[ENG SUB] Amatsuki's Awkward Meeting with a Girl, Nakiri Ayame through 96neko (UTAITE/HOLOLIVE)

[@__nessz5285]

*Late T/N, but:* 1. 0:24 Amatsuki: --am I correct? (Referring to his 'nice to meet you' greeting) Ayame: That's cor.. correct..? (As mentioned by Black Megane in the comments, Amatsuki probably said 「～で　あってます」rather than 「出会ったます」 to fully make sure that this is their first greetings to each other~) 2. 1:50 Another interpretation -- Amatsuki: I too, (regard it as a hobby) a little bit.. Since he said this right after Ayame mentions that APEX is her hobby. I initially wrote it as "I too, (play) a little bit.." as used in the video because he said the same thing more directly afterwards-- but well, both interpretations can be used. As usual, I'll be editing this post in case of any corrections or any heads-up! Hope you enjoy this video :)

poor amatsuki but atleast he's trying his best to break the ice though the atmosphere is killing him inside and good thing ojou isn't like a certain introvert onion

I was surprised she handled it pretty well, considering that she's not the most socially fluent either. But she's nothing on Aqua meeting Kuzuha. That was painful pleasure to watch!

[@Elmithian]

@@ex_potato She has easier time interacting over the web. But in person she is a shy one indeed.

[@miku6892]

went to watch the archive and people in the comments were commenting “omiai?” throughout the whole conversation even before 96chan came back 😂

"just a little bit" says the top 100 apex predator player. The awkwardness had me squirming in 2nd-hand embarrassment. That was amazing. Ojou and Amatsuki should collab more often. Kuro-chan, arrange us those collabs!

[@riotanitnot]

😂😂😂 Kuro-chan what did you do to them? This awkward situation was really funny

[@ex_potato]

Why do Ojou's friends love bullying her like this? Toko would do exactly the same thing. Must be because she's too cute not to mess with

[@argonph6180]

@@juampisito bruh is it like lon getting flamed by certain utaite fans (soraru and mafumafu shippers/fans?)

[@Lalalin26]

@@juampisito now if u talk about the male one getting backlash, for Amatsuki(or Soraru or Mafumafu etc etc) case, it's probably will backfire to Hololive. They have lots of fans in JP and the aggressive one is not that small(Soraru ever collabed with this female utaite named lon, she got attacked by his fans and at end of the day he decided to not collab with her anymore so he can protects both of them. The only female utaite those fans tolerates is 96neko, especially since she doesn't act girly that much(she's kind of boyish) and even tho they tolerates her, she doesn't collab that much with the guys either, if there's any project regarding Amatsuki, Mafu, Soraru, luz, nqrse etc you rarely see her in that project). If Hololive's idol purist(whether oversea fans or domestic fans) attack them(Amatsuki and friends), the probability of the girls get lots of hates is bigger than the guys, so it will be a stupid move if any of them try to do it.

This is where I'd just have an honest conversation. Something like "you know, it's hard for introverts to talk to each other once the extrovert leaves, isn't it?" Rather than letting the silence make everything plainly obvious, I'd use the thing itself as something to talk about. Maybe it can develop some, depends on the other person though.
