Sana is having a surgery later this month, sometime during the 10-day gap. It will put her out of commision for a few months.
Given that Sana was already struggling to maintain a stable stream schedule due to her back problems and that she does not need Hololive to keep her financial status afloat, she decided to graduate.
The date of the surgery was scheduled earlier than expected and couldn't be moved. They wished to at least make it to 1 year anniversary, but they decided to settle for July.
The reason why they ended up settling for a date so close to the surgery date was because they wanted to finish the smol 3D models, a project that was originally planned for the 1st Anniversary. There might've been some communication fuck-ups resulting in a late date due to Cover probably outsourcing the project to 3rd parties again. Could've been the case with Astrogirl too. HoloEN males were in the making at the time, so the EN Cover branch had a lot of things to handle.
The graduation stream will be prerecorded, taking the inspiration from Coco's, as Sana won't be able to attend it live. Probably some stuffs with her gen and Myth and some clips of most memorable moments from her short career. Sana will try to leave Hololive on the best terms possible. She enjoyed her time in the community and genuinely liked streaming, this is why she wants to leave the company with grace and, of course, to secure her return in 2023.
