She only had one letter in the wrong place and then she just descended into 5 minutes of Japanese phonetic spelling madness, I'm amazed she made it back to the right answer, haha
I can't believe I just spent 5 minutes watching a virtual girl watch another virtual girl's attempt to spell Puerto Rico multiple times for 4 and a half minutes. And every second was fcking worth it.
I love how Henya almost got it right at the beginning but then her Japanese Brain took over and then a struggle happened and her English Brain won the battle.
it's like that terrifying version of a truth serum where instead of revealing if you're lying, it makes everything you say the truth; it rewrites reality
This is very sweet. I love Henya's determination and Mousey's support here. Henya may have misspelled it like a billion times, but she didn't take "no" for an answer which I can respect. Here, Mousey's like some kind of motherly mentor. She genuinely believes that Henya will eventually find the correct spelling; never making fun of her in the process.
The thing about Puerto rican's is, we all love watching people attempting to spell something and getting it wrong, then popping off when they sucede Omg i just realized this was 8 months ago-
What Mouse is trying to say is that in Japanese the "U" vowel is often dropped when Romanizing it. For example the surname "Waltfeld" is Romanized as "WA-RU-TO-FE-RU-TO". Hence why Henya keeps moving the U and R around and why she adds L.
It's not like I'm complaining, but Mousey really be flexing her new model epic face expressions with how much I see her just suddenly get so close up in many clip lol
The funniest part about this is the japanese romanized spelling of Puerto Rico is two letters off from spelling in properly (プエルトリコ=pueruto riko) so all she really needed to do was spell it in katakana then romanize it to have a perfect place to start.
Honestly, working out how to spell Puerto Rico just from pronunciation (especially with you're mostly familiar with Japanese phonetics) is such a big brain move. Big ups to the bestest tea kettle!
For some reason, that reminded me of that village in Japan where they all decided to live exactly like in Sweden. It's called Sweden Hills (スウェーデンヒルズ, Suēden Hiruzu).

This reminds me of a time my buddy spent about as long trying to spell Gary Busey. Some highlights being Gary Bussy, Gary Busy, Gary Beanician, Garuly Bussieccy, and Gary Busney
Up here in Wisconsin, we have all kinds of fun city names. I come from a town called Ashwaubenon; I remember moving there in 3rd grade and it definitely took me a couple months of trying before I could get the spelling right. (My favorite city name here is Oconomowoc).
I went to Namekagon when I was a kid and had a heck of a time saying the city name correctly. It basically always came out as Name-ka-gone lol. I'm even part Native American but it's only on my dad's side so I never grew up around other people of my tribe.. only my grandfather did a little. But, even then...they were still really integrated into the rest of the community. The most he did was go to a school with other native kids when he was a kid up until he was maybe a teenager.
not only is this video lovely, but youtube has helpfully provided a link to watch Mousie lose her mind to THE POWAH OF RED COPPAH!!! for like the 37th time because like her, that video cracks me up.
The interesting thing here is she even had the Japanese name wrong. She thought it was プルエト(purueto) which was making her choose the pru spelling, but even the correct Japanese spelling is プエルト (pueruto) which is closer to the correct English spelling.
Henya's problem is that she's pretty accurate when she's just talking... But then she starts THINKING about it, and her brain is running in Japanese, and then it starts trying to use Japanese phonetics, which just do NOT work for this. Her own brain is working against her!
Henya is hilarious! Like, it's one thing to spell it wrong, it's totally another to come up with name after name after name... each one funnier than the last. I mean, c'mon, Phrhtto Rico?!?! I couldn't have come up with that in a million years! 😆
Henya practically grew up in the states and has an American father. I know she quit English in order to more easily learn Japanese when she moved back to Japan with her mother after the divorce, but...how much of this is her character I wonder? Like Ironmouse has often stated, her vtuber persona/character is a bit different from her everyday personality.
This one I’m pretty sure is a bit. And of course her personality is different everyday, everyone’s personality is different in different social contexts, and they’re performers on top of the whole online/IRL thing.
i don't get why people get so fixated on the "REAL" personality. bruh they're performing a character, if it's entertaining leave it at that. it's like people trying to debunk how magicians do their magic tricks, who cares? at the end of the day people had fun in the stream and liked the bit. looking to deep at vtubers doing their thing is so sad. what for? just enjoy funny cute animu grill doing animu things.
She’s said she’s forgotten most of her English until she started her online career I believe. It would make sense that this is actually her trying to guess Puerto Rico’s name because it’s Spanish, and only loosely related to English.
Her putting an h there after the p shows she has good listening. English speakers use a breath after some consonants including the letter P. Remove that breath after the p as an English speaker and your Ps will sound more like Spanish or Indian forms of P where they don't have the breath afterwards.
Reminds me of transcribing Korean without knowing the language, I just went for how the characters looked and got the rule of 2 and 3s of how they group into a single one. After some trial and error I got good at it 😅
Koreans are lucky in that they created a whole new character system from scratch relatively recently that fits their spoken language perfectly. English had entirely different script from Latin but the French got the printing press first and in order to save time and money... well eventually English was shoved into "Romanji" like a fat man in a child sized Halloween costume.
When henya figured it out and started celebrating was so damn cute, she's like the child of vtubers who just needs some help and guidance for certain things, haha
Mousie has more models than Picasso has names.

@@BladesmossYTnow sing that in the tone of freesia

and of course the reason she adds L is because R and L are the same in Japanese
Wouldn't the romazined version be WA RU TO FE RU DO since ど (do) exists?
