#SinonDiary Honestly, I was on the fence about whether she’d turn on the stream since Sinny said she was sick earlier, but she kept her promise and came live after all. She used the ssipong (an extra ‘s’ is crucial here, this is important!) model because she was feeling under the weather. She mentioned she really wanted to stream since she won’t be able to for the next 3 days due to an upcoming family trip. More than anything, she said being sick made her feel lonely and isolated, which is why she came. I thought it would be better if she prioritized her health for the important family trip, but hearing her say that left me with nothing more to say.. Of course, she said she was just going to play games comfortably since she wasn’t feeling well, and she actually did just that. She manages herself better than we think. Then she started sharing that when she woke up in the morning, her throat felt extremely dry and slightly sore. She said she didn’t have a fever or a full-blown cold, but she gets sick often. Seeing her continuously mention her throat hurting without coughing makes me think it’s likely a sore throat cold. I naturally have a weak throat myself, so whenever I catch a cold, 90% of the time it’s a throat cold. Korea’s weather has severe temperature swings, making it easy to catch colds, so Sinny probably caught it while still adapting to the climate. She mentioned having a humidifier and an air purifier, but didn’t turn them on because the house felt like it was getting too cold. Instead, she thought about turning on the boiler heating, but worried about high utility bills, so she held off and ended up catching a cold. Aside from streaming, she has a lot of work to do, so her computer is running almost 24/7, making her worry that utility bills—especially electricity—would be huge. Going without a humidifier despite the dryness, Sinny seems a bit clueless when it comes to self-care. Of course, I’m not much better myself, but I hope the nanobros pay attention to these things and support her. Still, fortunately, she recently bought an electric blanket, so I’ll trust that she can stay at least a little warm. Also, she mentioned wanting to upload the instrumental version of her original song, though she doesn’t know when that will be. If she releases it, it’ll be a fantastic opportunity for nanobros who want to sing along. Unfortunately, my body is cursed when it comes to any form of art, so I won’t be able to contribute. lol then while talking with her cousin about Jeju Island, she mentioned learning a new Korean meme: ‘슉 슈숙 시. 시발럼아’. ‘슉 슈숙’ is an onomatopoeia for stabbing with a knife in Korean, and ‘시. 시발럼아’ is... well, the Korean curse word Sinny always uses. You all probably know it well already. The reason this meme became famous in Korea started when someone posted a picture of a Dol Harubang statue in Jeju holding kitchen knives in both hands along with text repeating ‘슉 슈숙 시. 시발럼아’. If anyone didn’t get what she was saying, this reference might help. Ah right, she also shared something important. The reason she made ssipong in the first place was that when Lena (sweet_lena0) showed her ‘죵쬐’ (spelled roughly as Jong-jjae in English), Sinny thought it was insanely cute. Lena offered to make one for her, but due to Lena’s busy schedule it didn’t seem feasible, so Sinny ended up creating it herself. lol she must have really found it adorable. She drew every single part for the Live2D model herself and rigged it with Nitty’s help, building it with her own hands. And on a personal note, because she drew it herself, it carries more of her own flavor and ultimately showcases her character personality much better, so I’m personally super satisfied with it. I hope to see it often in the future. Also, Sinny wanted to pay Nitty for her work, but Nitty reportedly said “ah~ no need for money!” and worked on it anyway. So Sinny said she’d buy her a delicious meal when they meet up later. Since Sinny is someone who keeps her promises, we can just look forward to seeing what menu Sinny and Nitty will end up eating lol. And as a fan, I feel like I should thank Nitty as well. Thank you so much once again. Oh, speaking of which, she also talked about the shorts she uploaded earlier. After learning that famous Korean singer Ailee debuted as a vtuber on chzzk, she quickly made the shorts in hopes that Sinny’s feelings as a fan would reach her. Listening to her talk, it was hilarious because you could really feel what a passionate fan she is lol. She even joked that she wouldn’t mind getting sued if it meant getting to meet her at the police station lmao. You could really feel her desperation. However, she also asked us to only send the shorts to others when they actually want to see them. On chzzk, there’s a feature where viewers can show videos to streamers, and it seems someone previously abused that feature and caused inconvenience to another stream, which is why she said that. I also believe that if we want to be respected, we must respect others first. Every streamer builds and leads their own unique atmosphere, and when we watch another streamer’s broadcast, I agree that it’s right to respect that atmosphere. After that, we proceeded with StarCraft as scheduled, and you could really tell how hard she had been practicing behind the scenes. Many of her weak points were fixed. First, her habit of sitting on overflowing resources completely disappeared. Unless an engagement was extremely hectic, she made an effort to spend all her resources as much as possible. Secondly, her building placement order used to be all mixed up, but now she was building efficiently. And lastly, she never had a late-game plan before, but this time she demonstrated using ultralisk and defiler together, showing a perfectly structured late-game plan. Honestly, it was astonishing. I knew she would bring some preparation, but I didn’t expect her to solve most of her issues in such a short time. Improving her flaws so systematically in a short span made it feel like she studied well-organized tutorial videos on YouTube or received direct coaching. After finishing the game, Sinny brought up the topic of pro-gamer coaching offers again. Just like before, she emphasized wanting to do the streaming she wants while simultaneously doing streaming that we enjoy. Sinny mentioned it would be great if she worked hard to prepare a project, delivered great results, and made both Sinny and nanobros happy— but it would be sad if she worked really hard to create something and only one side ended up happy. She also expressed her gratitude to us because clippers and others promoted Sinny, helping pro-gamers come to know and understand her. Then she said it was sad when people say watching vtubers is a one-sided relationship, adding that Sinny doesn’t have friends, so at least for her, that’s not true lmao. She mentioned that even though the stream itself is only about 3 to 4 hours, even after ending the stream, she spends most of her time thinking about streaming— what to show next, what to prepare— and that her life revolves around streaming because she wants to show us fun things. She said this means a huge deal to her, and while she can’t read every single comment or post, she tries her best to catch up. She also emphasized once again that while supa and all other forms of support are greatly appreciated, it doesn’t mean those who can’t provide them don’t matter— just coming to watch is enough for her to be grateful. lol and on a totally random note, someone joked that Sinny curses a lot, and she replied that Korean curse words are very satisfying lol. She said cursing in Korean clears out her chest lol. And Sinny herself noted that some en nanobros seem to have adapted already. She mentioned cultural exchange is really fun. Observing the chat occasionally, I see some en nanobros using ‘ㅋㅋㅋ’ or ‘시발’. Damn it Sinny... you ruined them.... Oh, and then Sinny brought up that she actually prefers streaming twice a day, though she didn’t know what we’d think about it. After the first stream, she can rest for a good while, recover her condition, and then turn on the next stream— plus, above all, she finds streaming fun. And Sinny mentioned again that she tried watching other people’s streams for a long time, but found it tough (probably due to her ADHD LMAO). So she expressed how thankful she is that people come to Sinny’s stream every time and spend hours with her, because watching a stream every time is no easy task. She said unless it’s true love, it’s hard to watch live streams lol, speaking from her own experience as a viewer. And she explained that this is precisely why Sinny wants to create content that makes both her and nanobros happy. She also shared her ongoing worries about her singing lacking distinct character and not improving fast enough, though she practices to get better. And the same goes for gaming— she doesn’t want to make us angry by showing poor gameplay.... She said that was the reason she didn’t stream Among Us. First, her understanding of the game was low, and second, she didn’t know how to run the stream smoothly so everyone could enjoy it, plus during collabs there are so many things to think about that her mind gets overwhelmed. So she decided to just focus on the game itself. That’s why Sinny finds large collab streams tough, even if it’s with her senpai or other Phase Connect members. Still, she said she’ll give it a try next time. Then she said tomorrow’s stream will be about the behind-the-scenes of her original song— what roles the contributors played, how the progress went, and how staff-san helped— so this stream is something I absolutely cannot miss. --- Before finishing my diary, I want to write down a few personal thoughts. After all, this is a diary lol. Truth is, I had one concern about her receiving StarCraft coaching from a pro-gamer. Even though I’ve been aware of vtubers for 5 years, I knew nothing about them. I watched from afar for 5 years before finding someone who might be my oshi, monitored her for 8 months, and finally felt confident enough to consider her my oshi and become an active fan. That’s how cautious my personality is. Honestly, I was worried there might be conflicting demands from different fan bases due to stream direction. Ever since she first brought up the topic, I looked into it on my own, but I couldn’t be 100% sure if the needs of people who watch pro-gamer streams matched the tendencies of nanobros. But today, hearing her say that she won’t care about external criticism aimed at her and that what matters is whether nanobros are satisfied gave me full confidence. I think this content is worth pursuing. My biggest concern was always whether the clash in streaming styles would cause burden or heavy criticism that Sinny couldn’t handle. While it’s definitely great content, I didn’t have 100% confidence it could wrap up successfully. However, seeing Sinny speak like that today made me realize there was no need to worry at all. I understood that she is a much stronger person than we think. As long as she herself feels confident about not getting hurt, all that’s left for nanobros is to enjoy watching Sinny grow through the content she wants to do and cheer her on. And above all, looking at her actual VODs, these ‘oji-san contents’ get 2 to 3 times more views than other types of videos. It really might be an opportunity she shouldn’t miss. I decided that trusting Sinny and supporting her is the right call. She is a strong person. I also reflected on her thoughts regarding her singing worries and the effort behind it.. Aside from my main job, I have a secondary line of work where the value of effort is far less rewarded than in other fields, so I could really relate to her words. Effort doesn’t guarantee everything. But since effort is the only tool we have, we just have to keep doing it. Sinny probably understands that too, which is why she said it. The difference between Sinny and me, though, is that while I carry everything alone, she has the nanobros. I sincerely hope that while Sinny works hard to grab opportunities and grow, nanobros will do their best to support her so she doesn’t collapse from exhaustion. It doesn’t have to be money— promoting her songs, enjoying her streams, liking her content, etc... Any small gesture gathered together will ultimately become a huge source of strength for her, creating a positive cycle where both Sinny and nanobros grow together. Especially clippers, illustrators, and creators— I personally think they do crucial work that money alone can’t replace. And I completely understand why Sinny hesitates to stream large collabs— because I have the exact same personality! When I get flustered, I panic, lose track of what to do, and end up unable to do anything! So whenever I do something, I tend to simulate all kinds of unexpected variables and prepare thoroughly before taking action, which is why her words resonated with me so much. But here’s how I see it: even if she plays horribly and the game goes completely wrong, would nanobros blame her? I don’t think there’s anyone like that among us. Someone who knows the game well would offer advice or words of encouragement to support her instead. The same goes for when she’s too overwhelmed to read or react to our chat during a stream— we all understand it’s a collab stream and recognize her role in it, so we won’t mind. In fact, we’ll enjoy watching her fulfill her role in a collab environment, like watching a hamster run on a wheel inside a cage. And when she said watching vtubers is a one-sided relationship and that it broke her heart because at least for her, that wasn’t true... I know her words aren’t just empty words. Given her health, her circumstances, and her talents, she truly gives everything to the nanobros with complete sincerity, so I’m certain she means every word. Still, I think there are limits. She’s only one person after all. That’s why I believe supporting an oshi means focusing on what she can show us rather than what she gives back to each fan individually. An oshi growing, setting goals, offering great content... those are the things she can move forward with together with all of us. In that sense, Sinny understands this incredibly well. I think I get why Sakana brought her in as part of Phase Connect Saga. And even if my reasons are different, I’ll keep supporting her too. Anyway, that’s my take. Sinny is stronger than we think, and she is someone worth trusting. Nanobros are full of wonderful people too, and I hope we can support her even more as we all grow together. And while it’d be great if Sinny could trust the nanobros and lay down some of that pressure during any stream... She probably knows this already. But since it’s a habit and instinct, it won’t be easy lol. So I’m not trying to say she must turn on her stream during collabs. I just wanted to leave a note that if she does, we will do our best to cheer her on. That’s all.

#SinonDiary Earlier on stream, when she was going over her daily schedule and mentioned turning on guerrilla streams whenever she gets bored, I kind of picked up on it from her Twitter replies… and sure enough, she actually did a guerrilla stream. She claims she went live just because she was bored, which is probably true, but I feel like part of it was also that she was nervous about tomorrow’s original song release and that karaoke stream she’s been working so hard on. Oh wait, that wasn’t the only reason either. She also said she went live to practice since moving to CHZZK might mean streaming twice a day down the road. Then again, no matter how I look at it, that just sounds like an excuse to blow off her homework. Anyway, she booted up a game called Don’t Drop The Cake. She seemed to bring it on stream thinking it was just some casual ragebait horror game… but the storyline turned out to be surprisingly intriguing. To put it simply, the protagonist wakes up in a grotesque, pitch-black world with zero memory of why they’re there or why they’re holding a strawberry cake. Led by a guide from that world, they set off on a journey to dodge hideously deformed monsters while making sure they absolutely do not drop the cake. But as the story unfolds… hidden truths and plot twists start coming to light. Especially at the very end, where they turn a hopeless situation around by using a certain monster’s ability against it… seriously, you guys need to check out the stream for yourselves. Of course the story itself was compelling, but Sinny being her classic self made it so much funnier, lol. As always, she started off flexing like she’s some pro gamer (though she bluntly made it clear she was playing on normal since she has a big schedule tomorrow), and that’s pretty much how it went… but honestly? She was actually pretty good. As I’ve noticed for a while now, Sinny tends to perform way better in games that rely on raw physical mechanics over heavy brainpower. She cleared the whole thing in about 2 hours, and while I’m no expert, I think she did surprisingly well for her first play. That said, her inner pro-speedrunner still flared up—she kept making excuses about running right into spawning monsters or straight into incoming attacks, claiming she makes more mistakes when she gets nervous… though to be fair, I’m the exact same way. One reason I’ve always felt a sense of kinship with Sinny is that I mess up a lot when I’m nervous too. So to avoid making mistakes, I tend to over-prepare everything right from the start, and since Sinny also tries her best to prepare in her own way before streams, we really are alike in that sense. Lol, watching her get all hyped up as the game went on, asking “Don’t you think I’m doing super well?” was so entertaining and cute. Not that I had any intention of validating her in chat, though, lol. She even said if there were tournaments for games like this, she’d enter and take the crown, so whenever Nanobros get some spare time, pooling our money to throw a tournament for her sounds like a great idea. Also, since she had no clue the game actually had lore, as the text kept building up, she warned that she’d punch whoever made her keep reading. Maybe because it was late at night, she seemed extra toxic today. Then again, her toxicity is easily one of her best charms. Yet despite all that, she eventually got completely hooked on the story, even sympathizing with parts of it and saying it felt like her own story. It shows she was genuinely invested, completely contrary to her initial assumption that it was just a cheap ragebait horror game. She literally said she couldn’t go pee because the game wouldn’t end, lol. Anyway, after clearing the game all the way to the end, whether she really had to pee or not, she rushed through her goodbyes, slammed the stream off, and vanished. I wanted to throw her a Super Chat, but I got shadowbanned again so I couldn’t. It feels like I’m always the one getting hit with this, probably because my typing style doesn’t sit right with the algorithm. I really hope it clears up before tomorrow’s original song release karaoke stream. All in all, even though it was a sudden guerrilla stream, the game’s story was surprisingly solid and Sinny’s reactions were extra toxic today, which made it super fun to watch. If you go into it without high expectations and just follow the story, it’s actually really good, so if you’re interested, I definitely recommend checking out this stream.

#SinonDiary Lol, even before the stream started she came in greeting everyone with “Hi chatto-kun,” like what on earth was that? Was she trying to show she was just as nervous as back when she debuted? It’s hilarious because she used to hate calling people “chatto-kun” so much, lol. And man, just as expected, when the day actually arrived she came in looking completely nerve-wracked. Saying stuff like she had no idea what to talk about, or that she couldn’t practice much so she wouldn’t be able to do anything… Seeing all that made it super obvious how nervous she really was, lol. Yet right after that, trying to sing the “chi-chi-chi-chi oppai” song just to break the ice… It really reminded me that no matter the situation, Sinny is always Sinny. (If you don’t know what song that is, search for 金色のガッシュ!! - チチをもげ! on YouTube.) Oh right, and before launching into the songs, she shared a few updates. She mentioned she’s going to do an Among Us collab with Phase Connect members. She said she won’t be streaming it on her own channel, but we’ll be able to see her on the other members’ streams. From what I checked, it looks like we can catch her on Tenma, Malice, and Nitty’s streams. Hmm… I don’t know about this one. She’s great at games that rely on raw physical mechanics, but she kind of falls off when it comes to games requiring heavy brainpower… And this game feels like a mix of both. Also, just like Sinon mentioned before, she said she’s revealing a new model… And sure enough, she brought out a model similar to Minon’s. Since Minon itself is an existing model, she asked us to come up with a new name for it… I don’t know, what kind of name would fit best? Feels like tomorrow will be the time to test how witty the Nanobros really are. Ah right, I used to wonder why Nitty was called “Papa,” but turns out he handled the rigging. Damn, how did he even manage to rig that short and stubby body? If I don’t watch tomorrow’s stream, I’ll literally go crazy from curiosity, so I’m definitely tuning in. Anyway… leaving all that shaking behind, once she started singing… My worries flew right out the window the second the music hit, just as expected. Something similar happened back when she streamed on CHZZK for the first time. She was super anxious herself and the chat was all over the place, but the moment she sang just one song, everything settled right down. It was the exact same story this time. As soon as she started singing, all the Nanobros became as one, cheering her on with emotes, and as if answering back, she delivered a performance with incredible quality. Among those, the one that left the deepest impression on me was “Back in Time” by Lyn. This was a song I used to listen to back when I was a student, but I had completely forgotten about it. The moment she sang it, memories I’d forgotten came flooding right back. After running nonstop for the past 10 years, it made me feel like I was finally looking back at things I had failed to look back on, so I was deeply grateful to her. It helped me realize I still have precious memories inside me. After singing about 3 songs, she finally said her tension had melted away, and hearing that brought me a lot of relief (though she got all nervous again when presenting her original song, lol). She also shared that she did thousands of retakes trying to release this original song. Eventually, feeling like the song might never come out at all, she just decided to put it out there. It felt so classic Sinny. Since she’s someone who gets super nervous yet holds herself to incredibly high standards and wants top quality, it completely makes sense. Though the production staff must have suffered quite a bit, lol. Oh, and lately she said she’s been binge-watching Korean clips. Saying she has to do market research since she’ll be streaming in Korea soon, lol. It was hilarious how bluntly honest she was. She also shared the backstory behind working on the original song. She said she had to work on it like a storyboard, which left her feeling completely lost. Since it was an animated music video and she barely had any experience with that kind of thing, she felt totally at a loss. Sinny said initially she wanted to pack it with a lot of typography—like classic J-Pop Japanese cover videos where fonts move frantically all over the screen. But the MV producer(I'm not sure if this is the right way to call her, but anyway) advised that it might not match the video well and suggested simplifying the lyrics instead. At first, Sinny wasn’t feeling it, but after taking a look at it a few more times later on, she came to understand what the MV producer meant and said she was glad she ended up following her advice. Thanks to that, while it might not be grand like Netflix or giant animation studios, an incredible piece of work was born—hard to believe it came from just one animator and one MV producer. Whenever I hear stories like this, it reminds me that VTuber work—just like any other creative pursuit—can never be done alone. While Sinny is the one running the stream upfront, behind the scenes there are so many people backing her up to deliver the music she brings to us. I feel genuinely grateful to them every single time. Thanks to them and Sinny, we get to enjoy so many wonderful things. And I believe it’s our part to give back to them—whether through words of thanks or financial support—so we can share joy with one another and fuel each other’s growth. Ah right, Papa Siren dropped by and mentioned that Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be off-days (which is probably Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in US West time). He said he’d be staying for 3 weeks and that they’re taking a family trip during those days. I really hope Sinny has an awesome, relaxing time with her family after so long. After that, she opened up about her days as an idol trainee. Back in her teens, living in a hyper-competitive music industry, she went through monthly evaluations where they told her they disliked her. They even told her she was so bad at singing she should just become a rapper instead. But Sinny said she didn’t think they were wrong. Back then, her vocal technique and vocalization were much worse, and they were looking for a vocalist with a distinct, clear character. She added that from the company’s perspective, they try to package an idol as a commercial product, and since idols are products to them, that’s just how they have to operate. Sinny said she understood it and didn’t hold a grudge, saying only that the way they delivered the words was what hurt. Honestly, since I’m no expert, my opinion shouldn’t be taken as any objective metric or reference… But I think I can somewhat picture what they meant by her vocal lacking a distinct feature. She clearly puts in tremendous effort behind the scenes and sings really well, and you can tell it’s Sinon singing… But whenever she covers different songs, the distinct impression of “Sinon” as an individual feels a bit diluted. For instance, during this karaoke stream, she sang Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” She introduced it as one of her absolute favorite songs, and you could tell she worked super hard practicing it for this stream. She delivered a fantastic rendition, which I really enjoyed… But somehow, I got the impression she was mimicking the original artist. I think that’s probably what she was referring to. However, when listening to her newly released original track, “Lost In The Tide,” I felt the presence of “Sinon” loud and clear. It didn’t sound like anyone else’s voice—it was pure Sinon. I feel like the key to unlocking her firm vocal character lies right there. Of course, I’m no expert, and this is just how I personally felt. Since Sinon mentioned she’s actively practicing to find her own distinct vocal character, I believe she’ll get there eventually. Our job as Nanobros is to keep supporting her so she can keep going strong on her journey. As long as she keeps growing steadily and has people genuinely backing her up, a pitch will definitely come along for Sinny to hit a grand slam. And the Nanobros’ job is to support her so she doesn’t burn out before that pitch arrives. And if that time comes… I suppose I’ll have to finish what I need to do as well.

#SinonDiary Even though Sinny didn’t stream it herself, I was able to watch her play Among Us today through the streams of other members, so I checked it out. It was time for the senpais and genmates to gather around and introduce themselves. Lol, but even here, she introduced herself as a “shameless siren,” and seeing all the senpais get shocked and laugh was so funny. Honestly, even I’m still not used to that nickname. The game rules were a bit unique— instead of calling each other by their actual names, Tenma-senpai spun a roulette wheel to assign everyone a name. The names prepared were: How, When, What, Who, Where, Me, That, You, and Sus (hilarious how Sus was randomly included in there). Over the course of 2 rounds, the names were assigned like this: **Round 1** Tenma - How Erina - When Nitty - What Bibi - Who Panko - Where Hime - Me Malice - That Sinny - Sus (Getting the name that fits her best in the very first round, she really is lucky) **Round 2** Tenma - Me Erina - Sus Nitty - That Bibi - Who Panko - When Hime - How Malice - You Sinny - What It was assigned like this. It’d be great for anyone planning to watch to use this as a reference. Anyway, while the game was going on, I just quietly watched Sinny through other people’s streams. Sinny started participating after mentioning she’d never played Among Us before, and you could definitely tell she lacked experience. (I’ve never played it either, so I don’t know if I have the right to say this.) Even though she was the first to discover a dead body and report it, she’d unfairly end up under suspicion, or she’d get terrified of getting killed and fall into full panic, suspecting every single person who walked near her as the culprit, lol. The way she usually panics when flustered showed up the exact same way in Among Us… and well… it was cute. I try not to use that word often, but it’s been coming up a lot lately. Because of that, things turned unfavorable for Sinny and bad situations kept popping up, but I could still see her trying her absolute best to make it entertaining for the stream, so I just quietly kept watching. In Round 1, Sinon had a big moment by being the very first to discover that Where (Panko) was dead and reporting it. But while that part was good, she tried to convince people to vote for When (Erina), but her pitch wasn’t persuasive enough, so she ended up being mistaken for the impostor and voted out instead. That was because Me (Hime) provided an alibi proving When (Erina) wasn’t the impostor. Discovering the body was great, but recklessly guessing the killer backfired into getting voted off— it was a bit sad, but at the same time, it felt so much like the usual pon Sinny, which made it super fun. In the end, the impostor for Round 1 was How (Tenma), and Me (Hime) and When (Erina) were so sharp that they pinned down How as the suspect right away. Tenma-senpai ended up getting voted off with the iconic quote “This was fun,” bringing Round 1 to an end, lol. Meanwhile, Panko’s connection seemed bad because she got disconnected for a moment. I’d recommend swapping her internet optical pasta for optical fiber cable. And then Round 2 started soon after. This time, Sinny pointed at Sus (Erina), saying she kept following her around so she must be the impostor, and Erina ended up getting voted out… but she wasn’t the impostor. I can still clearly remember Erina-senpai screaming “I’m going to kill you in the next game.” After that, Sinny suspected Who (Bibi). The reason, again, was just that she kept chasing her around. Lol, then she shifted suspicion back to That (Nitty)… and after a chaotic sequence of events, the game ended. When it was revealed that That (Nitty) was the impostor and the game ended in her victory, Sinny shouted “I’m fuckin knew it!” It was so rare to hear her drop an F-bomb other than “freakin,” lol. She must have felt pretty wronged. Oh, and as they played, she apologized to all the senpais for suspecting everyone. She said she was just terrified of everyone following her, thinking they were trying to kill her, lol. I wonder if I was the only one who found that… c-cute, but seeing everyone treat Sinny like a wet puppy and being so understanding made for such a warm, wholesome, and funny atmosphere. I wondered why she didn’t turn on her stream even though she prepared a thumbnail, and I’m guessing that given her personality, she just didn’t want to show a game she wasn’t prepared for or good at. Though honestly, Nanobros would watch her no matter how well or poorly she plays. Anyway, the game ran for 2 rounds and wrapped up in an hour, but the actual vibe and chaotic situations were way too fun to fit into a journal entry, and seeing Sinny like that was a blast. If anyone is curious, I’ll leave the link below so you can check out whichever member’s POV you want to watch. Oh, and in my last entry I said 3 people streamed it, but it was actually way more than that. Next time I should use tools like Holodex to check and confirm beforehand. I only found out today that something like that even exists.

#SinonDiary Honestly, Sinny always pulls unexpected moves, but today the entire stream was completely unpredictable. She mentioned bringing a new (silly) model, but I never expected her to pull off such diverse content with it. After messing around with the Nanobros for a while, she finally revealed the model. The eye movement was super fluid, and even the drool coming out of its mouth moved. I was really surprised at how high-quality the rigging was. She even prepared two outfits instead of just one: a blowfish plushie-style outfit (she claims it’s a sunfish, but honestly it looks like a blowfish) and an outfit stuffed with sakana bones (just kidding, her official explanation was an unemployed hobo). She explained that it was a child born after she and Nitty got locked in a private dungeon and did bungabunga… Sinny, you always said you wanted to seduce Nitty, and you finally succeeded. Congrats. After that, we voted on a name for the new model, and after a fierce neck-and-neck battle, the name “Sipong” was chosen. Honestly, I love this name because it sounds so similar to the Korean swear word Sinny always has on her lips. Oh, and then she did a karaoke stream using this model! Even matching the model’s appearance by singing in a silly style! I honestly didn’t expect this kind of content. Maybe after trying it out frantically with her friends in that “Hongdae and Maple Story Cafe vod” stream, she realized she really liked that style. Unexpectedly, she sang around 7 songs, so there was plenty of content! Lmao, but for one of the songs, she lip-synced her original song from yesterday using that dumb-looking model before switching to singing it idiotically mid-way, making all my emotional tears from yesterday feel totally foolish. Give me back my emotions, Sinon!!!! The next few songs she sang were also traps where she pretended to be serious before singing them all foolishly, lol. In the middle, she seemed a bit nervous when someone said they’d send a video to Ailee showing how she messed with her song, but I hope it’s fine. Of course she knows it’s a joke… but I don’t know, hopefully it’s just a pointless worry. No one would actually blame Sinny for that, since in reality she’s a good person who deeply respects artists and constantly strives to catch up to them. Hahaha, while singing in the middle, she broke up the beats however she wanted while shamelessly making excuses that she’s a natural singer and diva so she’s just grooving— it was literally “shameless siren” itself. Of course, maybe because of her strong professionalism beneath it all, even when trying to sing foolishly on purpose, she couldn’t break the habit of hitting all the right pitches. Maybe that’s why she mentioned that singing like this was actually harder than singing normally, lmao. Still, I’m glad to hear that singing like this helps relieve her stress. I hope she does these silly karaokes for us once in a while whenever she wants to blow off steam without straining herself. Watching Sinny enjoy herself makes us happy too. And actually, the real reason she made this model was that her original model is too heavy for certain games, so she needed one that demands less CPU and RAM. Come to think of it, I’ve occasionally seen other Vtubers use this style of model when passing by. It’s probably for the exact same reason, which means Sinny researched others well and applied it cleverly to herself. To be honest, I was looking forward to this model coming out because it’s silly and cute, right? But seeing it rigged to such high quality surprised me a lot. Even Sinny didn’t expect it to turn out this well and praised Nitty for working so fast, saying she’s really amazing. I should really thank Nitty too, and I hope she had fun working on this project as well. Also, Sinny mentioned getting sick often since coming to Korea, which is probably because it’s the change of seasons and the temperature swings are harsh. I hope she doesn’t skimp on heating costs and stays warm all the time. And tomorrow, she said she’ll share the behind-the-scenes story of making her original song “Lost in the Tide,” which is a stream I absolutely cannot miss. Out of all the songs she has sung so far, I genuinely love this song the most. But since she ended the stream early due to not feeling well, I really hope she gets plenty of rest and recovers by tomorrow.
