HAMA House Meeting Space
Alright, as an expression of gratitude towards the local residents and customers who have helped ensure the survival of HAMA as a special tourism zone…
Let’s start the meeting and talk about ‘HAMA Tours Fan Thanks Festival Vol. 1’!
Wowie~, a fan meet! I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said those are my favorite two words in the whoooole world~.
This will be a special one-day live, so in addition to each group performing their respective unit songs from the first tour, all groups will come together to perform a new song at the end.
New song♪ New song♪
Will Nanaki be composing again?
Yeah. I heard the concept from the president, and I’ve already started working on it.
I want to…hear it, soon.
However if that’s the case, we’ll need to practice the new song in addition to our own.
It seems like practices will fill our days for a while.
Filled to the brim~?
Indeed. We must take heart and fill ourselves with determination.
I’m kinda busy though.
I was thinking of having Chihiro stream everyone’s lessons on DazLive.
Yep, Yeep! The hype squad captain’s gonna do a surprise livestream, so like, make sure you keep an eye out☆
Saku-ji got everything ready to go for Chii~!
*Chihiro puts on a dog headband*
And Chii’s ready to waise the woof♪
Hawah! Chii-sama’s like a puppy! My heart can’t take it!
Wait, is that…!?
Indeed. This is a transcendentally cute and soft-to-the-touch dog ear headband modeled after our HAMA Tours mascot.
So this is what you and the boss were whispering about yesterday.
Oh right, that dog exists.
Both this dog and shumai are the HAMA tours mascots.
If it’s a dog, then maybe he can be friends with Shumai!
Then he won’t be lonely.
Kafka, what’s his name?
Excellent question, Chief. To be exact, this little one’s name is…!
Yet to be decided♪
The hell you mean you haven’t decided!
Woah…what a beautiful bait into a double retort, detort for short.1
Then…why don’t we take this opportunity to give him a name? He’s the company mascot, after all.
Good point. Let’s all come up with a name for him.
Indeed, a name would help one feel more attachment. Tourists will also find it more recognizable.
Maybe we can have a survey where everyone can submit name ideas, and then announce them on the day of the concert!
Understood. I will assist in aggregating the votes.
Alright then, everyone. Let’s work hard together to get ready for the big day!
HAMA House Rooster Room
Alrighty, as the captain of the hype squad, Chii’s gotta think about a buncha stuff, like which group Chii’s gonna get up close and personal with for the livestream!
But first, let’s start with a teensy lil ego-search on SpiNet’s #ChiOnAir tag.
...…! This trending video is…
(A clip from Raitin’s withdrawal announcement in the dressing room…!)2
“Kitakata Raito’s withdrawal announcement was faked by Chihiro Natsuyaki.”
“An ex-conman’s malicious attempt at getting more views”...
Mmm, if I let every little thing get to me like this, I’d never be able to be an idol or a streamer.
(But…this is because of the backstage stream I did back then.)
I’m used to it, so it’d be fine if I was the only one getting flamed, but…
*Door opens*
Phew, that was a nice bath. You should hurry and take one too, Chihiro.
Ah, yeah…
Oh yeah, there was some commotion when I got out of the bath earlier.
When I went to the kitchen to grab a drink, I found Yowa-san rolling around on the ground with the Dr. Ghost Pepper: Hell Edition Ushio had stocked up on.
I hurried to give him some water, but he started saying he was addicted to it. I was thinking this could be good material for your stream…
……
(Even if it’s good material, I have to think about it more carefully than ever before I use it on stream.)
(So that someone else…my beloved HAMA Tours won’t get flamed again because of me—)
…Chihiro? Something wrong?
Hm? There’s nothing wrong?
Okie dokie, time for Chii to go wash a ton♪
The original references a childrens book series called Zukkoke Sanningumi (The Zukkoke Trio). Nagi mentions this since it was common in the series for two characters to react or call out (tsukkomi) the joke at the same time, as Ryui and Ushio did here.
Did my best here. The original line has Chihiro saying a shortened version of a very common gyaru slang that literally translates to "going to take a bath so i'm going to stop messaging now" and is used essentially as a BRB. However, the shortened version ふろりだ (furorida) sounds like Florida to Tao, since he doesn't know the slang, which is why he's wondering if Chihiro plans on going to America.
