Been an age since since done this, bare with if I'm rusty....
HOLOTALK EP 23: NAKIRI AYAME
Summary of interesting bits
- New intro video which isn't massively different. Biggest bits would be new stock footage and 3D Kiara, which nice to say the least.
-
Kiara =
"What have you been up to recently?". Absolutely fucking nothing that's what, what pure lies. Don't believe the cute
oni giggle lies
- Fun fact,
Kiara is the first EN member she has collabed with. They been around over 2 years, get your shit together, I think most of JP and done something with the EN girls in some regard by now.
- How she got the name "
Ojou" is a bit weird. It translates to "Young Lady" or "Miss" and she calls her fans "Nakiri-gumi" which is like a sort of like a Yakuza style thingy, and in them the top woman is called "
Ojou". Now you know, even I didn't know.
- Kiara =
"How do you think your steams/personality has changed since debut?" Well she used the stream which would be the biggest thing (I'll stop taking the piss soon I promise).
- She tried one of them grip strength devices, just to see and with her noodle arms she managed a lowly 25kgs. For reference I think Kanata record is about 56kg top of my head.
- She actually has this hobby of collecting stamps/seals from shrines and filling up this book. Pretty much a stamp rally but a bit more traditional. Of course
Kiara had to share the story of her working at a shrine once back in the day which blew the
oni's brain.
- One of the hardest things she had to overcome was learning all the dancing and being "idol" like. As back in the day (keep in mind she is a 2nd gen) she didn't know what sort of route Hololive was taking before it got really big to what it is today.
-
Kiara has actually changed the last like 2 questions she always ask and has slightly re-worded them. The answer not worth writing down as it basically the same they all say as I've said on many of the past write ups.
Pictures of stuff
This is a new vs old comparison of the studio. I dig it, the new layout is much more cleaner and everything looks like it "fits". For example in the old one, the table is a photo by the looks of it but in the new, it looks all either 3D models or drawn very well.
Also the new rooms are very nice. FINALLY we don't just cut to a big screen of a clip with cut out boxes in the corner like some Japan game show. Also she had to prove that in all in the "same room" and fair enough, she went the extra mile for the immersion sake.
She actually threw in a brand new question, which if you think about it could be a little bit personal, I know Japanese are all over their blood types and all that, but this would add another puzzle piece if people wanted to look into you potentially, but as you might have expected she said her blood type was a secret, which is a bummer. Also as always the answer is
BLACK.
Other Shit
This was one of the clips in the clip segments. I completely forgot about this alpha chad that sent her all this plastic wrap, fucking hilarious. There really is some golden moments from a while back as you can no longer send gifts to them, only letters. Out of all the wrap she got sent, she has used about 65% of it so far.
Final Words
All in all, not to bad. Can't say I've learned anything game breaking new, but the clip bits were actually great whatever staff-san picked them out, props to them. The new layout was really nice to see, made watching through not as much as a drag as I'm pretty good at skipping at the jap talking parts at this point.
I will admit, I had to fucking will myself to do this and made time to do so as well. In the last good few months I've barely had the time to keep up the loop with Vtuber stuff, being an adult sucks and the magical spark of watching it all has fizzled out a bit, so I just sort of resorting to the odd clip here and there, and BARELY keep up with either of the threads. But I felt this retarded sense of duty to see this through, it a little bit like our main man Godzilla dose all the Pippa archive stuff.
Will I do future ones? Not sure. If shit carries on the way it is, or I get more work, then I might just resort to being a hardcore lurker again. Only time will tell. I enjoy doing them but yeah, will just have to be realistic.
Thank you guys for reading, you will always be the best of lads.
