Watson Amelia, a member of the English-speaking branch of VTuber agency Hololive Production did her last live stream on Monday, September 30, officially ceasing her streaming activities on Tuesday, October 1. This decision was previously announced on September 21.

In her last livestream, Watson announced a VRChat map called HoloAquarium, which can be visited by the public, as well as merchandise including plush toys and a dakimakura.

Watson debuted as a member of Hololive English on September 13, 2020, as a member of Myth, her branch's first 'generation' ('generation' referring to a group of VTubers from an agency that debut simultaneously). Yahoo Japan, in an article about Watson's end of streaming activities, described her as "contributing to the popularization of VTubing culture outside of Japan".

In VTubing and Japanese entertainment, the term 'graduation' is used to refer to the act of a celebrity leaving a group or company entirely. Watson, however, specified her departure from streaming is not a graduation as she will still be affiliated to the agency and occasionally work with it. Cover Corp (Hololive Production's parent company) announced they will continue to sell Watson-themed merchandise already available, and that any updates regarding Watson and Hololive will be published on their official social media channels.
