新冠肺炎大流行扰乱了人们熟悉的日常生活、文化传统和季节性事件，扰乱了世界许多地方的社会和文化生活。在日本，人们痛苦地注意到，没有文化和季节性活动，这些活动在年历中发挥着核心作用，是文化特性的重要来源。为了寻找合适的替代品，许多人转向了数字空间。这些空间如何迎合熟悉的惯例和文化习俗的需要？用户如何利用这些空间来恢复日常生活？在这篇文章中，我以广受欢迎的游戏《动物穿越：新地平线》(任天堂2020)及其相关YouTube视频为背景来思考这些问题。根据引用这款游戏的282个日语YouTube视频的元数据和用户评论，我展示了玩家和用户如何在重塑文化习俗和季节性事件的各种实践中，将游戏空间和YouTube空间交织在一起。YouTube上的互动进一步表明，让我们玩连续剧在多大程度上被用作恢复日常生活的一种方式。因此，分析强调了商业数字空间在稳定和谈判危机的话语空间方面发挥的重要作用。
Upsetting familiar daily routines, cultural traditions, and seasonal events, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted social and cultural life in many places around the world. In Japan, the absence of cultural and seasonal events, which play a central role in the annual calendar, and which serve as an important source of cultural identity, was painfully noticed. In search of adequate substitutes, many people have turned to digital spaces. How do these spaces cater to the need for familiar routines and cultural customs? How did users appropriate these spaces to reclaim everydayness? In this article, I consider these questions in the context of the widely popular gameAnimal Crossing: New Horizons(Nintendo 2020) and its related YouTube videos. Drawing on metadata and user comments for 282 Japanese-language YouTube videos that reference the game, I show how players and users interweave the game space and the YouTube space in various practices of recasting cultural customs and seasonal events. The interactions on YouTube further show the degree to which Let’s Play seriality is used as a way of reclaiming everydayness. As such, the analysis highlights the important role commercial digital spaces play in terms of stability and as discursive spaces for negotiating crisis.
