Another one for the short but spicy pile. It might seem like I cut the clip too soon, but aside from that beautiful pervy laugh at the end, she completely moves on and ignores what she just said (despite chat being quite shocked, lol). I’m also glad to be able to showcase all those beautiful terms she uses. Are you Team Explosion, Team Poverty, or Team Lipovitan D? Personally, I like them all.
Timestamp to make it so youtube doesn't interpret my TNs as “chapters”: 1:45
Translator’s notes:
You may notice, as the title implies, that this clip is NOT in fact binaural. That’s not on your end or my end, it’s on Aki’s end, she’s a dummy so she forgot to actually set this stream to be binaural for the first bit of it.
0:07 “Alona” is Aki’s custom greeting, a combination of “aloha” (from Hawaiian) and a greeting in Elvish.
0:29 Golden Week is a series of 4 Japanese public holidays on April 29th and May 3rd-6th. In 2019, when this was originally streamed, the ascension of Emperor Akihito on the 1st of May, a rule that states any day between 2 holidays becomes a holiday as well, and a rule that gives a “compensation holiday” for any holiday that happens to fall on a Sunday extended Golden Week to 10 consecutive days, Saturday April 27th through Monday May 6th. Many Japanese workers take paid time off during Golden Week, but as you can see, that's far from always the case.
0:39 Comi1 is an abbreviation of COMIC1, a twice-yearly doujinshi sale event. (A “doujinshi” is any self-published magazine, from “doujin,” self-published work, and “zasshi,” magazine.)
1:00 Aki’s usual first-person pronoun and nickname is “Akirose.”
1:03 These hilarious terms are actually fairly common and not Aki’s invention. It’s also worth noting that the use of “poverty” here harkens back to an archaic meaning of the term that referred to a shortage or deficiency, rather than implying girls with small chests must be poor. (They’re “poor in” something, you might say.)
1:13 Lipovitan D is a Japanese energy drink, a stronger version of the standard Lipovitan. I think usually the intention of this joke would probably be just to say “Lipovitan” and thereby convey the cup size without actually saying the letter, like chat does, but Aki just says the letter anyway.
