Himemori Luna Calls Godzilla Minus Zero a Family Story, Then Recounts a Cold Fireworks Night

HOLOLIVE — Himemori Luna said Godzilla Minus Zero turned out to be less a monster film than a story about a family, as she opened a *zatsudan*, or chat stream, on Tuesday that ran just under three hours. She saw the film on its opening day, Nov. 3, in a regular theater rather than an IMAX screening, and said the sound was so loud she wanted earmuffs. She is used to watching the Chiikawa films, she explained, and said Chiikawa is something she can fall asleep to while Godzilla is not.

She said King Ghidorah appears and that its abilities made her wonder whether the film was suitable for children; she said children in the audience were crying. She added that older Godzilla films reassure her by comparison. After the new release she skimmed earlier entries while tidying her room, laughed at a tank model blowing apart in one of them, and said she finally understood why viewers call Mothra’s larva a chocolate cornet. She bought a small Godzilla plush, a random figure that turned out not to be Godzilla, and a special-edition program.

Luna then described a trip on Nov. 7 to the 95th national fireworks competition, which organizers put at about 650,000 visitors. She said fireworks ran from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., that the November night was far colder than she expected even in a down jacket, and that food from the stalls went cold before she could eat it. A strong wind blew the fireworks sideways, and a neighboring group’s conversation got into her videos. Some displays were set to music, including a B’z song, and she said a sushi-themed firework stood out. She said she waited a long time to leave because seating blocks were released in turn.

She also talked about her current schedule. Luna said she fights every Friday morning to buy limited Chiikawa merchandise, that she is playing a Zelda game, that she has recordings, lessons and four guest appearances lined up as December nears, and that the Chiikawa Christmas market, which runs through an app, opens in 13 days. She said she recently bought long-life water, rice and a disaster-kit backpack after seeing posts about preparedness on X. She also said a hashtag search for her fan art on X only worked with quotation marks around the tag.

Near the end she read thank-you messages from viewers, who sent 17 Super Chats, and said goodnight in her usual way.
