Otonose Kanade Confesses to Two Skipped Training Sessions in a Sleepy Late-Night Chat

HOLOLIVE — Otonose Kanade of Hololive’s ReGLOSS told viewers on Wednesday that a week of work starting at noon had worn her down enough that she cancelled two training sessions, a confession she made during a short, sleepy zatsudan, or chat stream, that ran 48 minutes.

Kanade opened by saying she had planned a longer stream but was too sleepy, and wanted to talk anyway. Work had begun at noon every day that week and ended around 8 p.m., she said, and since she has to be up by 11 a.m., she argued that noon counts as 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. as 5 a.m. She described setting a string of alarms, from 30 minutes out down to one-minute intervals, and recalled oversleeping a class during remote lessons in school.

She said she had gone to two voice-training sessions that day, one for ReGLOSS and one of her own, and spoke of how beautiful the sky was on the way. She also said she tends to catch a cold whenever she travels for location shoots, mentioning a trip to Indonesia, and that nerves lately upset her stomach. She said she was glad to have been invited to a recent singing relay event and had felt nervous greeting performers she was meeting for the first time.

About 28 minutes in, Kanade said she had to confess something: with so much work, she had cancelled a training session twice that week, and she held a mock press conference to apologize. Upcoming live performances mean preparation cannot be put off, she said, and the lessons she could not skip, she attended. She also canceled a self-booked lesson and said she would take it next week.

The talk then turned to food. Kanade listed shabu-shabu, udon, inari sushi, egg harusame and, newly, ochazuke, rice with tea or broth poured over it, as favorites, saying she had recently been eating a salmon and salmon roe version and could not stop. Chat joked about turning the broth version into a verb. She also praised the mochi-filled pouches in oden.

Kanade signed off around the 44-minute mark, saying she would take a bath and go to sleep. She asked viewers to fill in a form linked in the description with songs or partners they wanted to hear her sing with, and said she hoped to run a broader survey later.
