>Sick catWhile she was sick, all she did was sleep. She couldn’t even go out for food, so she used Uber Eats a bunch. Her actual fatigue, coughs, and temperature only lasted for a couple days, but she was really worried by her loss of taste and smell. The doctor told her it probably would return soon enough, but that her runny nose and nasally voice might take longer. Even now, she’s able to stream, but her voice is still off, which is really problematic for voice recording sessions, so she’s still a little panicked even now. She’s making sure to take her medicine, but it’s still taking a while. Sitting in front of the computer made her feel bad too, so she was laying down and just watching anime instead. Seeing the Onigirya is her healing, so not being able to was really rough on her.
>AnimeWhat anime did she watch? Di Gi Charat and Lucky Star. Watching anything with too much power would just tire sick Okayu out, so she chose to watch cute anime instead. It was Okayu’s first time watching Di Gi Charat, though she’d seen some of the characters before, but the way the characters emoted and moved really struck her weak point. She’s watching the original on Amazon Prime, not the Reiwa one. Their mouths when they eat are so cute, Okayu’s too in love with it.The style and atmosphere is just too good. Okayu might like the Galaxy Angels show too then? She’s never heard of that one! Okayu really just loves shows with small, cute characters. It really feels like the comedic style of the Super Famicom Puyo Puyo games that she loved.
>Present from Mane-chanOkayu suddenly gets a message from Mane-chan. They told Okayu to tell them when she was doing a reflection stream on the live, but she’s off today, so Okayu didn’t want to bother her. “I told you to tell me! Here’s a present from the animation team! Feel free to show it on stream!” Okayu shows it off on stream. She has no words, other than “sorry” to Mane-chan, who she fires off a quick apology to. Isn’t this amazing? She’s so happy. She wants to put it up in her background somewhere.
>Goods and re-runsPeople have been asking for the hoodie for years, and it’s finally here. Okayu promises that your voices were heard, it just took a while. The only reason it’s here now is thanks to you guys, same with the Okanyan cup and Onigirya plushie. Okayu really doesn’t want to make you feel like she’s coercing you to buy this stuff, but if you’re on the ropes, it’s really hard to do another run of old goods now. In the past, it was tricky, but it was still possible to do another run of something that had been sold before, like her mousepad, but it’s even more difficult now.
>More hoodie talkOkayu’s excited to be able to spot Onigirya wearing this at lives or expos. When Mio released her hoodie, Okayu got really excited seeing all the people wearing it, and wanted something like that. She also really liked the feel of Mio’s hoodie(she has one, of course), and tried to get something that felt similar, which lead to her sending back the fabric samples 3 times. The Onigirya sample was really cute too.
>Near futureOkayu wants to make sure her nose is in good condition before her next stream, so she’ll leave today’s superchat reading for next time. She also has that ASMR collab with Nodoka on the 26th. Okayu was worried about transmitting her cold, so she asked if she could just do it digitally, but apparently that was tricky to do, so she’ll be there in person. She’s still a little worried, and considering putting on 50 masks to avoid risk of contamination. If she feels okay after that, she might have a stream later that day. There’s also more Okayu wants to talk about, like how she went out on a dinner date with Amamiya-chan after the live, but that will have to wait till next time. Again, Okayu wants to thank everybody, and feels lonely that she can’t relax and read the superchats like she loves doing, but she hopes she’ll be fully-recovered soon. Until the next time everybody!
