poppochan | [190302] Asamack - Jack's 11th Anniversary

Asamack celebrated Jack's 11th anniversary!

TL;DR: They talk about Jack finally uploading after years of saying he was going to, and a bit about how niconico was like in the old days. Jack talks about his short trip with Yumamiya, and they talk about their plans for the year with their newly formed circle!

Jack: The illustration was amazing and I want everyone to watch the video, but compared to the main vocal, the chorus harmony… which Yumamiya sang for me, there were 29 people...

Asamaru: Eto… twenty...nine…

Jack: Yeah, upper harmony, lower harmony, and various other things…

Jack: I originally asked him for 3 layers but… in the end.

Asamaru: So… including Jack as main vocal, 33 people were involved in the video
(1 Jack (Main) + 29 Yumamiyas (Mix/Harmony/Chorus) + 1 Keito (Illustration) + 1 Mienohito (Video) + 1 rfdn (Encode))

Asamaru: The mix must've been tough...

Jack: Yeah, Mami-san kept going aiyaiya~aiyaiya~ wwwwwwwww

Asamaru: I’m really glad you did it

Jack: Yes, it’s been 9 years… since Iroha Uta in… 2010 www and for Iroha no Uta, I got Mienohito’s help for the video too.

Jack: I was always singing FLOWER TAIL on streams though~

Asamaru: Compared to other utaite, you really upload once in 10 years…
Listeners: As expected of an immortal w

Jack: I’ve been singing in the time I was away! But as for recording… it was mainly for CDs huh.

Asamaru: We’ve been talking about making a CD as the circle too~ After this, let’s sing together!

Jack: Yes yes!! This year I think there are more things I want to upload too~ After this is probably the CD…

Asamaru: A lot of people who came in were so shocked that Jack is still singing and they were sorry they’d stopped listening to us for a while~

Jack: If there’s anyone listening to FLOWER TAIL now, they’ll see that we’re streaming now… It’s possible that there are people who are coming here from there! We’re gonna be busy for the CD next~

Asamaru: People were asking, “Why did Jack retire?”, and “Ohhh he became a namanushi~” w

Jack: “I’ll upload this, I’ll upload that”, I kept saying and in the end so much time had passed ww

Asamaru: We first met on oketa... at the time, us guys... we started recording as a form of singing practice - we would ask each other how to improve by sending each other recordings and asking each other for feedback and improving like that. That was how we started recording... then Nico Nico came around and we started trying to upload them, with the mindset of “How can I improve my singing?”

Asamaru: That’s changed a lot from how it is now, right? So the young ones would watch the popular uploads, and they would look up to those singers and see them as “akogare”, and that’s how utaite came about.

Asamaru: When Sennen no Doukusouka suddenly got 1000 comments, and 100k views, we were so shocked. I asked Jack “Is this really okay? It’s getting so popular www”

Jack: Back then, getting things like 100 mylists was already hard, 300 mylists, 1~2k views was already a great reach…

Jack: 11 years ago I wasn’t here, this community didn't exist back then wwww

Asamaru: Your first upload… Melt, right?

Jack: Yes, it was Melt.

Asamaru: Is there anyone here who listened to Jack’s Melt on this day 11 years ago?

Asamaru: You can’t write “hatsutoukou” on this upload huh~

Jack: Yeah, it’s a hisashiburi!

Kanpaaaai to 11 years of Jack!

Asamaru: I have work tomorrow, but I’m still drinking this beer… ww

Talking about ad tickets and how the 90% ad ticket is really good w

Promoting Jack’s upload~

Listeners: The tag of 'immortal' was added really quickly onto the video w

Jack: Oh yes, I went out to play with Yumamiya this week! We went to Kobe’s Animal Kingdom! Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka in three days~

Asamaru called Yumamiya a mix master, and Jack said he’s someone he’s known since a long time ago...?

Asamaru: At the end of the year, he came to Tokyo twice, and now he’s gone to Kobe… he’s really gone to a lot of places wwwww I wonder where he lives?

Jack: Russia? That’s what he’s been saying. Wwww

Listeners: I heard that Yumamiya lives in Russia

Jack: The fire country…

Asamaru: Russia?? www Why Russia?!?!?

(Jack showed photos of his akashiyaki and Yumamiya’s meat donburi set)

Asamaru: Why is the fire country Russia??

Jack talked about how they wanted to order two strawberry parfaits, but the store was out of strawberry parfaits so Yumamiya had to take the chocolate one instead because Jack doesn't eat chocolate ;-; then he showed Yumamiya's yakiniku don.

Asamaru: Recently I’ve met up with Yumamiya… twice… already

Jack: He’s been meeting a lot of people recently wwwww

Asamaru: I want to try meeting him one-on-one but… I’ve never gotten to do that. He talks a lot of rubbish wwww

Jack: You’ll definitely end up talking about rfdn wwwwwwwww

Asamaru: Things never change wwwww if rfdn doesn’t turn up for a gathering with us, we’ll definitely talk about him wwwww he’s really interesting that’s why

Asamaru: I’m so envious (you got meet him)

Listeners: rfdn is a hot topic wwwwww

On the topic of rfdn, Asamaru was watching a ASMR shampoo massage Twitcast, when suddenly there were two huge ochabaku from mayuge (eyebrows, their nickname for rfdn).

Listener: There’s always mayuge wherever you go wwwwwww

Around 3 years ago, he started watching ASMR…

Asamaru: Recently that’s what I’ve been watching, I use ASMR as BGM when I can’t sleep. I love campfire sounds…

Jack: The crackling sounds, right? They really help you calm down.

Asamaru: Yeah, yeah!

Talking about sounds like the river, etc etc.

Jack: Last time I really liked the sound of typing…

Asamaru: Suna-P used to do ASMR, right? Long ago. A drama CD… (??) It’s gotten easier now because recording has gotten cheaper

Jack used to think that emoi (emotional) was similar to kimoi (disgusting) LOL

Asamaru: like erokimo??

Jack: eroi + kimoi = erokimo

Jack: So when dougas had “emakoi” on them I would think they were kimoi

Asamaru: (something about Dasoku’s dougas always having this tag on it) emoi = emotional. It’s a good meaning wwwww

Yumamiya gave Jack copies of Planetale and Mind Cluster with his autograph!!!!!!

Asamaru: Ohhhhh! He forgot to bring them for me wwww

Jack showed us a picture of Yumamiya at Kobe Mosaic! And another one of Umeda station, which he said is "easy to go but super crowded!" LOL. And then he said for meals, they went to the shops above Yodobashi Camera, which he said "can always be counted on".

Jack showed us a picture of a red panda that he had taken! He said he brought 3 camera lenses - bouen lens (tele-lens), koukaku (magnifying) lens (long lens), tanshouten lens (single focus lens/prime lens). And Yumamiya ended up helping him carry his lenses, holding them when he changed lenses… in general being his camera assistant LOL.

The tele-lens is huuuuge and Jack doesn't usually get to use it besides taking photos of the moon so it was useful to take photos of the animals!

Asamaru uses macro lenses, Jack said they're interesting to use at first but there are really not many chances to use it.

Asamaru: it’s hard to use it for anything besides flowers…

Then... Jack showed us a picture of a hornbill… which pooped on Jack’s hat wwwww they had no tissue so Yumamiya used his mask as a substitute for the time being. wwwwww then an older guy who was nearby gave them wet tissue.

Asamaru said it happened to him with a crow when he was in elementary school ww

Jack's FLOWER TAIL topped the hourly rankings at this point in the stream!!!!! Jack was like, sasuga mayuge-chan wwww They were pretty shocked because he uploaded it so late.

Listeners who sent in gifts and messages for Jack asked if they could look forward to more Jack uploads and Asamack uploads! And both of them said that they have plans for an Asamack upload this year too.....!!!!!!!!
So many listeners also wrote that they were in disbelief and really happy when they heard about the CD announcement and the circle formation! ;-; And they said they’ve waited till their necks are so long wwwww

Asamaru: Jack kept saying “I’m gonna upload this year” and it kept never happening, and this year when he didn’t say he was gonna upload, he uploaded LOL

Asamaru: He’d say “I uploaded the other day!”... but “the other day” is “a year ago” with Ambivalence wwwwwww

Asamaru: Choucho had super lots of yaruki back then, she would sing a bunch of everything, and people upload on their anniversaries and birthdays… Back then it was like every week or so someone from Asamack would be uploading something.

Listener: Is Asamaru gonna upload a solo too...?

Jack: Eh, Marutan do you have anymore plans?

Marutan: Eh? I uploaded “the other day”...

Jack: ?????????? (Me: ??????????????????)

Marutan: Sayonara astronauts! w

Jack: Ah, souka (relieved sigh)

Marutan: but besides that I have plans to upload other things, just that work is really busy now so I'm going to have to record the two songs for the upcoming CD first then we'll see about it.

Jack says he's going to upload another thing by the end of this month! Marutan said Jack said he was gonna upload by the end of Feb but in the end Feb had already ended ww

And Marutan said he has the 2 songs from the CD! He can’t talk about them yet but it’s something amazing~

They're both so appreciative of Keito-san and Tama-san ;-; Jack showed us Keito-san's illustration & how it looks close up, it's a huge canvas and really detailed! And they said they wouldn't be able to do anything about goods without either of them ;;

On the night of the 25th? Jack asked Keito-san about the illustration and she said she wasn't done yet, and she said it would be done by morning the next day, so he was like ?!? are you not gonna sleep?!?!

And the next day at around noon? she sent the complete work to him and he was like ?!?!? did you stay up drawing this all the way since last night?!?!?

Listener: that level of focus is incredible

Asamaru: We want to make clothes under our circle brand!

Jack: Let’s do it.

Asamaru: Everyone was really up for the idea, when we met up we talked about how we wanted them to look… it’ll definitely have pockets www we’ll pay for them out of our own pockets, and we’ll design it ourselves~ It’ll be expensive though. Parka or tshirt prints alone will cost 3000 to 6000, it depends on the order number. And if we order too much in bulk, we need to pay a lot as the downpayment first too… But we’ll do what we can to the best of our ability! We need to have something that will look good on both guys and girls, and now that oversized clothes are an option we might want to do it.

Jack: Ah,,, this time when I went out with Yumami, he was wearing an oversized long coat and he really looked like an okosama (a kid) wwwww

Asamaru talked about how if they used fixed sizes it would be complicated…

Asamaru: When i wear parkas it’s like a coat or a long cardi wwwww. Designing clothes is really difficult! I like graphic shirts so I kinda wanna make one… anyway, this will be left to our design department right www

Jack: Yea, our design department---

Jack showed us a picture of Yumamiya in his oversized coat HAHAH.

Asamaru: Recently beige and brown are a nice coordination

Asamaru: It looks like a kid’s bathrobe wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww over-sugi-sized.

Anyway, if we make clothes, please buy them~ though I think they will be expensive…

Jack: Please buy them to ease the burden on our wallets...

Listener: What do Asamakkuyumayu want to do?

Jack: What’s… Asamakkuyumayu wwww
Asamaru: Probably Yumamiya? wwww

Asamaru: Ah, we've actually discussed this

Jack: Yeap yeap

Asamaru: Asamakkuyumami.......(voice trails off) eh is it okay for me to say that name

Jack: Ah, we actually haven't announced our members huh? w

(both of them spent some time trying to decide whether they could announce their members because not everyone has confirmed yet)

Jack:

Members of At Malletto!!

Vocals: Asamack, Yumamiya, Tourai

Illustrator Department: Keito, Tama

ft. Nobi-chan, Mayuge (our cheer squad!)

Listeners:We knew it wwwwww

Asamaru: Nobi is our shachou, Mayuge is advertising team

Asamaru: (of Nobimayu) They're our game bumon (game department) wwwwww

Jack: WHAT GAME BUMON WWWWWWWW

Asamaru: Ah, Enoa-san too~

Jack: (dying with laughter over the idea of a GAME BUMON)

Asamaru: wwwwwwwwwwww

Listeners: They were all the members we expected w

Asamaru: There’s one more person…. Can I say that name...?

Jack: Who???!?!?!

Asamaru: (typing)

Jack: Ah dame dame akan akan, I think that one might be impossible... ww we'll announce it properly next time.

Asamaru: But in general this is how the circle will look like, with maybe one or two more people~

Asamaru: This is a group we created for games, but … ww it’s something fresh for us! We decided to try things like Natsukomi, Fuyukomi, so we talked about it at the end of the year and decided to properly create a circle together.

Everyone's saying they really want to see Keito-san & Tama-san's collaborations.......... Asamaru noted that Keito and Tama have different styles so it’ll be really interesting to see how they collab.

Asamaru: There really are a lot of stuff we wanna do~ We'll do them freely as we wish!

Jack: Seems like there are lots of things we can do!

Jack: We ended up introducing the members of our circle, huh www (they lost track of the original qn)

Asamaru: We've been talking about what we want to do. We don't have a fixed idea yet but there are lots of possibilities... Asamack, Yumami, Tourai… of course, a collab between Tourai and Yumamiya, probably a song together?

Jack: I’ve collabed with everyone, but that’s not the case for everyone else

Asamaru: Different collaborations? I haven't collaborated with Yumamiya yet, and I haven't collabed with Tourai either...?

Jack: The other three besides me probably can do a lot of things

Asamaru: After 8 years there’s really a lot of things we can do

Jack: We’ve also talked about a Nobimayu duet

Asamaru: wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

(rfdn, in the comments: THAT’S NOT HAPPENING)

Asamaru: Nobi-chan can practice the cajon … cajon debut

Jack: By the way, Tama-san is currently RT-ing seals on Twitter

Asamaru: What wwwwwww

Tama (in the comments): It’s healing

Asamaru: Basically, though I don't have much self-confidence, but if it's with this circle, I feel like we can do anything. (nandemo dekiru) there's a lot of things we can do...

Jack: Let's go let's go

Asamaru: I’m excited

They somehow went slightly off-track and started talking about ituki-san (the Asamack blog admin) who's been maintaining the Asamack museum & the Asamack calendars for both of their & all their listeners' sakes...! Then they wrapped up the stream~
