On her weekly Wednesday morning stream, the VSpo talent also talked about a spilled protein shake, the urge to collect things and the new Godzilla film.

Choya Hanabi of VSpo said on her weekly Wednesday morning stream that no off-collab with her Choumusubi partner is planned, answering a request that came in with a Super Chat. She said the two usually meet only at the agency office when one of them is in town on business, that their schedules rarely line up, and that she did not want to raise hopes she could not meet. She also said they keep in touch in chat all the time, so meeting in person is not something she feels the need to arrange.

The stream, a 2 hour 18 minute *zatsudan*, or chat stream, opened with a complaint about her iPhone alarm, which she said gets quieter every morning and seems to have no interest in waking her. She said she had also spilled her protein drink on her cardigan before starting, adding to the laundry, and that she planned to go back to sleep once the stream ended.

From there the talk wandered. She and chat compared what color each person’s voice suggests, and she settled on something between orange and yellow, though she admitted her image color might be coloring her judgment. She described how a bear-shaped tumbler she saw the day before made her think about her urge to collect things, which she said is hard to stop once started. Asked what people regret buying, chat brought up spices that go unused, which led her to say she was thinking of buying a steamer basket for her first attempt at steamed cooking. Chat warned her she would regret it. She joked about bringing one to a fellow VSpo member’s home for a steamer party.

She also talked about watching League of Legends tournament broadcasts, saying she quit playing after three days because she loses track of her cursor in team fights, and ran a long bit about classmates all nicknamed “Natchan” and fighting over who gets the name. Late in the stream she turned to Godzilla, saying a new film had opened the day before and that she wanted to see it; she praised Godzilla Minus One, which she had just found on a streaming service, and swapped recommendations with chat.

The stream drew 35 Super Chats, many of them congratulations on her second-anniversary 3D live. She signed off by saying everyone had to go see Godzilla, said the next morning stream would be next Wednesday, and said she has a collab the following night.
