Yuno Mihanada Shivers Through a Pocky Day Morning Stream and Does Her Makeup on Air

The MEWLIVE talent said she would not be able to resist the holiday’s marketing, then wrapped up with a plan to play a horror game that night.

Yuno Mihanada, a first-generation member of MEWLIVE, opened a 63-minute morning stream on Wednesday by complaining that it was far too cold to get going. She repeated the point throughout, saying her hands were so chilled that even putting in her contact lenses was a chore and that she was moving around more than necessary to warm up.

She spent the hour getting ready for work on camera in what she called an *asakatsu*, or morning stream. She put in her contacts, applied foundation and mascara, and said she wanted a new cheek color in a bluer, winter-leaning pink to replace the autumn shade she was wearing. Along the way she mentioned a dental mouthpiece that had been upgraded with metal and thick rubber bands, which she said made speaking harder, and that she expected the treatment to run through the end of the year.

“Are we going to lose to the marketing strategy? I think I’m going to lose in the end.” — Yuno Mihanada, on Pocky Day

Wednesday was Pocky Day, and she wondered aloud whether viewers would buy the snack, joking that she expected to give in to the marketing herself. She said the Pocky game, in which two people eat from opposite ends of one stick, was not for her because she is somewhat particular about cleanliness. Chat and the talent also spent a stretch trying to place a song with a lyric about flowers and the wind, and she read out that it was the theme of a 1980 television drama.

Later she talked about taking vitamins in powder form and drinking a Yakult drink before bed, saying her skin and stomach had been in good shape lately. She also said she would soon begin collecting questions for a worry-counseling session planned around Labor Thanksgiving Day.

She thanked viewers for membership gifts near the start and end of the stream, then signed off to head to work, saying she would be back that night to play a horror game.
