This Week At KosoruCG8/19-8/25

Okay I screwed up, But I still have good news（´・ω・｀）

Hello Hello! welcome to the weekly report, As usual I should introduce the cover first, it’s Kokona...... and I'm just want to feed her carrots so there's no crime here.

Why I chose this as the cover is because these days I was testing the new cartoony style, I'm trying to modify my old work https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/110669124 using this new style, but I screwed up and it's pretty....no good, So I put Kokona here so that everyone doesn’t see the results I threw in the trash can.

But here's the good news! While testing out this new style, I ended up creating a new Nahida. Even though the scene didn’t quite work out, I felt like this Nahida really deserves to be in the video. So, I’ve decided to restart production on {Picnic 02}. I had to put it on hold before because of some technical difficulties, but now that I’ve got this new workflow, I think I can finally finish this project. Back then, I was trying to pack in too many elements, which made the video almost impossible to complete. But after simplifying things and cutting out a lot, I’ve got a fresh vision for the project.

You might be wondering, "Wait, wasn’t {Stream Sniping 06} supposed to be next?" It was, but something happened that made me change course, and I want to share what led to this decision.

Basically, in my original plan, {Stream Sniping 05-08} didn’t involve killing Pekomama. However, a lot of people told me they wanted to see her die in various ways. That got me thinking about how I should proceed. The whole reason I started making sequels for the {Stream Sniping} series was to test out breaking away from my usual style—specifically trying out R18G content. I wanted to experiment with things like BDSM or sleep assault scenarios—stuff I don't usually focus on. So, I found myself at a crossroads.

Of course, all my fans are important to me. If I go back to catering to my long-time followers, I’ll be making content I’m already comfortable with. But if I ignore those requests and stick to my original plan, I might bore them, especially if they’re expecting certain scenes that won’t appear. As I thought about it, I realized there’s no clear answer. Whether it’s better to innovate or cater to my long-time fans is something that’ll never have a definite answer. So, I stopped worrying about that and started thinking about what I want to see.

First off, I think that at this point, throwing R18G content into a {Stream Sniping} sequel would feel out of place, even though the first four episodes were R18G. There are still plenty of ideas I want to explore with Pekomama. So, changing the series back to R18G just to please fans feels wrong to me. Now, what about my own preferences? Honestly, I still love R18G content. When I shared some Hentai with someone recently, I noticed that more than half of my collection is R18G. And since I’ve got this new Nahida ready to go, I figured I could use it to revisit the unfinished {Picnic 02} and test out some new ideas.

Earlier, I mentioned that my August testing included a new art style, a new video process, R18 content, and popular characters. So even if I leave out the R18 elements, there’s still plenty to test. That being said, let me tell you what’s coming next. We’ve got new rendering, a new video process (similar to {Stream Sniping 05}), and Nahida—who’s still a popular character, right? At least I like her, and she seems like a better choice than some others. The progress is good so far, and I’m aiming to keep {Picnic 02} around 50 seconds to 1 minute long. I want to see what happens when I compress an R18G video without making it longer.

One thing I’ve always been curious about is that most R18G scenes don’t feature any male characters. I think necrophilia is really a form of fetishism, which focuses more on showcasing the girl rather than any male-female interaction. So I wonder, if we strip the video down to just the key moments, will that take away from the appeal of an R18G video? I’m curious to find out, and since I don’t know the answer, we’ll just have to see.

Anyway, I’ve already told you the next video will be {Picnic 02}, and I’ve explained why I made that decision. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask. I can’t guarantee my answers will satisfy you, but I’ll definitely explain the reasoning behind each choice I make.

Now, onto some storytelling! Since {Picnic 02} is coming along well, I can afford to relax and share a little story with you today. A few weeks ago, I met a young guy at the store—19 years old. That’s young, right? While checking out, my gym receipt fell out, and he noticed it. We started chatting about fitness, and I was surprised that someone his age was so focused on health. He told me he used to run track in high school, but after graduation, there weren’t many opportunities to continue, so he stopped competing. I told him it was a shame our country doesn’t give young people more chances, but I also mentioned that my gym coach is great and that I could recommend him a place if he wanted. He politely declined, saying he had a friend who was a fitness coach, but appreciated the offer. He’s waiting for more opportunities, but he figured working at the store wasn’t a bad start.

A few days later, I ran into him again at the store. This time he was off work and just shopping. We started talking again, and he complimented my motorcycle. Turns out he’s into bikes too, and his dad rides the same kind of bike I do! He mentioned he has a Ninja 400 (about $10,500), which blew my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder how a 19-year-old could afford a $10,000 bike. When I asked, he casually explained it was a birthday gift from his family. I was like, "Wait, what? Your family gave you a $10,000 bike for your birthday?" He calmly replied, "Yeah, because it’s something I really wanted."

At that point, I started feeling a little off. I'm mean... usually my birthday would be KFC, and this guy gets a Ninja 400 like it’s no big deal. I asked if he had a license, considering his age, and offered to recommend a good instructor. He told me he knew someone already and thanked me. Then I asked, "How do you know so many people at 19?" He told me he makes it a point to connect with people who have useful skills because time is limited, so he doesn’t waste it on relationships that don’t benefit his life. Well, hearing that made me wonder about his upbringing and family. I also appreciated that he was willing to talk with me because I’m probably not someone who can offer much to his life.

We kept walking, and he mentioned that he’s moving soon. I told him I love Japanese home designs, especially how they separate the bathroom and toilet areas so you’re not sitting on a wet toilet. He responded that he’s used to that kind of design and didn’t find it novel anymore, but wanted to try something different. His next comment answered a lot of my questions—he said he already owned a house, and it was almost paid off. He and his family bought it together. I asked him how much the house was worth, and he said about $330,000, plus another $65,000 in renovations. I was like, "Wait, what? That’s what you consider ‘buying a house together’?" He explained that all the money he earned from working was going towards the house.

Hearing this, I thought, "So this guy’s working as a cashier at 19, giving all his money to his family, and somehow, he owns a $400,000 house—just like how he got a Ninja 400 for his birthday. For him, it’s normal." When I shared this story with other people, they often said, "Yeah, hard work doesn’t matter if you’ve got a rich dad." But honestly, when this kid was telling me his story, I didn’t think about that. I was just intrigued by him. Why did this guy stop running track and start working at a store? His family probably just thought, "As long as you have a job, it doesn’t matter what you do."

I know some rich people, too. My cousin once told her classmates that she wanted to be a housewife when she grew up. Her friends came to me, surprised, saying, "Did you hear that she wants to be a housewife?" I mean... "housewife" kind of sounds like staying at home, sleeping, and eating chips all day. No offense. Rich people just think differently from us. Most people would hesitate to tell others that they’ve got a wealthy dad, but for this kid, it’s completely normal. He just expects to get a Ninja 400 for his birthday or to own a house at 19. A few days ago, I admired his network of connections, but now I’m wondering if his friends—his gym coach, driving instructor, and so on—are just around him because his family’s rich.

So yeah, it’s not just him who surrounds himself with people who can help him. I guess I’m seeing him in a different light now. It’s not that the country didn’t give him opportunities, it’s that he didn’t need them. When I asked him what he wants to do next, he said he’s thinking of trying real estate. Honestly, I think he’ll fail and then just go back to doing whatever he was doing before because every profession is harder than he realizes. People succeed because they strive for a better life. If you have an easy fallback like going home where someone buys you a house or car, you’re probably never going to have the desire to succeed.

I remember two years ago when I was living in a basement with barely enough money to get by. My dad, clearly frustrated, told me to stop doing pointless things and to live a more ‘practical’ life instead of spiraling downwards. I seriously told him, "I lived in a garbage dump for the first half of my life. Now I have a chance to break free, and you're telling me to go back to my old life?" The thoughts in my heart were not conveyed to him, and he did not feel my will. He only blamed me for saying that what he provided was rubbish. And actually he is not a successful person either.

That day, after leaving the store, I wasn’t thinking about the wealth gap. I was wondering if these people with cushy lives ever get bored. Some people might think I’m just bitter because I don’t have money, so I criticize the lives of rich people. Maybe that’s true? I’ve never been rich, after all. I’m the type of person who compares a $6, 200g steak with a $3, 200g chicken breast to figure out which is a better deal. The steak tastes better, but the chicken’s cheaper. Honestly, I don’t mind this kind of life.

And actually, I have experienced what it’s like to live wealthy—when I traveled with some very rich relatives. But I’ll save that story for another time. Let’s just say, I think rich people are crazy. Of course, you might say I’m just jealous. But when I tell you the story, I think you’ll agree with me that they’re nuts.

Okay, I’ve rambled a bit today, but at least now you know the next video is going to be {Picnic 02}

That’s all! Thanks for reading, and I hope you’re looking forward to the next video!
