I am a "ちる狂(Chiru-guru)"
I have been supporting Kabukicho host YouTuber "ほすちるHosu Chiru" for about 5 years since I was a college student. I have watched almost all of their videos. I think I have watched most of the sub-channels, and I also watch the members' individual channels, except for the longer videos. I am what you might call a "ちる狂" person.
I think I first became interested in ほすちる when I saw a news clipping of ladies cheering on their host (with love and cash) and videos of champagne calls.
ほすちる's member is りっくん (Rikkun), やるきげんきだいき (Yaruki Genki Daiki), and Justin (Koji).
Of the three, Yaruki Genki Daiki is the same age as me, but he is a junior high school graduate, has been in the workforce for a long time, and is in a position to lead his juniors.
Yaruki Genki Daikki's Study Abroad in the U.S.
Daiki-kun went to the United States to study English in the spring of 2019.
As he says, he didn't study English properly. Sometimes he use English to answer the comments from foreign viewers, but his English is not enough to say good.
But he was able to communicate in overseas trip and went to study abroad. He went to the U.S. Embassy to have a visa issued and had a kind of interview. On the day of his departure, I saw his steady effort of doing a vocabulary book familiar to be used at the university entrance exam in the cab.
As "an ordinary man of the same generation"
Soon after his departure, Japan, of course, and the entire world, began a lockdown with COVID-19.
Even in the midst of such a declared state of emergency, I often watched live YouTube feeds and other videos of Daiki-kun, who would stream them from his homestaying house. I remember that I was a little surprised to see him looking like a ordinary man of my generation, in a good way, while he looked like a very mature man in the previous videos.
At the time, I somehow thought that international exchange and going abroad would be fun, but I also thought that it was a bad idea to study abroad for a long period without a big dream, such as starting a business or completing an academic degree abroad. I also thought that people who seemed more conscious and spoke English fluently would go.
Then I saw Daiki-kun studying abroad and thought to myself, "Don't be afraid to leave the stability of your life in Japan when others of your age are making their own opportunities and realizing their dreams of studying abroad.
He was not studying English for exams or work. It was different from my image of studying abroad, and I felt I could follow in his footsteps.
Yaruki Genki Daiki pushed me to do it.
A few months later, my working company reopened its overseas training program, and what I had started to aim for was about to become a reality.
In the end, unfortunately, Daiki-kun's study abroad program ended in the middle of the program because of COVID-19, but the fact that Daiki studied abroad pushed me forward.
I made the title of my blog like this to be catchy, but my feeling is one of respect. A cool guy has a cool heart.
