HOLOTALK EP 22: SHIROGANE NOEL (Where the K cups are actually real)
Interesting Bits
- First things first admits that she quite addicted to Elden Ring. Mace only build I expect nothing less now to be honest, could be a fun run to watch now.
- If you didn't know Noel declined an invitation to Hololive firstly because someone else auditioned for her long ago (this was when it was way way easier to get into) but a year and half later she applied herself and then became 3rd Gen. Its a weird story this clip explains it much better.
Yagoo remembers that Danchou refused to join hololive once
- Her fav type of streams to do funny enough are gaming ones, which I thought was surprising. Back before she used to be in Hololive, she used to just watch people play games instead but now she much prefers actually playing them.
- Before Holo, her favourite game series is Dragon Quest, she actively try's to play them all, and she just finished the 11th one not too long ago.
- The Gyudon (Beef Bowl) thing isn't actually a meme, some days she will actually have 3-4 of them a day, which is quite a fair bit for a Jap. Compared to US food size proportions I'm sure it fucking tiny but still.
- One of her biggest points she cares about when doing her ASMR stuff is the "immersion" feel of it. She says if you can nail that down it helps a lot, for instance she will never speak in plural and make it feel like it just you and her. Pro tip right there.
- For her usual streams she prepares like 5-15 mins beforehand, when she dose a ASMR one, she already got everything ready about 1 hour ago. She actively checks all the sound levels each time and has all the bits ready and there. She try's her very best to make sure nothing goes wrong as it will ruin the whole stream. Got to give her credit she very professional for her ASMR stuff.
- Kiara showed a clip of the legendary Pekora X Noel valentines stream not long ago. Noel did mention that that is wasn't your usual "healing" aspect about it but it was quite fun to do now.
Pekora's hilarious attempt at ASMR leaves Noel laughing and ears bleeding
- Supposedly Kiara would buy Noel a Dirndl outfit as it German (the one her model is wearing) and bring it over to Japan. So if you ever see that outfit on
Canan ASMR side of things,
you know how she obtained it...
- So if you didn't know, on the 15th on every month Noel has "Homenobi no Hi" which roughly translates to "Appreciation Day". From an outside perspective it looks like it just pure praising towards Noel but she explained it that it's meant for also praising viewers as well, as Japs are rather shy and don't often compliment each other so if they all do it together, it's not as scary/embarrassing. Ngl it kind of wholesome when you see her reasoning behind it.
Pictures Bits
She got into ASMR stuff long time ago from being interesting into acoustic equipment (studio mics, etc) and stumbled on videos of the bi-audio mic demonstrations on YouTube. This was before ASMR videos all over YT was a thing, she thought it might become a big thing years later and well look at YT today and you see everyone and their mum has done it. She actually just started out ordering certain microphones from oversees and then making her own rig setups trying to replicate the head shape as she couldn't afford the legendary KU100 quite just yet.
Ah yes, the legendary Noestudio. Which according to the Holotalk EP from Noel herself is worth close to
$100,000.00 (I shit you not). So the original intention is that she never wanted a studio in the first place but she kept buying so much audio equipment like various audio interfaces and soundproofing and what not. So she ended up up making one of her rooms purely dedicated to just all this ASMR related stuff. A small part of the reason why she has it now, is she wants to kind of give back to Hololive, so any of the girls are more than welcome to come over and use her studio with her. Many of the girls get completely blow away of how much of professional setup she has and don't expect the amount of equipment she really has. Noel says in this that she has roughly 15 microphones so far that all do various different things and not all are ASMR ones.
And as always... the answer this time round is WHITE
Side note: So this one had some good bits, nothing too much I guess we didn't already know. I'm going to start doing these after they have aired. It is SO much easier to do this as I can skip through the jap talking bits and just listen to the translations. Yeah it a shame it not live so people can talk about it at the time but I cant put in as much detail as I always used to miss bits here and there. Will I go back a redo my past ones? No, not going to happen if you cared that much about your oshi, you would watch the EP of said oshi yourself. I'm just here to summarise it as simple and best as I can for everyone here.
See you guys later, going back to Elden ring about 80% done but I wanna try get all the achievements so, I wont be here as regular like normal till then!
