Ichinose Uruha Plays a Drawing-Song Game With Guests and Gets Laughs From Misheard Lyrics

VSPO — Ichinose Uruha of VSpo streamed a drawing-song game with several other participants on Monday, and the players spent much of the two hours laughing at pictures that came out nothing like the prompts. The stream, titled as her first attempt at an e-kaki uta, or drawing song, ran 121 minutes.

In the game, a song describes an image one line at a time and each player draws it without seeing a reference. Early in the stream the group said they had never played one and struggled to keep up with the lyrics. One player said she lost track of the previous line while waiting to see where the song was going. After one round the players said the prompt had turned out to be an octopus, and several of them drew a creature they described as a mascot character.

“That was funny. She had a world of her own.” — Ichinose Uruha, at the close, about one of the guests

Players voted for the drawing they liked best after each round, and the group raised the difficulty as they went, adding harder and more unreasonable prompts. Partway through they switched to a live mode in which one player tries to guess the others’ drawings from the song. The pace of the lyrics in that mode drew complaints that it was too fast to follow, and one guesser correctly identified a bicycle from the drawings.

A later round produced a drawing that the group compared to Guile, a Street Fighter character, after a player added a projectile that the song never mentioned. Near the end Uruha sang an original drawing song for a lion, which another player then drew from her lyrics. The group also drew one another from memory before closing.

Uruha said she would probably not stream the next day and might skip the day after as well, with a stream planned for the following day if she can manage it. Chat sent six Super Chats and Stickers, which she read out at the close.
