The Fanfiction 20230721

Oh I'm writing this a day early because I'm going to be busy this weekend and yes it's because of Anime but also I'm going out so I'm not spending the usual Saturday evening doing this up. Besides, I can do this WHENEVER I WANT it just has to be a weekly post. *silence* Or not, we might not keep that momentum if I can't find something for next week to end the month. *giggles*


Well, this week's guest is most definitely coinciding with their birthday a couple of days ago so I won't spoil who they are (lol why the link then), since if you read the first sentence and not think I picked this up from my own book of life where I hang out with my sis for breakfast which is technically earlier in the day than this... don't ask anymore NO MORE QUESTIONS haha let's just do this




Natsukawa Shiina in front of a bunch of capsule toy machines, dressed in casual clothing with a shopping bag hanging on her left hand, her right hand holding out a keychain
It was a great start to my day off in the Natsukawa family. The light shining into my room was so bright and warm it woke me up late into the morning. Knowing that Shiina also was free today and it has been a while since we hung out, I messaged her if she wanted to join me for brunch. Not long after, we left home together for the cafe downtown.

The shops started to open in the shopping district as we made our way back after we got some groceries. Shiina then saw the capsule toy machines by the toy store and begged for me to give her some loose change to play them. Surprisingly, she got the prize she wanted immediately without breaking my wallet, but instead gave it to me. I told her I was not interested and she can keep it as a gift from me, but the smile on her face is irresistibly cute (and she was real pushy about it) so I had to accept it. It has been hanging off my carry bag ever since.




Man, do I really wish I was involved with Natsukawa Shiina (lol) or be in the Natsukawa family somehow. If it had, it HAS to be step siblings, right? *laughs* Then again I cannot imagine my mom being with a Japanese lol nor my dad, though thinking about a bit more in the shower just now make me see that the latter might be more possible. My dad's already into Vietnamese women singing traditional Chinese songs, what else is new? *laughs* Okay not going to be too persistent on this, being Japanese male sucks anyways. *laughs* And that's saying about their work life even without conscription. *silence* Okay maybe I should stop tanking on them, but seriously having Nan-chan as imouto sounds great, I don't mind being single forever! *laughs* I will get to know her other two sisters too. Who knows, maybe they are cuter than her-

P.S. Speaking of capsule toys, tomorrow's reason for not doing this... tomorrow lol is to go to one, specialized ones from Bandai are opening in Singapore, and if you heard of me saying it and saw the plural on the previous part of this sentence, I will be going with my friends again but this time to their new 2nd branch. So yeah, we shall see if there is any different and if I will NOT regret to not roll a Hololive keychain instead haha maybe I should huh, me. 

P.P.S. Is there a TrySail capsule toy I can roll? That isn't MusicRay'n Capsule because I can't pay there? *laughs*

The Welfare Package July 2023

This might as well have been on August and then the next one can be in September BUT OH WELL WHAT THE HECK IT'S HERE WE MIGHT AS WELL DO THIS!! *giggles*

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR IMOUTO didn't know you were doing a livestream yesterday night showing your adorable face on camera so uh... not true onii-chan I'm sorry? *giggles* Is she even in this package? *laughs* Uh oh haha no redemption this is the real uh oh

Due to a long story that I will not bore you about since you can read the previous Entertainment News outro lol, and I have made many mistakes including even doing all of this in the first place more than 4 years ago haha, we are back with another package at the wrong time of the year! Well, what else is new all has not been going according to plan so far even just this year. *silence* Anyways, let's not be too negative, we got fanclub stuff, we got more bromide photos as if last month isn't enough (hehe), we got pamphlets even... so let's!




Minase Inori fanclub newsletter Inori Diary vol.22

Kohara no Heya 2023 Haru Event Book
Taketatsu Ayana "Ayana Koukoku" 3rd Anniversary Event Goods
Yet Another Suruga-ya Run

Just a little unboxing won't hurt, yes? I gotta pretend a bit I totally knew it will appear today already I let it ship last week and that will take a week so math told me that haha thank you international shipping

This came in earlier today?? *gasp*
(Haha okay me you work from home this week what is with the surprise you took it during lunch)

Oh wait what's this??

Oh the receipt. *laughs*
Printed twice by the way lol why

Still just as amazed as I did this years ago, not gonna lie

Uh... who are you?
Then again it can only be...

Yeah it's Ayachi haha

This one too apparently but I have to put it against my eye to confirm lol

Oh this thing.
Haha I'll talk about that later

But first!
Familiarity is always a good thing, isn't it?

And we're back with another issue of Inori Machi Diary!! Well, if you have no idea what that is you can just look below, it's Minase Inori's fanclub regular issue of a physical newsletter where they share the recent events, have some Q&A and take in fan questions and/or art, very community oriented unlike many other fanclubs which may be good or bad but mostly the latter for me considering these are irregularly sent to me and I have to ship them to here no matter what. *silence* Thank goodness we have this train to take so we are good. *giggles*

Okay this might be the most professional or coolest cover so far depending on how you look at it

Oh uh, about not giving a damn about your latest single...
*giggles*

This image is cool though I have to say, the music video choreography too

Bro stop flexing in front of her she doesn't go to the gym lmao GOT THEM

[Above] Yeah yet she rather have sports festival?
[Below] Haha black is a safe colour on most clothing too

Ah yes the Anime event where we get to tank on Walter's voice actor lol
(She cute though, that's all it matters hehe)

Oh yeah this Instagram live that I almost missed haha

Man, not even enough time travel back will make your English better *dabs*
(Imagine Inorin with a piano though? Then it'll be "Viola to Kuro Maid" haha)

Okay, familiar package, put that aside first, me.

Ah yes this is the highlight of this package for sure

Super thin though, just like me in high school lol

Oh this is something different from the usual road I take so might as well, it's goods from Kohara Konomi's YouTube channel physical event! With physical events happening now that the fire is over also means there will be physical goods, and seeing that Koko-chan's budget isn't exactly massive with only a mere 100k subscribers (hehe congrats) I might as well see her through and NOT sub to her but (haha) buy some of the stuff like the pamphlet she took photos of for the occasion! Also this seems too little to justify the order so I found this... NFC card lighting thing? Well, I'll explain in a bit it's kinda useless for me who taps using my smartphone so *laughs* Bromides next time please, Koko-chan. *giggles*

See, much better if I padded the order, yes?
(But seriously give me something else better than a card holder lol)

I just thought this was cute hehe also for the features, I saw the video on the product page

Essentially it's a (PONY CANYON) item where if you put your transport card on it and tap, the accompanying NFC card will light up!

Yes, no batteries included!! The new revolutionary tech that- Yes I know about it in university it's just a cheap transformer receiver side if you know your engineering it's nothing special to be honest lmao *dabs*

I suppose these are made to solve the limitation of how you won't know when your card actually is close enough to get tapped (specifically on trains stations where people tap back to back), which is actually fundamentally resolved if you have a phone because the screen will change. *silence* Let's move on then real Koko-chan is better haha I feel like from the below I may have shown you all of what the book has to offer, really.

パンフレット Kohara no Heya 2023 Spring Event Book
This is so perfect I can't even
*blessed*

I can stare at this all day-
I should make this my wallpaper now haha *smiles*

Beautiful, isn't it?

My girl when I bought her a new car...

... so she can drive me places!!
Haha I don't have a license so I'll be relying on you my dear-

Up close her is great, not gonna lie

Not married, by the way.
She has an extensive ring collection to prove it lol

PONYTAIL AHHHH
(Haha *thumbs up*)

My girl waiting for me downstairs of where I live
*giggles*

I want to be the doll haha actually I want the doll lmao
(I thought about it, but no *laughs*)

Well the English a part is simple enough.
I did not support her much though so uh... I hope this and the photobook last year is enough hehe

Ah okay wrong orientation married woman haha

So this is just me venting on the fact that nothing has been done on her birthday and her fanclub's 5th anniversary but there is an upcoming event though, and since I missed these many years I'm here to sweep Taketatsu Ayana's fanclub bromides!! These are specifically from the 3rd anniversary so like 2 years ago when she wasn't pregnant LMAO and I did not take the 4th anniversary ones because (1) they aren't that good lol and (2) these are taken against a clear background which will make scanning and editing them more convenient to me as a not professional *wink* so I'm just glad these can only be done now behind the fanclub gate so I'm buying them now. Yeah also with them are record-breaking FOUR badges with the 13 designs that I can get in random because I'm that much (~40%) of a risk-taker. That's all. *giggles*

I wish I would stop asking myself to affirm my love for this woman but I just CAN'T STOP
*laughs*

Wow what is with this ominous tint lol
1 out of 1, nice.
2 out of 2, let's keep this going my beloved
Oh damn my luck ran out real quick lol as you can see it didn't go too well-
OMG I F**KING HATE MYSELF!!!
*laughs* *sob*

Okay NOW I kinda regret not doing this with Akarin's order I did last week already haha I would have bought less badges so that might have different results. *laughs* They are from the same store as from same music label too by the way also their fanclubs- PONY CANYON can you be more based and show these up earlier so I don't have to pay you more local shipping fees? Maybe I should be glad I missed buying those Kana-chan bromides-

And last but not least!

Well, don't know why I took this because I'm the only one who can read and understand what these meant because I have them lol

OMG HAHA okay maybe this is too hard to show all at once now

We are back at this real fast and I did tip this last time we did a package review, this is yet another Surugaya run!! I mean, do I need to introduce this again? I'll always be grateful this is still the only online shop so far that can let me (illegally, by the way) purchase these (not for sale) bromide photos separately despite and its limitations (physical store priority, limited selection, slightly higher per item cost) allow me to buy some stuff that appeared recently or are rare to find otherwise. As you will see below shown off in all its glory, we have Miyu-chan, we have a lot of Uesaka Sumire because I missed her somehow lol and not like we have been buying her new bromides recently too, there's Inorin's new single gift with CD purchase lmao *dabs*, we have Tomatsu Haruka from 2015 because I saw that in a Klassic Note Review I never got the other one I wanted so might as well, and we have Aizawa Saya and Kanno Mai because why not these are the only ones in stock. *laughs*

Oh, and why 10 of them instead of the usual 5? There was a limited time sale that happens on Thursdays to buy in bulk of up till 10 items so I got more and STILL paid for Ueshama haha she is expensive I tell you

Not enough Sumipe in my life? Say it ain't so lol




Well this will be all. It's not much but not like I did anything here for Natsukawa Shiina for her birthday today anyways so uh... Yeah not even featuring her favourite Mocho. *laughs* I'm so sorry then maybe you'll like MaiMai or Saya-chan someday if they put all of you guys in an Anime- We need to stop asking for the impossible. *laughs* Yeah, getting Nan-chan to do a swimsuit photobook is easier. *laughs* See you on the next one I guess, and that will GREATLY DEPEND when the next set of items drop on the forwarding service which will only let me store items for 30 days, so maybe not next month? Haha see you then.

P.S. 
Do you think
the top rankings of Ayachi's store
when nothing new is on sale
is because of me?
*laughs*
