[Hikari's Izakaya Diary] Into December, and a Golden V Awards Nomination 2023/12/3

Nominated for the 2023 Golden V Awards - Best Male VTuber of the Year

Yeah, so — turns out I had absolutely no idea the shortlist was being announced that day. I woke up from a nap in the afternoon and saw a message from SODA子 saying I'd made it. Still half-asleep, it genuinely felt like checking exam results. And just like that, carrying love, courage, and hope with me, I got nominated for Best Male VTuber of the Year at this year's Golden V Awards. Huge thanks to SODA子 for handling the submission, to the rest of the team, and of course to all of you who've been supporting Hikari all along.

There's already a ton of discussion out there about the Golden V Awards, so I won't rehash it. I just want to say — having an event like this is genuinely a huge plus for the whole VTuber community, and I'm grateful to everyone who put in the time and money to make it happen. Everyone involved is amazing, and every single VTuber who entered is amazing too. Getting nominated feels like a real validation for me, but what actually makes this event shine is everyone in this community working hard every day. Really looking forward to the awards ceremony.

That incredible massage place in Da Lat, Vietnam — Ớt Care

Why am I suddenly posting a photo of a massage place... because lately I've just been craving an aromatherapy massage so badly, but they're so expensive here. This place was hands-down the most memorable massage I had in Vietnam — gorgeous, cozy interior, and an hour-long session cost around 300 TWD... there's just no way you'd find service like that in Taiwan. I really want to go back to Vietnam right now QQ. Honestly, it's been way too long since I properly went abroad for a vacation. If I could, I'd leave Taiwan right this second and fly somewhere nobody knows me... Hang in there a little longer, Hikari! So tell me — if you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?
