Gushing:
Like the last one, this is just one of those clips where you better not be drinking something or you might end up with a wet monitor. Aki doesn’t hold much back in these streams anyway, but when she’s drunk, oh man, look out. Main event aside, something a little more subtle I think this clip shows off perfectly is her voice: Just listen to the way she drags out the syllables at the end of her sentences, her voice is always so wonderful but she really turns up the seduction factor here. The way she breathes on you to show you her “rose breath” is also very delicious.
Timestamp to make it so youtube doesn't interpret my TNs as “chapters”: 7:14
Translator’s notes:
0:07 This is a common (and relatively easy) Japanese tongue twister, which are called literally a ‘fast-mouth phrase’ in Japanese. Aki, however, says it very slowly.
0:12 Again, the Japanese for “tongue twister” has the word “fast” built in, resulting in Aki looking very silly and amusing responses from chat like “fast…?”, “fast (not fast),” “fast (slow),” etc.
1:29 Aki’s usual first-person pronoun and nickname is “Akirose,” but in this clip, she mostly uses “watashi,” a standard choice that leans slightly formal and slightly feminine.
5:24 “Doujin” refers to any self-published work, a category which ero works make up just a part of.
5:51 Comprehensive fact check: There is a comment that says PART of this, but as chat points out, she adds that 2nd line all on her own, unlike the previous line she read from chat this is HER line written from her point of view, and there’s a number of simple common grammatical constructions she could use at the end of the sentence such as “tte” that would indicate she was quoting someone else that she chose not to use.
6:44 The term for “gentleman” that she uses is often used sarcastically to mean “pervert,” and “to the last” and “demon” are homophones in this case, so these sentences could also be interpreted as “I’m sure you’ll be perverted, right? Since you’re demons and perverts.”
6:53 “Rosetai” is Aki’s name for her fans, with “Rose” from “Rosenthal” and “tai” meaning a company/unit/corps of troops in reference to the appearance of Rosetai as apples clad in knightly armor.
7:08 This comment uses similar military terminology (although not the exact same word) in reference to the military theme of the Rosetai.
