Hololive Indonesia’s Ayunda Risu, Airani Iofifteen and Kureiji Ollie hosted a watchalong on Saturday of the culture episode of OmotenaQ, a travel vlog shot in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with ReGLOSS member Juufuutei Raden. The three, who made up the culture team, opened by explaining that the vlog is part of the Compass Horizon project, which aims to introduce little-known places to viewers in Indonesia and Japan. The series is split into three themes and three teams; the food episode had already aired, and the video was set to premiere at 17:00 local time.

While waiting for the premiere, the group traded stories from the trip. They described Raden’s visit as a homecoming of sorts, since the name Raden is a Javanese noble title, and said Raden took readily to local food and was delighted by tempe orek, a stir-fried tempeh dish. Ollie said it was Ollie’s first time in Yogyakarta, and the others laughed over Raden buying a swimsuit on the trip. The group counted down together and started the video at about the 16-minute mark.

Once the vlog began, the participants commented over it. They said they had risen before dawn to reach Borobudur while it was nearly empty, and warned viewers to be careful on the old stone steps. They watched a wayang shadow-play with live gamelan music staged for the team, with one of them marveling that the performers had come just for them. At an archery session, one participant joked about being a swordsman handed a bow, and the group said they had been outshot by a true aristocrat. A Javanese-style dinner followed, with tea praised as especially fragrant.

In chat, viewers joked that Raden was a Raden for real, cheered the archery misses, and filled the end of the video with applause. After it finished, the participants agreed the editor deserved a raise, and said the shoot had started in the small hours. Asked what they would show next time, they named sights beyond Borobudur, hotel culture experiences, songket weaving, batik-making and nasi Padang.

The stream closed with announcements of further Compass Horizon collaborations in Indonesia, including postal products made with Pos Indonesia and a collaboration with Gramedia, planned for December 2026 through January 2027, that includes a collab cafe at a Gramedia branch in Blok M. They also said the leisure episode, featuring Kobo, Anya and Zeta, premieres the next day at 17:00 local time.
