Ayame Comeback Zatsu/Karaoke Stream Summary
>Today she was streaming from the studio because her home setup isn't ready quite yet. Should be soon though. Lots of things happened while moving because first she had to look for a house, settle down on it and then work out how to get the lines to get everything up and running. Had a little mix up with her ISP which cut off her internet in her own place early and delayed switching it over to her for a month. During that downtime she bought lots and lots of new streaming equipment which should make streaming both easier and more pleasing for everyone around. SHE ALSO DID IT ALL BY HERSELF! No help from Mama Mio or Noel! Also her cat Zir had a bit of trouble settling in, but he eventually gave in and got used to it. Probably beat up my oshi too just like a cat would.
>On the topic of streaming, lots of people asked if she could use the studio and she said it's not that easy to just book a studio stream since Japan is still in lockdown and it's really hard to book the studio for streaming. Gotta do that stuff WEEKS ahead of time if you want to set up one or two streams. Actually did want to stream some time though. She sometimes even felt super down because she there were things that were out of her hand and felt super pressed with time so she was super stressed out. Didn't want to stream when she was feeling this way because she'd rather do a stream where everyone has fun watching her instead of being worried about her. She wants them all to smiling not worrying about her. Now that moving process has finished successfully, she's a lot calmer now.
>On why she didn't join Usaken Festival, she wasn't in the correct mindset for it. She saw the time when it was beind held, saw how hard working all the Holos were with streaming their preparations and felt it would unironically be rude of her to make a promise to make it when she doesn't even know if she could make it. Didn't want to bother any of her fans or her Holomates with her unstable schedule. Basically she was deathly afraid of joining because she did no preparations and she felt it wasn't right to just hop in when she did absolutely nothing for it. Says she'll definitely join the next one and apologized profusely for making her fans worry.
>During her Tubeout concert with Mio, it was the first time she met Ichika from Animare and Met from 774 and it was there where she realized that her shyness and social anxiety actually SOMEHOW GOT WORST. Apparently she can't even talk correctly to others now, like how the other day where she went to the studio and saw a bunch of Holomembers she hadn't seen in a while (Fubuki, Korone) and new faces (Lamy) and the only thing she could do is stutter out her sentences and then spill all her spaghetti like a true dork. Also during her break, she got a brand new manager and she couldn't even respond properly to her new coworker. Wants to get along with her in the future and hopes that she didn't come across as someone with a cold attitude.
>Once again went on a tirade on how she sounds while singing but was forced to admit that she feels like she's been growing. Recently realized that she just really loves to sing and that's why she's been working so incredibly hard during vocal lessons. Called listening to herself sing as literal hell but even she had to concede that she's taken a tiny, little step in becoming a better singer. Since even she felt something like that, she calls her lessons a great success and will continue to work hard on the lessons.
>Has been cooking a lot more recently because her new living space has a bigger kitchen. Talked about how she was goaded by her father to eat bell peppers when she was younger because he used to be a smug little bastard and go "Hooh, you can't even eat something like bell peppers?" which made her upset and scarf them down just so she can be smug about it. She cannot handle tomatoes at all. Other things like pizza sauce or ketchup is fine but if its just tomatoes she can't do it. She always pulls out the tomatoes in salads and cannot forgive folks who do super diced tomatoes because she can't take them out. I resonate with this because to hell with all tomatoes but tomato byproducts are a-ok!
Because she was streaming at the studio she had to make the touch decision to either read supachats in a different stream or off stream which she despises.
TL;DR Ayame cute! Hope she gets everything in her home finally set up so she can stream with her new mic. Also she's got a new cover that's going to be released any time now so look out for it.
