Kiyosumi Lyra Plays Requests in a Flower Field and Is Told by Chat She Is Not ‘Fleeting’

HOLOLIVE — Kiyosumi Lyra, who streams on the UNIT B (Pre-Debut) channel of Hololive (mekPark), sang requests on acoustic guitar from a flower field on Thursday, and was delighted when chat told her after one song that she did not come across as fleeting.

She said she was sitting on the ground in the field, noting that cosmos suit autumn, and reminded viewers to look after themselves as the weather turned cold. She also announced a hard stop: the stream would end at exactly 3:50 p.m. because she had a meeting at 4, and an alarm she had set might be audible. The set included “Tokyo Flash” and “Prayer X” by King Gnu, then “Chijo no Hoshi” and “Chiisana Koi no Uta”, the latter chosen from a request in chat when she asked what else viewers wanted to hear.

“That’s the first time anyone has said that to me. I’m so happy.” — Kiyosumi Lyra, after chat said she was not fleeting

The moment of the day came after “Chijo no Hoshi”, when chat answered with a long run of applause. Viewers had joked early in the stream that she looked fleeting, a running label for her; now messages called her cool and strong instead, and one insisted she was fleeting after all. Lyra seized on the first remark. “That’s the first time anyone has said that to me. I’m so happy,” she said, and later wondered aloud whether being fleeting and cool could go together. A Super Chat, one of seven during the stream, made the same point: fleeting, but cool too.

Between songs she said her thumb was bleeding from playing but that this happens, and that she takes care to moisturize her fretting hand. She said sudden singing streams had been frequent lately and that she would prepare more thoroughly for next month’s, when her birthday falls. Late in the stream she said she makes music because words cannot carry every feeling, and hopes listeners can resonate with it freely.

She finished her last song about a minute before the 3:50 cutoff, as planned, thanked viewers and signed off for her meeting.
