@@gravity32064 yes the expression in English is ”Cool as a cucumber”. For example, “Okayu is cool as a cucumber.” meaning she’s very relaxed, easy-going, easy to get along with, etc. I don’t speak or read any Japanese so I don’t know how to translate it. Gomenasorry!

This made me realize how awkward it must be for normies to interview vtubers that mostly just stream videogames (either because that's their main activity like Hololive Gamers, or because of the pandemic limits their other activities.) Like, what else are you going to ask Okayu, other than her bio? It's not like they can just start openly talking about their "normal" off-character activities. Kudos to Kotoge for knowing how to improvise from Okayu's sassy responses.

[@math3000]

He's apparently one of the most popular professional comedians in Japan so he knows his stuff

ask them about questions related to hololive? Like what is hololive, what do you do in hololive, stuff like that, a good interviewer will always do background research on the person they are interviewing

I will give congrats to Okayu but also to the comedian who id older and more experienced and made the discussion flow.

I would really love a Behind The Scenes of all the set up even if it "breaks kayfabe"

You didn't see it? Okayu was sitting right there in the room!

[@caiustox]

There's definitely a screen somewhere in the studio, maybe it's at the left side as he keeps looking at it, but it may well be in the direction of the vtubers as to not break immersion.
