1:14 (Boku no douki) My best friend → We're in the same batch (i.e. entered Hololive together)
During her debut stream, Nekomata Okayu described how she met Inugami Korone for the first time. The okakoro teetee is strong in this one.
I couldn't find an English version of this clip, so I decided to translate it myself! Note that I've never formally studied Japanese before. My translations are purely weeb knowledge, so if you find any mistakes, please point them out in the comments!

![Uruha Rushia accidentally reveals her age and weight on stream [ENG subs]](/img/n.gif)
Well we gotta consider that a lot of this is part of their setting, so it's hard to differentiate which parts are influenced by their actual real backstory. As we all know the "bakery" is just a stand-in for Korone's real day job. But I do believe the details about how Korone was a shy introvert and how Okayu approached her so casually. In fact it is always the details that Okayu focuses on that show how close she is to Koro-san. Her laugh, her jokes, her weird humor, her throat clearing, her little idiosyncracies... Okayu always seems to associate strong emotions with these details, which is generally a sign of a deeper connection.
This stream also reminds me that Korone's first stream came after and she basically begged for Okayu to save her and wanted to end it early. Such a poor, yet precious doggo. The anxiety seems to have calmed down considerably over this year of exposure and I am glad that Koro-san can now stand on her own two feet again. She has supported many of the other members by now and makes a great senpai. Perhaps if the time is right, Koro-san will be the one to help Okayu again instead.
Very nice ♥️♥️♥️
Well said
Do you like to psychoanalysis vtubers?
@@MrMagnetron2 Eh? I just think too much about any media I consume. Isn't really limited to Vtubers or anything. lol
@@Chuito12PR According to what we know Korone streams at night and works during the day. She barely sleeps.
I am fully aware that Korone helped Okayu out in the past when she was in a bad place. This is common knowledge at this point. It's obvious why Okayu adores Koro-san so much because of that. But since their Hololive debut Korone has been relying on Okayu a lot more than the other way around from what we are privvy to. I am just saying now that Koro-san has gotten her confidence and stable place in Hololive she can lend Okayu a shoulder again, because Okayu has recently shown signs of being a bit lost.
I was confused for a moment, I had never seen Okayu this excited/nervous lol
Then I realized it was her debut stream
It's pretty funny to see how Okayu's voice is a bit higher in her debut stream, because she's nervous, but Korone's Voice is a bit lower, because her throat was banged up
I would like to like this, but it’s at 666 likes
Wait I though Okayu started first?
I only realize how important this part is, within the context.
Okayu debuted a mere week before Korone.
This means that Okayu's exposition bit here is essentially the first time we get to hear about Korone. Okayu introduces Korone to us ahead of time.
Then, one week later, Korone gets a really awkward debut. Her BGM is creepy, her display resolution is bugged and tiny, she name-dropped a staff member, the infamous 156m typo, and overall she was too shy to introduce herself properly. Instead of spending time with her chat so they could get to know each other more, she let Okayu in to help her out with some technical stuff and for moral support, and then the rest of Gamers came over to play Splatoon.
So, some things here.
What we knew about Korone from her debut is about as much as what Okayu says here. Okayu saved Korone a lot of trouble by doing this backup-exposition, possibly knowing that Korone's debut might not cover enough from Korone's shyness. Second, she came over to help Korone out even if she was only one week in from her own debut. So Okayu's little stream problems here (being slightly less than chill and being a bit too loud and all) probably still persisted into Korone's debut, so she wasn't exactly relaxed by that time either.
Korone hadn't even been introduced to us and Okayu does her best friend a solid, absolutely preparing the way for her. On her own debut, the first time she goes out to the public as Okayu. In hindsight, she had probably saved Korone from having a much rockier start.
OkaKoro had been there from the beginning, and their long-running friendship is probably one of the best things in Hololive.
I wonder. Korone has prior live streaming experience also vtuber experience. Well first big job as a Idol might make someone nervous since there was big name vtubers in Hololive like Sora, Miko, Fubuki. Also Korone & Okayu got first introduced in Fubuki's stream while Okayu shared a bit of background story.
Why is this comment underrated. This info is big, Knowing the history is something we need to know, thank you.
@@siamshikdar I won't post the channel for privacy reasons, but while it is true that Korone had prior experience. The channel was basically like a coop channel with Korone and Okayu and so Korone had Okayu to rely on for pretty much every video. Compared that to her Hololive debut where she's basically semi-solo except for the occasional collab and you can kinda see why she was so nervous.
I also remember Korone or maybe Okayu had talked about why they didn't do some streams together for a while and that was because Korone wanted to able stand on her own without having to use Okayu as a crutch all the time and would only do an actual collab when she was good. It's pretty crazy to think about because that decision was basically what has taken Korone so far and also taken her to 1 Million subs.
Man, seriously thank you for sharing this. This really explains a lot. As someone who literally fell into the vtuber rabbit whole a couple months ago, I was basically on the surface level of things when it came to the friendships of Hololive. At first, I thought "Oh well that's a little over the top" whenever I saw a video about how nice and wholesome their friendships were (e.g OkaKoro or Korone and Miko's friendship etc.). But after 1 or 2 videos (and a dozen more, eventually lol), I realised how wrong I was and how closely-knit they actually are (some moments even brought a tear to my eye). This is more than just CGDCT, you're actually watching wholesome relationships of wholesome people, served with video games on the side and a sprinkle of laughter on top.
Hell no im not reading all that
i can totally see Korone entering her room soon after and screaming
"why did you say that" in shy embarresed manner, while lighty punching her
I would LOVE to see that actually happening
ok
Imagine a cute girl going to a shop/restaurant you work at and you become friends because you see her so often. Eventually she feels comfortable enough to not be shy around you anymore and ends up loving you. Okayu doesn't have to dream when reality is better.
"Reality"?
I have some disturbing news for you about virtual UA-camrs...
@@MegaZeta I'm sure Hololive isn't as bad as Kizuna's company.
Mirage please inform me..?
@@user-zn7dl4cs8w I don't know all the details, so hopefully someone corrects me if I get something wrong.
The Kizuna AI channel is owned by a company called Activ8, and they're the ones behind the decision to have three Kizuna AI characters. The original, ai-pii, and Love. When they first started, it seemed like they were trying to replace and get rid of the original VA. I believe she actually did recently quit, and then came back in an advising role. Here's two reddit posts that go a bit more in depth on it:

Kitsune Gaming thank you!
This backstory...
Are we SURE this isn't an anime?
I mean, it kind of is? Like, this might include some basic details that actually happened between the people behind Korone and Okayu but otherwise...
Realize that a lot of the Hololive Vtuber personas we see are invented by the talent based on their fan worship of anime/manga/video game stories, stuff like most of the kayfabe-lesbian banter, to give the most obvious example, which is straight out of eroge/perv-manga made by straight men for straight men, and it shows.
@@MegaZeta i appreciate this perspective because this has been confusing the hell out of me. i wonder if it's stressful, imitating that kind of trope in an improv setting.
This perspective is a little on and off.
Okayu and Korone might have lived in different places before meeting. Korone has a distinct accent that has been attributed as some form of Kansai-ben, which Okayu lacks. Okayu does have a grandmother she lives with, she has been heard snoring in the background of some streams (dunno source but it's in the vtuber fandom wiki). And we're pretty sure that Okayu and Korone have been pretty long-time friends before Hololive.
Even if we knew the truth, I'd say this is still pretty anime. Sure, there may not be sweet potatoes, onigiri, or bread involved as details, but probably Okayu was telling a guarded, but still partly truthful version of how she met Korone at some point.
@@MegaZeta It's hard to tell because I've been friends with girls who joke like that while fucking around among friends, but without going as far as publicly groping people. It's obviously played up for the Audience, but I can see parts of it being based on their genuine way of banter.
@@Lookin4aBoxToLive Its like Wrestling you don´t know where the character ends and the person begins
what a legend, translating how Okayu and Korone met each other, from Okayu's first stream,
And I like their Background Stroy a lot. A shy girl from the Bakery and a laid back girl from an Onigiri Shop.
Girl meets Girl. haha
What an Anime Story. lol
Really gives me that heart-warming feel
lmao if there was an anime with a similar plot I'd die for it
@@uggranpops8442 I hate to break it to you but this is basically what you're asking for already, unless you think Korone really worked at a bakery
Kinda tamako market feels lol
My yuri goggles are telling me she wasn't going all the way to the mountains for onigiri.
Korone x Okayu's grandma is quite farfetch, though.
We must be wearing the same kind of glasses
Super high tech
Hey, you don't ever take those off.
Same.
even when quiet she's still cute, now she's so energic and her humor always got me good
From a quiet girl, suddenly change into a cheerful girl.
Oya oya, must be first love in sight
When the Video has Korone in the title
UA-cam: COVID-19
Get the latest information from the CDC about COVID-19.
Okayu was patient Zero of the Korone Virus
コロナウイルス→korona-Virus
コロさん→koro-san
In some languages the translation for "Corona" can be "Korone".
The world needs moar OkaKoro.
Im guessing you're an okakoro zombie then
You meant okane?
@@IcePlusCoffee236 don't tell coco
Okane
okane.
Okayu's stream are always chill and calm. Opposite of Korone, very energetic and her silly humor xD
Korone has a very dark side though ;)
That cute girl who kills/tortures you with a smile on her face...
It's probably just a role though.
Mostly. She likes gore.
you know what they say
Polar opposites attract
and they match each other pretty well ;)
Now I need to find a clip of Korone clearing her throat...
Put the link here if you see one
meee2
Onegaishimasu
I need it
The closest thing i could think of is Mio and Korone's ASMR video, when Mio show's Korone how to drink water while making soft gulping sounds. And Korone fails miserably, like she doesn't know how to gulp.
I mean gulping and clearing your throat are aaaalmost the same. That's a fun segment.
I love backstory clips like this. Adds so much to the character and the person behind them.
Korone have really come so far. It seems like she had pretty severe social anxiety. I'm glad that she got over it, or most of it anyway. Think about how many interesting ppl there are out there with social anxiety who are too afraid to show who they are.
"I think it's a bit rude to compare her to Aqua."
Already dunking on the masochist maid.
She was actually saying it was rude to Aqua, not Korone.
Korone before: Ahh... Ahh...
Korone now: Yubi~ Yubi~
Korone's character is so well done, and the actress behind her fits her so well. Like, sorry to break the 4th wall, but I just really dig what they do with her.
Even her small little behaviors remind me of how actual dogs are. You know how some are kinda shy when they first meet you, but once they warm up they're all over you? It's very cute, just like how Korone and Okayu met.
Honestly I think this is a rare case of the actress behind Korone not so much acting but more so being really well cast. If you watch Korone's debut it's pretty clear that besides her shyness she is pretty much the same in and out of character. Because to be blunt Korone's debut was a trainwreck, so much so she panicked part way through calling for Okayu to save her then later their manager sends the other Hololive Gamer members to do an impromptu collab stream because they were so worried for her. Hell she came in with creepy music and metal music as her "calm" bgm. They were the kind of quirks that even caught all but Okayu off guard so it wasn't planned.
Yeah, casting Korone as a dog was an amazing decision. She isn't faking (all of) those dog-like tics and personality she genuinely fits the mold. I couldn't imagine Korone as an elf, or a cat, or a squid she is 100% a doggo.
@@Never_heart And to think she would go from this trainwreck of a debut, to becoming the first JP Hololiver to reach 1 million subs xD
@@megamage911 Never underestimate the power of genuine-ness, the way you can tell that her real personality shine through i think really resonates with other people~
not to mention that that personality is super cute and endearing on top of it~
@@ninjablade2 Very very true. And not to forget really funny! She's honestly a comedic genius, as she has proven time and time again! Something as simple as the loading circle in Assassin's Creed being close to her head, so she made a joke out of not talking while it was there, to make it seem like her own brain was loading, or something as big as a game not working, so she on whim did a stream where she had gone so mad over that, that her mirror world version suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She's just great in so many ways.
This is a very major development for our little kitten Okayu really.
This Okayun feels so cheery and happy and now, the current Okayun is still a very happy cat but with mature and calming vibe. Really love this cat~
Okayu: I see you a coming a lot of times do you like my onigiri?
Korone: ahh... ahh...
Korone's mind: I can't say that I went all the way here to see her everyday! What am I gonna do???
Homolive SAIKOOOOOOO
It's hard to tell how much of this is keyfabe and how much is how they actually met.
It's fine, they're still cute.
aaaaaaaa thanks for your translation xD
"Same dosis of OkaKoro?"
"yes yes just inject it no questions asked."
Yep, Good work. We all really appreciate it. Thank you a lot I hope you keep doing it and will make the tomboy cat world known :D
Feels like clearing her throat matches up with her accent
0:27 Even in her debut stream, she was confident enough to take a light jab at Subaru. Ah, bless our tomboy ASMR duck for playing the straight man, we love you Subaru-san
I can't get over Okayu's laugh. It's just so warm and clearly from the heart.
Title has Korone in it.
UA-cam: COVID-19, get the latest information...
This madlad adds subs to both the caption and the video

i need the source for that mMMmMmmMMmM throat clearing.
Anyone Please?
I'll make a video if I find it!
Here’s a short clip of it. ua-cam.com/video/Y4EnIuJwfBg/v-deo.html
thanks for the translation, very good video
The throat clearing thing is interesting because Okayu always stood out to me in that regard with how often she clears hers during free chat.
okakoro is such a pure friendship... my heart... okayu was great at making korone break out of her shell, wasn’t she? supporting her before her debut like this and during it when korone was too nervous and needed help. what a great friend :’) oh i hope most of what she said about their backstory is real. honestly they’re one of the best things hololive has, they’re too wholesome for my heart to handle
This is just the pilot to a new yuri bait slice of life

Nice another translator, thank you for translating.
Okayu pulled the "so, you come here often?"
I can't imagine Korone being quiet......
So pure
I cant help but fear all of these stories and relationships are just part of the character they play and not the human behind it
The story obviously plays into the characters (Korone and Okayu irl very probably don’t own food shops) but the interactions...there’s no way those could be faked
Nice work! thanks for your translation!
0:29 that was a great voice of Korone.
cute okayu and okakoro.
It makes me happy to see how they are such good friends
I can actually relate to this because I have a best friend that I met 7 years til now, and he had to move to another state far away,I actually see him off to the airport.
Ngl Koro-san seriously be taking 8 hours live streams at any given time PLUS she has a day job.... Respect!!
Korone clears her throat the same way she talks ^ I ^ I
I v I v lol
3:58 SAVAGE OKAYUUU
The dedication in my man's work to translate this mad respect
Is the bakery & onigiri stuff going on legitimate, or is it just some vtuber character lore? lmao
I wanna believe it's real so that I can cope with my okakoro addiction
what a terrible lore if thats the case
It’s lore
Its kinda a metafore for their real jobs
This is a legit romance movie waiting to be made
somehow youtube AI that have more "A" part than "I" think Korone is related to Covid -19
The fact that some of us thought that Korone was the one who started clinging to the other
0:30
we were on the verge of greatness
A wild Ojou appeared 0:19
Korone likes potatoes.
Bois, the legacy of x potato began already long, long ago.
1:14 the timing of the BGM.
0:15 Actual cat meowing sounds.
Wholesome!
Now okayu just gave us a hint of korone's place
i know that this is the Canon explanation but she really did pull a "you come here often?"
either it's a setting set up by the company, or it's their actual story, I chose to believe they are really a good friend with long, deep relationship. We might not be able to know their real self, but there are just a handful of people who can act like they are good friends with each other and OkaKoro is not one of them
my guess is that the details are fabricated for the sake of anonymity, but the broad strokes are true.
OKAYU TAIL!
thnx
This was really cute, I love seeing them together but lately Okayu keeps getting a bigger harem that I'm not sure how Korone will react.
She has grown and managed to overcome some of her introverted nature, so she also has friends there... though Okayu is still a legit lady killer.
She said she often gets compared to Rena: whentheycry.fandom.com/wiki/Ry%C5%ABg%C5%AB_Rena
Okayu is underrated
Her reliable guy senpai energy is off the charts
How to be friend and join a company:(Okayu edition)
Onigiri
this sounds like something straight out of an anime
a onigri shop in the mountains and bakery shop in the city
like i wonder if shes telling the truth
Sounds like a bit of poetic license, but not necessarily fabrication.
This is the true power of onigiri
This is too wholesome i cant, i cant. Its to Kawaii. I will die happily.
So OkaKoro is the classic "extrovert adopting the introvert".....
When someone thinks the way you clear your throat is cute, you know it's true love
okakoro
nice.
God these two are murderously sweet.
Ah... the origin of their friendship. NOICE!!!
Hololive really did a good job in finding the perfect va for each character(except for ayame and towa...) and long time no see you around Casual Weeb 0w0
I actually think its the other way around. They found the perfect character for each va
So Korone was like aqua and both of them fell in love with okayu
Okayu really gets to those socially anxious introverts. But only Korone actually managed to save her back during hard times.
Okayu seems so much more hyper in her debut stream than her regular streams, you can really tell she's nervous lol.
ahhh now the onigiri makes sense
He surprising thing is, that okayu's virtual avatar's mouth is not moving while talking the rest of the video during the end that it moved. Impressive. Pretty impressive.
Is this an anime plot like seriously it's so cliche cuz I kept watching anime and reading manga but over all I love their back story it's so sweet and soothing okayu help korone cuz she is shy type of a girl to a confident girl now and I ship them so hard that I will die without regrets I hope and wish they get merried YURI IS THE BEST!!💕
The mmmmhh part was so funny i cant HAHA
god i hope the majority of this is real lol. okayu and korone are so damn cute together and their chemistry seems legitimate and real
the _Tee Tee_ energy is high on this one
Lol Korone clearing her throat sounds like a car revving up XD. I legit UA-camd Korone clearing her throat because I was curious on how she does it because of how Okayu said Korone does it. And yep its real accurate to what Okayu said lmao.
The nation of okayu and korone were living in harmony until the senchou nation arrived.
who the hell dislike this pure thing
Lol her story really sound like an anime moment of the MC first meeting with her best friend
It messes with me sometimes how the real people behind this mesh with their characters. I thought maybe Korone actually owns a bakery, which I'd be happy about cause I think it's really good for these kinds of internet personalities, like let's players and streamers, to invest in some kind of business or alternate income source, like how Jacksepticeye has his Cloak clothing line, Vanoss with his music and I think other projects. Then Okayu says she owns an Onigiri(?) shop deep in the mountains and I'm like "Oh, this is probably their characters, not really them". I do hope that if they make really good money streaming and/or from Hololive, they invest it towards something in case streaming is no longer a viable source of income for them. A lot could happen, like there was a bit of a scare recently, right? There were claims being taken against them by companies cause Hololive didn't get proper permission for them to play their games and what not, or am I remembering it wrong?
You will never find a better relationship between a cat and a dog!
Well I just hope Okayu will still be loyal to Korone, not with Aqua, because OkaKoro is something canon and I just love seeing those two together 😁
In another stream, Okayu mentioned that she hangs out a lot with Korone offline. It's canon!
