>>9443888Not the previous anon but I think you're right but that there's also more reasons. I'm gonna use her collabs with Marine to explain my reasoning as she's the most common collab partner and likely her best friend in hololive.
From both Marine and Kanata we know that they interact on the daily but their streams tend to be much more spread out, I think that's because as you said since they talk all the time they don't feel the need to collab and also their collabs lately have all been really creative like the tasting challenge or the lie detector.
Regarding the confidence issues bit, that's definitely there but I think that its at least getting better over time. If i remember correctly around a week ago in superchat reading, Kanata was talking about how she banters a lot with Marine off stream but wasn't sure how far to take it on stream in fear of offending the ichimis and they convinced her that they don't mind at all which lead to the lie detector collab where they were noticeably more scathing in their exchanges and open with their off stream weirdness. Feels like at least in her collabs with Marine we're getting a more comfortable and unfiltered Kanata at least.
