This video's kinda long, so there are more translation notes to talk about compared to other videos. In addition, the outro of this video has a link to Jin Teramachi's highlight reel if you haven't seen it yet. Also, this video has a bonus scene at the end. Expand for the TL Notes. First off, Okayu's English isn't great, and she mispronounces "Among Us." I thought about writing "Amongst Us" as a mistake, but I figured it was more natural to show that she just didn't know how to pronounce it, rather than showing that she got it confused with a different word. Around 2:22, Okayu mentions Pekora saying "THAT CAT!!" In actuality, it was "THIS CAT!!" but whatever. I thought about writing "THIS DAMN CAT!!" or "THAT DAMN CAT!!" instead to showcase a more aggressive Pekora, but since I linked Jin's highlight video, I wanted to keep my translation consistent with his. 3:02, Okayu actually says that she thinks she herself shut the doors, but in actuality, it was Nene. I think Okayu just slipped up here, so I changed the line to fit with what actually happened. As an additional note, you guys should watch Nene (or Nene clips if you can't watch her actual streams), she's incredibly fun. I hope Okayu does more collabs with Nene. At 7:36, Okayu says 八方塞がり (happoufusagari), which means to be corned and all paths blocked off. I decided that a good matching phrase was "having your back up against the wall," though saying that Towa was cornered would work as well. Speaking of Towa, I struggled a bit with whether or not to leave "ArigaTowa" in. On one hand, it's a Japanese pun, I thought I should translate it. So the first thing I came up with was "Towa Maji Thanks," but that still had "Maji" in it, so I then changed it to "Towa Mad Thanks." But that had the issue of being a reference to the Towa fanbase's TMT phrase, which Okayu was not making a reference to. I figured the complete localization was kinda funny, but in the end, made it harder to get. Even though it's a Japanese pun, I think a lot of westerners, even those who aren't enamored with Anime-esque culture, know what "arigatou" means. My final TL Note is more of a little joke. Whenever I name my rough drafts, I always make a stupid joke name for them. In this video's case, it was "Local porridge cat recounts horrifying space murder fever dream." One of my QCs asked me to include a note about this somewhere because they found it amusing, so yeah.
She has the equivalent of a poker face but with her voice. Even english viewers can see (hear) that much. It really is hard to decipher what shes lying about
Alot of people have been learning from VTubers and some study tools like hiragana/katakana pro and kawaiinihongi apps. It's good to start asap because it takes a long time to truely understand. Jisho iirc is a english to jp dictionary site for kanji as well. It may take 6months to 2years but I believe Okayu is one of the best to study from because her sentences are pretty simple and she doesn't use alot of slang. You just need to learn how to read on a basic level and everything else will come from watching vtubers.
@@juanraden For phone these work for me. Have Audio on and repeat it when you answer them. You'll start remembering them in no time.

Just play hiragana/katakana for 20-30mins a day at first. Once you memorized ether hiragana or katakana, make sure you go over that one completely each day while working on the other so you don't forget. Simple rule: Hiragana is used for japanese words Katakana is used for foriegn words. Both are pronounced the same by alphabet but needed to learn Kanji.
Okayu is so precious. And it's true what she's saying, I was watching Noel's stream and the smooth kills came out of nowhere, wholesome Danchou was ice cold lol. Thanks for the TL!
Really have to thank Towa for spreading the Among Us fever among Hololive, although I'm not sure if some of them have already started playing on their own by then. In any case, watching Hololive play Among Us has been incredibly entertaining, definitely wishing more collabs to come.
Before the Taiwan fiasco, Coco was thinking about organizing Among Us, but someone spread a rumor that the game leaks IPs. After things calmed down on that rumor, the HoloStars actually organized a collab first. Coco might've been the one to start it in Hololive if not for her 3 week suspension, but no one can know for sure now (except them, I guess).
Okayu playing Among Us is really great! Because it's like my favorite game for now, and seeing them think made it so fun compared to the lobbies in among us, it was really fun to watch her among us stream ww
I've been calling Among Us Werewolves in Space like since it became the fun meme game and only one of my friends (Who coincidentally I've played a lot of werewolves with) has agreed with it, so I'm glad Okayu has completely vindicated my take
Most of the Hololivers called impostors werewolves and crewmates villagers. So yeah. It also helps that a lot of the Hololivers have played werewolf on stream.
Okayu normally doesn't remember things very well. The fact that she remembered the matches in such vivid detail showed how much she enjoyed playing Among Us.
Thanks for the tl!!! It's really great to know her thoughts when playing the game xD One trick into lying splendidly though is to be damn confident about it! ;) Act like you came from a parallel world where your lie is the truth •v- ~ //One of the things I learned here though is that we got towa to thank for in hooking the others into playing Among us >w
she could pulled that one nasty trick that moistcr1tik4l did, 2 people in security, 1 of them watching cctv and then he vented from med bay, killed one then vent back to medbay
Okayu's right that Noel was the real shock as a super-detective, and I say that as a big-time Noel fan. People expect Suisei to solve crimes from the dark side like Hannibal Lecter, and Botan is the Choco-confirmed mega-brain of Hololive conducting meetings like Hercule Poirot, but Noel was just as effective as them as her normal, sweet and gentle-sounding persona. Like Angela Lansbury in _Murder She Wrote,_ if she were also a secret spree killer like Dexter
6:00 Towa was wrong about that though. That's how the game can be played. Successful players do that exact thing. (I'm totally not referencing a certain cyan player who disguises himself). It's a lot harder to do with say a public game, but with friends, that's exactly people get sussed out. Heck, you could totally do that to a lesser extent with other games. But Among Us REALLY lets people do that type of analysis.
Most of the players referred to crewmates as villagers, and impostors as werewolves (even Mio). That's because they had the werewolf game as reference. There are instances where Hololive played the Werewolf game. It's totally possible that when the game was explained to them, the werewolf game was used to explain the whole concept of Among Us.
Now this makes me want to search up what the Nijisanji crew thought of their own games... Also... The game: impostOOOOOOOOOOOOr A lot of editors adding subtitles: impostEEEEEEEEEEEEEEr I know that both spellings are good, but seeing them in this context just makes me want to shock whoever is writing the subs...
Metagaming is any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself. Metagaming in Among Us comes in various forms. For example, saying you are not a con artist and asking other players to confirm it. Or it could be that the players have the task of taking care of other players while doing the task. The goal is to make sure a player does the task or not.
So can someone shed a light on me about this "meta talk" that Okayu were talking about? Is that really not okay in this game though? This is the first time I heard about rules like that :o I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering whether it is some kind of like internet rules or common sense or cultural thingy or what, because I never thought about saying things like that were off-limits
Likely just some house rules that Towa set up. It's possible that she thought saying things like "that person isn't imposter this round because they've been imposter 3 games in a row, so it's really unlikely it's them again" would be boring/unfun. In the end they did A LOT of meta talk anyway (the entire argument Pekora had against Noel was based on meta arguments), so they probably came around to it. I haven't been following up with the more recent Among Us games, but it's probably not off limits in their games.

Arigatowa for the translation and TL notes.
The translator notes are always so cool!
This is some cool insight!
Yeah, you can just leave the pun as it is. And just put some translator note for details
That Towa defense "I'm your Senpai!" was really funny. I genuinely laughed when she played that card rofl
It really shows how much she enjoyed it that she went back and watched the others' perspective.
Okayu is a really good storyteller, isn't she. She's really good at describing everything.
Okayu lies as easily as she breathes.
And we love this cat for it.
but shes too cute so i have no idea whether shes lying to my face or not
KONO NEKO!!!!
She has the equivalent of a poker face but with her voice. Even english viewers can see (hear) that much. It really is hard to decipher what shes lying about
@@Yarumasi i think its not poker face, she is like griffin before become a demon king
It's really amusing to see what was going through her head during the collab.
I love Okayu's personality the most, too bad I can't understand Japanese at all.

I really want a Botan x Okayu collab after seeing them in Among Us. They just feel like they'd be a good pair.
Dang her voice has an older sister vibe. Quite soothing. Never noticed until this clip. Super chill.
Totally, her voice is what I listen for. Silky soft and smooth.
Okayu is so precious. And it's true what she's saying, I was watching Noel's stream and the smooth kills came out of nowhere, wholesome Danchou was ice cold lol. Thanks for the TL!
Well, she IS a knight. Probably not the first time she's killed.
Look, I haven't even gotten through 10 seconds of the video, but...
She said "Amonz Us" why is that so freaking cute I wanna cry a little
I just love listening to Okayu's calm and cool voice.
that arigaTowa' caught me off guard tho...
wasnt expecting a pun coz of the chill, calming way she talks .
Incidentally, Okayu loves dumb jokes and puns like that, as does Korone. That's actually what she talks about next in the source video!
Really have to thank Towa for spreading the Among Us fever among Hololive, although I'm not sure if some of them have already started playing on their own by then.
In any case, watching Hololive play Among Us has been incredibly entertaining, definitely wishing more collabs to come.
Before the Taiwan fiasco, Coco was thinking about organizing Among Us, but someone spread a rumor that the game leaks IPs.
After things calmed down on that rumor, the HoloStars actually organized a collab first. Coco might've been the one to start it in Hololive if not for her 3 week suspension, but no one can know for sure now (except them, I guess).
@@Pentaoku can't wait for Coco and Haachama to join in the Among Us collab. :D
Nene are indeed cute, its something to do in her accent, its kinda actualy pure, this neko are very cultured 😌😌😌😌😌😌
Thanks for the great TL Penta, damn a 9 minutes vid mate you're doing great work ! local cat wants to make a local rabbit sus
her voice gives me the older sister vibes. just you and your older sister talking or something. smooth. and not that soft.
Noel really was warrior like, she went in for the kill and had real focus and determination.
Okayu playing Among Us is really great! Because it's like my favorite game for now, and seeing them think made it so fun compared to the lobbies in among us, it was really fun to watch her among us stream ww
can't imagine how's korone gonna react if she play among us with okayu ,,,,
HorayoHorayoHorayoHorayo!
Feel like Okayu can read Korone very well lmao
The last time Korone played a game like Among Us, she had trust issues after the game.
@@SolitaryObserver4yeah I think Korone said something like she doesn't want to play this kind of game anymore.
I've been calling Among Us Werewolves in Space like since it became the fun meme game and only one of my friends (Who coincidentally I've played a lot of werewolves with) has agreed with it, so I'm glad Okayu has completely vindicated my take
All social deduction games are literally the same. Just different flavors.
yeah it's just that, there is just a lot of people that never heard of werewolf or mafia
@@scxizm it's what's often called by JP people it seems. "Uchuu (space) Jinrou (werewolf) Game", or the like.
@@jjQlLlLq Social Deduction is the genre. Its the actual genre of these types of games.
Most of the Hololivers called impostors werewolves and crewmates villagers. So yeah. It also helps that a lot of the Hololivers have played werewolf on stream.
Danchou havin her Dark souls backstabbin skills
To be fair, after how much Danchou has hung with Flare, there's no way she wouldn't be good with words. Learned from the best after all.
Okayu normally doesn't remember things very well. The fact that she remembered the matches in such vivid detail showed how much she enjoyed playing Among Us.
Thanks for the tl!!!
It's really great to know her thoughts when playing the game xD
One trick into lying splendidly though is to be damn confident about it! ;) Act like you came from a parallel world where your lie is the truth •v- ~
//One of the things I learned here though is that we got towa to thank for in hooking the others into playing Among us >w
Yeah, Pekora has one of the best reactions of all of Hololive.
Uhh... She starts to learn about vision and Impostor advantages, this is sounds scary.
she could pulled that one nasty trick that moistcr1tik4l did, 2 people in security, 1 of them watching cctv and then he vented from med bay, killed one then vent back to medbay
This is an only Okayu channel? that´s awesome, listen to her talking makes me relax a lot...
Jin Teramachi is another Okayu focused channel.
Okayu mentioning both Towa and Botan play FPSes alot makes me hope the two of them collab for Apex or something.
I can relate to her getting stomach aches whenever she feels nervous/anxious. That feeling happens to me a lot lmao
Okayu's right that Noel was the real shock as a super-detective, and I say that as a big-time Noel fan. People expect Suisei to solve crimes from the dark side like Hannibal Lecter, and Botan is the Choco-confirmed mega-brain of Hololive conducting meetings like Hercule Poirot, but Noel was just as effective as them as her normal, sweet and gentle-sounding persona.

Thanks for translating ❤️
Love hearing afterthoughts.
Me when they say Amonz us: haha the accent
Me when they say Among Gas: *TRIGGERED*
Bruh 😂😂😂
Another translation channel. Nice
ArigaTowa!
I think I know why Noel is so good at debating.
6:00

I will start calling it "Amonz Us" from now on as well
okayuu as a imposter is scary
"THAT CAT!!"
i think its kinda fun she calls imposters "wolves"

There are instances where Hololive played the Werewolf game. It's totally possible that when the game was explained to them, the werewolf game was used to explain the whole concept of Among Us.
Wanna see korone play among us
ArigaTowa
Normal people: among us
Capsparkz: amongus
Okayu: amonz us
So there's many way to say it hmmm interesting
Now this makes me want to search up what the Nijisanji crew thought of their own games...
Also...
The game: impostOOOOOOOOOOOOr
A lot of editors adding subtitles: impostEEEEEEEEEEEEEEr
I know that both spellings are good, but seeing them in this context just makes me want to shock whoever is writing the subs...
Ayt if Towa sama did somethin cute or somethin that needs gratitude imma go ArigaTowa from now on
I'm just here mesmerized by Okayu's Bigface.
It takes up a third of the screen and that’s not enough
what is meta talk means?
I'm not sure myself, but based on the context I'm thinking maybe talking about any factors outside of the particular match that they are in?
Metagaming is any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself.
