The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #22

Wow do I even remember what I did this week? I mean, you can just look back at the week of posts I did for that package that FINALLY appeared haha note to self do not do this again I waited too long I saw those photobooks and came-

Anyways, welcome to Sunday again, the time where you feel bad about living because you gotta work tomorrow- Hey, give us four-day work weeks, employers. *laughs* Well I shouldn't complain because at least I'm not going SIX days a week haha can we not talk about this already

Next month is going to be rad though, as I confirmed the new Klassic Note Reviews which will be due by then... subject to me padding more orders and of course, the singles that will be releasing in the next couple of weeks... if they hit haha ah hey you can't keep printing single-track releases WITHOUT any special gifts lol Nasuo-san why

Okay, let's Anime and music! Shikimori-san is back again so that's going to be hype




アニメ Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei Shite Mita. Heart
"This girl has always read the room like this, and acted normal with a smile. When I think about that, I..." I FEEL DISGUSTED lmao hey Himuro isn't that bad she's the most innocent one haha
Yeah Yukimura don't be a life advisor because many will commit suicide because of you- Also Kanade-chan did you just do a two-face?? *silence* Yamamoto is my new girl now haha in this new episode where I lost all hope from the cutest girl in the series haha (#RikeKoiS209), we... uh... have to look back at her problems, eh? I mean, at least without overconfident Yukimura around, we can at least give her some due chance. In a nutshell, Kanade-chan likes blue backpacks as a kid, is an older sister to her brother who likes to cry and break stuff lol, and likes to hang around with people. For the last part, that is pretty much what they teach you at school. But the others, is what parents (1) think of what should be normal for you because you can't determine for yourself and (2) do to protect you so you won't get into trouble for the smallest thing you can get around with. To be fair, Yukimura's parents probably gave up on THEIR SON (lol) which probably made him even more nerdy than he can today to teach where he is, and even lucky enough to get someone who is as passionate about science as him... without being creeped out by him holding a laptop in a confession lmao, still won't understand why Kanade AS A WOMAN has to bear all this burden of being normal just because that mother thinks she's a weirdo for, uh, beating up the teacher. *laughs* Again, like every other drama and/or video game plot, if you wonder for a second that your kid is weird and change them, you will have effectively killed their personality which may or may not be able to recover. As you can see from this week's posts lmao, I have somewhat recovered from what I thought was normal besides the getting friends part so really should've learnt from "Komi-san" lol Anime joke, but yeah, considering I can deliberate this much on an episode which associates this much to me... at least I don't have a girlfriend to worry about, yes? *dabs* Anyways, story. With all this normality going on and Kanade pondering about her life, she then asked her current boy about what he liked about her. You better answer that, dude, it's "normal" for your girl to ask about that shit haha *dabs* Shikijou then talked about his screwed up life so far (because SAME DUDE haha) and you know, giving in to a lot of pressure from people around him and screwing up that presentation and Kanade (with the help of Yukimura) showing him what's up, which to be honest, I would've also liked her at that point if I haven't. You may not have everything in life, Shikijou, but you have a NORMAL girlfriend now- Okay I'll stop with the normal jokes. *laughs* (Not normal, by the way, since normally we joke about how Himuro wants Yukimura bad haha) But yeah, just like how Kanade is holding back on her actions just because no one would allow to live her life freely, maybe she should've just broken that punch machine so she can break up with Shikijou after he got disgusted by her actions and call off   the experiments that were going on, yes? Haha yeah, remember those? *laughs* Moving on though, we are teased with school festival presentations and what Ikeda Lab will be doing this year besides getting sloshed with Torasuke haha, is... a cosplay booth? *laughs* Well, don't think we have to quote to know that appearances matter more than anything in seeking out a partner so I lost haha, but yeah, thanks for the Himuro fanservice haha I can imagine the two in a room and them doing this kinky stuff lmao *YES*, but yeah Torasuke is right we almost want to punch Yukimura but he is forgiven for now haha. All in all... I see we have some seriously good developments going on from here. If concluding this season is some school festival fun and drama, I wouldn't even mind seeing Yukimura cross-dressing- No really, please don't. *laughs* But before that, we might have to clear the air between Yukimura and Kanade, and it looks like Chris might be into play here so we shall see how he can help with his vast experience sinking in boobs lol see you then
[TL:DR; Instead of just Himuro cosplay can we actually get some Amamiya Sora cosplay though??? Fans vote for Aqua cosplay from "KonoSuba" series congrats on third season btw haha]
Dude, this cosplay is SO RAD haha
Oh Yukimura's preference btw
(Himuro why not consider nursing as a career? lol)
And our cosplay contest winner is...
(Haha)
P.S. "She's a child, so toys will get broken" NORMAL~!!! Haha somehow in the flashback Kanade's definition of normal don't hit as much as when the parents were referring to her
P.P.S. "Kanade-san, what are you?" Well I beat up my teacher so *laughs* JOKES
[Since this is the final episode we will care about Kanade now lol let's have some more shots of this... this... *laughs*]
Things I want out of my girlfriend:
Summer-made material haha *dabs*
Things I want out of my girlfriend:
Not the best example of a proper diet but (lol)
Things I want out of my girlfriend:
Missing me, looking at my sent messages to her...
(Hehe)

アニメ Aharen-san wa Hakarenai
"My face feels warm, my eyelids are heavy, and I've got a headache" Raidou you have that just this once but I have it every day so... I should go see a doctor lol
Okay between Raidou not doing his zippers previously to the intro over here, I am starting to think the best part of this series is frantic Aharen Reina, prove me wrong. *laughs* In this new episode though where I think something IS wrong with Raidou haha (#AharenSan09), hey if getting sick makes me more attractive I should go back to work even if I can hardly breathe- I'll work from home, thanks. *laughs* So firstly, we talk about how the production changed out their team of animators who were working on the main guy. *laughs* No really, have you ever doubted on that though? *laughs* But yeah as you can see where the joke is, even the sister herself is amazed at how much the brother changed just by having a fever. It's like how I get very funny when I embarrass myself which is all the hollering in the entertainment industry lol, but yeah, this one falls in the category of "why" to be honest. *laughs* Yeah, and they gotta compare it to when he recovered and no one gave a damn lmao. Man, quarantine at home for a week will probably send Rikachimalu to Heaven. *laughs* Next up, new character time, and as hinted by Reina (we will use given names now just because) she has two siblings, and other than the cross-dressed younger brother Ren lol, this time around we saw younger sister Eru who, despite her larger build in every department haha, is also kinda scary. Well, I wouldn't call her that because she did end up buying all the stuff and telling Raidou what he should get at the arcade to grab a plushie to make her sister feel better and THEN gave the groceries to him so he can do the deed instead of her... I would say she is a great younger sister. *giggles* From the cooking and the Aharen family (don't ask where the parents are lol) eat around, it looks like Eru might have some j-j-j-jealousy going for her sister and her boi, but also, that she is maybe kuudere herself and maybe slightly rejective of an appearance of a potential brother-in-law... I like where this is going. *laughs* But yeah, still can't deny that Raidou is probably still a good candidate to join your family... at some point even though it's still classmate or even school friend relationship... maybe haha hey at least Ren-kun is happy about it. Speaking about him, he did drag Raidou into going to the supermarket with him though, because why not have more wholesome moments to love than just bleed out on because if Tobaru-sensei saw more of any of these she might not appear in school for a month. *laughs* All in all... I'm literally Ren-kun at the end watching those two. So, so much wholesome content I can't even .*laughs* Hey, if this Anime is a romance series as I've heard rumours of lol, it better deliver since we are at the point we have gone through so much we might just see something happen between them. Man, this alone will get me excited to see this series through haha I'll bask in that wholesomeness until then and try not to bleed out
[TL:DR; As the outro has shown, since Reina can't gauge things for shit (title drop lol), Eru is there to help her out lest she buys what, a warehouse of ice cream when I would argue if your sister is ill you also shouldn't give her any? Haha]
This is a Bruce Lee reference lmao
Like really what is with the leek wrapping her neck?
(lol)
POV: You are Aharen Eru haha
(YES)
Wow we have reached this stage, huh.
Eru-chan you want some Raidou too? Hehe
P.S. "This is future Aharen-san!" Jokes on you Raidou, Aharen Reina from the future will still be AS SHORT if not shorter than she is now so *laughs*
P.P.S. "Reina is useless without me. Get yourselves together, you two" Wow haha "No matter how much I care (about Reina) I will never be number one" Well... there's the parents and then Raidou probably and then maybe you haha oh Ren-chan yeah the brother lol
[Who wants some IKEMEN RAIDOU ACTION!!! I mean, this is how we get the girls in haha]
Again, girls love this cool shit haha
*Not Raidou by the way
Haha even when he sleeps and still unwell he still looks like that

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Ultra Romantic
"The last thing I want is to get teased because (Shirogane Mikyuki) you stick out like a sore thumb!" I mean Kei-chan I can just tell him to pump a balloon and he'll-
Seriously though Miyuki, please, PLEASE trust your sister's fashion sense because you really don't have any. *laughs* Also, you think Kaguya will like this eighth-grade outfit? She gotta, right? She's so into him already and also doesn't know much about fashion? *giggles* In this new episode where Miyuki's dad is the other way around with fashion which ALSO will disgust me if my dad did that haha (#KaguyaSamaS308), we got the lead up to the school festival. We are getting there, guys, trust me, we are. *laughs* But you know, gotta survey Kei-chan's school festival which started earlier... just, turns out that getting the brother to go there might be rough. But he is right though, that he has been saving to let his sister look better and let the father dress up whatever way he is doing lmao, thus doesn't have much left for himself. That's the cool guy Kaguya likes, and to no surprise, Kei just returned the favour by getting him some REAL clothes and REAL ways to wear them. Like, even I know the waist strap is worn on your shoulders from watching not the dad. *laughs* Maybe Shirogane here has some delinquent times, eh? Who knows. You think Kaguya is into this stuff? *laughs* Speaking of Kaguya, and like her we ignore all the damn tradition and bullsh*t which had made this Honshin Festival in Shuchi'in even possible to do at such large scale, and whatever Ishigami wants to try to do with Tsubame now that he knows the closest guy to that woman is actually dating Osaragi of all people lol ah hey, we might have to help Kaguya think of how she wants to confess to Shirogane. Yeah, hard to believe I can say that after three seasons of "whoever confesses first loses" cr*p haha, but hey, Kaguya gave in. I'll say though, in terms of thought, that Shirogane did do it first after he thought of studying overseas, but breaking the girl was more vital to the plot of this series so hear me out here. *laughs* Thanks to the narrator, we know that Kaguya is just struggling to hold up to her ideals and just acting like a damn b*tch now and wants to confess first before the guys does even though we are somewhat sure pretty sure definitely sure this will NOT end up in a rejection unless they want to do it themselves lol, is still pegging on Kaguya herself to not be able to do so (probably) even with all the rumours around the school festival's magic... or any school festival event to be honest it's a way to get people together as long as you are involved in some capacity. I don't so I'm single so *dabs* Anyways haha *sob*, we don't need to know Shirogane's side already we know he will do it in this festival it's just when and where the opportunity so I'll look forward to that. All in all... you think even this season's ending is going to be sad? I hope not, but we gotta brace for it somehow. Just like how Kaguya's chances of failing a confession from either side might happen, we gotta think of what happens if a confession were NOT to happen. Yeah, she doesn't even know he's studying overseas after graduation. Would that be a problem though? I don't know. What I do know is people are getting desperate. And that, is DEFINITELY potential for a lot of drama we are going to witness in the next couple of episodes. Please Kaguya dad don't appear please haha my only fear tbh
[TL:DR; I swear I'm the same reaction as Hayasaka when Kaguya said "I like that dude" and really wanted to flip my ears again and do the comedic bit of "I can't hear you can you say that again" thing haha also it sounds different coming from dear Koga Aoi btw]
When you studied too much the day before your English exam lol
Gotta say though, this still looks pretty cool even for his age haha
Right, Kaguya?
Haha even the dad knows how to wear this thing
P.S. "Shirogane Kei knew from years of experience what kind of brother he is" Yeah right haha Fujiwara had to learn it the hard way lol we've all been through that I guess "Seriously, you look worse every second" Wow I feel offended somehow haha
P.P.S. "The best way to not want anything is to drop all interest of it from the get-go" Yeah true true like how I'm never interested in vegetables-
[Let's celebrate Kaguya-sama's realization by showing how embarrassed she is admitting to lose by confessing first-]
This is just a murder scene without context lmao
This is definitely a first on her expression list haha
Me when people force me to-

アニメ Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu.
"I don't know if I can step foot onto this city" LOL SAME
Yeah, don't worry about sitting with Katai and Naruse, Tadano-kun; I wasn't the author and I ALREADY PREDICTED THIS LAST WEEK lol in this new episode (#KomiSan20) where I took zero notes again to write so let's go through the awesomeness that is the school trip to Kyoto! I know, I said Okinawa was great just like, two days ago and I'm going to have to change my words again, but just like how Inaka fears to step foot into cities in Japan, I also have never gone to there in person even though I'm probably more verse than the tour guide (voiced by Uchida Maaya by the way, they shared it in the official Twitter) about Kinkakuji and others, still can't contain my excitement when it's this bunch of weirdos people with personalities going to this very same trip that every other school goes in Anime. *laughs* Almost forgot Tadano was the class chairperson so we get to take a look at the groupings in the train which are also the groupings to sleep in the inns later. Apart from the obvious pairing I mentioned above AND last week be sure to check that out I totally nailed that I need to be rewarded with something haha, it's Yamai and Nakanaka clapped with some Agari meatballs lmao I'm so sorry Himiko *dabs*, I want to be in Makeru-chan's team and if she loses to me she goes into the onsen naked haha *dabs*, people figuring out Inaka after this long might be many episodes too long I mean Komi-san figured that out already haha, and Komi-san is with the quietest group on the Shinkansen. *laughs* We have Kaede-chan in the train too right? LET'S GOOOOO problem is man, that why is this bus tour guide Ryouko (that is too many Kanji characters to spell her name this exists as a normal name lol) so useless but I think we don't need to find out more because mainly these guys or most of them do not care about the traditional talk about the scenery and landmarks (apart from Komi-san and Tadano) but also probably because we already have a narrator we don't need another person to commentate- KOMETANI-SAN GO AWAY *laughs* So yeah, poor Uchida Maaya for voicing in this series as someone I'll just end up forgetting haha. Ignoring her, reaching the hot springs inn they were supposed to stay the night in after a day's worth of exploring... You know, you know what we want. *laughs* And as if Yamai-san's desires don't say about ours for the majority of male fans watching this series (including the author lol and I don't even know their gender) who wants to see Komi-san in the pink so badly *laughs*, she thankfully is afraid to go in the bath similar to Agari-chan but for different reasons lol Komi-san might be scared to show her body but Agari is just afraid of being called names. Hey, I'll take some meatballs in the Autumn season, don't mind me. *laughs* Seriously though, stop discriminating on women Yamai-san if you want them boobies go touch Agari's or something. *laughs* Tadano had to deal with Naruse's cr*p quotes haha, Katai's superior status as someone who can't speak to anyone but to delinquents in class so he might as well flex about it, ended up enjoying the photo-taking sessions with the dudes with their tops off. HEY KOMI-SAN JUST, DUDES BEING DUDES AMIRITE??? *laughs* I don't even want to know haha and to top it off while the teacher's not looking, we play some pillow fighting! Haha guess who won wrong answers only. *laughs* All in all... we aren't technically done with this trip yet because there's no confession or whatever haha ah hey you want to count that one? Haha even so, I think this is a great episode which emphasized on stuff... we weren't supposed to emphasize on lol that's the appeal of the series too anyways. As long as Komi-san is enjoying herself I don't mind haha cya guys for mor next week
Gotta say though, this is probably what I'll look like wanting to see Komi-san's boobs haha ah
Gotta say though, this is probably what I'll look like wanting to see Komi-san naked haha ah
P.S. "Even a golden building pales upon my beauty" lol okay dude "Eh? What is with him" SAME DUDE haha
P.P.S. "Yes, Yamai Ren's intentions (to touch boobs) is totally pure" Yeah okay narrator stop defending this b*tch already haha
[Honest question: Did Onemine taking her hair down turn anyone on? Because she did for me haha]
There are people who'll take a few sips, there are tourists who fill up bottles... and there's this.*laughs*
This episode is sponsored by Pokky haha

アニメ Kawaii Dake ja Nai Shikimori-san
"High school girls these days are so carefree..." Yeah ikr lol Hachimitsu
Man, summer vacation's over and we jump into school festival? Which school in their wrong mind does that?? *laughs* In this new episode after we took a break for a week and don't ask why (#ShikimoriSan07), we are in school festival now apparently. Everything seems to be in order, their class is doing animal cafe which sounds pretty normal, who doesn't want to procreate like rabbits with Shikimori-san haha *dabs*, and our dear lion Izumi turned into a cat for almost getting into an accident without his girl's permission. *laughs* Hey, all is fun and games but specifically there are two things in this episode that will make the second half of this arc a lot more spicy than it has to, so hear me out. Firstly, about the library duty. Turns out, the library which serves as a rest area still needs to run at the three-day long festival (Jesus Christ Shuchi'in only gets two days max lol) still needs to be taken care by someone, so students take turns to do duty there. Coincidentally, we have the Izumi-Kamiya combination. Not that it is a combination, but they did the same thing the year before, so I guess at least it's acquaintances at this point. Interestingly Kamiya was more interested about the year she missed where Izumi was going out with HER idol Shikimori-san. Yep, you heard that right; Kamiya is (likely) not interested in God of Misfortune Izumi. *laughs* So yeah Izumi is right we have never seen Kamiya here being more enthusiastic than she was playing volleyball, as the three-hour shift ended up just being Izumi sharing his romance experience with... possibly the coolest girl in school haha sorry Kamiya-san. *laughs* Then, we have the Couple Numbers quest. Well, Hachimitsu called it a quest so I'll believe that. Goddamn, and that's why all schools should have this, is this quest the most forced and/or most interesting ever because even without reward it's already a treat just to have to ask someone of the opposite gender out to take a photo just because you both got randomly assigned a number by the student council the moment you step into the front gate of the school. I mean, asking THREE girls out in your high school life? That's three more times than when I did it haha *dabs* Anyways, Shikimori's quest seems to be finding whoever is with Izumi lol I meant the number, and possibly trade with them. But yeah, coincidences only can last for that long, so don't quote me if I say right here and now Kamiya will NOT be handing her number over just because. *giggles* Though Shikimori have you ever considered the other way around? Get Izumi the number that is same as yours? Hey, just a suggestion if all else fails. What is also all else fails is them trying to do this the year before where Izumi lost his number and that's why you should rush to take the photo IMMEDIATELY lol, thanks to the student council president (who probably drew those numbers on the hearts anyways) letting them have it despite losing the physical item needed for the photo, helped cement the relationship by giving Izumi the push to confess to Shikimori, which is what we have today. (*sob* So wholesome... Haha) All in all... what do you think will happen now that we know all of this and everything is laid on the table? Are we going to see some b*tch fighting even for the wrong reasons because why fight for an unlucky loser? *laughs* Are we going to have this EPIC TALE of Izumi having to go against his love rival Kamiya for- No, nope, not happening. *laughs* What will happen though, is that I think we have reached a good point of certain misunderstanding that next episode is GUARANTEED going to be a huge mess which is why I'm here for to be honest haha to we shall see if anyone gets their photos taken by then. Haha really makes you wonder how many couples will do that just to the the Couple Numbers thing right lol we shall see about that next week too
Considering Kamiya might be even more turn off to me than Shikimori, she does have a nice rack-
Even without telling you, you can probably figure out who is under that dog outfit haha
P.S. "I'll work hard for the both of us" ... Why can't I be the female in a relationship? *laughs*
P.P.S. "How did you two get together?" Wow Kamiya asking for love advice? Hmmmmmmmm "I'm just interested in (Shikimori-san)" Ooooo you picked the wrong person to fight Izumi haha gg (Say Kamiya, does your given name happen to be "Yuri" or something haha BOOM)
This Week on "Kawaii Dake no Shikimori-san":
Rabbits have never made me want to reproduce but THIS
*laughs*
This Week on "Kawaii Dake no Shikimori-san":
I mean, we get this every week but did you EVER get bored of it?
I won't hehe

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week ends May with I guess somewhat well as much as there isn't much to end in, as it's filled with Anime theme songs with a surprise at the end so that is probably what got me going this week. nasuo's new single for Anime "Shikimori-san" is a release mess with FOUR versions of releases and all tracks streaming online just so you can decide which version you want, including an acoustic studio cover of the actual song in the Regular Edition, "character-inspired songs" in the Anime Edition, and literally what could've been an actual B-side for the Manga Edition which featured an Oonishi Saori version too (which was somehow worse lol) so you tell me what I will be reviewing next month. (We will talk about them again when the time comes btw) Nakashima Yuki's new single did not catch me with any new songs not even the B-side but I'll still give this Anime ending theme song since it does have them good pop vibes I will get around to liking. The Floor's new song which popped in as a surprise to me at least was just probably warm-up for me getting back into their songs especially as mentioned last year they lost their band's main composer and had to find new ground which I would safely say they did, so good for them. Yes and I did give Genie High's new song with the Marinka super cute vocals in it lol

Wow I gotta say I saw some good and new news on Twitter lol it's not all new stuff anyways in case you wonder, fuzzy knot's new mini-album preview doesn't sound bad at all I'll look forward to this in July, The Floor's new music video and as I've given already is about aliens and whatnot so if you're into these give them a listen haha, blah blah Touyama Nao's new song for her double A-side single was revealed in a recent livestream she did and it wasn't too bad unlike the other A-side song I'll see if I want to talk about it when it comes out next week, Hanazawa Kana did a cover song for Anime "Monogatari" series if you are interested and yes it's not a ClariS song lol, we all can't watch Hakoniwalily's new music video because region restrictions are the best haha, Sangatsu no Phantasia is doing a 6th anniversary Twitter campaign asking fans to talk about their favourite songs but I hardly have any to talk about tbh, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION released a new music video of a song which I did not give and was from their recently released album, SPECIAL OTHERS' new live video this week was the first music piece I've ever heard back in 2008 and loved them since then, Rie fu's new album will pre-release in end of June supposedly for people who attend her live so we shall see if we can even get this in music streaming services to be honest, and I can't believe I can say this now but waiting for this long, GLIM SPANKY announced an album released in August later this year with a new song announced during their recent outdoor live. I am not going to ask for what standards I gave for their previous album on this but I'll try to give as much as I can. It has been a while and their oldie Rock style isn't exactly easy to give but you know, we got more artists coming back this year with new songs so that's real nice for this Klassic Note 15th year to be honest

So next week on Klassic Note, we are literally starting the month with new songs straight off the bat, with Hakoniwalily's new single for Anime "Aharen-san" and Suzuki Airi's new single for Anime "Kaguya-sama". Yep, we haven't left Anime songs yet. Anime songs has not yet left us haha. Neither I'm typically interested in so we shall see if they can make the cut to be in Klassic Note Review for the year.




With all my obligations I've done just even earlier in the day in which I have to be forced to exercise amongst all things lol, I'm just glad that I don't have to think about more stuff that my lazy a** doesn't want to do. Really, at some point I'm going to hate typing all of this out- Well, not yet anyways. I still like the path I chose, I can only have neck pains for the rest of my life even with the healthy stuff I should be doing instead of being in the metaverse lol *dabs*, but I like this kind of freedom, I truly do. Maybe not mentioning my obligations is better no one does that for their news articles. *laughs* Cya guys next week then, and until next time... really, if you need something to look at and be impressed with and you haven't been on Instagram looking at beautiful women the previous post of this blog would be a good recommendation. Haha bye

The Fifteenth And Sixteenth Book Worth of Photos: First And Best Place On Earth

(Click here to skip to the Q&A for Lynn's Photobook)
If the best place on Earth takes the form of an island off the shores of South Japan called Okinawa, I wonder why I haven't visited there yet. *giggles* I should consider dying there now. *laughs*

Okay this might be too elaborate for a photobook review- TWO PHOTOBOOK REVIEWS haha but seriously who doesn't want some bikini and summer heat? *laughs* Oh did I spoil too much on what we are looking at this time around? So many months in the waiting since March even though one of them was already released in February, it took two months to arrive just because I wanted to save some money on international shipping, and we finally got to it! I gotta say though, I got REALLY impatient and started with these on a Friday night instead of the weekend, but I want to say now after looking at them, that I can't even sleep now. It is THAT GOOD haha we better get to it




THE BOOKS
OKINAWA IN A NUTSHELL
Lynn 1st Photobook
"Rin"
[Buy at Gamers]
Sano Hinako Photobook
"BE WITH ME"
[Buy at Amazon Japan]
Oh and suffice it to say we are NOT going to pit these two against each other unlike the last time with Valentine's Day last year. Because apart from the theme being photos taken in Okinawa - the southern Japan island of love and peace mostly love for bikini-clad women hehe - it is also super unfair to pit a voice actress against a gravure model. *silence* So yeah, we'll just put them in a theme and then say they BOTH win. *laughs* I lost, I lost so much blood-

Now that the introduction's over and my patience is at its limit LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

(Sorry to my phone camera in advance you are going to burn out more often than I do haha *dabs*)

Such a great bundle, and you bet my thumb is at the right place haha
*dabs*

写真集 Lynn 1st Photobook "Rin"
I can't figure out whether this cover is better or Ede-chan's to be honest
(Yup, thumb on point)

Aw, why you slap the "first and last book" thing on here you barely started-

Gotta start recognizing the "Okinawa" word there you gonna see that again

So essentially this is a location-based photobook similar to the other one we will be reviewing, but considering this is voice actress Lynn-san's first time at this and she went to such an extent even showing us her slender body dressed in as little clothing as possible to the level of bikini in the sandy beaches of Okinawa... I can NOT ask for more of it. Really, if you wanted a mixed race girlfriend, boy do I have a recommendation for you. *giggles* Rin-san let's see what you have to offer *wink*

She's a beauty, ain't she?

With a little spice of cute, I'll give you that

Yeah, you see that front? You saw that?? *giggles*
Oh the hat suits her haha

Oh and just a warning, that you as a man might be quite distracted to not her face in a little bit, just so you know. Been there, done that. *laughs*

Me when I knew that Lynn-san is releasing a photobook haha

I wish time could stop at this moment like, forever.

Idealism might be hard to achieve, but in photobooks Okinawa, it all seems possible
(lol)

Okay, showing belly button now, we're getting warmer
(Haha I know, the tension, dude)

Beautiful torso is not what I would use to describe anyone but for her it's rather accurate

Never wanted to be the wall this bad- She can be my boyfriend I don't care
(You heard of cool girlfriends before?)

Like seriously, how much?
To pay for the drink?
Heck, to pay for another straw?
*giggles*

Not exactly a pro at billiards but if you want to play with balls I-
(I'm sorry for the dirty jokes)

Side profile because if you think she has chest don't think too much lmao

Still, she might still be the hottest voice actress to show this much in a photobook
(Personal opinion, by the way)

YES!!!
(Haha I've never been so excited reviewing a photobook in my life)

Doesn't even have rack and can already fill my tension meter up-

Someone had to splash water at her to make this, think about it
(Haha)

Like, I'm not even looking at her face at this point
*giggles*

Moments where I just blatantly stare at her rack
(You too, we know)

She is so, so perfectly wet I can't even
(lol)

And who even cares about her eating burgers lmao
*dabs*

Oh, black and white effect? I thought I saw a red dress in the previews

Oh ok this is more like it hehe

Girls when I ask to date them lol

Why are walls getting laid more often than me? Why is that?
(Haha *sob*)

This is called their "look at my bare legs" shot

Not too obvious but she has a beautiful back too

Oh and if you didn't know of her with horses (that's just in general too, most women like them) you may not know her obsession of betting on horse races (and winning them too)

So much so she is recently in a horse-racing magazine with an interview. Yep, that's how far off the voice actress perpendicular she went haha no one even comes close to her in this aspect by the way

Might as well just reincarnate as a horse haha

She just cute, isn't she?
(I feel like I said this before but)

And this is the second time you came lol bed scene!!

Really, between this and Asakura Momo on her 2nd photobook... THIS.
*giggles*

Imagine seeing this in the morning. I will believe I must have done something real bad haha

God, if I had to take a shot in every single shot of this page alone I'll drink 4 glasses of vodka haha

And... this is going to be the first of many times my phone camera gave up! *laughs* Seriously though, the hard limit on phones heating up while taking too many photos need to GO AWAY lol I'm just taking photos of a book, Google phone, you gotta relax *laughs*

Even as a bookmark this is such a good bromide photo haha *dabs*

...And we're back!! Haha we almost there guys

Like, I want you to tell me a shot in this review so far that you DIDN'T like.
There is none *giggles*

The sunset's not important at this point haha

Beautiful smile, what else?

Again, not looking at face, or water, or sunset-

Probably her joy when they finished taking photos for the book and she doesn't have to go on a diet again lol

This is not a lot of Q&A so let's get to know her (better)

*Can be kelp too, I don't know sushi that well to say this
**She only wrote "forest" and ironically I know she plays "The Forest of Animals" which you might be familiar with its English title "Animal Crossing"; Normally abbreviated as "DoubuMori"
***There can only be one of such a title tbh, and thanks to Kohara Konomi I knew of this classic from 2014

Her time schedules on days of work and days off.
She notes that the ON schedule is mostly what was in 2021 (wow), and I like how she sleeps more on OFF schedule and watch horse-racing (lol) and plays video games.
That one hour of bath though haha I like

See, that hour-long bath is if she had a sauna at her home lmao for now it might be just a bathtub

Hey dad who is more rad than my dad haha

As not really a fan I still lost to her mom and... people in her talent agency?
Ooo that is a hint right there hehe

You, who bought this first and last "1st photobook".
Thank you so much!!
Location and outfits and makeup and expressions, I (did) it with the best of my tastes.
(I) created such a treasure.
Walking this far and meeting all the people along the way and linked together,
that was what made "Rin" today.
(I) thank (you) from my heart.
And so from here on, facing forward, with a smile.

Lynn

Thank YOU for the photobook, really. Especially when you say it's your first and last it only makes this review all the more precious and worth it since you are not printing new ones every other year like everyone else lol looking at you Uesaka Sumire

How often can I switch women to be on my bed every night?
Haha asking for a friend

This back cover is a decent summary of her body *wink*

All in all, a really good photobook without much interviews and stuff, straight to the point whether it's with regards to content and/or showing as much of her body to us as possible *giggles*, I gotta say I've never wanted to recommend a photobook this bad to anyone. Turning 30, by the way. *giggles* I'm SO GLAD I avoided all the damn spoilers online because this is also available on release date in digital by the way at the same price, and goddamn this is worth all the content on it. Again, coming from such a beauty as Lynn-san herself, really makes you wonder how she took this long to agree to do a commemorative photobook, but what am I to say? "To go to sleep with gratefulness", remember? Hehe thanks Lynn-san everyone who bought this photobook needed it to be honest

And now you WIPE ALL OF THAT WHOLESOME CONTENT AWAY because

NEXT

UP!!!

*laughs*


写真集 Sano Hinako Photobook "BE WITH ME"
G cup, by the way.
It's B84 and on the lower end but still.

Oh I'm with you alright haha to celebrate Sano Hinako and her 10th year since her debut as a gravure model and drama actress (by the way, I knew her through that first) (haha) we are truly blessed with a supersized photobook of epic proportions which will make you wonder why I even bought Baba Fumika's photobook where she went to Australia because THIS is the definition of a photobook from a gravure model. Just shots to please, and images to jack- Okay I shouldn't say that haha, but this book will make you think. Really, this industry veteran will show you how it's done haha

So yeah here's your Okinawa word reference, second line by the way.
And yeah she has a million followers on Instagram I know it's not much but with her standards though?
I would just show you a short video and you'll love her

WOAH WOAH
(Haha thought it'll be a great way to read the book without the inlet covers but)

BOOBA!!
(Haha)

Sano Hinako, by the way.
I'm just showing you her rather adorable face filled with spots before we move on *laughs*

Yeah, she has that different angle face that'll turn her into another person

Nice cleavage, by the way
(Haha)

She's got them legs too, hard to show in this but

Summer is all about them summer outfits, right?
Nice belly too hehe

Just, so much perfections and high standards in these gravure shots I can't even

So, so much skin...

Somehow looking at that frisbee is also making me nosebleed haha

Not tight demins to show her thighs or something but I'll take it

Yeah, the appeal in this outfit is side boob, by the way.
YES!
*laughs*

Despite the lack of chest I like this particular shot somehow

I took a photo and I'm like "doesn't even show booba" so I zoomed out lmao

When I see no booba and I see her face and I still think she looks great
*dabs*

And... I'm going to get banned lmao
(No seriously, I may have to censor this image now)

Just more shots to please your eyes
(Gotta say, she's got a nice rear-)

More of her chest shots because why not
(You're welcome)

This is so sexy cute girlfriend mode I can't even

Kinda wish I can put this as my wallpaper... for my secondary web browser haha I'll never put this as my main wallpaper

That face when I woke up proves that I DEFINITELY did her last night-
*dabs*

NICE ASS BABY
(lol sorry but I gotta)

And... she's wet.
*laughs*

Like, so, so wet...

... Ugh, so wet haha ah-

My girl when I suddenly walked into the bathroom?
Haha

Well, as you may have known, gravure differs from porno in Japan in that the models will NEVER be naked so even if it's in a bath they will be clothed.

Sorry for ruining the surprise but *laughs* yeah if nudity happens like that Itou Mayuki calendar I will NOT be doing this review lmao

I want to be the bottle so I can kiss her haha

Oh boat trip? Nice!
Also nice pendant or something haha

Me when I have to take a break from this photobook's goodness lol

Probably also around the time the phone camera gave up again- It gave up TWO TIMES in this book by the way that's how much awesomeness there is all slapped on this huge book.

Cheaper than Lynn-san's book by the way lmao

If you need a more sexy side of her which she usually exudes in my opinion, here you go

Sexiness with nice cleavage too

See, sometimes they get you with the cute Hinako hehe

More bed scenes? Is this even legal??
(lol)

Legit saw this and thought her cleavage was at the knee lmao
(You get it, right? Haha)

Hiding under the sheets I may just accidentally f**k you- #NotAPorno

And my dream is to see this when I wake up every morning haha
(And she is one year younger than me too WTF??)

Is there such a thing as China-themed underwear?
Because this is it

Close-ups here and there and everywhere in this book

MEGANE YES!!!
(Haha does it even matter anymore)
(To me, yes, why not)

Yeah you see how they got you with a chance at her underboob? Hehe I know right

They don't even bother showing face anymore lmao

Are you even a fan of basketball, me?
*laughs*

In case you have never seen gravure magazines before, it's pretty much like this haha

Never thought I'd want to put a sausage in between those-

Somehow they think the sand makes you even more excited to be with them lmao title drop

This is very very very borderline illegal I tell you
(Imagination is in the mind of the pervert, they say)

Very iconic in gravure though not as illegal as the side boob thing just now though that is... I should just blur that image just in case haha

It's like the sunset is non-existent lol I'm already burnt
(Haha)

She looks great with sunglasses though

Really, this is G cup?
I find it hard to believe bring in Fumika-chan here haha

And this is the number one reason why I want her to be my girlfriend.
Second was her acting in drama "Shinya no Damekoi Zukan" as super supportive partner

No really, you should go watch and see how dedicated that character was to her useless boyfriend I wish I was that dude in real life lmao

All in all... this is a long one but I'm more than just impressed. I'm not surprised though, considering I've seen her appearing in gravure shots online in many mediums over the years, this is only just adding to my love meter of her beautiful image, and why she deserved this decade long photobook. Then again I hardly know her from her mahjong skills displayed on YouTube to her drama acting I've only seen the one to be honest... I still think she's such a beauty, I feel like this was the best chance to pay her back. You're welcome, Hinako-san. If I can bring any girlfriend to even pretend to show off to my parents, you are definitely one of them.

If I had to choose between Lynn-san and you though I'll take you first hehe sshh don't tell her *wink*

Allure is hard to explain, but I can show you.
This.

Size of photobook is proportional to the size of your weiner lol *dabs*
I... I- You can tell that I'm speechless at this point, right? I know the above images have captions and all, but after seeing two books with so much skin and butt and chest... I mean, I got real tired for some reason after all this. *laughs* Yes, they are both beautiful women and honestly saying pitting them against each other might still be quite a showdown because Lynn-san is pretty (and) alluring and Sano Hinako... having her as my girlfriend will be a sin. *silence* I feel like that's a problem anyhow we better stop WE BETTER STOP NOW-




Okay okay this will be all. *laughs* I will of course spend the weekend filling in the Q&A stuff from Lynn-san because we don't need to know more of the other one in person anyways I don't even like to speak Chinese. *laughs* (Can you be racist towards yourself? Haha) Ah hey, to be honest with you though? Still will treasure Lynn's one and only bikini experience compared to this model who has shown much skin since a decade ago. Yeah, where were you a decade ago lol Baba Fumika wasn't even a model yet *dabs* Yeah yeah I need to calm down lol my heart is just pounding too much just staring at this post lmao I need to lie down it's gonna strike twelve soon

P.S. There is no space left lmao what am I to do...
15 books, by the way, plus we're still hanging that calendar book too
*dabs*

P.P.S.
