IBV C60: My Off-Collab with Fuwa-chan! 1
10/24 edit: Please read this quick but important novel-related announcement if you haven’t!
Author: It’s really tough when you can’t get that live-streaming vibe, even though it’s a singing stream…
Maybe I should’ve gone for something with original-looking lyrics to make it more karaoke-ish…
I’m only showing bits and pieces of the lyrics to keep the songs from being too obvious. Thank you for understanding!
And yes, the songs exist.
TL: I’ve hyperlinked YT links to the karaoke songs used and two other references made in this chapter! I recommend giving them a listen while reading, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the songs, to enhance immersion a bit. There’s only so much you can do with a singing stream in written form, after all, haha.
Oh, the “listen to my song” is a Macross reference. Yes, Ikenai Borderline-Macross.
“Oha-fuwarin, everyoneeee.”
[Good morning, Lis-niis and Lis-nees! It’s me, Yuka Shirahime!]
Since today’s stream is from the morning, unlike our usual greetings, we’re kicking things off with a “good morning.”
Ohio!
oha-fuwa!
Ive been waiting for this moment!
It’s our fresh yuka-chan and fuwa-chaaaan!!
a stream with the two of them next to each other… fuhehe let this auntie join you too…
i feel all sorts of emotions gushing…
Yuru Kakizaki: Hmph, I’m not jealous at all…
mama yuwu…
Don’t cry
stay strong mama
“Everyone’s energetic so early in the morningggg.”
[Yeah! I’m full of energy, too!]
that aside, theres something I wanna ask you, yuka-chan
Me too, me too
me three!
me four!
me five!
Yuru Kakizaki: M-Me too…
[I know what you wanna ask…]
“It’s about Schwartz-san, righttt?”
Exactly!!!! That!!!! What’s the deal!!!!
is he really a V-blood relative?
How do you feel about the collab with your dad being decided?
Isn’t your dad’s voice just cool?
Youre all that I want, I just wanna pet you-nano
i feel like ive seen that way of talking somewhere…
probs just your imagination
youre seeing things-nano
im sure im not!!!
What’s this guy even saying
[W-Well, just to clear things up, that news is true! As for the collab with my dad… How should I put it, I haven’t really felt it sink in yet, kinda? So, for now, I don’t have any particular thoughts about it!]
“You’ve got quite a strong mentality, Yuka-channn. If it were me, I’d be freaking out for sureee.”
talk about a heart of steel…
people who wanted to get more tea from this are crying right now, lol
Normally, you’d freak out and probably decline the collab, right
Id be surprised too-nano
s’definitely a big no-no
hm? there it is again…
Some people talk like that now and then dude, chill
yeah! what he said. s’normal, tooootally normal
hmmmm…?
[Well, leaving that aside, for now…]
“Listennnn…”
Listen to my songggggggggg!!!
listen to my songggggg!!
“Listen to my songgggggggggg!!!”
[Listen to my songgggggggggg!!!]
“Old but golddd.”
[Old, but totally gold!]
yup, this is the only way to do it
is that supposed to be c*lbee’s k*ppa ebisen or smth
That’s an old commercial reference… How many years ago was that?
it’s delicious, so what does it matter!
“K*ppa ebisen is delicious, rightttt? It’s a classic snack that’s been around for a whileee.”
[You can never get enough of its crunchiness! Actually, hold on. We still haven’t sung a single song!!!]
oops
They even went along with it for a moment back there lol
“All right, I’ll take the leaddd. Oh, and to the people who sent marshmallows, thank youuu! We’ll eat them during the break laterrr.”
here it comes
Go, Fuwa-channnn
wonder what she’s gonna sing
Got it, marshmallows
Marshmallows, okay
Dedededededen!
“Mou, ima waaaa… De saaaaeeeeee♪”
Oh, I know this song!
you do?
It’s a song by a famous Vocaloid producer. It’s one of his lesser-known songs, so it’s a hidden gem!
it’s indeed a good song
Fuwa-chan sings pretty cool, doesn’t she?
Right? She has this soft image, but she can also be quite sharp
rather than cute, she has a voice that suits ballads
“Naaaaiiiiiitaaaaa~♪”
8888888
👏👏👏👏
That was amazingggg!!!!
what a sad song…
a tragic love song…
But the song itself is really great…
the chorus part seemed hard to sing, but she kept the rhythm perfectly. amazing
I love her crystal-clear singing style
“That was S*nset St*dio, an old song. It used to be included in a popular rhythm game back in the dayyy.”
[You sang so well, Fuwari-oneechan!]
“Ehehe…”
she’s grinning from ear to ear
She’s totally smitten, lololol
Fuwa-chan, let’s switch places plz
I wanna be there!
hey, wait. A guy getting between yuri is a target for assassination, you know?
It’s not yuri, so I’m safe
i don’t think that’s the issue here…
[I guess it’s my turn now!]
Yaaas!
wakuwaku tekuteku
hoo boy
Yuru Kakizaki: Earphones… earphones…
mama yuru’s seriously ready to listen, lol
Yuru Kakizaki: Yes, I made it in time!
yay
Mission accomplished
Ah~^~
my ears have been blessed^~
am meltinggg^~
Yuru Kakizaki: Fwah….
This is kinda unusual, I’d think you’d sing it the other way around…
But it’s cute, so all is well…
[Nadareteeekuuuuuuuuuuu ♪]
8888
👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bliss…
Yuru Kakizaki: I could sleep to this…
the way she sang it pre much recreated the original song
But, that’s good
The original was already leaning into the cuteness, so recreating it fits best
[To add to the reference made earlier, I sang Interstellar Fl*ght!]
“That was so cute, Yuka-channn.”
[Ehehe, thank you, Fuwari-oneechan!]
“Mmm~”
love that song fr
It’s just such a pure song, isn’t it
can you believe that song is over 20 years old?
???????
lul what are you talking about, i was only 10 back then… wait? Im in my 30s now……
stop it, those words hit me hard
Well, I’m… I just watched it because it’s a classic, I guess. I knew the song, though
I was in kindergarten at the time, so I guess I found out about it when I was in middle school…
Yuru Kakizaki: I was also really young back then.
mama yuru had a loli phase too… EUREKA!
Comment reported.
i haven’t even said anything yet?!
Holup, fuwa-chan looks like she finna die any moment wwwwww
real, look at those eyes lololol
Fuwa-chan, come back to lifeee XDDDD
“Huh?! Oh, silly me, I was deep into the tee-tee hole for a moment back thereeee.”
tis what it is
Everyone would react the same
Even I would
If it were me, I would have hugged her
arent yall too honest with yalls desires?
[You’re next, Fuwari-oneechan!]
“Okay, how about I sing this oneeeee?”
o?
Is this intro what I think it is??
“Ame agari no… Mooo… Redasuuu ♪”
This is an old song, but I really love it
a nice songggg!!!!
The extended notes sound so good to listen to
Idk this song, but its nice
when is this song from?
this is also from more than 10 years ago, right?
HUH?!
For real!?
I feel old…
What is this, some kind of internet club for the elderly or something?
She can even do the male parts
thats what Id call a solo duet lmao
shes pre good tho…
I was in elementary school when this song first came out, nano…
I think I was in high school… my memory s’getting fuzzy
i seriously feel like i’ve seen you two somewhere before
youre seeing things, nano
s’just your imagination, bro
hmmmmh…
“…Ni naru karaaa♪”
[Fuwari-oneechan, you’re so good!!! That was really cool!]
She’s really good, seriously
her vibrato is so pleasant to listen to
A good song with a good singer, of course it’s gonna be great
Clap clap!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
888888
Yuru Kakizaki: I’m frustrated that my music taste matches so well with Fuwari-san…
competing over music taste, lol
“Anddd, that was H*karu N*raaa.
Next up is Yuka-channnn!”
Shes on cloud nine lol
I get you wanna listen real close, but at least think about your position, we can’t see Yuka-chan now, lol
her position xDD
shes right in front pffffff
[U-Um, I’ll start with the next song, okay?]
go for it, yuka-chan
Kill us with your song!
“Oioioi, that’s it, I’m dead.”
What happened?
huh?
[O. HI. ME. SA. MA!]
a…a…
Oof!
ngh…
Yuka-chan’s non-stop attack is lethal today
Th-this is…
i shouldve seen this coming…
yuKa-chAaan… tee-tee….
WAAAAAARGH sooooOooo cutE
“Are you guys doing that on purpose?”
LMAO, what a coincidence
I just noticed
is this a miracle?
And almost at the same exact second, LOL
she’s just irresistibly cute
Shes even striking similar poses as she sings. Thats cheating…
yuka-chan can really sing close to the original, huh?
And man, how does she hit those high notes?
[…wa yo.]
“…”
fuwa-chan is down!!!
you monster!!!!
It may be life-threatening now, but she’ll get used to it
She’ll be dead before she gets used to it, though
“That was beyond incredible…”
[I’m glad you think so ♪]
she knows what she’s doing. yuka-chan is coming for our lives
Has everybody stocked up on extra lives?
anyone need a 1-up shroom?
“I do. I desperately need one…”
Then, after about two hours of non-stop singing, Yuka Shirahime and Fuwari Ukigumo decided to take a break to rest their throats and read some Marshmallow messages.
Our talented Himemura can do the sassy spoiled princess dance choreography with extreme proficiency. Vocal ability aside, even his dance prowess has him falling into the gender ambiguous zone that attracts audiences of all demographics. Shirahime is not just a rabbit hole, but an all encompassing black hole.
Thanks for the chapter!
I think I died too in the World is Mine song since it is my first Vocaloid song I’ve ever heard and my downfall to the voaloid rabbithole~
Thank you for the chapter! I want to listen too.
Thanks for the chapter and the links!
I wonder how many souls ascended during this stream and are those two who I think they are?
Two? Are you referring to the chat?
you have a sharp eye 👀👀
That last part is honestly very confusing to read lol
