  1. Henya the genius is super wholesome and she speaks japanese and english. Her english is 10/10.

    She mainly speaks english but adds a lot of japanese to it (like dayo and naruhoto) but she has a big japanese fanbase as well so she speaks to them a lot in japanese.

    Super wholesome streamer, a true gem.

  2. Kamito, as he is basically a normal streamer that doesn’t have any weird speech thing and you’d be learning while you’re listening to him. Cracked at Apex too

  3. I recently started to watch some of the hololive girls. Especially a lot of pekora, but they pitch their voices a lot to Sound cuter and thats kinda annoying After 30 Minutes or so. Havent found a vtuber that speaks japanese with a normal voice

  4. Disclaimer: Hololive focused.

    I think what you are looking for depends a lot on your level. If you are just starting out I’d recommend looking at multilingual streamers interacting with JP talent. Kiara, Baelz and Mori have various streams like that. On JP side Takane Lui is very good at english and do japanese learning streams with EN talents once in a while.

    Lately I’ve really enjoyed Azkis Geoguessr streams. They are completely in japanese but the context is clear. You get to practice talking about places and locations and if you are actively watching you can challenge yourself to try to read street signs etc.

    This stream I also liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHsA45m1Zd4 this is Suisei playing the game お名前なんだっけ？ I think you can’t go wrong watching any streamer playing this game as the game is literally about finding and knowing the name of objects.

    On a similar note this specific minecraft stream with Mio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHmh_r4DRPA is interesting because she is running a horse betting ticket booth. So you get a familiar scenario repeated over and over again. Great to practice listening comprehension and counting.

    I’d say just go with any lets play with a game you are already familiar with. I really enjoyed Pekoras Final Fantasy X playtrough even though I hardly understood Japanese back then 😀

    I would also strongly recommend watching the Hololive main youtube channel with their gameshow like content. It’s usually fully in Japanese but with Japanese text that gives context. There are a few episodes with some EN talent mixed in as well. And if you are struggling there is English and Japanese subs you can put on.

    Bonus non Hololive recommendation: Iida Pochi is decent at english and has several Duolingo streams where she studies English and other streams where they explain Japanese meme culture to their western audience.

こんにちは。日本語を勉強し始めて約二年間くらいが経ったくせに、これは僕の最初の文章です。信じられますか。ただアニメを見たり、たまの文章を読んだりしていたしかありません。最近勉強がよくしていなかったので、多分たくさんの間違いがあります。もしおすすめがあれば、ぜひ教えてください。多少の言葉が翻訳しても、ほとんどは自分で考えました。 皆さん、そちらのお天気はどうですか。晴れますか。それとも、曇りですか？僕のほうが．．．まあ、「いい天気だぜ！」と呼べません。外は朝から空気が寒くて、風が強くて、大雨が降っています。でも家にこもると気分が少し悪くなって、どうしましょうかな。とりあえず、パソコンの前で昼食を食べて日本語を勉強する以外は何もできません。少なくとも今僕が食べているチャーハンがとてもうまいです。料理のご飯の塩っぽさと卵の旨味が混じると、口で最高の味が生み出します。 とにかく、少し自己紹介しましょうか。僕の名前は○○で、十四歳です。今は夏休みけど、来年は高校一年生になります。大変緊張していても、興奮しています。二年間前に、日本語を勉強し始めました。そのころは日本語でぺらぺらとなるのは難しそうでしたから、学ぼうと決めました。いいチャレンジが好きで、「日本語は世界一の試験でしょう。」と思っていました。今は「この二年間のうちにすごく進歩した！」と思いたいなのに、まだ多数の年間があると知っています。しかし、これからも頑張て勉強していきます。 この文章を読んでくれることがありがとうございました。思ったより時間がかかりましたから、本当に気になっていた欲しいです。
