@@fareladtyp6679 She also held her trademark kettle laugh back, because she thought people would find it weird or something like that. Little did she know it would end up becoming one of her most beloved features.
In the beginning, her english speaking skills sounds a bit robotic and slow. She has improved a lot these past months! Also, I like how she begins her English sentences with donuts and then ends with donuts. Lol She has her priorities straight
her english accent has kinda gotten to be more similar to her japanese accent ya know? here her english accent is stiff. but shes gotten it to be the same more or less
If I'm not mistaken she said at some point that her voice gets lower when she's nervous and that the way she speaks nowadays is her more natural voice (I think?)
God she's so different than how she used to be! I'm honestly glad the doughnut gimmick is downplayed now - and deep voice pika kinda sounds weird honestly, just because it sounds like she's forcing it
Eh those are just vtuber debut general issues. There's always a need to give yourself some defining characteristics early on to give your audience something to anchor your identity. I am also glad she developed beyond this but I don't see anything wrong with how it all started.
Pika who? xD Friends? What is that? Can you eat them? Pikamee's deep voice when she speaks english, love it. It's like some people that I know, speaking with deep voice when they use English and high-pitch when speaking Japanese xD
I watched the whole debut stream and then the octodad series (yes, I'm a no-life), and I especially loved how at the time, I had enough jp under my belt to use the little bit of english she would speak as context clues to derive full meanings
Pikamee has always just given off that vibe of an older cousin or aunt for me so seeing her come so far from where she was is great. Ms. Pikamee "Teakettle" Amano, you never cease to make me laugh along with you.
We'll never know She used to say she stopped drinking and her drunk habit is bad enough she won't drink anymore yet we see her drinking casually after we all said we ok with it and she decide to hold drinking stream once We'll just have to wait my friend
Yeah the second I saw that making friends marshmallow my first thought was "based on what I remember of Pika's past you're asking the wrong person guy" and well her reaction sure backed that up.
I just started watching Pika a few weeks ago, and I the more I see of her, the more I want to -kidnap- adopt her and make a clone army. She's so frickin precious!
Joke's on you, I already rewatched it a few days ago, even though I only understood parts of it. Yeah, it's pure cringe, but still fun. She put on quite the performance, though, trying her best to entertain her audience, despite being incredibly nervous (though that probably was the case for her counterparts, too). She even created her own custom OP and ED, as if she knew this would make her stick out more. So much has changed since then. Hard to imagine she's come this far in a year.
Father of pika is native-english-speaker (military), and she can speak dialect-free english with a huge vocabulary, but mostly refuses to and keeps doing a slightly fricative-L and a very non-fricative-R (basically mixing up both letters in english randomly) every now and then.
anyone else impressed at the fact that although she spoke little English and the English said she did speak sounded very clear and without an accent? It's like she was born to speak 2 languages! Meanwhile here I am with my monolingual self... 😔😎
That's because she basically was, her dad is American and she was raised in Texas til she was 3 years old before going to Japan, she then went back to Texas for University.
How the heck did the dolphin laugh evolve into a tea kettle?? ........... *That is a question I just asked. Yep, I've been in the rabbit hole for a good long while.*
The number translation from Japanese to the universal is confusing cause we mostly use a thousand as a base till it reach a million. While in Japanese it's 1,0000 or "万(man)" equal Ten-thousand) until it comes to 1,0000,0000 or "億(oku)" a hundred-million(also the comma will be added every 4 digits instead of 3) So when it comes to counting. If it's 100,000 it will be "１０万" and 1,000,000 is "１００万"
VERY nervous. So much so, she suppressed her actual, high-pitched voice because she feared it wouid sound abnormal or weird to other people. She even avoided using her kettle laugh at the time for that reason.
How many times must this be stated already. There are girls whose more comfortable talking at a higher pitch. I dunno why but I do get the feeling that in predominantly English speaking countries, they speak with a much deeper voice. Must be an English speaking thing as I've heard even the most cutesy voiced of Japanese women that studied in the US to have deepened their voices when they returned home after studying there. This might be the case for Pikamee where when she first debuted her voice was deeper after living in the US for a while but as she naturally got accustomed as a streamer and how she usually talks to people in Japan with a higher pitch, she naturally started speaking with a higher pitch again. Japanese women are encouraged to sound higher pitched and cutesy and also shorter people for some reason are more likely to develop a high pitch voice while taller people develop deeper voices.
@swordking8624 On which stream/clip did she admit that? Cuz I recently watched her stream and she explained there that her current high pitched voice is not fake, and it's the way how she talks all the time. She used on purpose lower her voice cuz she thought that higher voice sounded weird.

wow, back then 90% of the chat audience was Japanese. Now it's completely the opposite
It feels closer to 50/50, though the Japanese viewers don't comment as much
Well we could say she now is wolrdwide (i saw some russians and spanish speaking fellas)
@@OmegaZX-kd8sm Yep, i'm russian and she was my entrance to the rabbit hole last year
I’m Taiwanese and I love Pikamee!!
@@OmegaZX-kd8sm yeah she was my favorite... before gawr gura arrived, I'm Mexican btw
the fact her voice is so deep in these early videos compared to her now adds so much charm to them lol
what's funny is this is her forced voice while her usual high pitch voice really is her normal voice
@@CSDragon i tought so too lol
@@CSDragon and in her debut voice, it's like she forced her laugh, yeah maybe because of nervous
@@fareladtyp6679 She also held her trademark kettle laugh back, because she thought people would find it weird or something like that.
Little did she know it would end up becoming one of her most beloved features.
@@AO968 yea
I can feel Pikamee cringing at this video while we're all enjoying her pain
"WHY IS YOUR VOICE DIFFERENT?!"
"My goal is... this one"
Good job on reaching it three times!
Inside pika brain: Translating juuman into english: Error, "Ten 10,000s is not normal english"
@@CSDragon i think she was just too embarassed to say it out loud.. and even after one year, she hasn't changed much lol
She's reached it 4 times over now.
7 times now

Hey Pika, how would you go about making friends?
Pika: *eye twitch*
I love how by the end of the stream you can tell she was more relaxed and she was already talking in her usual excited Pika voice.
Old voice Pika feels like such a long time ago...
Her english has improved so much since then
oh that was the deep voice Pikamee that singlehandedly dragged me to the rabbit hole
I bet she likes doughnuts because she plays horseshoe with her antenna.
her current voice is stupidly adorable but admittedly i do also wish she’d speak in her casual voice more, it was chill :y
If I'm not mistaken she said at some point that her voice gets lower when she's nervous and that the way she speaks nowadays is her more natural voice (I think?)
@@flamingspinach yeah she's mentioned this multiple times
This is her casual voice. Her debut voice was the forced one. She wanted to sound more normal
@@flamingspinach oh really? huh go figure
@@flamingspinach That's really really interesting, considering that for most people it's the opposite
God she's so different than how she used to be! I'm honestly glad the doughnut gimmick is downplayed now - and deep voice pika kinda sounds weird honestly, just because it sounds like she's forcing it

@@RedRoomDisco I agree. Positive change is a sign of progress after all
Sometimes I kinda miss deep voice Pika in chit-chat streams but the high pitch Pika is too iconic
weird comment considering that's her natural self
Idk why but I love the way she says "any questions"
Pikamee-sensei.
Debut Pika: *dolphin noise laugh*
Today Pika: *KETTLE*
Those early VOMS wonky eyes just hit different lmao
Pika who? xD
Friends? What is that? Can you eat them?

I only started watching Pikamee last July but this still gives me nostalgia
Whoa her voice was so different back then dayo.
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
We've met again

Does that mean we can expect new clips from you again Aru? 🙂
All I’ll say is keep your eyes peeled for a clipper with a similar sideways pfp as this one 👀
I never realized she was so short
The way pika gradually evolved is stupidly wholesome
wow I REALLY dig the deeper voice Pikamee.
Ah season 1 pikamee. How time flies
Im so proud of this kettle and grateful for her too dayo
Her english has gotten so good!
I can imagine getting second hand embarrassment when pika decide to have a debut stream watching stream
She'll never do one, she said the embarrassment would be too strong
We'll never know
She used to say she stopped drinking and her drunk habit is bad enough she won't drink anymore yet we see her drinking casually after we all said we ok with it and she decide to hold drinking stream once
We'll just have to wait my friend
Well you just got it
Pikamee has come a long way, but even back then she is so cute 💗
Yeah the second I saw that making friends marshmallow my first thought was "based on what I remember of Pika's past you're asking the wrong person guy" and well her reaction sure backed that up.
Pikamee is such a sweetheart. Is it possible to have a soul and not absolutely adore her?
"I Love games and Doughnuts! yaaaaay"... also those drumrolls need to comeback ahhaha
From her first debut until today, she has grown so well. Ganbatte, Pikamee.
I just started watching Pika a few weeks ago, and I the more I see of her, the more I want to -kidnap- adopt her and make a clone army.
She's so frickin precious!
God that doughnuts bar hit so different
I still remember my first pikamee stream :’)
Damn i miss old voice pika
Thank you for this
My goodness her voice was so different!

I like Pikamee's/Henya's voice without the voice changer she uses now. Her natural voice has a lot of charm
What voice changer? 💀

She has admitted to using a voice changer to make her voice lighter. Her debut voice is her actual voice
