Ina posted for her members that she's in Japan again for training for Holofes and will be there for a little bit.
sharp adder
I find it funny how despite other branches being from completely different cultures by virtue of being anime and Hololive/Cover being japanese it seems they just have to adhere to general japanese culture
What with the outfits like the kimonos for new years and things like that

hope she is getting better
Kiara said in her Fire Emblem stream today she's in contact with Gura and she's doing well. No news beyond that though

it's amazing how one the coolest vtubers of all time has one of the cutest fan mascot designs of all time
sharp adder
I was gonna make a joke about how surprised Pekora is to find a female viewer but after reading the comments I think it's a bit silly to see people acting very surprised or excited to see a female fan 
I know there's probably more male fans but come on of course there's girls that watch unhealthy amounts of vtubers
I do love how Pekora reacts like she found a super rare shiny pokemon
north siren
I think she's reacting more to how girly the room looked at a glance and then how cute she thought the girl was, rather than just it being a girl
though ofc I've only seen this one clip and have no idea how many of these she was looking at
sharp adder
I _think_ she's reacting more to how girly the room looked at a glance and then ...
could be, that is a very girly room
now that you mentioned it I hadn't actually looked at the room before wow
that's quite the room
sharp adder
https://twitter.com/gawrgura/status/1618465741380153344
why did she phrase it like that
why
north siren
because translation does silly things to words
I guarantee her brain was going something like kono naka ni iru and trying to map single JP words to single EN words always turns naka into "inside" rather than loosely adapting the whole sentence into "I'm in Japan" or "I'm here"
sharp adder
wait then why didn't she just say ''I'm in Japan''?
I mean she is writing in english
north siren
that's why I said "her brain was going"
this is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect from an ESL JP speaker but not from a native EN speaker
north siren
oh, she's not?
sharp adder
Gura is american
north siren
granted it wouldn't be the first time a bilingual got their brain stuck thinking like the other language
I've caught myself doing that with my English before, though not anything this funny
sharp adder
It is weird because that's exactly how I'd picture a japanese person trying to speak english would phrase things
but definitely not from a native english speaker 
that's deliberate
north siren
personally when I get stuck in Japanese mode my issue is usually failing to think of any English words lol
sharp adder
I think you can even see in the tweet replies that there's a lot of jp fans writing in english and it's exactly like that
I have this thing where I sometimes can't properly explain myself in my native language or I can't find the right word on my native language but I can in english
it sucks
north siren
and occasionally the other language just has an objectively better word
incidentally, my perfect favorite example of "ESL phrasing" is "I have a doubt"
because Japanese and some other languages have a word that means doubt/question, while in English we always separate the two
(plus I had a coworker for a while who actually said that all the time)
sharp adder
Oh god that sounds super weird in english but in spanish it's totally normal to say
We have that too
'Tengo una duda'
sharp adder
Interesting, I think I've said it before but I've always found it interesting how people express in Japanese
I remember comparing it to like how people make cavemen speak but I understand why that'd sound weird lol I just mean like when they say ''sugoi'' or ''uma!'' and sometimes they translate it to a full fucking sentence like ''that's delicious!'' or something when it's literally just a single word
But other people totally understand what they mean by that single word
It's really interesting and cool to me because that's completely different to how you'd express it in other languages
north siren
yeah, Japanese is much more eager to leave chunks of a sentence implied so localizing with the right nuance is always a bit tricky
and then you have to wonder "ok she said 'watashi wa' explicitly, does that mean she's implying this isn't true of someone else, or is she just using complete sentences"
sharp adder
who came up with this language seriously
sometimes even japanese don't understand other japanese
torpid rampart
fr fr no cap ong
north siren
well first China happened, and then these ancient Buddhists needed a shorthand script because Chinese characters are a pain...
sharp adder
north siren
natural language in general is a mess
personally, I prefer Japanese overall for artistic, storytelling purposes, and I prefer English overall for technical or factual communication purposes
but it's a fairly small margin either way
sharp adder
I never actually thought about which language I 'prefer' more before
but I guess at the end of the day it's a nice virtue that all languages work and operate differently
despite a certain one being more ''efficient'' or whatever
north siren
and that efficiency is very situational
even in English half of what we say depends on a ton of context, which often depends on the exact place and time we said it
I suppose it's worth stating explicitly that, typically, Japanese is a sliver more efficient at describing stuff in Japan, and English a sliver more efficient at describing stuff in English-speaking countries, just because they've already got the words for the things that go on there
and you wouldn't expect an English-speaking non-weeb to immediately be familiar with the concepts of omiai and goukon and restructuring and capsule hotel and pachinko and a hundred other sometimes-recursive loanwords
sharp adder
to someone who knows nothing about japan prior going to japan or learning about these things would feel like entering a different reality entirely
north siren
oh, and don't forget the stuff that "everyone" can visually recognize but probably doesn't know the word for
quick: what's the name of that special kind of red wooden gate you always see in front of shinto shrines?
sharp adder
torii?
north siren
pinpon!
north siren
it's two i's
sharp adder
whew, almost had my weeb license revoked there
north siren
separate syllables, so some would romanize it as tori'i
鳥居 とりい
same reason you sometimes see Hawai'i spelled with that '
sharp adder
I feel sort of proud that I recognize the hiragana for 'ri' and 'i'
north siren
yeah, the mere fact that ri is one letter makes it "obvious" where the syllable breaks are, you don't even need to think about it (when starting from that language)
torpid rampart
one thing I wish other countries would adopt from japan is their universal symbol of "good and bad" with how a circle is good and x is bad, like with how they use in grading papers
north siren
come to think of it, how did we end up doing Xs and Os for Tic-Tac-Toe and then nothing else
sharp adder
No idea, all I found was that the first reference to the modern version of tic tac toe was a british game named noughts and crosses in the 1800s
prior to that you had ancient egyptian games played in a similar board and ancient roman games played on chalk that used pebbles instead of the crosses and circles
there's remnants of the chalk boards they'd use all over rome apparently
as to why the japanese use the Marujirushi/Koreans use the gongpyo instead of the checkmark I have no clue
I'd say cultural differences, it's probably a remnant of ancient latin or greek culture but apparently the japanese use the checkmark to denote wrong answers as well as the cross
so... no clue

Oh that's why it looked so weird
I wish someday one of em can do a stream like this without gloves
I think it's less weird with Pekora and such because they already have gloves normally
Kiara also uses white gloves so it's a bit less jarring
I love how at one point she's straight up just making dog noises
''this game BIG VOICE JUMP!''

Not just that but telling her they can bring a crane later
which probably costs more too
lucid python
sharp adder
I don't know if they're trying to wrap their heads around the idea of a lesbian woman or if Kanata still likes men but just enjoys looking at women more
or maybe she's just bisexual
lucid python
Yeah what Kanata said suggests she might be bi with a pretty strong preference for women
But the "You see shirtless men and then women in swimsuits, which one fills you with the feeling of 'Ah, I'm being healed!'?" is a mood
sharp adder
I mean, to be fair, there are straight women who do like to see pretty women and compliment each other
I feel like it's generally more acceptable for girls to compliment each other and tell each other they're hot than for men to do it
she might be bi and prefer women more yeah
although to be fair so many girls at hololive are gay
like, so many
north siren
I feel like it's generally more acceptable for girls to compliment each other an...
in western culture, I think so (although of course this is eroding in my generation so it's hard to tell)
I haven't noticed that particular qualm in Japanese media
sharp adder
Hmmm well in japanese it's still the same general idea
for example girls tell each other they look kawaii or kireii (is that how you write that?) and men are cool
north siren
just kirei
sharp adder
I remember watching this one short once from this jp channel and I remember them mentioning that where you tell a girl she's kawaii and a guy oh he's kakkoii (is that how you write that? )
all these double letters are so confusing sometimes
north siren
it makes a lot more sense when you're writing in Japanese lol
sharp adder
it does and when I say it out loud it starts to make sense
north siren
kakkou ii especially since that's two words and you've doubtless heard ii a million times
(I forgot to install JP typing on this laptop)
sharp adder
ii nee comes to mind
is it meant to be kakkou ii?
i'm assuming the ou is silent
the 'u' sorry
lucid python
"Ii nee" is just "That's good/nice, isn't it?"
lucid python
When romanizing the u in words like kakkou the u is meant to indicate the o sound is elongated
north siren
the u is never "silent" per se, but in an "ou" it usually makes the o longer rather than add what you'd recognize as a separate u sound
north siren
well, it also indicates that if writing in kana you'd write the letter for "u" there
north siren
I wouldn't describe the double consonant as an "elongation" but I see your point
lucid python
My sensei had described the double consonants like "tripping" on the sound, like you're stopping and very quickly starting the sound again
sharp adder
Hmm, that makes sense
north siren
anyway, these distinctions do often matter in practice, e.g. kakkou (one's appearance, in a broad sense including outfit/posture/mannerisms) versus kakko (brackets/parentheses) versus kako (the past, as in before the present and the future)
sharp adder
gotta love when a language has a ton of words that are either very similar or are literally the same yet can mean so many different things
happens with more languages than you'd think
north siren
your you're yore
sharp adder
north siren
at least kako kakko kakkou really sound different
once you get used to them
(not that Japanese doesn't have a bunch of actual homophones too)
sharp adder
yeah that 'elongation' really makes a difference
unless the person doesn't know how to speak japanese (miko) or speaks japanese so fast you don't even pick up on it (marine)
in that case, you're fucked
good luck
north siren
I think this stuff affects syllable emphasis or cadence somehow and that's why it's easy to reliably hear even when people are talking fast, but I'm awful at linguistics so I can't pin it down or explain it
north siren
that's also a good example of one that looks a lot weirder in romaji
north siren
びよういん vs びょういん
sharp adder
oh god
north siren
then again maybe I'm too used to spotting the smaller letters
or reading those words in kanji
north siren
美容院 vs 病院
sharp adder
I would never be able to pass that one test to see if you can speak and read japanese

lucid python
Yeah luckily the kanji are very different
north siren
JLPT?
sharp adder
I think so
lucid python
Well different except for the last one that means "building" or "place where the thing that precedes this kanji happens"
worn gulch
this reminded me of this cursed thing
north siren
have fun articulating the difference between the -in/-院 and -kan/-館 building suffixes
north siren
or between English's -eum and -orium suffixes for that matter

the worst part is that even with that accent she'd still speak better japanese than an actual california girl

oh god that's even worse than mine

yep, I 've had plenty moments while watching anime or listening to jp songs that as a spanish speaker make me raise my head and be like ''yo fr you said that?????''
lucid python
ketsuana is the colloquial term for anus. There's a more medical/scientific word but it escapes me
Ketsuana is literally butt hole
And I'm gonna stop lol
sharp adder
worn gulch
Ano is year in portuguese
sharp adder
yep in italian too
worn gulch
I do find crazy that if you read japanese with portuguese accent it sounds pretty much exactly like a native japanese speaker
just need to swap R and L
sharp adder
in spanish too
that's why spanish people have a much easier job learning jp and jp have a much easier job learning spanish
north siren
Japanese does have the same... vowel logic? as most of the romance languages, yeah
sharp adder
japanese people speaking spanish are only slightly distinguishable from a spanish person speaking spanish
somethin is off but you may think it's just a different accent
worn gulch
also fun fact: Brazil is the second place in the world with most japanese people, just behind japan
sharp adder
also I've seen japanese people that apparently love latino culture and some others singing cumbia and reggaeton and it's super funny but so cool

why the fuck, idk
north siren

yeah apparently a lot of jp people went to brazil and there's this weird sub section of brazil-japanese families

Evident when Japan came out during the opening ceremonies of the Rio Olympics

There are some cities that have pretty much a japanese section
sharp adder
ye
north siren
I visited San Francisco's "Japantown" several times
lucid python
TIL the official Olympics YouTube channel has the opening ceremonies in their entirety

also that reminded me of this super funny meme with the wojak where a latin american guy is looking at a typical latin american neighborhood with all those houses super close to each other and the powerlines being a mess and being angry and then clapping and being happy at literally the same thing except in a nice japanese neighborhood
I guess brazil has technically both versions of that
north siren
Tokyo did have some impressive footbridges, that's a real difference from the cities I'm used to living in
sharp adder
footbridge?
north siren
pedestrian bridge/walkway is another common term
north siren
once you're conscious of it you'll see these in every other anime
they're just normal
(and yes they exist in the west, but nowhere near as common)
worn gulch
idk how more countries does not have those
lucid python
These are always used as places where someone confesses to their crush in the pivotal episode of the show
north siren
same, that's why I keep bringing them up
north siren
or in Madoka where you find out what Kyubey really is 
lucid python
Or where a car rushes by and the confession is drowned out by the noise of traffic
"What did you say?"
"Nevermind. I'm just glad I got the chance to say it!"
"Wow this person who is close to me is so mysterious!"
sharp adder
if those tropes existed but the anime was set in america:
''I.... I.... I l--''
[car honks]
''LEARN HOW TO DRIVE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!''
sharp adder
"What did you say?"
"Nevermind. I'm just glad I got the chance to say it!"
"Wow ...
that kind of trope infuriates me so much
north siren
there was even one huge 4-way intersection of 6(?)-lane roads I walked through that had footbridges for all four crossings with elevators on the corners
sharp adder
Just fucking say it again she's clearly into you goddamn!
elevators are a bit overkill lol
but those are still so cool
Honestly I don't understand how they're not everywhere
like literally everywhere
north siren
they really should be
sharp adder
they even have suuuper high railings so people don't just yeet themselves into oncoming traffic
and hey they're smart, the railings aren't horizontal so they can't just climb on top of it
lucid python
Confessions in the middle of crosswalks also irrationally piss me off.
sharp adder
they're full y vertical, good design
lucid python
"Move you idiots you're setting up a death flag!"
sharp adder
I mean besides that you're literally just taking up space in the middle of the crosswalk dude
like.. move! I got places to be
lucid python
Literarily it's symbolic, like they're crossing over into a new stage of the relationship, but damn it's dangerous and rude
north siren
I only tolerate that trope if it's in the middle of the Shibuya Scramble, because then you might legitimately have time for shenanigans lol
also why does that intersection have zero footbridges
lucid python

also I never thought japan would have schools specifically for rebel kids
There are schools like this in the US, too. They're often called "alternative schools" and you know exactly what kind of kid someone is/was if they say the go to/went to an alternative. They either have criminal records or behavioral problems so severe no regular public school can accommodate them. Or both.
sharp adder
Oh no I know very well these schools exist
I just didn't expect it from Japan
I gathered there probably is a couple of rebellious kids in schools that go out of that norm of the super respectful and polite student but I didn't think there'd be enough of them to have schools specifically for them

Real talk though. It probably does suck they constantly have to worry about being ousted or found out anytime they go out in public

I'd try to be as chill about it as possible if I somehow stumbled across one in the wild
A simple "keep up the good work" and not telling anyone else about the encounter
The last thing they need is a super weird encounter hanging over them like that
And that's only if a social interaction actually took place. I wouldn't approach one or ask or anything like that, that's just asking for trouble
crude beacon
I would feel bad if someone was just being friendly and had no idea who they were and they got freaked out or something
lucid python
Yeah even if you know what a vtuber looks like IRL unless they have a public presence as their IRL self (and probably not even then) it's just respectful to not engage and keep your distance

I wonder if it's just simply because it's a bar and people tend to be a bit more outgoing but I was surprised to hear that a japanese girl was wearing that type of clothing and just approached a guy out of nowhere, almost every time anyone brings up how japanese people act it's always about how they're super reserved and usually shy especially towards foreigners
lucid python
Could have been a scammer. Could also have been a girl looking for some fun. Horny people exist everywhere.
sharp adder
I don't doubt there has to be some girls out there that have a thing for foreigners specifically
Wouldn't be surprised if it was a scammer I have seen one or two videos about the subject before and it's crazy
and of course they specifically target foreigners/tourists

There are far too many, even within Hololive which I am pretty much exclusive to, to keep regular tabs on all the time. I think a lot of vtuber fans would agree that the ones they actually watch live most are the ones whose fairly regular stream times frequently match up with their own free time.
For me at the times I am free on days when I work I can almost always get one or more of a Gawr Gura, Nanashi Mumei, Hakos Baelz, or Ceres Fauna stream as they tend to stream at primetime for US viewers.
On my days off I can catch Ninomae Ina'nis and Takanashi Kiara as they stream earlier in the day for US viewers.

I watch all Minecraft streams, and only the Minecraft streams, that the HoloEN/HoloID girls do, I would do the same for some of the JP but I don't speak Japanese sadly
so I would watch Minecraft streams from Gura, Ame, Kiara, Ina, Kronii, Mumei, Fauna, Bae, IRyS, Moona, Risu, Reine, Kaela
For mostly background noise I sometimes play MC streams from Pekora, Watame, Miko, Sora, Polka, Iroha, Koyori

JP members when I watch are mostly background for me too, but I'll pay harder attention if they are playing a game I am into

Partly her lore, which says that as the guardian of civilization she mostly just observes humans and rarely intervenes except at crucial times.
Part of it is Mumei herself who says that she just likes to watch people.

''I like to watch'' - Mumei, as Kronii is getting slapped

The additional (malicious?) murderous intent comes from fun events like one of Council's first collab streams where Mumei said she was busy doing "something" with fleas in the 14th century.
