During anime expo 2020, I was walking out of the Marriott hotel when all of a sudden Terashima Takuma walked passed me. we almost bumped shoulders. It was packed with otakus and the way I recognized him was by his voice. I’m assuming he was talking with his manager or something but literally after dodging him so I wouldn’t bump into him, I heard his voice and froze. I just stared at him as he went into the hotel and was debating whether or not I should chase him and ask for an autograph. With all the pain in my heart, I decided not to since we were surrounded by otakus. if someone saw him signing an autograph for me, a mob of otakus would consume him for sure. Some kind stranger though asked if I was okay because apparently I was standing in the middle of the sidewalk with my mouth open www I told them who I saw and they immediately started freaking out . Thank God I decided not to do anything. Kanae and Kuzuha are right for being scared. It only took one word for me to recognize a VA. I was nice enough to sacrifice my fangirling urges but you never know when someone scary decides to disrespect your privacy. I hope they continue to be safe
You made the right decision I think, at the end of the day voice actors are still just people. Though in that kind of situation I'd probably have cried😂 Terashii is kind and if it was at an area without many otakus, imo it would be fine to go ask for a signature, though some say it's best to not bug them.
tbh I would’ve asked him for that autograph since it’s a once in a lifetime chance to see celebrities you admire irl. your decision is commendable though. I’m sure he would appreciate it if he knew!
Literally meee, if ever i would be in that situation, i would just conceal all the fangirling inside me rather than letting it all out bc i just know, swarm of fans could hurt or make the artist uncomfortable (i wouldnt know what to do anyways, go pANIK mode) ; u ; but fr i would just faint or hyperventilate when i see the artist i really adore lol www and by the time im alone or with a friend, thats when i go nuts HAHAHAHA
What I realized on the other day when Kanae was streaming his cooking in twitcast was that, I can differentiate his voice in distance and when it close to mic and how he was during morning or when he is in high tension.. and it hits me that If I can do that... some other ppl probably thousands could probably do it too.... and I'm worried for him
when kanae said how it was scary to even talk in public it made me realize how distinct both kanae and kuzuha's voices are, it must be so nerve-wracking
it's really hard to go on public if your voice is that recognizable, quite scary to imagine if they we're really recognized and exposed, for once this pandemic has helped vtubers feel a little safe from the public's eye, thank you masks!
It's hard to eat together with your closest friend and not talking at all because someone might overheard your voices and worst is to immediately know who you really are!
There would always be a price of the fame yet it isn't what you look like, especially Vtubers I will always hope for the best for them, publicly and privately; and hopefully the fans would respect their privacy
Must be really tough to not speak because you don't want to be recognized. Yeah mask is truly the best thing you can wear to hide your face, thanks to the *current world event,* we all can hide our face without being suspicious xD Lesson learned if you want to accidentally meet Kanae or Kuzuha never talks about Vtubers in public or even wear their merch, like Kanae said when he's on train lol
Compared to nijisanji girls (except some with unique nuances such as Himawari and Sasaki), Nijisanji boys' voices are very easily recognizable. And the fact that their voices might not change much on and off screen do make me understand their fears of being noticed. Fame do comes with a price, hm
afaik, keeping their identities isolated and unknown is part of the contract. violate it and they're fired. even if they may not be completely inconvenienced by having their other identities revealed, it won't take long for some stalkers to find out about the other people who happen to interact with the IRL person. the contract protects the privacy of everyone.
@@LeraEluna not really lol. it depends cause there are vtubers like Inuyama Tamaki, whose irl identity everyone knows and it's not like he's hiding it either...
That must be really stressful... especially since Kanae is known for not changing his voice at all when he streams and I think they said kuzuha only changes his voice very minimally...
Imagine being a worker at a restaurant/department store etc and not knowing you have met your favourite vtubers in your daily life at such places. The pain of us fans.
and the fact that they were together too... recognizing one of their voices is like "ok maybe..." but if both of them were to talk together it would be a dead giveaway how scary
i think that no matter how much u like them, if u notice them in public then its best not to call them out. because we’re not just fans of normal celebrities etc. we’re vtuber fans and we’re not supposed to see their real self it might be hard but if u do happen to meet one then pls try ur best just to pretend not to know them :)
I'll definitely identify who's talking even if it's quite far away from me. If it's Kanae, I'll probably walk right away without stealing glances, at the same time try not to squeal in public LOLOLOLOL XD
When I tell you that my soul would've left my body if I somehow found out I was sitting near a couple of (my favorite) vtubers while talking about vtubers?? They wouldn't have to worry about their identity being found out bc I'd die right then and there from the shock 😂😂
i totally get them. i can recognize people by just how they cough or maybe sneeze. and it's totally scary i can recognize them 💀 i make it a note to not even make any noises around people so they wouldn't recognize me..
@@meowblaziken5634 I'm not trying to say Japan fan is scary, but the amount of fans are mostly from japan. They can come to my country and I believe they wont get recognized bc most ppl doesnt even know what vtuber is.
tbh kuzuha's voice is very unique i'll probably recognize his voice in public :((( i hope if anyone recognize it u have to stay silent and keep their privacy
Some of the vtuber voices are really easy to distinguish because the way they talk is unique, just like with kanae. Also if you've been watching them for awhile, it will be easy to spot them irl. That must've been so scary ww I can just imagine their reaction
They're voice is really recognizable One time I was watching a most watch valorant plays then i recognized kanae's voice. I was like this person's voice is really familiar i've heard it somewhere then i looked at sage name and guess what it's kanae playing with spygea
i have been kpop stan for years and i can recognise idols just from their breathing and im starting to develop it with vtubers to, its weird and it does happen. If i have that ability others may too and im scared for the vtubers security because of that
