Emotions have flared up in the VTuber community with some Selen Tatuski fans calling for the dragon VTuber to leave Nijisanji after her latest cover song was privated by the agency.
Selen Tatsuki has been hit by another controversy with Nijisanji having previously banned the talent from hosting international events for an unspecified reason.
This time around the community uproar follows the privatizing of Selen’s latest cover song, Last Cup of Coffee. Despite featuring a custom MV, taking months to produce, and costing “a lot of money,” it was privated by Nijisanji just three hours after being published.
Distraught by the news many of her fans have criticized the VTuber agency and some are even calling for Selen to leave altogether.

Furious about the news independent VTuber Flipsie replied: “Please Selen, I’m begging you not to renew the contract. You deserve so much more than a company that actively sabotages you every chance they get.”

Another prevalent voice in the VTuber community in Koefficient responded: “I love all the livers @ EN they are so motherf**kingly talented but they only are getting nerfed and restricted by their own management and preventing them from spreading their wings and flourishing.”

Another disgruntled fan claimed “Niji treats Selen like absolute sh*t which is so upsetting because you can tell how passionate she is and how hard she works. She deserves so much better,” with this tweet receiving a lot of support.

While this latest development has been a setback for Selen Tatsuki the dragon VTuber has also achieved a lot during her time in Nijisanji. On December 9, she hosted the TSB HoloNiji Apex Custom which turned out to be a massive success.
Despite the positives, Selen has been on the receiving end of multiple management decisions leading some Dragoons to encourage her to move on from Nijisanji. It’s currently unclear what the future holds with Selen yet to follow up on her initial tweet.
