Hiroshima's G-7 Summit: Livestreamers, Pancakes, and Awkward Photos.
TL;DR Summary
Japanese youths have been offering real-time commentary on a livestreaming site called Niconico, popular among anime fans, during the G-7 summit in Hiroshima. The site overlays comments on the footage itself, creating an immersive viewing experience. While world leaders discussed serious global challenges, Niconico users made jokes, used anime slang, and commented on Ukrainian President Zelensky's surprise visit. The platform began as a niche gathering place for fans of anime and online games, but has grown into a beloved community for its roughly 94 million registered users, who can upload videos or watch live streams.
