Okay which smart aleck thought shipping this quickly and not as expected from
me ie. a month later after the previous package, was a good idea? My
perfection, all ruined!! Haha who cares we might as well do this now!
Oh yeah, the title. *laughs* Hey I am technically correct, okay? It's as much
as they give me as I've given back to them but do they accept my feelings back
is another thing lol also accepting them is an opt-in system haha idolism in a
nutshell
We got a lot to talk about actually so let's see how much I've padded this
order!! Haha no really, the book is the only thing planned lmao that's how you
know it's Valentine's my birthday 2023 oh
well it's all the same
[Edit: Oh dammit I forgot it's International Women's Day but seriously, I am
literally buying so many female idol items in the face of taxation so you tell
me if I respect and love women *dabs*]

|
|
Smaller box than the previous one but I promise you, I PROMISE YOU, this
has the good stuff
|
|
|
Oh yeah I saw this romance Anime before, not interested though
|
|
|
Oh haha yeah I got more of the unintentional excitement incoming
|
|
|
Wow new bubble packaging? To be honest this has quite the shape tbh
|
|
|
Okay ladies we will talk about you in a bit hehe
|
|
|
Rikachimalu my dear you will get a dedicated post where I will stare you
down all the way-
|
|
Haha very blue you know what that means
(Also, that black spot on
the corner is a
capsule
FYI)
|
|
|
AAAAHHHH NAN-CHAN!!! lol
|
Okay let's get the boring stuff out of the day lmao okay, and this is actually
legit the birthday present I'm waiting for, this is a
birthday card from Minase Inori's fanclub!! We did this 2 years ago if
you would recall, this definitely is a nostalgia trip just seeing it first
back then, but don't expect this to be done specially for you because all fans
get them when it's their turn, so I got it earlier or later or I don't know
when they print these things every year. And this time, I'm wise enough to not
take photos of the actual content so you can
go f**k yourself go sign up for the fanclub to get yours
for the year! Well, if your birthday is in the first three months then I can't
help you now *laughs*
|
Oh this has more than two pages, nice
(lol)
|
|
|
Yeah that's all you get to see, by the way. *giggles*
(Her birthday
message is along the lines of "accumulating memories" again haha LAME)
|
|
YESH BROMIDES
(You can never change my mind, NEVER)
|
|
|
Yup, this is just the one, not two, not more
|
Hell yeah first padding of the package we have!! *laughs* No this was not
padding the order, this was going to be a real long story, because we have
Tomita Miyu live tour bromides!! I'm not buying anything else from this
current line-up from ASMART mainly because we will be talking about how
Miyu-chan managed to have a Raffle
gacha thing
similar to marupi-chan which you have seen over the whole of last year so we
will definitely talk more about her then, and I thought of just getting these
might not be enough to be worth the trip. So while I was searching the site, I
saw
Ueda Reina's solo artist gallery goods also in there and sadly most
of the stuff sold out, but not for (not region locked) (yes looking at you
MusicRay'n Capsule Toy lol you need a Japanese phone verification on that) her own random
capsule as a store item and I took the liberty to just buy one since none of
the prizes are like, Ueshama bromides or something. *dabs* There aren't any of
those, so I was hoping that this will be one of the two keychains as I see
from
the prizes list
so I can replace the one on my work bag, and I got it! So yay, she is now part
of my life, sort of. For these two though where I started listening to their
solo artist songs the past few years, we are definitely just beginning...
*giggles*
|
This is a cat...?
Yeah someone's gotta see my bag and think I'm a
cat lover now lol
(When I place my bag under the desk all day?
Probably never)
|
Oh and should I remind you that they have a ring over the keychain clip
because what if I told you that you can have a clip on your side and/or may
not be able to fit the flip they have so this is that workaround?? Japan as
usual, thinking too much haha
|
Hey TrySail keychain it has been a great time...
*laughs*
|
|
Nice!
Nice.
Neko
da haha
|
|
|
Random bromide time!! We have
10 + 3 rare ones
so 1 out of 1, good start haha I like this already
|
|
2 out of 2- Wait, this IS the rare one!!
Haha oh wow this is
actually adorable
(Okay one of the rare ones there are 3
of them)
|
|
|
Okay, holding the disco ball instead of hanging it haha 3 out of 3
by the way
|
|
|
And I only bought 4 which will already make me 49% susceptible to
duplicates not including rares so I'm just glad I even got a rare
one tbh
|
|
|
Oh wait wait I gotta prep a little for this bit haha oh hey Ten-chan
shorts *giggles*
|
|
|
Wow the colour difference is a little...
|
So let's start with the
MusicRay'n Valentine's Day Special!!!
Mainly the focus of this post apart from the photobook and because this talent
company is a scheming bastard who thought it'll be a great idea to get me to buy
more stuff AFTER I did it once to start the year, they started a
Valentine's Day campaign
last month where every 3000yen spent will entitle you to choose one of the
FOURTEEN MusicRay'n talents
including 2 singers which I'm glad I didn't end up getting them because unlike
their usual approach of giving us these in random, we get to indicate in our
order WHICH ONES WE WANT!!! *screams* BUT!! In a cruel effort to make myself
happier or sadder turning 30 because this campaign ends literally when I end my
birthday, as you will see much later below I let my bro choose which ones I
would want, or randomize them and leave it to fate. Interestingly, he did NOT do
that, and considering we talk about them quite often especially the newer 3rd
gen members he liked Moka-chan haha should have intentionally purchased more and
get one for him but I didn't, he chose the TrySail members just because he knew
I liked them... but replaced Ten-chan with 3rd gen's Koharu-chan. *smiles* See,
he knows me, dude. *giggles* His reasoning is also on point; Ten-chan's photo on
the card didn't look as good haha
|
\ 0o0 /
(Haha)
|
As to the price I had to pay for this though? Yeah remember when I mentioned
about all the stuff I bought two months ago which included what, a tea mug and
other stuff? Not going to buy those again so next on my list which I did not
intend to buy were those
Ten-chan pants which will literally complete
my outfit haha thanks Amamiya Sora I have no intention to continue this meme
move but I did *dabs*, and I did know the new girls a little more since last
year when this
first set of 3rd gen bromides appeared for their event
in 2022 so I might as well get them now. Don't ask which one I like hehe I
will talk about them separately to not ruin the impression haha also directly
selling bromides to fans??? That's not very MusicRay'n of them lol
|
11 bromides for 1600yen? What a deal!!
(Can I have refund for a
third of them, please? lol)
|
|
|
*sigh* I just HATE these types of peel offs I can't even
|
|
Wow they are going eco friendly with these paper bags, eh?
Wait,
does that mean I have to cut the ribbon tying these up off? Oh well
|
|
So this is how they keep the bromides in!
Nice! Hey other stores
take note haha
|
|
Gotta place the family photo up front and centre haha
(Also no
duplicates here I just want to show these off)
|
|
|
That's... uh... *looks at website* Kanata haha I still don't
remember her name
|
|
|
Oh that's Mirai-chan lol I won't zoom in to see her though lmao
|
|
Ooo this one is nice it's Kokona-chan! Might be best one so far
tbh
(Sorry Aizawa Kanata~)
|
|
Oh Moka-chan is here! If anyone likes cute girls I guess this is the
best recommendation here
(Also this is getting hard to follow
why did I place them randomly around)
|
|
Hell yeah Koharu-chan!!! *giggles*
That's it, I gotta put this
on my photo frame now haha *dabs*
|
|
|
More... Kanata-san lol I'm so sorry dear girl
|
|
Ah hey more Mirai-chan if you really want to see her face-
(I
mean, maaaaybe some
sexy appeal? I don't know she's not my type though lol)
|
|
|
More Kokona-chan I can barely see her from this I'm so sorry
|
|
Okay Moka-chan wins haha she can't be beat
(Also, then realized
I left so much space on top so live with it lol)
|
|
|
And we end with Koharu-chan haha SHE can't be beat hehe
|
|
Nan-chan~!! Haha
imouto
just telling her brother to eat chocolates dude
*points at
self multiple times*
|
|
So there you go, Valentine's Day postcards that came with purchase!
Balloons
be the theme even though none of them have-
|
|
Oh? I like this "appreciation chocolate" theme here neither
obligatory
or
sentiment
(Yeah thanking me for clearing the store haha)
|
|
Mocho asking me if I ate chocolates lmao that's it huh
*laughs*
|
Okay I need life-life balance which are the Everyday Life tag in this blog
and my weak a** 30-year-old real life of necessity including to sleep on
time so I will not rush this package and focus on the photobook review
tomorrow. Night. Yeah, after the new DOAXVV update. Don't think I'll take
urgent leave just for this. *laughs* Will update if I get any event SSRs.
*laughs* Hey, this one came in a week early, ok? I planned for this to be a
White Day special and it disappointed me. *giggles* It's fine though, I'll
just finish this up before Touyama Nao's birthday this weekend before she
reminds me of how I bought TWO BOOKS from her with photos lesser than the
upcoming one I'm going to review because those are nothing close to a
photobook. *silence* See you then haha
P.S. Since we are at it and I've recently (sort of) listened to them talk
for half an hour each because their Twitter short audio log series aptly
named "
Together (in the) Morning" where they talk for 140 seconds (read as "i-shi-o",
quickly said as "issho") reached their 333th... episode(?) so I guess they
doing a special where
they do a Twitter Space live each
talking about basically anything that evening for the past 5 weekdays. Yeah,
like how Mirai-chan's birthday was on last Saturday lol. So yeah, maybe I
shall rank them based on this since apart from just from the photos above
lmao since we now have a bigger picture of what I think of the MusicRay'n
3rd gen, 3 years later! lol
To help you and me out, their names will be colour coded so this won't be
that subtle compared to when I ranked the TrySail girls. From left to right
in decreasing... uh, like lol. So let's, and don't dosh me if you think
otherwise I would say I will (likely) change my mind in the future:
| Name |
Koharu |
Moka |
Kokona |
Kanata |
Mirai |
| Looks |
|
|
|
|
|
| Name |
Mirai |
Koharu |
Kokona |
Kanata |
Moka |
Voice/
Character |
|
|
|
|
|
Please, I started with Koharu-chan you can't do this to me, me. *laughs* For
looks I won't bother it's subjective (hehe I'm safe now), but in terms of
character from what I hear of them Kokona sounds like a Kotobuki Minako
which will be above average appeal which is fine by me, didn't expect
Mirai-chan to sound adorable especially when laughing that one got me good I
swear, and Moka-chan sounds like a less cute Natsukawa Shiina who talks a
lot and we can't have two imouto here so no thanks. *laughs*
No, no overall assessment you can leave now-
Koharu-chan. *laughs*
