Info from Lulu from her grad stream:
Lulu's archives will remain for half a year at least. She would like to have them stay as long as possible, but after the 6 months, there is a possibility that some parts/streams may be removed due to certain reasons.

Lulu's Twitter will remain, but after today, she won't be using it anymore. She will still be looking through tweets about her via hashtags though, so feel free to use those.

Fan letters will be accepted until the end of July (coursed via Anycolor). Please send them in as soon as you can! Her Marshmallow has already closed so send your feelings to her through there.

As for why she graduated:

She had taken a hiatus the last time without explanation; in her comeback stream, she touched on the issue.

Basically, she was given a "letter of challenge", and managed to deal with it hence her comeback.

However, more and more of these "letters" have been coming, and she has to constantly deal with them. She doesn't want to have to keep on going on hiatus to deal with these "letters", causing everyone to worry over and over.

There may have been other options like slowing her activity down. She considered those as well.

But the guilt from causing everyone to worry due to her circumstances (health and otherwise) built up, and so she decided to graduate instead.

"I wasn't good with streaming, and couldn't really come to love myself before. But since streaming, I learned to love myself... I've learned to be able to take more care of myself... I want to look at this [move] in a positive light."

Re: her medical condition, as long as she continues her trips to the hospital, it won't worsen. It might improve after a few years.

At the very least, her retirement is not primarily because of her medical condition, and she is doing okay physically.

"I will continue to play games. I will continue to challenge all these games that I've yet to take on."

"There are some games I couldn't play due to rights and such, so I'd like to play those too."

>Can we [make fanart] with those unrevealed costumes?
"Please ask Saine-mama if you can do that!"

>Will you stay in touch with the Livers?
"They are my precious comrades. I'd be more than willing if there's anything I can do to help within my limits."

"As for regrets, I often play games by myself so there are a lot of people I've not been able to interact with."

"I'd like to watch everyone else's streams; I want to watch from the same place as the fans."

It's not that she disliked being a vtuber, or everyone else (the fans) -- in fact: "I'm proud to have become a vtuber, and am truly happy I became one."

"I hope that not just Nijisanji, but all vtubers continue to do well from here on."

"I truly had a wonderful time and I'm glad to have shared those times with everyone. I'm happy I also got to play Makaimura."

"I have nothing but gratitude. I kept wondering how to express it, even 'til just earlier."

"I've always been thinking, 'what I can do to help people...?' Whenever I get messages [via Marshmallow] of people saying [I was a great help to them], it makes me even happier."

#鈴原るる

"Although some of those messages [Marshmallows] are also the reason why I had to quit... Well, it's a big world and there are all sorts of people... But I just want you to know that I didn't quit because I grew to hate my listeners."

"Thank you for all your support, for those who've been watching me since day 1; for those who've only found me recently... For those who got into vtubers, or Nijisanji because of me... It makes me happy to hear those things."

"Until you forget about me, please always remember me."

"Please don't use my name in front of other Livers -- it can bring the mood down, and the streamer might be unsure what to do... I'm sure you're all wonderful listeners and I'd like everyone to keep that image. This is a request from Suzuhara Lulu!"

"I'll still be looking at my hashtags even after retiring, so whenever you feel down, sad, and lonely, feel free to tweet about it with 'SuzuhaLive' or 'Lulu's' atelier'."

"Well then everyone, thank you so very much! It's time for us to part. The time had already passed midnight before I knew it."

To my listeners:
When I debuted, I didn't know anything. I was anxious when I started as a Vtuber. I knew nothing; how to make thumbnails, setting up OBS, or using chroma key. I truly felt the warmth of this place as the listeners watched over me kindly.

#すずはライブ
#鈴原るる

Now, my initial anxiety is gone. I've simply done everything I've wanted to the best of my abilities, and everyone else looked forward to it -- I loved all of that as well.

I've grown to love the free chatting that I used to be terrible at. It's all thanks to everyone supporting, encouraging, and watching over me.

Every single moment was part of this precious, irreplaceable time. Thank you for spending your valuable time together with me. May you all have more happy, wonderful moments.

Thank you so much.
