Okayu Utawaku & SD3 1/2
>Start
Okayu's a few minutes late because there was a lot to check with all the songs she wanted to sing to make sure everything was in order. She wants to do an utawaku/zatsudan hybrid because she wasn't able to stream yesterday, but ends up incorporating the zatsudan into the superchat portion more, because she finds it too hard to focus on anything besides the singing once she's in the mood for it. She had appointments all day yesterday, but even she was surprised with how late she got home(around 1 AM). She slept right when she got home though, so she's plenty rested. She spent a lot of time practicing, but still has no confidence for today's stream, which, other than her own song at the end, are songs that she's never performed before.
>Setlist
Yume Miru Sora he, Kakero, Hyakka Ryouran Hanafubuki, Shijou Shugi Adtruck, Mage of Violet, Taiyou Shoujo, Suspect, Mogu Mogu YUMMY!
>Condensed song thoughts
Okayu loves Kakero, and how it makes her feel the pain of being an adult in contrast to the kindness of Bluerose Suisei. Suisei really is amazing.
Hanafubuki sure is hard to sing solo, and works better with 3 people. She really likes the dance that goes with it too. Most of hololive's songs are pretty high in key, which she's not great at, but she's doing her best to practice.
Seeing Towa, Kanatan, and Watame sing Adtruck at Towa's live really made Okayu want to sing it, but once again it was even higher than she expected. Still, she loves it.
Mage of Violet really suits Shion, and is also rather hard to sing. Okayu loves Kairiki Bear, and was super excited to see that they had made the song. Shion normally sounds so cute, but is also really suited to cool songs. She's very talented.
Taiyou no Shoujou might be too bright for an Emperor of the Night like Okayu; though she really loves this one too. It really fits Subar; she is a woman of Summer. What does that make Okayu? A cat of the swamp, maybe? It makes her feel happy just to sing it. She usually listens to it in the bath.
Suspect sure is a sexy song; it feels good to sing the "Are you ready?" part. Okayu loves sexy songs like this one.
>Oshio-sensei
Okayu was happy to surprise her on Kanatan's stream; she likes Oshio too. They all chatted together for another hour after the stream ended. While Okayu talks casually to Kanata, she tried to speak politely to Oshio, but was told she didn't have to. Rather, Oshio really wanted to get along with Okayu, so she asked her to please speak to her casually too. Okayu felt kind of honored, and she's really happy about it.
>Tomorrow
More SD3 tomorrow. It should have been today, according to her schedule, but she didn't plan to be not streaming for 2 days either. Honestly, she wanted to stream it right after this stream, but her throats too tired from all the singing, and she doesn't want to worry everybody by hurting her throat, so she'll take it easy. She'll just shut her mouth and play Unite until she's ready for bed.
>Dancing
Okayu hasn't seen the Ohasuba where it's talked about yet, but she talks about getting dancing advice from Subaru. During the rehearsals for Mio's live, Okayu, the only one who wasn't adept at idol step, asked Subaru for some extra advice during their break. Subaru, rather passionately, did her best to help, but they only had about 20-30 minutes of free time to practice. Okayu feels like the result was her just walking like a crab, but Subaru was very positive about how she was improving. Okayu makes sure to practice those steps each day now, while drying her hair after bathing. She does it naked? I mean, she's still drying her hair, so yes. She still remembers Subaru's passion, and wants to be able to do the steps better next time, so practicing it has become routine. She also talks about the hip-shaking that she and Subaru did for Sashimio. Okayu may not be a good dancer, but coming up with the backdancing routine together with Subaru was a lot of fun.
>Mogu memories
Okayu's happy she had enough time to sing her own song today. That song holds a lot of memories for her. She's not sure yet, but she'd love if she could have another original out before year's end.
