Three Books Worth of Photos: That "F**k, Marry, Kill" Question

Saturday, 02 March 2019
"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]


Natsukawa Shiina 1st Photobook
"Nukegara"
[Buy on Amazon Japan]
Amamiya Sora Photobook
"10 looks"
[Buy on Amazon Japan]
Asakura Momo 1st Photobook
"pleasant"
[Buy on Amazon Japan]

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.

[5th look] Oh kamisama...
*licks book*

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*

[10th look] Are we in a family restaurant? lol I'll order some buns haha
(Yeah, you could also call them diners too actually) (Yes not talking about her ches-)

"Nyaa~"
*drops dead*

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

Sexy Mocho #2
Totally reminds me of the vocalist from vivid undress.
Didn't know you had this potential, Mocho
 (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**KMARRYKILL
Because of THAT RACK lolSame age, but she'd make a tough wife to keep up with if you know her character...
