Nakada Hiroki Nakacha no Ma #55 @ Hiroki's GAME Parlor 2024.6.18 Notes [Eng translation]
[Due to NicoNama's services being suspended for the time being, this month's Nakacha was streamed on his gaming channel over at OpenRec instead!]
His voice is still raspy (from all the screaming and laughing as Majima I'm assuming)
He doesn't want to show his face cuz he's got the day off
He says he won't be doing a gaming stream tonight
He's not used to not having the comments pass by on-screen like they do on NicoNama but he'll try to answer our comments to the best of his ability
He tries to enlarge the comments but instead gets rid of them (sasuga)
He apologizes for not being able to stream the day before as planned
He thinks he'll be able to save this broadcast in the archives (it's still there!)
He doesn't read comments on his phone simultaneously when streaming Nakacha but he does when he's at Parlor
He turns his camera on and instantly announces he has a pimple on his cheek
His hair has gotten longer in the last couple of weeks! (The hairdye has faded too)
He doesn't like that the camera quality is as good as it is (then why not change back to streaming on your iPad like before 😭)
The BGM disappeared when he turned his camera on so he's clicking back and forth to get it back, fixes it, but now there's an echo (there's always some type of technical issue lol)
He removes his glasses but quickly realizes he can't see SHIT
This month's drink: Homemade gin soda 700ml
He's only had a few beers recently with some of the LycoReco male cast and action ensemble cast
We've all collectively decided Ono Kento's main scene was the Pants Man scene 🩲
Post-COVID, he thinks female cast members don't go out drinking anymore like the male cast members
One day after rehearsals, he went to Akabane (neighbourhood in northern Tokyo, next to Saitama) by himself and there was this place called Senbero which advertisied food and alcohol for just 1000¥ which he found surprising so he went inside - turns out he had to pay 5000¥ by the end of his meal
He looks like a man who got ripped off
He might have drunk too much (this man istg)
He tries to move the screens around his dual monitors and his mouse keeps making clanking noises on the table
He's remembering that time he forgot to shut off the stream once and had to have upper management remove it for him
He prefers the way the comments go by on NicoNama after all, it's easier for him to read
Everyone were really professional
The director Akira-san created a nice atmosphere where you could feel at ease. Hiroki feels like they were good friends and were joking around together every rehearsal
He's bullying Rintaro (affectionately) 🤖
He thinks the Bluray disc will be quite generous with backstage content this time, the cameraman were basically present all the time
After each performance, they had an evaluation meeting for the higawari scenes (he doesn't know if it will be included though; it might be a waste of space, he says)
As for the adlib scene in Robota's room, the director pretty much left it up to Hiroki and Rintaro to do whatever
None of the Guy Hard adlib was part of the script at all
Because they all liked Hiroki's donut adlib (Guy Hard scene) during rehearsals, the director left it up to him too lol He had to step it up each time
He rewatched Die Hard once
He didn't tell Misato (Chisato's actress) his adlib ideas because it wouldn't make them as interesting
He goes on to talk about how he tried to preserve the vividness of reality in his adlib scenes, how each performance is different (compared to if it was to be put in the anime). He thinks the play needed unscripted funny scenes like those as a break from some of the emotionally heavy scenes
He stayed up til 3 in the morning before senshuuraku, creating his own script, to write down the last adlib
Someone in the chat said he did the same thing for DisGOONie's Motherland
However, he couldn't go too meta with his adlibs (apart from senshuuraku) - compared to Yoshi's pantsu scene, that one was allowed to be more meta because it was an imaginary scene lol
Yoshi's pantsu scene wasn't even in the script in the first place!
It's not even Yoshi's scene at this point - it's just a weird old man who likes pantsu lmao
Majima's pantsu are indeed red in the anime but they're (supposedly) black in the preview on YouTube, and because Rintaro was having a hard time with his higawari scenes, they went with that one
Hiroki himself actually didn't want to do the black briefs scene 🩲 He came up with the maid café scene all on his own though (sorry everyone who had to see that) He'd been practicing it ever since rehearsals
That scene was actually so crucial for them as time was precious; they had to time it exactly and finish it in 1 minute and 32 seconds because of the BGM
He's having difficulty with his hair, it get's wavy due to the humidity
Also, his hair dye from last time pretty much disappeared in an instant, it didn't last for more than two weeks
He apologises for using the camera as a mirror
This month's snack: Fried chicken with sweetened vinegar and tartar sauce 🍗 And octopus, broccoli and basil salad 🥦
In the Guy Hard scene, initially Majima and Chisato would just look at each other, go "hmph!" and look away
When he told her she had big eyes, that was just him saying it in the spur of the moment
He was glad the audience seemed to enjoy his off-handed comments at Chisato
They made other comments too like "you've got a tall nose" and "your eyelashes are flimsy"
The pre-show announcement wasn't made by him nor Majima (then who was it?? ww) He isn't sure why they asked him to do it
Within the theatre hall, because of its rules and manners, there are certain words you must use during announcements (such as emergency guidance etc), that's why he didn't say it as Majima
↑ That was the thing he got a message about during last time's Nakacha livestream
He hopes he got a good balance between announcing it as neither Majima nor Nakada
He's flicking around with the aircon he bought himself (brand: Daikin). Since he lives in a rented apartment, it didn't come with the aircon
He's starting to feel the alcohol from just one glass tonight
Whenever he's had a particularly hard performance schedule, it's not the day after the final performance but the day after that when he feels like crashing
He hopes he's given a good performance to those who came to see it for the first time, those who have seen it alot of times, those who have never seen a stage play before, and those who simply like the original work
He thinks he didn't do as much action as Chisato but his moves were quite different in the sense that he had alot of jumping and longer distances to run
It was tough on the body cuz he had to raise his legs alot. He might have told this previously but when he tried kicking for the first time, his muscles were sore all over the next day
He's not used to gun action so that was really difficult for him. Rather than shooting, it's more difficult to look like you're getting shot
There's different types of impact when shooting; rather than pulling or pushing, he's more for gripping and squeezing
He thinks Mari (Fuki's actress) did her shooting impact really beautifully
He apologises to his own muscles for getting hit so many times lol
Majima's bones are probably torn to pieces lol
The first time he got shot, he actually threw up a little
Normally, you would stop the moment you get hit but because of Chisato's rubber bullets, he had to keep going each time
Before he got used to getting shot, he felt like the abnormal titans running
However, he feels like his reactions to getting shot was nothing compared to the action team - they're all pros, after all
He can't decide on his front bangs so he wants to get a headband
Shoutout to Tsukada Tomoki who's an action veteran in the ensemble cast; Hiroki and he met for the first time while on Toumyu Kishou Hongi, they got talking alot together on this stage (he even helped Hiroki out on the Guy Had adlibs)
Chat: "I want to see Hiroki with a sword soon" Him: "Please let the management know. If it's not just coming from me but from all of you, it will probably be decided. So please!"
Majima's whistling was also Hiroki's idea, it wasn't in the script. He was intentionally lowering the last tone to make it more eerie (the whistling was also a reference to Die Hard)
He doesn't remember what they discussed in the after-talk
He didn't mean to stay silent the entire time, he wasn't able to enter the dialogue naturally so he was just awaiting his turn. Then, Kento ended up introducing him
He thought the planking was gonna be a joke (until it wasn't)
He thought he would ruin the vibes if he kept talking for more than 30 minutes
"You gotta be careful with adlibs!" He talked all that time just because he wanted to say that line lol He came up with it the day before, it was for pantsu man's sake
He hasn't thought of any adlibs for Tensura yet
He's off to make another 700ml pint of alcohol 🍺
Aaand he forgets to turn the camera back on for 3 minutes before he notices
He's having his octopus and broccoli salad and reminds us that Majima is not officially affiliated with broccolis ww
He's always liked green as colour and thinks his shirt is cute (brand: TTT MSW, ¥14 300) There were three colours but he chose green 💚
The director of the LycoReco anime told him he wanted to make a Majima spin-off! It would focus on young Majima, Chisato and the Alan children
He wonders if there's any Alan children within Lilybell
He wants to know the story of Majima's parents, he wonders at what age Majima began thinking they way he does
Then again, if they're Alan children, their parents probably aren't in the picture anymore
As a viewer, he's excited to see if LycoReco ever gets a season 2
There's the theory that Yoshi isn't dead after all
He's mulling over the possibility if there were more artificial hearts, and if Yoshi had it put in or not since he still has the scar
He thinks it'd be lame if the heart actually was inside the carrier bag
Suddenly there's a bug in his room and he has to get up to let it out through the window 🤣 And he briefly changes the BGM to last boss music www
He apologizes for not being able to be in Furuba The Final except for a video appearance
He can't think of a time when he's only had a video appearance before (he's had a voice appearance in the Wind Boys musical)
If there's no one there to stop him, his Aya appearance might be 30 minutes long. Yuki might cut him right off though (probably)
Although he's never been in a video appearances, they're always scripted and they're very strict about it so he hopes they won't ask him to improvise
"What's the point of improvising if you've only got one shot?"
Daily adlib video appearances are too much, they're too innovative (that's one way to put it lol) Even if the director Mori tells him it's fine with a smile on his face
He should just be in it already if he's gonna do daily adlib videos
Since it's Aya we're talking about, all of this might be possible because he just wants to bless Yuki
Someone in the chat mentions to all LycoReco fans that they can watch Furuba at d-anime Store and DMM TV, and Hiroki tells them they don't have to advertise it 🥺
He's getting frustrated over his hair again; he's got hairpins somewhere but he's not gonna go get them cuz he doesn't want to show his forehead
He seems really happy for the person in the chat who mentions LycoReco was their first irl stage play and they liked his Majima!
The chat asks how it was to perform at G-Rosso, he thinks it was very difficult (due to its height and how steep the steps were), both on stage and backstage, especially in the scene where he had to run at full speed then roll over
He tried searching his indirects (egosa) during the performances but majority turned out to be about Majima Goro from the game, Like a Dragon/Yakuza
He won't say anything else on the matter because he doesn't want to upset fans of the game
He's gotten quite used to how to handle the long coat, he thinks he's good at it
He felt like all air had been punched out of his stomach when he did the last fall
Him stocking the cans were at random each time, but they tried to choose the Gokigen can (imitating the old dairy drink Fukigen) when drinking. For senshuuraku, they absolutely had to choose Gokigen
He apologises for not being able to stream on NicoNama this month but hopes we can spend time together on this platform in the meantime
He thinks it was refreshing to stream on OpenRec like this for once
Congratulations to everyone born in June! 🎉
"We cannot live without you, much like the rainy season!"
He hasn't taken a bath in two days, perhaps that's why his hair is the way it is today
≫ 2nd part of the stream:
He's feeling fuzzy because of those two drinks yet he goes to make another one
He thought he was gonna be cute and clap his hands on camera, then he looked over and got embarrassed over himself 😭 maji kawachii
He wants us to ask more about LycoReco because at this point he'll absolutely tell us things he shouldn't ww
He feels like the stream is lagging
He starts talking about his Majima wig but gets cut off by his Nanoleafs falling off the wall (he's got a 9 piece set)
He says his computer is paripi (shortened pronunciation of "party people" in Japanese) and sparkly
He wants to show it to us but there are some parts that are quite unsightly so he'll show it some other day
They had Majima's wig remade from scratch for this stage! The amount of hair increased and the silhouette also changed
It was very difficult for him to breathe while wearing Majima's bandages, especially due to his labored breathing from his final battle with Chisato
He wasn't scared to do the last fall, probably because he was in character - he would have been scared if he was himself doing that
He laughs when the chat tells him he fell beautifully
"'The BGM is a bit too loud'? As you wish~"
He wonders what we all think of Majima's fall, how it differs from the original work and what it implies - he says there's no right or wrong, each answer lies within us individually
The chat seems to have enjoyed how he lowered the volume on Robota's phone call
The chat was concerned for Yoshi's ears as well, although Hiroki is more worried about his eyes because of him eating Mintia and blowing his minty breath in Kento's eyes
y'all thought Majima's choice of weapon was a gun but it's actually his breath www Yoshi featuring the mint endurance championships
Hiroki was the one who came up with the marimo adlib for Robota when trying to come up with things that Majima resembled
For senshuuraku, he had already made up his mind that he wanted to do that one ("okaerinasai, goshujin-sama!") even if they repeated it from an earlier performance
He had to hit Robota's head at an angle that the noise would get picked up by the microphone on the inside, yet not hard enough that the mic would fall off (while also being careful not to break it since the head is just a prop 😅)
He's laughing as he shows the screenshot of him hitting Robota that someone sent him
He wants us to look forward to the backstage footage showing nothing but love for his hacker ("mai hakka ai")
They also had Majima likened to a swallow's nest in their drafts for adlibs
While they were thinking of their adlibs, Keigo and Kento were thinking about pantsu adlibs - the boys' dressing room were getting pretty rowdy apparently
He apologises for subjecting us all to his lame adlibs (which he himself found hilarious at the time)
He thinks Rintaro had grown lots as a person since the last stage
There were too many highlights backstage, he doesn't know if/how they're going to include all on the disc later
The chat updates him on all the winner poses Walnut did (Ultraman, Goku's kamehameha, Sailor Moon etc.) The kamehameha pose was for those in the audience in their 30s
He tried saying midori (green) and burokkorii at the same time and ended up with burori (also pronounced as Broly, a character in Dragon Ball) Not to mention Piccolo is also green, but not his hair
Everyone's trying to come up with green things in the chat, he says it's fine if the shape is mushroom-like
Suggestions: Suumo mascot, latok sea grapes, muscat grapes, melon pan, 1/3 of a dango, advocado
He tries to think of the shape but the only thing that comes to mind is a lightbulb
Apparently he had one more idea that he sang about in the wrong key so everyone backstage told him not to do it on stage? (Idk if he's saying 'key' or ki as in tree cuz the chat is mentioning この木なんの木 which seems to be an old song used in commercials which has been used since the 70s?)
Someone mentions Mike from Monsters Inc but he says that would have definitely offended some lol
Back when he did Furuba, there were lots of children in the audience that day and apparently he said a word that sounded like 'unchi' (poop)
Someone mentions Yoda in the chat and he bursts out laughing
If Robota had suddenly said Yoda at him, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to keep his cool
But if it would have been ok to mention Yoda, he might as well have mentioned Shrek too
Someone in the chat writes 誰かが座っているヨーダだ (which can also be read as 誰かが座っているようだ and then gets rid of any copyright *not*) Hiroki compliments their smart move
More NG options: The Mask, Keroro, Toy Story aliens, Grinch, TMNT
He's still going on about trying to picture Robota calling Majima Yoda ww He REALLY wishes he had done that one for the adlib 🤣
He goes on to tell us he doesn't actually know that much about Star Wars; he doesn't really understand the flow or in what order to watch, which is C-3PO or R2D2
Apparently someone told him he resembled C-3PO at one point (he probably did some robot dance moves or something)
He says he's gotten more muscular recently
His muscle training recommendation is planking, he does numerous sets for 2 minutes and then his body is trembling
He says 2 minutes might be too much for girls to handle
Even after 1.5 min he feels like quitting
The chat wants him to do muscle training rooting voice clips 💪
Someone in the chat wants him to say "lose weight, you pig!" (he won't)
He's looking sly over the fact so many seem to want that kind of voice clip
He has no plans of doing Natsu no Jin this summer 🙅♂️
He probably won't be doing Aki/Fuyu either due to his schedule
"Please adjust your schedule without trouble. Just prioritise yourself when it comes to your wallet. Valuing yourself the most, that's what's most important to me. That feeling makes me feel happy, or rather, it makes me feel at ease."
He wants to travel somewhere for summer but he won't have the time for it
He tells everyone to be careful now that the cold is going around
He asks if we have any more questions about LycoRico because after today he'll forget all about it lol
For dai senshuuraku curtain call, he intentionally bent the knee when directing the attention towards Chisato and Takina (compared to the other performances where he just gestured with his arm)
Recent 7-11 recommendations: Borscht soup (with a piece of bread)
Although it has meat, it's basically an onion soup
Someone asks him which scene he was the mosts moved by, he can't say for sure a certain scene at the moment but it might be the scene where Takina yells the heart is getting away
Again, it was Hiroki who came up with the idea of mentioning "who's the one to fall off the building" in the Guy Hard scene - he got permission to put it in there
Because the one who fell laughing from the building in Die Hard (?), Majima also laughed when he fell
He thinks finding a balance in today's world is important, and Majima found that in his own sense surely
Even if there's an overflow of good things, that doesn't necessarily cancel out the bad things
(He's going on a bit of a tangent justifying (?) Majima's way of thinking, it's hard to translate - he himself ends it with, "it's difficult")
He just wants to have a serious talk about Majima
"Was it a loss to fall or not?"
(He looks really deep in thought at this point)
That's all for LycoReco 🙌
He's got rehearsals starting again next month!
People are sending him both strawberries and watermelon Yells in the chat
He won't be tweeting tonight; it's no good when he's been drinking
He notices he's been streaming for 3.5 hours at this point
He says he won't be streaming any games today, yet he's still got Placid Plastic Duck Simulator open on the other screen
He totally just bought something in-game (the screen is still cut off)
And he's gone off to the bathroom 🚽
He's got a new pool for the ducks!
It's supposed to be a relaxing game but he can't get his game controller to work so he's stuck using his computer mouse and he keeps hitting it on the table (pls get a mousepad)
He's chewing some ice from his drink and has gotten a bag of Sapporo potato chips that's making alot of noise
His wipe camera is working!
He says BBQ chips are good no matter how old you get
His FENDI earring is hurting his ear now that he's wearing headphones
(His reactions towards the different ducks are adorable but his gaming and excessive clicking is insufferable)
He attempts to yodel the way they do in the game
There's a hot air balloon far away in the distance, he says he wants to go irl but he'd absolutely die from crashing it
He wants to go to the type of lodging that's in the game, but only for two days, then he'd want to go home
He takes a screenshot of the shark duck on screen, then ends the stream after 4 hours 🫶
