Serious talk, more or less takes the rest of the stream 2:06:45 - When you've become the very thing you vowed to destroy ============== Happy new year Hana! Thanks for all of the streams last year, I had a really good time! Here's to having this year be even better! 🎉 Thanks for willing to be vulnerable with us and open about how you've been feeling. That takes a lot of courage and it can be hard to find the right words. I will admit though, it does make we wish that I could give you a hug 🫂. Please don't ever invalidate your feelings just because something seems insignificant or it's something others have gone through. If anything, try to turn that into a way to reach out and get support from others that have had similar experiences. I hope that you'll find someone/some people that you can be fully open and honest to, and that they can share their own struggles in turn. If I may rant a bit, I've spent the last year working on myself a lot and talking with other people, and I've come to the conclusion that even if there's no noticeable dysfunction or disorder, most people would benefit from therapy, or at least a bit of coaching. Something to help with understanding yourself and your thought patterns, how you react to stuff, having accountability, etc. Probably one of the most pertinent in the modern day is the idea of using social media and video games to dull and ignore our negative emotions, instead of confronting them. Then again, maybe I've been watching too many Healthy Gamer videos . Also on the depression side, it's important to note that it can manifest in a number of ways, not just feeling down/anhedonia: dysthymia, lack of identity, ruminating on the past actions, inability to forgive yourself or others, feeling behind in life, protective hopelessness, limerence... to name a few. It's also worth noting that a lot of these could also come as a result of not adapting to ADHD as well. Making sure that you give yourself time to research these things and reflect on yourself should be part of your self care. Anyhow, here's some questions that I came up with, both for you and to a certain extent for future me/chat: - Did you learn more Korean? - Let's turn that 한국어 잘 못해요 into 한국어 잘 하시네요! Well, as long as it doesn't involve any Duolingo, I would highly recommend Talk to Me in Korean and Lingodeer. Seeing you try to learn more Korean always makes me happy, and also encourages me to learn more myself. 화이팅! - Did you learn anything new? - It could be anything, big or small. Maybe it's a new hobby you picked up, a new drink you've discovered, or something about yourself that you found out. Maybe you like something that you didn't before, or maybe you've rediscovered something you've lost. I've been trying to keep track of all of these things, as it really does help show how you've changed over the past year. - Any fun art projects? Anything you'd be interested in learning or improving, trying out for the first time? - It doesn't feel like I did too much in the past year, but when I look back on it, I've done way more than I've ever done before! Here's to hoping that you too can continue developing your skills! (Also I find it cute when you draw and wanna see you do it more). If there's anything, no matter how big or small, that you've always wanted to do, see if you can take the first step towards it this year (voice acting, singing, dancing, something else?). It can be as simple as letting yourself dream a bit, or just doing some research about how to get into these things and putting yourself closer to the associated communities. - What is your theme for the year? What did you do that fits the theme? - Okay, I'm not so sure about this one, but the claim is that this might work better than resolutions that don't have a clear start and end. The theme I had for 2025 was "transformation", and I'd say that I was moderately able to stick to that theme, however you want to interpret it.

Thank you for the stream Hana and Happy New Year 🎊

We had questions of Hana's song but not what they were listening. I think a good question would be what new songs, genre, bands did you listen to and did anything stand out?

🌈

Thankyou goodSteam and HAPPYNEWYEAR 配信お疲れ様です、新年明けましておめでとうございます。 配信感謝です

2:00:02 the sync

am not gud with thinkin question to ask, am cat person, I simply ask how's the mengs doing?

Thanks for the memory trip Hana, even if can't join streams lives as often as i could in the past years happy to still be here and drop by when I can. I can't think of any questions right beyond how would you describe you whole vtuber experience so far? Hope this year is great for you and thanks for still being around even after so many years of content and streams. ☕

Thanks for being with us, boss! It's so nice to know you, I love listening to you speak every time. I hope the new year is kind to you. ❤ Not sure if I can think of any good questions, but maybe one of the simpler ones will be interesting. - Any fun new upgrades to your gaming/streaming setup in 2026? - What were your favorite games this year? Either something that touched or impressed you, or just something that you were unable to put down. - Did you end up snapping more travel photos? Well, in any case, how about interesting photos of something closer to home? - Was there anything that you unexpectedly enjoyed this year? Maybe a new hobby, a new music band, a book, or a new food? - Was there something that you are especially proud of this year?

- 1:49:12 - I have been rewatching this stream and just want to comment about what Hana says about trying to make new friends. I've become fond of the amazing livers at Nijisanji, but she is definitely correct about the difficulties in forging new friendships or even maintaining existing ones, due to everyone often being busy. That makes the collaborations so much more special, particularly when the senpai (including Ms. Macchia herself) join their kouhai across several generations. Thank you, Hana, for all that you do. 🥲
