Otsonny!! HAPPY BIRTH! My older male relative of unspecified relation is two years old today! It wasn't a game-filled relay like some birthdays are but man it was still a lot of fun. Karaoke was /a/utist kino even if he destroyed his voice beforehand; he was pretty low energy for his LGIS opener but even the nyaruko-san OP was a lot better once he warmed up some and started having more fun with it. He recorded his own backing vocals for a lot of the songs too! He's talked about wanting to make karaokes something special and I think little things like that help that feeling. I do really want another unarchived karaoke with more English songs someday (please.....i need him to sing creep again), but this was a really good setlist. The free ED, haru yo koi (aniki...), him doing the little WEHs in lemon... It was a very SOVL little concert. Even if he went too hard practicing before stream and had a few voice breaks because of his throat being in shit condition I hope he's not too hard on himself, he still did really well all things considered and I'm really proud of him for just going for it in spite of those factors. I love his voice and passion so much and will patiently wait for the fanmixes... I still listen to his kick back at least a few times a week. God I'm so excited for his cover to release, whenever and whatever that may be.
The call-ins were really enjoyable, i think I generally prefer the 1-on-1s over big group calls. Ueee what a long totsu with 30+ people from both EN and the main branch, I'm so proud of him for talking a lot. Lot of cute interactions... Vox being a mario autist before his own stream, pio-chan gifting him bug fables, shu's handmade party hat, reimu and fuuchan indulging briskadets' M tendencies, the awkwardness of his convo with Enna (said affectionately KEK), mysta's hypotheticals that got him thinking late into the night, mikoto's shinobu impression, aia's little presentation, sonny-sensei quizzing suha as a follow-up to their collab months ago, him and elira bonding over free, man i could go on... For the most part he was actually doing fine without the deck, a lot of the times it was just him asking a question before they left if he remembered to. The first few questions gave him opportunities to talk about some of his favorite topics (food and VA) and the last couple made for some surprisingly deep discussions sometimes. Plenty of guests went over 10min too, there were some really good convos! He even got to speak to some people on-stream for the first time like azura (i actually think that was his first time really speaking to her at all) or oliver. My introvert husband is so charismatic... everyone gave him a lot of praise and little gifts and he was so sweet to them in turn. Ahhh I'm so sleepy after that and I wasn't even the one talking, but I'm really happy. 7 hours...! He was tired by the end and forgot to shill his own merch again but he was cute.
I couldn't afford the full set this year because there was some other stuff I wanted to buy but I'm still bummed about the tapestry being kill. The VP was really sweet though! I'm still fond of last year's but this one is probably better speaking objectively even if it was a little shorter, it was less cheesy as cute as last year's was. I really love when he writes the script and puts more of his own personality in.... I would sell my soul and my firstborn son for the opportunity to hug him even once. Please continue that scenario someday sonny... I hate how smooth you can be. I'd write at length about my undying love but I already did that for the new year and anniversary. Sonny is so important to me and even though today was a bit simple like last year and it's just a fake silly vtuber birthday, he (and everyone else who came on) made it something special. So much beautiful art too, and the cookbook is really cute. Sonny big rabu!!! Thank you so much for today taichou, you did really well in both karaoke and talking to everyone. Please rest your throat and hopefully your social battery can recharge a bit before mengen tomorrow... but if you're really low energy or even have to cancel then that's okay too. I love you a lot, please get some good food and have a nice long sleep! o7
