The Eleventh Book Worth of Photos(?): Not Photobook Edition Plus! Zeroth Book Worth of Photos

Tuesday, 19 May 2020 arrow_back_ios arrow_forward_ios

Yes, we are not near the end, it seems.

This time around, of course, I did say we're done with photobooks, and that still holds true today, but we're not going to review photobooks we're going to review live tour pamphlets!!! Haha I got you, didn't I? *laughs* Anyways, I thought I'd also take you guys on a short journey back in time, to when I also, got a taste of this about 4 years ago that is not Asakura Momo, but of Komatsu Mikako. Let's talk about them, shall we?

Like, seriously I got the package right after lunch this has been sitting on my room for an afternoon you know how hard it is to focus when you work from home?? Haha just joking I don't care there's no cleavage too lmao

THE "REVIEWS"


Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus"	Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"

Origin: I'll talk about Mocho here first, I guess. Asakura Momo, as you would have known her by now which I assume you saw her photobook which I reviewed, is more than just defying the definitions of ero-kawaii haha. She's cute, she's clumsy, and has rack. You couldn't ask for a more stereotypical Anime character than her- Oh we're talking about real life? Haha I thought she wasn't a voice actress and totally gravure level standards by now. Still, it's not just that which will make any of us like her, I assure, but whatever you are going to see if still as of now, her greatest asset.

As to why I managed to be able to get this considering normally you have to be AT the location of the lives to be able to even buy them (while stocks last), her talent company MusicRay'n outsources their tour goods sale to online platform HMV Japan (sounds familiar?) which is in collaboration with Lawson, quite a large company in Japan itself famous for its chain of convenience stores. So, typically, these things will be sold off like hotcakes, meaning I will have ZERO CHANCE to get anything anyways so I just don't, but this time around, as you have seen, outside is in quite a disaster, so live performances in this case have to be cancelled or delayed. So what will happen to the goods which are already made? They opened up an online store to sell them, and here we are. I assumed I just got lucky to pounce on it first (pounce on her, more like), so I think I just got a second chance to get what I like, to be honest.

However, this is not with what I did years ago, when Komatsu Mikako got her turn for a live tour due to the release of a new album after change of music label (in which she is in now) TOY'S FACTORY, and opening her own online store (yes just for herself, Mocho is part of TrySail's store) back in 2016 she sold stuff that will make me want to burn all my money away. I think I did not show much of it here because I don't think the pamphlet is great? Let's take a trip down then, 4 years after it has stayed at my room.

But before all this, UNBOXING- I'm just kidding, we'll skip through that stuff and talk about them separately.

Ah, this cuteness...

Yes, this. Since I was intending to buy some bromide photos which they don't have, I decided to play along with their tour goods gacha, a common thing to see in such live events where you play to have a chance to win whatever is listed on the machine itself. Here's what the potential prizes were:

I wanted those badges since I don't think I would want anything practical (I mean, what am I to do with the tape?? lol), and I got it, so I'm glad I got what I wanted. Yes, and that is two badges in one, by the way. Already worth the purchase. I thought of getting another just in case my luck isn't great like the last time I bought something from Mikakoshi's shop (I... only bought one and it's literally one. One Polaroid photo. Of half her face haha wtf), but I guess I don't have to with Mocho on the line. You're the best hehe

[Also, will be doing this differently and skipping all interviews/Q&As just to show you nothing but beauty haha I'm tired from work to do the translations]

パンフレット Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus"

You see where I put that finger? Hehe

Well, so much for listing all the dates inside this book which they cannot remove lol

You don't know how much I want to start a romantic day with her so bad haha

The many faces of Mocho

Okay this is a lot more than 4 haha tell me what you like most mine is middle right

Not going to translate this but if you can read it go ahead

When they don't have enough budget to get pants for the photo shoot
(You know, just don't wear anything) (lol)

I want to be the teddy bear haha

Hmm, nice mood, I like

This is it, her and selfies are just perfect, I tell you

I'm not good at photography Mocho so I'm not doing it

That protrusion, really...

Really, that slight bump out is where my fantasies are at haha

Many questions in that interview but when I see Mocho lying on it...

Offshots!! Again, I want to be the teddy bear haha second is the camera lol

Perfection.

So all in all, not many pages compared to a photobook, and yes they charge a lot for these things. But as I read through the interview of her being hyped and all, too bad all this isn't happening to say the least (I mean, look outside), but I'm still glad I got to see some shots. Boob shots, that is. Haha again she doesn't have much of a rack have you seen Uesaka Sumire? *laughs*

PLUS!!!

Since I think I shared the calendar which is part of the set, let's show a little of the other thing that is in the set which just... brushed through my mind lol sorry Mikakoshi! Happy marriage btw this is for you haha

パンフレット Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"

Very small portrait compared to the Mocho one, I tell you
(FYI Inorin's upcoming one doesn't even have her as the cover lol why)

Yes, the HAPIKOSHI event is actually held at her birthday, on 11th November


All the budget went into the balloons haha

I want to be the balloon hehe


In case you want to read the Q&A here you go

In case you didn't realise the chair's correctly upright and she's lying down

THIS.

In case you didn't know, music producers group Q-MHz was behind her music career revival back in 2016.

I feel so aroused and I don't know why haha

That's her playing with the balloons because they have a lot more left lol

And in case you wonder why I say this book isn't great see how much white space there is in this one page

I want to be the balloon- we did that joke haha

You can read this if you want haha I'm just lazy now

Ah, good time to talk about what was sold back then. I, uh, as mentioned above for Mocho, went for the photos to the left and the calendar... and pamphlet set because I can't just get the calendar, that's why I have this. Now you know.

So yeah, balloons. I mean, I've got a boner already so they win haha okay just joking Mikakoshi is just a beauty in herself, don't you agree? But as you can see, it's not much. Which is also half the reason why I didn't talk about it. Then again, Mocho's is also similar considering there's only two outfits and the theme of the shoot is pretty much the same for both. Yeah, seeing a pattern here?

So there you have it. I think you already know this is a huge waste of money just for them to earn the heck out of idolism good as possible from us, which is great considering that this is nothing compared to what I'm going to get in the next couple of months. Upcoming packages include (1) my break of promise on buying photos off online sites since the last time I visited an auction site and (2) probably part 2 of this but this time around without any pamphlets so just photos, starring Waki Azumi and Minase Inori. Yes. idolism part 2, baby! I mean, when isn't it? Look at this tag and tell me when is "Everyday Life" not about any of these? *laughs* Cya guys next time then, and I hope this is some fuel for me to go through the rest of the week THANK GOODNESS for that Public Holiday in lieu next Monday amirite??? Haha bye
