Hey I was just playing that transport simulation game, enjoying my work leave and yesterday was a public holiday, the pandemic situation in my country is getting worse so I may be able to work from home, and this package dropped by. I literally could NOT be any happier haha I gotta take a nap first though so I didn't immediately get to it lmao *dabs*
Still this big of a box I can't even (That one on the left is my new poster drawer hehe) |
"Fragile" yeah it's just a bunch of paper wrapped in plastic lmao |
This is going to be a shorter write-up though in case you didn't notice, but you know, I still gotta explain why I did this again huh. *laughs* I mean, as long as I don't have an actual girlfriend my money has nobody to answer to haha hey Akarin *giggles*
THE ORIGIN
As hinted right above, yes it was because of Kitou Akari, regrettably, after I lost track of what I hesitated on which now I really want to cry on it now because we just talked about Akarin a couple of days ago. Here's a hint: It was someone in a magazine due to her 10th anniversary as a female voice actress. Okay, sounds like some people from the past couple of years, but this time around, it was supposed to be because of Kayano Ai, and yes, she does have bromides sold on my new favourite place for purchasing these called Suruga-ya, and after hesitating for like 2 weeks I see it disappear like a puff of smoke. (This is how I end up alone for the rest of my life huh) Haha nonetheless, a month or so passed by of me browsing through the catalogue EVERY DAY (Trust me, even in weekends) until I found someone else that could be a trigger for me to spend... just a huge amount of money once again, and this is what you know of today.
(Oh yeah, unboxing is done in tandem such that you won't just see a wall of text and leave)
Haha I like how the one doesn't want to be friends with the other 59 what (I just checked none of them are 374yen even with tax how) |
Again, it only took this much space and it doesn't come with bubble wraps |
No really, this much only |
Oh hey Mina-chan in her sexiest photobook years ago haha |
THE COMPARISON?
Blah blah blah here's the comparison chart with respect to last time:
[Re-built with HTML Div Table Generator because Blogger can't do for shit-]
PUSS 2020 | The Cheaper Option | The Cheapest Option | |
---|---|---|---|
No. of items | 63 | 27 | 60 |
Item Average | ~370yen | ~233yen | ~335yen |
Subtotal | 23348yen | 6280yen | 20080yen |
Service Fee(s) | 21880yen | 500yen | 500yen |
Int'l Shipping | 0yen (Voucher) | 1050yen | 1155yen (-1000yen) |
Grand Total | 45228yen | 7830yen | 20735yen |
Order Item Charges (%) | 52% | 80% | 97% |
Yes, I paid for like 100yen in shipping only because I spent the minimum amount to get the full off discount... if you don't count their service fee which is not even close to what I spent my money on, so I tell you, for buying this much, it's worth a deal but not that I would recommend anyone else to do so because I'm just a freak who likes photos of Japanese women with beautiful voices and I don't live in Japan lol (also this is technically illegal every single one wrote "not for sale" haha)
Here's the full order in case you want to tax audit me lol (Uh oh gahmen no~) (Haha) |
THE PACKAGE
So, this is basically the same as if you would recall, "PUSS 2020" as I lovingly named it back then because I still can't get any today haha (yes I would love some Akarin puss-) (not that desperate for Kayanon's though lol) and so, I ordered, no joke, exactly 60 bromides similar to last year hitting the surprisingly low quota of 20000yen which didn't even hit 21k with shipping, which also means this is WAY lesser than the *checks Excel file* 45228yen which I bought and accumulated from using auction sites through buying service Buyee, if you would recall. Again, that's only 3% on not item charges, people. Not even joking at this point I'm smiling from end to end hehe LET'S SEE THE CONTENTS!!
Sorry for the terrible shots and yes in their original packaging with tags maybe covering their faces |
So in summary because it's funny every time I do it, (here we go, first name is correct or it'll be in square brackets) I got 5 from Asakura Momo/Momo Asakura which includes that one big one which I didn't notice it was actually an A5-sized bromide (which is not a normal bromide size FYI their "L size" is closest to B6 which is not A6 ugh) which is also shown twice in the photos above just because, 3 from Natsukawa Shiina/Shiina Natsukawa/夏川椎菜, 2 from Higashiyama Nao/Nao Toyama [Touyama Nao] because her music releases are all signed bromides which don't make of good photos in frames so I chose not those (hehe), 5 from Rika Tachibana/立花理香 [Tachibana Rika] because I can never get enough of her expensive photos lol market value through the roof, 10 from (Get it? Because her name) Amamiya Ten/Ama Amamiya (lmao)/Amemiya Tian/雨宮天 [Amamiya Sora] because I don't know why I want so much of her but I know I'm done for now with this run maybe, 1 from 富田美憂 [Tomita Miyu] because I can't see her in magazines and she's kinda cute my new girl now lol, 6 from Okubo Tommi/Tomomi Okubo/大久保瑠美 [Ookubo Rumi] because is her 10th anniversary already I want a photobook not a calendar please haha, 3 from 佐藤聡美 [Satou Satomi] but not those which are old until it turned yellow lmao, 1 from Rie Takahashi [Takahashi Rie] because I'm completing the "KanoKari" collection which I did miss Ten-chan's one along with Kayanon for this order so *cries again*, 4 from Aoi Yuki/Aoki Yuki/悠木碧 [Yuuki Aoi] as she was used to pad the order after some others fell through at the last minute, 2 from 木戸衣吹 [Kido Ibuki] because I think I missed a few from last year lol, 6 from Haruka Tomatsu/戸松遥 [Tomatsu Haruka] because I miss not married with one kid Tomacchan haha, 5 from Sumiko Sumiko(lmao)/Yukiko Kotobuki/Minako Kotobuki [Kotobuki Minako] because Mina-chan is still lovely if you haven't seen her YouTube channel before please do, 1 from TrySail because why not and black haired Nan-chan is so cute I can't even, 2 from 沼倉愛美/Ai Numakura [Numakura Manami] she was used to pad the order too like Aoi-chan, and 1 each from Inori Minase [Minase Inori], 鬼頭明里 [Kitou Akari] and 6086198 (lol) [Toyota Moe] which I really shouldn't considering how much I have bought from them already. I know; My most important priority is to ensure this does NOT conflict with my current stock haha I hope it doesn't I checked many times already if I missed even one I will cry I can't seem this no one wants this crap not even my bro haha (ugh)
I've mentioned before how I did get some which cannot be found and thus are in Japanese in this international store, it is because I now have an auto filter and sort of web crawler which can check the Japanese Suruga-ya website (the actual one) into the latest ones posted because I believe they always update there first as evidenced by this PERFECT NO MISSED ORDERS RUN lol they may have improved their stock update to the site already. Not so much for their orders though compared to last time this is order #75657 compared to like, #61122 just December they got twice the amount of orders compared to from September last year
And... I'm done. I may really have to stop doing this from now because I can't come up with a new title after this one lol. Also, a downside to doing all of this is that once I'm done with this I have to scan (AND EDIT) every single one of them tomorrow haha hey I'm just glad I had a long weekend to do these lol cya guys for Entertainment News on Sunday
P.S. I always get surprised by this so I guess I should talk about it: I imagine (If you can remember how my calendar is placed on my desk, above my monitor above a wedge of cardboard along the stand) that every time Minase Inori "falls" for me is when the calendar I bought for the year drops down and lands on me or in front of me with her face staring at me HAHAHA okay I'm done (Maybe I should find somewhere else to put her...)
P.P.S. Though a lot of them didn't have much of its history visible but we can find out more with BACKSIDE VIEW!! Okay Ten-chan has no butt so I don't know why I'm doing this lol
I got scammed on this just a little though I got this for 580yen |
Shout out to this dude because the only way I can find new friends is through these lmao ("I see you are also a man of culture" lol) |
This is the only visible damage I can see so far which is just a bend I hope it doesn't affect the actual image when I scan it |
(Just go buy Sumipe trading cards man at least you can play rock paper scissors with them lol)
