Shirazuna Iwo Marks 9,000 Subscribers With a Cold-Shortened Karaoke Stream

REACT — Shirazuna Iwo of ReAcT opened a karaoke stream by thanking viewers for pushing the channel to 9,000 subscribers. Iwo said the count had crept up unnoticed and the news came as a big surprise. “Only 1,000 more until 10,000,” Iwo said, asking viewers to subscribe and help celebrate.

The stream replaced a planned game session. Iwo said a head cold meant the evening would be shorter than usual, but that the plan was to sing as much as time allowed. The first song began about seven minutes in, and the stream ran 93 minutes in all.

The singing came in sets. A set of Bump of Chicken songs included “Mazzaka na Sora wo Mita Darou ka” (真っ赤な空を見ただろうか), which drew the stream’s one Super Chat. A Vocaloid set followed, with songs including Guriguri Megane to Gekkōmushi (グリグリメガネと月光蟲) and Sugar Vine (シュガーバイン). Iwo opened the final set with “Kaijū no Hanauta” (怪獣の花唄), describing it as a song not sung much lately, and announced the last song of the night a little after the 80-minute mark.

Iwo also said they would drop in on a collab the next day without streaming it on their own channel, and that another stream was set for 4:30 p.m. Japan time that day. Closing out, Iwo told viewers to keep warm as the weather had turned sharply colder, and signed off with the wish that everyone’s days stay peaceful. Chat answered with the same phrase, “may it be peaceful,” in a long run of messages.
