"Wait, what?"
You may wonder to yourself what is with the title and
the opening I chose above for this post, because besides the reasons behind why
I wanted to write this celebratory birthday post of what I got for myself, it's
also to ask myself what I think of these girls that I've truly, for this case,
seen them grow from the beginning. Well, at least, the closest to the beginning
I know of.
THE BACKGROUND
A little bit of background
before we start so that you can feel how hyped I am already at this point.
(Since after this it's most likely just images lol) When it was close to my
birthday many things happened, and among all of them one Natsukawa Shiina
announced her first original photobook (unlike her real first which was from a
compiled series in a magazine) which will be releasing exactly one day after my
birthday. Of course, it will not be able to reach my hands immediately
considering I don't live in Japan, so this had to wait. And suddenly, a thought
came into my mind, and I said to myself "Why not give all three of them?" and
yes, I meant the TrySail girls. Those girls I gave like half a dozen CDs on if
you knew of Klassic Note. So I went on a journey to acquire all three photobooks
in very different ways since the other two from Asakura Momo and Amamiya Sora
aren't that new as of writing (about six months after release already), so...
yeah. I decided to talk about what I got now. At least, on my birthday, I did
not regret the least of clicking the order button on all three photobooks, now
that I got to see them all. *salivates and kisses books*
THE
HAPPENINGS
Okay ONE more paragraph before we start (haha I know you guys
anxious to see boobs lmao) (only cleavage though, I can promise only that)
because I have to talk about how far I went to get these. For Natsukawa Shiina
(Nan-chan) it had to be a pre-order (YES!) and there was a new proxy shipping
service AOCS in town, so I decided to try it out. Eh, mostly because of free
handling fees for first time but I swear it wasn't much and Tenso is faster
haha. I'm glad it got here today and not next week though, thank goodness. For
Asakura Momo (Mocho) and Amamiya Sora (Ten-chan) I got their books through
Rakuten and then Buyee, which probably costed a lot more if not considering I
wanted to buy everything else in one place. (we'll get to that later, but) Then
again it was cheaper considering how long they've been around, so heck, I'll
take that. I also considered to complete the collection like Nan-chan's
photobook with a special gift from the pre-order, and since I didn't pre-order
for the other, I decided to (yes, illegally) snatch a couple online where I can.
Mocho's special gift came from an auction (we'll talk about the condition of the
goods later) and it was like 5 bucks (excluding shipping and handling fees lol)
so yeah why not? Ten-chan's special gift was from a shop I think, and it's also
cheap too (considering I haven't paid for shipping lol) so yeah, that was one of
the few choices I had to make. All three gifts were B2 posters though, as I'll
show you guys later. Obviously the not pre-order goods came in faster, so it had
to sit around for the week which was a week after my birthday (you know how hard
it is to not open inside to see the books when it's THIS close to you?) and
thank goodness the pre-order came in as expected since my country's postal
service works Saturdays and I don't have to review these next Monday. Phew!
Okay, let's get into it, shall we? *wipes nosebleed*
THE
"REVIEWS"
Yes basically I'm reviewing three photobooks haha. And since this
is going to be one long post, I'll make this easier on all of us by listing them
here to it's easier for you all to access whoever you like, of all of them if
you're me so why skip anything? Haha here's the list in reviewing order:
[*Those
are NOT affiliate links I just want to make it searchable for people interested]
In a nutshell, pre-order first just because she's my favourite girl now,
then Ten-chan since I've not seen before at all, and Mochoooooooo~ lol (And
also, Mocho's 1st is the same as Nan-chan's, and Ten-chan's 1st was 4 years
ago haha so this is her obligatory 25th birthday photobook where people go as
extreme as bikinis but I guess this is what we'll get haha)
LET'S
BEGIN!!
This post will from here in be presented in images, as I
try to avoid fan crazy comments and do this legit with valid captions (even
though I know I won't be able to hold back because they are idol and- yeah
yeah I get it haha)
"Oh?"
(This is how it works if no one is at home they place it in your apartment
unit's unique power riser closet which is NOT secure btw)
"-Argh
it's heavy!! And it's huge too!!"
|
|
"OMG what have I done..."
|
|
| "Oh?" |
|
|
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
|
|
|
The two photobooks which are not pre-order so they came in early,
along with...
|
|
... their special gifts specially "included" with the photobooks.
Rolled
up because they are posters.
|
"I won't be hanging these up in my room that's for sure. A calendar is shady
enough for my parents to gossip haha. Besides, I'm not
that much of a
nerd lol"
"..."
"Wait, I have to wait for Nan-chan to
open these books?? Must... resist... opening them up..."
*One
hectic work week later*
|
| IT'S HERE!!! |
|
| "Oh?" |
|
| "There it is..." |
|
| "K-Kawaii..." |
(Btw stealing the title bar from The Entertainment News design format
'cos why not haha)
(All images thereafter will be available for larger
viewing, if you want to see a little more detail) (No gallery mode because
Blogger sucks lol
写真集
Natsukawa Shiina 1st Photobook "Nukegara"
|
|
First up: Nan-chan! Oh boy I can't wait to take a look at this.
|
(She mentioned in her blog and for the topic of the photobook: All scenarios
are planned by herself, describing things that she does or does not do in her
interpretation of what seems to be life. What exactly though, we have to look
on to find out)
|
|
lol I need to buy face masks for her *memo memo* haha
|
|
|
Gotta lick that rice up when you make that
onigiri, yes? No food
wastage there hehe
|
|
|
Aw, solo meals? Can I join, please? I'm hungry too... *giggles*
|
|
Haha she can't reach the bottom of the washing machine
(Please,
allow me to help you lol)
|
|
*kun kun*
Smells good! Haha
(I want her to-)
|
|
YES!
(Sorry, can't help)
|
|
|
If you zoom in closer you can see her ches-
|
|
|
I'm ashamed to have seen this, Nan-chan, but you... you...!!! Thanks
haha
|
|
Forehead-Out Shiina is back!
(That's a TrySail live reference
there haha)
|
|
Ah, so stereotypical playing of fireworks sparklers
on a summer's night?
Actually any night would do so long as she's
around hehe
|
|
|
If she's the lady boss of the cafe I want to be the boss hehe
|
|
I'm getting Aki-chan cafe date flashbacks real quick.
This will
do too actually hehe
|
|
Oh she's blowing on that flower I don't remember what it's called!!
(lol)
Been there done that btw
|
|
|
Can I be the sensei? Please? She looks tired from studying...
|
|
BELOW THE KOTATSU! THAT HEAT!! AAHH!!!
I'm getting erotic
thoughts already lmao
|
|
|
Me when I try to nap in the afternoon without taking my glasses off
lol
|
|
Oh no, she got a fever? Poor thing...
(Wait they do falling sick
images on photobooks? lol)
|
|
|
Marie Kondo but cuter hehe
|
|
|
Oh she was packing to leave! Nan-chan why though...
|
|
All good things have to end I guess.
(Gotta love that shy look at
the top right corner hehe)
|
(And it was then I realised that this book was describing a teenager
living a life away from home. Think about it: I'm that manager who rented her
a room to stay so she can study for university, and she's that budding young
adult trying to get herself a degree. From cooking and doing laundry alone,
getting part time jobs, studying and falling sick sometimes but eventually
graduating and saying goodbye, this must be the best 4 years of my life as a
manager hehe. Thanks for spawning those vivid imaginations in me, Nan-chan; I
really appreciate it.)
|
Wow feedback form with free postage? Sure, let me pay for postage TO
Japan first lol
("Best publication ever, no further comment"
haha)
|
POSTERS TIME!!!
Let's take a break to look at the special gifts
that "came with" the three photobooks, shall we?
|
Firstly, Nan-chan!
I could ride it and you can sit on the back
hehe this one I like
|
|
It's Ten-chan!
Looks better not rotated somehow, this image.
Sexy.
*giggles*
|
|
|
As this was from the store second-hand it has its own flaws
|
|
Last but not least, Mocho!
That forehead man... why cover the
chest though? lol
|
|
|
For an auctioned good, this is in surprisingly good condition compared
to the previous one.
|
Let's proceed to the next book, shall we? We're not even halfway done.
|
|
I look at this and I know I'm going to enjoy this already hehe
|
写真集 Amamiya Sora Photobook "10 looks"
|
Next up: Ten-chan and her new photobook! I know she's been cute all
this time but what about being sexy?
This might answer all of it
for us I assume. It's for her 25th birthday too
|
|
|
I noticed this slip when I tried to tear off the plastic and I guess
this is how they check stock? Interesting...
|
|
[1st look] She's already flirting with me lol
(If you noticed her
eyes that's the reflection of the lighting required to take this
photo)
|
|
Without the flower it's even better!! Haha
(Again, it happens
when photographers cannot draw in natural lighting and have to use
camera light rings)
|
|
|
[2nd look] Possibly also my favourite, and it's not because of how
much skin she is showing on her back
|
|
| *thumbs up* |
|
|
I must say this is my favourite type of smile from her, just slightly
showing some teeth hehe
|
|
|
She pure enough for you guys? She is for me hehe
|
|
Okay you win Ten-chan you're cute haha
(Also,
mie haha)
|
(In Japan, "mie" or みえ simply refers to accidentally seeing something no
matter how small the chances, but typically in the erotic form so cleavages,
panties lol, and girls bending over all count haha)
|
[3rd look] THIS.
"All I wanted in life is Ten-chan to wear a
simple blouse without blocking her front" hehe
|
|
|
Also in life I want to be stepped on? Uh, not a masochist but whatever
she's sadist hehe
|
|
|
|
God, these chest shots are bringing up my boner haha sorry Ten-chan
|
|
[4th look] Simple, white dress.
My definition of her beauty. She
looks well in any dress because of her slender figure, I guess.
|
|
|
Very, very sexy, this one.
|
|
[6th look] Why she look old in this?
*looks through photobook
again*
Ah, the dress is see-through if you zoom in to look hehe
|
|
|
[7th look] Again, showing that back skin hehe
|
|
|
I freakout when she looks at me this way tbh
|
|
Yeah, there's a lot of these shots of her lying around in this book,
AND I LIKE.
*giggles*
|
|
|
[8th look] She trying out the latest fashion trends this season? Haha
|
|
|
I kinda love this actually it suits her a lot based on this shot
|
|
|
[9th look] Because a dress with some scarf as accessory will make it
an outfit lol
|
|
|
Didn't I say she has a slender figure? *pants*
|
(Yeah, you could also call them diners too actually) (Yes not talking about
her ches-)
|
|
This is why Ten-chan is cute, seriously.
|
|
|
|
Man, Ten-chan pouting with her wide cheeks must be the cutest thing
ever
|
|
|
The behind-the-scenes photos are better than the book itself lmao
she's too cute already!!
|
As you may have noticed, this photobook is just Ten-chan in 10...
outfits, yes. Easy concept for a photobook, but they did take a lot of
wonderful shots, and most of them aren't what we see in her previous
photobooks or even anywhere else especially the sexy parts, so... I'm grateful
haha no bikini though *laughs* That's not an outfit? lol
|
What's this? Oh they are insurance pamphlets...
(They stuff those
in the packaging? Okay, that's new...)
|
|
(Oh, it's this thing again.)
What it looks like when not fully
pulled out
|
写真集
Asakura Momo 1st Photobook "pleasant"
|
Last but not least... (her chest isn't the least hehe)
Very
healthy cover though, no cleavage whatsoever haha
|
|
"MOCHO
DARAKE"??
I'm going
to enjoy this already even though I've totally spoiled myself six
months ago
|
(Some context first: This is just a photobook which the theme is based on a
trip overseas, a very common approach to making a photobook haha. For Mocho
the production chose Guam instead of I guess Europe is expensive? Hey, gotta
earn more money from this girl haha they know Ayachi earns a lot but this one
maybe... lol)
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #1:
"It's a plane!" *poses as
plane*
(Ah, it's so Mocho-like)
|
|
|
From this shot and I know I'm going to see a lot more chests hehe
|
|
I literally came when I saw this haha sorry Mocho
(Overjoyed with
excitement, guys. Excitement. It's not what you think)
|
|
|
Whoever suggested that her wearing this on standing water is a good
idea needs a pay raise haha
|
|
|
I bet this is really how she sleeps at home too lmao
|
|
You got a spare toothbrush?
Sorry I woke you up this early (for
the photo shoot lol)
|
|
|
My
megane
fetish is triggered once again after seeing Nan-chan in one
|
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #2:
Tasting the salt water with
your finger lol wtf
|
|
Aw she got her hands full of sand!
Allow me to
lick wipe it up for you haha
(THAT CLEAVAGE
THOUGH!!!)
|
|
And when it's hanging it looks even better!!! Haha
(Yes I am
talking about her front can't lie here)
|
|
|
Now if she's on top of me...
|
|
... make sure the shirt is see through so I can see the bikini inside
haha
(This is as far as we will see anything close to boobs,
guys.)
|
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #3:
Stand on a yoga pose by the
swimming pool.
I want to push her down so bad... I wonder if the
staff did it haha
|
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #4:
Trying to eat a model ice cream
lol
(It's so big it can't fit in her mouth lmao)
|
(You think she'll get those sex jokes? I guess not huh she may still be
too-pure-pure-girl at her age)
|
And... we didn't get to see her drenched.
No, this was the last
shot she didn't turn around.
Sadded.
*laughs*
|
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #5:
Pretend to ride a bicycle.
Really
makes me wonder if she really knows how to ride one.
And if you
can't there is me hehe
|
|
Stupid things to do on a trip #6:
Pretend to kick a soccer
ball.
It never ends well.
I speak from experience haha
|
|
| Sexy Mocho #1 |
|
Ah STUPID THINGS TO DO ON A TRIP #7:
Standing on a bar stool.
Well,
just get down from up there already, yes?
|
|
|
This forehead is so cute I can even forgive those eye bags haha
|
(Oh what? She privated her Instagram account? Oh sorry back to Mocho I'm
sorry)
|
|
I'd like to imagine she isn't wearing anything beneath so you should
too hehe
|
|
Sexy Mocho #3
*nosebleeds*
|
|
All you need to know is that she had this hairstyle for a day in the
theme park.
Yeah.
|
|
|
More cleavage? I'll take it!! *nosebleeds*
|
|
Oh she told me to come over? What might it be...?
(Answer: It's a
guava. She wants to throw it at me?)
|
|
|
This expression is priceless it's like they knew to tell her to do
this haha
|
So yeah, cleavage. No real showing of boobs though; this is a healthy
photobook, not rated at all. I want more though, she has such potential in
every angle we've seen so far, and the rest of the book says things. I just
wanna-
THE REASON(S) FOR ALL THIS
I did tell myself not to
buy anything idol related since you know, capitalism and it's a never-ending
hole to dump money in to support them only spiritually since I'll never meet
them for the rest of my life (or will I?) (dreams will count for me haha), but
why this time around? Maybe it's time to support them in some way, I don't
know, or it's just an excuse for me to get something for myself on my birthday
today because why not, but I think this time it's a little different compared
to the last time why I didn't choose a TrySail calendar and instead chose
Sumipe haha. I'll leave you guys to more reasons why I would buy this
considering I'm not as enthusiastic as others who will buy two just to rip one
apart and scan them digitally as these are only physical copy only, or neither
do I think the money spent is justifiable. 80 bucks for a photobook on average
this time around maaaaay be too much, I would argue. My local Japan bookstore
sells them at like, 70. Well there's the special gifts too so I guess hehe
My final word is, I might just have thought of buying them all because
I... I want a Valentine's Day gift. And thinking about the idea of not getting
something for myself makes single me really, really sad. Hey, welcome to the
idolism fanatic, me. Can't shake this off my chest now that I've bought them
all haha
THE ANSWER
So... what about the title of this post?
"I used to have an answer to this question, but now that I like them all, I
don't." - Kaineng
That's my answer, to be honest. Mocho is cute and has a rack, Ten-chan is
waifu to me especially when we're same age but I think she may be too high to
climb for me, and Nan-chan is my video game-loving younger sister if I ever
had one. Sadly she is the oldest sibling in her family, so... can we have a
DomeKano plot where my dad marries their mother? lol
...
I'll
end this post then with my answer if I'm not wrong on the year I knew about
all of them, meaning around the year 2015 because Ten-chan I knew her a year
before that. (Well, Nan-chan was in Anime "Sora no Method" which aired in 2014
but it's not like I took interest in her) So again, ladies, I like you all
now, so no offense, yes?
| F**K |
MARRY |
KILL |
|
|
|
|
| Because of THAT RACK lol |
Same age, but she'd make a tough wife to keep up with if you know her
character
