Nekoyashiki Miku Previews a Live This Week and a Trip Abroad on Her Late-Night Radio Show

NIJISANJI — Nekoyashiki Miku used her nightly late-night talk stream early Wednesday to lay out a busy stretch: a live on Nov. 6, a Splatoon tournament on Nov. 7 and 8, and later this month a trip abroad, her first visit to that country, with her mother. The Nijisanji (Yoiyume) member said she would be away for about four days.

She said the live is close enough that she is already feeling nervous, and that she hopes doing well at it could lead to a bigger venue someday so she can meet more viewers. She also said she had barely touched Splatoon that day and planned to practice on her own after the stream, trying a new weapon, with a possible team practice that evening that could shift the radio’s start time.

“I don’t want to be a princess. I want to be a flower.” — Nekoyashiki Miku, on the role she wants in Yoiyume

On the trip, she said she would be packing a great deal into the days before leaving, and that new content would be posted in her radio slot about three times while she is away. If she is back on a day with the stream, she said she can do the radio from her computer.

The talk wandered from there. She said she had drunk a low-alcohol canned drink on the Yoiyume channel earlier in the evening without feeling much, and compared white wine, red wine, sake and beer. She spoke about part-time jobs and dream workplaces, and about perfume and fabric softener. She also spent a long stretch on the game Toshi Densetsu Kaitai Center (Urban Legend Dismantling Center), which she called a favorite, and said her goal for November is to hold one radio show without mentioning it.

Late in the stream, as viewers joked about her role in Yoiyume, she said she did not need to be the princess and would rather be a flower, one that protects, soothes and thrills everyone. She closed the stream by thanking viewers for the 11 Super Chats and signing off with “otsumiku,” the fans’ sign-off greeting.
