Mitama Aoi’s ‘Just a Little’ Impromptu Singing Stream Runs Past Three and a Half Hours

MILLIONPRODUCTION — Mitama Aoi of MillionProduction (NOVA) held an impromptu singing stream, or *utawaku*, on Monday, Nov. 9, that was titled as a short one and ran for more than three and a half hours. She took requests from chat throughout, and the songs ranged from a children’s anime march to a Studio Ghibli theme.

The stream began with a confession: Mitama Aoi had forgotten to press the start button and had spent about five minutes talking to herself. She said she was sleepy, wondered aloud whether low air pressure was to blame, and said she had done a “throat workout” the day before. She asked chat to go easy on her voice, then opened the floor to requests. Her first song was “Saudade” by Porno Graffitti, followed by “Rolling Star” by YUI, which she sang after seeing a request for it on X.

“It’s not ‘just a little’ at all, is it?” — Mitama Aoi, looking at the stream’s title

The Anpanman March (“Anpanman no March”) was a chat request, and viewers answered it with applause emotes and comments about the song sounding cool. She then took up “Kimi o Nosete” from the Studio Ghibli film Castle in the Sky (“Tenku no Shiro Laputa”) on a whim and invited viewers to sing along “with the teacher.” Later songs included “Aposteriori,” “Kyohan” and “Dancehall” by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, “Romeo and Cinderella,” “Yoru ni Kakeru,” “Ego Rock,” “Batsubyo,” “Inochi ni Kirawarete Iru” and “Goodbye Sengen.” She called “Ego Rock” a high song and sang it on determination alone, and she said she would learn “Batsubyo” properly after performing it by ear. In one segment she asked viewers to type out the lyrics of a song in chat while she sang it, and afterward said it was not the version she knew.

Around the 2 hour 44 minute mark, she looked at the stream’s title and joked that “just a little” was no longer true, saying she would change it to something like “meant to be just a little.” After deciding “Goodbye Sengen” would be her last song, she read Super Chats before closing, an arrangement she described as sandwiching them between songs. The paid messages, 69 in all, often carried the name of the song being sung, and she remarked that they worked as a kind of timestamp. She read them for well over half an hour and closed with “Amanojaku.”

Mitama Aoi said she plans another singing stream on Friday.
