Gushing:
Ah yes, the 2018 zeitgeist, with the weirdly formal language, weird BGM constantly on, the Kemono Friends name art, the weird stock image cafe background, not knowing what to call “ear cleaning,” and slapping the word “virtual” in front of absolutely everything that comes out of your mouth. Personally, I would love for Aki to stare into my virtual ears on the virtual train or anywhere else, but maybe that’s just me. This is something I’ve heard her mention quite a few times, but I chose to clip this version since it was the oldest I’ve seen and since I liked the way she puts it here the best. “I like doing and receiving and looking” in particular is an amazing line.
Translator’s notes:
I just want to quickly mention that Aki comes off as almost awkwardly formal here: Slapping the honorific “-san” on random things like down puffs and trains, including the optional extra polite prefix “o-” twice in one word (“omimi no osouji,” ‘ear cleaning,’ usually just “mimi souji” in casual speech), and sticking almost exclusively to keigo (more formal language). This was such a distinctive thing back in 2018 that people would tease her about not being able to speak casually even if she tried. (To be fair, though, this stream was only about a month or so after she debuted.)
