“I feel like a ghost.” Many indie VTubers like myself often feel this way in this rapidly expanding sea of stars. However, everything changed yesterday night. It was around 11pm on the final day of #OffKaiGen4 and Mosomatsuri had just ended. I was about to log offline when suddenly I was given the chance to pop on again for some “laptop time” because the big TV monitor broke. I didn’t know if anyone was still around at the concert venue or if I was there for photos or talking or performing. In a flash, I was thrust in front of an audience again. After a long day of fiery cheering, wotagei and Naruto running, I decided to do what I always do to heal my tired soul after long days. Singing and guitar. I didn’t expect anybody to stay, much less form a crowd around my laptop on the floor. But just when things couldn’t get worse, they get worse ✨ The speaker breaks. The laptop falls down mid performance. I am now on the floor stuck inside my laptop with my tiny voice shouting out asking if anyone can hear me. In that moment I was so anxious and high on adrenaline. The noise cancellation was so high on the audience camera feed I couldn’t hear the crowd. The video itself was blurry and I could barely make out their faces. A ghostly feeling. All this just when I was about to sing GHOST by Hoshimachi Suisei. I nervously laughed and said it was quite poetic that I’m singing this song while being reduced to a tiny voice on a tiny screen. But looking back now on your fan video recordings, I can see your faces clearly now and I can’t help the tears streaming down my face. Despite it all, they still stayed. Clinging onto every word I sang and raising their arms and penlights. Sitting on the cold hard ground craning their necks in to hear me. Building an entire campfire out of orange penlights. The lyrics of GHOST shook me to my core so deeply and I’ve always resonated with feeling invisible. Feeling not enough for my fans who were too kind to me. Feeling like maybe I should disappear instead of chasing a fruitless stupid dream. But seeing how passionate, vibrant and infectious your joy is has filled my heart with an indescribable sense of love. Your tenderness and patience and trust in me has changed something in me. How could I forget, this is what it was about all along. To make create beautiful memories for someone. To make them smile and cry. To make them dream of hoping again. And in return, for me as well. Maybe its the fact I’ve been sleeping 3-4 hours this whole weekend. Maybe its because I’m still high on emotions. Maybe it’s because the trajectory of my life has been changed forever but whatever it’s cringeposting season so unfortunately you will witness cringemaxxing!!!! Thank you Galaxy Gang. I will never ever forget this night for the rest of my life. Thank you for finding this ghost✨💫
