>>9825284its already very hard for foreigners to understand her soran bushi. its a serious old traditional japanese song but also seen as a funny song. her singing that in her unique way gives japanese a special impression. like she looks like a yokel girl but also a modern anime character. miko was actually flabbergasted by that. marine was also blown away by kanatas rap. (the streaming version was self-nurfed because the original one marine listened to in offline was possibly bannable or too inappropriate to stream.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNQKV2lkjyApart of her talent is very traditionally japanese, but its not all about her. shes also very modern. like i said, her personality crosses many genres borders. she often uses very formal hyojungo expressions and acts like some trained geisha, but also uses a ghettoish kansai dialect like a loud aunt. on top of that both versions of kanata arent awkward at all. she can balance very naturally between such contradictory things. she has many such cross-boarder characteristics. not to mention, all of these are hard to translate because heavily cultural.
although you can enjoy her without being aware of these things. most of her streams dont have so much with these things. shes cute and fun enough without them. plenty of jp fans just enjoy her cuteness. in mc/zatsudan streams or sc reading, she often brings them. or in her own unique/quirky streams.
>>9826013i only talk about vtubing or a vtuber seriously on this thread lol. as you said, her western fanbase is clearly smaller than other holos, if not the smallest, but i find it funny that she filters eops that way. so i assume that western kanata fans are pretty trained ones compared to others. also its fun and worthwhile to understand kanata. from my perspective, shes "the hardest mode of holo jp" for foreigners or weebs. also i was really glad that kanata and marine got very close because both were my oshis. their talk is definitely the most outspoken and open in holo jp.
