"I feel saved by the world!" Kato Konatsu recalls the first live broadcast of "Silent Hill F"

For Konatsu Kato, the voiceover and motion capture actor for the heroine Hinako Fukasumi in "Silent Hill F", her first game live broadcast in October this year was an adventure that made her uneasy. She bluntly stated that she was "neither a player nor a host" and even pessimistically predicted that the live broadcast would end in "an apology press conference." However, this "first experience of the game" in front of 5 million viewers received an enthusiastic response far beyond expectations.

Kato Konatsu started live broadcasting of "Silent Hill F" in October this year on a channel called "The guy from "Silent Hill F" is playing the game." Up to now, it has been updated to the 11th episode. The popularity of the series of live broadcasts continues to rise. The number of views of the first broadcast video has reached 5 million times, and each episode has hundreds of thousands of views.

Kato admitted in an interview that she was extremely nervous, but the actual result completely subverted her expectations. "I really thought it would end with an apology conference," she told the media, "but so many people embraced me so positively - I feel saved by the world. I want to shout 'Thank you!'"

Although language barriers make it difficult for international viewers to fully understand the details of the live broadcast, the sentence "I have an iron pipe" in the channel introduction has accurately summarized part of the core atmosphere of "Silent Hill F". During the live broadcast, a cordial "internal meme" developed between Kato and the audience: She initially jokingly called the viewers who actively encouraged her "affirmation robots", and later this title gradually became her endearment to her fans.

As for the evaluation of the game itself, Kato used the words "too scary", "scary to death" and "really beautiful" to describe it, accurately capturing the iconic characteristics of the "Silent Hill" series that combine horror and weird beauty.

From worrying about embarrassing himself in public to being surrounded by the warm support of players around the world, Kato Konatsu's live broadcast journey not only successfully promoted the game, but also became an inspiring cross-border interaction.
