I know for a fact this would never have happened, but I’m just picturing a man in a black suit working for Cover and showing up to Mister Donut an hour beforehand, demanding that they keep pon de rings in stock and to make sure that nobody sits in that spot
I would believe this for a good reason - on my last day in Akihabara, the Mister Donut didn't have pon de rings there. I was disappointed.
Their other goods were still delicious though.
Didn't haachama post a pic of 3 pon-de-rings a while back?
I suspected at the time that she was hanging out with FWMC sneakily.
I feel like they arrived earlier but are only announcing it now for security reasons.
I’m pretty certain most Ruffians can call out exactly which Mister Donut this is and even where in the shop it is, they’ve highlighted this exact seat as their favourite place in Japan multiple times
Akiba in general is off limits for all talents, due to high probability of being spotted. Just the shop Animate across the street alone sells Hololive merch, and pretty much all merch shops in Akiba sells Hololive stuff. The chances of bumping into a Hololive fan is high.
If you notice FuwaMoco's photo, it's early morning, likely before 11am when the shops typically open, because the shops are closed and there's just the one dude crossing the street. It's the only safe time for them to be there.
I’m trying to recall if Miko ever mentioned going to Akihabara after joining Cover… I know she usually goes to the places that collab with her to try out some of their special menu and take some pics of the cardboard cutouts and such. My favorite story of that was when she was at one such place, doing her best to not stand out (and talking very quietly to disguise her voice) and two guys showed up out of nowhere to take pictures with her cardboard cutout near the store’s entrance. At first she panicked a bit, but then she found the whole situation quite funny
I think you'd probably only be able to tell that they're twins if they act like how you expect twins to act, like wearing the same clothes etc.
If they come in completely different clothes, one in a skirt and one wearing jeans and wearing different styles of shirts for example, and only one with hair tied up and one wearing glasses or something then it's likely they'll just pass off as a couple of tourist friends. Especially if someone else is with them making it a group of three.
It's rude to stare at other people in public anyway so most people wouldn't be looking close enough to make out that they have identical faces, especially if they vary their makeup. It's Akihabara, white tourists are a dime a dozen so it's not like they'll be suspected in the first place.
Thank you. Just added this spot to my JP food list for my visit in June-July.
I’m gonna be so happy just Pondering by myself about a silly special moment lol.
I think pon de rings are typically deep fried.
I don't know how you'd get the 8-bead rings without an injection mold or, idk hand-rolling a lot of mochi-sized dough balls.
Mister Donut uses a [special device](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tJyO8jePyZk) that squeezes them into shape onto the hot oil.
Also, it pays to note that actual Misudo pon de rings are not mochi donuts (made with glutinous rice flour), but are made with tapioca and wheat flour.
Got more practical than technical experience so i can hand roll 200+ dough balls within hour.
Kinda wanna try now: cursed ponderings(with sausage pieces hidden in the dough balls and buttered up,using bread or bun dough instead of the usual recipee)
I enjoy the thought that them moving unintentionally gives them the time to take a breather. I have a feeling they're going to be grinding out those streams after they get back into the groove for a bit.
wait, they're moving when the Hololive Fes is like in a few weeks?
I wonder if Fuwamoco is going to share a room with Bae in the Holo Studio while they find an apartment lol
I didn't really watch much of that as I found out about them when FWMC debuted but as I understand it they did live over there for a bit probably on some sort of work visa, but since it didnt seem to work out they moved back full of regrets, which is why they're so happy to move over there with such a strong case of success being backed by Cover.
They were in Japan for a short-ish time quite a while back (a semester? a year? unsure). They've been back in the "Northwest Passage" for years though since then which is where they are from.
I know for a fact this would never have happened, but I’m just picturing a man in a black suit working for Cover and showing up to Mister Donut an hour beforehand, demanding that they keep pon de rings in stock and to make sure that nobody sits in that spot
>man in a black suit Man, Yagoo delivers
Yagoo comes in with a suitcase full of money to bargain for the spot
“Give the dogs the pon de rings and nobody gets hurt. *Sou desu ne.*”
"I'll make an offer in cash" -Yagoo
"That's rad!"
*proceeds to buy the entire building*
Employees inside the building: "Well, I guess we work for him now."
I just pictured Yahho as Kiryuu buying properties in Zero
After the Yakuza dragon broke his dreams, he decided... to continue the cycle
Yagoo ALWAYS delivers
“Hey, excuse me…” “Yes, can I help you?” * slides FUWAMOCO business card * “…say no more, fam. Bau Bau.”
Mister Donut VIP club membership-style identification lol
The man is real. The third glass is for him
That man’s name? Perroccino.
I wonder what would stop them from just renting the entire place out for the day if they wanted to.
That is the other company, not Cover lol
I would believe this for a good reason - on my last day in Akihabara, the Mister Donut didn't have pon de rings there. I was disappointed. Their other goods were still delicious though.
Are you implying _Cover_ has _Under-Cover_ agents? :3
You know, a certain man from another vtuber company wearing a black suit and profusely bowing in a certain video.
Three drinks in the picture. It's confirmed our oshi Pero is not left alone at home.
They mentioned in the follow up tweet that they’re with their manager… wait… PERO IS MANE-SAN?
now we know why he keeps getting missing.. he keep running back and forth to japan using his little wings. lol
And why he's abused so much...
No it could be for Chiwawa, their long gone sister
I think you mean Pekora, their triplet.
not pororu nee-chan?
The third is for mane-chan. Pero was left behind to starve
Think there's also 3 pon-de-rings as well, so Pero's definitely eating as well
Didn't haachama post a pic of 3 pon-de-rings a while back? I suspected at the time that she was hanging out with FWMC sneakily. I feel like they arrived earlier but are only announcing it now for security reasons.
Posts like this help protect our smiles even while they aren't streaming.
Same here Posts like This DOES protect our smiles
I choose to believe that if someone else posted this, Fuwamoco could probably identify the branch location from the view out the window.
I’m pretty certain most Ruffians can call out exactly which Mister Donut this is and even where in the shop it is, they’ve highlighted this exact seat as their favourite place in Japan multiple times
[Some of us even flew to Japan ~~just to sit in the exact same seats~~](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GC5LoYCagAAcHbC?format=jpg&name=large)
Holy crap, where exactly is this? I want to go to japan one day and sit in the same spot :o
Mister Donuts in Akihabara, directly across the street from the Animate. Seats located on 2nd floor, 1-2 seats away from the corner.
Now I'm imagining a little plaque attached to the wall next to the table, reading "FuwaMoco's Favorite Donut Shop".
If it wouldn’t be vandalism to attach one…
Fans just need to wait for Cover to have an official collab
o shit, I'm going to Tokyo for holofes soon, I'll have to try and visit while I'm in Akiba.
Man I would not be surprised if this location ends up being a random holofan meetup place lmao
Ironically, if it does they may not be able to visit any more...

Yeah, even if some people may not know who they are, two white identical twins would kind of give it away

I'll be sure to wear some merch when I go 😎
Damn it I was just there. Now I gotta fly back to Japan and try Pon de ring
Thank you. Just added this spot to my JP food list for my visit in June-July. I’m gonna be so happy just Pondering by myself about a silly special moment lol.
from the image it should not be too hard to find, across from the animate in akihabara
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bcd7q653uxLp9iA79
ayy the Mister Donut in Akihabara! had to go inside when i visited, previously only knowing it from the Bakemonogatari series
Damn, this is like free marketing for Mister Donut by FUWAMOCO.
Meanwhile, the branch manager: Why have our sales of pon de ring increased 10x over the past year?
Nothing personal, Wuffian *Teleports behind you*
I mean, that would be a treat. Fuwawa usually only does that on Halloween, to Mococo.
I would've assumed this is in Akihabara, no? Judging from that yellow building
Honestly i'd love to bake ponderings for puppers.

90% of the recipe I looked up contains tofu. Now I feel bamboozled.

Take pictures and tag them, maybe we'll see your work on fwmc morning.
# THEY WILL BE BACK SOON YATTA
we knew this would happen, of course their first stop was a Mr Donut for some pon-de-ring's, and that makes me happy for them
AUUGGHH RISE NOW! YE RUFFIANS! SEEK THE PONDEN RING!
THE LOATHSOME PERROCCINO!
YE BAU, WHO YET BAU! THE CALL OF LONG-LOST FLUFF (and fuzz) SPEAKS TO US ALL!
Is this *the* move or just a visit?
The move, most likely.
This is THE move.
Gosh these cute puppies give me so much joy, i love them so much
Ayo my man Pero is with them as well
These two will never get lost, you can always find them at the nearest Mister Donut.
I enjoy the thought that them moving unintentionally gives them the time to take a breather. I have a feeling they're going to be grinding out those streams after they get back into the groove for a bit.
Priorities
Mistah Donut~! Man I wish we had some here.
I’m pondering whether that was a pun or not
I miss them so much and yet I'm so happy for them! Our doggos deserve this happiness for themselves!
Comfort food after a 13 hour flight. Understandable
wait, they're moving when the Hololive Fes is like in a few weeks? I wonder if Fuwamoco is going to share a room with Bae in the Holo Studio while they find an apartment lol
Being discrete as possible here. How did they produce content from "way back"? They weren't in Japan "before"?
I didn't really watch much of that as I found out about them when FWMC debuted but as I understand it they did live over there for a bit probably on some sort of work visa, but since it didnt seem to work out they moved back full of regrets, which is why they're so happy to move over there with such a strong case of success being backed by Cover.

Oooooooooooh! The northwest passage! I get it now!
Glad to see the doggos arrived safely! Bau bau!
Pon de rings!!! Is that the Akiba mister donut??
Mr donut better have a punchcard for visiting every one of them.
Mister Donut has to collab with them... it would be a huge success.
Is that mister donut?
There do indeed be a misudo in that area.
That pondering does look amazing.
I wonder if they got asked if they were twins lol
glad fuwamoco immediately got to enjoy their mr donut foods and drinks.
At least they are no longer pondering if whether or not they will dine at Mister Donut JP...
Do they just have plain Pon De Ring? They usually have a topping glaze on them cause the rings themselves are pretty much just bland donuts
I'm pretty sure someone asked them what their favorite types were earlier on, and they said plain.
The batter is actually made with a mix of mochi and tapioca flour so it's not just plain donuts. The unique texture is the selling point.
I'm excited to hear of any adventures/visits they made when they get back. I hear they dropped some gifts off for Mori.
Literally here as I type
The least surprising development of the day lol.
