Tokoyami Towa Tours Viewers’ Autumn Trip Photos in Monthly Towavel Chat Stream

The Hololive 4th Generation member also looked back on a month of ARK and said she would move to Twitch for about an hour afterward.

Tokoyami Towa spent Monday’s *zatsudan*, or chat stream, going through autumn outings and trips that viewers posted under her #Towavel tag, a monthly feature of her channel, before reading Super Chats and looking back on a month of playing ARK.

She began with a note on her health. She said she had been to the gym that morning and was paying attention to protein intake, only to be told she was short of it. She added that she had been thin since childhood, and that her phone’s health app had told her to aim for at least 2,500 steps a day when it showed about 300 on days she did not leave home.

Most of the stream was spent on viewer photos of food, scenery and travel, which she commented on as they came up: roadside-station sweets, autumn leaves, a night view of Tokyo Station, a Christmas tree and illuminations. She also said it was colder than she expected for the season and that the shift had come suddenly. Along the way she described Setlog, an app for posting very short videos, and said she had joined a Hololive group on it where members shared pets and everyday posts. She also said a fellow talent had messaged her after passing something along at an event, and that the exchange ended there.

Around the 31-minute mark she responded to a request from a fellow talent to play Overwatch together, and later said she would drop in on a friend’s Overwatch session after the stream. At the close she said she had an early recording the next day, planned to sleep early, and would continue on Twitch for about an hour.

She then read Super Chats, thanking viewers one by one, and used the time to talk about ARK. She said she felt the loss now that the event was over, praised the new building and wiring conveniences compared with the earlier game, and said a partner on the server had helped her gather materials and tame creatures.
