English Translation of Matthew’s After-Show Chat (From ):Thank you for watching. That was my vocal cover of Ambivalent by Uru-san.The anime “Apothecary Diaries” is super interesting, don’t you think?(Caption says “I’m going to talk!”)I watch Netflix a lot. The anime kept appearing as recommendations on my Netflix. Like forever! I thought I must watch it, but work kept me busy and all, and I wasn’t able to. I spent hectic days. Before I knew it, three months had passed. Oh, it’s the new year, I thought.I listen to music on YouTube Music when I go out, the other day when I was out, Uru-san’s Ambivalent came on. What a great song, I thought. I googled it and found out it was the theme song to the anime. I said to myself. This is it! This is the moment I should watch the anime!! It’s now or never! And I started watching it, and I couldn’t stop, I watched the all episodes available at once. Non-stop. Time flew. Time melted away. (Matthew laughs.)The protagonist Maomao is an apothecary. She prepares medicines. Things happened and Maomao ended up working at the rear palace of the Imperial Palace. She meets the eunuch Jjinsi-sama who is in a high position. The story evolves in whatever ways… You know the story is of course very interesting. (The caption says “Of course, it is”) But the animation drawings are superb! It’s extremely beautiful. The heroine Maomao has freckles on her face. She calls herself ugly in the story. (The caption explains the word “shikome” meaning ugly-looking woman.) There is a scene in the story where Maomao puts on make-up. The made-up Maomao is so cute! (Caption says “The name Maomao is cute as well, don’t you think?”) They say girls are transformed by makeup. It was so true for Maomao. Jinshi-sama saw Maomao with makeup on, and he sort of swooned. I put on some makeup for this video shoot. When I put on makeup, I feel stronger. Like I became a new me. It gives you confidence. (The caption says “Makeup is armor, it fortifies you.”)Now, talking about a new me, (the caption says “Suddenly, he dives into an advertisement.”) I’m diving into an advertisement. Look! You know, I recently debuted as a V-tuber. I used to be just “Matthew”, but I renamed myself “Matthew Shiragami” with a surname. This is the V-tuber image of myself. I’m working with this body. Don’t you think it’s nice? It’s cool, right? Even though I became a V-tuber, I am not done with posting these vocal covers or anything. It’s rather, my range of activities expanded! I can do a lot more than before. From now on, I am going to be providing you guys with lots of entertainment being a 2.5-dimensional V-tuber. Recently, using this V-body, I’ve been streaming games, doing singing streams, or doing some projects on YouTube Live. You must come join me in the chats! (“DO COME!!”) (Matthew laughs.) I digressed, but I will continue my musical and other activities in that body, I hope you’ll continue to watch my progress. Do you have a favorite V-tuber you want to recommend? Please share it in the comments section. Also, I’d like to hear your thoughts on Apothecary Diaries, too. If you can leave any comments, that would make me very happy.Please subscribe, Like, and turn on the bell so that you won’t miss my uploads. Until next time, I’m Matthew Shiragami, bye-bye. Matthew Shiragami’s nickname is “Soncho” (village chief). I’m the head of the Shiragami village.
