[Assistant] When they receive energy, which then travels through the circuit delivering power to whatever's connected to the PV cell. That means solar panels can deliver power directly to the grid. Between that and the abundance of sunlight, it seems like there shouldn't be an energy shortage problem at all. But as we've seen for the other energy sources,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All facts are in here. For starters, solar cells aren't all that efficient. The very best solar cells can convert 40% of the energy they absorb into electrical power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're expensive to produce because of the high quality of silicon needed in manufacturing, among other reasons. On average, industrial PV cells are about 17% efficient. Once you factor in the cost of making the cells and energy storage,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solar power ends up being anywhere between 3 and 6 times as expensive to produce as that from fossil fuels. Increasing solar panels' efficiency would bring this down dramatically. Another big challenge with solar power is that, like with the hydroelectric dam,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a way to store energy to control the production, in line with power demand. You won't generate much solar power on a cloudy day, whereas you might have a surplus on sunny days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can't store sunlight directly. Instead, engineers are working on ways to temporarily store that extra solar power. These include solutions like batteries or even pumping water up a column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can be deployed pretty much anywhere. Rather than having to transmit power across long distances, solar panels can simply be installed on smaller scales, close to areas of demand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which has to be processed to produce the high quality silicon needed for making PV cells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This itself is an energy-intensive process, which offsets some of the total energy production of solar panels across their lifetime of usage. Even worse!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Processing quartz can often produce toxic byproducts like tetrachloride, which can end up spilling into the environment and causing damage to soil. That all sounds a little bleak, but the most difficult challenges in engineering are often the most important ones. In fact, the National Academy of Engineering in the US has identified making solar energy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These increase the amount of energy given to the electrons in the material when light is absorbed instead of losing the energy as heat. That could drive the efficiency high enough to make it economically competitive with current power sources, and increase the adoption of solar worldwide. So there are lots of challenges ahead in bringing renewable energy sources to the forefront of electrical power production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the challenges faced in doing so and the areas engineers are working on to make their use more widespread. In our next episode, we'll see how engineers have moved beyond natural processes to invent entirely new ways of generating power. Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios, which also produces Eons, a series that journeys through the history of life on Earth. With paleontology and natural history,

[Assistant] I made you my breakfast this morning, so Vegemite on toast with orange juice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm John Green and this is Crash Course European History. Last time, we looked at how monarchs did and didn't incorporate the ideas of the Enlightenment into their domestic policies. Today, we'll look outward to how the 18th century European powers engaged with each other and also beyond Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continuing, I suppose, because it never really left town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So population was rising in 18th century Europe, and despite an extremely uneven distribution of wealth and lots of wartime casualties, many people were leading better lives. For example, inventories of French people's possessions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show that in 1700, women owned an average of two garments, generally in solid black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1800, that number was five garments of more varied, even bright colors. Now, this might seem like minor progress, but here's another way of thinking about it. The average number of garments owned by people in France rose by more in a hundred years than it had in the previous hundred thousand. By the way, does that dress look gold to you or blue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And do you even remember that meme? Probably not. Oh god, I'm so old. I grow old. I grow old. I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. That's an even older meme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any rate, we associate these and many other improving conditions in Europe with what is called modernity, an idea combining improvement and novelty that we'll examine more later in the series. But when it came to warfare, Europeans were still battling it out among themselves on the continent and on the seas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And always at great cost. The 18th century opened with wars of the Spanish, Polish, and Austrian successions, all of which were just what their names suggest, fights over who was going to become king or queen amidst a dispute over rulership.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disputes not unlike the one at the heart of the Hundred Years War, and so in that sense, progress had been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minimal. As far as wars between states, the dominant idea in foreign relations was still to grab as much territory as possible from foreign kingdoms, because only by making your kingdom bigger could you also make it richer. So for instance, as Austria fought with itself during its war of succession over whether a woman, Maria Theresa, should be allowed to ascend to the Habsburg throne,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It rolled right off the tongue of my mind, but man, saying it is a completely different matter. At any rate, Maria Theresa's rulership survived, but Habsburg control of Silesia did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of growing economic globalization, still other wars aimed at controlling trade routes and productive territory around the world. For that reason, sometimes a cluster of wars in the middle of the 18th century has been called a world war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the Great War for Empire. Like, it was a World War, but unfortunately we already have a World War I, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in a bit of a tight spot name-wise. But these wars did occur across truly global battlefields and oceans. They included wars between the British and local Native American peoples, sometimes called the First and Second Anglo-Indian Wars, and also the French and Indian War in North America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was also the Seven Years War, which was fought partly within Europe, but there were also battles between Britain and its rivals, most notably France and Spain, in the Caribbeans, the Philippines, and India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this complicated and many-tentacled set of wars, or arguably a single war in many different theaters, the French and British were ultimately fighting over who would be the dominant European force in the wider world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spain was a somewhat smaller player, mostly fighting to protect its holdings in the Caribbean and the Philippines. Native people around the world were enlisted in these struggles, and local people often changed sides as their interests shifted, and in the end, trusted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of the Europeans who pitted native people against each other and also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simultaneously, the Russians were waging war against the Ottomans in Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Caucasus. In Russia, like in other European kingdoms, the war's costs were passed on mostly to ordinary people who faced more efficient and demanding tax collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, central governments were disrupting local traditions and practices. For instance, local traditions related to the consumption of alcohol were disrupted in Russia by huge increases in taxes on alcohol. Did the center of the world just open? Is my favorite book The Bear and the Dragon in there? Ah, The Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy, an absolute classic. I've never actually read it, but inside my copy of The Bear and the Dragon is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in 18th century Russia, this huge tax on alcohol eventually funded 22% of the empire's total budget. And there were other disruptions as well, arguably more important ones, including the forced conversion of some free peasants into serfs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Local people fought back in a variety of ways. The first of the extensive uprisings against the efficient and enlightened taxation to pay for warfare was the Pugachev Rebellion. It was led by former Cossack and Russian army deserter Emil Pugachev. He managed to persuade rural Russians that he was, in fact,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter III, husband of Catherine II. Now, Peter had been assassinated years earlier, in 1762, within months of his accession to power, most likely at Catherine's command and possibly by her lover. So given that Russian history really was playing out like a soap opera,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tsar Redeemer, and as Peter the Third, Pukachev


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beards, which as you may recall Peter I had outlawed, and some three million Russians followed Pugachev until he was captured in 1774.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then gruesomely tortured and executed in January 1775. After that, Catherine again tightened the nobility's grip on serfs. Hard on the heels of Pugachev's uprising, the American Revolution erupted over a series of taxes that Britain imposed on its thirteen colonies in North America, again to pay the costs of imperial warfare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the British government felt that the expense it had incurred in defeating the French and Native Americans in the French and Indian War should be paid by the colonists who'd profited from that protection. But in America, we don't stand for that kind of reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were some other things going on. The royal government had also closed off westward expansion at the Allegheny Mountains, which in effect eradicated the property rights of people like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, who claimed land there. And King George agreed with his advisors that the Americans were rough and stupid and ineffective, especially as military people. So to keep the Americans under control, a standing army of British soldiers should be stationed on the North American continent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the British perspective, American colonists were taxed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That seemed like a pretty good deal. But from the perspective of the North American colonists, they did not have the rights of other Englishmen, including the right not to be taxed without representation. Colonists created a Declaration of Independence, which was issued in 1776.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who wanted independence harassed, beat up, murdered, and destroyed the property of the loyalists who responded in kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rebels were greatly aided by the Spanish and French, who sent decisive aid in the form of ships and military personnel. And besides, the British had other concerns, including preserving their far more lucrative sugar islands in the Caribbean


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as their holdings in India and in Canada. Although comparatively insignificant at the time, the newly independent colonies that became the United States established a representative form of government with a written constitution that featured many enlightenment principles. Now, it was hardly a true democracy, as only a minority had any legal say or rights, and the constitution itself enshrined slavery. But it also definitely wasn't a monarchy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, this little country would eventually grow big enough for us to make an entire crash course about it. Meanwhile, the defeated loyalists, including slaves who had been promised their freedom in return for fighting for the crown, fled to Canada and other parts of the world. And for the record, they rarely received the financial support that the British had promised them for their faithful assistance. Spain also saw uprisings against the reforms of the enlightened monarchs, though grievances had been piling up even before efficient and tax-heavy policies were put into place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Spain lost Manila in the Philippines to the British, and they lost Florida, which, you know, not exactly a tragedy. Sorry, I'm Floridian, I'm allowed to make that joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what, that's not fair. Florida is lovely. It really is the best place in the United States to run from your past mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight into new ones. But back to Spain. So across the occupied Spanish lands in the Western Hemisphere, local people were finding ways to express their discontent with colonial oppression. At times, violently protesting injustices by imperial officials or overbearing behavior by priests. Religious activists began claiming that the Spanish were false gods. And in the former Incan lands, several Incans actively opposed the Spanish government in a concerted uprising that began in 1742,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1780, another uprising battling Spanish rule broke out in the Andes. Inca Tupac Amaru led a powerful rebellion against Spanish authorities in an attempt to restore the former Incan empire and to liberate local people from the increased Spanish demands for labor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she ensured that the revolt soldiers were supplied with arms and food, and that they were paid, concerns that Tupac Amaru seemed to forget sometimes. Alongside Bastidas, who mostly directed military activity, entire units of women soldiers took to the battlefields in several parts of the empire, building on traditions of active resistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spanish soldiers noticed them for their intense commitment to victory in battle, calling them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, they cut her body to pieces with her head posted on a pike for all to see, which unfortunately is not the last time we're going to be talking about heads on pikes in Crash Course European history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her husband's execution and mutilation followed shortly thereafter. Thanks, Thought Bubble. Some 100,000 people died in the uprisings in the Spanish Empire. That is around 10% of the native population in all of Spain's South American holdings. The Spanish imperial government prevailed, whereas the British did not for a number of reasons. For one, the Spanish administration was less dispersed in its efforts and had seen how Britain suffered because it was fighting all around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Spain had begun the process of integrating creoles, people of Spanish descent born in the colonies, into the officer corps of the Spanish Imperial armies, and professional training and access to military schools and military privileges


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was essentially the opposite of Britain's treatment of North American Colonials. Britain saw its North American Colonials as, like, useless at fighting and hopeless as officers. And so the Spanish Empire in the Americas survived for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some saw a different outcome. Francisco de Miranda, a Creole official in the Spanish army, helped achieve the victory for the American revolutionaries at Yorktown, and he watched the Spanish dealings with the rebels in Peru, observing how astute and perfidious the Spanish agents had proved


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Miranda predicted the Anglo-American colony's independence was bound to be the infallible preliminary to our own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And indeed, people of South America had greater battles to come as they continued to fight for their freedom from Spain. So these 18th century wars had many long-term outcomes. First, as the Seven Years' War unwound and the Prussian army built itself up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frederick the Great saw a chance to cut up Poland-Lithuania, proposing to divide a good chunk of it among Austria, Russia, and Prussia itself. This was the first partition of Poland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So called because other partitions would follow. Meanwhile, while Britain lost what it thought of as a less lucrative part of its empire, it kept its domination of the Caribbean Sugar Islands and turned its attention to extracting the wealth of India. And finally, after providing the crucial aid that allowed the birth of the United States of America,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] France was in dire financial straits and badly in need of reform. As the French watched and supported the emergence of a nation without a monarch across the Atlantic, few of them could have imagined that a great revolution was coming just one episode away that would see the French monarchy beheaded, both literally and figuratively. Thanks for watching.

[Assistant] Your cook will be judged against the same dishes from the other team. So, if you cook the best mayonnaise, you get a point for your team. Cook the best fish, you get a point for your team, and so on. The team with the least amount of points, they go and do tomorrow's pressure test. Now, green team, there's six dishes and you guys have seven team members. You know how it goes? One of you will sit this challenge out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, huddle up and decide who is on which dish and green team who's gonna sit out. Choose wisely and remember, play to your strengths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasta, we've got Linda. And curry today, we have Jess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom and Theresa because they're the best dessert cooks in this competition. Hand down.

[Assistant] Who in the green team is sitting out? Dan. You'll be cheering on from the gantry, mate. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team with the lowest amount of points at the end of this challenge will be going into tomorrow's pressure test and somebody is going home. And believe you me, you don't want to be here. Alright, everyone clear?

[Assistant] Interesting. True sugar. No sugar. No sugar. Got it. Alright. Shall we test? Yep. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am making a creme brulee tart with a black sesame ice cream and a matcha sauce. If David's the best life right now between these two, it's the worst case scenario. I'm right between trees on my left, some are like a rock and a very, very, very hard place. Sugar, cream, milk. Hey Tommy, good job mate. It's like, I want to do really well for my team, but I'm head to head against these


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, dessert kings and queens. And I don't know what they're cooking, but they've got sugar in their blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got fish filth in my blood, but they've got sugar in their blood and it's scary.

[Assistant] To go under and be rare or over and be medium, neither of those are acceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm turning my stage every 30 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has to be a perfect medium rare. That's a lot of pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great cook, great Philippine. So congratulations, your team wins a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to give my team another point. What do you think? Connor, how's it? Good. I cut into my steak, and it is medium. And it's heartbreaking because I can't change anything about it. I've just got to get it on the plate. Steak cooks, you've only got 10 seconds! 10 seconds!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a crimson glaze for the custard, but... Ten minutes to go, end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Cremon glaze, for my custom tart, is just not speaking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to come up with plan B and right now I don't know what I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you reckon it would go well with a black and green eye cream? Yea, Alexis. Make your decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be that the green team are going into the pressure test tomorrow because of Michael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Danny's giving me instructions, and I'm, I'm awful idea don't know, but I'm thinking that there might not be enough time. The set's up in five minutes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna call it an ice cream tart. I've got another option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that I know of, but you know, I could be the first of something amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tommy, I've done a baked sesame ice cream tart in a matcha sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tarkt, okay got it. So, before we get any further, it's worth pointing out here. Green team, you've got two points. If you win, you're safe. Blue team, you've got two points. If you win, you guys are all safe as well. Purple team, you've only got one point. If you do not win, then you're going into the pressure test. But if you do win,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is really close. So give us a minute to have a little heated discussion, because there's a decision here for us between two dishes. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Tom and Therese came down to YouTube. Therese!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You needed to bring this one home for your team to avoid tomorrow's pressure test. And while the flavour of that cake was nice, it undercooked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ended the day on two points and you also are dead. Well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, sorry to say, Purple Team, you only ended up with one point. That means you're headed into tomorrow's pressure test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, go home. Get some rest. Have a cup of tea. And Therese?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to have a good, long, hard think about what you're gonna do in tomorrow's cook with that shiny pen. Alright? Good luck, we'll see you tomorrow. See you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's push you a little bit further out. Today, you'll be making my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But wait, there's more. Jock has created not one, but two dishes. They have strong similarities, yet distinct differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you play the pin, your dish will not be tasted and you'll be safe. Good luck. Your two and a half hours starts now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really important to get these measurements right because if I go too far it might become a little spicy and the balance of the curry paste isn't right. There are so many pages for this recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my tight shell, it looks beautiful and golden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the caramel was tasty enough. It wasn't as bitter or salty. The texture was pretty good. There were some good flavours. Were they as good as yours? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to my left, I've got Tommy, who hasn't cooked a dessert yet in the competition. And he's a bit of a dark horse. And then there's Therese, who's consistently able to produce great dessert after great dessert. And I'm pretty terrified of her. This is gonna be really tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the space of half an hour, our team has gone from having zero chance of winning this challenge to being right on the cusp of winning. And I just want to make sure I bring it home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way to hide with this dish. Everything needs to be perfect. And if something isn't perfect, it could jeopardize the point for our team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm really thinking, how do I take the tomato and basil and get the most out of these two ingredients?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we put them through faster. It's something we do together. It's something we enjoy together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today, I'll be really, really happy to make a Top 5 dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of this beautiful pappardelle with basil leaves coming through it. The roasted tomatoes and then some ricotta. I'm blowtorching the ricotta.

[Assistant] Hello young explorers, welcome to X-Radio. We all have our own unique set of fingerprints. Like humans, each zebra also has its own unique stripes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zebras live in herds. Within a herd, they stay together in smaller family groups. Families are made up of a male, several females, and their young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zebras are fond of fresh grass. To easily eat the grass, they use their front teeth. The front teeth are sharper and act as blades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different from the front teeth, the back teeth are duller and are used to crush and grind. Zebra's teeth wear down over time because of long time chewing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zebras also groom one another. If you see two zebras biting each other, don't worry. Actually, they are pulling loose hairs off each other's bodies. Grooming also feels good to a zebra. It's like having an itch scratched.

[Assistant] It can lead to a device that's too impractical, one that doesn't work, or one that stops working soon after you implant it. A great example of this was the first successfully implanted electronic pacemaker back in 1958. Pacemakers use electrical pulses to help the heart beat more regularly.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still need to consider device management and diagnostics from the day you deliver it to the second it's removed from the patient. Basically, you want to keep an eye on your device to make sure it's working correctly. This can be rudimentary, like having a patient come into the office to physically get their implant checked out.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is my head so full of things to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would sit behind her in this overstuffed chair. The low hum of the huge motor and the repetitive stitching sounds were comforting to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I sat behind her, watching her soul 50 years earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's never held a camera in her life before this. She was 93.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her dementia had gotten to the point where it was unsafe for her to be in my house. It has a lot of stairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who will be next to leave? I need to work really hard to nail this dish today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds awesome. Give me that at a pub with a, with a pint. It's a perfect afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theresa's gonna have to be mindful of balancing these flavors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In today's lesson, we're going to talk all about saying hello and goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A greeting is a friendly way of opening a conversation, or as a way of letting the other person know that we have seen them. There are many ways to say hello. Hi. Hello. Hi there. Hello there. Hey, how are you doing? Howdy, friend. What's up? How's it going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are meeting someone for the first time, you can say, Good to meet you. It's nice to meet you. I'm pleased to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These sentences are often used after the other person has been introduced to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here in the UK, people will often greet each other by talking about the weather. Hello, isn't it a lovely day? Hello, what about this terrible weather? Hello, did you hear the storm last night?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, was that too difficult for you to read? Hello, did you see me waving at you? Hello, do you not recognise me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Superman, are you truly prepared to confront Magog in light of what has gone before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did you come from? Answer me, dammit! Why are you here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've integrated another six score vigilantes. Given the Arkham and Blackgate survivors we've outfitted and renamed, we are now responsible for 8% of the superhero population.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never dreamed they'd return. Not in a million years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the meantime, we have nothing to fear from the League. Not even from Superman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah! Also, there's literally no fucking air in this room. I feel like, you know, the people who took care of my place did not open the windows for ten days straight. Oh my god. Oh. Wow. There's no air. Where the fuck is the air? Hmm. Ah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No cursing, excuse me? What? Why would I not be allowed to curse? Uh? Gradually getting smaller. Yeah, and it's hot as well. I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I arrived, it felt hotter than where I was in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my birthday yesterday, but I found out today. What do you mean you found out today? You mean- wait. Are you not talking about your real birthday? Are you talking about... your membership thing? I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Happy birthday! Muah! How do you? How do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's next level, forgetting your birthday but then remembering not on the actual day but the following day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm hungry already! Oh, you know what that means, here. What the fuck is there a fly inside of my plastic packaged, uh, cut fruits?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's like lowkey open on one side. Well, now I don't wanna eat this. Now, I should, should I? I should probably not eat this now. But I'm hungry! Eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it entered, you know, after I bought it or before. Uhm, how you doing in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smelled funny. It looked fine from the outside, but I guess I'm not eating that. That's, uhm, unfortunate. That's unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm too lazy for stuff like that. Also, I don't think I could get a refund.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, welcome everybody! Thank you for coming today! You guys missed me, didn't ya?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, you all wanted to meet me, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds kind of tsundere. Yes, yes, yes. I miss you so much. No, wait a little bit. Excuse me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought, you know, that should be enough, but I know, I know, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen some of you guys say, oh, okie wawa should stay longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In America to participate more in collabs and then there were people that were like, you are welcome back so like, so you can do solo streams again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now I'm home! Am I lagging? Oh, I'm lagging. You know, uhm, my setup is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the usual kind right now, because I feel like I'm missing a cable or two. Uhm, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I came back, I realized I was missing a cable. And now, of course, I'm missing the cable again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I flipped myself horizontally because it bothered me that I was flipped horizontally. Yes. You don't see my ribbon anyway, so whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my cats are trying to sabotage me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or at least Smoothie is trying to sabotage me cause she, she wants more time with me. She's so clingy right now. I'm here, I'm not leaving girl. Okay, this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was very short. So we don't count that time. So once upon a time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you do if you went to America for the first time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there was this one time where we were eating, we were eating dinner the first night, and I was like, uhm, just for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just for myself, I wanted a picture. Just for myself, obviously. Of all of us. And then... You know what happened? Everything but Callie basically hid under the table. So, I have a picture with Callie. Which I already had before!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I now just acquired a photo with Kelly. Apparently, that's the only group member that I have. Weird. I tried to take a picture of everyone, but well, maybe everyone else is a ghost and they just don't appear on photos. Such a weird thing. Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least Callie joins me in photos. Yeah. Callie's always ready for it. Okay, well I hope he doesn't mind. Taking some pictures for the memory. Uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I arrived in my apartment, the first thing I noticed, and I still smell it now in my office room, is that the whole apartment smells like used cat toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, mostly like pee- peed on cat's toilet. And it's not the toilet, but it looks-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, more or less clean. Like, I don't see any poop in it. But I wonder what they did!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you need a little bit of a technique when you clean a litter box. You need to understand the sand that's being used. And then, adjust appropriately. Like, I'm actually being honest, uh, serious at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, my cats don't pee anywhere, like, no, no, no, besides the toilet, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably not English. How would I say it? Those chunks! Those chunks of, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hard, uh, sad. They probably just poked into it, and then it fell apart, and then they didn't properly get rid of it. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a couple of friends take care of my cats while I was gone. Thankfully, yeah, my cats are still alive. On the sound of music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, thankfully at least they're alive, but I gotta throw away the whole sand afterwards. Something went wrong there. Mm. BRAH! BRAH! Speaking of BRAH!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm at Bails. Now this is kind of at the end of my story. And a brand new story one way. Kind of at the end of my story. I kind of want to start chronologically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yea, I guess I'm gonna, yea, say it. So, originally the plan was only to meet, uhm, the myth members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, spontaneously decided to, you know, say hi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, not on the same day. It was separate days. But uhm, I'm very happy that I got the opportunity to meet, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two more of Honolive English, because I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that wouldn't have happened, uh, I probably wouldn't have seen him, like, until a long, long, long, long, long time later. Especially Bae. Cause...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a great chance that normally would not come so easily. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fake real Australia. Yeah, I'm from Austria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Bei-chan mo ne, Australia kara.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told bales that I watched this whole long what like 30 minutes 40 minutes video on why Australia can't be inhabited more than it currently is being inhabited even though there's like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only being, uhm, 5% or so of the land being actually used was really interesting. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably gotta recommend it cause I watched it. I watched that too. Oh, there you go! And then I went on a little bit of a spree and watched like some other videos like why England has so many airports. Or no, why London has so many airports. Yeah, all kinds of videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think I can say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, because you know, it's my first trip, so I wanna give at least some details, and I think I can say this. Uh, I've been to Los Angeles. Angeles. Los Angeles. Mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! Woah, such a relatively cool city. What a way of saying something good about something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not how you say it. I know, I know, but every time I see those signs, I read Los Angeles. Los Angeles. Do you not even say it when you speak like, Spanish? You would say Los Angeles, no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does that even mean? What does Los Angeles even mean? Los Angeles!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No way, uh, no, alright, okay, so. The thing is, I didn't see much of Los Angeles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, I didn't see that much, even though I kinda wanna see a little bit more. But like, when I told my uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I told my friend that I was gonna go to Los Angeles, uh, she told me to not, under any circumstances, go outside alone. Especially not at night, but even, you know, not, even during the daytime. Yeah. Uh, uh-huh. I, I, you know, I booked


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I stayed with the girls and sometimes I stayed alone. But when I was staying somewhere alone, I was staying in a downtown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Downtown LA, when I booked a hotel, I was like, not sure, like which area would be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but downtown sounded like it, it would be like, I don't know, downtown sounds so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I thought that would be close to, you know, where some interesting things are. But apparently, downtown was not the best choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I haven't really like seen anything in particular. Okay, that's a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did see a lot of police, uh, and a lot of, uh, yes, people who don't have a home. They even walked into the hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, into the lobby and then the... the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hotel bodyguards, aka concierges, they kicked them out. They were like, no, no, no, not in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go outside and was like, oh dear, oopsie doodles. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on the days when I was not with, uhm, the Myth Girls, I was with a friend who has a car and drives like a maniac. So she kind of adds to the whole, uh, LA traffic. Very nicely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at least she drives. Therefore, she drove me everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, I didn't stay for any of my expo, you know, uhm. I think when I originally planned the trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I may have been aware of AX happening soon after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think I didn't want to stay because I think my stay was like 10 to 11 days. I think 11, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I was like, you know, that's already a lot of time where I can't do a normal content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, especially considering those days where I was recording. I was really busy. So partially, you know, just because I thought I shouldn't be away too long. Uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For normal, I wanted to do normal content. And originally the plan was just to go there for recording, not necessarily for an off-collab, but then everything came together like that, so, yeah. Uhm, but. No, no, no, not Cali, my friend, my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kelly didn't drive me anywhere. No, no, no. Uh, what was I gonna say? Oh, I forgot. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then, you know, afterwards, I kind of regretted, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not staying longer for AX because I thought, I guess at least experiencing it once would have been interesting? Such a huge convention that I've heard about so often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, Kiwawa with the orange hair and the feathers in her hair, in her ears stands out very much and I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it doesn't sound too safe to go there. Also, I didn't really have any friends to go. I obviously wouldn't be able to go with the Myth Girls because I just stand out too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I would put them in danger. If I had any other friends that I know, that I knew that would be going there beforehand, then maybe I would have thought about it if I had someone to go with, you know? Uhm, but you know, not really having anyone and not being able to go with the Myth Girls basically, just like, I-I-I wouldn't wanna go through that experience alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But maybe one day, one day I wanna check it out, either AX or any other, uh, American Beak convention, uh, I might wanna check it out one day. Maybe not this year, maybe another year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mm, mm, mm, mm. But I did see the convention hall from outside when I was driving by with a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I wasn't driving with someone else. My friend was driving. Uh, and I saw that big, big, big, big, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Hololive will have a booth at Anime Expo, so if you're going to AX, check out the booth. Billboard, a banner. Yeaah, it was a huge banner. So big. Hmm. Billboard, I guess, mmhm, mmhm, mmhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh, anyway, you guys already know the story of me at the airport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm not gonna tell that story again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, you know, some people, you guys, criticized me for saying anything in the first place. And I was like, yo, but I have to tell them. And you were like, no, no, but yes I have to tell them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe if I was American, then I could've been like, none of your business, dude. But as a foreigner entering, they have the right to not let me in. If I'm suspicious. If I say no, I don't want to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might- that- that is my choice, but it also gives me this suspicious look that, yea, they would want to question me more and more and more. Like, why is this lady not telling me everything the way it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they have the right to reject me from entering the country, which would have been very troublesome. So, uh, and they are, you know, authority, so I have to tell them. I have to! I looked it up! So, it is how it is, I have to tell them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, I think you guys were saying, uh, TSA, but it wasn't TSA, uh, what was it called? B, border, border something. Border, border control patrol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Border control patrol? Something like that. Border... Border something. Ah, CBP or so. Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. That's them. Mhm. Mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's check the, the uhm, the uhm, passport. Passaporte! Passaporta! Ahem!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I flew, uhm, unfortunately I didn't have a direct flight back, so I had to go for a fucking Chicago airport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I asked, I asked the girls, how is Chicago airport like? And they were like, oh, it's really big and it's nice. And I fucking regret it. Because I did have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had to go from like Terminal 1 to Terminal... wherever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so fucking far away, I had to leave. First of all, you know, I was following the signs that said, terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. And at some point, the terminal I was going to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, disappeared from the signs, even though I was just normally following them. First of all, that's confusing. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was weird, but he was like really sweet, he was like, uh, oh, my dear, my dear, it's all okay, calm down, so you gotta do this, okay? There's this, uh, airport transfer thingy that has a really fancy name, but it's really not that fancy, so you have to go out here, and then, and then you gotta go, uh, stay on this level, wubububu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to exit the, the, maybe he can't hear. Yea, but he's talking to me. And I wasn't even saying anything. He did, he did 90% of the talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the most obnoxious thing when you're doing transit and makes me think that this airport was not planned very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, you know, the biggest airports have like Dubai for example, they have like, uh, trains inside the airport that bring you from terminal to terminal really fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's, it has trains inside. Uh, I think, I think, uh, the one in Paris should have that too if I remember correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any kind of other, you know, transportation. Whatever. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have that. I had to leave once, which means I had to go through the whole security, uh, and passport check again! And that took some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, lined up at the passport and security control, uh, and in front of me, I saw this huge line! And I'm like, oh, fucking hellmate. Fucking hellmate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is, now this is, this is something that pisses me off so much when I travel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I run and I run and I run and I was already like my legs were fucking killing me. I don't know. I have really really really really stiff muscles right now in my calves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because, I guess, because of all the dancing and traveling, I don't know. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was on my way to get there in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, ne, kuko de ne, mechakucha issoide, ittara, giri-giri maniattara, naka...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, the rest of the flight was fine, and uhm, I think, no, it wasn't fine. It was not fucking fine. When I booked my flights, I, uh, I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did myself a favor and for the first time did- in my life, did not book economy. But I also didn't book business because I thought that's too expensive. It is too fucking expensive. So I booked a premium economy. Yeah. Uhm, which is at least a little bit of an upgrade. Still expensive though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, yeah, vote premium economy. Uh, and I cho- I remember very clearly choosing window seats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when they sent me the email for online check-in, both on my way going there and on my way going back, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't do online checking, it just didn't work somehow. So, what happened? I lost my window seats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way to America, I fixed it somehow because I had relatively enough time to go to the counter and be like, yo, uh, where's my window seat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the lady, uhm, tried her best getting me a window seat. In the end, she gave me a seat that was like blocked for some reason. Uh, but she said go there anyway. It might be broken, but uhm, I don't know why it's blocked, so just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead and use it if it's free and yeaah. So I did get a window seat that way but then on my way back I didn't get a window seat so I didn't sleep that well. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it was okay, uh, it was okay. Uh, my legs? What is it though when, like, you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every flight, no matter how long or how short, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until, from the bottom of my feet, up until right above the knees, I'm constantly in pain. What is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But why does that always happen to me when I fly? Is it the... Yea, I was wondering if compression socks would help. I wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must be something like that, because it only happens to me when I fly, and it doesn't matter if it's a short or a long flight. No, no, it doesn't matter if I sat for a long period, it starts immediately. The moment I sit in the airplane and it takes off, and it's at a certain, certain altitude, it already hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I've just sat for like half an hour or an hour. And even if I walk around a little bit and sit back down. Do you guys not have that? Does anyone else have that? Same problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, air pressure. So do the socks help with that? The compression socks? I wanted to buy them, but in both of my flights I didn't have time to check it out in the store. Altitude allergy. Is that a thing? Yes, but with my ears. Air pressure can make your joints hurt. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? That's so soon! Yay! Next week. I realized, oh my god, it's not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have, uh, I guess I'll, I'll announce it now, this thing. I'll show you. Uhm, I decided on the times. Cause Genma was like, girl, you need to decide the times. Quickly, please. I'm like, okay, sorry. Uh, okay. Now here it is, uh, ta-da!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The... Kiwawa on the left? Beautiful. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm not fighting anyone. Uhm, but yeaah. PST 9am, sorry it's early. It was really hard to choose a time. It was really hard because I want the Japanese fans and everybody, Korean fans, I wanted them to watch too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because this is not, uhm, like, produced by the company, but more like self-produced, uhm, I have the permission to go on longer than an hour. So, uh, it might be longer than an hour a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We recorded it with the plan of it being an hour, but then some parts, the MC parts, ended up being pretty long, and I thought, you know, cutting it would be kinda...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, tangents? No, no, not so much my fault. More uhm, you know, that's just how it goes. We had fun. We had fun. I had fun. Ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm so excited! I've seen some previews. Uhm, and it's been looking pretty, pretty, pretty damn good. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I'll say. I guess I'll say. Uhm, so I recorded everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my body movements and my singing and all that, obviously. Uhm, but, you know, for reasons, uh, several reasons,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the original plan of having the company put it together into a concert failed, so I couldn't think of anyone else to make it happen than Kana Ubu. So, Kana Ubu is putting it all together into a concert. Heheh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Kana Ufu is creating the whole stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nice, but uhm, see, I had to sacrifice something for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'll tell you this now because I think I originally told you that I wanna do it and now you might be wondering when you watch the concert where it is. So let me tell you, there will be no new song performed during the concert, no new original song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I originally planned it, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we asked Kanaubu, and obviously, like, that's too much of a workload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had to sacrifice my song. Uhm, I'm still aiming for it to be like out sometime at the end of July or so. But yeaah, currently I don't know. The song is like created, but uhm, I need more time. Yeaah, a bit unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I'll get it out there soon enough and we'll make a cool music video out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in 3D! Cause I want this one to be in 3D. Mmm. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a 3D debut, although there will be already a lot of showcasing of my 3D. Uhm... In relatively good quality, I think. But yeaah. It's not a 3D debut. Yeaah. It's something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, it's just a way to, you know, things are, ended up being chrono- chronologically. Uh, we will still do a 3D debut in Japan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, once we all are able to go to Japan, then we will do a proper 3D debut in the Hololive studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I didn't wanna use my 3D for so long. I wanted to wait until the 3D debut. But then it got delayed so often that my birthday came first. And I'm like, I'm not gonna miss out on another birthday that I wanna do in 3D. So, here we are. This is coming first. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then actually, uhm, on the previous day, uh, not exactly 24 hours before, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, let me see, wait a second. I wrote it down. I think it was... 28... wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the concert is on the 6th of July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at, let's just use eastern time, uh, 12pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the call-ins, including certain birthday merchandise announcements, will be made in the separate stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kind of a countdown, but it's not even a countdown because it's at 4pm my time, uh, 10am eastern time on the 5th of July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would have a hard time calling in, is what Jenma told me. So I was like, uh, you're right. So we're just gonna act?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if it's a countdown. It's a countdown tour!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Japanese time zone, because it starts at 11pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it will be a countdown in some time zone. Mmm. In Japanese time zone, I guess it would be a countdown. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you need them to call in? Well, I want them to, you know, if they wanna call in, I don't want them to be effing tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And forcing themselves to wake up at like, open their eyes at 4am. Even though some of them might still be awake, still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is exciting. I'll put this up on Twitter later. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell you some more stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did I stop, uhm, talk? What was the last thing I talked about? I wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys remember? What was the last thing I talked about in the last, uh, solo stream?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you guys the airport story, was that all I told you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I did tell you about Gura Ameina? Meeting them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3D setup. Ah! I did tell you about the 3D setup, hm. That it was a pain in the ass and that it was delayed and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I repeat, originally we had like three days that were planned for recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because the day before, the equipment was supposed to arrive, but then it was delayed and then something was missing. That's just a quick recap. So effectively, we only had one day of recording. Which was big suffering. Big, big suffering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, sooo, woke up in our kikariki's. Went to Amethyst's place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First thing, first thing, uh, I did is obviously give her the double hug. The big, big, big double hug. I charged at her, gave her a big hug. I was so happy! And then pyon pyon pyon, I jumped around and I gave her another hug. So happy to see Ame. I love her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like out of all of the, uhm, members, like we all, you know, had a good time, I think, but I feel like I bonded the most with, uhm, Ame. Yeah, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, ah, ah, ah, so, so, so, on the first day, so she gave us a tour of her place, and we met, we met her pets! Oh my god!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her, her doggos were obviously very, very, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may have heard that I was not the biggest fan of Boba.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I- I did give him some pets, but always very reluctantly? Reluctantly? Uhm, that's- yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, he didn't need me. I gave all the love to Henry, and I keep on forgetting the name of the other cat. But, yeah, the other cat, on the first day, I didn't see him once. Wellington, yeah. I didn't see him at all, he kept on hiding. Uhm, then on the second day, oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this, well, at least on the second day I met, uh, Wellington at some point. And uhm, you know, Wellington is like, when you move a little bit, he will run away and hide. Such a scaredy cat, such a chicken. Yeah, but, but, but, but, we were like, at some point we were like chilling in the living room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he just didn't, didn't get out for hours. And finally at some point...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She came out from behind the TV, and I'm like, oh shit, I'm it, I'm it, I'm it, look. And she's like, okay, be quiet, don't move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he came, uh, closer to us, he walked, he walked up to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So much! He kept on, like, I've never seen a cat headbutt that aggressively before, that fast. He would go like vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom against my hand. So fast! From one side to another, turn around, vroom! Like a car, like he's a race car. Yeaah, so cute!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was really silky. Really silky. So, so soft, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very soft. But, yeaah, then, then, after...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahhhh, poor baby. No need to be scared. Hmmmm. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahm. Oh yeaah, that was like, one time when Ina was like, mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, horizontally, laying on- on the sofa?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when Wellington was out, Amen was like, Oh, you need to put this blanket on top of yourself. And then, you know, pet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pat, pat, pat, pat your stomach or something. And then he will come and lay on top of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I heard that, I was like, I wish I was Ina right now. I wish. So she tries it, and he's like, on his way to sit on Ina. He was about to like, climb on top of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish that was me, man. I would've stayed as still as a log.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that I could acquire the cat laying on top of me. Cause my cats don't do that. And I wish my cats would do that. I would want them to lay on top of me all day. Even though then you can't really move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I would do that though. Yeaah. Song!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, oh yeaah, we, we, we did record, I don't know if I said, but we, we did record one thing on the first day with the low-key scuffed, uhm, equipment that we had, that we used for the arm wrestling stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but that one thing, now you, if you see it, you may understand why it's so scuffed. A little, a little bit scuffed. Just a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I had that scheduled, I had this recording scheduled thinking that the setup would be done. And I couldn't move it because the- the person who would join me in the MC had, uh, a tight schedule. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we recorded that, and I was like, shit, we have to record it, but we don't have anything set up. And then Aimee quickly, uh, got me into the suit in like 13 minutes, everything set up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, they- in 30 minutes, they got me into the suit, took my measurements,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, Ina was taking the measurements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ena took my measurements, yeaah, with the, with the ruler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went around my wrist and my calves and all that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I thought she would take free sizes, but it didn't even need free sizes, so she doesn't have my free size, yeaah. Just some other weird measurements like my shoulder length, width, and my arm length and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, we tried really really really quickly to get everything done quickly. Mmm. As fast as possible. And then we did the call. Thankfully uhm, thankfully we made it somewhat in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And made it safely. I fought up a few games to doing the emcees. Uhm, one of them I completely made up in my brain and I'm proud of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, uh, you will see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and we recorded that, and oh yeaah, my- because I was waiting so long for the equipment to arrive, I was like, on the side, I was like practicing my songs that I wasn't too, too confident in yet, choreography wise, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was freaking hot, so by the time I needed to get into the suit, my t-shirt was already so drenched. So I borrowed one of Ahn-me's t-shirts. I borrowed one of her t-shirts and then I got into her suit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then, uhm, uh, later, later we brainstormed some ideas for off-collabs. Uh, I did that tweet asking you guys, and you guys gave us some good ideas. Uhm, I feel like basically, pretty sure this is correct, all of the collab, collab ideas that we did came from, uh, my- hello, lag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There she goes. There she goes. She's gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's because I'm doing it differently than usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, amazing. We have an updated version then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Inyan, you need to meet my cats. Holy shit though, smoothie is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Losing insane amounts of hair right now. Oh my god, it's summertime. It's summertime. She said meow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a new nickname for you, Inya, but I'm not ready to use it yet because I'm still very much into calling you Inya. I figured. I have a new name for you. It's Nina!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Ninomae, the N, plus Ina, is Nina! It's such a pretty cute name, isn't it? Nina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually in- in German language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very common name. Hmm. Nina. Nina. Yea, but currently I'm still very much into Inya. So. Not- I'm not gonna use it yet. Nina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so back to my stories. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. She was? Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, like basically, the ideas for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much all of the collabs came from my Twitter replies and me. Like the pop tart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, Super Smash Brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be fun. And then what else did we do? Wait, what did we do on the previous day? What did we do before Smash?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We wanted to do another one, I guess, the arm wrestling thing. We wanted to do it already earlier. Buuuut, we didn't have time, because then we were recording all day. But thankfully, at least by doing it later, we were able to do it with all the girls together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changing the suits in between, you know, it takes a lot of like calibration and shit. Uhm, and it takes some time, so it was kinda scuffed, but at least we got it done, it was fun. I'm glad we did it, cause that was our very original idea. Uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, sure. That was very funny, uhm. But I have to say, I watched back a little bit on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the part where I was like, you know, dancing a little bit, it's not very accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like dancing way more intensely, like really popping out my chest and all that. So, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes it 80% less movement somehow. I feel like nerfing it a lot, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That part on top of my skirt above looks like a butt crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so we brainstormed, but we didn't stream on that day. So then, uhm, Tuesday... Wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We always stayed, like, super long at Ame's place, super, super, super long, and got, got, uh, to our, uh, our place very, very late. Like, originally, I could've, like, stayed with, uhm, Ame, but then, you know, when Ina and Gura decided to join, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like, okay, maybe that's a little bit too many people to stay, so we should get our own place. So we did get our own place for the time being, uh, me, Gura, and Ina stayed in an Airbnb for a few days. Mm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All, all, all together, uh, all myth members. So, yeah, that's why I did the solo stream there. Hmm. Ahem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause like, some of the girls wanted to do their own thing. For a few days, which is totally fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. Okay, so let me see, uh, first...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I tell you that, like, me and Ina went on this whole, I think I did, scavenger hunt of finding some cables that were missing? Uh, that was a long, long, long trip of finding the right things and the right amount, cause we needed so many. I didn't tell you? That was so stressful, like, cause when the, uh, I think it was like, one day we waited?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one day we waited the whole day for the equipment and didn't come, and then the second day, uh, eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, yeah, the second day we waited another like almost a whole day, but then it arrived and we thought we could use it, but then something was missing when we were setting it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was already late, so we couldn't get anything, so what we did was, on the third day, I felt I was so worried that it wouldn't work out. On the third day, which was the last day I could possibly record something, we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Ina first, before we set out to Aman's place, we went out to get all these things that were missing, hoping that they would work!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then they tried, like, taping my fingers, uh, and- and toes, and then put balls on there too. Yeah, they won't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but they were very gentle, and very efficient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, I've been wanting to make like pancakes for lunch. I told you this that I regretted not getting the pancakes because like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were so busy setting everything up and did not have time to take a break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That lunch turned into dinner, and then it was so fucking late that, you know, we were like, maybe we should eat something proper. Yeaah, so no ame pancakes! Kind of sad, mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to get this done, but she's so apologetic, she keeps on apologizing for, for, you know, I'm, I know you're touching me for the reason of putting balls on me! I know! Touch, sorry, touch, sorry, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. Uuuh. Ehem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uh, uh, oh yeaah, so uhm, the day when we set everything up, it was mostly like Ame and Ina, uh, big braining the whole thing, putting it all together, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and I did- I brought everyone souvenirs, by the way. I brought everyone, uh, Austrian Mozart Balls chocolate. And, uh, they really really really liked it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a really famous souvenir from Austria, so I got them those balls, and they all liked it, yeaah. I got the ones that are in the really fancy violin packaging, and I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I'm Danzies with the Funzies. I'm Danny with the Funny. It was Danny with the Funny, right? Why am I making it into Danzies with the Funzies? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, on, on, uh, on Thursday, uh, Ina wasn't there, so uhm, we thought, oh dear, we have to do it only with Ame and Kura and me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But! Then, Fauna joined, as you know. And I didn't talk too much about meeting Fauna, but here you go. I will talk about it now. Let me pour some water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the whole Fana thing was, I think, pretty spontaneous. Like, I didn't even know she was, like, actually gonna come until we met up on that day. And was very, yeah? Oh my god, smoothie's on the floor and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know that she was gonna be there, so I didn't do my makeup and then when I saw her I was like SHIT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, embarrassing. At least, like, if you have, like, some complex-complex-complexes. I'm not so confident in my face. So, yeaah, I was embarrassed. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she was very sweet. She was, uhm, she was very, uhm, how to say? She was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had her makeup on and she was dressed cutely, she did her hair cutely. I was, I was kind of uhm, fascinated because the way she did her hair was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and uh, mohawk, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was one thing that I was absolutely shocked about, but later on realized it might be more or less normal for Americans. So, I need an explanation from you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you guys have like dollar bills, even for the one dollars, right? That's, that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because for money exchanging purposes, uh, they usually don't take coins, they only take, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the, the paper money. So that is actually useful that you have one dollar bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you can change it even when it's pretty small. But anyway, that's not the thing I wanna say. So... But you guys still do have coins. And when I looked at them, I was like... Like, for example, at a cashier? At a cashier? I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, wanted to give him like, a more or less exact, uh, payment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When do I do with these coins? Like, what even is a quarter? What does it look like? And I was getting stressed out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, why don't they know the coins? Is this normal? Maybe because you guys even have dollar bills up to one dollar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I guess, then you barely use coins? But don't you sometimes have to use your coins sometimes? And then-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at cash years, I wanted to give them my coin so I wouldn't have too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I would leave America, so sometimes I would like open my wallet and I would be like, sorry, I'm not from here. Could you help me like find, uh, like the right coins? Just take, take whatever you need to get this to the exact amount or whatever. And they,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what the problem was. Maybe they were hesitating because they were confused? But like, they wouldn't really help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they would just like silently like stare at the coins and do nothing. I'm-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or who- who did I ask? But I asked other people too to, like, help me with the coins and they- they couldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, I was trying to pay with coins, and you know, I've only been in America!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During that time, I've never been to Canada before, yet! When I pulled out all these coins, one of- The cashier was like, one of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I've only been to America, that means someone else!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some other cashier must have given me a Canadian coin then. Huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then at some point, uh, uh, I had this really embarrassing moment just right after meeting Fauna. You know, I wanted to look cool and leave a good impression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I go through my bag and my wallet and I just can't find it. And I start panicking because they were already, you know, past using the, the ticket. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I went to the ticket counter thingy, but that one only took a card, and I tried my Austrian card, but my fucking Austrian card, I'm so mad because it sometimes worked in America, and sometimes it didn't work, and this was a case where it didn't work, and like, Guda and Vanna were like watching me from afar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I get the ticket and I finally get through, and I'm like, shit, this is so embarrassing. I wonder what Fauna is thinking about me now, like, oh damn, this girl is not cool at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mm, in dollar bills, not coins. Because no one understands coins. Oh, smoothie's still there even though I'm so loud. Why are you still right behind me, baby?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't really look like they were enjoying it, just like they were really confused about what was happening. Well, yes actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that day, it worked later, because that was the day where I actually recorded all of the songs, and Fana and Gura were watching, uhm, is this the right word? Intently?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were watching and a little bit helping. There was not so much help necessary because mostly things worked out on that day. Uh, but they were watching me suffer and dance and suffer and dance. Every time after a song, I would be like totally overheated and exhausted because it was really difficult to dance there, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, it was really hot in the suit and all that. The room was hot. And then the floor, uh, was not made for dancing. I told you this before, I think. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a, it was a carpet. A fluffy carpet. And I tried, you know, several things, like I tried dancing, like Aimee had this huge piece of cardboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that didn't quite work so well because I would dance like so, so aggressively that while I was dancing, the cardboard was moving under my feet and like kept on moving away from me, away from the center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but I still had to use it because for some dances where I had to turn around, it was literally impossible to dance properly on the carpet and it started making my feet hurt at some point. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was dancing so much with it that at some point I made holes into the cardboard. Yeah, so I couldn't use it anymore at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, we also tried like this big, big, big piece of like plastic ground thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that ended up like kind of interfering with the capturing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because of like reflection and shit. Even though it didn't even look reflective, you never know. Like, wow, we had to take care of so many things. Like, even, even water bottles were not allowed to be, like, in the view of, you know, the cameras. It was really, really, really complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single thing, like, we had to look, like, sometimes when something wouldn't work, we were like, oh, what is it this time? What's, what is in the room that causes this problem? Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so I had to give up on that plastic thing too, even though that was really good to dance on. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, mostly I was dancing on fluffy carpet, so the turns didn't turn out so nice, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fana and Gura, they looked very fascinated when they saw me dancing like that. I think Fana also said she wants to take dance lessons or something, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, and Gura kept on, like, praising me for working so hard. Like, when we got closer to the end, they were cheering me on like, one more song, two more songs, come on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do it! Bona was inspired by me, yeaah. Apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, even though, you know, I have some, like, quite some experience with it, uhm, but even for me, it's tough to, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't have quite the stamina anymore than I used to have, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I, I, I had some...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Problems breathing, and uh, was very exhausting, but also the environment of where I was dancing wasn't the best, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like putting so much, so much, mmmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was the right word? Tens- TENS-ness? Into my legs? So much-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strength into my legs? Because of where I was dancing? Like trying to... Trying to stay... I don't know how to explain it. So much tension. Tension, yeah, yeah, yeah. In order to...

[Assistant] Mmmmm, have a somewhat clean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhat clean dance moves. Better grip and all that, yeah? Yeah, yeah, to make up for the lack of grip I had on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I put so much tension into my- my calves. That's why they're so fucking dead now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're so, so like, stone hard. Now, yeah. That was tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you guys to know that when you watch the concert and it looks so amazing you'll be like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but, uh, Gura and Fauna giving me mental support on that day was really nice, yeaah. Thankfully, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I have also this thing where like, when I practice the songs, I wouldn't make mistakes, but once I was recording them, like hon-honban? Hmm, like the actual recording, I would make mistakes, cause I was like, probably again, putting too much, too much tension into my body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the pressure, the time pressure too, would make me fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want, I also originally I wanted to do like more retakes because we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We definitely, even though we got it to work, we still had some, some scuffness here and there. So I wanted to take re-takes for every song, but I ended up, like, not being able to take re-takes properly. Nah, there's no time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, the suit and me, we were very sweaty by the end of the day. Even the gloves were like, kinda moist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, eh, Gura wanted to try it on quickly at the end of the day. So I was like, Gura, Gura, are you sure? Like, it's really stinky now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, she wanted to try it on, so she tried it on, she did some stuff with it. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and also one more thing I did is I took some countdown videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, just some short, really short countdown videos that I will upload, uh, when the days come closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really short ones, nothing too long. For Twitter and I think I'll upload it on YouTube too probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I recorded like two more like, meme videos. For later, to upload them later. Uhm... What else was I gonna say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uhm, uhm, on that day, I had some super yummy yakisoba, and I want to say, like, I expected, because everybody talks about it, I expected,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then only other food too? It really depends?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For whatever reason, she stayed with me, uhm, and, uh, on the following day, before we met up with the, uh, Myth Girls, again, uhm, I was like, okay, I'm a, what are we gonna eat for lunch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were looking around like what to go for what I haven't had yet and kind of wanted to eat and We went to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? It's Chipotle. I kept on correcting me. I always said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did I always say? I think I always said Chipotle. Chipotle. Or Chipotle. Chipotle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went there, and I know, uhm, Ami said this too, it's not the most-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wanted to go because I've heard this name so often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I don't know, I just wanted some food. Some food. Whatever it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I got a burrito, and I was so, again, I was overwhelmed, I was like standing at the counter, Alma already got her stuff so she went like already away to sit down, and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I put, I put in those, those brownish beans, not the black ones, the brownish beans, and chicken, and some salad, and the sour cream, and something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think I put something else in there. Cheese, yeaah, put cheese in. Uh, pinto beans, I guess it was pinto beans. Um, um, um, um, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But okay, now this burrito I have to say was pretty big. I'll give you that. But I ate quite a lot of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then I wanted to eat more later, so I didn't eat it all at once, but yeah. Ame was impressed that I ate so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I'm normally a small eater, I don't- and I like to eat like, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot. Doing some movements that the lady would do. And uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the one that hurt the most. Yeaah, she went so fucking deep and I was like, I was about, like, I wanted to say, uhm, can you move on? Or like, can you be, do it a little bit lighter? But, I always like, when, when I'm, uhm, being massaged, I get a lot of massages. Most of the time, I'm too... Intimidated? Or... Nervous? Too...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say something, like I wanna say, yo, can you go stronger or can you go weaker?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta speak up for yourself. That's what I always think, because... It costs money, so I should say something. But it always takes me so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Courage, but also because like when I say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually ask if they don't. In Japan they always do, but then in other countries they often don't. But when I would say something, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, do it weaker here, just that spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I usually tell them up in the beginning that uhm, they need to do it stronger around my shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only my shoulders, specifically. But then they forget, and they just do whatever, and it's annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't wanna keep on reminding them. Oh shit. Okay, good.
