  1. NHK VR E73 (12/14) w/Kanaria
  2.  
  3. (0:00) Good evening, everyone! This is VTuber Suisei Hoshimachi.
  4. (0:05) Today's guest is the creator behind the radiant masterpiece of the Vocaloid scene,
  5. (0:09) the one who brought us the legendary song KING.
  6. (0:12) To show respect to our guest today,
  7. (0:14) I'm starting as a more intense "Suiking" version of myself.
  8. (0:19) Alright, let's get started!
  9.  
  10. (0:22) VR VTuber Music Radio!
  11.  
  12. (Song begins)
  13. (0:26) Let your voice be heard, let your voice resonate.
  14. (0:32) Look, the words of "good morning" still haven’t faded.
  15. (0:38) Raise your voice and search for the answer.
  16. (0:44) Look, the meaning of my existence is still unclear.
  17.  
  18. (0:52) And with that, VR VTuber Music Radio has begun!
  19. (0:55) I'm your host, Atsuko Uchida.
  20. (0:56) This show spotlights VTubers—virtual creators who post videos and stream online using illustrated or CG avatars.
  21. (1:00) It's a music program that showcases various VTuber songs
  22. (1:05) and welcomes popular VTubers and creators as guests to spread the appeal of VTuber music to the world.
  23.  
  24. (1:15) Joining me today as my co-host is...
  25. (1:18) the sparkling star in the VTuber world, the virtual idol herself,
  26. (1:22) Suisei Hoshimachi!
  27. (1:26) Suichan, as always, you're adorable.
  28.  
  29. (1:28) Thank you, Tamiyo!
  30. (1:30) Acting as Tamiyo, you're doing great!
  31. (1:32) I'm glad you picked up on that!
  32. (1:34) Thank you. I'm honored!
  33. (1:36) But, uh, it doesn't feel intimidating enough.
  34. (1:37) Are you really "Tamiyo"?
  35.  
  36. (1:40) I'm glad you understood, though.
  37. (1:42) Anyway, today’s guest is Suisei Hoshimachi,
  38. (1:45) a beloved Hololive member and one of the most iconic VTuber singers.
  39. (1:49) Thank you for being here, Suichan!
  40.  
  41. (1:51) Let’s start by introducing a listener's message.
  42. (1:55) This is from Ikuchan, a male in his teens.
  43. (1:58) "Suichan, Gucci, good evening!
  44. (2:01) I'm part of the organizing committee for a choir competition in December.
  45. (2:06) I've never taken on a role like this before, and I’m nervous about leading everyone effectively.
  46. (2:09) Do you have any advice on how to manage or lead a group?"
  47.  
  48. (2:16) So, this is about leadership.
  49. (2:18) Speaking of leadership, Suichan, you've excelled as the leader of Hololive's dance project,
  50. (2:22) the Hoshimatic Project.
  51. (2:26) You’re often in a position of managing others. Any advice to share?
  52.  
  53. (2:32) The Hoshimatic Project operates on the concept of me doing what I want to do.
  54. (2:41) I have full decision-making authority.
  55. (2:44) While I take everyone's input into account,
  56. (2:49) once a decision is made, I ensure it remains final without wavering.
  57.  
  58. (2:55) If you keep second-guessing,
  59. (2:56) everyone starts wondering, "What are we actually supposed to do?"
  60. (3:00) While some people might think, "I prefer this other option,"
  61. (3:05) you need them to set that aside and follow your lead.
  62. (3:12) Otherwise, they'll feel stuck in their own opinions.
  63. (3:18) So, standing firm on final decisions is key.
  64.  
  65. (3:22) That’s really important.
  66. (3:24) Wise words, indeed!
  67.  
  68. (3:27) To wrap up, could you give some encouragement to Ikuchan?
  69.  
  70. (3:31) Ikuchan, your choices will guide everyone.
  71. (3:36) Lead like a king and give it your all!
  72.  
  73. (3:42) And now, we’d like to introduce a song from the Hoshimatic Project.
  74. (3:47) Suichan, please introduce the track.
  75.  
  76. (3:48) Sure! Here it is:
  77. (3:50) "Get the Crown" by the Hoshimatic Project.
  78.  
  79. (Song begins)
  80.  
  81. (4:23) Crossing limits beyond borders, whose words are these?
  82. (4:27) Tired clichés won’t reach me.
  83. (4:31) No friends, no friends; they can’t touch me.
  84. (4:34) It’s up to me, all I gotta be.
  85.  
  86. (4:38) Hey, go—keep moving forward.
  87. (4:41) I charge ahead, unstoppable.
  88. (4:45) The higher the wall, the better.
  89.  
  90. (4:52) I’ll grab the crown with these hands.
  91. (4:56) I don’t need anything handed to me.
  92. (5:00) Stand up if you want more.
  93. (5:03) Yesterday’s self doesn’t interest me.
  94.  
  95. (5:07) Look into the future.
  96. (5:08) I’ll create it myself.
  97. (5:11) I’ll aim for glory.
  98.  
  99. (5:15) Grab the crown with these hands.
  100. (5:19) I can’t be stopped.
  101.  
  102. (Song ends)
  103.  
  104. (5:24) That was "Get the Crown" by the Hoshimatic Project.
  105. (5:28) It’s an original track by Suisei Hoshimachi’s unit.
  106. (5:32) Lyrics and composition are by Chihiro Tamaki.
  107. (5:35) I was deeply involved in its production.
  108. (5:39) From selecting it during the competition to tweaking the intro,
  109. (5:43) and even giving directions on how I wanted it sung,
  110. (5:48) I had a lot of input in shaping the final piece.
  111.  
  112. (5:56) It reflects decision-making and responsibility at its core.
  113. (6:02) I’m very proud of the result.
  114.  
  115. (6:03) This program is broadcast in mono.
  116. (6:07) To hear the original songs with their intended sound quality,
  117. (6:12) please check subscription services or platforms like YouTube.
  118.  
  119. (6:18) We’re also accepting song recommendations from listeners.
  120. (6:21) Use our website form or post on X (formerly Twitter) with #VR.
  121. (6:27) Feel free to share feedback, questions, or messages!
  122. (6:30) We’re also welcoming comments, messages, and questions or advice requests for us.
  123. (6:35) Let’s keep the excitement going together!
  124.  
  125. (6:54) Now, let’s dive into the favorite song recommendations from our listeners!
  126. (6:59) Here’s a message from listener Tansetsu Hanpen, a female in her teens.
  127. (7:02) "My favorite song is Thank You for the Encounter by Sumeshi-gumi.
  128. (7:07) I listen to this song several times a day.
  129. (7:10) As a huge fan of Sumeshi-gumi, I feel like the lyrics of this song really reflect the relationship among the three members.
  130. (7:15) Their singing is so amazing that it lifts my spirits even when I’m feeling down.
  131. (7:19) Suichan, I hope listening to this makes you feel energized too!"
  132. (7:21) "Energized—definitely!"
  133.  
  134. (7:22) Such an adorable message!
  135. (7:25) This request is for an original song by the Sumeshi-gumi unit,
  136. (7:28) which features Nijisanji members Hirose Fuyuki,
  137. (7:29) Yorumi Rena, and Kagami Hayato.
  138. (7:32) Let’s take a listen to Thank You for the Encounter!
  139.  
  140. (15:01) (Song ends)
  141. (15:04) It’s such a strong idol presence!
  142. (15:11) Their visuals feel distinct compared to Japan’s VTuber culture—
  143. (15:14) almost more grounded in reality.
  144. (15:18) I think we’ll see more groups like this in the future.
  145. (15:23) It feels like they’re pioneering this trend.
  146. (15:26) I’d love to see more of this in Japan as well.
  147. (15:30) It really feels like a fresh wave of innovation is coming!
  148.  
  149. (15:30) So far, we’ve been featuring the favorite songs of our listeners.
  150. (15:33) Up next, it’s time for the Creator Spotlight segment!
  151.  
  152. (15:46) NHK Radio 1 presents VR VTuber Music Radio.
  153. (15:52) Continuing on VR VTuber Music Radio, here’s the next segment:
  154. (15:56) Creators' Voice, also known as Cribo!
  155. (16:00) Cribo!
  156. (16:01) Cribo!
  157.  
  158. (16:05) This is the segment where we invite the incredible composers who support the VTuber music scene
  159. (16:10) to dive into their creative philosophies and inspirations—this is the Creator Spotlight: Cribo!
  160. (16:15) So far, we’ve had amazing guests like Takui Noe-san, Tsumiki-san, and Natori-san.
  161. (16:19) It’s a popular feature where we get to hear valuable insights from these creators.
  162. (16:22) Every time, I learn so much from these episodes.
  163.  
  164. (16:27) All right, let’s bring out today’s guest!
  165. (16:32) The creator for this session is...
  166. (16:34) Vocaloid producer Kanaria! Welcome!
  167. (16:37) Thank you for having me.
  168. (16:38) Glad to be here!
  169.  
  170. (16:43) So, our guest today is Kanaria, the Vocaloid producer.
  171. (16:46) Let me reintroduce their profile.
  172. (16:49) They began their activities in May 2020 at the age of 17.
  173. (16:52) Just three months later, their track King exploded in popularity,
  174. (16:57) skyrocketing them to fame at the speed of light.
  175. (17:00) A true young genius of Vocaloid music!
  176.  
  177. (17:03) They’ve collaborated with our very own MC, Suichan,
  178. (17:06) and have provided music for talents like Murasaki Shion from Hololive
  179. (17:08) and Chronoir from Nijisanji, making a huge impact in the VTuber music scene.
  180.  
  181. (17:16) Then, on August 24 this year, Kanaria made waves again.
  182. (17:18) What caused the sensation?
  183. (17:21) The announcement that Kanaria had become a VTuber!
  184. (17:25) They began streaming activities in their virtual form,
  185. (17:28) which became a hot topic in the community.
  186.  
  187. (17:30) Today, we welcome Kanaria, the brilliant music creator
  188. (17:34) and newly debuted VTuber, for an in-depth chat about VTuber music.
  189. (17:37) Thank you for being here!
  190.  
  191. (17:41) Thank you so much!
  192. (17:44) I’m feeling a little nervous right now.
  193. (17:46) You’re calling me a “brilliant music creator” and all...
  194. (17:50) But it’s true!
  195. (17:52) You really are a young genius!
  196. (17:54) Please go easy on me today.
  197.  
  198. (17:57) Suichan, you and Kanaria have released two collaborative tracks:
  199. (18:00) REQUIEM and NEVERFICTION.
  200. (18:04) Is it true that it’s been a while since you last met?
  201.  
  202. (18:07) Well, Kanaria came to see my performance in Saitama.
  203. (18:10) I was invited to visit backstage,
  204. (18:12) and we talked briefly.
  205. (18:14) Do you remember what we talked about?
  206.  
  207. (18:16) You were amazing—that’s what I said!
  208. (18:21) That’s right, I remember now!
  209. (18:23) Oh, and I made a mistake in the lyrics for NEVERFICTION during the performance,
  210. (18:28) and I apologized to Kanaria.
  211. (18:31) I didn’t even notice!
  212. (18:32) You were so confident on stage.
  213.  
  214. (18:36) At first, there wasn’t much information about Kanaria, was there?
  215. (18:41) Like, no one knew if you were male or female,
  216. (18:42) or what kind of personality you had.
  217. (18:45) But as we got to know each other...
  218. (18:52) I realized something:
  219. (18:54) You’re unhealthy.
  220. (18:56) I feel like I need to make you healthy.
  221. (18:59) I have this maternal urge to take care of you.
  222.  
  223. (19:01) Are you really that unhealthy?
  224. (19:04) I wouldn’t exactly call myself healthy.
  225. (19:06) Every time we meet, Suichan asks, “What did you eat today?”
  226. (19:11) “Eat something nutritious!”
  227. (19:13) She really wants me to eat healthy food.
  228.  
  229. (19:16) All right, let’s move on to a request message from a listener!
  230. (19:20) This is from Dot Comet-san, a teenage male.
  231. (19:24) My favorite song is REQUIEM by Hoshimachi Suisei and Kanaria.
  232. (19:26) Kanaria’s fast-paced, insanely cool track combined
  233. (19:28) with Suichan’s clear and stunning voice electrifies my whole body.
  234. (19:36) It’s like mixing dangerous chemicals—you shouldn’t do it!
  235.  
  236. (19:42) Wow, that’s a great comment.
  237. (19:44) This is a request for REQUIEM,
  238. (19:46) the first collaborative song between Kanaria and Suichan, released in April last year.
  239.  
  240. (19:49) That song was...
  241. (19:50) Actually written as a CM song.
  242. (19:54) I wanted it to be a duet between a male and female voice,
  243. (19:57) so I reached out to Suichan to collaborate,
  244. (20:00) and that’s how the song came to be.
  245.  
  246. (20:03) So it was initiated by Kanaria?
  247. (20:05) Yes, and I was so happy to be approached by them!
  248. (20:08) Would you like to wrap it up, Kanaria-san?
  249. (20:10) Why me?
  250. (20:12) Because I really love your voice.
  251. (20:16) That’s flattering.
  252. (20:18) For people of all ages and genders…
  253. (20:20) I think everyone would fall in love with it.
  254. (20:22) Your singing style conveys so much emotion, but…
  255. (20:29) It doesn’t feel overbearing or forced.
  256. (20:31) It’s truly unique.
  257. (20:33) Kanaria-chan.
  258. (20:36) Then, Kanaria-san, could you please introduce the next song?
  259. (20:39) Alright, here’s a request from Dot Comment-san.
  260. (20:42) It’s Requiem, featuring Hoshimachi Suisei by Kanaria.
  261.  
  262. (22:36) Let’s take this momentum to talk about another collaboration song between Kanaria-san and Suisei-san.
  263. (22:41) This time, it’s about Never Fiction.
  264. (22:43) This track was released this August.
  265. (22:45) Could you tell us how this second collaboration came to be after Requiem?
  266. (22:48) When I watched Hoshimachi-san’s stream…
  267. (22:55) She mentioned that the key in Requiem was quite high, and I thought, “True, it is.”
  268. (23:02) So, for the next song, I decided to lower the key range a bit…
  269. (23:09) And create something with a completely different vibe from Requiem.
  270. (23:12) I’ve always wanted to make another duet song.
  271. (23:17) So I reached out to her.
  272. (23:19) I’m so glad! You were thinking about me.
  273. (23:21) That’s why Never Fiction was so easy to sing.
  274. (23:25) My main goal was to make something entirely distinct from Requiem.
  275. (23:30) I worked hard to ensure the sound design was also different.
  276. (23:35) It’s true; it felt completely different.
  277. (23:38) It had a sort of R&B vibe…
  278. (23:40) That’s exactly it.
  279. (23:43) That’s the impression I got.
  280. (23:45) Kanaria-san, you were present during the recording, right?
  281. (23:49) Yes, I directed it.
  282. (23:52) I go by “Director AI Kanaria” (laughs).
  283. (23:55) Since I’m experienced in adjusting Vocaloid voices…
  284. (23:58) I have a lot of specific requests, like, “Add a scoop here,” or…
  285. (24:01) “Make this part breathier.”
  286. (24:06) For example, “Use chest voice until here, then switch to falsetto,”
  287. (24:09) Or, “Add a scoop at this point.”
  288. (24:13) I deliver really precise instructions.
  289. (24:16) They execute them perfectly.
  290. (24:20) Then I just confirm, like, “How about this?”
  291. (24:21) And they’re like, “Great, let’s do five more takes like that.”
  292. (24:25) Exactly (laughs).
  293. (24:27) But honestly, no matter how Hoshimachi-san sings,
  294. (24:30) It’s always so cool and amazing.
  295. (24:33) Beyond that, it’s a matter of personal preference, like…
  296. (24:37) “I prefer pattern B over pattern A.”
  297. (24:41) That’s how I usually suggest things, and she’s very receptive.
  298. (24:45) Alright, now let’s hear Never Fiction in full.
  299. (24:49) Kanaria-san, please introduce the track.
  300. (24:51) Certainly. Please enjoy Never Fiction featuring Hoshimachi Suisei by Kanaria.
  301.  
  302. (26:40) You’ve just heard Never Fiction by Kanaria featuring Hoshimachi Suisei.
  303. (26:46) This track, released in August,
  304. (26:48) Was written and composed by Kanaria-san.
  305. (26:51) When I first received it, I thought, “What an amazing song!”
  306. (26:54) I started to solidify my interpretation of it and…
  307. (26:58) Approached the recording with that mindset.
  308. (26:59) Kanaria-san recorded her parts afterward, right?
  309. (27:03) Yes, I usually record at home and finalize everything myself.
  310. (27:22) It’s like a home studio with professional-grade equipment.
  311. (27:27) I heard you’re a gear enthusiast?
  312. (27:30) That’s not wrong.
  313. (27:31) I see (laughs).
  314.  
  315. (27:35) Next, let’s listen to a cover that’s a must-mention when discussing Kanaria-san and VTuber music.
  316. (27:43) First, we have a request message from a listener.
  317. (27:46) Mei-san, a woman in her 20s, writes:
  318. (27:49) “My favorite song is Kuzuha’s King.
  319. (27:51) I love all his songs, but this one is my absolute favorite.”
  320. (27:56) This is a cover of Kanaria’s iconic track King,
  321. (27:58) Performed by Nijisanji’s Kuzuha in 2020.
  322. (28:02) It’s one of the most popular covers in the VTuber scene, with over 50 million views.
  323. (28:10) What does this song mean to you, Kanaria-san?
  324. (28:13) I think King is an essential song when discussing VTuber covers.
  325. (28:16) Kuzuha-san himself is like the “king” of male VTubers,
  326. (28:21) So his character matches perfectly with the song.
  327. (28:26) I’ve been listening to it a lot.
  328. (28:33) Does Kuzuha-san know this?
  329. (28:35) Probably not.
  330. (28:37) Kuzuha, are you listening?
  331. (28:39) I hope he is.
  332. (28:42) It really fits his image.
  333. (28:45) I deeply respect Kuzuha-san myself, and…
  334. (28:49) Among male VTubers, he’s truly a king.
  335. (28:53) He’s at the top.
  336. (28:56) So when I heard the cover, I thought, “This is King.”
  337. (29:00) It was because of this cover that I…
  338. (29:05) Had the courage to ask Kuzuha-san to do a cover.
  339. (29:06) I knew this track needed to be his.
  340. (29:10) I wanted that regal aura,
  341. (29:12) And only Kuzuha-san could embody it.
  342. (29:18) Now, Kanaria-san, please introduce the song.
  343. (29:21) Here’s Mei-san’s request: King by Kuzuha.
  344.  
  345. +(30:00)
  346. (1:00) "That's how it is, right?"
  347. (1:01) "Totally, totally."
  348. (1:01) "And that's where a person's personal touch really comes out."
  349. (1:05) "Oh, Suisei-san, you’ve also sung KING, haven’t you?"
  350. (1:07) "How was it when you tried singing it?"
  351. (1:10) "I lowered it by three keys from the original."
  352. (1:13) "And then I thought, ‘Oh, this feels just right to sing.’"
  353. (1:17) "I felt like I could bring out a bit of that KING vibe in myself."
  354. (1:20) "So I worked hard to sing it."
  355. (1:22) "As for Kaibutsu (Monster), I took like 100 takes for real."
  356. (1:25) "What? Seriously?"
  357. (1:27) "I couldn’t decide—should it be calm? Should it be intense? Should it be playful?"
  358. (1:31) "I spent a lot of time worrying about which one was best, but now I’m happy with the one that's out there."
  359. (1:36) "Ah, I see!"
  360. (1:38) "Kanaria-san, have you listened to Suisei-san’s covers?"
  361. (1:42) "Oh, of course, yes, I have."
  362. (1:43) "I really like her voice. It’s very cool."
  363. (1:48) "And yes, even with her Kaibutsu cover."
  364. (1:49) "Since it’s originally a Vocaloid song, there isn’t really a definitive way to express certain emotions."
  365. (1:54) "It’s up to the artist’s interpretation."
  366. (1:58) "But Suisei-san’s interpretation of Kaibutsu totally aligned with mine."
  367. (2:00) "I’m so happy to hear that!"
  368. (2:02) "Glad I chose that version."
  369. (2:07) "Do you often watch cover videos of your own songs, Kanaria-san?"
  370. (2:11) "Yes, I do."
  371. (2:13) "Sometimes they even pop up in YouTube’s recommendations."
  372. (2:14) "Also, I’m personally a big fan of streamers and VTubers as a genre."
  373. (2:21) "So I listen to a lot of different people."
  374. (2:26) "From Hololive, I particularly love Omaru Polka-san’s Envy Baby and Laplus Darkness-san’s Demon Lord."
  375. (2:30) "They really fit their personalities, don’t they?"
  376. (2:35) "Yes, the themes match so perfectly."
  377. (2:38) "It’s like the songs were tailor-made for them."
  378. (2:41) "Exactly what I thought when I watched them too."
  379. (2:44) "So, Kanaria-san, I’d like to ask you a question."
  380. (2:47) "What do you think is the unique charm of VTuber music?"
  381. (2:52) "Well, it’s definitely how the VTubers’ character traits and personalities."
  382. (2:57) "And their songs create a mutual relationship that enhances both."
  383. (3:02) "That interplay makes it incredibly compelling."
  384. (3:05) "It’s not just the music itself; it’s also the MV production."
  385. (3:10) "Because of their unique world-building, they can do things others can’t."
  386. (3:13) "Thinking about all that while watching makes it so interesting."
  387. (3:19) "True."
  388. (3:20) "With VTubers, unlike real-world artists, you have so many different species and concepts."
  389. (3:24) "Beast people, demons, aliens, and so on."
  390. (3:26) "There are just so many."
  391. (3:29) "I think everyone tries to choose songs that best suit their attributes."
  392. (3:36) "Don’t you think so?"
  393. (3:39) "When you’re creating songs for others, Kanaria-san."
  394. (3:45) "Do you also consider their character traits?"
  395. (3:47) "Oh, absolutely."
  396. (3:48) "That’s probably the aspect I value the most."
  397. (3:49) "While creating, having those character traits in mind."
  398. (3:54) "Actually inspires ideas that I wouldn’t normally think of."
  399. (4:02) "So it’s really fascinating."
  400. (4:03) "Alright, now let’s hear one of the songs that embodies VTuber music’s unique charm."
  401. (4:07) "Kanaria-san, which song is it?"
  402. (4:10) "Yes, it’s a song I composed for Chronoir called Bloody Groovy."
  403. (4:13) "Chronoir is a unit under Nijisanji, featuring Kanae-san and Kuzuha-san."
  404. (4:17) "What did you focus on when creating Bloody Groovy?"
  405. (4:25) "Before starting, I had a meeting with them."
  406. (4:28) "They asked me not to write for Kanae-san or Kuzuha-san individually."
  407. (4:31) "But to focus on the world of Chronoir as a unit."
  408. (4:34) "That was challenging."
  409. (4:36) "Their world involves vampires and newspapers, right?"
  410. (4:46) "Kanaria-san, could you introduce the song for us?"
  411. (4:54) "Yes, here it is, Bloody Groovy by Chronoir."
  412. (5:16) [Lyrics from the song]
  413. (5:53) "You’ve just heard Bloody Groovy by Chronoir, a Nijisanji duo."
  414. (5:56) "This song, released in 2022, was composed by Kanaria-san."
  415. (6:08) "For this song, I normally wouldn’t repeat the chorus melody as much."
  416. (6:10) "But with their voices, it really works. It even elevates the coolness factor."
  417. (6:13) "So I decided to go with that structure."
  418. (6:16) "It turned out amazing."
  419. (6:18) "Their expressive abilities are truly outstanding."
  420. (6:26) "Kanaria-san, you recently debuted as a VTuber in August."
  421. (6:33) "Can you share why you decided to become a VTuber?"
  422. (6:42) "Well, at first, I wasn’t sure if I could even call myself a VTuber."
  423. (6:46) "But the main reason I came forward was to address impersonation issues."
  424. (6:52) "Also, I’ve always admired artists who maintain anonymity."
  425. (7:04) "This style felt like the best way to balance being visible while staying true to that ideal."
  426. (7:16) "I was also looking to challenge myself with something new."
  427. (7:24) "After making music every day for so long, I felt like I needed a fresh start."
  428. (7:42) "How has it been since you started VTuber activities?"
  429. (7:46) "It’s been so much fun, but also really challenging."
  430. (8:01) "Long streams, for example—those are tough!"
  431. (8:10) "I have so much respect for people who do it all day."
  432. (8:15) "Since Suisei-san is a veteran VTuber, do you have any advice?"
  433. (8:25) "What’s something you’ve always held firm to?"
  434. (8:35) "Doing what I want to do, no matter what."
  435. (8:47) "Listening to fans is important, but staying true to yourself is essential."
  436. (9:35) "That’s such inspiring advice."
  437. (9:57) "Now, Kanaria-san, could you recommend a VTuber song from your perspective as a creator?"
  438. (10:08) "I recommend KAF’s Eating the Past."
  439. (10:13) "I love Kanzaki Iori’s compositions, and KAF’s voice makes this song unforgettable."
  440. (10:16) And then, combined with KAF’s truly emotional and heart-stirring voice,
  441. (10:22) I think it’s a song that really leaves a deep impression on your heart.
  442. (10:25) Now, Kanaria-san, please introduce the song.
  443. (10:28) Alright, let’s listen to it.
  444. (10:30) Here’s KAF with "Kakowokurau" (Devouring the Past).
  445.  
  446. (11:06) Thinking that someone must be to blame,
  447. (11:09) I didn’t even notice when my footing gave way.
  448. (11:13) What were dreams and hopes supposed to be?
  449. (11:16) Was this what I wanted to do?
  450. (11:19) The past is waiting for us.
  451. (11:21) Waiting with an accusing expression.
  452. (11:24) If there were no loneliness or sorrow,
  453. (11:29) I wouldn’t have sung these songs every time the night died.
  454. (11:34) If your smile were here,
  455. (11:37) I wouldn’t have given up.
  456. (11:40) Because I remember your words,
  457. (11:42) I didn’t need any comfort.
  458. (11:45) Because I only ever recall the meaning of living,
  459. (11:47) I constantly doubted kindness.
  460. (11:50) If I could have laughed at your tears,
  461. (11:52) I wouldn’t have known shame even now.
  462. (11:55) Don’t let blessings waste away.
  463. (11:57) The torn-up diploma turned into a night sky, waiting.
  464. (12:02) I devoured the past completely.
  465.  
  466. (12:32) Opening
  467.  
  468. (13:03) By the way, how long has it been since you last went outside?
  469. (13:07) About half a month, I think.
  470. (13:10) I hadn’t gone out at all since it ended.
  471. (13:13) I really haven’t gone out properly.
  472. (13:15) Please continue to take care of your health.
  473. (13:18) Yes, please stay healthy.
  474. (13:19) And thank you for being here today.
  475. (13:20) Our guest today was Kanaria-san.
  476. (13:23) Thank you very much.
  477. (13:24) Thank you so much.
  478.  
  479. (13:41) Alright, from here, we’re back to listener song recommendations.
  480. (13:45) This is from a listener named Rigu, a man in his 40s.
  481. (13:48) My recommended song is Rokarorin-san’s cover of Ghost (Piano Version) by Hoshimachi Suisei.
  482. (13:55) It’s incredible how expressive their singing voice is—you wouldn’t think their native language isn’t Japanese.
  483. (14:00) I’d love for everyone to give it a listen.
  484. (14:03) Alright, let’s listen to it now.
  485. (14:04) Here’s Rokarorin with Ghost (Piano Version).
  486.  
  487. (15:58) It feels like I've been letting this proof lie dormant all this time.
  488. (16:10) That was Ghost (Piano Version) by Rokarorin.
  489. (16:16) Rokarorin, a member of the idol group EN,
  490. (16:18) released this cover of our MC Suichan’s song in February this year,
  491. (16:22) rearranged for piano and sung in a cover style.
  492. (16:25) Wow.
  493. (16:26) Amazing!
  494. (16:27) It really hits you.
  495. (16:29) There are little changes and arrangements added to the way they sing.
  496. (16:33) And I thought, "This feels so professional."
  497. (16:38) It’s really great to see a song that can reach even distant places like this.
  498. (16:43) It makes me happy that we’re able to deliver such music.
  499. (16:47) I definitely want to keep an eye on Rokarorin.
  500. (16:52) Now, the VRVTuber music radio show is almost at its end.
  501. (16:56) What a lively night, the warriors are taking a rest and gearing up for the next battle.

  507. (17:23) Now, to wrap things up, we’ll leave you with a special performance of King by today’s guest, Kanaria,
  508. (17:28) sung in an original arrangement by Suichan for this program.
  509. (17:30) Suichan, please introduce the song.
  510. (17:34) Yes, here’s tonight’s ending song.
  511. (17:37) King by Hoshimachi Suisei, VR special arrangement version.
  512. (17:42) Look forward to the next episode!
