vtubers Hitotsubashi Ayato and Itsuki Sakyo will debut on April 12, 2025 at 7pm and 7:30pm Japan Standard Time, respectively.

Anycolor will open its first physical Nijisanji Nui store with Vtuber merchandise at the Yokohama Vivre. Its grand opening will be on April 25, 2025. So far, only one Japanese location is confirmed for now, according to the official Anycolor press release found at PR Times.

The items you can get at the Nijisanji plush merchandise include designs from the Niji Puppet and Niji-Nui lines of goods. Advance sales of Niji Puppet photo goods will also be available at the store. These acrylic stand keychains and pins feature the dolls of Kanae, Kuzuha, Kenmochi Touya, Tsukino Mito, Hyakumantenbara Salome, and Hoshikawa Sara. If you buy these in advance at the Nijisanji Nui store, you’ll only be able to buy a single item. So if you want more than one, you’ll have to wait until the items appear in the official online shop.

As the Nijisanji Nui store doesn’t have a website yet, it’s hard to say what items will be available at launch. In the photo announcing the grand opening, we can see plush versions of ROF-MAO (Kagami Hayato, Kenmochi Touya, Fuwa Minato, and Kaida Haru) and Ayakaki (Kisara, Kozue Mone, Lunlun, Shiga Riko, and Tamanoi Nana). Like with the photo goods, you’ll likely be able to buy goods other than simply the plushes.

Here's a closer look at the first pieces of Nijisanji Vtuber merchandise Anycolor will be selling at this location.

These sorts of items can be bought online, for those who can't get to Japan or this particular location. Even a Nijisanji English official site is open with both digital and physical types of Vtuber merchandise inspired by performers.

The Nijisanji Nui store will open at Yokohama Vivre from April 25, 2025. This will be a permanent fixture in Japan, unlike other temporary pop-up shops.

Rakuten announced on the official page promoting the Nijisanji NBA promotion and merchandise that English branch Vtuber Reimu Endou is no longer part of it. No explanation appeared for her sudden removal from the collection. However, the company did also promise a general update on the items and art. 

Here is the official announcement from Rakuten on the change, taken from the official site. It confirmed that another person will be pulled in to replace her.

We deeply apologize once again for the change in participating streamers. We kindly ask for your continued for this collaboration. Thank you very much for your understanding.”

Reimu Endou hasn’t shared any update regarding the Nijisanji NBA collab since Rakuten’s announcement. Her most recent post on social media confirmed that she will be streaming Hades as scheduled at 5pm PT/8pm ET on April 3, 2025. This is a continuing streaming series, as she also played it on March 29, 2025. 

As a reminder, the Nijisanji NBA Vtuber project with Japanese and English performers is spread out over three parts, and that’s why only now we’re hearing about Reimu Endou not being part. She wasn’t in the first batch of performers selected to participate in the Rakuten collection. As a refresher, here are the people who were in the first phase.

• Elira Pendora x Minnesota Timberwolves
• Fuwa Minato x Cleveland Cavaliers

• Kotoka Torahime x Portland Trail Blazers
• Luca Kaneshiro x Indiana Pacers
• Sonny Brisko x Utah Jazz
• Vox Akuma x Chicago Bulls

Anycolor posted a PSA and reminder on X (formerly Twitter) to use a specific form if you would like to report negative comments (ones that would count as verbal abuse) you see online. It also asks that people do not go and tell the livers about said comments.

In the statement, Anycolor states that some people may post negative comments and opinions about its talents online. Though Anycolor and the talents take these criticisms seriously, as they can use them to find ways to improve their content, some comments cross the line and border on defamation. If you see such comments on Twitter or YouTube, you can report them using this link here. You can also use this portal to report other incidents, such as impersonation.

Anycolor would like fans to use the above form to report any comments that can constitute as verbal assault, harassment, defamation, or the like. It reminds fans to avoid reporting these comments to the livers, whether it’s through DMs or in comments. The livers would like to see comments and messages that them and their work, as these encourage them in their activities.

In the past, Anycolor has teamed up with other VTuber companies like Cover to combat defamation or harassment against its livers. Anycolor has also pursued legal action when it comes to protecting its livers from online harassment.

The new wave will feature Ars Almal, Debidebi Debiru, Nui Sociere, and Rindou Mikoto.

Just like the previous waves, the new Nijisanji crossover content will be mostly available via the AC Scratch Ticket titled "Virtual Liver Style '25." The lineup will contain avatar parts and background decorations, as well as Dakimakura weapon camos themed after the aforementioned Livers. All players of PSO2: New Genesis can also get autograph stickers and placable posters via daily bonuses.

Near the end of the program, Sega revealed a new crossover with That Time I Get Reincarnated as a Slime that will launch in May 2025. This title will thus fill the second "anime based on light novel" slot for April-May 2025 after A Certain Magical Index III in the early 2025 roap.

The Japanese press release added that Anycolor and Cover will also utilize the two gigantic screens inside the Es Con Field to showcase the Vtubers. In addition, the companies will place LEDs on the actual baseball field's bases that can also project the Vtubers on the spot.

A new generation of Nijisanji English Vtubers has been teased at Nijifes, featuring what appears to be a lineup of 4 male Livers. The official Nijisanji EN Twitter also posted a preview video showing the silhouettes of the new and promising a new debut "soon".

While details are light on this new generation, the promo video does give us a look at their silhouettes as well as a short cut of each member's upper face and hair. They follow Denauth, the previous Niji EN generation, who debuted back in May, 2024, and consisted of Twisty Amanozako, Ryoma Barrenwort, and Klara Charmwood.

The announcement came during Nijifes 2025, a multi-day convention celebrating the agency's 7th anniversary featuring live performances by Nijisanji Livers. Some of the performances are available to watch for free on Youtube and NicoVideo.

You can watch the preview video via the tweet below:

The 7th Nijisanji Anniversary Festival, or Nijifes, took place from February 21-23, 2025, with AnyColor releasing a slate of info on the event about a month prior. More recently, it emerged that AnyColor had accidentally disposed of fan letters intended for the now-retired Liver Suzuya Aki.

There is currently no date for the debut of the new Nijisanji EN generation.

Anycolor pushed back the next stream of Nijisanji English Vtuber Aster Arcadia yet again, following initial an initial delay of the December 2024 stream to January 2025. There [Thanks, RatedXrdStrive on Reddit!]

The initial delay of this next scheduled Aster Arcadia stream came after Anycolor announced on the Nijisanji English social media that it started a third-party investigation into sexual harassment and leaks at the Vtuber agency. At that point, Aster stopped posting on social media. The “First Cooking Stream and Special Announcement” placeholder on YouTube was then pushed back to December 12, 2024, then to January 30, 2025. 

While there’s been no update on this Vtuber, this isn’t the first time that video’s time and date ended up altered. As further dates came and went, it ended up being pushed forward. The latest date and time for the presentation claims it will air at 8pm PT/11pm ET on March 31, 2025. The comment in the chat has not been updated, so it still features a note from the performer that stated, “I will have to postpone the cooking stream sorry! Missing some stuff ad setup is complicated ahhh! Thanks for your understanding.”

Aster isn’t the only Nijisanji English Vtuber who has been absent as of late. Denauth member Twisty Amanozako announced an indefinite hiatus on December 12, 2024. However, we did see her briefly return for birthday celebrations in January 2025. She is also showing up on the NijiFes 2025 site as making a 2D appearance for meetings at 11am JST on February 22, 2025. Anycolor also showed Aster as potentially making a 2D appearance at 11am JST on February 23, 2025. 

Here are the schedule images highlighting both of them:

Aster Arcadia has been a Vtuber with the Nijisanji English branch since July 2022.

Anycolor has asked people who sent in fan letters to former Nijisanji talent, Suzuya Aki, to send them in once again, as the company accidentally threw them out. The company did not realize this mistake until the person behind Suzuya Aki said he never received them.

In the full Tweet, Anycolor states that it tossed out all the Suzuya Aki fan letters that had been sent between February 1 and late September 2024. According to an investigation, staff accidentally tossed them while cleaning out the office at the end of December 2024. It did not lose any fan letters for other livers this way.

Anycolor acknowledges how important fan letters are for talents, and especially for VTubers who are no longer in the industry. It deeply apologizes for this incident, and will rework its internal process for handling fan letters. For example, it will make digital copies of letters after receiving them. It appears that Anycolor has fired, or at least punished, the staff who made the mistake.

Suzuya Aki was one of the first generation of Nijisanji talents, debuting back in 2018. He announced his graduation on July 22, 2024, with his last day being August 31, 2024. At the time of his announcement, he had over 158,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Anycolor is accepting fan letters for Suzuya Aki again, and people will have until May 31, 2025 to send them in.

Anycolor announced that Nijisanji VTuber Seto Miyako will graduate. Her final day will be on March 4, 2025.

The full announcement is on its official X (formerly Twitter) . It thanks everyone for all their for Miyako, as well as giving a summary of Miyako’s activities since she debuted in 2019. It then thanks her for everything she did during her time as a VTuber. Most of her YouTube, Twitter, and fan club will go private on March 4, 2025, and Anycolor will phase out her merchandise as well. You’ll have until March 31, 2025. Anycolor also asks that you reach out to them for comments or questions, and not ask any of the talents about the situation.

On her Twitter , Miyako stated that as she’s graduating from high school, she’ll also graduate from Nijisanji. Considering she debuted in 2019 as a high schooler, this is likely a nod at her character lore rather than the real reason. In a later post, she says, “Wait, can I say one thing? ‘She has a unique way of speaking and viewing the world’? What do they think of me?” in reference to how Anycolor described her on the announcement.

Seto Miyako debuted in 2019 as a high schooler in her third year, who also serves as the president of the photography club. She often participated in Apex tournaments, and in 2021, her team won the Crazy Raccoon Cup tournament. Anycolor also referenced this accomplishment in its graduation announcement. As of the time of writing, her YouTube channel has over 173,000 subscribers.

Seto Miyako will graduate from Nijisanji on March 4, 2025. As she was not a part of the NijiFes, her departure will not affect the event.
