The context

For non-Japanese readers, it's helpful to understand a few key terms. A "VTuber" (Virtual YouTuber) is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated by computer graphics. A "VSinger" (Virtual Singer) is a type of VTuber who primarily focuses on singing and music releases. Suzumi Nemo is a VSinger, meaning she performed as a virtual avatar focusing on her musical talents. "Nanashi Inc. (ななしいんく)" is a prominent Japanese VTuber agency or group, similar to other major agencies like Hololive Production or Nijisanji, which manages and promotes a roster of virtual talent. The social media platform "X" (formerly Twitter) is a primary channel for VTubers and their agencies in Japan to make announcements, interact with fans, and share content. The concept of "graduation" in the VTuber world signifies an entertainer's departure from their agency or group, often leading to the cessation of activities under that particular virtual persona.
