First Stage Production’s English branch has confirmed it will remain open and its VTubers active, even as the agency’s Japanese division prepares to shut down on June 30, 2026.

The announcement, shared on social media, emphasized the English branch’s independence, which ensures its continued operation. It also revealed plans for a fourth generation of performers, though no further details about the next group have been disclosed.

This update follows Reality’s announcement regarding the closure of First Stage Production’s Japanese branch and the future of its VTubers. While the final day of operations for the Japanese division is set for June 30, 2026, some performers may conclude their activities earlier.

The following performers have confirmed their graduations:

  • Colonel Mofuchu
  • Himemiya Honoka
  • Hoshikage Tetra
  • Kurosaki Taiga
  • Nyapupu Marina
  • Perfect Bomber
  • Ryugahama Yue

These VTubers have shared their announcements on social media and YouTube. Meanwhile, some performers will remain active under Reality, including:

  • Mochituke Nullpo
  • Nilim Snowmelt
  • Tsukigami Len
  • Yu Yu Yura

Additionally, the following performers will transition to independence under Sorabin:

  • Hinomiya Himari
  • Namiyoi Kanade
  • Ruru Rara Rily
  • Shikimori Kotori

First Stage Production’s English branch reassured fans that its VTubers’ schedules, projects, and plans will remain completely unaffected. The agency also requested respect for its performers by avoiding questions about the Japanese branch’s closure.

The English branch is preparing for its next generation, with the last audition period held from March 6, 2026 to April 12, 2026. Teaser art for the upcoming trailer features five individuals, suggesting the fourth generation will consist of five new performers—a structure consistent with past generations.
