Gushing:
I feel for Mimi here, Shoebill is iconic and it’s easy to have your brain filled with Kemono Friends. This stream was hilarious, the two of them came up with insane character settings like “psychopath angel whose hobby is mind control” (Mimi...) for all the newcomers, including Tirol even though she had already been streaming before that. SoyaMiya collabs were so chaotic, I miss Mimi…
Usual disclaimers:
I make these clips in large part to practice my not so great Japanese. My friend Cherem helps me with them which I really appreciate and makes them a lot better. I like to leave detailed translator’s notes to provide extra explanations and help people understand why I chose to translate certain things in certain ways.
Timestamp to make it so youtube doesn't interpret my TNs as “chapters”: 2:22
Translator’s notes:
0:06 Mimi’s usual first-person pronoun is “Mimi.” Usually I would also say that Soya’s usual first-person is “Soya,” but she’s very inconsistent with it, so in this clip she uses “atashi” (a casual, feminine choice) instead.
1:08 I think Mimi is trying to make a pun between the name “RukaKO” and “HashibiroKOu,” meaning Shoebill (literally ‘wide-billed stork’).
