Utaite:
ASK @ask_t
Aomofu @aomofu2

featuring Yumamiya @yu_mamiy and
special mention to Faneru /mylist/2282103

First things first:
Aomofu: We've sent the items that are going to be available thorugh mail order to the BOOTH warehouse - the Asuneru book, the ASK and Yumamiya image accessories, and the AsEver tote bag. If all goes well, they will be ready for purchase earliest next week! At the very latest it'll be the following week~
ASK: I'm not applying for Natsukomi this year!! Because I'll be really busy, AsEver won't be participating.
(part of my brain: that doesn't mean he can't take part with another circle COUGH ROGERO CRAS COUGH)

Birthday plans
Because his birthday is coming up, lots of listeners were asking if he was going to upload and if he had any plans.

Listener: Any plans for a birthday upload?

ASK: I don't know if I'll have time, I haven't had much time for music lately.

Listener: Are you planning to do a housou on your birthday?

ASK: LOL I'm working as usual on my birthday

Listener: what about a drinking nama

ASK: I don't drink alcohol wwww

Listener: it's okay if you drink tea or milk w

Listener: ASK who do you go drinking with?

ASK: I don't go LOL

Aomofu: What about when you go for like, bounenkai parties or stuff

ASK: I don't drink LOL if I drink, I can't drive

He said he wants to go to the onsen for his birthday.

Listener: Go to the onsen with Yumamiya...!

Aomofu: Oh he's gone before

ASK: Yeah we've gone together before

ASK:
ASK: Hold on I didn't go with Yumamiya wwwwwwwwww

Aomofu:
Aomofu: oh yeah you're right, you didn't go with Yumamiya wwwww
Listeners: (dying of laughter)

Then he said maybe he should do an event where he reads serifu or says things for a fee...

And listeners started thirsting over him in the comments omfg ()

Listener: I want to be scolded by ASK ()

Eventually he was like "such an event, I'M NOT DOING IT!"

Regarding uploads

Listener: Do you have any plans for an collab or a solo douga soon....

ASK: I think there's a collab... But I can't say who with and what song 🤔

Listener: Any plans for a solo live?

ASK: A one man live........? I don't think so... I'm a salaryman so it's gonna be hard gathering staff and finding time and money for it...

Listener: Won't you sing Otome Kaibou?

ASK: Otome Kaibou... I haven't heard it

Aomofu: Tourai sang it!!

ASK: Oh, yeah, I listened to that.

Listeners asked for him to sing Ambivalence and Aomofu said that would be interesting to listen to!

ASK said whether he covers songs really depends on whether he wants to do it, if he wants to do it he'll do it.

Because it's a hobby, he wants to have fun with it, and he shouldn't (and doesn't want to) put his hobby over his own work.

Listeners said we'll wait as long as we need, like those who waited 9 years for Jack ()

"ASK = Olympics"

One listener wrote "Compared to that period of time where you were completely silent, your level of activity now is already miraculous to me."

...He also joked about disappearing together with the Heisei era... again... =A=

On Chang Gero Sonic 2019:

ASK: for all the Chang Gero Sonic performers, the songs we'll be performing have already been uploaded in the past. The songs we chose are songs that are associated with "us" 😊

Aomofu: when you start singing "I~~~~ma~~~~" people are going to go "AGAIN?!?!?!"

ASK: I sang nothing but Tengaku at lives last year 😇 (Linn, with Feeling: ASSHOLE.)

Aomofu: My image of Kogeinu now has become... animals... because he keeps going wai wai in Kanjou no Pixel.

Listeners: Will kansaigumi gather at CGS...?

ASK: Will kansaigumi get together? Eh...... Faneru....? I don't know... It was really surprising that he came last year, right? I haven't heard anything from him. It's so far for him too, coming from Kumamoto...

Listeners: Is Yumamiya coming?

ASK: Ah Yumami...... I don't know either, I think he might not, I don't think he wants to stand on a live stage...

Aomofu: Because he's an engineer right

ASK: Even though he came as a secret guest for last year's countdown live, but he was invited for that...

ASK: Also it's really far for him and I don't know if he'll have free time from work.

Listeners: If he comes, he'll be coming all the way from southern Russia/the fire country/the mountain

They had to cut off the stream after around 1.5 hours and restarted it, where they spent another 20 minutes trying to stop stray noises from being picked up for some reason...

The camera was also acting up, so the listeners were entertaining ourselves in the comments while waiting for ASK to figure out what was wrong.

(camera goes wonky): 'Camera "Ah, I'm tired, I don't wanna work anymore"'
(camera starts working): 'Camera "Jeez I don't have a choice, I gotta work"'
(noise disappears): 'Noise "I'll be back next time~"; 'Noise "I'm going off!"'
(noise comes back):

'Noise "I was kidding!"'
'Noise "I'm back ♡"'
'Noise "Let's get married ♡"'
'Noise "You can't escape ♡"'
'Noise "I'm still here ♡"'
'Noise "I want to listen to karaoke too"
"Noise loves ASK and Aomofu too"
"Noise has become a fan too."
"The noise's intention of going back to where it came from is overwhelmingly non-existent."
(Yes, the fans were having a ball of a time. Sasuga kosan fans...)

After they fixed it, they started the karaoke properly!

During the actual karaoke... (which went on for 3 hours and was 90% Japanese oldies, so I didn't bother with a set list):
- ASK sang a super old song and a listener said it was 17 years old, so someone else said "It's as old as ASK-san!?" "ASK-san was singing as a baby?!" "Baby ASK-san?!" "A(ka-chan)SK?" ... it was really grass.
- He sang Jougen no Tsuki, but before the music started he said in his SUPER IKEBO, Romeo. Aomofu burst out laughing because right after he said it, the song started. What timing.

Notable songs!
ASK
- Jougen no Tsuki
- Uchiage Hanabi with Aomofu
- Karakuri Pierrot (all his listeners noted that it's really rare for him to cover this song! He sang it so beautifully ;-;)

Aomofu
- Uchiage Hanabi with ASK
- Watashi to Waltz wo
- Just be Friends

ASK: (before Uchiage Hanabi) Oh yes... Yumamiya sang this. That guy sang it all by himself because he said he couldn't find anyone to sing it with.
Aomofu: So he sang it as a bocchi.

ASK: (after Uchiage Hanabi) By the way, all the "la~ lalala~ la~ la~~" harmonies in the Mind Cluster version of Uchiage Hanabi were /me/. Kogeinu only sang the three highest notes. Everything else was /me/.

Aomofu: I see LOL
