Tsumugi Kokage Ends a Game-Hunting Stream in a Hide-and-Seek Match With Sendo Yuuhi

VSPO — Tsumugi Kokage of VSpo opened a Wednesday stream with no game in mind and closed it playing a browser hide-and-seek game with fellow VSpo member Sendo Yuuhi, with viewers filling the room around them.

Kokage started over breakfast: baked raisin bread, a strawberry drinking yogurt and fish miso soup with dried green onion and dried daikon leaves. She said she had a commitment at 4:30 p.m. and wanted to settle on something for the time before it, but that she was in a slump with Valorant. She said she had blocked the game, bought a new mouse pad and was considering changing her sensitivity. “Lately I’ve only been playing Valorant, and I’ve stopped knowing what to stream other than that,” she said.

She settled on Overwatch or Street Fighter 6 and began installing both on a newly changed PC. While she waited, she announced she would dance and ran through an idol-style routine in her small room, then said she was worn out and talked about how demanding idol training must be. Street Fighter 6, which she put at 106 GB, sat at 2 percent for a long stretch because the download had stalled behind Overwatch. She later called out the percentages as it climbed, and it was near the halfway mark at the hour-and-a-half point. She also tried to recruit viewers for an Apex Legends session within her time limit, and she browsed Steam for something light to play.

Overwatch itself took longer than expected. She had installed it through Steam rather than Battle.net, then forgot her password while linking the accounts. Once she got in, her settings had been reset and she played Mystery Heroes, a mode that hands out random characters, joking that she barely recognized any of them. Yuuhi, who had been eating at a fast-food restaurant, joined by voice during the match.

With the two of them short on time, they turned to a browser game in which hiders blend in among computer-controlled characters while seekers pick them out. Kokage opened a room for viewers, which filled to its limit of 24. They played several rounds, switching between hiding and seeking and trying different character sets. As the stream wound down, Kokage and Yuuhi talked about another trip to a breakfast buffet. Kokage thanked viewers for eight Super Chats, one of which was earmarked for the buffet, and ended the stream.
