Yamaguro Nekuro Ends Stream as Promised When Her Temperature Reaches 37.5

AOGIRI HIGHSCHOOL — Yamaguro Nekuro of Aogiri Highschool ended her Sunday night stream about two hours in, exactly as its title promised, after a thermometer reading of 37.5 degrees Celsius. The stream was billed as a *zatsudan*, or chat stream, that would end the moment she ran a fever.

Nekuro opened by saying she had felt slightly unwell for days, with a low fever and a sore throat, and had taken cold medicine instead of going to a hospital. Her normal temperature is 35.8, so she and chat settled on roughly 37.3 as the line. Her first reading, 36.9, drew a round of “safe” from chat, and the next checks came in lower: 36.4 at the 36-minute mark. She said she was steering clear of topics that tend to raise her temperature, and suggested that the act of streaming itself seemed to settle her.

“I have a fever. I’m going to sleep.” — Yamaguro Nekuro, after the last reading

The conversation began with Aogiri Highschool’s eighth-anniversary stream earlier that day. She said she had brought a plush toy and a letter written at the studio for the group’s time capsule, her first, and that she hoped someone other than herself would be the one to open it. She then described getting her hands on a proper squeeze toy for the first time and floated the idea of a squeeze cafe, where visitors could handle many kinds and buy them. Chat answered with talk of crowdfunding it and of shaking hands with her hand in a bag. She also talked about spending days in bed watching TikTok until her feed filled with content from her hometown, watched clips from a recent multiplayer server event, and said she would like to keep a spider like the one that lives at a friend’s home in Tokyo.

Near the end she showed a photo of a complete set of a capsule-toy series, collected in five pulls on a recent trip to Tokyo, and said it might be what had pushed her temperature up. She took a last reading, announced 37.5 and signed off. Before leaving she read through the 30 Super Chats of the night, thanking each sender.

Nekuro said her throat, more than the fever, was what would decide when she streams next. She has not set a date, and she said a scheduling clash might keep her from an upcoming server event. She closed by telling viewers she would see them when the next stream goes up.
