[JP; EN subs] Hajime on the reality of being a Hololive VTuber (clip)
Partial excerpt:
I stopped meeting up with my IRL friends altogether.
[...]
It's like, I connect with less and less people. If they ask me "what have you been up to lately?", it's like, there are so many things I can't tell them.
[...]
The things they tell me are from a pretty different world than the one I'm in.
It's a pretty sobering part of it that I hadn't thought much about, especially with the increase of family members making stream appearances lately.
I think it was Kiara who mentioned a while ago about how people want to join Holo thinking it'll be easy but there's so much they have to do off stream, it's not just stream every so often and you're free for the rest of the day
…man, that’s sad under this perspective.
I know some of them have close friends outside holo they can tell things to (Okayu, Kronii, Laplus for example), but I imagine if you don’t have someone you trust that much, all the other friendships would slowly get worse.
(Also usual props to whoever dares to clip Hajime, I’m far from being fluent but without subs I don’t think I would’ve understood a single word)
