Matsuri flames Roberu's YouTube thumbnails [Holostars/Hololive/Yukoku Roberu/Natsuiro Matsuri]

[@statskytl]

5:41 - Matsuri's pressure ~TL Notes~ 2:22 - Literally says, what are you looking at? Which still works in English but "Are your eyes ok?" or "Are we looking at the same thing?" sounds more natural 3:33 - He actually just says he(his brain) goes "EEEEE" when he goes to make a thumbnail. 4:11 - "追いつく" "To catch up/Keep up" (with the thumbnail) sounds awkward here, so I went with "gets away from me" since it means the same thing and can also mean that "The idea that he had in mind got away from him" 4:30 - Here starts a series of puns and wordplay from Roberu for each excuse he makes. 気ちっちゃい /気が小さい(ki ga chiisai) means timid, which I used, but I also wanted the wordplay from "little" to remain, so I used "little confidence" a couple times 5:04 - 文字(moji/words) もじもじ(mojimoji/bashful/hesitant) A bit of a stretch, but I made it "worrywart" since it matches sounds with "word" and also has partial reduplication, which mojimoji has 5:45 - 同化も(douka mo/blend or assimilate)、どうかしないように(douka shinai you ni/try somehow to not do) Wordplay with douka. I'm kinda proud of this one. lol 7:50 - Regulars is capitalized since 常連さん(jyourensan) is what he calls his fanbase 9:01 - ”粉落とし/kona otoshi”"really firm ramen noodles" (Actual, fresh noodles btw, not instant) So, there's more to this than "firm" noodles. What it literally means is "lose/remove the flour". You know how when you're kneading dough/rolling and cutting noodles you sprinkle flour on it to prevent it from sticking? Removing that. It might depend on the restaurant, but "kona otoshi" seems to usually be from 1-10 seconds in boiling water. I got different answers from different websites and videos because I don't think ordering it is that common since it's essentially raw dough.

I hope he will ego search and see this clip and learn what his thumbnails are supposed to look like thanks to you 😂

[@yellow8980]

I am sorry, may I ask something? What is 'ego search'? Thankyou :)

[@thatdarnskag5043]

9:42 love how you edited this part

[@brawlflowers]

the thumbnail for this Collab was indeed an improvement. But I guess anything is an improvement when you're at 0. and in this case he went from 0 to a 3. Everything Matsuri said was completely valid, and I am not surprised he did this in 2 minutes lol. It's just: - Stock orange background with pattern - 2 pngs - text with white outline That being said, I have to say, there is a certain charm now with Roberu's sloppy thumbnails. I always chuckle whenever I see one and he just uses a scaled down png of him sitting down somewhere on the thumbnail. They have become synonymous with Roberu himself I think it would be weird if he began consistently creating good thumbnails. I don't want to live in a timeline where Roberu stops using his orange background with black text and pointing upwards png

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah, no matter if good or bad, it's his style of thumbnail and easy to identify.

[@Alienking01]

As someone who can't read JP myself, I can say that Roberu`s thumbnails don't inspire me to watch the stream. Most of the time I have no idea what's going on. And I don't translate every stream title, especially when I am on my phone. I only do that when the thumbnail looks interesting and I want to know more. From my point of view it looks like Roberu could gain a lot of viewers by doing better at making thumbnails.

[@K..C]

@@Alienking01 You would love to see Kuzuha from Nijisanji's thumbnails, they are worse than Roberu's

[@NightKev]

@@K..C Isn't he also either #1 or #2 most subs in Niji?

[@Ausdrake]

Right, despite their questionable quality, Roberu and Astel have such unique thumbnails it's part of their brand at this point.

[@Ausdrake]

9:43 that was genuinely hilarious editing. Usually I find that level of editing kinda obnoxious but it fit the situation so well I just cracked up. With Roberu's "did you just sober up?" after, the whole thing felt like a legit scene from a TV show. Well done, and thanks for the clip.

[@edenromanov]

Matsurichan was disappointed with the quality of Roberukuns thumbnails but impressed by his speed and had an internal war over what feeling she should have lmao

[@LosDog]

Your edits for this clip was very, "chef's kiss"

ROBERU LEARNING MAKING THUMBNAIL WOULD BE SO FUN TO WATCH ACTUALLY HAHAHA

[@rikaasakura1560]

As someone from 2024 he has some improvement but still bad 😅😅😅

Meanwhile there's RIZZTELL with his stock images as Thumbnail lol

[@HeathenHacks]

There's only a single person that I know of who can still get good traffic even without an awesome thumbnail skill, and he is ProZD. 3:36 Also, I think what Magni said before can be related to this. IIRC. He said something in the lines of, "You'll know that you're at a certain level [of being an artist] if you can transfer what's on your head to a piece of paper or media." or something like that.

[@kaatissensei]

Pun translations on point as always. Also amazing editing to make her reaction even better.

[@rcane6842]

Your clips overall are so clean! Description, subtitle readability, font color, camera panning, and providing of original video at the end of the video - it's all on-point. Not to mention there's always TL Notes in the comments section. Outro is simplistic as well - doesn't take away the content of the clip. If I may just add though, maybe you could put 2-3 seconds of intro to let us know that it's "you". There are some clippers that once you see the intro - you know that's him/her and that the clip is definitely 😘🤌 Now if only YT algorithm would pick your channel up.. 🙏

[@statskytl]

Doing something like that never even crossed my mind since like you said, I try not to do too much to take away from the original content, just some light seasoning via little edits. I'll keep that in mind though and see if I can come up with something. Can you point me to some example channels that do clean, simple ones?

Love the close up edits in this clip!

[@srkares]

damn, i didnt think roberu was the kind of guy that would only last 2min max when making thumbnails, before his brain glitches out. on the other hand thats seriously impressive in and of itself, i'd probably need around 5min to make a thumbnail like he did.

[@crimson35124]

but roberu’s kusozako thumbnail skills is his charm point

[@noiro2342]

Love the edit looool

[@Captnspork]

I was not expecting that man to say 30 seconds. That's impressive in and of itself!

[@turooru]

In the words of Giorgio Chiellini - "it is the history of the -Spurs- Suntempo" Temma's drawings Astels Stock Photos Roberu's all around shittiness Suntempo without bad thumbnails is like peanut butter without jelly, sure it could work, but it's not as iconic.

[@-Raylight]

Love how winning son always has an excuse for his thumbnails xD While I agree with you that winning son's thumbnail has its own charm, the one that Matsuri suggested looks really cool! I love it when you zoomed it into her face, poor Matsuri, she has become sober from Roberu speedrunning making thumbnails xD

[@LosDog]

He should pay you to make his thumb nails

[@jedanimates]

FR HAHAHAHAHHA

[@k_tin7083]

At this point his thumbnails are a valuable part of his character. If he improves other vtubers wont be able to bash his thumbnails anymore lol 😅

[@lyubit9841]

This collab was amazing; this conversation, Baelz showing up in chat at the exact moment she shouldn't have... I'm impressed you were able to narrow down to a single topic for the clip.

[@Pyrocore77]

Excellent highlight. I was laughing the whole time, and the editing was icing on the cake!

[@Colopty]

Matsuri's conflicted knowing she could be saving 20 minutes per thumbnail but at the cost of falling to the dark side.

[@kentoscocos5238]

winning son's thumbnail might not be the best thumbnail, but its iconic! we love the personality behind it HAHAHAHA

[@snerl69]

oh man roberu is so funny. im insuffiecent at japanese to watch his stuff but he si hilarious. thanks for the clip

[@FreePalestine11]

Sure you made nice thumbnails statsky kun, but did it take you 30sec?

[@statskytl]

There's no way I could ever match his speed

[@benja9029]

2:10 everyone just gave up on Roberu's thumbnail game that's why haha

[@Sybato]

She's right, It not only helps with visibility and readability (especially on handheld devices) to have all the stuff bigger, but it also makes you want to click when the thumbnail just punches you in the face with the confidence.

[@tomah4wk476]

Good editing at the end. Subscribed.

[@Sieghiro]

Ah that was great. But our son's thumbnails are the pinnacle of art.

[@Gigihmmm]

Thank you for this I really enjoy these TLs and you earn yourself an Subscriber(I'm edging closer & closer to learning Japanese & ID since those are wat I primary watch)

[@guessit5036]

*Matsuri praises Roberu* *Roberu feels happy and grateful* Matsuri: So... Why are you so bad at making thumbnails? Roberu: Listen here, you little shit.

[@Jojob541]

Well, we all know who to blame if Matsuri starts using instant thumbnails now xD

[@pensmith]

30 seconds? 2 minutes? Dam that's fast.

[@Nyperold018]

Funny thing, the background might have worked better if he'd put in a still of the model she was using at the time. At least in terms of not having her shirt be the same color as it.

[@NakanoHitori]

Well if it counts for anything, his looks better than what I would make if I were to make some

[@Toki-jm2kb]

good clip

[@Ed.Underscore.Underscore]

I don’t subscribe or like clippers as a rule except for a few. I love your editing style and your TL notes are exceptional. Keep up the hard work! It’s noticed and be well my friend.

[@shizukanasora]

😮 It suprised me that they did all their thumbnails by themself throughout all those years with high quality and high creativity, suits well with their stream as if it was created after the stream. I had believed that must be a team in the company or they hired some kind of designer/assistant to do these stuffs.

[@ThomasNing]

I think the thumbnail would be perfectly good if he just used a picture of Matsuri wearing the clothes she's wearing - that way their clothing would be coordinated, she wouldn't blend into the back, and you could still have the orange theme tying them together.

[@taranchura2061]

Nice editing and i laugh a lot 🤣

[@UltraZulwarn]

I always wonder, the Tempus bois often use fanarts for their thumbnails, why doesn't Roberu do that? The other JP holostars too though, Astel's thumbnails with stock images are pretty funny

[@anka9776]

Nice collab

[@saifors]

"When I lack self-confidence I make myself smaller" Oh so that's why he's hamster sized on the thumbnails of the Idol M@ster streams

[@N1netbattler]

Nice thumbnail but how long did it take to make it? lol

[@statskytl]

I'd say 5 minutes tops, lol. Unless you mean this video's... then also 5? I usually take at least 20 minutes if I don't have any assets I can reuse. I think the hardest one was my NePoLaBo clip. That took a while because I made the custom "Nene karts" and then had to fit all that, them and the words in lol. That was like an hour?

[@youraveragemachine1013]

Yet again son's thumbnail claim another victim

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Flashback to Subaru's thumbnails that all lock the same... But then, when the thumbnails are bad, the only way is up! And if they're recognizable bad, that is a quality in it's own right. Plus he has the right idea, both have sort of an orange vibe

[@maschyt]

If I remember correctly, Subaru said that she creates her thumbnails on her smartphone.

[@rajamrifqi5764]

You know what? Let him cook

[@Kaorukung]

One day... ppl gonna ask Roberu Oshi to tell him to improve his thumbnail for sure... - x-)....
