Learn japanese

Or just watch Aki and Haato, they're basically half ENs

>>505383
Don't worry about it, there's tons of larpers on this board.

I understand Japanese.

>>505383
you're just supposed to go and type
>I don't understand what's happening but she cute

1. Watch karaoke.
2. Watch them play games and make funny noises.
3. Watch their English Practice streams.
4. Watch Coco or Haachama.
5. DO YOUR REPS.

>>505383
nigga half the time they just say "waaa sugoi" or "abuneeeeeeeee" or "yosh" so its easy to know what their saying.

>>505383
Leave it as BG noise when I work, though with video games I tend to watch for the reactions. I know enough weeb to understand some of the exclamations, but I'm not /jp/ enough to understand chatrooms and discussions. Case in point, Botan's FPS skills.

>>505462
Coco's english is better than her japanese.

>>505383
Watch them to do your Japanese reps. That's the right way when you don't understand Japanese.

>naruhodo
>sou sou sou
>yabai
and this is the other half

owowowow leaves scholars dumbfounded

>>505383
There is a sizeable amount of HoloJP content that is EOP friendly. Karaoke, Among us with fans, english learning streams. Also Korone is quite the westaboo, her streams are a mix of simple japanese and broken english. Coco and Haato are HoloEN0

>>505755
So? She still streams primarily in Japanese.

I tend to watch a clip, then try to watch the stream so I can hear the performers.

I am pretty bad with Japanese, but ID has a side effect of chatting a lot, so I'm learning some sentences at random like a gacha.

Like uh... Boku no Anon, desu. Manga cool.

>>505383
Started off with watching coco and the other girls streams on the regular while learning basic Japanese and even learning from streams. not hard desu.

massacre all chinks

>>505383
I watch their minecraft streams or horror streams. Don't need context to understand what's going on.

>>506280
Isn't it boring to watch Minecraft without context?

>>506400
I liked Sora's Ankimo building streams.
With her BGM and voice it was just a comfy experience.

I only watch Pikamee

>>505383
I exclusively watch streams as background noise while I do other things. Not like they're really gonna say anything of any real value anyway.

>>505383
I like the cute noises and can half understand what they say and context fills in the rest for the most part

>>505383
Theres usually atleast one live TL in chat for most holo girls. Other than that you can follow along decently enough just knowing normal weeb shit

>>505383
I understand a little japanese, so I can usually get some context. When I can't, most JPs I watch have live translators.

>>505383
>/v/faggot gamer
>can't into basic gamer JP
Why even live anon.
https://files.catbox.moe/1kche1.mp4

yea I just watch a ton of jp vtuber clips

>>505664
Sure they say dumb stuff like that, but they say real things too

>>506055
what the fuck does "horayo" and "koone" mean

>>505383
Why do monolinguals have this problem?
Just watch them. No one is going to burst into your house and quiz you if you understand everything 100%.

>>506919
not being able to understand everything that's being said activates my autism
i'm so paranoid about missing out on important information that i will turn on english subtitles on english movies

Watch a few pikamee streams, and you'll pick up several words or phrases.

>>505383
You don't just watch for the words. You have to FEEL the holos as well.

>>508376
I wish Coco would FEEL me if you know what I'm saying haha

>>505383
Download ytcfilter and hope there's a reliable translator in the chat. It's usually not much better than watching without a translator, honestly, but it's something.

>>505383
As the others have said, they usually just say basic JP gamer terms like "yabee" or "sugoi na" and other remarks. That's why girls like Noel who speaks Japanese more eloquently over simple remarks have relatively low EOP viewership. This works inversely with girls like Korone or Aqua, who use more relatively simple Japanese wording and alternative means of communication in their streams (like Aqua's autistic noises) to gain more EOP viewership.
That's my take on it.

>>505664
Legit this. And if they are saying words it’s usually just a reaction to what is happening in the game. The only exception are talking only streams which I just ignore.
If you are an EOP you can just wait for translation clips. If they say anything substantial, it’s almost certainly clipped.

If Cover ever works out that thing to live-translate it would be huge. Probably a ways off though and good luck getting it to work on streamers like Marine (talks super fast) or Korone (speaks with a heavy accent).
I don't know Japanese outside of a few words and phrases but there are still some channels I try to watch because I enjoy the character and hearing the girl talk. Or those rare times where they do try to speak English. If they're singing or playing a game that is easy to follow then even better.

Not an ID watcher, but how much do they speak english in their streams?

>>505462
Aki speaks english?

>>509880
Depends on who you're watching. I feel like Ollie and Anya use a lot of English. Haven't really caught much of the others.

>>509880
The gen 2 speak mostly English

>>509880
Moona usually flips depending on her chat, only time I've seen her full ID is in collab clips. I like watching her mentally torture the JP holos with english instead of practicing her japanese too

>>505383
Just learn Japanese dude, you've probably been a weeb for years, will be for years. Might as well learn the language to enjoy more things better.

>>506874
Koone is how she refers to herself, the r is silent

>>510124
It also still works even if you stop being a weeb, you can learn or entertain yourself with more normie stuff which only Japan has.

Most people here know enough to at least be a guesslator, what I want to know is how anyone watches the IDs when they are speaking in their mother tongue? It's a really fast language, impossible for anyone that isn't fluent.

There always live translators on the chat, with LiveTL You can read those on the video

>>510564
With Gen1 there is always EN translators

>>506874
>koone (korone shortened), horayo (a battlecry), chotto matte (wait a moment), yabai (this is bad / cursed), yabe (oh no), oayo (greeting shortened), kusa (lol), kuso (shit / damn), aato (arigato shortened, thank you)

This is the most basic stuff, for everything else do your reps.

>>506432
Sora's streams have motivated me to play Minecraft again for the first time in years, and to leave comfy easy-listening BGM channels running in the background. It's a healing experience, and I have the holos to thank for it.

You don't need to watch them at all if you can't speak Japanese. Support English vtubers.

>>514193
Western girls are fake and souless. Nip cakes are genuine otakus.

If you're at least N5 you can understand 98,9% of the streams, they're not talking about quantum physics here.

>>505383
All the EN are whores

>>505383

I'm learning Japanese so i use it as listening practice.
I don't understand people who aren't learning the language and watch hours of unsubbed stuff
like wtf how is that enjoyable for long periods of time?

>>514058
Another one that Korone uses, especially when she's annoyed
>fuzakenna (stop bullshitting me / you're fucking kidding me)

>>514451
>>515038
Bingo

>>507069
I have the same problem, though I am a German native. It also means that I cannot have a stream in the background, or 95% of the time I cannot listen to music.

>>505383
Do
Your
Reps

>>505383
I put them on while I'm doing something else, like playing a game or chores

If you wait a week then at least for some streams youtube will auto-generate CC and you can translate that. I think the streamer has to turn it on though because it doesn't work for all channels.
