i suppose this goes here, but I was watching a PNG tuber, and like, the second stream I watch them they are seemingly going off about how they don't read the news, because they don't care about anything except what they do and what games they play.
I stopped watching obviously because like, I don't expect much but I'd hope the streamer I'm watching has some interest or care about others?
what a bizzare day so far

I often find people who actually care about others don’t pay attention to the news.
People who don’t care about people, who only care about the idea of caring about people often do read the news.

In fact, there can be people who cares about the news while not caring about others, and similarly people who both doesn't care about the news nor care about others

Only that, and nothing more."

I find it funny how you can gauge how much each of them listens to the song based on how much they nail it
(I can see Irys being the one that has put this song on loop an unhealthy amount of times)
lucid python
IRyS also has an incredible ability to learn songs in just a day and nail it. You'll know which ones because she says so in her karaoke streams
sharp adder
Irys is the girl that probably has this song on loop 24/7 and knows the exact way to sing it accurately
Bijou is just having fun and being silly like she's out on a karaoke
ERB is being majestic with it like she's singing it at an opera
and Shion is cute
cold plover
cold plover
IRyS also has an incredible ability to learn songs in just a day and nail it. Yo...
for an experienced singer, a lot of it is just recognizing the chord changes and on what interval the melody falls as well as the time signature. this is made somewhat easier by the fact that a lot of pop songs are in 4:4 (4 beats, 4 measures) and there's no guesswork there
what's harder is lyrics and fast paced parts like staccato stuff. I don't know whether their karaoke software shows lyrics or not
lucid python
It's interesting to hear the difference between singers who are just talented and those who are talented and have had training.
AFAIK:
Talented, no training
- Gura
- Mumei
Talented, training
- Liz
- Nerissa
- IRyS
cold plover
It really is. The level of control Irys has is just insane - she manages to have complete control of her tone, phrasing, consonants, and manages to show emotional inflection and this really saturated rich tone
The fach system is useless outside of opera - but she feels almost like a mezzo-soprano and her tessitura is in this sweet spot for a lot of songs
sharp adder
Even amongst the ones who have had training there's differences, ERB tends to do the deep big opera style singing voice which admittedly I don't always enjoy especially for a very pop-y song like APT but that's just what some singers are trained for and that's what you're working with
cold plover
She knows her audience and character. The Notorious E.R.B. knows she can do this really chesty, deep and resonant stuff and show a very strong voice and she rocks it
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KNb3CSOGiHk some acapella from Irys
you can tell she uses a mixed voice, and for the highs she eases off on the compression and gets a lighter and softer tone
sharp adder
Shion actually got pretty close to mimicking the original song like Irys too
I wonder if japanese people have an easier time singing in english instead of talking, I know it's usually easier to sing in other languages or accents or at least that's what I've noticed
cold plover

lucid python
Singing in English makes English pretty syllabic, which I guess would make it easier
That would also explain why English lyrics in Japanese songs and JP songs translated to English (by a Japanese person) tend to sound off even if the words all fit
cold plover
Calli's lyrics on JP specific tracks feels weird for this reason
and you know that they were chosen because they sound cool in Japanese more than for their meaning in English
really skilled people like Suisei make it work and fit in very well written lyrics, but things like her tracks with Watame are less well written
lucid python
That's what makes Calli a wordsmith
sharp adder
That would also explain why English lyrics in Japanese songs and JP songs transl...
I've noticed this sort of thing happening but with fan covers of songs, usually anime openings translated to english
A lot of times some artists will try to fit all the meanings of all the words into the english version, and sometimes it works, but a lot of times it doesn't, but others try to just sort of adapt the overall meaning and make it fit into english but in a way that still keeps the speed and tone of the original vocals

what's this song about again?
north siren
as in, what the lyrics mean?
(I mean, there's a lot to say about the lyrics if you're up for that 
)
storm heath
well, hmm, I suppose I'll listen to it first, then ask from there haha
give me 10 minutes
storm heath
(I mean, there's a _lot_ to say about the lyrics if you're up for that <:lurk:81...
alright, watched it and looked up an english translation. So i know the words but I suspect there's a lot of japanese specific context I'm missing here haha
what's up with the lyrics?
north siren
yeah I'm pretty sure I don't fully understand it either, but
it's clear the main theme is women having to look pretty and feign happiness to get by in life, and how this has been the case for a very long time (hence all the old-timey imagery)
storm heath
nods
north siren
the most direct lyric on this point probably being itsudemo onna wa joyuu / women are always actresses
now all the use of kitsune is a little less clear
the title megitsune is basically me(woman) + kitsune, it's not a standard word you'll find in any dictionary but is clearly intended to immediately sound like "female fox"/vixen
and this is probably all tied up in kitsune being not just the literal foxes but also a kind of youkai known for, among other things, using magical transformations to deceive people
storm heath
youkai being like, magical beings?
north siren
yeah, typically malevolent but basically yeah
by far the hardest lyric to interpret is kitsune janai otome wa megitsune / maidens are not kitsune but megitsune
I believe what's going on is the lyrics are using megitsune not just to mean female fox or female youkai fox, but also this specific acting role women are forced into that does involve some inherent deceit but is very very different from anything supernatural
(note that when I say kitsune "use magical transformations to deceive people", one of the common tropes is transforming into hot ladies to deceive men)
storm heath
ah, i see some of what you mean
or at least, some of the fabric of the song
"Smiling at face, crying at heart" indeed
north siren
exactly
it's a perfect example of "I can't explain every word of it, but I get it"
(...to the extent a non-woman can)
storm heath
aye aye, which is enough for most reasons.
north siren
it should also be noted that the original babymetal music video makes heavy use of kitsune masks, for obvious symbolic reasons, so I appreciate that the holo art used in this video also incorporates the masks
storm heath
nods that's a cool touchstone of the song to keep
thanks for explaining the lyrics, it's good to understand a bit more
north siren
np
it's rare enough that a song comes up here that I'm already familiar with outside of the vtuber context, much less with this much discussable subtext
storm heath
also it looks like someone made a 3d fan animated sequence for the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac6k5BpakUA
sharp adder
by far the hardest lyric to interpret is kitsune janai otome wa megitsune / maid...
I think what this particular line is saying is that while kitsunes intentionally and maliciously charm or deceive others, a "maiden-like female fox" doesn't, she has no bad intentions and isn't looking to deceive
It reminds me a lot of common situations where for example a man would misinterpret a woman being kind or nice into meaning she must be in love, and then being very disillusioned when she inevitably doesn't reciprocate, which would lead him to blame her as if it was her fault, I imagine that general sort of thing is what the whole "we're not kitsunes (intentionally and maliciously deceiving) we're megitsune (charming, beautiful, alluring, but not intentionally malicious)"
north siren
yep, that's exactly the kind of thing I was going for
imo that also ties into how the "smiling on the outside, crying on the inside line" is immediately followed by "pure-hearted maiden"; traditionally deception would be an impurity but I think this is getting at the same point of non-malicious deception
oh duh I almost forgot to mention, the lyrics also specifically use (a variation of) the term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_nadeshiko twice, so there's some more context a random online translation likely would've missed
sharp adder
Some translations would probably translate it to "ideal woman" which would kind of get the idea across but it is also a very particular specifically Japanese term about their views and expectations for a traditionally "perfect" japanese woman
The two times it's brought up the lyric specifically says "yamato nadeshiku are changing", so I'm not entirely sure what it could be referring to
north siren
yeah that's another bit I wish I understood better than I do
my best guess is that it's something like any genuine yamato nadeshiko will have to change into a megitsune sooner or later
sharp adder
I've seen some translations translate this bit as "women are changing into yamato nadeshiku" as if implying they're becoming strong and firm like a yamato nadeshiku and breaking away from being that "actress", kind of seeing the concept of yamato nadeshiku in a more positive light than something negative, but I don't know if that's a mistranslation or if that's another possible read on the line since I don't actually know Japanese
north siren
that one feels like a machine TL fail to me
which is fair because this is probably the most "grammar is a suggestion" line in the song (ignoring all the onomatopoeia stuff)
specifically because "yamato nadeshiku" is, just, not a thing, but it's clearly "yamato nadeshiko" with the last vowel changed, and -ku is a common ending for adjectives, so a maximally accurate literal translation would be more like
"yamato nadeshiko-y women will/do/are change/ing"
north siren
I've seen some translations translate this bit as "women are changing into yamat...
to get more specific on this point: since yamato nadeshiku is (presumably) an adjective of onna, and the thing between onna and kawaru is a wa, changing into yamato nadeshiko doesn't really make any sense here; surely it would've been ni kawaru if they meant into
(I might be imagining this one, but in the babymetal music video I'm pretty sure both times "yamato nadeshiku onna" is sung, the non-vocalist members are miming putting on makeup)
might as well go for broke at this point
sharp adder
Yeah that's what I assumed, I thought it was maybe too drastic of a change in meaning for that phrase to be able to be read both ways but I saw that same translation in a few different places so I wasn't sure
north siren
yeah, unfortunately if you don't know how they're sourcing the translations it's best to assume the worst, sometimes official translations exist but usually some sites are just google TLing it and going for clicks
the last part I always thought was super interesting but I don't fully understand is that the second time the yamato nadeshiku line is used, near the end of the song, new lines are inserted after it:
zutto itsumo kienai you ni / hanabi wo ageru no / aaaa saite chiru no ga onna no sadame yo
which is something like "send up fireworks so it will never ever disappear / aaaa, scattering to the wind is the fate/destiny of women"
- this seems to be a deliberate contradiction between permanence and impermanence, probably something like wishing one was possible but knowing it's not, what I'm not sure of is how this connects to the rest of the song
- saite chiru no ga onna no sadame yo is, like, the most Japanese-y thing so I've gotta pluck this apart more
Saku means to bloom, as in a flower. Chiru means to scatter, in this case most literally the petals of a flower being scattered by wind. Pairing these verbs together is very common for obvious reasons. And this specific metaphor is an extremely Japanese thing, they're big on how cherry blossoms in particular have a short blooming season and this transience is part of what makes them so beautiful. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_no_aware. Cue women = flowers comparisons.
Chiru is often metaphorically used for somebody dying in an honorable or beautiful way (this isn't unique to women, I hear it a lot with e.g. samurai too)
so that line is tying aaaaaaall of that baggage into what the rest of the song is saying about women
ok NOW I'm done
sharp adder
The part about blossoming and falling is another one of those parts that seems too vague and general for me to discern exactly what it's trying to say, it seems very very reachy so I'm not even sure it's anything close to this, but the wording of blossoming first and then falling/fading away makes me think that it's referring to the idea of 'blossoming' into a woman and then that's the role you fulfill until you 'fall', so it's kind of lamenting that the 'fate' or 'destiny' of a woman is to blossom from a girl into that ideal of the perfect woman and then that's all you are and that's all that is expected of you to do, at least that's the impression I get when connecting it to the entire rest of the song, but again I don't really know it seems like a reach or like a weird interpretation maybe
The whole thing about sending fireworks into the sky so it will never disappear to me seems to connect back to the line about 'maidens of old dancing in a fleeting dream transcending time living in the present', almost as if all those old maidens who did conform to this idea and acted their entire lives in the past are still lamenting that until this day almost like lingering spirits, so I read it as a bit of an uplifting line to current women to not let that happen to them too and to not spend their entire lives acting and conforming to this idea of how they should be and then just disappear and be forgotten
Picking apart all the cultural references and intricacies of a Babymetal song is funny considering in that same album they have a song with lyrics like: ''Bullying? Absolutely not!''
north siren
to be fair this is absolutely their deepest song by a mile 
probably their best, certainly my favorite
sharp adder
And of course we can't forget the lyrical genius of Gimme Chocolate, with deep thoughtful lines such as ''Check it out, chocolate, chocolate, can I have some? But my weight worries me lately. But chocolate chocolate, can I have some?''
You know the worst part is I can't even make that joke because reading that entire song as a woman's struggle to abstain from certain things like eating chocolate because she doesn't want to gain weight and appear unnatractive to society is actually a perfectly fine reading on the song

I still can't believe that not only does Nerissa have three sisters and a brother, but one of her sisters is married and the other already has five children, talk about a big family
Poor Nerissa is probably the one mom and dad always look at and go ''when are you gonna marry someone?''
Maybe one day some lucky Jailbird will become her one
lucid python
Peeling away the kayfabe for a sec--we ain't know that. Maybe she isn't single but idols gotta have the illusion of begin eternally available (though this seems to be a problem for JP-bros mostly. I've seen discussions among western fans who largely concluded they wouldn't give a shit if a Holomem openly revealed being married/in a relationship or having a kid).
But then I also think Nerissa is early 20s while her sisters are older, late 20s or early 30s, so she could also be single
north siren
I feel like there are vtubers with known (..."canon"?) boyfriends, is that an indie thing?
sharp adder
I mean even if she was, obviously I very much doubt she'd ever even think of getting into a relationship with one of her fans lol that's a whole different level of parasocial, but I do think that whole thing manifests way less in the EN side of things, they probably still aren't allowed to talk about it openly if they are in a relationship but they still aren't the type to try and keep up this image of totally being single and totally being in love with you (the viewer)
for Nerissa's case I don't think I have any reason to believe she's not single and also it makes it funnier to consider she is just for the joke precisely because both of her sisters are already married
sharp adder

idk much about the vtubing scene outside of hololive, but for holo specifically, they rly lean into the Idol aspect, as Prof said, would maybe include keeping the image of being singe/having their relationship status under wraps and whatnot. iirc there was a bit of an outcry when Towa and most infamously Rushia had a slip up of having a Male show up (from a discord message/voice in the background/etc) and the stigma of having the Hologirls collab with Holostars in general, though some like Ollie are breaking that by collabing with the boys but its still everpresent
lucid python
Ollie and Liz smash the barrier all the time. They get shit for it but soldier on
HoloID in general seems more willing to collab with the boys
JP rare from what I've seen, and in EN Liz collabs with the Stars pretty regularly, Bae rarely, and Calli rarely. And then Liz is like the only one collabing with the EN boys specifically
No wait Ollie does a bunch too

also, kinda unrelated but I just wanna say something I find very endearing and charming about Hololive's community is the support people give to absolutely each of them at all times regardless of size, even going into some of Liz's donation reading streams where it has views on the low tens of thousands, you still have so many people that are so (figuratively) enamored with her and thanking her for the streams and going on about how everytime she streams it cheers them up and this and that, and it's like that for absolutely all of them, they all each have a passionate audience like that and that's very sweet

I've never been so happy I know a tiny bit of Spanish; all of these LA PUTAs would not be half as funny if it was new information
also my brain was not prepared for "XD" read as "equis de"
sharp adder
Equis De in particular is a bit of a hallmark of spanish memes because a spanish text to speech program called Loquendo was so prevalent in the internet for so long, some of the most common usages were in parody videos from GTA San Andreas and tutorial videos (from which the "yo no lo descargo porque ya lo tengo/I won't download it because I already have it" meme came from)
Obviously though XD isn't spanish exclusive, but it's just so widespread and has become ingrained so much in the regular experience of being on the internet I remember when I first started hearing XD pronounced as "ex-dee" I had a bit of a culture shock, and whereas I feel like saying XD kinda fell out of style everywhere else in spanish it's basically like the equivalent of saying "lol"

Ain't that the chick people thought was literally dead
cold plover
She had a heart attack and actually died but was revived in the ambulance
sharp adder
jesus christ
cold plover
It sounds like she has some lingering health effects, but she's recovered and is trying to live a better life
I'd say more but the video is only 2 minutes long and I've said the gist of it
💀 her company literally said "the medics couldn't revive her" when they actually did
Like did she not have any emergency contacts? People they could get in contact with like a family member for a wellness check?
they made a fucking tribute video to her
sharp adder
Well she said she asked the hospital to not contact anyone because she wanted a fresh start and to start a new life basically
which is pretty radical
So that's probably what caused the misunderstanding
I don't know exactly how stuff like that works I don't really know if it's really allowed for people to just do that and asks doctors to just not tell anyone about you being okay or anything but apparently that's what she said she did
Usually that's kind of the first thing they always ask for/do
cold plover
HyaxisVTG said they were in contact with her family, who I would imagine would notify her employer if she was alive or not. They couldn't just get her fired or removed from the agency, there would have to be a death certificate provided so things like dispersement of benefits or tax paperwork (assuming Hyaxis is a real company) could be provided afaik
sharp adder
Well to be fair if the company contacted the family and if she asked for nobody to be told, including her family, I would imagine the family would tell the company she passed assuming that was the case because they didn't know/weren't notified
but I don' really know it's really just that 2 min video we have to base it all off of
cold plover
In that case the company would know and just didn't tell people she wasn't dead
lucid python
Speaking of heart attacks it isn't vtuber related but a high school classmate of mine just had a heart attack and the doctors were both like "How did you get a heart attack this young" and also "how are you alive"
They answered the first question by discovering calcium buildup blocking an artery. Put in a stent but it collapsed because her blood vessels are smaller than normal--also a contributor to the heart attack.
She'll be on anticoagulants for the rest of her life and now has a strict diet but hey she's alive
sharp adder
Heart related stuff is so fucking awful
It can creep up on even young or relatively healthy looking people, it can just happen
neat oar
I had a heart defect that doctors didn't fix until it was months away from killing me. I mean, my early doctors knew it was there, but basically said, "He'll be fine for a few years. It probably won't even get worse." Spoiler: it got worse. After a routine doctor visit, my pediatrician said "He needs surgery ASAP." A few weeks later, I got the surgery and now my heart is fine.
sharp adder
I've heard a few stories like that, usually doctors not taking certain signs seriously and people nearly having to fight doctors to get checked or get treatment for something, only for the doctors to later find out it really was serious after all
At least they got to yours before it was untreatable, and at least they knew, a lot of people don't get that luxury unfortunately

Announcement with the serious kanji
Some speculation that it's another indefinite hiatus, but I imagine it's tough to do more than one of those. Shion has had ongoing health issues that kept her from regular streams for years, and this may be the end of it.
If it is the big G, quite surprising to have it announced right before Hololive's biggest event of the year. Not wanting to put a damper on a huge event is why Ame and Fauna didn't announce their graduations too close to Breaking Dimensions, even though their decisions were done months before it.
Shion is also quite young (like Sora and Haachama, she was a minor when joining before Hololive had the 18+ rule) so she may also be career shifting to something else while she can, possibly to something that puts less stress on her.
iron quail

Fubuki and Okayu both rescheduled streams planned to start at the same time as Shion's announcement to an hour later. Matsuri put out a tweet that said "Let's all stay strong!"

Update: Matsuri's tweet apparently had nothing to do with Shion's announcement as she made another one where she said she was confused as to why people were responding to her regarding Shion.

Graduation confirmed, April 26
She mentions that she tried hard to come back last year after her hiatus to make as many good memories as possible
She thanks her viewers for sticking with her all this time, through her health issues and myriad internet problems
She apologizes for making this announcement right before Holofes and thanks Hololive for being her home
She hopes everyone can continue to make good memories until her final day
I didn't hear totally but I'm pretty sure I also heard that the primary graduation reason is indeed her health issues.

I hope Aqua is doing okay too, knowing the way she was off screen and how afraid she was for moving on her own and all that, I hope she's still in contact with her friends
lucid python
Aqua had shit to do around the Cover offices for like a month after graduation , mostly signing merch. So she was definitely around.
After a full translation, something I missed in Shion's graduation announcement was that she mentioned Hololive's "change in direction" also factored into her decision to graduate and she'd ben contemplating for literal years whether to leave or not.
sharp adder
I'm guessing she also wanted to be more of a streamer than an idol
lucid python
It's not necessarily that she had objections, but that the various things Cover wants to do going forward would simply be incompatible with Shion and her health problems. Introducing more types of stress to the already-troubled Shion just wouldn't be good for anyone
lucid python
I'm guessing she also wanted to be more of a streamer than an idol
Multiple Holomems have said that the increase in idol activities doesn't mean a decrease in streamer activities and they report that there has not been pressure to do idol stuff. It's more that the company has a LOT more capability to produce idols than it used to and such options are available, but there doesn't appear to be any concrete evidence that anyone is being urged or forced to do any idol things they don't want to.
Both Fauna and Aqua mentioned that they loved their idol work, despite both not being sure it'd be for them when they started out, and they said that an increased idol focus was not a reason for graduation. It's a lot of stuff that us on the other side of the curtain will simply never know.

Oh hi!
Oh bye...
They're all leaving us bros
the end of an age
The thumbnails of these videos where they're staring in a white background makes it worse for some reason, it's like the last look back a character does at the end of an anime and you get this feeling of ''this is it then''

This is gonna be an oshi-level hit for me, y'all (I had Mumei as a pfp for a while), but honestly it's kinda getting easier. Still hurts, but hurts for a shorter time.

I remember every second of her debut
lucid python
I remember during one of the first unit collabs of like getting to know Council or something there was the question "What was Mumei doing in the 1300s?" and Mumei's answer was "Don't worry about it"
Also I fell in love with her singing voice when in a karaoke she sang Somebody to Love one of the first times she actually let loose and sang seriously
Cope: The tone of this tweet doesn't sound too somber

Yeah Fauna going really was a gut puncher for me
north siren
I don't even have an oshi and I feel like I've lived through multiple waves of this secondhand graduation grief
sharp adder
I don't have nearly enough time to possibly follow all of these girls simultaneously so I just get to know all of them through clips and edited stream highlights and compilations, I'm deep enough where I get this feeling of ''man this sucks'' but not deep enough where it's personally devastating
Except for a few that really did make me sad like Sana and Aqua
I actually think those exact two were also pfps Prof had before which is a bit unfortunate
north siren
I think Sana leaving was around the time I started paying any attention to all this
but prof's Shiori pfp was the first one where I 100% knew who it was without asking the moment he switched to it
sharp adder
I was around since like 2019 myself, before Coco and Hololive EN bridged the gap between Japan and the rest of the world pretty much, after that it picked up surprisingly quickly
I also remember being around when Kizuna AI was popping off too
north siren
Ai was definitely before my time

I got into Hololive (& ig vtubers as well by default) after Myth but before IRyS

Here we go
Graduation confirmed, April 28
"Misalignments with the company and ongoing health issues"
Not being able to speak or sing became devastating for her, understandably
Poor baby's health took a nose dive in the last year severely affecting her activities. It makes perfect sense that this was the only course of action.
And there's the official Cover announcement
iron quail
Yeah it's really unfortunate but health takes priority here, hopefully she can continue what she loves elsewhere
lucid python
Chronic coughs and whatever respiratory issues she has are not solved overnight. Even if it could be resolved with surgery recovery from that not only would take months if not over a year, but would likely permanently alter her voice and capacity for speaking and singing
It's just a no-win situation
If she rises again it won't be soon like Fauna or Ame
iron quail
Yup she should take her time, if she wants to continue pursuing vtubing, but only she knows what she wants to do moving forward
lucid python
She's still worth watching
I recommend her Doom streams, her ranting streams (she literally just rants about stuff adorably for an hour), and of course her karaoke
Oh and her Planet Zoo streams
gilded nest
The last time I felt like dipping back into vtuber stuff, Ame's role changed 
sharp adder
Yeah luckily for us a lot of these girls' stuff is still out there
The bad part is just the strange empty feeling of knowing that it's all weeks, months or even years ago and they're not streaming anymore
or maybe that's just me, because I sure get that feeling
gilded nest
I get that feeling and i haven't been following vtubers at all.lately
lucid python
She's still around for a month and it usually takes a few months more for streams to finally be removed from the channel
Plus clips galore
gilded nest
Wait they remove the streams from the channel?
gilded nest
That's terrible
lucid python
Just checked Ame's channel and her stuff is still up
But she's an affiliate so it makes sense
Fauna's stuff is also still up
lucid python
Oh true
sharp adder
gilded nest
Oh that's better
iron quail
I'm pretty sure the deletion is only for terminations right?
Correct, terminated members like Rushia and Mel don't have their streams available anymore
A simple graduation would have their channels remain intact, like Coco's still standing
Depending on the member, the members only streams will either be available for everyone afterwards or be taken down/inaccessible bc monetization is disabled
sharp adder
Space left first
Then Nature
Then Civilization
Only Time and Chaos are left
That’s why they needed a little Hope
even after all the graduations we've seen Bae crying was up there with the most devastated and sad I've seen any of these girls be
storm heath
yeah, I tuned in but didn't watch for long, it felt kinda cruel to watch her be sad
worn gulch
If we sad, imagine the girls who literally spent years working together
sharp adder
Don't even have to imagine, we already saw Bae and even Kronii with her usual stoic personality broke a little bit

Mumei sounds great (as great as she can be) in her stream
The cough is there and it is persistent but she's being silly Moom as usual
lucid python
Mumei cover of IDOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apgmr-SggVQ
And it's right fire
According to Mumei it was prepared years ago but various complications kept it from being released
lucid python
Poor IRyS losing it a bit at the beginning of her stream. She says Mumei would ask her about doctors who might be able to help her when she was in Japan as IRyS deals with similar issues, though not nearly to the extent Mumei does. She feels guilty that she was unable to help in a capacity that could actually improve Mumei's situation, but supports Mumei's ultimate decision.

I don't even know what she could've begun to mean with ''interesting'' oppai
but also talking about Subaru's oppai and asking her ''what color is it''

I assume this is a yandere song of some kind? given the thumbnail

It is
The lyrics boil down to "I love you so much I will inflict pain on the both of us to express it."

Biboo is currently talking about Advent as the Avengers (Ad-vengers) and it's making me think of Fuwamoco doing that sequence from Endgame with Cap and Thor throwing Mjolnir and Cap's shield back and forth beating up Thanos
"Mogojyan, catch!"
"Haeh!?"
sharp adder
(loud cartoonish bonk sound as the Mjolnir slips and hits Mogojyan in the face)
speaking of those two I saw that one guy who did that mockup PS1 Banjo Kazooie style game that one time show a bit more of an actual game the other day, but it was on twitter so I couldn't share it here

The difference is Raden will protect her while Shiori will suddenly be gone in the blink of an eye when the danger gets too close but say "It's okay, you got this, Beebs!"

I can’t believe we finally got a Shiori and Flayon stream
Also apparently my measurements are really close to Flayon; he is 40” 33” 38” and I’m 40” 35” 38”
