Gushing:
Sweet, adorable, and hilarious. That’s our Akirose. It’s so cute how even though she’s usually so good at improv, she fumbles when she tries to do a situation like that. “My kindness slips out,” indeed. The “funya~” bit is so cute too and I love the voice she does when she starts pressuring chat as well. She’s so precious. And of course, one more thing: Akirose, I love you!
Timestamp to make it so youtube doesn't interpret my TNs as “chapters”: 6:27
Translator’s notes:
0:28 Aki’s usual first-person pronoun and nickname is “Akirose.” In this clip, she also uses “watashi,” a standard choice that leans slightly formal and slightly feminine, and “atashi,” a more lazily-pronounced version that’s more casual and feminine.
0:45 What she says here is a combination of sound effects, “baki-baki” and “boki-boki,” both of which indicate something breaking with a crack, in this case your bones.
3:24 This way of expressing guilt vs innocence is literally “to remember having done something yourself.” She’s saying she can tell by looking at us (or really our comments) that we remember our own guilt in the matter.
4:13 The word for “tweet” she uses here literally means “mutter” or “murmur,” but also has the connotation of posting something on twitter specifically. The English word “tweet,” which she uses before and after this, is also a common way of expressing the same thing.
4:41 In Japanese, the term for what we would call in English a “like” on twitter and some other sites is “ii ne,” which is literally more like “how nice.” (Other sites that are also “like” in English may use different terms. Youtube’s “like button,” for example, is referred to by the English phrase “good button” in Japanese, since the English word "good" is associated with what we could call the "thumbs up" gesture.)
5:19 “Funya-funya” is a very cute sound effect that originally referred to something limp or flabby, and has since come to also mean someone mumbling, talking with their mouth full, or otherwise speaking in an unclear way (such as Aki fumbling her dorky lines).
5:52 This viewer’s name means “black-and-white patient.”
6:13 This of course refers to the “M” in “S/M.” You will often hear these terms prefixed with the intensifier “do,” which I believe is derived from the word meaning “degree” or “extent,” so “do-M” as she says here would be very literally something like “masochist to a great degree” or “a great degree of masochism.”
