[00:00] Hareru
    Okay!
[00:01] Hareru
    We've got everyone's
     guest parts down perfectly!
[00:04] Hareru
    Great work!
[00:06] Staff
    Let's take a break!
[00:07] Sei
    Great work!
[00:08] Shion
    Great work today!
[00:10] Nekoma
    Nice work!
[00:11] Shion
    Being on this big stage
    really is kind of breathtaking!
[00:16] Hareru
    Takes you back, huh?
[00:18] Hareru
    When you first made your debut,
    you guys were really struggling.
[00:22] Nekoma
    I wasn't struggling!
[00:24] Nekoma
    I did whatever I wanted to do.
[00:26] Nekoma
    I'm just kind of a chill person in general.
[00:29] Nekoma
    But these two were in trouble!
[00:31] Shion
    Well, I joined this world after
    watching Hareru-senpai hit it big,
[00:34] Shion
    imagining it to be a glorious, shining place,
[00:37] Shion
    so I got one heck of a rude awakening!
[00:39] Shion
    Prepping for streams was so hard,
[00:42] Shion
    and I had to deal with equipment trouble
    and all kinds of comments online...
[00:46] Shion
    I was overcome with the reality
    that it wasn't going to be that easy.
[00:53] Hareru
    But after a while, you found your niche.
[00:57] Hareru
    Because more people started liking you
    for who you really are, Oshio.
[01:03] Shion
    That's why it's such a relief right now!
[01:07] Hareru
    There, there!
[01:09] Sei
    I don't think you ever needed
    to worry about me.
[01:13] Hareru/Shion/Nekoma
    We totally did!
[01:14] Nekoma
    You were in serious trouble
    at the start there, Sei!
[01:17] Shion
    Part of the early hardship I mentioned before
    was worrying about you, Sei-sama!
[01:22] Hareru
    You really were a bit extra
     back then, Sei-Sei.
[01:25] Sei
    Though I do believe I made
    the biggest splash out of all of us.
[01:29] Sei
    Still, where did this all come from?
[01:33] Sei
    When I heard you say you were doing
    a concert, I couldn't believe it.
[01:36] Shion
    Yeah!
[01:37] Shion
    You don't really enjoy the spotlight
    as much as you might seem to...
[01:41] Nekoma
    I was really curious about that, too!
[01:44] Nekoma
    It's a real mystery move!
[01:47] Hareru
    I'm still keeping that secret!
[01:49] Hareru
    You can wait to the very end to find out!
[01:51] Shion
    Aww!
[01:52] Sei
    Now, now.
[01:53] Nekoma
    No fun!
[01:54] Hareru
    Now, I'd better get to work on the second half!
[01:58] Hareru
    See you at the big show, everyone!
[02:00] Shion/Sei/Nekoma
    Right!
[02:04] Hareru
    They really have grown.
[02:08] Hareru
    Awacchi!
[02:09] Hareru
    We'll have the big surprise,
    then close it out together.
[02:12] Hareru
    Work with me, okay?
[02:13] Awayuki
    R-Right!
SIGN    VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral
    after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream
[03:49] Awayuki/Hareru
    Cheers!
[03:54] Hareru
    Great work at rehearsal! Thanks so much!
[03:57] Awayuki
    It sure was work, yeah.
[03:59] Hareru
    It's turning out great. I can't wait.
[04:02] Hareru
    You think everyone else will enjoy it too?
[04:04] Awayuki
    They're going to love it!
[04:06] Awayuki
    The whole world's been waiting
    for your first concert, after all!
[04:10] Hareru
    That gets me excited.
[04:12] Hareru
    Here, some thank-you barbecue!
[04:14] Awayuki
    Thank you so much!
[04:15] Awayuki
    Down the hatch!
[04:23] Awayuki
    So good!
[04:24] Hareru
    This rocks!
[04:25] Awayuki
    You really are incredible, though.
[04:29] Hareru
    Huh? How so?
[04:30] Awayuki
    You've been enjoying yourself all day, right?
[04:33] Awayuki
    I've been struggling
    just to master this one song.
[04:36] Hareru
    I'm just kind of doing what feels right to me.
[04:39] Awayuki
    That's what makes you amazing!
[04:41] Awayuki
    I admire you so much.
[04:42] Hareru
    Really? It makes me blush when
    you say that to my face...
[04:48] Hareru
    but I've actually felt the same way
    about you, Shuwacchi.
[04:54] Awayuki
    Really?
[04:56] Awayuki
    Er... How so?
[04:58] Hareru
    Well, more precisely,
[05:01] Hareru
    I wanted to be kind of like the Awacchi
    from before you revealed your true colors.
[05:05] Awayuki
    The way I used to be?
[05:07] Awayuki
    That boring old thing?
[05:08] Hareru
    Yeah, yeah.
[05:10] Awayuki
    You could deny the "boring" part, at least.
[05:15] Awayuki
    But you said it in the past tense...
    Does that mean you don't anymore?
[05:20] Hareru
    Yeah, I guess not.
[05:22] Awayuki
    I guess you wouldn't want to turn into
    a drunken, dirty-talking, womanizing lout.
[05:30] Hareru
    It's not like that at all.
[05:31] Hareru
    I just realized I have to be
    who I am, that's all.
[05:36] Hareru
    Do you want to try to be
    anyone else, Shuwacchi?
[05:41] Awayuki
    Me?
[05:47] Awayuki
    I'm having tons of fun every day now.
[05:50] Awayuki
    There's no way I'd willingly let go of that.
[05:53] Awayuki
    So...
[05:57] Awayuki
    At the very least, I don't want
    to be anyone else right now.
[06:01] Hareru
    I see.
[06:02] Hareru
    Yeah, yeah! Great answer!
[06:06] Hareru
    Help yourself to more barbecue!
[06:08] Awayuki
    Thanks a bunch!
[06:10] Awayuki
    Ah, I'm stuffed.
[06:18] Awayuki
    Guess it's almost here...
SIGN    Asagiri Hareru 1st Live
    Hallelujah
SIGN    Congrats on Your Performance
    Asagiri Hareru-sama
    From your fans
SIGN    It's a full house!
[06:31] Hareru
    Nervous?
[06:34] Awayuki
    C-Could you tell?
[06:36] Hareru
    It's totally obvious.
[06:38] Hareru
    I get it, though.
[06:39] Hareru
    We're holding a major concert with a
    1.35 billion air guitarist accompaniment.
[06:46] Awayuki
    That's just amazing.
[06:48] Awayuki
    Given that Earth only has so many,
[06:50] Awayuki
    there must be players from
    other planets coming too, right?
[06:52] Awayuki
    Shouldn't we have the venue
    in Alaska or something?
[06:55] Hareru
    All land in Alaska is being used for the
     world boiled egg olympics, so they said no.
[07:00] Awayuki
    I see.
[07:02] Awayuki
    Though I'm not sure how big a quality
    difference you can get with boiled eggs...
[07:06] Hareru
    But hey, it's no problem!
[07:08] Hareru
    If we make use of the full length,
    width, and height of this venue,
[07:10] Hareru
    I'm sure we'll be able to accommodate everyone!
[07:13] Awayuki
    You're suggesting having the audience
    stand on each other's shoulders?
[07:17] Awayuki
    So that's what the group gymnastics
    classes in elementary school were for!
[07:25] Awayuki
    It's amazing. She's smiling
    the way she always does.
[07:29] Awayuki
    Just looking at her is enough to
    reassure me and put me at ease.
[07:32] Awayuki
    I wonder what's going through
    her head right now...
[07:35] Hareru
    I'm so nervous!
[07:38] Awayuki
    You're... nervous?
[07:40] Hareru
    You bet I am!
[07:42] Hareru
    Wanna listen to my heartbeat?
[07:44] Awayuki
    Um, sure, if I may.
[07:53] Awayuki
    Wow, yeah.
[07:55] Awayuki
    Are you afraid of the concert?
[07:57] Hareru
    Hmm, not the concert so much.
[08:00] Hareru
    I know I can make that a big success.
[08:03] Awayuki
    But your heart really is racing!
[08:06] Hareru
    I've been wanting to stand on stage
    with you for so long, Awacchi.
[08:10] Hareru
    That's what I'm nervous about.
[08:12] Awayuki
    Huh?
[08:13] Staff
    Hareru-san!
[08:14] Staff
    Please get on standby!
[08:16] Hareru
    Right!
[08:19] Hareru
    Time to get going, I guess!
[08:26] Awayuki
    Maybe she was just teasing me,
[08:29] Awayuki
    but it didn't feel like that.
[08:32] Awayuki
    Is she finally going to tell me
    the real feelings she's been hiding
[08:35] Awayuki
    since she decided to hold the concert?
[08:47] Awayuki
    Hareru-senpai's really enjoying herself, huh?
[08:50] Suzuki
    Yes, I think so.
[08:53] Awayuki
    Suzuki-san.
[08:54] Suzuki
    Yes?
[08:55] Awayuki
    What kind of person
    do you think Hareru-senpai is?
[09:00] Suzuki
    Well...
[09:02] Suzuki
    She's my senpai too, so I don't
    know if I should say this,
[09:07] Suzuki
    but she's a very awkward person.
[09:10] Suzuki
    I didn't think of her that way
    until a little while ago either,
[09:14] Suzuki
    but Hareru-san explained to the rest of us
    on staff her reason for doing this concert,
[09:22] Suzuki
    and it was really very awkward.
[09:24] Hareru
    Okay, it's time for the last song!
[09:29] Hareru
    However! We've got a surprise prepared, and
    lemme tell you, we've saved the best for last!
[09:38] Suzuki
    Awayuki-san.
[09:40] Awayuki
    Y-Yes?
[09:41] Suzuki
    You're far, far more amazing
    than you give yourself credit for.
[09:45] Suzuki
    So go out there with your head held high.

[09:55] Hareru
    Now, it's time for our special guest
    to make her appearance!
[09:58] Hareru
    Presenting Kokorone Awayuki-chan!
[10:02] Audience Girl
    Awayuki-chan!
[10:02] Awayuki
    Hello, everyone! I'm Kokorone Awayuki!
[10:04] Audience Girl
    Looking frothy again today!
[10:07] Hareru
    Awacchi! Thanks again for joining me today!
[10:10] Awayuki
    The pleasure's all mine! I'm extremely
    honored to have been invited.
[10:14] Hareru
    But being in front of all these people
    leaves you parched with nervousness, right?
[10:19] Hareru
    Why don't we both have some water first?
[10:21] Awayuki
    What a good idea!
[10:24] Hareru
    Huh?
[10:25] Awayuki
    Yes?
[10:26] Hareru
    What did you just open?
[10:28] Awayuki
    Water. Why?
[10:29] Hareru
    Really?
[10:30] Hareru
    That didn't sound like opening up a bottle
    of pure, innocent water to me...
[10:35] Hareru
    Oh, well. I'll drink some too!
[10:38] Audience Girl
    How's the water?!
[10:41] Awayuki
    Feels great!
[10:43] Awayuki
    Ah, what is it?
[10:45] Hareru
    You just sounded like you were enjoying your
    "water" way more than a normal person would.
[10:50] Awayuki
    It tasted better than usual
    because I was so thirsty!
[10:53] Hareru
    Really for real?
[10:55] Hareru
    You didn't maybe drink something
    a little bit stronger?
[10:58] Awayuki
    Well, if you use a very broad
    definition of "water"...
[11:01] Hareru
    So you did drink StroZero!
[11:06] Hareru
    As for why I had Shuwacchi show up right now,
[11:10] Hareru
    this is our first big collab
     with just the two of us.
[11:16] Awayuki
    Yes! So let's make it a really big show!
[11:21] Hareru
    Because it's a collab between Live-On's
    first ace and its next-generation ace, right?
[11:25] Hareru
    We've gotta pull out all the stops!
[11:28] Hareru
    But first...
[11:30] Hareru
    There's a song I'd like Shuwacchi,
    our listeners,
[11:33] Hareru
    and all the streamers of Live-On to hear.
[11:39] Hareru
    Lyrics and music by me.
[11:41] Hareru
    The song is called "My Story."
[11:44] Hareru
    I wrote it just for today,
    and I probably won't sing it again.
[11:49] Hareru
    It's an ultra-rare collectible, okay?
[11:54] Awayuki
    Hey, you didn't tell me anything about this...
[11:56] Hareru
    I told you there'd be a surprise, remember?
[11:59] Hareru
    I'm not sure if you'll be happy about it...
[12:03] Hareru
    But I do hope you'll listen to it.
[12:10] Hareru
    Oh, crap!
[12:11] Hareru
    I think I really am getting embarrassed now...
[12:14] Hareru
    Look, this really is just me
    talking about myself,
[12:17] Hareru
    so anyone who doesn't like
    that stuff should mute up.
[12:19] Hareru
    And if you're in the concert venue,
    do an analog mute with your hands!
[12:24] Hareru
    Okay? Everyone ready?
[12:26] Hareru
    Then... Music, please.
[12:41] Awayuki
    It was the path one girl took.
[12:46] Awayuki
    A girl with exceptional intelligence.
[12:50] Awayuki
    She wasn't accepted by those around her.
[12:54] Awayuki
    She was afraid to be alone.
[12:56] Awayuki
    As a result, she put on a mask
    and went through life hiding who she was.
[13:02] Awayuki
    She lived day after day in monotony,
    with a hole in her heart.
[13:07] Awayuki
    Then the girl met four people
    she could call her friends.
[13:13] Awayuki
    For better or for worse,
    she caught a glimpse
[13:16] Awayuki
    of her hidden, original self
    in those four dreamers,
[13:19] Awayuki
    and her heart began to grow lighter.
[13:24] Awayuki
    Color came to her dark, gray days.
[13:28] Hareru
    Soon, the four friends,
    dreaming of success, created Live-On,
[13:33] Hareru
    and the girl, as a founding member,
    began a hard life as an office worker.
[13:40] Hareru
    Then, as payback to the people
    who had changed her empty life,
[13:45] Hareru
    she became their prototype
    VTuber, Asagiri Hareru.
[13:51] Hareru
    She'd worn a mask all this time,
    but to achieve success as a VTuber,
[13:56] Hareru
    she had to go back to who she was.
[14:00] Hareru
    She had to stamp down
    her fear of being alone again.
[14:05] Hareru
    But the four friends smiled and accepted her.
[14:09] Hareru
    And for the first time, she could
    show her true self in front of others.
[14:14] Hareru
    And then...
[14:17] Hareru
    she became me.
[14:24] Hareru
    More than a streamer, I consider myself
    a member of the Live-On staff.
[14:31] Hareru
    That's why...
[14:33] Hareru
    When my streamer kohai grew up enough
    that they could all be fine without me...
[14:39] Hareru
    I'd planned on stepping back
[14:41] Hareru
    and going back to supporting
    Live-On from behind the scenes.
[14:46] Hareru
    I didn't like the idea of standing in front
    of you while I was feeling that way.
[14:50] Hareru
    I'm really sorry.
[14:54] Awayuki
    The meaning behind her words right now...
[14:58] Hareru
    Live-On's really grown, hasn't it?
[15:01] Hareru
    Live-On won't fail now,
    even if I'm not leading it.
[15:06] Awayuki
    This is... Asagiri Hareru's retirement.
[15:10] Awayuki
    I can't—
[15:11] Hareru
    But!
[15:14] Hareru
    Then I started to feel another way, too!
[15:18] Hareru
    It started when our second-genners
    first started becoming famous.
[15:21] Hareru
    And when I knew it for sure was...
[15:24] Hareru
    when Kokorone Awayuki-chan's
    accidental stream ended up going viral!
[15:31] Hareru
    I started thinking,
    "what a fun group of people."
[15:33] Hareru
    I wanted to know more about
    these unpredictable people,
[15:36] Hareru
    be closer to them,
[15:40] Hareru
    and stand on the same stage as them!
[15:44] Hareru
    At first, I thought I'd become
    a different streamer
[15:46] Hareru
    so I could watch them from close by
    without worrying about our positions.
[15:51] Hareru
    But that's not enough for me now.
[15:53] Hareru
    I want to be with them as the person I am!
[15:58] Hareru
    I want to remain a VTuber.
[16:01] Hareru
    That's the feeling that's grown within me.
[16:04] Hareru
    So please, everyone, listen to my selfish wish!
[16:09] Hareru
    Let me be a VTuber...
[16:11] Hareru
    Let me be Asagiri Hareru!
[16:17] Awayuki
    I decided for myself
    that we lived in different worlds.
[16:27] Awayuki
    But I was wrong.
[16:30] Awayuki
    Hareru-senpai is just like me.
[16:33] Awayuki
    She's just an awkward...
    normal person, like anyone.
[16:37] Hareru
    Please, Shuwacchi.
[16:41] Hareru
    I don't want to stand above or below you,
    to your left or to your right.
[16:45] Hareru
    I want to stand on the same stage as you!
[16:49] Hareru
    Will you accept this new Asagiri Hareru?
[16:57] Hareru
    Shuwacchi?
[16:58] Awayuki
    What am I supposed to do?
[17:00] Awayuki
    I totally forgot all the choreography!
[17:02] Hareru
    Hey, it's fine! I really drilled it into you.
[17:06] Hareru
    Even if you forget it, your body remembers!
[17:10] Awayuki
    Don't make it into a double entendre!
[17:13] Hareru
    Well? Can you handle it?
[17:17] Hareru
    Okay! Now, please witness...
[17:21] Awayuki
    ...our very first collab song!
[17:24] Awayuki
    The song's name is...
[17:25] Awayuki/Hareru
    Diamond Dust!
[18:57] Awayuki
    I thought I was totally insignificant.
[19:02] Awayuki
    I couldn't even accept myself
    at the start, but...
[19:07] Awayuki
    At some point, I grew comfortable with
    being called the third gen's ace
[19:11] Awayuki
    and learned to hold my head up high.
[19:12] Awayuki
    I became able to mentor
    the newcomers as their senpai.
[19:20] (Flashback) Hareru
    Pretty good, right?
[19:21] (Flashback) Hareru
    I know just what to call it, too!

    "Diamond Dust"...

    A phenomenon where moisture in the
    atmosphere freezes into ice crystals,
[19:31] (Flashback) Awayuki
    and reflects the sunlight as it falls, right?
[19:33] (Flashback) Hareru
    Well?
[19:35] Hareru
    It's perfect for us, right?
[19:37] Awayuki
    Yeah. It's the only thing you could call it!

    Well, everyone.

    Isn't this another lovely

    I'm Kokorone Awayuki.
[20:14] Hareru
    Hey, hey, hey!
[20:16] Hareru
    I'm the rising sun in everyone's heart,
    newbie VTuber Asagiri Hareru!
[20:21] Awayuki
    Oh? Was that always your greeting?
[20:24] Hareru
    I'm a new VTuber, remember?
[20:26] Hareru
    I thought up a catchy new greeting
    to make you all remember my name!
[20:31] Awayuki
    I'm not quite sure what to make
    of our relative status.

    and peer all at once!
SIGN    Asagiri Hareru 1st Live
    Hallelujah
[20:41] Awayuki
    So you're easy, then?
[20:43] Awayuki
    I completely understand.
[20:44] Hareru
    H-Huh? I think you misunderstood me there...
[20:48] Awayuki
    Was I wrong?
[20:49] Hareru
    Definitely!
[20:50] Awayuki
    Ah, to summarize for those who don't know,
SIGN    Concert then offline collab... they got closer at mach speed
     H-Huh???!!
     The mother of all Live-On streamers... She's a major newbie
     roflcopter attack
     That cute "Definitely!"
     Looks like they're good friends now lololol
     Forcing an in-person meeting but defenseless
     No sign of the earlier one-sided admiration
     She mentioned a concert afterparty on Cheeper,
    so maybe that's where they got closer
    Awa-chan's really learned how to handle Harerun, too
    Definitely!!!
     I love how Awa-chan plays dumb
[20:54] Awayuki
    after Hareru-senpai's decision
    to turn over a new leaf at the concert,
[20:58] Awayuki
    anything and everything goes with her.
[21:01] Awayuki
    Please give her a warm welcome!
[21:03] Hareru
    Yeah, I've totally started rewriting my past.
[21:06] Hareru
    Yesterday's tears are tomorrow's cm,
    I guess you could say.
[21:09] Awayuki
    What are you saying? No dirty talk, now!
[21:12] Hareru
    Hey, what's your problem?!
[21:16] Hareru
    And now that I'm focusing on streamer stuff,
[21:19] Hareru
    I'm gonna be doing lots more concerts!
[21:21] Hareru
    I'll probably do collabs more often, too!
[21:24] Hareru
    So...
[21:25] Hareru
    Please give your best to this new streamer*
    finally joining the party, Asagiri Hareru!
[21:29] Awayuki
    Let's meet again when the light snow falls.
