A 20-Minute Nap Turned Into Three Hours, Himegi Michika Says, Returning After Four Days Off

M.ENTERTAINMENT — Himegi Michika returned to streaming after four days off with a story about oversleeping. She told viewers she had planned a light nap of about 20 minutes after dinner before a tournament, only to wake near 8:51 p.m. and sleep on to about 9. She said she turned up late and finished the event working as a host, while her team took second place. “They did great,” she said of her teammates.

The nap led into another small mishap: after changing phones, she said, her alarm had become too quiet to wake her, and she could not work out how to turn it up. She and chat traded theories about the ringer slider and the silent switch, and she held the phone up to test the volume.

“I’ve always felt that my own temper is steady.” — Himegi Michika, answering chat’s “explosive” nickname at the close

The talk moved on to work and money. Facing what she called 40 more years of employment, she joked that she would be yawning her way through them, and said she spends roughly 20,000 a month. Later she described being locked out of a mobile payment app on her new phone because it asked her to verify a card that was no longer usable. She said she would call customer service to sort it out.

Food prices took up much of the late morning. Figuring out what she might eat before work, she worked out that 400 a day on meals comes to about 12,000 a month, and said convenience-store lunch boxes would not fill her up. Chat offered a steady stream of cheaper options, from convenience-store combo meals to hamburgers.

Chat teased her as “explosive” near the end, and she answered that she had always thought of herself as even-tempered. She signed off to get ready for the next day: she said she planned to stream again the following evening, probably late, because she was going to have a ring made.
