Hyte has announced that it will terminate its current projects with Anycolor and Nijisanji. This is in response to the recent controversies involving the company’s firing of Selen Tatsuki.
The full statement is available to read on Hyte’s Twitter (X) account. It starts by thanking the fan community for its support. However, because it is terminating its collaboration with Anycolor, it will cancel and refund all orders of the Nijisanji EN Y60 + Keycap Bundles. Hyte apologizes to fans—specifically FamElira, Rosebuds, and Aloupeeps—and acknowledges that they were excited to receive their products. However, Hyte explains that it wants to stand with other VTuber fans who ceased their support of Nijisanji and Anycolor.
The Y60 + Keycap bundles are still available on Hyte’s website. However, if you try to click in to one of the Nijisanji bundles, it will redirect you back to the main store page. You can still order a plain PC case, or one of Hololive VTubers such as Watson Amelia or Mori Calliope.
The controversy surrounding Selen’s termination stems from Anycolor’s statement, which contained many misleading or false information. This statement comes after Selen invested her own money on a cover and music video of “Last Cup of Coffee.” After Anycolor privated the video, Selen requested that her fans upload it on their own. In a statement from Anycolor, the company assured investors that her termination will have a “negligible” impact on its financial results.
Hyte will no longer offer goods of Nijisanji livers.
