After New Year's, Okayu and Korone have been a lot more up-front about some of the differences between how they act on stream and off stream. Namely, that Okayu tends to be clingier off stream, as well as how stereotypically girly and cute Okayu tends to be. If you're a member, you see that side of Okayu during her member's only stuff, but probably not so much otherwise. Expand for TL Notes and more.

Around 00:21, I use the words "attention seeker" when translating かまってちゃん. This word is used often and I translate it in slightly different ways at times, but in general, the original meaning is more like someone who is kind of childish and keeps wanting attention. It's kind of hard to capture that childish part without being outright insulting in English (phrases like someone who is 'spoiled' or a 'baby' are pretty negative), and that aren't negative are more general. Similarly, the phrase "甘えん坊" (which gets used in the clip as well) is closer to a spoiled child, but I also thought that was too negative, so I used other phrases, like "liking to be doted on" and such.

Around 00:38, I use "annoying and clingy" for 面倒くさい. Basically, someone who is troublesome or bothersome. Within this context, I felt that Okayu meant it more like, she keeps trying to get Korone's attention and constantly wants to be with her to the point that she's like a clingy girlfriend. Because of that, I went with "clingy," and I feel like it captured the idea pretty well. The clips I included show her getting mad at Korone for watching Anime without her and getting mad that Korone doesn't invite her for food all the time are both pretty good examples of her being clingy, so I think it works really well here.

2:59, I translate zousui (雑炊) as "vegetable porridge." Normally I don't like translating food names, like takoyaki and whatnot, but I felt like zousui is kind of obscure, so it'd be easier to understand this clip if I used an English food name instead. If I didn't, I'd have to put a TL note mid-video anyway, so it's just easier to watch this way. It's important to understand why Korone is so baffled by Okayu wanting to come over for porridge, since most of us who have eaten it know that it's not that flavorful and something you usually just eat when you're sick or something. As a side note, no, the rice porridge that Okayu's name references has completely different spelling and pronunciation.

3:23, I just wanted to note I misheard this line A LOT. Okayu saying Uber Eats doesn't have veggie porridge is pretty funny.

3:29, so originally, this is Okayu saying "ちょっと舐めてる," which literally would translate into "you're kind of underestimating me." However, 舐める is a word that means both "to underestimate" and "to lick" in Japanese. So in order to keep the pun (since Korone makes a loud licking noise right after), I added the "not making a lick of sense" line. Unfortunately, it comes off a bit strong this way, but I wasn't sure how else to keep the joke without just explaining it. Nobody during the QC process thought of anything better, so lol.

Bonus content: As I mentioned at the start of this post, the new year's been showing a lot more of some of the behind the scenes for Okayu and Korone. Here's a bunch of things that may or may not have clips already:
- In addition to what is in this clip, elsewhere, Okayu's mentioned that she messages Korone A LOT over LINE. To the point where she messages her so much, that her chat history with her is practically a daily diary of hers. Also that when she messages Korone, it's a 9:1 ratio (Okayu sends 9x as many messages to Korone as Korone responds to her).
- During Korone's R-Type stream, she even talks about how Okayu has a generally "cool" image due to her voice and stuff, but she thinks Okayu is cuter than anyone else and is very girly.
- In a recent Sonic 2 stream, Korone mentioned that while Okayu might seem disinterested when she asks her for collabs, Okayu is usually very happy and receptive about collab talks.
- During the Mario Kart practice stream she had with Subaru, Okayu suggests that Subaru make flower decorations, to which Subaru responds by saying Okayu is seriously really girly.

In a lot of fan art, it's usually Korone aggressively trying to get Okayu's attention, so it's pretty funny to know that it's more of the other way around when the stream's off.

On-stream
Korone: clingy af
Okayu: chillin

Off-stream
Korone: chillin
Okayu: clingy af

perfectly balanced, as all things should be

Top 10 things science still can’t explain:
1. How Okayu is so cool, cute, and clingy at the same time

Okakoro gives me a reason to live. I will witness that ship set sail no matter what

I guess Okayu succeeded in being a mysterious character after all

As I suspected. The whole "jealous Korone" doesn't really track with her behavior, Korone just wants to be around Okayu, she doesn't mind if Okayu has fun with others. And Okayu seems to seek Korone's approval, as much as she likes to play it cool.

I love how there’s no tsundere shit needed for their dynamic, they can both just be mutually loving and annoying to each other when they wanna be, that’s the good shit man

tfw no clingy okayu gf

why even live bros

They both cling to each other and that's really why it's so wholesome

This makes sense with that fanous clip of Okayu coming out of her bed because she felt lonely.

I feel like this is another reason that it is perfect that Okayu is a Cat

Top 10 Anime Twists:
1: Okayu is actually the bottom...

Sometimes you just want to be with someone.
You don't need a reason.
But not having them there,
is lonesome.

rams crowbar sized syringe into body
This insulin is gettin' pretty expensive you demonic catdog couple!!!! That Christmas and New Years stream brought me to the brink of death. These two spending those two important days together just made me grin like a fool.

PS: i always knew Okayu was clingy since that sleepover stream where she didnt want to sleep because Koro-san kept streaming.

Half imagining like a ladybug/chat noir situation where in one form/online attention goes one way but offline/irl the other and it's awesome.

Thanks for the subs!

There has to be a limit to how perfect this cat can be.

We did it boys, they are now crazy to be with each other, this ship is practically more robust than the earth's core.

OkaKoro is the best
OkaKoro is the quintessence of relationships

Korone: I'm a very Franky person"

SUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR kawaii.

My cat gets clingy: Alright, get off. I have to work. I know you are lonely but I have to work so please don't bother me.

Okayu gets clingy: Ehhhhhh... I am trapped between a hard place and a barrel.
