Akatsuki Hotaru Finishes Jacket Art for “We Could Bloom,” a Song Made With Pateona
Pateona wrote the song, while Hotaru handled the arrangement and ordered the cover art, she said on a Halloween-themed Grand Theft Auto V role-play stream.
INDEPENDENT — Akatsuki Hotaru, an independent streamer on Twitch, said the jacket art for “We Could Bloom,” a song she made with Pateona, was finished. The news came on day 139 of her Stograph Season 2 Grand Theft Auto V role-play streams, titled as Halloween song production.
Hotaru described how the work was split: Pateona wrote the music, and she handled sending the song out for arrangement and ordering the jacket art. Voices on the stream praised the harmonies and the finished arrangement, and one said the track came out as a villain’s song. When the jacket art arrived by message, the voices on the stream called it far too good, and one joked that the figure on it looked a lot more handsome than expected.
“Could I get arrested for drug possession?” — Akatsuki Hotaru, after being handed a pile of unfamiliar items
Elsewhere on the stream, a long in-game conversation drifted from a cat-lover question to jobs. One voice said he was between jobs and driving a taxi, and that he used to be a bad guy. Another offered gas-station work, but only to law-abiding “white citizens.” The first then revealed he belonged to a gang, which he said kept him talking with ordinary citizens more than committing crimes. A later talk turned to a couple whose schedules left them little time together. One voice likened the situation to a worker who comes home, eats, drinks a beer and goes straight to sleep, and said it did not seem to be anyone’s fault.
Later, Hotaru was handed a stack of items marked “Deep High” and “Drug Enjoy Party,” with a “Merry Christmas” from the giver. She read the labels aloud, asked whether carrying them could get her arrested and asked Uni what to do. Before signing off, she called Uni over to look at something new and suggested taking a walk with it.
Chat cheered the song and its jacket, and joked about the unlabeled gift.
