“Thank you for your continued support of the virtual liver groups “Nijisanji” and “NIJISANJI EN”.
We would like to inform you that on December 14, 2022, NIJISANJI EN’s streamer “Yugo Asuma” graduated”.
AnyColor released a statement on their website going into more detail about why Yugo is graduating. While no direct answer is given, it seems to revolve around his “behavior” not being accepted by the agency.
“Up until today, numerous discussions have been held with Yugo Asuma on what it means to be a Liver affiliated with a company,” ANYCOLOR said. “However, despite our discussions, many aspects of his activities and behavior as a Liver could not be accepted as a company, and after much deliberation between both parties, as a company that supports many Livers from NIJISANJI and NIJSIANJI EN, we have decided to have Yugo Asuma graduate.”
Yugo has yet to make any statement to the public regarding his graduation however he did post the following statement on his Twitter account a couple of weeks ago on December 1st:
Hello my lovely Yuguys! I really wanna tell you that you are all awesome. Your existence means a lot. I’m sorry that I am not good enough to satisfy all of you but your existence means a lot. I love you and I hope you are sharing love to everyone💙✨

Fellow Nijisanji English vtuber, Fulgur Ovid has made his own statement regarding Yugo’s graduation:
What is a world without music? A colder, more empty place.
Wherever our DJ next chooses to perform I’m sure they’ll bring more light and love to all those around them. Go finish off those androids, kyoudai. You’ve got this.— Fulgur Ovid ⚡️🐑 NIJISANJI EN (@Fulgur_Ovid) December 14, 2022
