No, not wedding vows. I'm still single, remember? Yes, even fictional me. *laughs*
If this is not the latest version of "all according to plan" I can't make this orchestration any better. *giggles* Okay maybe I missed the newsletter which just dropped by the forwarding service this morning but heck, that was already calculated. But otherwise, you would be pleased to hear that the monthly package has dropped by! And I could not be more hyped to talk about them, mainly because as annoying as this is, I just updated my... simping(?) to some fanclubs, renewing the "vows" I did for each year on my birthday month and maaaaybe it was a bad idea to do it on the final day of Febriary February and let them charge me again once the month ticks over and/or make the subscription end a month earlier for the yearly plans.
*silence*
Well lesson learnt note to self renew the start of each month lol so let's get THOSE out of the way because we have a CD and PHOTOBOOK to talk about, dude!! This post doesn't even matter now, to be honest. *laughs*
But first, let's sort this out which is just such a mess right now because I got it all jumbled up I thought they missed out some items so this will be short- !@#%^*&UNBOXING!! Haha it never gets old
All paid for, government, you can't tax me how haha ah- *sob* |
Not quite enough packaging, but I think the guys at the forwarding service figured none of these are exactly fragile lol |
We will talk about you later, miwa-san. |
Ah yes, this. Just the one set of acrylic stands lmao how did I even get into this |
Yeah, how DID I even get into this, me? Yes, this is the somewhat regular update of the character line-up (and dress-up) of Dead or Alive: Venus Vacation new character acrylic stands!! As I patiently wait for the new update which isn't as revealing as you might think (swimsuits, by the way) (haha) (Edit: Got 2 of them SSR *dabs*), I have pledged to collect these almost 2 years ago since they told me to buy all of them lol they didn't it was all me, this time around they used the same strategy of selling these during the announcement livestream, giving discounts if you buy within 24 hours, and I took the bait. Every single time since back then. *laughs* This set features two "true colour" outfit designs from not alien girl Luna and princess loverย Ede-chanย Fiona (lol), and our new 29th character in about half a year named Shizuku, which is like, just somehow cosplay with the wolf ears but not as she's human but more importantlyย voiced by now newcomer award-winning voice actress (hehe) Yomiya Hina, which you might remember her from... well for me Anime "KiseKoi" as stacked younger sister I guess. *giggles* That's it, actually, as of writing still no new characters and Shizuku isn't out of the paywall yet so welp. *laughs* Hey, at least they can't sell more of these for now, eh?
Just checking in on the girls, in case you wondered. Still the same ranks though so far, and... where's the newest girl Yukino?? |
Oh over here on the shelf haha unrelated Marin-chan over there (And yes, those ladies we don't really care about-) |
Ta-da!! (Haha) |
Just her standing over there, all alone. |
*shame* I like. (Haha) |
Okay next up, I guess we just go down the line!! (That big book will have to wait, relax haha) |
If you can't read the Japanese title of the fanclub, maybe the next line of text will give you an idea. *wink* |
So yeah, let's talk about who I signed up for this year! I guess we won't talk about the scam that is Tomita Miyu's fanclub because everything from her is the most expensive so far even the PAID calendar I have to fork out even though they nicely avoided charging me yearly as of this month, but STILL had the balls to charge me more per month!?!? *pukes*
Alright this isn't about Miyu-chan I might just hide the above rant actually (lol), this is Horie Yui official fanclub subscription for the year!! Yes, that 40-year-old has a fanclub lmao, it has been running for quite a while, and I've always wondered what's in there. So yeah, I took the plunge and found out that... surprises surprises, it runs similar to Minase Inori's fanclub (which newsletter we will talk about soon...) just that there are a couple of differences in there, of course. Apart from charging me once again to buy the fanclub bromide photos which I included in this order because damn or else I will be talking about only freebies here in this whole post (and boy the local shipping is more than the item price but what else is new hehe they got me good at the worst time possible), we also get a membership card (ooo it's black... coloured haha *phew* almost got cancelled) (this is the Darkness card they have been talking about?) (lol that's an Anime "C" reference from 2011) and access to her private (oooh) Instagram account? Yeah, sure is interesting but heck, all this only happens once (fingers crossed) and it doesn't update regularly anyways so we shall see if I can like it for a year. *giggles*
Now that's a cool black card there, fits their monochrome cat theme- What is with all the paper though?? |
So not only do you get updates (as with all fanclubs) via email of (less important) event reminders and (more important) content updates... |
... you also have access to the fanclub's Instagram account! Okay THIS maybe they should put in writing, I was confused when I had to fill in my Instagram account in my profile |
Eh, spoiler alert, there is not much in that account you can't see it anyways it's private, but heck I wanted more of her so sign up and request for her to be your friend if you want that too. *wink*
WHERE ARE THE BROMIDE PHOTOS I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THOUGH?? lol
Well it isn't here... sorry for the early unboxing but I had to confirm if they slipped it in |
Or maybe it's here with the CD?? |
Oh yeah, found it!! I assumed this was the only place I haven't searched after putting it aside from the start *laughs* |
Since these aren't much of a secret, and not like anyone is that into her anyways (lol), here they are. Personal favourite is all of them as long as she's 17. *dabs* |
Aw LAME I have to fill in my name on the membership card by myself?? BRUH. (Haha) |
Next up we have...!! |
So yeah, this one I initially did not think I would want to do it but I couldn't come up with a better birthday present for ma bro in March and I still can't believe they left the birthday wallpaper in there (likely for me since mine is only a month earlier), this is Uesaka Sumire fanclub subscription for the year!! And that's why I hesitated to sign up for these because they are all yearly ones and I had to cancel some of the current ones to do this (sorry Kana-chan!! *tehe*), but yeah, I'll do this for ma bro, I did give him access with a password so enticing you can jerk off to it lmao (you still won't know what it is enough, stop cracking it lol), and this is not really for me to adore at more of her digital content including exclusive photos and videos since herย social media accounts are evidence you don't have to, but apart from the running visitor counter which can win you something (just a mention lol) semi-regularly if I'm not wrong haha yeah, and more behind-the-scenes photos here and there... sure why not I'll prepare for the next time I have to buy her fanclub bromide photos. *giggles* ALL HAIL UESAKA SUMIRE lol is this how Sumipe Federation works? Haha similar to Russia-
I like how they have to mention this is a mail lol but yeah, informing us there are TWO items delivered in this first ever mail from the fanclub |
They are the membership card on the left (why black... coloured-), and a dog tag on the right? Hey, if you need a loyal fan I'll get my bro in *laughs* |
Last but not least because I'm not done for the day yet lol, we have... |
And to wrap this up (hey don't blame me if the fanclub doesn't have any physical items for me to talk about I'm okay with paperless subscriptions as they should be), we have another issue of Minase Inori fanclub newsletter! Hocchan and Sumipe will have these too so by then we shall see which one is better in content *wink*, but hey let's say Inorin is more active as a voice actress and singer at this point so it's no wonder they are doing this somewhat regularly compared to the former ones. *silence* This issue covers her birthday event live recording event of her weekly radio show last December, the new year stuff and the recent fanclub event (which did NOT land on my birthday thank goodness haha) so there's quite a lot to show, but I'll just talk about a few of them as usual. You don't get all the dibs if you don't sub, that's the law. *dabs*
I mean, Town Mayor Inori more like Managing Director Inori amirite- |
Wow her handwriting is... took me a while to read all of this lol this is talking about the live recording of her radio show (Oh and you just don't get to see the rest *dabs*) |
And in case you wonder how that works, everything for the radio show is brought on to stage, including sound effects and sponsor audio lol they showed the KING RECORDS logo |
She likes salt-only popcorn and Oolong Tea when watching movies, and for things she forget she was finding she now uses her smartphone to take notes (If I get you popcorn and tea, Inorin, would you go to the movies with me? *dabs*) |
And I now (do not) regret NOT purchasing the yearly fanclub calendar even after I've seen this lol *chef's kiss* |
"Food that is great to sleep on if supersized" lol alright: Number 1 is cotton candy, followed by pudding (Okay so she likes it white and sticky-) |
Oh, this is just for me to put as the thumbnail, don't mind me haha |
And next next up... |
Okay so for the real next up...!! I can't believe I would be sacrificing my nap time for this haha yeah in case you didn't know why this is all according to keikaku (lol) I planned this package to appear on the work leave I took for the rest of the week, just because Wednesday was a public holiday. *dabs* Oh boy did I enjoy the songs I'm listening yesterday where they release new songs we will talk about it on Sunday again, because goddamn did I not plan to talk about how I am literally still suffering physically as what I did last month once again just because someone in the office could not stop coughing. You can guess what happened. *cringe* Okay okay let's talk about music, yes? I won't be singing to miwa's songs though, my throat is kind of giving way and I have a runny nose so... *sob* See you then. *sob*
