Makoh Lisa Ends Halloween Singing Stream With an Encore and Birthday Plans

REACT — Makoh Lisa, a ReAcT streamer who introduces herself as a “year-round Halloween woman” and a devil, spent Halloween on a singing stream that ended with an encore and a rundown of her birthday programming.

She opened by greeting chat and joking that viewers had beaten her to her own catchphrase. Her birthday falls right after Halloween, she said, so she never manages anything properly Halloween-themed, and this year was again an ordinary singing stream. She had rebuilt her singing setup for the evening, warned that sound problems were likely early on and asked viewers to say if the instrumental or her voice was too loud or too quiet. She switched on reverb and began the first song.

“Why can’t I dream of being Umaru?” — Makoh Lisa, after two songs in a row

Partway through she sang two songs back to back, one of them “Fuwa Fuwa Time,” then explained to chat that she thinks of herself as Umaru and has long wanted an older brother. She said she once wrote “older brother” on a Christmas wish list and did not get one. Chat answered with a mix of teasing and encouragement, among it a line telling her to hang in there as the eldest daughter. Later she asked herself what Halloween-flavored song she had left, settled on a vampire song, and told chat she had to tune up before singing “Vampire.” Another run of songs followed, with chat filling with clapping emoji and cheers.

She called “Mixed Nuts” the last song of the night, then announced what came next. A birthday countdown singing stream was set for 11 p.m. Japan time, with the thumbnail shown on screen. The next evening at 7 p.m. she planned a live of anime-song covers, followed at 8 p.m. by a premiere of “Unknown Mother Goose.” She asked viewers who wanted an encore to say so in chat, and non-commenters to use hearts or stamps. Chat filled with calls of “Encore!”, and she sang one more song before signing off to a stream of clapping and goodbyes.
