Amane Amu Spends a Late-Night Minecraft Chat Building a Riverside Spot in Her Village

NEO-PORTE — Amane Amu of Neo-Porte spent a late-night *zatsudan*, or chat stream, in Minecraft turning a corner of her village into a riverside spot, and closed the stream by walking viewers through it. She had carried water in to make a stream run through the area, laid a path leading home and set aside a seat by the water where she said she would hear viewers’ troubles. She also said she had collected about 30 diamonds along the way.

Amu opened the stream just after waking from about an hour of sleep, saying she meant to stay up until midday so she could go out in the sunlight. Early on she said she wanted to grow the village into a bigger one, but only a single villager was left in it. She also said she wanted to find an ocean to get kelp. “I really love this late-night Minecraft with no purpose at all, where you just lazily make things, enjoy yourself and pass the time,” she said.

Between building sessions she dug into caves for ore and turned up two emeralds in one of them. Around the two-hour mark she lost track of where she had entered a deep cave, joked that she would never get home, and then found an exit. Earlier she had ordered delivery and ate a kebab on camera along with chicken tenders and fries. The conversation drifted to trips she would like to take, from Korean cities known for their bakeries to Hokkaido and a quiet hot-spring inn.

Past the 2:30 mark the talk turned to sleep. Amu described a stretch of insomnia and said she once slept 17 hours in one go. As chat members said they were dozing off or heading to bed, she told them she was not sleepy at all and that the stream would end once viewers ran out of energy. She sang for viewers who wanted a song to sleep to; chat said one of them was a song for crying, not for sleeping.

As morning came, she took viewers on a tour of what she had made, then said she would nap, go out around midday and stream again that night. Chat answered with the usual sign-off for the channel and thanks for the evening.
