That time Raden got blackout drunk and almost died

[@SUNOSidk]

Let us all take a moment to thank Raden's Late Grandpa for sending her back to us. He clearly knows that her granddaughter was about to be loved by thousands of people.

[@KratosConPelo]

Pls protect Raden, mostly from herself

[@TheShiningEnergy]

This is why i hope people like her genmates talk to her about how dangerous an addiction like smoking can be. Hopefully the Japanese who were brainwashed with the phrase "don't cause trouble" don't take it THAT seriously. We are supposed to talk to our friends, and help them. Not all trouble should be avoided.

[@KevinDIntrovert]

The image of her late grandpa knocking her back into the world of the living seems like it would be really funny animated.

[@Sephlock]

Would it be animated like Okuyasu's near-death experience with his brother?

[@titan133760]

Why did I imagine her late grandpa going full Stan Lee and saying "Don't make me come down there, punk!"?

[@bakunaruto3000]

Girl really went to the afterlife and be like "Granpa! Good to see you!" And the oldman be like "THE F*CK YOU DOING HERE!!!! GET BACK DAMMIT"

[@TheShiningEnergy]

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE YET! *Grabs Raden and yeets her back to earth* - her Gandpa, probably.

[@mercurialblonde]

She's such a good storyteller. Hope you keep translating her

[@deanthomas2305]

Let's pray for her gramps tonight, for bringing back her here with us.

[@rianrodrigues8195]

Imagine you're about to cross to the afterlife and your dead granpa roundhouse kicks you into a second chance

[@GamingEnjoyer13]

"I either go hard or go home" I love her lmao.

[@Sonicsion]

I mean other than getting blackout drunk. Sounds like it was a good time and a fun place to work. Chilling with clients after closing, vibing n all that.

[@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr]

I know right, I wish I could have one those nights in my current job(without the blackout), I haven't drink since I was in college.

[@bono300vox]

I'm so glad Raden is still alive

[@ReigoVassal]

I'm so amazed she's still alive

[@pepsy3085]

how tf is she still alive

[@shizukuTL]

TL Notes follow. But two things first: 1) There’s much more to this girl and her streams than her smoking and drinking habits, so let’s not define her solely by them or all the clips about them! I just clipped this because I thought the story was funny, and I specifically wanted to keep the parts where she tells people to be responsible. And 2) if you’re struggling with addiction or AUD and want to leave it behind, there are many avenues for treatment available - please seek a professional to discuss what may be the best choice for you. 0:13 - In Japanese Buddhist tradition/mythology, the Sanzu River is the crossing between life and death, sort of like the Greeks’ River Styx. 0:29 - The master of an izakaya is like the boss/bartender/owner/etc., so I use all of these interchangeably. 1:00 - Her explanation is pretty unhelpful if you didn’t know how much one gou (一合, 180 mL) of sake was, so I kept it that way. But it’s a typical serving of sake, and it's about how much liquid fits in a tokkuri or masu 3:26 - I’ve seen a lot of people asking about the なぁぜなぁぜ (naze naze) thing, so I’ll explain it here. It’s a meme format on Japanese TikTok where people describe little occurrences or inconveniences from daily life and ask “why, why” (naze naze) to express frustration or annoyance. I cut it out of the clip, but Raden comments that she’s started co-opting “naze naze” for a bunch of different things (like in this story)

[@luckyjc8702]

@@kidrobot. It's not that we should ignore it, but she also talks about way more than just smoking/drinking. A lot of clippers are tunneling mostly on that cuz it gets views.

[@Ricekrispies-m7d]

@@kidrobot. you aren't pulling in 20k+ viewers every zatsu stream just because you smoke and drink or have a mask on lol.

[@Spyduck]

@@kidrobot. Their statements refer to how people who hyperfocus on Raden's habitual smoking and alcohol consumption will eventually funnel her image into one of a girl who's only about social vices, and her investment in the arts as an afterthought. The same way you said that we shouldn't discount her tales of her vices, this also doesn't absolve clippers out there with their low-hanging fruit content of mainly her vices.

[@forceedge2005]

​@@SpyduckReminds me of Lamy in the early days. Most clip watchers only knew her as the alcoholic elf and I seen a few say they disliked Lamy cause they believed she did have an alcohol addiction. I don't like smoking (have asthma) but I ain't judging Raden for it. I like her for her infectious energy and her story telling. So I'd hate to see her be only known for being a smoker.

[@Spyduck]

@@forceedge2005 What's equally incredible about these two women is despite their seperate lifestyles involving nihonshu, one is culturally qualified (Lamy), while the other is culturally appreciative (Raden)

[@Spyduck]

There was once I downed a bottle of Grey Goose vodka (200ml) while gaming. My big mistake was underestimating the strength of vodka drunk straight, and I found myself a bit of a mess, on the floor in my room having vomited onto my waxed-marble floor. I woke up some hours later past midnight, cleaning the mess I made and myself and heading to bed cursing at my foolhardiness. The morning came, I looked at where I laid on the floor. A puddle-like mark remains till this day where my acidic stomach contents were, eroded the floor wax, as a reminder of my careless behaviour with alcohol that night. Now I just enjoy 30mls of whiskey at a time, even when gaming, as a safe reminder to myself.

[@MyCrafcik]

that's not that much lol

[@PokeDude1995]

Thank you for leaving in that reference to the Sanzu River, I was never too into japanese mythology so it was nice to learn something new 👍

[@Nomans_Nomen]

She’s like a cross between goth and gyaru, except the personality is all gyaru. Like turbo gyaru. Or that’s the vibe I get, anyways.

[@xinlee8550]

I fucking love Raden so much. Thank you for translating!

[@scotthicks1795]

I think the owner had sized her up pretty well, and let her learn a lesson. Note that he threw away the hard liquor rather than mix his alcohol. That’s where things start to go wrong. Especially on vacation where there’s no barkeep, staff doesn’t really know you and won’t cut you off. My best effort was three and a half times the legal limit. Informed by medical staff the next morning…

[@moonclown305]

This wild lady, is cuter each stream for some reason.

I like how the shop closed and then you stay inside as long as you possibly can. In our country, they usually tell you when they will close and lowkey telling you to go.

[@zeilus405]

Theres also Zeta who got hit by a motorcyle lol

[@Xaito]

I never liked getting drunk. I prefer to stay in control of my bodily functions. But we've had those at parties - we'd carry the ones who passed out home in a wheelbarrow.

[@sufianramli]

No barrels or wedding dresses?

[@Delmworks]

Sage advice-if you’ve drunk a lot, try to go to sleep in the recovery position

[@paradoxicalnexus7246]

Ah that reminds me of when I downed a full thing of crown apple of water. I went to sleep as fast as possible so I wouldn't do anything. Woke up in a puddle of puke the next morning.

[@bytes607]

I've never had a full blackout to the point where I wondered how I got home. I seem to hold out and get myself home every time. Drinking gets more difficult as you get older though. Even a year can make a huge difference. I'm glad she was safe and was able to go home. Her workplace probably took care of her. I like the fact the she asked not to pressure other people into drinking as well. Some people don't drink for preference and for health issues as well.

[@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr]

It's actually about gender and weight than age, woman and slime people hang alcohol worst, just imagine how bad she got since she likely to be small. Sometimes I wonder how is there women that drink the double what I do, in my experience they tend to drink more than men.

Raden: "The point of the story is, alcohol is dangerous and you should leave it for professionals, like me"

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

cute raden. interesting story.

[@simpledj509chromo7]

Jesus 1.8L of sake and more on top of that is a LOT of booze. I'm a seasoned alcoholic and that amount of booze would definitely get the best of me. I'm glad Raden got through that night and hopefully she remembers to slow it down. I've been there several times though. Sometimes it's a little too easy to cross the line when everyone's having a great time and you happen to be the moron that forgot how to draw a line five drinks ago.

[@Windyyyyyyyyy]

Its easy to say that "haha Kikuri Hiroi moment", but this isn't a laughing matter. Im glad that Raden was able to survive.

[@chodnejabko3553]

Young people should really be careful with alcohol. There is this very tragic story of young fashion model Yoshika Yuhnagi who passed out in a park and died of hypothermia at the age of 17. At least Raden passed out in the izakaya. Who knows what could have happened if she collapsed in the street.

[@ACiruka]

Her streaming stance is similar to Coco. She further said: "I would rather collab with real art critics than vtubers. I'll continue to drink and smoke. If you don't like my stance, then don't watch my stream."

[@yacht-responce]

I sometimes forget Raden is Hololive DEV_IS(Device?), cuz her atmosphere is so Japanese-traditional.

[@Mari-Schimmer]

Yeah, like device

I have had blackout 3 times from alcohol lol, no more man... no more... it's not fun..

[@Player-rv8ph]

I got a bad feeling there's gonna be 4th time, but I pray not

[@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr]

It happened to me once, it's not a nice feeling to know you were so vulnerable for 3 or 4 hours.

[@inlean3224]

Experienced it once, It was my cousin's birthday. I've been curious about what I would do when I get to the state of "everything is a good idea" of drunkness. Cousin told me I just drop dead for a while, wakes up, chugs another bottle, puked right after and starts to chase a random chicken, tries to exorcise it and starts to wrestle the said chicken while screaming "I will save this world from the influence of the devil". Fun times

[@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr]

I have the feeling she is kinda the most authentic of them, for real they are all around the late 20s and they don't speak much of alcohol or cigarettes, it's funny cause you can identify with the dumb things you did as a young adult.

[@fatiswealth7865]

Raden probaly drank to a point where she only have 700yen left and thats why she is telling everybody to drink cautiously xD

I wish I had the power of ero doujin artist after hear her stories.

[@unityyouaremybeloveworld1017]

Can we fix her?

[@sartrreuse]

Wait, do people normally think they could have died if they just blackout and don't remember some parts afterwards? Isn't this like... really common? Especially in Japan with all the Shibuya meltdowns. Or was it just formulated this way because she saw a dream (?) of her grandparent? I can't tell.

[@shizukuTL]

No, it was the dream. And it's not just that she saw her dead grandfather, it's that she saw him at the Sanzu River (see the TL note) Sure, you probably aren't gonna die of alcohol poisoning from drinking sake over the course of a whole work shift, but 2+ L of sake plus some hard liquor atop that isn't necessarily an *insignificant* amount of alcohol either lol

[@depressobear]

man, at this point. there should be a sub-unit called holoredflags.

[@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr]

Dude if you think that's red flag is because you never hang out with friends, this is basically any college students reunion... Red flag would be she being abusive or borderline suicidal.

[@araarashinigami]

No lie, my favorite girl of the bunch. She so reminds me of girls I've dated, worked with, was the boss for... for better and for worse. I'd bet money she works/worked in a kyaba, from the fact that her boss pretended to drink, but just dumped out the booze. That's what my ex did, as her job was to get guys to buy as many bottles for her as possible. But she was drinking champagne, not 1.8L bottles of sake. Real talk: no way you're actually dying from alcohol poisoning drinking 40 proof sake, folks, especially if you work in a bar and drink for a living. You'd more likely die from having your bladder explode. She just had a long day, drank tons, and passed out like normal people do. Thanks for the translation. I heard about this, but didn't go back digging for the source, and no one in the EN community's been willing to sub it, more than likely because they know Raden's been getting a lot of hate from super judgmental "fans."
