Don't you love it when your work week technically ends at Thursday because you
work from home on Friday? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay me
It's just in time that this arrived as I've been tracking it for the past week
earnestly I might add, and yeah, here it is. It's not much, and I'll cover
this with the other smaller package which arrived through another place from
the same company technically lol you'll know, and we'll talk about how all
these happened before... well the next one's likely in two months so we'll
enjoy this for a while.
Shall we?

[From Two Weeks Ago] Isobe Karin Birthday Event Bromides +
Tachibana Rika Bromide Set (Buyee)
|
|
Inori Machi Diary July 2021
|
|
Waki Azumi 1st LIVE "Chou Kakumeiteki Koisuru Ongakukai" Pamphlet
|
|
Toyosaki Aki Live Tour "CBH 1st Issue" Goods
|
And since I'm too excited to take a picture of the box because I rather do
some UNBOXING!!! RIGHT... NOW- Okay slow down me, we have to recap on what
happened a couple of week ago, so FLASHBACK!! Haha
|
I think I said this in an Entertainment News post before as I got it
weeks ago after the previous time we did this, but this was small enough
to fit in the mailbox which my dad only opens every morning
|
So, as to why these are here in a different packages in the first place
considering why I would never do that unless... yes it's that thing again, I
can't buy from those places. So yes, in this case it's
Isobe Karin's birthday party event goods featuring Sanrio mascots in
case you don't know of them, so I assume they wouldn't allow you to buy
directly if you don't live in Japan because they likely only allowed Japanese
bank cards (and Sanrio wants to protect its IP from foreigners?), so yes, I
got Buyee (which is under the same branch as Tenso which did the package
delivered today) to do it for me. It was totally worth it though they were
good stuff haha
|
No really, Karin-chan is adorable, in many ways than other
|
Also, because I had to pad the order or else shipping for this will make me
cry because it's just bromides she didn't have a pamphlet which is such a pity
(hehe), Buyee also coincidentally gave me a voucher worth a whopping 1500yen
in discount of any item purchased. It's not a lot if you buy literal figurines
which cost hundreds BUT (Haha) since I only buy bromides (mostly) from
recently opened a couple of years ago selling platform Mercari (I've bought
from there before through Buyee, if you would recall
that bomb of a free shipping run from last year
lol that was when they gave a 5000yen discount on international shipping which
is rather overkill but yeah, free shipping) it effectively made this
Tachibana Rika bromide set
only about 1000yen in total for, hear this, TWELVE bromides in all haha yeah
(average price 88yen so 1 dollar here) so now you know why I would give them
money lol. But yeah, they don't do this everyday, and I can't find a better
fitting item which is closer to that discount of a voucher so this fit in
quite nicely along with Karin-chan's actual new bromides. *laughs* Now you
know. I've checked a bit on these over the past week scanning these in (hehe),
and they are mostly from her (I barely even know about her solo music career
before she... got married by the way haha but yeah I learnt it was from) 2nd
single "Returner Butterfly" and I bet whoever got this probably bought off
most of them through other auctions because there is no way you can go buy the
CDs from different stores AND go to every single event which gives out these
bromides for free haha maybe they did I don't know. And also to why I chose
this, man I can never get enough of sexy Rika-sama lol I know she's married
okay but beauty is independent of marital status, people
|
RIKA-SAMA~!!! I am simping soooo hard right now I can't even
|
Yeah if Rika-sama would start selling something in her revived fanclub like
Inorin and Akarin that'll be SWEET~ Ok NOW we can do the unboxing lol the hype
is over already huh OF COURSE NOT!! *laughs* (Of course it's not I did the
bottom part write-up first haha uh oh fourth wall break)
|
Yup, this is without the usual air padding if there were more they'll
only put it in a bigger box
|
|
Haha you think I need a ticket guide to go to live performances I can
NEVER go even if I have the money to now? (Well, in their defence
Tokyo's cases are rising so no thanks haha)
|
|
It's just great to receive these things once in a while for the
(eternal) memories
|
And as you have seen here, it's the direct return in my investment which is
not fanclub events which I can't attend because the world's burning out there
and not its online content which will cease for me end October later this year
(*wink*), is
Minase Inori Fanclub Newsletter "Inori Machi Diary"!! Yeah, we have
seen this twice already, earlier this year which is for December, and one a
couple of months ago, if you remember. As usual, I will not show everything
because I love Inorin a lot so I protect those wonderful shots I paid for lol,
but instead give you some insight into the stuff they do online and in this
book, mostly catering to fan questions and surveys and fanart selections. Yeah
yeah they can do this on social media too but why would you give her money
then haha
|
She said "no" to "has you ever wanted to try to live alone" lol she just
wants to live with someone which is me *dabs* ("Minase-san do you
want to build a home with me-" Okay haha where is the talk about her
being imouto
candidate?)
|
|
Wow these are so reflective I am trying real hard to take it at angle so
I don't have to use this as my next profile picture lol
|
|
Also why isn't those inside the rest of the wrapping haha what
|
|
I mean, they even put the book in there, man! We will never know
|
So first up, literally I hesitated to buy these because I swear the photobook
earlier this year did her justice, it's
Waki Azumi's 1st live tour goods!! Well, mainly I was deterred by the
words "photo set" because with my mediocre experience those might mean
postcard or 2L size or whatever but turns out they are literal bromides so yay
I shall pat myself on the back for braving the Columbia Music store and buying
SIX bromides along with the pamphlet and I tell you, this was totally worth
the purchase because I AM SUCH A LOVER FOR CLOSE-UPS haha you don't even know.
Really, seeing Ajuju up close is... quite a sight haha why am I embarrassed
パンフレット Waki Azumi 1st LIVE -Chou Kakumeiteki Koisuru Ongakukai-
Pamphlet
|
It's as real of a cover as it is also beautiful, and I like
|
|
Heart you too, Azumi.
|
|
"Lovely Ajuju", eh? I mean, she isn't?? Haha
|
|
Those moles on the her face indicate her popularity and also my love for
her in smaller chunks hehe
|
|
Oh didn't know she was wearing those wings on her back haha probably
just for this shot
|
|
Those close-ups I can never get enough of
|
|
Never thought I'll say this again, I wish I was the wall and my face
smeared in pink (On second thought she rather kiss the wall than my
rough face *sob*)
|
|
"Casual Ajuju" If this is casual her I hope there is an even more
casual you at home seeing
your Instagram
|
|
Yes MOAR CLOSE-UPS PLEASE (Hehe)
|
|
Rawr~! *me faints* (Okay do you want her dogs or do you want her to
be the dog-)
|
|
Yes, shoot that arrow right through me, please, I beg you (Hehe)
|
So yeah, in case you didn't notice but I'll summarize from the interview in
the book, she went with two types of outfits based on "falling in love lovely
Ajuju" and "falling in love casual Ajuju" but seriously, what's the difference
amirite?? If it's her falling in love the target better be me lol *dabs* Okay
also, which is why I said it earlier, quite a lot of A4-sized close-up shots
to fill your heart to the brim and man am I already satisfied I already regret
not looking at the other pamphlet first considering this one in this is
younger haha ah-
|
Okay 1 out of 1 so far- Am I not going to get tired of this joke
|
|
How can she get even closer than that? Please, this is just a
bromide-
|
|
Dammit haha (No really, I didn't foresee this I swear)
|
|
Wow 2 out of 2 for both sets, so yeah we're 4 on 4 total by the way
|
|
Yes more close-ups!!! Hehe
|
|
Is this rigged? I promise you the left three were in one pack and
the others were in another pack (In poker we call this "three
pairs" lol)
|
Oh yes, the bromides. So, this one also has a
gacha element to
it and in this case it was 10 types and they sell in sets of 3. Yeah, doing
some math and bracing this like a champ, I bought two sets which will make me
hit the lowest chances of unique items so far (since I started early this year
if you would recall), of
around 30% and I'm glad I... well you can see
it for yourself it's all close-ups my heart might be melting inside now hehe
And to wrap this up, I better not call her veteran because I really think I
should she has been with me or I've been with her for so many years already
since I started watching Anime, it's Toyosaki Aki's live concert goods!
If you need an introduction to the voice behind the star of Anime "K-ON!!" and
a solo artist with the highest Klassic Note Review rate till date apart from
YUI you will be remembered lol, Aki-chan here can cute anything even if she is
married and has a dog as a kid instead of an actual human
unlike her other members in the talent agency
BUT let's take a look at the theme of this book because it's the most unique
we might have seen so far when it comes to pamphlets! Oh, and I bought
postcards because like Mocho they are from the same talent agency and they
will NEVER directly sell bromides unless I buy it with their CDs or something
(which will explain those Suruga-ya runs where I buy second-hand bromides but
you get the idea)
パンフレット
AKI TOYOSAKI CONCERT 2021 Camel Back Hall "CBH 1st Issue" Pamphlet
|
See? This is quite a look-alike to an actual magazine, isn't it?
|
|
If you need some insight, she is tallest in her agency, standing at
169cm but I'm still taller haha so I don't care
|
|
Really kind of lost her appeal there when she decided to cut short her
hair to this length a couple of years ago (Yes also, the marriage
news lol)
|
|
My girl when I keep her doggo away from her haha
|
|
In no particular reason do I want to show anything here besides beauty
especially for her age (which we will talk about later)
|
|
Kawaii
Aki-chan is kawaii, gotta give you that
|
|
Wow I feel like translating this but it's 100 items I may or may not
know of so maybe not haha (Okay easiest reference I saw is her own
PS5 purchase which
she did cover an unboxing
of not hers in the group's YouTube channel)
|
|
In case you do not know of her, as of this book she is halfway through
her thirties (Yikes) (lol)
|
|
Her ideal routine on off days apparently lol I thought this was the real
one (Gaming for 2 hours before sleep? Isn't that too little haha)
|
|
It's her and in case you do not know of her official mascot,
"Yodaremushi" which is basically named "salivating bug" haha hey it's
cute though it's in all her merch
|
|
Her wild dreams from here on include of course staying in her voice
actress career which I must say is still on for her, I doubt you can do
a Yodaremushi Cafe but it's not impossible, but more realistic ones
include singing in an outdoors live festival and voicing for museum
tours
|
"I want to smile with you all every day" Aw that's sweet you say that to
your husband too, yes? *laughs*
|
|
And just more Aki-chan because don't forget this is a
fashion magazine live tour pamphlet haha
|
|
And yes she is an avid illustrator though mostly for her own merch due
to her unique style (This one is titled "MV shooting" and bottom
left is probably it rained lol)
|
|
This only reminded me of the many live performance videos I've watched
over the years, the seriousness of Aki-chan and her efforts to do all of
these (There's also a comic on the concept of this pamphlet of her
shouting the theme and the staff be like "Eh..." Haha putting in to much
effort was probably the issue)
|
|
Ah this is what they call the "another/back cover" of the magazines in Japan and I'm glad I knew what the front cover is
lol
|
|
And these are just flair at this point the book is honestly so much
better in production quality
|
Yeah if there are more issues with rendering of this page and enhancements
I'll be sure to do this tomorrow morning. In front of this very PC, at home.
MUAHAHAHA I know right the boss be so pissed I hear the meeting he
participated with others which I was not in because work leave baby~ It went
REAL well haha. Ah hey, what can I say, can't miss an opportunity to
chain days off, you know. *laughs* Cya guys soon for more Entertainment News
it seems, and with regards to this... my only hint for next time is end
September. What will appear by then... I hear "Douki-chan" is getting a new
volume so we can start from there hehe see you then
P.S.
