Vol 1 Chapter 59 – MixCanticum

This photo shoot wrapped up quickly. So I was able to stream in the afternoon.

“Onii-chan, Onee-chan! Thanks for coming again today! Sorry for the weird ending last time!”

Speaking of last time’s live show, Ryo suddenly appeared and turned everything into a total mess.

Akiba Rin’s brother: Rin-chan!!

“Why is Onii-chan here!?”

This has got to be it: it’s Ryo in disguise. He said the little-sister vibe suits me, so there’s no doubt.

But even now, I have to fool myself into believing Ryo is my real brother. I have to remain everyone’s little brother.

Gin: You’re a lifesaver, Onii-chan.

Rina＠Gal: I’m off to get a sex change.

Dedede: Hey, instead of Onii-san and Onee-san, how about Onii-chan and Onee-chan? That’ll probably be more in demand.

Alen: I want you to call me Onii-chan.

Milke: Me too. And apparently Simon wants to be called that, too.

HatsuBread: Is Mr. Simon here again today!?

Osio: Whoa, this stream’s wild—a world-famous music producer showing up…

[Waa!]

[Guwah!?]

He’s developed a bro-complex.

Betoben: You monster!

Pine: No, he’s not a monster, right? They should get mad at the Katahi fans!

Glenda: The pride of England—[Ahhhhh!]

Elsa: Glenda… you’ll end up like that soon enough, too…

Glenda is a first-timer. She dropped in casually.

“Welcome, first-timers! From now on, I’ll call everyone Onii-chan, Onee-chan… is that okay?”

It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’ve already been through more than enough humiliating experiences. A grown adult wearing girls’ clothes in a magazine—that’s about as mortifying as it gets. So compared to that, this is nothing.

Gin: You look a bit embarrassed… cute. Of course we want to read it.

[Hehehe]

Rina＠Gal: Onee-chan…

Glenda: I’m the Onee-chan!!!

Elsa: That was quick!?

Mike: Simon really wants to hit the GB…

Alen: Simon…

There were plenty more comments, too. But every single one seemed to want that form of address. So of course I’ll call everyone Onii-chan and Onee-chan.

Well, putting that aside…

“Oh, by the way, today was the photo shoot for the September issue of KidsMonMo! And a collab with someone came up, so I gave it the OK.”

Gin:

[Tsk!]

[Yessssssssss!]

Glenda: Huh? What’s that?

Alen: It’s a Japanese kids’ fashion mag. Akiba Rin also models for it.

Elsa: We don’t live in Japan, so we can’t buy it…

Mike: I can’t wait to see it… Simon’s lamenting, too…

Osio: Was Mr. Simon ever that kind of guy?

[Waa!]

[Guwah!?]

He’s fallen, you know.

Chai ga sukii!: Let’s start a band! Venue: America!

Glenda: Why don’t I live in Japan…

Rina＠Gal: I’m looking forward to the September issue… Oh, by the way, there’s a blog about Rin-kun. Incidentally, it hasn’t gone viral. https://amoblo.jp/mirorin/entry-49490751

Dedede: Our signature move’s been stolen!!!

And with that, overseas folks lamented not living in Japan. It seems Japanese viewers are really looking forward to the September issue.

“Everyone, pretend you didn’t notice! And I’ll check out that blog later!”

Ameblo was honestly a blind spot. In Japan, VTubers are synonymous with otaku. But Ameblo influences a world beyond those otaku, too.

Well, in the first place I’m already recognized by non-otaku music personalities—but they were pros or near-pros. On Ameblo, there are non-otaku amateurs as well. I wonder if they’ll accept me…

Rina＠Gal: Daredarōna…

Gin: I can’t wait…

Dedede: Oresama, omae, maru kajiri

Dan-Gan: Hey, cut it out!

Michi Mama: Hey, don’t play around with Rin-kun!

Gin: Yay—‘me’! It happened to me!

[Hehehe]

Rina＠Gal: Ehehe… sorryyy~

“Alright, time for the main event! Keep those requests coming!”

Gin: Arigatou

Mike: SingingSea

Alen: Monochrome
