Whether you've received some good news that day and want to share it, or something exciting is coming up or happening currently in the chat, the AYAYA emote will help you express this. Even though this emote found its wings on Twitch, it has also seen massive popularity on websites such as YouTube, Reddit, and 4chan. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The picture accompanied by this emote shows an expressive, joyful anime girl who blushes and smiles.\u00a0The AYAYA emote may also be used if something \"nerdy\" is happening in the stream, such as a conversation about favorite anime or other nuance Japanese-culture topics. As of 2019, the website StreamElements has pegged AYAYA as the 2nd most popular emote on Twitch.tv. More information can be found in the video (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W46OaDoT6B8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>Example Usage<\/h2>\n<p>\"I can't believe you're going to unbox that special edition figurine today! *AYAYA*.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"No way, you watch anime too? *AYAYA*\"<\/p>\n<p>\"AYAYA - spammed in the chat.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"Could you talk more about your opinion on Death Note? AYAYA.\"<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are so enamored by Travis, you are going AYAYA over his play style\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Origin<\/h2>\n<p>The AYAYA emote picture was taken from a Japanese anime called \"Kin-Iro Mosaic\" during a scene in the episode \"What Kind of Friends,\" in which a character misunderstands the name Aya due to her confusion with Japanese pronunciation and ends up calling her Ayaya. The other characters then chime in, exclaiming, \"Ayaya.\" It is a funny scene that resonated with a lot of anime fans and quickly made its way over to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>This episode aired on July 20th, 2013, and was uploaded to YouTube about a month later. The emote was created in 2017 for Twitch, featuring the face of a character named Karen. Since the emote is based on an anime, it is synonymous with ''weeb culture'' on the Internet, which added to its success. However, the emote was only uploaded as a FrankerFaceZ extension on February 19th, 2017, by user FoveVever.<\/p>\n<h2>Phrases Similar to AYAYA<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Hurray!<\/li>\n<li>UWU<\/li>\n<li>*Clapping emoji*<\/li>\n<li>Genshin Impact - Ayaya Intensifies<\/li>\n<li>Kawaii<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Phrases Opposite to AYAYA<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Press f to pay respects<\/li>\n<li>BAKA<\/li>\n<li>Yare Yare<\/li>\n<li>Sadge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is the Correct Saying?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>AYAYA - meme spammed in the chat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ways People May Incorrectly Say AYAYA<\/h2>\n<p>AYAYA is such a common and easy-to-use term that it can be overused frequently or in the wrong context.
