Noticing the SNS temperature gap through a mikan match post while on the Ehime tour

Ponpoko and Peanuts-kun are midway through Kairan-ban (回覧版), a nationwide live-event tour, and recorded this episode late on a Monday night from Ehime Prefecture. Ponpoko kicked things off by praising Ehime's nabeyaki udon — served bubbling in an aluminium pot in a style that reminded her of school-lunch canteens — as her absolute highlight of the trip. The soft noodle texture sealed the deal.

The main topic, however, was a jarring revelation about social media. While in Ehime, Ponpoko photographed Mikan no Match, a local citrus carbonated drink, and posted it to Twitter. The replies flooded in: "Welcome to Ehime!" and "Enjoy all things mikan!" — warm, welcoming, personal. She then posted the same content to the YouTube Community tab. The response there was entirely different: "They sell this in Shiga too," "It's a national product — not that I'll mention that," and "You can get it at Daiso." Ponpoko was genuinely shocked. "I had been calibrating audience temperature using Twitter," she said, "and I was completely wrong."

Peanuts-kun offered an analysis: replying on Twitter feels like speaking directly to the person who posted, so commenters instinctively reach for warmth and encouragement. A YouTube Community post, by contrast, feels like addressing an audience of strangers sitting alongside you — the natural impulse shifts toward sharing information or offering corrections. Ponpoko laughed it off: "I didn't know Twitter was spoiling me. Please keep spoiling me."

The two also touched on Twitter's timeline options. Peanuts-kun has switched from the Recommended feed to the Following feed and finds it far more comfortable — only accounts he deliberately chose appear, which he says lets him trust his own taste. Ponpoko sticks with Recommended, leaving the pair at an impasse.

K-Arena Yokohama, Cock Fes, and the Mirai Next Meshi remix

The day before arriving in Ehime, Peanuts-kun performed at Cock Fes (コックフェス), a festival at K-Arena Yokohama organised by Touya-kun (トウヤくん). The lineup alongside him included Kuzuha (葛葉), Hoshimachi Suisei (星街すいせい), and Momoya-kun (桃也くん) — Peanuts-kun started to call the four of them a "heavenly quartet" before immediately walking the comment back.

He had almost declined because the date fell the day after a Kairan-ban tour show. Touya-kun, however, pushed hard, telling him the event simply would not work without him, and that sincerity was enough to change his mind. On stage, Peanuts-kun performed a remix of his collaborative track "Mirai Next Meshi" (ミライネクストメシ) with Yanagawa Miyuki (柳川みゆき). Yanagawa had prepared a brand-new beat for the occasion, so Peanuts-kun rewrote the lyrics before stepping out. The morning after the festival he flew straight to Ehime and performed the Kairan-ban show the same day.

Announcement: Poko-P Planetaria (from November 19)

The episode's biggest news is Poko-P Planetaria (ぽこピープラネタリア): Konica Minolta Planetarium in Yurakucho, Tokyo will be fully taken over for five days beginning November 19, with ten screenings per day. The visual work was produced by Tanaka Kensetsu (田中建設), and a simultaneous screening inside VRChat is also planned. Tickets went on sale October 17, the same day the episode dropped. Ponpoko revealed she has been looking for a route into Konica Minolta for several years, and described the full use of a planetarium as something only a VTuber could pull off. Collaboration cafes are currently running in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Kobe.

IKEA, takkamari, and Kamunii's heroic chocolate eating

Ponpoko visited IKEA's Tsurumi store in Osaka for the first time in a while with a friend, noting that the one-way floor layout is essentially the same psychological trick as television shopping. As usual, she left with only small items. Peanuts-kun agreed that he always means to upgrade his room but never quite gets there, and both admitted their apartments will probably never be fit to show another person.

Afterward, a friend cooked takkamari (たっかんまり) — Korean-style whole-chicken hot pot — at home, which left Ponpoko genuinely amazed that someone could manage that dish in a domestic kitchen. She also shared a story about Kamunii (カムニー) eating an astonishing quantity of chocolate-covered snacks she had brought as a gift.
