Lunlun to Bring Back Fixed Monday and Thursday Morning Streams After About a Year
The Nijisanji streamer said the 6 a.m. slots start this week, and that the next stream may be shortened to end at 7:30.
NIJISANJI — Lunlun, a Nijisanji streamer, announced on a Monday morning stream that a fixed weekly morning slot is returning after roughly a year. Starting this week, the morning streams will run on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 a.m. Japan time.
Lunlun said the change was worked out in talks with staff, who agreed to adjust the schedule around it, because the weeks with a fixed morning stream had been the most enjoyable. Lunlun added that seeing off viewers heading to work or school, and welcoming back those finishing night shifts, is a favorite part of the job. The streamer also said the next stream will be tried with a 7:30 a.m. finish, since many viewers leave home around 10:30, and that the Thursday morning stream will go ahead regardless.
“We’ve decided to bring back the morning stream on a fixed schedule.” — Lunlun, announcing the new schedule
The stream itself was a *zatsudan*, or chat stream, held with a hoarse voice. Lunlun said it was not painful but showed the strain of a busy few days, and said that if the voice did not recover, a day off to rest it fully was possible. Lunlun looked back on a Splatoon tournament played the previous day, the first the streamer had entered. Lunlun said there were no regrets, that teaming with more skilled talents had brought far more growth than practicing alone, and that the event was the product of months of effort by the organizers, whom Lunlun thanked for making the game fun.
The rest of the 79 minutes drifted through the morning’s usual fare. Lunlun led a round of radio calisthenics, talked about trying to build stamina and sleep better, and traded stories about home cooking mishaps. Lunlun then played bartender for viewers, mixing imaginary original cocktails to suit their moods, including a lemon-and-soy-milk drink for a Monday morning. The stream closed with a look at a newly bought Hello Kitty phone-style charm.
