Nui Sociere Marks Her Birthday With a Street-Style Outfit and a 3.0 Model

NIJISANJI — Nui Sociere unveiled a new street-style outfit and an upgraded 3.0 model on her birthday, Oct. 31, in a stream of about two and a half hours. She said she had decided that afternoon to add the 3.0 model, which had been ready for about a month, so she could show both on the same day.

The first hour was a *zatsudan*, or chat stream. She thanked viewers for birthday messages, said a fan-art tag built around her past game streams had moved her, and talked about anime and manga she had been watching. She explained that she had missed an earlier stream because of back pain and was still sore from a dance recording the day before. Then she changed into the new outfit, revealing it a piece at a time, from thick-soled boots and heavily damaged jeans up to the hair and makeup. She said she had chosen colors she rarely wears, since she tends to default to black, white, gray and red.

“This time, I had a street-style casual outfit made for me.” — Nui Sociere, at the full reveal

The finished look has a long wolf cut that covers one eye, gradient tips, orange tones, heavier makeup and sunglasses, which she said were her first. She said the outfit was a casual street style, and described the overall mood as “mero onee-san,” the cool, slightly sultry older-sister look her fans use the word for. She then took the sunglasses off, showed the makeup up close, and switched to her usual lighter makeup to show how much the impression changed. The 3.0 model followed, with puffed cheeks and a tongue-out expression, and she changed the angle of the eyebrows to show a sharper look and a softer one. She also paired the new hairstyle with her school-uniform outfit, which she called one of the combinations she most wanted viewers to see.

Chat filled with congratulations at the start and with reactions as each piece of the outfit appeared. The stream received more than 200 Super Chats, and she spent more than an hour reading them aloud, along with Super Sticker messages, stopping to answer several. Some viewers asked her for lines in the new persona, and she obliged with a few.

She closed by thanking viewers for the celebration and said she hoped to have bigger news to share next year. She said birthday merchandise was skipped this year because of her figure release, and that she would probably offer some next year.
