Rene Ryugasaki Trades Planned Singing Stream for Late-Night Talk After Mother’s Visit

774INC — Rene Ryugasaki opened a late-night stream by saying the singing stream she had planned was off. Her mother had come to Tokyo from the Kansai region for several days, and the streamer said hosting her left her so tired that she woke at 2 p.m. and lost the rest of the day. She switched to a talk stream, which she billed as a late-night chat with a woman in her thirties.

She spent the first hour on the visit. The two had sushi for lunch, and her mother wanted to buy a new iPhone at a phone-carrier shop, so Ryugasaki went along. She said the visit took two to three hours, and she turned down every add-on the clerk offered. They also went to Asakusa, where she ate fried street snacks and ordered croquettes she called the best of the trip, then shopped in Omotesando and ate ramen in Ebisu. Ryugasaki played a short voice message her mother had recorded for her listeners.

“I’m really not going to be reborn as someone new. When it ends, I’ll end it as Rene Ryugasaki.” — Rene Ryugasaki, on whether she would ever start over with a new persona

The trip nearly ended badly. After she moved the data to the new phone, the saved passwords turned out to be wrong, and she snapped at her mother over logging back in to apps. They went to bed without saying good night. When she woke around noon the next day, her mother had cleaned the whole apartment, including spots she said she had not touched in nearly two years. They apologized to each other and had cake and coffee. Ryugasaki said she still gets teary thinking about it.

Next she read a letter she wrote to her mother on her elementary school graduation day, which her mother had kept and found while cleaning. In it she thanked her mother for six years of support and promised to keep working hard at cram school and club activities in junior high. Ryugasaki said she had no memory of writing it. She added that her high school years went very differently, and she joked about being told to put away her oden at a morning assembly.

She went on to other topics. She said she plans to keep streaming for at least ten years and has no intention of being reborn under a new persona. She told a story about taking her glasses to a JINS store convinced the nose pads had broken, only to learn they fold by design. She also said she will try a Pilates class, led viewers through a shoulder-blade stretch, and plans to visit a steam sauna with a friend.

For the coming days, Ryugasaki said a hand-drawn animated short will go up at 8 a.m. on the 14th, with an announcement on X around noon. Her Final Fantasy IX playthrough will continue at 2 p.m. on Sunday, with a TRPG collab on Monday night. Next week she has a piano session collab on Wednesday and a singing stream on Friday.
