Naked – Kanata Mini Talk: trending [characters]
1/3
those [marshmallows] have such an adorable [shape] to them, don’t they?
are they shaped like the [yuru-charas] that have been trending…?
i knew it~ i am so glad i got it [right]~♪
when i went [shopping] with kaoru, i spotted them at a [shop].
that was when kaoru told me that they are apparently trending right now.
and the [character] you are eating is the most popular one…♪
no, the one who likes these [characters] is midori.
he was collecting their [key chains], so i asked him what sort of [characters] they are.
he told me that they are [popular] among the [kids] these days…♪
2/3
midori loves [yuru-chara], so whenever i catch [sight] of them, i get a little curious.1 i sometimes also look them up.
but it is hard to remember all their [names].
so i always end up asking midori about them in the end.
mm? you will teach me the [trick] to remembering their names?
oh, so it is easier to remember if i associate each one with its [special characteristic].
i see, i will try it out. i will let you know if it [worked]…♪
yes. there are a lot of [yuru-chara] with similar-sounding [names], after all…
but you know, midori can name every single one of them if you ask him.
so anzu-san, if you are ever stuck because you cannot tell them apart, i think it is worth asking him for help…♪
3/3
whenever i [stream], all our [fans] tell me about the current [trends].
they even teach me all about the trendy [characters], for example.
so i have been [studying] up a lot thanks to that…♪
yes. i get to [study] and [communicate] with our [fans] at the same time.
next time, i will ask them to teach me about popular [food].
i am excited to find out what has been trending lately~♪
you too, anzu-san? what do you mean…?
ah, you mean that you watch [live streams] from different people to [learn] from them.
in that case, i will talk about all my [fish knowledge] the next time i [stream]~♪
