241213 Suisei Zatsudan post-Spectra of Nova Ookini Arena (Osaka)

0:10
A new beginning.

0:21
It’s dazzling.

0:26
Together we’ll face the light.

0:43
(Music playing)

1:00
Unafraid, racing toward the light that changes everything.

1:10
Reaching for what lies beyond.

1:19
(Music and applause)

1:27
Let’s do this together.

1:36
Don’t be afraid.

2:02
The glow of the monitor is uninspiring. Let’s soar.

2:09
(Music playing)

2:19
(Music continues)

2:28
(Applause) The surface reflects the longing for change.

2:37
Reaching for light that fills the heart, continuous beams illuminate, leading us toward the future.

2:46
Surprises along the journey bring us together.

2:54
(Music continues)

3:08
(Music)

3:20
(Music)

3:35
(Music)

3:42
Yes.

4:29
It has begun.

4:34
Wait, is the BGM too loud? Or is my voice too soft? Well, I won’t raise my voice too much.

4:43
Okay, let’s lower the BGM volume. (Music playing) Good evening, everyone.

4:50
Appearing like a comet, Suisei here.

4:55
Wow, cute as always. Wait, is my voice really soft? Let’s take care of our throats!

5:03
This should be fine, right? How is it? Does it sound better now?

5:11
Wait, OBS seems to be set to low volume.

5:18
How’s this? Did the live go well?

5:26
Thank you! It seems to be sounding better now.

5:32
Alright, everyone, long time no see!

5:37
Although, it hasn’t been that long.

5:42
Wow, I’m exhausted. Back-to-back events are tiring.

5:50
Yeah, two consecutive days of live performances. This back-and-forth schedule is crazy.

5:57
How’s your health? Are you holding up?

6:05
I’m fine! I even had a Rikuro’s Cheesecake Party afterward.

6:14
While having the party, I was thinking, “I was doing a live performance just a while ago, wasn’t I?”

6:22
Yesterday’s solo live feels like a blur now.

6:30
I barely had time to enjoy it, honestly. But I really wanted to visit Spa World.

6:36
But this month, when I went with Comet-san, it was the same Asian bath theme as before.

6:44
I really wanted to see the “Blue Grotto,” but it wasn’t there.

6:54
It wasn’t what I was expecting at all!

7:00
Today isn’t about bananas, though.

7:08
Anyway, today I want to do an after-talk for the Osaka show. Thank you for joining me!

7:17
I’ll share my thoughts briefly.

7:25
Oh, by the way, I’ll be sharing the setlist, so if you’re planning to attend the Fukuoka show and don’t want spoilers, please don’t watch!

7:39
Banana time is over.

7:45
There wasn’t even time for bananas this time.

7:51
Suisei’s go-to isn’t pork buns but meat buns, right?

7:57
I’m not used to saying “pork bun.”

8:03
I usually just say “meat bun.” Even after returning home, my sister and I talked about 551’s meat buns.

8:25
551 is so good; you have to try it!

8:32
I ate some, but where should I even start talking about everything?

8:37
I didn’t know the management was preparing a visual of the setlist. So today, I’ll use that to guide the discussion.

8:45
Here we go! The Osaka show was held at Maishima Arena as part of the “Spectra of Nova” tour.

9:00
Here’s the setlist! This time, we had KAF-chan as a guest, as previously announced, but Tsukishita was a surprise guest!

9:18
I bet you were shocked, weren’t you?

9:24
(Music playing)

9:30
Totally surprising, right?

9:37
Performing “Phony” live is beyond difficult; it’s all synced.

9:44
It’s not something I could sing live, honestly.

9:52
The beats and rhythm are all pre-recorded audio.

9:59
That’s how we made it work.

10:06
Anyway, I have so much to talk about regarding “Phony,” but let’s go in order.

10:12
First, let me talk about my journey to Osaka.

10:19
I traveled to Osaka without taking motion sickness medicine.

10:35
Usually, I have to take a strong dose because I get incredibly motion sick, even on swings.

10:42
But strong medication dries out my throat and affects my voice.

11:00
So I decided to endure the nausea rather than risk my voice before the live.

11:18
Of course, I ended up feeling nauseous, but I managed somehow.

12:03
I’ll have to prepare better for the Fukuoka show—maybe try milder remedies like candy-based motion sickness meds.

13:03
When everything aligns—good sleep, proper meals—I might manage without heavy medication.

14:12
Despite everything, my throat was fine for the performance, which was a relief.

15:03
But my body’s reactions are so complex—it’s always one thing or another!

15:10
There were probably differences in humidity, you know, right before the live show.

15:15
Yeah, the dryness was crazy right before the live.

15:29
The air was just so dry. Plus, it was morning, so my throat was all scratchy. But compared to Saitama, I thought my voice might gradually improve as the day went on, and circulation picked up.

15:45
I kept telling myself it’d get better like it did back then, but the dryness was so bad.

15:58
Did the atmospheric pressure affect you?
Yeah, it wasn’t good at all.

16:06
But that’s normal for me, so I just had to deal with it and push forward like always.

16:13
That’s how it’s going to be from now on too.

16:19
But really, the dryness was terrible. I kept using my humidifier non-stop.

16:30
What about your throat care routine?
I usually start limiting how much I talk about three days before a live show and pay close attention to humidity. That’s about it.

16:45
On the day itself, I make sure my throat doesn’t get dry. But in the morning, my voice is always in bad shape, so I don’t strain it too much. I use my humidifier constantly.

17:05
The waiting room was ridiculously dry, though.

17:11
And for some reason, I felt like it was kind of dusty—though maybe that’s a bit of a negative way to put it.

17:22
It’s an older building, so it might have accumulated some dust. I mean, I’m trying not to be too critical, but...

17:42
It felt like the place had some kind of “energy” to it.

17:52
Oh, like house dust?
Yeah, maybe.

18:00
So I just kept using my humidifier.

18:08
Why didn’t you choose Osaka-jo Hall?
Oh, probably because it wasn’t available.

18:16
Maybe there was another event booked there, or some scheduling conflict?

18:26
It felt like a gymnasium, didn’t it?

18:31
I don’t know the exact reason; that’s just my guess.

18:38
What about Kyocera Dome?
Oh no, it’s way too early for me to do a dome tour after just finishing an arena tour.

18:48
There are various reasons for these decisions, I guess.

18:55
But one good thing about the arena was that the waiting room was close to the stage.

19:02
At Saitama Super Arena, it was so far away. It was like, “How far do we have to walk?”

19:15
Yeah, it was ridiculously far, but at least here it was close. That made me really happy.

19:23
It was warm too. Maybe that’s why it was so dry, but it was warm, so I appreciated that.

19:36
We brought in so many humidifiers, and the staff was super accommodating. When I told them about the dryness, they brought a ton of humidifiers for us.

19:50
They even placed humidifiers backstage to keep my throat in decent shape.

20:10
With all that moisture, I joked, “Won’t mold start growing at this rate?”

20:16
Like, I might get moldy myself!

20:24
But honestly, they really went above and beyond for me.

20:29
Still, as always, in the morning, I felt like, “I can’t sing. My voice isn’t coming out. This is bad.”

20:41
It’s the usual, “Oh no, I’m doomed” feeling.

20:52
Then I did some vocal exercises and warm-ups.

21:04
Kafu-chan was so energetic, though!

21:12
I wasn’t feeling energetic at all, so I couldn’t really chat with her or anyone else.

21:18
Is Kafu-chan a morning person?
Yeah, she said she is.

21:28
That’s great. I was envious because I couldn’t even manage to have a proper conversation with her.

21:35
No takoyaki party for everyone?
Nope, no takoyaki party.

21:51
Kafu-chan was so hyped because it was her first time in Osaka, I think.

22:05
Back in the waiting room, I kept wondering if I’d be okay. Then, out of nowhere, takoyaki arrived!

22:19
As soon as I saw it, my mood lifted. “Takoyaki! Let’s eat!”

22:27
Even though I’d had a light breakfast—just a sandwich and some miso soup—I couldn’t resist the takoyaki.

22:49
It wasn’t from Kukuru or Wanaka, the ones I usually like. The sauce tasted unique, and it was delicious!

23:44
After eating, I gradually started feeling better. My throat was still a bit off, but I kept warming up.

24:55
The walls in the waiting room were so thin that I could hear everything from the next room. Even knocks on the door would confuse me—was it for us or them?

25:26
After recharging with takoyaki, I focused on adjusting my voice.

26:06
I did some exercises that are supposed to be good for the throat.

27:05
Finally, during the performance, I thought, “Wait, I can sing! My voice feels good!”

27:49
It was much easier to sing compared to Saitama.

28:24
During "Sexy," I worried whether the audience would know the song since it hasn’t been included in the album yet. But they joined in with the chorus, and I was so grateful.

29:09
For “Awake,” I tried a softer, more mature approach, different from how I performed it in Saitama.

30:06
Also, “Jibunkatte Dazzling” was nostalgic because it was the first song I ever practiced with my dance teacher, Yuka-sensei.

30:12
So, that’s the kind of story I was talking about.

30:19
I think this was the first time I asked Ara-sensei to choreograph something.

30:25
It was because of "Ni Karasade" (a song), and since we had to make an MV for it, I had to learn it first.

30:34
This was the very first one I worked on, so I practiced it the most.

30:43
I have strong memories of practicing this the hardest.

30:49
When we did the choreography revision a few months ago,

30:55
I wondered if I still remembered it. But when I tried, I could dance it perfectly. My body remembered it.

31:03
Like, "This part goes like this, and this part goes like that." It just came back to me.

31:14
I remembered it so well. However, as for "Se Te Mu"... I completely forgot it. It was the worst!

31:21
It was seriously the worst.

31:28
Regarding "Dazzling," I was really happy and felt emotional about it.

31:36
Compared to how I performed it during the first time, I think I've gotten better at dancing it now.

31:48
I might even be better now than when we made the MV.

32:01
So I hope you compare my performance from the first time and this tour.

32:07
It turned out great.

32:14
I'm so happy that every time you see me, you say, "Dazzling was good."

32:23
That makes me really happy, like, seriously.

32:31
But, to be honest, I haven't been doing fundamental dance training.

32:41
I should probably go, but instead, I only take dance lessons to learn choreography.

32:50
That's how it is every time. I go to lessons solely to learn specific choreographies.

32:56
They teach you things like, "Raise your hips this high for this part," or "This angle should be like this."

33:03
Through each piece of choreography, I gain little bits of experience.

33:10
So, yeah, my growth is very gradual.

33:20
But I observe myself in the mirror, thinking things like,

33:26
"This movement looks uncool," or "This angle doesn't look good."

33:31
And I try to improve those aspects little by little.

33:38
That's the approach I’m taking, and I plan to keep getting better.

33:47
You could call it a hands-on approach. But it’s also because of scheduling constraints.

33:56
Someone like Rigurou-chan does proper fundamental lessons.

34:04
And she was amazing right from the start! I was so impressed.

34:16
I'm really bad at isolations.

34:22
I think it was during the EN Live, when we performed High Tide.

34:38
You know, that one part where you have to do the wave-like isolation.

34:49
For some reason, I found that part so difficult. I was like, "How do I even do this?"

34:57
I asked Be-chan, "How do you do this part? Do you use your chest instead of your neck?"

35:08
And Be-chan was like, "You do it like this." She taught me.

35:17
Thank you, Be-chan!

35:25
I was surrounded by amazing dancers, feeling like I was going to die from the pressure.

35:32
So, I think practicing isolations or basic techniques would be good for me.

35:38
While thinking that, I’m doing my best every day.

35:45
I’ll keep improving my dance skills!

35:51
As for "Starlight Jet," I was still pretty wobbly, but I felt a bit more confident this time in Osaka.

36:00
Maybe it’s thanks to strength training.

36:11
It was fun! The second time was tougher, right?

36:17
Was everyone able to do that "Pan-pa-hey" clap part?

36:25
What was that about, anyway?

36:31
It was supposed to be a one-time clap, right?

36:39
That was so funny.

36:44
Honestly, I couldn’t hear the clapping well, so I wasn’t sure if everyone managed to do it.

36:50
But yeah, it was just a single clap.

36:58
It was a fake-out.

37:18
[Music]

37:34
It’s all improv. Every part of it. It's not the same as last time.

37:44
Because I live for the live-show feeling!

37:52
So, please look forward to Fukuoka as well!

37:58
By the way, about that time between "Starlight Jet" and "Deadpool"...

38:05
When I seemed like I was stalling, I was actually removing my headset.

38:12
It was in the way, so I switched to a handheld mic.

38:19
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but I was doing that during the gap.

38:26
I was planning to casually say, “The next song is a new one, please listen,” during that transition.

38:33
But the mic wasn’t on, so it ended up being like, "New song! Oh, new song!"

39:23
I was repeating myself a lot, wondering if it was getting through.

40:22
It made me panic a little, but I managed to introduce the new song in time.

41:08
By the way, isn’t "Deadpool" such a good song?

41:13
You can call it "Dep" for short.

42:05
The song was completed just in time, and we put so much thought into its arrangement.

43:39
For the live show, we adjusted the performance so that it starts with me, and Kaf-chan joins in later.

44:49
It’s such a great song; I’ve been replaying that part in the archive over and over again.

44:49
Ah, it feels like a melodic hip-hop vibe. Yeah, that's true.

44:55
It's such a great song. I’ve listened to it so many times—really, countless times. Even during the live show, I kept replaying that particular scene in the archive. I probably haven’t watched anything else as much. I love the ending melody part; it’s so good.

45:09
That part is amazing, isn’t it?

45:20
The fake part there was actually created by Hano-san.

45:26
[Music]
Please look forward to the release of this track.

45:32
And then, we sang Isseifu.

45:37
[Music]
When you were singing, could you hear everyone’s voices this time?

45:45
Yeah, I could hear them! I could definitely hear them. Or rather, when I wasn’t singing, everyone’s voices came through.

45:53
Compared to the Saitama performance, this time, it felt like everyone’s voices lightly filled my ears throughout.

45:58
[Music]
Yeah, I think so.

46:05
And during the parts when I wasn’t singing, everyone raised their voices even more—it felt great.

46:15
That’s true, now that you mention it.

46:20
And for Isseifu...

46:27
[Music]
Oh, so AP-san is the same person?

46:40
Yeah, this time, I toned down the dancing and focused on singing.

46:45
That pitch was high, wasn’t it?

46:53
It was really high! I kept wondering why I was singing that part. I thought I’d just do the chorus since it’s featuring Suisei.

47:01
[Applause]
But, well, doing something different once in a while is good too.

47:17
But when it’s that high, it’s actually easier to sing because I can just use falsetto for the entire part.

47:26
[Music]
The challenging part is deciding whether to use falsetto or chest voice. Those transitions are the hardest. But if I could just use falsetto, it’s fine.

47:38
What’s falsetto?

47:43
It’s the head voice. Like, "Ah~."

47:52
Oh, I don’t get it at all. Sorry!

47:59
Oops, I messed up the order during Shakunetsu. My bad!

48:04
[Music]
Oops, oh no!

48:14
Oops, I messed up.

48:20
Wait, really? You think so?

48:28
Huh, no one noticed?

48:33
[Music]
If no one noticed, then it’s fine, I guess.

48:42
Yeah, it’s just the live performance vibe, you know?

48:48
[Music]
Exactly!

49:03
[Music]
Let’s go!

49:13
Osaka feels like that, doesn’t it?

49:20
[Laughing]

49:28
You know, this song wasn’t even designed for human vocals.

49:36
That’s why I thought it was part of the act—like, the vibe.

49:43
Oh, you mean it was intentional? Yeah, totally part of the act.

49:48
I might have gotten ahead of myself.

50:00
[Laughing]
But next time in Fukuoka, I won’t make any mistakes.

50:15
So, for Shakunetsu, there were backup dancers this time.

50:21
Previously in Saitama, we didn’t have any backup dancers. That’s why I was moving around the stage.

50:39
But this time, we decided to stay at the center.

50:45
So during the rehearsal, they asked me, “Could you do some moves instead of just standing still?”

50:58
I was like, “Of course! I’ll do my best!”

51:18
And that’s how I learned the choreography last minute and gave it my all during the performance.

51:44
[Music]
Was I a robot or something? It was tough, but I did my best.

52:12
And then we performed True Girl Show in Osaka for the first time.

52:19
Wait, wasn’t it Template in Saitama?

52:29
Ah, True Girl Show. I think I sang it really well this time.

52:35
Oh, the call and response part was different, right?

52:41
Yeah, it was, wasn’t it?

52:48
The timing for “Se-no” is so tricky. I kept practicing it mentally before sleeping, like:

52:55
“Suichan wa... Se-no... now?”

53:01
“Suichan wa... Se-no... now!”

53:11
That was it! [Music]

53:16
So cute. It went well during the performance.

53:25
True Girl Show is so fun to sing live.

53:31
I tried so many different versions during practice.

53:39
And in Saitama, too, we sang True Girl Show.

53:48
Then, there’s this song that’s impossible to perform live—it’s Nanimo Nai.

54:00
It’s just too much—crossing vocals and running out of breath.

54:08
Honestly, this song isn’t meant for live singing.

54:13
When I perform it live, they play parts of the track, like:

54:20
“I’m the one with nothing, and you’re the one with nothing, too.”

54:34
And I switch with the recorded Suisei for certain parts.

54:46
[Laughing]
It’s such a challenge.

55:19
I think everyone got excited with this one!

55:32
By the way, I initially didn’t want to sing Phony live because it’s too hard.

55:43
But when Tsukisan suggested it, I was like, “If you say so, then okay!”

55:59
But I didn’t expect it to be this challenging.

56:11
For Phony, I performed it as a duet with my recorded self.

56:30
During rehearsals, I didn’t even notice I was singing it in the original key!

56:52
I only realized after the performance ended!

57:23
Apparently, the band didn’t lower the pitch at all.

57:45
Looking back, I have no idea why I didn’t notice.

58:08
But yeah, it’s been proven I can sing it live now, though it’s so hard.

59:29
Still, Tsukisan’s guitar was amazing. I’d love to duet with them again someday.
59:37
We were talking about wanting to do a duet.

59:43
But when they sang, I was super happy!

59:49
Honestly, I really wanted to do it more fully, like really go all out.

59:58
But I was told, "Let’s just sing a little bit," so I thought, "Well, it’s fine. They’re playing the guitar for me," and we went with that kind of vibe.

1:00:06
I didn’t expect Taki-san to sing, so I was really surprised. Honestly, I really like the way Tsuki-san sings.

1:00:12
There’s this band called No Melon, No Lemon.

1:00:18
Yeah, it’s No Melon, No Lemon.

1:00:26
I’ve sung a few of their songs before, and every time I hear them, I think, “What a great voice. What a wonderful way of singing.”

1:00:34
It always struck me.

1:00:39
So I was really happy.

1:00:45
When Tsuki-san came to greet us backstage, I was thinking, "What should we talk about?"

1:00:53
She was wearing a different outfit at that time.

1:01:08
But for the actual performance, she wore pink.

1:01:13
During the rehearsal, I don’t think she was wearing pink either.

1:01:20
But suddenly, she came out fully prepared in pink, with her makeup done and everything. I thought, "Oh, it’s pink!"

1:01:28
After the show, she came to greet us again. We chatted a bit about how fun it was, and I mentioned how cute her pink outfit was.

1:01:44
She said, “I matched it to the glow stick colors.”

1:01:50
I was like, “Ah, so that’s what it was for!” I hadn’t realized it.

1:01:56
It matched so well! I was really happy she prepared like that.

1:02:02
Honestly, I wanted her to sing Bibide Babide Boo too, but she only sang that one part.

1:02:15
Still, it was so great to work with Tsuki-san. I was genuinely thrilled.

1:02:37
Actually, for Saitama, I wanted to bring in a surprise guest as well.

1:02:44
But no one was available.

1:02:51
That’s how it went, unfortunately.

1:03:03
Fukuoka, huh? Well, you’ll have to wait and see.

1:03:12
It might happen. Or it might not.

1:03:20
I pushed until the very last minute, but still, no one came through.

1:03:26
So I was glad Tsuki-san came for Osaka.

1:03:34
It was so wonderful to have a surprise guest like her.

1:03:40
I was so happy we managed to pull it off.

1:04:07
We performed Bibide Babide Boo and Andromeda, just like in Saitama, starting with an a cappella intro.

1:04:19
The next part, "Makoto," is a track from the third album.

1:04:34
I’m excited about what we’ll perform in Fukuoka. Look forward to it!

1:04:43
About "Zao," what’s most challenging is finding the timing.

1:04:49
It’s like, “Wait, where do I come in?”

1:04:56
Even during rehearsals, I kept messing up.

1:05:04
I was like, “This isn’t going to work!”

1:05:11
So they added a cue only I could hear in my earpiece—something like a “watou.”

1:05:17
That’s how I managed to keep time.

1:05:32
Honestly, it made things so much easier.

1:05:46
In other songs, too, there are cues added in—like during Midoriura.

1:06:01
For Owaranai Yoru o Ageru, there were cues for how long to hold or wait.

1:06:17
It was like, “Owaranai... watto... yoru o ageru.”

1:06:35
That kind of thing makes it more manageable.

1:06:49
For Osaka, we also performed Ghost.

1:07:01
There was a moment during Ghost when I felt like I might choke.

1:07:13
It wasn’t my best condition.

1:07:24
But I managed to get through it.

1:07:32
I drank some water and sang Ghost, and I think it went pretty well.

1:07:54
Then we moved on to the encore.

1:08:25
Actually, during Andromeda, there was some interference with the connection.

1:09:03
The message “Connection error” appeared, and I thought, “Oh no, not now!”

1:09:20
But since it was a chill section, I didn’t have to move much.

1:09:34
At one point in Kumamoto, the virtual model actually glitched and disappeared.

1:09:48
So I was super careful in Osaka to avoid that.

1:10:22
For the encore, we had to reboot everything two or three times.

1:10:29
Eventually, it all worked out, but it was chaotic backstage.

1:11:03
If it hadn’t been fixed, there might not have been an encore!

1:11:09
Though, I think we would’ve found a way to keep things going, like encouraging the audience to cheer more.

1:11:32
That’s how we managed to buy time.

1:11:54
By the way, about 551’s pork buns—I finally got to eat them this time!

1:12:10
Unlike in Saitama, where we had bento boxes, Osaka had a buffet-style catering setup.

1:12:17
Among the dishes, they had 551’s pork buns. I heated one up and ate it—it was so good!

1:12:31
I even bought some as souvenirs to take home.

1:12:57
Oh, and Rikuro’s Cheesecake—I bought that too!

1:13:19
I ended up buying two whole cakes, but they were gone in no time.

1:13:31
I should’ve bought three, or even five, to share with everyone.

1:14:01
We divided one cake into six pieces for everyone, but it disappeared so quickly.

1:14:23
Next time in Fukuoka, I’ll make sure to buy more souvenirs!

1:14:51
Live performances are always such a thrill. I’m already looking forward to the next one.

1:14:58
What should I bring back as souvenirs from Fukuoka? It was so much fun. I mean, right after the live show...

1:15:07
...I thought, “We can’t just leave Uncle Rikuro like that,” so I decided to take action. Though it could have been today, I thought, “We can’t leave this alone.”

1:15:15
So, on YouTube Café, I immediately told everyone, “Here you go,” and made everyone eat it.

1:15:27
[Music plays]

1:15:34
Torimon and mentaiko, right? I always bring Torimon and mentaiko to share with everyone.

1:15:42
By the way, what’s this? It looks delicious. What is it?

1:15:55
Chiro-an... Chiro-an.

1:16:04
Daiko-mebendazole...?

1:16:21
[Music plays]

1:16:27
So about the Christmas party, I have work on Christmas Day, but I thought we could still hold the party after I finish work.

1:16:34
I only did it every year because I wanted to, so I thought no one really cared. But when everyone said, “Let’s do it!” I thought, “Wait, am I actually being asked to do this?”

1:16:55
So I figured, yeah, I’ll host it. Even if it’s after work.

1:17:01
Of course, we’ll have the Fukuoka concert soon, so we need to be mindful of infection control measures.

1:17:08
As soon as everyone comes in, I’ll be like, “Okay, wash your hands! Yes, yes, sanitize!”

1:17:15
That’s the plan.

1:17:22
[Music plays]

1:17:29
I was thinking about doing it. But COVID is going around, so we’ll be careful.

1:17:35
Oh, should we make an event program or something?

1:17:42
That would make me happy! Be careful about the flu, though. Really, let’s watch out for the flu.

1:17:47
We’ll maintain social distancing while eating.

1:17:55
As for Christmas traditions—what’s this about “hot words” for Christmas Eve?

1:18:01
Eve... yes, on Christmas Eve, wash your body, rub salt into it, and coat yourself in oil.

1:18:08
And then you’ll get eaten by a cat, right?

1:18:19
Take care, Makopro-sama, too. Everyone seems so worried, but I just want to throw a party with everyone.

1:18:25
Whoa.

1:18:31
[Music plays]

1:18:37
Let’s also gargle with ethanol. Sure, I’ll have everyone do that too.

1:18:46
No raw meat—everyone, no raw meat!

1:18:51
[Music plays]

1:19:00
That reminds me, before the Saitama concert, I thought I might have caught a cold.

1:19:06
But then I realized, “Wait, isn’t this how I always feel?” Like, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

1:19:13
Oh, by the way, ethanol... oh wait, no, don’t overdo it.

1:19:21
Okay. Just go easy for now.

1:19:27
And don’t forget about the mentaiko or the set protocol.

1:19:33
Right, what even is ethanol again?

1:19:42
It’s like a disinfectant...

1:19:47
Oh, benzalkonium chloride?

1:19:55
Wait, no, it’s just alcohol.

1:20:02
[Music plays]

1:20:08
Alcohol is so intense.

1:20:14
Anyway, there’s one thing I feel like I should mention...

1:20:22
[Music plays]

1:20:32
It’s about the “Today’s Cute Call” before the live shows.

1:20:39
Apparently, it’s been causing a bit of a stir on social media.

1:20:48
As context, during Suisei’s live shows, fans have been doing this “Today’s Cute Call” for around 40–50 minutes before the show starts.

1:20:56
Personally, I think it’s great. I’m really happy about it.

1:21:06
Even the staff seem to enjoy it, saying, “They’re doing the call again today!”

1:21:17
But, while I appreciate it, I’ve been wondering if I should address it.

1:21:33
I don’t really want to enforce rules for people attending my concerts.

1:21:42
Like, for example, there’s the case of someone making noise during the quiet parts of “Ghost.”

1:21:56
Even though some things might annoy people, I think it’s also important to let organic traditions and fun emerge naturally.

1:22:33
I just don’t want unnecessary debates or arguments arising.

1:23:42
Maybe I’ll set a guideline like, “Stop the call 10 minutes before the show starts.”

1:24:15
Or something like that.

1:24:48
It’s not about strict rules, but I want everyone to just feel the atmosphere and act accordingly.

1:26:05
Ultimately, I’d love it if everyone could enjoy the concert and leave with positive memories.

1:26:58
That’s all I ask.

1:27:54
So, that’s the rule. Enjoy the show and share your happy memories.

1:28:10
[Music plays]

1:28:37
Honestly, I don’t mind much. If I were a fan of someone, I’d probably want to cheer in the way I feel is right.

1:29:12
But as the performer, I feel it’s not ideal to impose too much.

1:29:51
So, let’s keep things chill. I hope everyone can just enjoy themselves.

1:29:55
I don’t want to make it a strict rule, but…
1:30:02
Well, could I ask you to just handle it as you see fit? I mean, kind of…
1:30:09
No, really, you need to make it clear here.
1:30:14
It’s not like I hate it or anything.
1:30:21
Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me either way. I just don’t want to increase the number of rules.
1:30:30
I only want to say, “Just read the room.” That’s really all.

1:30:37
Like, you know, whether or not it’s better to say something here—read the room.
1:30:45
People have their own ways of enjoying things. If we start adding more unofficial local rules to the ones already written down, it’ll just get more annoying.
1:30:51
That’s what I think.
1:30:57
That’s why…

1:31:03
For example, if someone goes “Yay!” in a situation where everyone else is silent, they’re someone who’s not reading the room.
1:31:11
So yeah, I’ll just sum it up as “read the room.”

1:31:19
For what it’s worth, we’re talking about Itora, who doesn’t read the room at all in the first place.
1:31:31
That’s true. So, no matter what I say, it’s not going to change anything.

1:31:37
If the next person who does the same thing says, “But Suisei said this!” then it just becomes another hassle.
1:31:49
Like, “Why aren’t you following what Suisei said?”
1:31:54
But what can I do? People like that exist.

1:32:05
It’s just inevitable that conflicts arise…
1:32:11
And after that, people end up going, “Oh no!” I really think that’s a problem.

1:32:19
I’m sure there are plenty of things everyone dislikes.
1:32:27
But there are always going to be people who can’t read the room.
1:32:37
That’s just how it is. They’re people who don’t read the room.

1:32:42
So, no matter what you say…

1:32:49
Anyway, for today, let’s say:

    Stop calling out chants 10 minutes before the performance starts.
    As for the live show as a whole, just try to read the room.

1:33:04
That’s it, more or less.

1:33:15
If I were to specify just one thing, people might think, “Oh, then it’s fine for other songs, right?”
1:33:24
Making rules for everything is just a hassle.
1:33:31
So let’s stick with “read the room.”

1:33:36
End of story.

1:33:43
By the way, is it okay to thank Tsukimi-san after the performance ends?
1:33:52
I think that’s fine! It’s like saying “Thank you, Suisei,” and such—I’m totally okay with that.

1:33:58
But of course, there are people who don’t like that and think, “Just stay quiet between songs.”
1:34:03
Everyone has their own way of enjoying the live show.
1:34:09
So if you feel like something might not be appropriate, just read the room. That’s really the only answer.

1:34:16
There’s no definitive right or wrong.
1:34:22
Just follow the rules and guidelines that are explicitly written down.

1:34:27
That’s all.

1:34:33
If we make the rules too strict, people will constantly wonder: “Is this okay? Is that okay? Wait, was that not allowed?”
1:34:40
It becomes distracting when watching the live show, and that’s not ideal either.

1:34:51
So please, just do your best to be mindful.
1:34:59
That’s all I ask.

1:35:06
Haa…

1:35:12
I genuinely want everyone to enjoy the show.
1:35:18
That’s all. Really, I just want everyone to have fun.
1:35:27
So please don’t start arguments afterward.

1:35:34
I felt like I had to address this, so I did.

1:35:39
That’s about it.

1:35:48
Alright, last question!

1:35:59
Huu…

1:36:06
Singing “Andromeda” a cappella was nerve-wracking. But I wasn’t as nervous in Osaka.

1:36:15
As for the countdown at the end…

1:36:25
Let’s talk about my first time writing lyrics and composing.
1:36:30
Honestly, I had no confidence at all.

1:36:37
Absolutely none. I was so nervous until the song was released, until I saw everyone’s reactions.

1:36:47
It was nerve-wracking. I had zero confidence.

1:36:53
None. I was constantly second-guessing myself.

1:36:59
It was like, “Is this really okay? Listen to it. Is it good? Really? Are you sure?”

1:37:06
And everyone kept saying, “It’s great! It’s really good!”

1:37:12
But I kept thinking, “Really? Is it actually fine?”

1:37:18
But everyone said it was amazing.

1:37:24
I’m really thankful to all the people who helped, like Itatsuki-san.

1:37:31
I think I wrote this around April this year. I worked really hard on it.

1:37:41
Even while doubting myself, I somehow managed to create the song.

1:37:49
Honestly, I wasn’t sure if it would be okay.

1:37:58
But please don’t tell me if it wasn’t okay.

1:38:05
Please enjoy the song and support it.

1:38:10
Thank you for your support!

1:38:19
(Playfully) My mental health, my mental health…

1:38:25
And then, Marine’s mental state has become… Marine.

1:38:33
Her mental state has really shifted.

1:38:41
But then… well, there’s no new information or anything, but…

1:38:55
Not much news, but Marine’s been doing pretty well recently, right?

1:39:02
I mean, I don’t really know what “doing well” even means in this context, but…

1:39:09
She seems to be in high spirits, doesn’t she?

1:39:14
🎵 Yeah, I think she’s doing her best. She seemed to have a breakthrough after the live event.

1:39:21
It feels like she’s let go of something and moved forward. Her self-confidence seems to have risen significantly.

1:39:27
Honestly, yesterday’s stream was intense. It feels like her mental state has gotten stronger.

1:39:33
Yeah, I think so too. It’s like…

1:39:41
I actually chatted with Marine during her stream yesterday. I told her she was super cute and looked great, especially during FNS.

1:39:46
And then today, I even got a LINE message from her. She said something like she wanted to appear on TV with Suisei.

1:40:02
Marine, huh. If this were earlier this year, I think she might’ve said something like, “It’s all up to Suisei now. I’m just an oddball, and I don’t fit in anywhere.”

1:40:11
Marine back then might have thought, “I’ll just do my own thing separately,” you know? But now she’s saying she wants to appear on TV with Suisei.

1:40:17
🎵 It really surprised me.

1:40:27
She said she wants to appear on TV with Suisei, and I thought, “Oh, I want to appear too!”

1:40:41
It made me so happy.

1:40:48
Isn’t that great? Marine is holding up FNS, while Suisei carries The Music Day.

1:41:01
And now, we’re looking for a song that can let them appear together.

1:41:15
Suisei really loves the Captain. There’s so much respect there.

1:41:21
Of course! I respect Marine so much. But, you know, she used to always say things like, “I’m just not a great person.”

1:41:29
Every time she said that, I couldn’t understand it. I’d always think, “What are you talking about?”

1:41:37
She’d say, “I’m not great,” even though she has 3 million subscribers on her channel.

1:41:42
🎵

1:41:47
So, yeah, we need a song for them to perform together. What kind of song will it be?

1:42:00
One day, I hope they can stand on the same stage together.

1:42:07
And then, Marine used to say things like, “No one will come to my live shows.”

1:42:14
But that’s not true. There were so many people who wanted to go to her two-day live but couldn’t.

1:42:20
I bet there are plenty of fans who missed it and wish they could’ve gone.

1:42:27
She could’ve held it for three, four, or even five days, and it still would’ve been packed.

1:42:40
🎵 Yeah, let’s have a Suisei-Marine live! They need to make more songs together.

1:42:46
If they’re going to do a Suisei-Marine live, they’ll need more songs.

1:42:53
What color should their light sticks be?

1:43:00
White? Or maybe blue? I don’t think there’s a set color for them yet.

1:43:09
Everyone’s waving white, right? Or maybe blue? Blue makes sense too.

1:43:27
But, yeah, white seems fitting.

1:43:41
🎵 What about “Awake”? What color is that supposed to be?

1:43:47
I always think of green for “Awake.”

1:43:54
Maybe it’s because of the lighting at the very end?

1:44:01
The penlight colors… Yeah, I think green works for “Awake.”

1:44:16
Let’s make green the official color.

1:44:27
Though there’s no rule against waving your favorite color, of course.

1:44:47
The laser effects during the last part of “Awake” were green, weren’t they?

1:45:00
That green color was so cool. Let’s make green the official color for “Awake.”

1:45:37
🎵 It’s exciting to think about their future shows.

1:45:56
Also, don’t forget to check out the Saitama archive—it’s available until the 14th!

1:46:25
Next, let’s talk about “Get the Crown.” Everyone worked so hard on it.

1:46:40
Have you eaten? I’m starving!

1:46:55
🎵 There’ll definitely be more streams before the next Osaka event.

1:47:15
Can you cook? Yes, I can! I’m actually pretty good at cooking.

1:47:30
What about Christmas Eve this year? There’ll definitely be a stream.

1:48:01
What’s your signature dish? I tend to get creative with whatever’s in the fridge.

1:48:29
But I don’t mix up sugar and salt, at least.

1:48:52
🎵 By the way, I heard my song got played on the news! It was a Kansai local segment, I think.

1:49:39
Oh, someone’s going to pick up their puppet merch? See you soon!

1:49:51
🎵 If there’s another chance, I’d love to visit Osaka again.

1:50:08
I really want to see the inside of the Tower of the Sun—it’s like a different world.

1:50:26
I love Taro Okamoto’s work.

1:50:44
His creations are so monstrous yet full of life. They really make me feel alive.

1:50:53
🎵 It’s incredible how much life his work exudes.

1:50:59
[Music] It feels kind of like praying, doesn’t it? Yeah, that was Taro Okamoto, wasn’t it?

1:51:08
Yeah, I think so. You know, I believe there's one in Ginza, too.

1:51:15
Oh yeah, the clock in Ginza is also by Taro Okamoto, right?

1:51:24
And what else... oh yeah, there’s one near Disney, isn’t there?

1:51:33
Every time I see his work, I really feel alive.

1:51:40
Like the mural in Shibuya Station, for example.

1:51:46
Yeah, I genuinely like Taro Okamoto.

1:51:54
Oh, it’s in Maihama? Is it Maihama?

1:52:01
By the way, the meeting will require formal attire. Please wear suits, everyone. Office casual is also fine.

1:52:08
[Music]

1:52:13
Is there anything you want to see in Fukuoka? To be honest, I have no idea what Fukuoka has to offer. Tourist spots in Fukuoka...

1:52:19
[Music]

1:52:25
I want to feel like I’ve entered another world. Something otherworldly.

1:52:30
Where could I find that? Should I ask Laden?

1:52:38
Yeah, maybe a shrine would be a good idea.

1:52:49
[Music]

1:52:54
Hmm, Spain Village? What is that? Is it in Fukuoka?

1:53:05
Oh, a shrine!

1:53:12
There’s a shrine, indeed.

1:53:19
[Music]

1:53:26
Wow, there’s a huge line for ramen. Seriously? Wait, what kind of ramen is famous in Fukuoka?

1:53:32
[Music]

1:53:41
Oh yeah, it’s tonkotsu, right? I personally like tonkotsu-shoyu ramen, though.

1:53:55
Is tonkotsu-shoyu considered sacrilege?

1:54:01
Wait, isn’t tonkotsu-shoyu something else entirely?

1:54:06
Yeah, I can’t handle Jiro-style ramen.

1:54:14
Oh, so that’s "iekei" ramen, isn’t it? Iekei ramen is from Yokohama, right?

1:54:19
[Music]

1:54:26
Wait, is there some unspoken rule that you have to call tonkotsu ramen "Hakata ramen" in Fukuoka?

1:54:31
Do they have local rules like that? I didn’t know! Like in Osaka, you can’t call "butaman" (pork buns) by any other name than "nikuman" (meat buns).

1:54:37
They don’t allow it? That’s so unique!

1:54:43
If that’s the case, whatever, it’s fine. Osaka has its quirks, after all.

1:54:52
[Music]

1:54:59
I want to eat tonkotsu-shoyu ramen.

1:55:07
Are there any popular shops in Fukuoka where I can enjoy tonkotsu-shoyu ramen?

1:55:13
This is bad—I’m craving ramen now.

1:55:21
I really want some tonkotsu-shoyu ramen.

1:55:28
[Music]

1:55:34
Okay, let’s wrap up. Last question!

1:55:40
What is it? [Music]

1:55:48
Would you participate in a VCR GTA event if you had the chance? You should! Go for it! But honestly, I don’t think I could handle a week of long streams like that—it’s just exhausting.

1:55:54
Still, I’d love to join.

1:56:07
Are there any games you’re into right now?

1:56:16
Let’s see... Shueisha is doing a collaboration for one game.

1:56:23
Also, there’s this one game I wanted to try. It’s like a drawing game, similar to Makino Mori.

1:56:32
You draw something, and everyone has to guess what it is.

1:56:37
But there’s an extra rule: if the AI figures out what you’re drawing, you lose.

1:56:44
It sounds so fun, right? Apparently, it’s set to release in 2025.

1:56:49
I really want to play it. Beating the AI sounds like a blast.

1:56:55
Doesn’t that sound amazing?

1:57:02
The game’s concept is to draw in a way that humans can understand but the AI cannot.

1:57:11
It sounds so intriguing, and I can’t wait to try it out. I want to crush the AI!

1:57:20
I definitely want to do that. [Music]

1:57:26
I also want to stream PlateUp again. Maybe another silent stream?

1:57:32
[Music]

1:57:37
Do I have an issue with AI? Nah, not really. I just want to show these machines the true terror of humanity. Like, "You’re not human, so I can say whatever I want to you, AI!"

1:57:46
[Music]

1:57:53
Anyway, let’s call it a day.

1:58:03
I won’t lose to a machine. Not a chance. Goodnight, everyone. Thank you so much for today. I’ll do my best for the flower performance tomorrow. Alright, I’m signing off!

1:58:22
Maybe I’ll have ramen for dinner.
