Copypasting from xVirtualImage's livestream chat

The stream description is "Respect" in english. The video has a synth timeline in the top-right, and a mixer (?) in the bottom left



!!! My translations aren't good, but I copied as much of the text as I could. If someone wants to double check the actual text, do so !!!



[From the moment I joined the stream, he was playing offvocal versions of his 2 songs]


[I didn't copy the exact text but he said:]
500 people watching would be amazing

前の放送でバレちゃったから言うけど「呑まれてた」
Because it was leaked before the stream, so "I hid it"

溶けてた考察ニキはまあそう考えちゃうよなあとは思った
The guys asking questions, well, I had no choice but to think about them (unsure)

そうだよ
That's right

あー ごめん そこまで考えてなかった
Ah sorry, I didn't think that far ahead

​不必要に言葉選ばないといけないのしんどいな
I'm tired, I shouldn't be saying things carelessly

作曲やってるよ
Gonna compose some music


[he plays a new song that sounds like a much grander, jazzier mix of !, unsure if old or new]


まあ過去曲流したし
Though I played some older music

僕は虚像が好きだけどクオリティはi一択かな
I like "Virtual Image" but I guess "Quality" is another choice, huh (I think he is referring to his name)

自分はスケールごとの色彩感とか大切にしてるつもりだからあんまりトランスポーズはやらないかな（さっきしてたけど）
It's important to me that my scale have a sense of aesthetics (?) but I don't really transpose ((even though I just did))

暗号いれたいけど面倒くさくない？
I want to add a password/code (?) but isn't that a pain to do?

虚像暗号もいちいちコピペ面倒だし正直後悔してる
Regretfully, copy pasting a Virtual Image code one by one would be too troublesome (he does use the kanji for Virtual Image that the JP fans call him)


[he stops playing music and seems to be talking more]


文字化けのソレよ
That's gibberish (might be referring to his youtube name)

異端児でごめん…
Sorry for being nonconformist

バレた？ 人間っぽく振舞おうとしてるんだけど
Was I exposed? Then I'll try to act more human-like

プロチャンネル使うときは使うよ
Using a "pro channel" is just using it (probably about youtube)

というか文字化けとかもそうだったけど自分で解こうって思う人より人づてに聞こうとする人の方が多かったね
I should say that it was gibberish, but there were a lot of people with different views who would listen to hearsay about me, that I have to answer/dispel more than most (unsure)

不思議に思う割にはそこまでの探求心はないのかあ～って思ったりもした
I thought that "I won't have to answer that many questions for how mysterious I seem~"

まあ謎があったからこそここまで伸びたってのはあるよね
Well, even though there are a lot of mysteries, I've been warming up until now

この手法使えば本名義も伸びてたのかなあ～って
If these hands are of any use, I guess my real name is still in the works~ (unsure)

まあもうこんなベラベラ喋ってるからミステリアス路線は難しいね
Well with all of this chatter so far, it's hard to be mysterious

正解
Correct

嘘だよ
That's "untrue"


[I regret not catching the context for those lines, but it should be noted that the kanji for untrue/lie "嘘" has only one extra radical than the first kanji in Virtual Image "虚" and he could be referring to that]


​いや名乗り上げてる人いたから ごめんて
Sorry that there are people giving names that (you?) don't want

これは本当なんだけど、今までのリスペクターとは本当に関係ないからね
I don't know if this is true, but "Respecter" until now has been irrelevant (unsure if he's saying he's been a Respecter, or someone else)

だからあまり周りに迷惑かけないようにね
That's why until now I tried to keep myself out of trouble

貴方が鏡になれと言えば私は精巧な鏡になりましょう。
"If you say that you have become a mirror, I shall become an elaborate mirror"

貴方が水銀になれと言えば私は毒々しい水銀になるでしょう。
"If you say that you have become mercury, I think I'll become poisonous mercury"

これ時づはiの歌詞のアイデアだったりする
This time I think I have some kind of idea for the lyrics to "i" (the next song will be called "i" it seems?)

実は
Really

え なんで知ってるの？
Eh, how do you know?

私が水銀一気飲みサークル所属なの
You know, I belong to a club that chugs mercury

疲れたからね 当分はこんな感じで行くよ
I'm tired, for now I'll follow this feeling

今日だけで相当進んだでしょ
I think I made enough progress today, you think?


[he seems to be winding down, everyone says "thank you for your hard work"]


いや水銀なんて飲むわけないでしょ…危ないなあ…
You really shouldn't drink mercury you know... It's very dangerous...


[music plays again, the grand version of !, on repeat]


裏で流しとく
Now for a different side

耳フェチ
Eargasm

いや汚いでしょ…
Oh, was that too indecent...

ASMR？は聴いたことないなあ
ASMR? I've never listened

Twitterでは未成年って答えてたよ
Twitter said (I'm) not of age (Twitter locks your account if you put in as your birthday that you're not 13 yet, I think is what he means? Did he put in his birthday wrong and get locked? lol)

きっつ…
This is so hard...

特にないかな しいて言えば「承認欲求」とか？
It isn't anything in particular, if I may say something like "need for social approval"? (unsure)


[people seem to be bringing up xx brother and lamphole]


虚像はこれからのこの名義での僕らの事を予想した曲だよ
Virtual Image is the name you can expect me to be putting music out under from now on (unsure)


[should be noted that Virtual Image "虚像" is not the actual name of his channel, it's just what it translates to when the JP fans google translated his name]


どれも実現しちゃった
Realized I just finished it

暇つぶし が4割ぐらい？
Just to kill some time, about 40%? (unsure of context? how much time he spends making music?)

2割以上はもし上手く行った時に、彼の気持ちを理解してみたかったから
More than 20%, sometimes it goes smoothly, I wanted to understand his feelings (unsure - no context doesn't help)


[while i wasn't looking, someones message a few people above was redacted]


こらキッツイわって感じ。
Hey, I think that's grisly

そうだね 真逆
多分
Yeah, of course. Very much

生前の彼のことはリアルタイムで知ってた訳じゃないからね… ちょうどいなくなった辺りで知ったかな？
I don't think that (we) always know what's going on in someone's life in real time... would you notice if someone was no longer around? (unsure)

音楽は6年ぐらいやってるって前言ったと思う
I think I'd say (I've) been making music for about 6 years

まあインターネットで複数の名義を扱ってるって時点で似たようなもんでしょ
Well, on the internet I've gone by many names in a similar time, you know


[Someone asks if he likes XX or 2gou's work]


聴かないかな
I've never heard of him

XX

彼の遺言に背くことをしてるから正直罪悪感は凄いよ。
Though we're going against his last request (by bringing him up), I honestly feel very guilty

使うも何も、持っていない。
Whether it's used or not, I won't carry it. (unsure)


[people say "thank goodness" and "兄貴" and seem grateful/thankful]


やめたほうがいいよ
We'd better stop

というか入るも何もここにいる時点で…って感じはある…
Or rather, whether or not I had it at any point in time... I still feel that way (unsure)

I do the images/video myself

ごめん 16枚

The kick and clap dots are only 2 measures (?) but they loop endlessly

iの動画は全然考えてない
I haven't thought about i's video yet at all


[another break where he goes back to mixing]


地獄はピアノロール
Hell is a piano roll

書き出した後に1ドット分のミスとか見つけた時は発狂しそうだった
If I mess up one dot after I start, by the time I find it I'm going insane

あ
ミスあるやんけ！！！！！！！
Ah, I messed something up!!!!!!!

というわけでみんな探動画内でしてみてね
Anyways, did you all want to spy on the contents of my video?

動画内で探してみてね
Try to find the (earlier) mistake in my video

しかもこれ丁寧に全部コピペだから全部ミスってるの笑う
Though if someone thoroughly copy pastes everything, they'll also be copying my mistake, haha


[music stops, but he's still a little sparse]


手直しはしない
I can't fix this

炎上しそうだと思ったから
I feel like it's going up in flames

あの3文字で人々の心が動くの凄くない？
Are people taking a fancy to those three letters?

僕自身アレに対しては何とも思ってないけど（よく言われるし）
Though personally I don't have any particular thoughts ((but I won't be saying it))

まあこういう爆発的な伸びがあったからこそあういう人の心理みたいなのを実験する場にもなったのはいい機会だったよね
Well with that explosive development, I think I'll take this chance to run an experiment with all of your minds

あー そこは心配した
Ah, there's the problem

今3曲目を作っています。
Now I've made 3 pieces of music

いや今は作ってないか
No, only 3 right now

悪い子じゃなかったらこんなことしてないって
If I wasn't a bad kid, I wouldn't be able to do this

人の傷口抉るようなもの作って

Well by that logic, it's useful

髥莏と虚像兄貴でエゴサしてるよ
I ego-search (self-google) "髥莏" and "Virtual Image"

虚像さんでもたまにエゴサするけど関係ないの出てくるからね
Even when I ego-search "Virtual Image" there are a lot of unrelated things

Then I really would be exposed, huh

[stream suddenly gets much louder]


あげるよー

クロスオーバーとかやってる人見た気がする
I feel like people are waiting for me to do a crossover

いやどうなんだろ そういうの疎いからわかんないや
No, it's more than I'm uninterested in doing something like that (unsure)

ただなんかのキャラに当てはめて書くとか、まあ僕は良いとしても大体何かしらに引っかかるよ。そういうの
Things like drawing other characters, somehow I've been mixed up in things like that from the start


[music/editing resumes briefly]


あ～あと商業じゃなくても既存のキャラとクロスするのは嫌な気分になりましたになるかもしんない
Aah, not my own characters, but crossing over with existing characters, it doesn't appeal to me

義務教育はちゃんと行った方がいいよ
Oh, I had better get to school (joking? it was in the middle of the night JST)

いじめられてたりするなら話は別だけど
I get picked on sometimes but that's another story

まあ家庭環境とかアレだと学校も嫌になっちゃうけどね
Well because the situation is like that, is why I hate school (unsure)

学校なんてつまらないのが当たり前でしょ！
Of course school is boring!


[music/editing resumes]


この時間帯の方が小学生が多いの怖くない…？
Did I pick a time slot (this late) because I'm scared of elementary students? (again, he was streaming at like 2-3am in jp)

見慣れない小学生がいるので、怖くなりました
If you aren't familiar with elementary students, they could become scary

It's too low...

[long break, xVI does a lot of music editing. I might have missed a couple things]

This is a good place to stop, I'm done

お疲れ様でした。
