かにちゃんとちびりべ

Since tuning into Twitch, I have seen a lot of interesting channels of people, virtual tours --> See Virtual Japan <-- games and people in hot tubs. Yes, hot tubs.

Anyway, on Twitch you can watch anyone in the world, including people from Japan. It's a great way to build listening skills and if you brave enough, speak to them through their chat.

One streamer I watch is かにちゃん. かに is 日本語 for Crab. Which is why she uses a lot of crab imagery on her stream. This below is one of her screens during stream.

かにちゃん - Kanichan (~chan is a name honorific used for endearment with friends and children)

休憩中 (きゅうけいちゅう) - Rest, break, intermission

(つ﹏-).o○ - A punctuation emoji meant to represent taking a break

Translation: Kanichan is on break (つ﹏-).o○

休憩中 is a great 漢字 to memorize and remember as many offices and stores use it to tell you they are away at the moment or might be closed for lunch.

Yes, some 会社 (かいしゃ) close during lunch and don't accept visitors or customers during certain hours of the day.

During one of かにちゃん`s streams she was waiting for Apex Legends to download and decided to watch YouTube videos in the meantime. One of the videos she played was ちびりべ a short (2 mins+) anime promoting the larger series 東京リベンジャーズ (Tokyo Revengers), except in this the characters are ちび (small, cute; toddlers or children are often called ちび).

I've posted episode 1 below. If you like it, you can go to YouTube and continue watching the rest of the series.

This series kind of reminds of かよーチュウ that I posted last week.

楽しんで！
