Haooo!

Interview!

Today!

I'm getting interviewed!

Got an interview request from Altema's Moriyama!

Ask me anything!

I'm an interview pro (?) after all!

Ah, virtual interview! Yes

Because it's a virtual interview (?)!

Shameless virtual girl

Hime Tanaka

Interviewer

Do•ro Moriyama

Ah, hello

Extremely nervous

Hello...

Nice to meet you Nice to...

Nice to...

Nice to meet you. I'm Tanaka Hime

Nice to meet you

Thanks for having me

The pleasure is all mine

Yes

Sorry, I'm really nervous

※ What was that about being an interview pro again?

Oh, so am I

It's pretty bad

Thanks for having me~

Yes, gladly

Alright. First I'd like to thank you for... aree...

Aah, one second

I'd like to thank you for agreeing to take this interview

Thank you for inviting me!

The reason I wanted to interview you is that

I personally find you the most lively VTuber around these days

Am I lively?

Am I living it out?

I think you're living it out a lot Am I? Whoohoo! Weywey

Am I? Whoohoo! Weywey

Sorry

The thing is, I'm still pretty new to all of this,

so I'm not really aware that I go “wey wey” all the time,

but when I see my videos getting more and more...

more and more views,

and people writing losts

losts

of comments

What else

People replying to my tweets,

making fanart and so on, that makes me really happy

It's so fun and rewarding that I end up working on videos every day!

Thank you I don't really pay attention to it! I just have fun!

I don't really pay attention to it! I just have fun!

You're so humble

I'm really not

No, you are

Sorry, I'm laughing too much

This is a pretty specific question

What's your favorite vegetable?

My favorite vegetable? Lotus root!

Lotus root? I see I like that it's full of holes

I like that it's full of holes

Holes! I see

And your favorite snack?

Favorite snack? Meat buns!

Wait, that's not a snack

Well...

Ah, but they can be both a snack and a meal

Meat buns are amazing like that

Don't you agree?

Yes, I think I get what you mean

They're great, right?!

You can... You can...!

You can eat them any time of day and that's what makes them great, I think

Good point See?

See?

Got it. Thank you Thank you

Thank you

I'd like to ask some questions about your videos next

You've uploaded 12 videos so far including livestreams

Which of those would be your favorite?

I watch my own videos because I want to read the comments, of course

And personally I quite like my PUBG Let's Plays

They show how...

how I normally play the game, without any acting or anything

And then I see all those positive comments,

and I'm glad my gameplay is making people happy!

You said you wanted to play PUBG for a long time, right? Yes! I love it!

Yes! I love it!

My personal favorite would be...

your April's Fools video, the “Five members from now on!” one

Goranger!

That one was amazing

Goranger!

I love the expressions you make there, how you raise your eyebrows

That's awfully specific! Are you into eyebrows or something?

I like your eyebrows, yes

Yay!

Here they are

Wait, you can't see them, can you

By the way, I'm eating a lot of stuff that helps against bad breath lately

Yes

That's nice of you

Thank you

Thanks for liking Goranger. Thank you, thank you

Now, for the next question...

I'd like to ask about the niconico chokaigi

What you thought about it

First of all, congratulations on participating

Thank you~ Really~

Could you explain in a few words what the Virtual YouTuBAR is exactly?

People with problems can make a pilgri...

Not pilgrimage

Can visit me and ask me for help,

and then I give them advice

Advice?

I see

You try and help them out That's right!

That's right!

People have all kinds of problems, don't they? Be it about work or relationships

Yes

Is there any type you're particularly good at handling?

I think I'm good at...

cheering people up

All of them! (※ Unfounded confidence)

(※ Unfounded confidence)

So it doesn't matter what the problem is? No, it doesn't!

No, it doesn't!

I want to make them feel silly for worrying in the first place!

With this silliness of mine

I could actually give you advice right now

Go ahead, ask me something

Can I ask just one thing then?

Of course! Go ahead!

I gained weight lately

Aaah! Eating is nice, isn't it!

It is! White... White rice?

Yes, white rice!

I gained 20kg...

You ate 20 kilos of rice?

I guess it doesn't work like that

Now that I gained all that weight, though,

I can't seem to lose it again, so I was wondering...

You should start dancing bon-odori

Bon-odori?!

If you dance the bon-odori with all you have,

dancing as though you're trying to cheer up the whole world,

you might burn a lot of calories!

It's spring though, can I still do it? Of course! You can do it anytime!

Of course! You can do it anytime!

So the season doesn't matter?

The bon-odori is almighty!

Not sure though

I might just try that when I get home

Yes, good luck! Ah, you mean a dancing video, right?

“I tried dancing bon-odori”

Dance it by myself I'm looking forward to that!

I'm looking forward to that!

I'll be waiting for your video

Well, I wouldn't record it

Sorry

It's nothing

Continuing with the chokaigi...

I'd like to know how you experienced it

Right! My experience!

Let's see...

You know, when it was my turn to come on stage,

my stomach actually hurt! Aah!

I was so nervous! I didn't know what to do!

But then I saw people posting, you know...

“I'm going to see her!” and “I hope I get a ticket!”,

and that made me want to cheer them up so much

that they'd forget all their troubles

“Yaaay! I'm doing this!”

That's about how it went

Thanks

You also mentioned your stomach pain on Twitter, didn't you

It really did hurt

There were all those big names on the stage

Did you see it?

Yes, I did

So yes, there were all these famous VTubers, and then this...

silly pink-haired girl comes in and...

pops up among them

I think they've solved about 5 billion problems by now,

so I wanted to do what I could from my tiny little corner

I wanted to do my part in bringing smiles to people's faces!

I see

You have my support Thank you!

Thank you!

Next...

Is there any virtual YouTuber you'd like to collaborate with?

A virtual YouTuber I'd like to collaborate with...

Yes

(I want to smash watermelons with Siro and share a kotatsu with)

(Hinata and Nekomasu and Noracat and actually even laughing at)

(Luna-chan doing silly stuff from the back would already be nice but)

(I also want to do stand-up comedy with Azulim and talk about)

(Love Live! with Kizuna Ai-chan-senpai and have a Pokémon battle with)

(Tsukino Mito also I'm not that good at drawing but I'd like to play)

(Oekaki no Mori with Higuchi Kaede~ And then I want to squirm at Shizuka Rin's)

(ASMR and visit an onsen with Mirai Akari, that'd be awesome...)

(Wait, why am I only thinking of girls? Oh and I'd like to spend two hours with)

(Mochi Hiyoko talking about little girls, actually make that three)

All of them

Yes, all of them!

I'd like to...

I'd like to do a big sports event!

Ooh, that's original

I'd love to do that

We'd have a big event with, you know

We could do group gymnastics with me at the bottom of the pyramid

Make like this huge virtual pyramid

Or roll balls around or throw them in a net

Or a scavenger hunt! So much I'd like to do!

So yes, I'd love that

I want to do a virtual sports event!

That's original

Sounds fun, doesn't it?

You do seem to be pretty fit

Oh, I'm so fit, you wouldn't believe it

No, I have no idea

In a previous video you said that “Tanaka” has six mouths

Could you give us another interesting fact about your name?

Could I just make a correction?

Of course I noticed something afterwards

I noticed something afterwards

There's eight!

Eight In “Tanaka”

In “Tanaka”

Mouths

First you have one, two, three, four, five, six little ones, right?

In “Tanaka”

And then you have a big one around the 田 (Ta)

and a rectangle in 中 (naka)

Wow!

That's correct

What?

You knew?!

Why?

I was planning on pointing that out after you answered

Aaaah! I...

Sorry!

I ruined your plan!

That's fine

For your future videos...

I'd like to know if there's anything you'd like to do or try

Things I want to do? Hmm, I wonder...

Maybe I could, you know

find the lotus root with the most holes?

Cutting them up and counting how many holes they have

Please enjoy Tanaka passionately talking about lotus roots at 2× speed

Wait, am I saying something weird?

I'm trying to imagine it right now

Are you?

Maybe I could also make holes in the shape of characters

If you could find out why certain holes appear in certain places,

you could make stamps, how do you call it

Eraser stamps, lotus root stamps

Good point Wow... I think I'm on to something here!

Wow... I think I'm on to something here!

What was it again? I might be an MVP here!

MV...? This might just get me a pattent

This might just get me a pattent

This might just get me a pattent!

Pattent...?

I'm sorry to say this, but... Yes, yes

Yes, yes

I'm not really a fan of lotus root myself

Why...?

Why not?

I can't eat it...

Then I'll eat it instead

Maybe you could make a video to help people get over their dislike of lotus root

Alright. In that case...

I'll get into selective breeding

I guess that's what you'd end up doing, yes

I'd start doing selective breeding of lotus roots

until I'd get cute ones with holes that look like my silhouette

So that people will buy them and notice how tasty they are

That'd actually make it harder for me to eat them

Don't worry, I could grow all kinds of types

That's about all I wanted to ask

So... this will be the end of the interview...

Is that okay with you?

“Is that okay with you?”

Yes, that's fine for me

I was nervous

Oh, were you?

I was nervous too, but I got over it after some time

That's good to hear

Oh, I said “yay” again

Alright then!

Thank you!

Thank you

I had fun!

Tha- Thanks again

Let's make it another good year

That sounded like it's New Year

Alright, that was my interview!

I'll be honest...

I was so nervous!

And hey, I still wonder... Were my answers any good?

Because you know, I went

“ahahahaha” at every single question

Q. What would you say about ****?

A. Lol

Q. What's your ****?

A. Lol

What if I laughed way too much?

What if I ruined it?

Oh well
