Margher Richa Turns Morning Chat About Gummies Into a Plan for a Homemade Candy Stream

.LIVE — Margher Richa, a streamer with .LIVE, ended a morning *zatsudan*, or chat stream, on a promise: a gummy-making broadcast around year’s end. The idea grew out of about 80 minutes of talk about candy, and Richa said they would post the pledge on social media after the stream so there would be a record of it.

The stream opened with a muted microphone, which Richa fixed within the first few minutes. They then talked about being sleepy, a dream about being judged, and a breakfast of fifteen-grain rice and natto. A recent convenience-store find, a chocolate-coated jelly sold as a gummy, led into gummies in general. Richa said they prefer hard gummies that do not leave sugar coating on the fingers while working at a computer, dislike sour ones because the flavor pulls attention away from the task, and weigh cost against quantity. Richa also said an artificial grape flavor is a favorite food, and recalled chipping a tooth on a chewy candy years ago.

Chat then pushed the topic toward building things from gummies, and Richa searched for recipes on stream. They found that gummies can be made at home from juice, gelatin and sugar, and that starch syrup is the ingredient professionals use. Richa said they own a bear-shaped mold bought long ago and never used, and chat joked about endless homemade character gummies. Richa asked viewers to remind them in December if they forgot.

The plan then grew. Richa settled on the long Christmas holiday for the gummy stream, then worked out a second project around Valentine’s Day: using leftover food coloring to make *kohakuto*, a crystalline Japanese sugar candy, in several colors, and inviting colleagues over for drinks to eat it. They said the candy should be eaten within about four days and mentioned recording the crunch for an ASMR clip. Chat called the plan flawless.

Richa ended the stream earlier than usual, saying the plan had come together so neatly that there was nothing left to discuss. Before signing off, they mentioned an application window for a one-on-one talk event closing that night, a new voice release and a mahjong event in November.
