Dear, Janu

Hi Janu & Fellow Janurs!
I made this to organize my thoughts and messages dedicated to our dearest Janu. <3
No, it's totally not a Janu shrine

Let's rewind a bit..

More than 500 streams! 3 Original songs! Absolutely stellar live singing performances! Who is this guy?!?? it's...

JANU RANATA!!!

Here are some notable things that you have done on stream (of which i can recall):

  • Showered on stream (No, we are not letting this one go. Ever.)

  • Showcased your toilet (On countless occasions.)

  • Introduced and showcased(?) your wife!? (..Also on countless occassions.)

  • Participate in an MLM scheme (Many times)

  • Slept on stream.

  • Worked out on stream.

  • Introduced us to your lovely twin/genderbend Janette <3

  • Have your viewers roleplay as a housplant for an ASMR stream.

  • Make your viewers fight to the death on a bloody battle-royale. 😱

  • Have your viewers be in charge of guarding your glass(?) of milk. (okay?)

Now that that's over with, let's see some of the nicer things that I can offer you:

A few words from me..

Okay, so this ended up not being a view words at all.. But these are my messages to you as a viewer, a mod, and a friend

P.S: If you happen to be out of time for the stream feel free to SKIP>> to the end for the TLDR, and maybe you can read the rest on your free time. I wouldn't mind at all!

Honestly it's just impossible for me to put everything into words, once again I'm not very good at arranging words in the first place. Though I think it's better than ending up not saying anything at all. So here is me trying, and hoping that it doesn't turn out into a massive pool of word vomit and grammatical errors.(Since this is a web page u can bet ur a$$ that I'm still editing this part until the very last moment haha :P)As a ViewerIn the midst of the pandemic and the start of your journey here, I think those personally remains the most notable moments for me as your viewer. When I discovered Metanoia, I've only been watching a few VTuber streams and they all have been from abroad. So since I was starting out as a fan, and Metanoia are also starting out as an agency, I thought it was the perfect opportunity for me to jump in.So... why Janu specifically you might ask? I think I've mentioned this before but.. To be COMPLETELY frank, the first thing that draws me to Janu was definitely the ✨aesthetic✨ more specifically the color purple, the white streak of hair, and the vaporwave header that you used to have.But when I saw your debut stream started with an original song, and I heard you sing.. I thought to myself wait.. this guy is kinda crazy!So I stay tuned, and kept on watching Janu's stream, and before you know it, here we are!Though it seems to pass in a blink of an eye, 2 Years in theory is no short time at all! and in that time we have witnessed all the highs and lows. Not just in terms of the channel development (views, numbers, and all that) but in life as well.A lot.. a LOT of things can happen in the span of 2 years, some of you might've gained or lost a loved one, graduated school, went to college, changed jobs, got married, got heartbroken, started a business, conducted an evil masterplan, raised a cat, and many.. many.. other things..So personally I feel lucky that in the middle of the twist, turns, and all the curveballs that two years of life had thrown at at me, I get to have this somewhat constant aspect in my life, like a routine, that is your stream.As a ModIf I went back 3 years in time and told myself that I'm going to become a mod for a "VTuber" I would have no idea what that is.. Like I mentioned before, finding you and the other meta kids marks the start of my discovery of the VTuber fandom, and I've only fallen deeper since then. I think I've mentioned it on your pass anniversary/birthday, but I truly am honored to have become your mod Janu!Next, I'd actually like to take this opportunity to apologize. At times I can't help but feel like I should've been a better mod.. Not in a self-depreciating way, just some healthy self-reflection that I'd like to let out before you leave. (Besides, I believe it is the season of forgiveness so might as well...)If there's one thing I learned, understanding context and the nature of a stream is really key when you're modding, so first of all I'd like to apologize for the times when I wasn't paying/wasn't able to pay enough attention, that I end up not understanding the context of the stream well enough to mod. (Especially when it comes to things related to the world war and stuff..)Then there are times where I misjudged, made the wrong jokes, or say the wrong things in chat, and finally there are times where I'm simply just absent.And for all those times, I'd like to say that I'm sorry 🙏I'd also like to thank you for bearing with me through this learning experience! and this doesn't only apply to Janu, but to my fellow amazing mod friends, and Janu's loyal viewers as well!! Sorry if I ever offend any of you (unless you we're being a jerk then in that case F#$% you!! >:P)Sudden indo momen: Yaa intinya mau minta maaf aku suka ngilang huhuu ;-; atau kadang cuma muncul di awal dan/atau akhir stream, kayaknya akhir-akhir ini aku sering gitu...But okay.. let's not dwell on past mistakes too much, let bygones be bygones!! we've got very limited time after all!As a FriendWell come to think of it, normally it would be a little weird to call one of your favorite streamers, or should I say your ✨OSHI✨, your friend. Like a parasocial typa stuff.. 0_0 Though, you did say that that's what you like your viewers to see you as ,a friend..In the end even though I personally couldn't get into some of your interests. It really warms my heart to see you find the people who do! People you can play war thunder with, people you can discuss tanks with, the JOS Arma community..You DID somewhat got me into one of your interests though, one of it being Laruku! I still don't know much about them at all, but I do genuinely enjoy the concert watchalongs! At times I just feel like listening to their songs out of the blue. Thank you for introducing me to them!The other one is of course.. FFXIV.. hehehe.. Granted there's a lot of peer pressuring factored into this as well BHAHAH.. but yeah.. I don't mention it a lot, and I'm still in Free Trial so a lot of features are inaccessible to me, but I am still playing! Progressing very slowly but hey I finished ARR!!! :"> (Honestly, I think I'm really taking my time because I still don't know if I'm gonna buy the game).Common interests aside, at the end of the line, from the countless Free Talk streams that you've done I think I can conclude that we might have some similar aspects in our personality, and it seems like we also share some common views, values, and opinions regarding a lot of matters. (For example: opinions on Nice Fit Tomboys 😍, wanting steak instead of cake for your birthday, and whether pizzas belong on pineapples or not ..or was it the other way around??)For me those are what truly matters most in friendship! and I certainly am happy to call you my friend!

TLDR:
So we've finally reached the end..Can I just say, you truly have become one of the notable figures in my life Janu! In case you ever doubted it, your presence DO leave a mark, a mark that I would fondly remember.Man.. I'm definitely going to feel like something's missing after you're gone :(Once again I thank you for this journey, and I wish you the best of luck on your next one!Fly high my friend! 🕊- LUNI
