>>73202833A Sukonbu then asked in the chat if she considers streaming to be work, then. She thought about it for a while and settled on the fact that it's both for her. She is the type that made her passion into her job so it never really feels like a chore or anything to her, it's just what she loves doing. It's both a hobby and work at the same time. If she thought of it as work or duty, something she HAS to do, she would probably not stream nearly as much as she does, she mostly treats it as a hobby or a time where she can relax. Streaming isn't even the biggest part of what she does at her job at Hololive, anyway. Streaming has just become a part of her everyday life and she has a lot of fun doing it. Sukonbu: "So if streaming doesn't feel like work to you, you basically have a 365 day weekend" She laughed at that. She thinks if you think of being a Vtuber as a job only, it would be hard to continue doing it, you kind of have to love what you do, too. It's a balancing act. Thinking more about it, streaming is basically a form of self-advertising for her. She gets to present herself to a lot of people in the hope that some of them stick around and get interested in what she has to offer. Someone asked her if the lessons are tough and she said only when her muscles ache afterwards, but she doesn't really have all that many lessons compared to other members. She usually only takes dance if she needs to learn a new choreography and the occasional voice training, while other members such as Watame do them constantly. Someone asked if speaking in her very first stream was tough and she said it was, it was 5 years ago and she doesn't really want to think about it too much. She had no idea what to talk about and over exaggerated her voice way too much. Thinking back, she didn't really have any idea what she was doing at the time. She likened it to talking on the phone with strangers, one's voice is weirdly high and one feels tense and stuff like that. She really doesn't recognize herself in the voice she used back then. But on the other hand, thinking back about it is very nostalgic and she doesn't really want to forget how it felt to be new back then.
Q: Are you not doing any collabs with the Holostars anymore?
She said she was wondering about the same thing, she hasn't really gotten many invites from them lately. She is actually planing to play Lethal Company with Aruran tomorrow, but other then that there hasn't been much lately. She said she wouldn't mind being invited more, but she's also often busy so it doesn't always work out. She also mentioned Oga has been playing MHW lately too, so she would like to play together as well if it's possible.
Q: I really love Fubuki-chan a lot, but I sometimes get lonely all of sudden. What can I do to feel better in these kind of times?
She says this feels really relatable to her and this also happens to her sometimes. This also happens sometimes with friends, she's close to a lot of people like Mio, the rest of Gamers, Bakatare Circus or Micomet, but there are also times where she suddenly feels really lonely and realizes she hasn't been hanging out with (some of) them much lately and then she also feels like she doesn't really know what to talk about with them or what to do with them and stuff like that. She likes to hug a stuffed toy when she feels like that and just drown out these bad feelings and distract herself with other fun stuff she loves doing until the feeling passes. That's just what human emotions are like, sometimes you feel like that for no particular reason. In times like these, one is prone to feel like one's feelings are in the way and it's easy to get frustrated at one's own feelings, but it's important to realize that it's fine to feel like this once in a while and accept oneself.
Q: Are there any plans for future 1kisei events?
She mentioned the 1kisei anniversary is coming up very soon and sort of implied they might do something for that. If you don't remember, they announced a while ago that instead of every member getting their individual anniversary live, from here on out anniversaries will be handled by generations, so that's probably what she was referring to. She obviously couldn't give any details. But other than that, they have nothing official in the pipeline for the time being. They do want to collab more, they had some plans to do it on a regular basis this year but that obviously got derailed by the Mel thing, but they want to get back to that eventually. They did have the Mahjong tournament thing yesterday, though! She then said that even if Mel is no longer a member, 1kisei needs to keep going for her sake and do her part a well. Even if Mel is not around anymore, they will always keep Konkapuing deep within their hearts. She hopes that she is doing well in the demon realm, it's not like she's dead or anything, she just went back home.
