[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.

Thank you! I'm heading out!
[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!
SIGN Diamond Dust.mp3 lyrics.txt
[19:25] (Flashback) Awayuki
"Diamond Dust"...
[19:27] (Flashback) Awayuki
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!
[20:09] Awayuki
Well, everyone.
[20:10] Awayuki
Isn't this another lovely
night of light snowfall?
[20:13] Awayuki
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.
SIGN Post-Hallelujah Chat with Hareru-senpai
[20:34] Awayuki
Are you my senpai or my kohai?
[20:36] Hareru
I'm everyone's kohai, senpai,
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.
SIGN Thank You For Watching
[21:57] Awayuki
Good evening to you all.
[21:59] Awayuki
Isn't this another lovely
night of light snowfall?
[22:01] Awayuki
I'm Kokorone Awayuki.
[22:03] Awayuki
And so...
[22:05] Awayuki
Hell yeah! Let's start the stream!
