Matsukai Mao Marks Seven Years by Running a Viral Cheating Quiz and Reflecting on Change

NIJISANJI — Matsukai Mao, a Nijisanji talent, spent her seventh-anniversary stream working through a viral “cheating judgment sheet” and closed it by saying that seven years had changed how she sees relationships and other people. The stream ran about two hours and fifteen minutes and was a *zatsudan*, or chat stream.

She opened with a run of congratulations from viewers and thanked them for the 33 Super Chats and Stickers. She said she had done a 3D appearance the day before, that guests brought gifts including chocolate and doughnuts, and that a Mont Blanc cake was brought in. She joked that her fellow members of the agency’s “Aka no Soshiki” had brought nothing. She also said that an anniversary landing on a day like Halloween is a problem, because everything gets swallowed by the holiday, and advised future debutants to avoid dates that match common events.

“人って変わります” — Matsukai Mao, on how seven years changed her

The main segment was the sheet, which asks the player to rate situations as cheating, upsetting or fine. Mao invented a boyfriend she called Takuya and went through the items aloud, including lunches, late-night calls, gifts, phones and messages with ex-partners, and a drinking curfew of 11 p.m. She said she could show her own messages and phone to anyone and expected the same of a partner. Partway through she declared that she had broken up with him, and as the questions went on she said she was growing more critical of him.

Near the end she said the sheet had made her own views clear, and recalled that seven years ago she could not understand why anyone would want a partner. She said she can now cook on her own, that her sense of right and wrong has shifted, and that she has learned to accept that other people are other people. Her closing advice to viewers was blunt: someone who cheats once will do it again, so it is better to move on.

Chat followed along, calling out “Takuya” as the questions turned harsh, and many viewers wrote that it was interesting to learn her values.
