Hinami Traces a Quiet Stream Opening to a Mic Compressor, Then Recaps ACHRORA’s Week

HOLOLIVE — Hinami of ACHRORA, a group under Hololive (mekPark), opened her Tuesday recap stream with a sound problem: her voice came through too quietly and the background music too loudly. She turned her mic up to the maximum, restarted once, and still heard no change on her end. About six minutes in she worked out the cause. The day before, she had put a compressor on her microphone to make her voice easier to hear. She said the effect reaches viewers but does not show up in what she hears back herself. She added that her ASMR stream the previous day had probably carried the same setting. Chat said it had sounded comfortable, and the level was corrected. She also admitted she had gotten the date wrong at the start and said it was Nov. 10.

She then went through the past week of ACHRORA collaborations, starting with a two-hour session of a ramen-shop simulation game with the group’s other two members. She said one of them worked so fast that it seemed there were two of her, and that the same member did the work of about three people. The other kept carrying a beer and was strict about the foam ratio when Hinami poured one. Late in the session, she said, it came out that the other two had been dating, and she had known nothing about it. She told viewers that romance among the group’s members was not allowed.

“There are 200 shades of pink, you know.” — Hinami, explaining which pinks she likes

She moved on to a Halloween co-op game in which the three played together for the first time. In it, a statue she carried shrank her and raised the pitch of her voice, and she said one of the others called her cute. While describing the outfit colors the members picked, she went into the pinks she likes and dislikes, holding up samples, and said a personal color diagnosis had told her bluish pinks suit her. She also recapped a dice board game in which she moved from fourth place to first with a lucky item.

She said the group’s viewer-points tally had reached 170 after last month’s meeting, and that the call for an ACHRORA fan name was still open. Submissions are accepted through the form in the stream description until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26. She read out a few suggestions from chat and said the three members and their manager would go through the entries together.

The last half hour went to Hinami’s playthrough of the original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The remake had just gone on sale, but she said she was still on the original. She recapped the story for viewers who had never played it, with spoiler warnings, and said she had one sage left to find. Her next stage is the desert temple. She plans to continue at 6 p.m. the next day and to start the remake on the weekend. Near the end she tried to play Epona’s Song on an ocarina-style instrument, to a chat reply of “Run, Epona!” The stream drew one Super Chat.
