Even The Japanese Fans Have No Idea What She's Saying

[@livewiretune25]

As a Japanese person myself, I can agree that understanding Hajime’s words takes some effort. I’ve deciphered and transcribed Hajime’s lines from this clip with both the English translation and the original text below. Please enjoy, and Merry Christmas! 00:00 There's writing, mister are nothing unusual here, Good, good, good. Okay, okay. Hmmmmmm. 文字があって、おじさんも普通。よしよしよし、OKOK。うーん、うーん。 00:08 Nope, nothing at all.

This transcription reflects the unique style of Hajime's commentary, including her casual and repetitive checks of the game’s visuals. Hajime’s playstyle seems to simplify progressively, getting faster and abbreviating expressions, which makes her pronunciation difficult for others to follow. Tbh, I’m tired because I worked so hard (:3」∠)

"For a second" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@satorudo]

A lot of this clip is “stream of consciousness” talk. She’s actually very quickly assessing all the things in view and sort of verbally checking off what they are and if they’re anomalies. So to a non speaker who’s more heavily reliant on context to understand some Japanese this is gonna be hard to track since the context shifts wildly as single words Hajimes lisp makes everything that much harder to understand
