It says you're a faggot. But seriously I'd like to know too.

It says you're a faggot.

>>9077184
It says:
Sniff all that cat scent from this paper.
You're welcome

It's literally the Navy Seal copypasta

>>9077298
>>9077315
>It says you're a faggot.
Oh sweet!

>buying shit you can't read
Sausage, EOP-kun-chan-sama-dono...

Post this to /jp/ instead. 1 because someone there is much more likely to be able to translate it for you and 2 I think it would be funny.

>>9077507
Well I kind of did it for the mug and the wall tapestry, anon

>>9077184
She loves (you) anon congratz

>>9077538
I'll post it in the holo thread, not making a new thread for it there

>Posting what is clearly a secret and personal love letter

This is the problem with EOP

Ngl, this is bretty cool and I wish my oshi had some merch like this. I'm curious now.

Maybe post it in the Okayu Discord or somewhere that TLbros could be lurking in.

It's a letter addressed to you, where she basically says that she really appreciates that you watch her streams and sort of flirts with you and says that she wants you to be hers only and even calls you special and that she likes you.

Can't be fucked to translate line by line, but that's basically what it says.

>>9077184
I thought her handwriting would be cuter.

>>9077184
>I can read most of it
I'm gonna make it...
I would translate it line by line but I don't know some of the kanjis, but it's basically this >>9078464 It's really cute

>>9078464
Sweet, thanks anon!
Very cute

>>9078464
>>9078821
I'm surprised by how much I can read of it.
Hand-written Japanese always slaps my shit in, but Okayu also has really nice handwriting.

>>9080128
The handwriting is sloppy but still readable. I don't know how to describe it, other than the handwriting feels genuine, if that makes sense.

Anyway, cool stuff, OP, you should probably put it in plastic or something.

>>9077184
is it actually hand written or straight off the Xerox B215 Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer?

>>9081419
Purely printed, but I assume it's really her hand writing and drawings, which is real cute

>>9077184
>breaking my head trying to find some unknown kanji but it was okayu writing like shit
Jesas...

>>9083066
Now this is just very cute

>>9083066
Thanks for translating it anon

>>9083066
can confirm translation
it's also written like okayu speaks with the long vowels at the end of sentences

This reminds me, do you guys do handwriting reps? I haven't been doing any at all, I'm probably incapable of writing even the most basic sentences by hand.
Can't say I particularly want to do them either, sounds boring as fuck.

>>9083971
Waste of time unless you actually plan on living in Japan.

Realistically speaking, most if not all of the Japanese you'll ever have to write will be using a computer or a phone.

>>9083971
I can hardly write legible eigo

>>9083971
Sometimes I'll do handwriting for kanji I'm struggling to learn or tell apart from another one that's similar, to get myself to focus on the details

>>9083066
It feels wrong knowing this is just mass printed out

>>9077184
> 6 months
Man, I forgot I have bought some holo merchs.

>>9085273
Over 7, in fact

>>9084927
It's an idol business. All patrons are special.

Honestly, I can't really feel sorry for the schizo shit that these girls get when they do shit like this.
This is just blatant emotional manipulation.
I guess it probably isn't them doing it necessarily but their managers pushing for it, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I wonder if HoloEN would ever do something like this, or if the cultural barrier is just too different for it to be acceptable.

>>9085484
I'd prefer it if it was written to a general audience like the postcard I got when I ordered chuuba perfume, not "you are a little special/I like you very much"

post merch

>>9084927

>>9086456
>I guess it probably isn't them doing it necessarily but their managers pushing for it, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
They have near complete control over their merch. Their ideas can get rejected, yeah, but not not tactful ones and it's much more easy for them to deny ideas
>Honestly, I can't really feel sorry for the schizo shit that these girls get when they do shit like this
>implying you should want to protect them against schizo shit in the first place as if a girl can't be in love with thousands of names in chat
Anything is possible with the power of mental illness
Idols in nipland are a hotbed of menhera, as said by a literal idol, and Hololive is no different
This is why you'll never get it. You can't conceive of a woman forming a two-way bond. It is incompatible with the vast majority of your life experiences; you are oversocialized, you are unironically too sane

>>9077507
Some people buy figurines they never unpackage.

>>9093821
or cars they will never drive

>>9089400
>too sane
How do I raise my menhera insight and open some of the 1,000 eyes?

>>9095167
I mean, when Okayu joined back in 2019 there's no way they expected to earn more than a living wage at best from this. There's a reason hololive contracts were intended to be part-time. Growth before that for hololive wasn't especially impressive, and her channel was at less than 100K subs for 9 months even with all the cross-channel subbing. So she had to have been motivated by something other than money. It's not that out there to say a large part of the reason they joined up was for the parasocial aspect of it.

>>9084927
Thought the same. This is pure degeneration we're living in

>>9096895
Best post I've seen in /vt/ since its inception

>>9077184
you're welcome

>>9077184
Gfe shit, dont even bother to translate. that shit is cringe beyond believe

>>9096895
>parasocial aspect of it.
you mean their need to milk money from losers?
it's not like they didnt have experience doing it before joining hololive.

>>9093821
I don't have enough display cases I swear

>>9084423
Seriously, all the time spent wageslaving in front of a laptop has made my handwriting decline hard.

>>9099525
didn't okayu speedrun and play splatoon 2? Definitely loser audience but doubt it would be milked

>>9077184
Ask in /mogu/ thread, they translate her stuff all the time

>>9099413
Yah

>>9077184
Hi, it's me. I havent handwritten in a while.
Why did I write this letter to you? Do you know??
I know that you're always watching my streams!
I don't usually remember, so it's strange.
I only remember you! Amazing!
I'm looking forward to you coming to my streams.
Right now I hope this letter reaches you quickly and you can enjoy reading it.
Forgive me for thinking like this.
I'm an idol? I'm everyone's but you're a bit special.
So I'm thinking selfish things like be only mine. It's your fault.
My secret thought. I love you.


God that was cringe

It means what >>9100224 said.

>>9101060
arigachuu~ for transcript anon.

>>9099525
>milk money
I won't say they were doing it for practically nothing, but Okayu's superchats for her first eight months come out at a total of 63K. After YT and Cover cuts, that means that for 8 months she took home around 22K, working out to a salary of 2.7K a month before taxes. Which may sound sort of acceptable, but remember that Cover doesn't actually pay for shit so part of that is business expenses as well. After factoring in stream assets, audio hardware, PC hardware, etc - a generously low estimate of 5K - you're looking at 2k/month for a volatile "job" that's useless on a resume, and which you have no idea how long it will last for or how fast you'll be forgotten.
And remember, this is Japan. If you didn't find a good job as a young person during the season of 'shuushoku katsudou' (the job hunting period) you were basically fucked. Okayu's 'career' would have been seen as a ridiculously stupid risk that would have come to nothing if not for the confluence of factors that catapulted hololive to success.

>>9083066
Sup Y'all. It's your boi Okayu

>>9077184
Anyone familiar with Japanese hand writing? Is this considered a good or ugly handwriting?

>>9102293
You think Cover actually takes 50% of the post-YT profit? Either way, that's not including memberships.

>>9102759
It's good handwriting.

>>9103022
35% or 50% are thrown around, based on that Coco stream, but they mean the same thing, one is just using 100% as the baseline and the other is after factoring in Youtube's cut.
We have a good idea of how many members she had last December from the people who scraped member chats. Honestly the amount from members, while steady, is pretty low for JPs. Imagine being one of the top vtubers and only getting 4K as your 'salary'.
How many members do you think she really got during that first year? Honestly I can't see her having more than 300 members during that time period, which would work out to 525 USD a month. Making it somewhat more decent but still in fresh grad level pay.
Either way, it says something for the viability (or lack of) of the occupation if you need to be one of the top fifty or so in your field to earn almost the same amount as a junior software engineer in SV.

>>9084927
People have always liked comfortable fantasies that make them forgot about their miserable lives for a moment. This is just a modern softcore version of a courtesan treating you like she gives a shit about you before doing the same for her next client.

>>9103613
You at least could fuck courtesan. Here you just have a peace of paper to wipe your ass.

>>9105336
Uhh no you couldn't. Or at least not the good ones who would pretend to give a shit about you.

OP here, thanks for the translations.
For the rest of you, idk what all of this parasocial/idol posting is all about.
Letter just seems cute to me, and I don't really find it manipulative.
Then again, I bought it because I wanted the merch, not because I'm in love with Okayu or anything.
I don't really care about parasocial or idol shit, but I guess that's because I mostly just watch VShojo

>>9102459
ngl I used to think Asmon was a huge WoW faggot, but ever since he started play FF14 and gave his honest opinion about it I realized he was mostly lashing out at WoW being shit, like a girlfriend that used to be hot and sane but over the years became a bloated landwhale on hormone therapy that can't wipe its own shit and blames you for its skin condition and mouth sores.

>>9108033
It's a weird mixed bag. On one hand she is writing a letter to you but in her head she's writing it towards the fans in general, unless she knows you by name somehow. But the letter isn't some generic copypasta, at least I'm pretty sure it isn't. So it's like a unique letter to a group audience she might or might not have written with specific names in mind. Still great to have if she's your oshi though.

>>9100224
what a manipulative letter

>>9109482
That's remarkably specific, anon. I'm not asking you to share, just saying.

>>9077184

Its instructions how to build a Moguyacht.

>>9110325
I already know how to do that though

>>9078024
Isn't it the new standard? Like previously you would get a signed limited postcard on first come first serve basis, and now you get a letter or a short message as a bonus for purchasing full set?

>>9109791
That's normal for Ogayu tho, she isn't recognized as a heartbreaker for nothing.

>>9109597
This makes me curious about the rest of the holos, are there any more letters from them we could read?

>>9114068
Haachamas would be something like
>arigathanks fuckboi degenerate. You filthy pig for buying my pillow. Keep watching stream! <3

>>9077184
Handwritten? That has to be printed right. No way ogayu would painstakingly write that long for everyone that buys her merch

>>9114842
Yep, handwritten.
Looking closely at mine, you can see the scratch marks and ink splotches indicative of a quill and ink well as opposed to a typical ballpoint pen.
Truly she is dedicated

>>9114933
man if the anons here are translating it properly then maybe GFE is not so bad after all... and its from okayu. fuck

>>9115018
I hope my sarcasm about it being handwritten was clear.
It's printed

>>9115349
No it wasnt. you got me

>>9110483

an Okayu stream randomly started playing while i was reading this.

>>9114842

i find it hard to believe they actually make these themselves rather than just ask a random employee to make this.
this is great fanservice tho if these are genuine.

>>9115018

you may not think fatcat was good at GFE but it seems she is, against my expectations. either shes a good liar or shes really happy being in place where she gets marriage proposals daily despite presumably having little to no romance in her previous life.

>>9086758
Oh yeah, guess I could've done that.
First is this mug. Kinda cute.
The handle is a cat tail, and I like that the ceramic that would usually be white is actually tinted slightly purple

>>9115579
And then there's this big, fuck-off wall tapestry.
I knew this thing was gonna be big when I ordered it, but it really us fucking life-sized.
Think I'll hang it next to my bed so I can feel safe when I sleep, knowing mogu cat is watching over me

>>9105336
then i can use my high school diploma to wipe my ass? thanks for the tip, i appreciate it!

>>9115579
Imagine if OP dropped the mug by accident while taking the picture, I would of shit myself laughing

>>9119324
My dog is clearly in frame, and she would've cushioned the landing

>>9114842

It probably took 5 minutes to write and send to a printer. Its a nice inbetween area with something heartfelt that the fan will love but also actually possible to produce for everyone dropping cash on merch that you have to wait half a year for
