Natsuiro Matsuri and Juufuutei Raden Land on a Shared Tag After First One-on-One Collab

HOLOLIVE — Natsuiro Matsuri, a Hololive first-generation member, and Juufuutei Raden of ReGLOSS held their first one-on-one collaboration on Sunday, an hour-long drinking stream built around questions sent in through the Marshmallow anonymous-message service. Matsuri said it was probably the first time the two had done a collab on their own, and that she had picked Raden after promising on an earlier gacha stream to collaborate with whoever turned up. Raden was the result.

Matsuri drank two cans of a 3 percent low-alcohol drink and snacked on cheese-flavored Jagarico. Raden brought a sake from Gifu Prefecture and skipped the snacks. They toasted after nearly every question. Asked who would be the older sister if they were siblings, both settled on Matsuri, with Matsuri saying she owns about 100 articles of clothing. For a viewer’s exam-study question, Raden recommended writing everything out by hand, while Matsuri described redoing a problem set from question one every time she got stuck.

The drinking brought out confessions. Raden said she once took a car-sickness tablet after drinking too much with friends and later threw up in a vivid light blue, and that she had been told she rode a swing, which frightens her, while laughing and with no memory of it afterward. Matsuri said that when she drinks with friends she tends to kiss them. Asked to compare each other to something, Raden likened Matsuri to the painting Las Meninas, with Princess Margarita at its center, and Matsuri likened Raden to a Long Island iced tea: easy to drink, until it is not.

On work they would like to do, the two said they wanted to stand on the stage at Sanrio Puroland together, and Raden said she was drawn to apparel jobs as a model. They found that both had modeled for a magazine early in their careers. Asked what they would do if they swapped bodies for a day, Raden said she would act like a pushy senior at the Hololive studio, while Matsuri chose a whispery ASMR in revealing loungewear. Raden proposed reading the Japanese constitution as ASMR, and the two agreed to try a joint ASMR stream someday. Each also named what she admired in the other: Raden, Matsuri’s stage presence as an idol and her work as an event host; Matsuri, Raden’s way of drawing listeners into art talk even when they know little about it.

Near the end, Matsuri noted that the pair had no tag of their own, and they settled on the one from the stream title, まちゅらでん (Machuraden). They agreed to go camping together, with Raden recommending winter and noting that some campsites have baths. Matsuri floated choosing the destination with darts, and when Raden worried about a January trip to Hokkaido, said, “I’ll keep Raden-chan warm the whole time.” They signed off with “otsu-Machuraden” as chat filled with the same phrase.
