Wakasa Ito of M.Entertainment (MeloNyx) held a Saturday-morning singing stream, a 歌枠 or karaoke-style stream, that ran 96 minutes. The title framed it as a morning of songs after a week of rain.

Wakasa Ito opened by saying it was really cold that day and checking the heater before settling in. Songs followed, and chat answered them with strings of hearts and applause. One viewer wrote that the singing sounded great.

“It’s really cold today. Hold on, let me check the heater.” — Wakasa Ito, at the start of the stream

Between songs, Wakasa Ito talked about food, including single-serving sukiyaki sets from Japanese beef-bowl chains Yoshinoya and Sukiya, with udon and cabbage in the pot, and noted that they were seasonal. Chat joined in on the single-serving sets, with one viewer saying to eat plenty while they last.

Near the end, Wakasa Ito told viewers there would be one more song in about two minutes. The stream closed with thanks to those watching and a goodbye, while chat filled with messages thanking Wakasa Ito for the work. Three Super Chats came in over the stream.
