Stream Summary: 2022-01-13, Birthday Live Talk(Pokemon)

Summarized from: https ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUurpuemIGM

>Had to do the impression stream today(4:15)
She brings up that her throat is rather busted up after yesterday and that she was a bit on the fence today on what to do since she is actually fairly exhausted and before the stream she was feeling sleepy and even took a nap. But in the end she decided to go for it since if not today then this "Impression stream" would end up on the weekend since tomorrow is her collab with Botan, so she felt like she had to do it today.
So today she'll leisurely talk about the event and various things while trying to catch a shiny Ditto, speaking of leisure* in a way it is her word to use for when referring to her zatsudan streams.

*Word used is Mattari(まったり) a word commonly used by her to refer to her psuedo-zatsudan streams. Seen often with Minecraft for example.

>She got to borrow a trial model of the Nousagi plushie(5:55)
She suddenly exclaims that she has a trial model of the nousagi plushie that was past of the birthday goods, and as she rips open the bag it is in she says that it was a lot more soft than she expected, in fact she was wondering if it would be solidly built and rather hard. She uses the on-screen nousagi plushie to say it is roughly the same size and that it is a sort of plushie made for hugging, as in you hug it and calm down sort of style and the size matches that use. And rather than call it heavy it feels dense, like you can really feel the padding inside it.
She continues to say that management put pressure on her that there is only one of those so she'll definitely have to bring it back to them. She agrees but in her mind she is disappointed at having to wait for one she gets to keep, and furthermore since she is going to the studio tomorrow for the collab they asked her if she'd be alright carry it with her and while she agreed to it she did think at the time that isn't it a bit too large to easily carry?

>The opening movie for the life and wants to renew her stream openings(10:30)
First topic is talking about opening video which she of course commissioned but the BGM was also commissioned, first time she saw it she was in awe at how thoroughly it was made and explains that in the middle of the production she was asked to pick out some streams that she felt left an impression, a bit confused she presented a couple of them and they were used in a sort of clipped feel which surprised her, it had to be clips where a game wasn't being shown hence the selection.
The BGM was also an original and she asked a rather famous Vocaloid composer to be in charge of it, named Kinoshita. She feels it is a waste to only use that opening for the live once and never again, plus it has a perfect section with a countdown making it feel like something is going to start, so she'll be using it a bit here and there during January.
On that note she also feels like she wants to get new openings for her stream in general, and wonders if she'll commission that as well. Lately it has always been the same Ninjin, and Bunbuncha and since it is 2022 she wants to do a renewal of that too, she'll think about it.

>First song: Otsukimi Risaitaru(13:30)
From the opening on to the first song to which she asks if they remember which one it was, the chat answers with Otsukimirisaitaru and she goes on to explain that this was a song she didn't even know existed at the time it came out but from someone's cover song of it she found out about it, and at first she had a average reception of the song but after looking at the lyrics she saw it in a new light and felt like she wants to sing this during the live so she learned it.
Someone from chat says it was a song he didn't know about and Pekora emphasizes with that and says that since she too didn't know it very well, she was a bit anxious if the nousagi would know about it but there were some people who did know about it looking at the comments. She really likes the lyrics which has this sort of; "Let's keep doing our best together" sort of feeling, like; "I'll be there to support you during times where you feel worthless" and such, it made her reflect on that she really likes songs with good lyrics to them. The nousagi calls it emotional and that's it she says, and her idea for that was that she wanted an emotional song right at the start of the live to hit the audience with that feeling, which became the reason for this song.

>Second song: Koisora Yohou(16:15)
On to the second song which was Koisora Yohou to which she asks if there are nousagi who know about this song because she thinks there might not be a lot of people who know about this one, she has a faint memory of Fubuki having sung this during a 3D at some point. But for Pekora this was a song she knew since long ago and it is a song she has always loved and she has felt like she wanted to sing this at some point. She thinks it is a cute song and says that she does like calm songs a lot as well even if she often gets the image that she loves fast songs. An unexpected part was that the dance for the song was unexpectedly fast.
A lot of nousagi say that they didn't know the song and that was what she expected but even so she chose that song and let her cuteness loose. A Nousagi says he was reminded of the NicoNico days and she says that for sure Otsukimi risaitaru was also from those days, wondering if it was Kagerou Project.

>The updated 3D model(17:35)
From that on to the newly updated Pekora, surely it wasn't such a difference that one could call her a different person right? She was fairly nervous about revealing it. The chat says it was cute and she is glad for that saying that the texture of her hair got upgraded and that her face got some make up treatment, making her even cuter.
And the facial expressions are too very cute, and says that she practiced a lot so she could express them. She figured she'd be able to announce this earlier but couldn't, so some of the nousagi might have felt like it was rather sudden.

>1-year since Pekorandom Brain and finally getting to erase last year's bad memory(18:45)
From that we move onto the 1-year-since Pekorandom brain performance, having been asked in numerous utawaku why won't she sing that song, is there something wrong? Holding fast on not commenting on that question, a year has passed, and finally she got to redo it proper*. By the way she says the dance was also changed and wonders if there were people who noticed that, some say they do and she is glad for that since she did change it from the start, and she's glad she could paint over that last years performance.
She says that it was really a long time since she sung it and it also made her think that it really is a high pitched song like; "That song is really high isn't it". It makes her wonder how the Pekora at the time managed to release that kind of voice, and a nousagi jokes about maybe her voice has changed and she
laughs and says that's not the case.

*Some might not know since that birthday is still privated but following a botched birthday where all her plans were squandered and she had to make do with stock stuff, it ended on revealing her first original song where the audio was also messed up. Needless to say that birthday is a sour memory and it also gave rise to the theme of this birthday; "Start over".

>3D still not complete and the discussion has been going for a long time(20:55)
From that song it is back a bit too talking about the updated 3D, and she says she talked a lot with management about what and how they would update her 3D, and she can't remember how many months they've discussed it but it was since quite some time ago, really not something that was over in a month of discussion.
And furthermore it isn't complete yet, but someday that updated 3D will be made available for her to use for her home 3D which is something management is working on right now and once it becomes avaliable she'll be doing home 3D streams as well, reflecting on that she has barely touched that feature, but once that new one comes she feels it is proper to use the function since she has it and all.

>The Dragon Quest overture orchestra(22:35)
Moving on to Pekora's reward project, the dragon quest orchestra performance. Wasn't it amazing? She was super happy about it. She was surprised at them even playing the level up sound because originally when Pekora was talking with management she only requested to be played the overture, and management said they'd try to find a group and set out on a search and eventually found that orchestral group.
She throws in that she did ask Squeenix in advance for permission to play the overture at her live and got that permission as well, which she was of course very grateful for. The feeling of being celebrated was massive and she was very happy about it. The chat asks how many levels she got and she says about a hundred, she reached the max level.
Furthermore she says seeing all those old DQ clips made her nostalgic wondering how long it was since she saw herself get crazy over the casino in 5, or the point where she was trying to sell Papasu's sword. She says that DQ really is fun after all, like when she played 1 at the start of the year.
She segways this straight into saying that this weekend she'll be starting Dragon Quest 8 and drops the controller to applaud.  Her DQ fever at the moment is unquenchable, she has to do it, she wants to do it. From the time of having played 1 she felt it was a lot of fun but after having heard that orchestral performance of the overture her excitement grew even more and she now feels like there is no way she cannot play another one.
She asks how it will be and since she definitely thinks it will be fun she wonders how the story is, to which she gets the response that it is really good and part of the golden standard which she finds to be nice. Someone else says that it is one that makes you cry and that excites her.
Someone else brings up that it is the most sold game on the PS2(In Japan), she can hardly believe it and says if that's the case then it has to be crazy fun and that she wants to play it right away but will have to wait two days.

>The collab with Subaru(29:30)
After that long side-wind she gets back to the live to talk about the collab portion which were recorded some time in advance and first out is Subaru. Regarding the song she felt like January was just barely too late for a winter type song but she had a strong want to sing a winter type song. But first she talks about how she wanted to ask Subaru since she really feels "The Idol" vibes from her considering her dancing and such and she really loves that part, so she was thinking if she wouldn't want to sing and dance with Pekora, so she started thinking about what kind of song would fit her and picked a wintery one considering it is January and furthermore wanted a bright cute song with cute choreography.
Eventually she sent that request to Subaru and she immediately got a response saying she'll gladly do it. At first she was really worrying about sending that request since thinking about it she probably hasn't asked her for a collab at all before, making this the first time, so what if she were to refuse? This worrying made her anxious enough that she was mulling over sending the request for one or two days thinking things like; "Is it fine for me to invite her?". In fact inviting people to this live took a lot of time in general with the common theme being her worrying about if it is alright for her to invite them.
In the end she sent it to everyone and got a nice response back. And she also brings up to say that aside from her original songs, she used various dancers as reference material for the choreography of the songs and got their permission to use them as well. She also says that during the time when they were chatting she brought up the topic of her throat, asking if Subaru does anything particular to care for her throat since Pekora's image of her is that she has a durable throat and that she doesn't have the image of her destroying her voice or anything and Subaru told her that she drinks Yuzu Mitsu and Pekora does know about Honey for throat care but didn't know Yuzu Mitsu could work for that too, so she figures she'll try that the next time her throat is in shambles.

>The collab with Korone(34:10)
Moving on to Korone she brings up the whole "Koro-san/Korone-senpai" incident and says she'd like to sweep this away and brings up that she has gotten messages from Korone here and there, like the one where she asked Pekora to sing "Happy Jam Jam" on an utawaku, so with that in mind she wanted to invite Korone to sing and dance with her and felt like if it reduced the distance between them that'd be nice too.
Korone happily agreed to do it and as Pekora was thinking about which song they should sing she was a bit at a loss but figured that in terms of both of their voices then a Denpa song should fit. She also asked Korone to tell her if there are any songs she'd like to sing to which Korone unexpectedly sent her a selection of songs, at this point Pekora too mentioned what she'd like to sing and asked if Korone doesn't have any like that and it was then she suggested the Nyaruko-san song which Pekora found to be perfect. She was also a bit surprised at how well she felt their voices matched.
Then after the song it was time for the sealing ritual much to Pekora's surprise, because at first they had discussed a bit about what they would talk about during the speaking segment, and since they both had that whole "Koro-san/Korone-senpai" thing going for them they went with that as the theme.
The nousagi asks if the talking sections were not adlibbed and she says that it was roughly decided beforehand. Basically her idea was to decide on a topic beforehand and then without caring for fine details they'd just talk surrounding that said topic. Her thought is that not having a proper flow of events would be difficult since they might end up going in different directions and become unable to end the segment. Although she did not expect to be doing a sealing ritual, that portion was adlibbed.

>The collab with Towa, Rushia, Botan(38:40)
Next up is Pet Bottle with Silent Majority and this was a song that Pekora picked since it has nice lyrics and it isn't a song she has seen a lot in Hololive, so she asks what everyone thought of that. She laughs and apologizes a bit to the Pet Bottle members because when she invited them it was a simple; "Won't you guys sing Silent Majority with me?", there were no room for suggestions this time, but they were glad to do it.
Furthermore they worked really hard on the dance and formation, showing a lot of respect to the choreography, like during the hook of the song and such. Also in the later half when they were lined up as 4, Pekora was looking from side to side making sure everyone was in their right place while dancing and at the time she thought it wouldn't be noticable that she did but when she looked at it afterwards it was plain as day.
Then the Pet Bottle pose to which she had suggested an unserious posing but was still surprised to find everyone with a different one, but that sort of rowdy feeling was fun. She continues to say that at the time of inviting them to the collab she got a bit hesitant on the fact that they were 3 people since it isn't something she usually does, sure other Holomember commemoration streams has had 4 people no problem but, inviting that many people for her own thing left her a bit nervous. But those 3 accepted it gladly and she's glad for that since it was a lot of fun, making her feel like she wants to do another collab with those 3 again.

>Aikotoba and the gondola(42:50)
After that was Aikotoba and her riding her first gondola, and isn't it amazing being able to ride a gondola while singing and dancing, that is the special privilege of being virtual since if she did that for real then it'd be a lot of trouble, she might fall. The gondola as with the stage was also designed by Hikosan, finding both to be very cute and mentioning that she always has a satisfied smile on her face seeing Hikosan's designs.
Speaking of Aikotoba it is a song she has always wanted to sing at some point, and in a sense of gratitude towards the nousagi she directed that song to them, just like Otsukimirisaitaru was. The nousagi says it is a really emotional song and she agrees and she was actually deliberating between having that for the final song or her new original, but ended up picking the original instead.

>Talking about the goods(45:15)
From Aikotoba onto the goods, mengen announcement, and new song announcement. She asks what they thought of those goods and upon seeing people who bought she thanks them and continues by mentioning that she did tease the rubber mat and card sleeves on a previous day, and isn't it amazing that it was Naoki Saito who designed it? When she sent the request to him she figured the chance of being rejected was rather high, so when he actually accepted it she was very surprised, thinking to herself that she's glad she is Pekora.
Someone says that he bought two sets of the goods and she wonders if that would be one for usage and one for preservation and thanks him, which makes her remember that she heard from her manager that the sleeve and rubber mat single choice selection is very popular for purchase. Like there are people who've bought it several times which she is grateful for.
Someone brings up the idea of having the card sleeves sold as a stand-alone item and that makes her understand why it was so popular, since people would likely want many of them, and she also says that at first she was wondering what to do with that particular item. Someone asks if it won't run out of stock being so popular and she says they don't have to worry, since it has been made to match the demand for everyone who bought.
Also this time she went with the Pekoland money memo block and pen, last goods she went with the medal but the Pekoland money was actually brought up as an idea that time too, but she couldn't release it at the time so she figured that she really wanted to release it for this round of goods. Regarding the pen she figured that if she had it be in gold and black it would give off that high-quality feel and she also wanted something that you could use as normal without it being obvious it was Pekora goods but in the end she made it quite cute, but still thinks it will be fine and tried making it in a way in which it won't expose you.

>Second original song; "iiwake bunny"(50:40)
Moving on onto her second original song, iiwake bunny. How did they like it? She is really pleased with the song and while she also loves Random brain this one was a real hit for her. They call it very cute and she thanks them and says that a video of it will be released as well but some time later.
She wonders if people noticed the Pekora tie-in in the second half of the song, after some teasing she reveals it to be Bunbuncha that was inserted into the song, which was surprising for her too since it was after she was informed of it that she noticed, and there was also the section with her saying "Antatachi!" that was a Pekora reference, and it wasn't like she told the composer to add in references to Pekora, because if she remembers correctly the thing she requested to be included was a romance type song featuring a bunny.
So when she received a demo of it she was so pleased to find the song matching her tastes that she thought to herself; "Please continue like this!", and then the full version came and she felt like Nanahoshi has probably been watching her streams a bit since the whole "Antatachi" line was in there and other Pekora references. Basically for this second song she wouldn't mind if it wasn't easy to understand it was a "Pekora song" unlike Pekorandombrain which was pretty obviously Pekora related, so having references and such to her wasn't something she explicitly asked for so she was surprised to find that there were ones properly inserted into the song, which makes her think that pros really are something else.
She gets asked what that *bleep* portion of the lyrics was, and she laughs and says it is a word you can't say right, after all that is why it is bleeped out.

>The live became a success because she asked all these people for help(56:10)
Someone brings up that the jacket wearing Pekora on the cover is very cute and that leads her into saying that she requested the same artist that did her Cinderella cover for this song, Oshiruko. She found it to be super cute and even when the rough was done she already found it cute. Regarding which version of Pekora to choose she was thinking about that a bit, feeling that her original outfit would be fine as well but from the requested rough sketches she went with the first one since it was very fitting, which ended up being this short haired jacket Pekora.
Speaking of this she feels like this really was a live that became a success because of the help of all these people she requested, it is to the point of her not knowing just how many she actually asked. After all, all those videos in the background for all her various songs were also commissioned, and furthermore the illustrations she used for those videos were seemingly a first time for her as well, and despite that they worked really hard to make good art for her which she is grateful for. But seriously she wonders just how many tens of people she asked for help but she thinks that it is also because of that she managed to create such a great event.
A nousagi brings up that if something as great as that gets cancelled then it is no wonder she felt so down. She laughs and agrees, saying that she is glad she got to hold it as planned but it really was a bad spot for her, she truly felt like life simply doesn't go well for her during the time it was uncertain. But she is glad it went well and that everyone seemed to have fun, because Pekora too had a ton of fun with it.

>Rehearsed with her instructor early in the morning(59:50)
She brings up that she went to the studio early in the morning and the reason for that was that she and her dance instructor rehearsed the choreography up until the instructor had to go home at around noon, but right when the instructor was leaving she told Pekora that she'll be supporting her via her phone and asking her to do her best out there, to which Pekora said goodbye by telling her she'll rely on her again for more dance lessons while being happy about the fact that she will be watching it from her phone.

>LINE message from PekoMama(1:03:55)
She brings up that when ego-searching and seeing many different people telling her it was a good show it made her happy. She felt like her song selection was very good even to the point of wondering what she'll do if there is a next time and that she'll have to think about that.
A nousagi asks if her mother said anything about the live and she says she did, she got a message on LINE and tries to remember it until she checks what it was, and reads it out;
"Good work on the live! It made me so happy I ended up crying, you really worked hard on the dancing and singing, do your best on the member stream and encore too!"

Pekora replied back with a thank you and later returned home to eat dinner. She was considerably tired after coming home, so even after having eating she was still very sleepy and went to sleep directly afterwards.

>Things will be calm for her now until at least February(1:06:00)
She mentions that her throat was considerably wrecked after the live but that it is fine since for some time now it will be a lot calmer, having finished her huge live and all, so it won't be a problem even if she destroys her throat since the next live is in March, so up until February it is fine to go wild and overdo it as well.
But she does still have dance lessons and that is because her intent to continue to improve her dancing even more is very high at the moment. She has come to love dancing, and when she does this type of active dancing she sleeps very well, and gets up early in the mornings which she finds to be very healthy.

>Continuing Ace Attorney on a weekday somewhere(1:10:40)
She gets asked if she'll continue on Ace Attorney and she says she will, she already made the thumbnail and shows it on screen. All that is left is picking a day where to do it, but she'll continue someday, probably somewhere on a weekday since the weekend is DQ8 now.

>Foreigner selling her own farts(1:29:30)
Out of nowhere someone from chat asks if Pekora has talked about the foreign woman who has earned 20,000,000yen from selling her own farts. Pekora laughs and is in disbelief at what exactly he means by that and then questions who would even buy that sort of thing? Surely nobody would buy that thing, she means if you could earn that amount of money from selling your farts everyone would. Someone says that it made the news and that makes her ask how did she get that much money from it, like was it a really famous person or something but then backtracks and says that even if it was someone like that surely you wouldn't need this product. Like you wouldn't even know if that was the fart from that very famous person.
Furthermore how do you even transport that in the end, the farts she means, she breaks off herself and says this conversation is filthy and scolds the chat for bringing this kind of topic into an idol's stream. A nousagi says that she seemingly stopped doing it since she was damaging her body doing it and Pekora pictures the idea of someone working so hard to sell their own farts that their body starts taking damage from it and can't understand why that person managed to sell that much of it.
Someone continues to explain that in order to fart more easily she restricted her diet for that purpose and Pekora laughs and then curiously asks if restricting ones diet makes you fart more easily, is it not a case of you sucking in too much air and that builds up pressure inside you cause you to fart? So it is based on what you eat huh. Someone asks what if Pekora were to sell her farts and she responds; "Who'd buy that? That stinks, by the way I don't fart because I'm an idol so stop that"
The topic gets her thinking about the fact that there is a certain coffee that is made from cat poop so taking that into account something like selling your own farts seems probable. The chat says it is different and she wonders how they mean, and still can't wrap her head around how it is delivered until someone suggests it being stuffed into a pet bottle, to which she says that won't it be used up the second you take off the lid and it gets mixed with the air? Is there even a point to buying it in that case?
She breaks off and asks why is it that we are trying to seriously discuss this publicly in the first place, she blames it on the chat saying that it looks like they are getting really worked up at having a conversation about farts and says they love farts too much, it even looks like they are more excited talking about farts than at the time of the live. The conversation trickles off into finally someone telling her not to read out comments about this topic and she says that's right, she can just do that.

>Today's Goro-nyan corner(1:41:30)
Someone asks for today's Goro-corner and she thinks for a bit and says that recently she has only taken pictures of him sleeping, since most of the time when she'll check in on him he'll be sleeping. Someone asks if he is doing well and she says he's fine, just sleeps a lot during the day and gets very energetic at night. Furthermore she says that there are times he really gets into this "Hunter mode" of his, to the point where she feels like she has done something wrong, like it feels like he wants to bite at her, like he has become a cat that is hunting for prey. Because if she just gets close to him when he is like this he'll quickly run away somewhere, and she wonders if it is just his instincts acting up since it is like he is getting excited over something.
Someone asks if it isn't just a change in personality from the castration and she thinks it isn't because of that rather for the better he seems to have stopped play-biting, and sure it wasn't like he was biting a lot before but it happened a few times but now he doesn't do it at all. Sure he might still do it if he gets really upset but normally even if she is forcing him in some way he won't do it. Before when he'd do that she'd exaggeratedly scream "It hurts!" which would surprise Goro and make him stop, but recently she doesn't even have to do that.
Perhaps he has mellowed out she wonders since it seems he has calmed down in general and his tendency to become lonely also seems to have gone away, although he will still try to be in a place where there is at least someone visible. Someone asks if he has been scratching up their walls and she says he doesn't, he'll diligently sharpen his claws at the sharpening post.

A nousagi asks her if she has inhaled her cat* and she says she hasn't and asks what that even means, she has hugged him but not inhaled him, what from her cat should she inhale even? The chat teases her by acting surprised at her not doing it/knowing it and she asks where should she even do that? She finally reads a comment telling her it is about smelling the cat up close and she says that considering her allergy getting that up close to him would be terrible for her even if she does take medicine for it since it gets rough once the effect runs out, so she can't go that far but she does hug him.
On that topic she says that lately he has been coming to her bed and since cats shed hair, when that builds up there have been times where her nose has been very runny, but even if the allergy is giving her trouble he is too cute and loveable for her to care, as long as she can suppress the effects with medicine.

The chat brings up using a roller to clean up the hair and she says she does and on that note she says that black clothing, like pants and shoes, isn't it embarrassing how easily cat hair can be seen on it? Because now before she leaves the house and she is wearing black she checks herself to see that there isn't hair stuck anywhere. It really stands out and there was one time she left without paying attention to it and noticed when she was outside that it looked like her pants were dirty until she realized it was cat hair. So these days she uses a roller on her stuff and even bag to make sure there isn't hair stuck there. She then says that for the people who own a cat themselves they'll probably just know and think that; "Ah she has a cat" whereas people who doesn't know about how it is might just think she looks filthy. Someone from that chat says that it happens with dogs too and she wasn't really aware of that, and someone continues to say that it might even be worse with dogs especially when they change fur.
She a pet talk like this to be a lot of fun since everybody surely considers their own bet to be the best. And on that topic she says that she'd like to do a stream like that one day, considering there are a lot of Holomembers with pets she'd like to have a sort of pet talk where they bring up stories and pictures of their pet.

*The word used is 吸う which means things like suck, inhale, absorb etc and the idea of 猫吸い(NekoSui) is to bury your face in its fur and breathe in, but Pekora doesn't really land on that meaning.
