I mean, it can be just "lover in another world" but I don't want to borrow the isekai naming because I still hate that genre of Anime with all of my heart so *laughs* okay okay let me explain then why this title is as such.

Just a head's up, I don't mean Kyari-san here is last in ranks but I think by the time I'm done with her *dabs* I might have to lol, I'm also not expecting this to be any lower in standards than Koko-chan's photobook which had zero swimsuits *sob* haha and this has so yeah, let's take "last" as in lasting because I still like her despite my little fond memories of her even after all these years.

The power of the English language, baby! Also, she did power me to buy this so she wins. *giggles*

THE REVIEW

THE ORIGIN

Hmm... I suppose I can trace her back to when I first saw her in Anime "Nagi no Asukara" "Kokoro Connect" but that is definitely not how it leads to here because to be frank, she didn't look that great even when she started more than a decade ago *silence* alright we aren't here to dunk on her, so let's talk about where I actually started, around 2021 thanks to Anime "HigeHiro" I knew of her through hopeless romantic colleague Mishima-san hehe I feel you girl, her voice-acting and even just her rather flat(?) voice caught my ears' attention it's actually rather unique the more you hear about it. Well, Anime helped me out on this in the next couple of years too with most recently being in "KanaTen" earlier this year. I also praised on her singing of Anime theme songs, and even reviewed one of her singles last year, so this love somehow grew over time even as I listen to her latest album back in April. Outside of Anime though... how should I put this, she isn't the most attractive of them voice actresses even if I noticed her calendar the year before and one recently announced for next year (nice), because she has that very average next girl image even watching her Instagram lives this year (she has a radio show on Mondays too but eh), it's hard to describe what I think about her even if I saw this photobook announcement a few months ago because I have always put her in 2nd place compared to anyone else, and there isn't that this time around. This is even more true considering this book was released on her birthday early August but we are doing this a month later, and that she is the same year as I am, putting her the closest in age with respect to me.

Yeah, have I convinced you that she is great? *laughs* I mean, if I didn't make my point, I hope this photobook will. *giggles*

Because the process of getting this is rather straightforward and painless even after waiting this a month after release date (which really says a lot about her popularity *cringe* haha but also on its content I think because see Ogura Yui's photobook) but Gamers came up tops once again providing more FREE (by the way) bromide photos than I can take because they knew I love this sh*t (hehe), is still more compelling for the price compared to others which... well there are so many options spanning from Amazon giving free signed polaroid photo after pre-ordering to there's an NFT edition as you saw above haha yeah, and did you even notice the body pillow too in case you want to hug her all day?? *laughs* I'm not that simp. *laughs* What I could do with Gamers though, was a serial code was provided to win a signed panel but registration for that would require a Japanese phone verification which *shrugs* so sorry I guess I don't want to reveal myself as an illegal-

What did I miss? Well, did I really miss anything? *laughs* We shall see as I go on, I feel like I talked too much even though I hardly know her but we will in a bit. *giggles* UNBOXING TIME!!! Haha

Oh, I should talk about what this is. With respect to the title it is read as such but defined as "first summer", this is a travel photobook, in case you haven't noticed, where Kyari-san decided on going to Vietnam! It's a Southeast Asia country near to my hometown so *wink* I have no idea about it apart from Vietnamese wives which might be my only option after I'm still single for another decade and my dad got used to watching them streaming on YouTube and wants me to get one to continue the family line lmao *ugh* but suffice it to say this book isn't that at all, the culture talk is rather little even though there might be some references to Chinese culture just because I know of them? But damn, this shows off a lot of stuff into the semi-private (and even private) life of Ishihara Kaori, even if it means showing off her sexy, slender body. *silence*

Show me your best, Kyari-san, I am ready and I promise to only show off your best to the plebs. *giggles*

OKAY DEVICE IS TOO HOT WE GOTTA TAKE A BREAK (haha)

Okay, I am glad I used this title now. *giggles* Because for starters, it is A LOT. Like, probably as much as Moeshi's photobook a lot, without any bullsh*t long text or interviews or whatsoever. Which also means they might have taken too much on this because some of the outfits are only spanning 2 pages... but even then, I could not afford to skip them, dude!! Yeah, this is the other thing: This photobook is just way better than I thought. Not much of Vietnam and plenty of sexy shots to please, I don't think I have a favourite. *giggles* Heck, this technically had bikini too so Ogura Yui you already lost to your fellow voice actress friend. *laughs* But then, she is very (as in very) slender for this which just means I'm seeing more bare feet and legs and/or full body shots which are not... that.. impressive haha the lack of meat are my only qualms lmao, but otherwise, damn Kyari-san, if she hasn't convinced you to like her, I think it did to me. *blessed*

I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you, Kyari-san, I did enjoy this hopefully as much as you did! I have legit changed from having regrets trying to give your photobook a look (lol see intro) to like, I think I love you now. *laughs* Yeah, just like you in Anime and music, you have given me more confidence than ever to like you even if you have turned 30 just like me, and this is as great as it gets. Please, some of the photobooks I reviewed aren't even this good. I'll be looking back this again, for sure. Impressions do last after all, don't they? *wink*

You think Ten-chan will look half this good if she went to Vietnam too? *laughs*

Okay, time to spend the rest of the day fixing the blog again- Not this post though, we are done for now. *giggles* Nah, I'm lying I can't take this off my mind dude, I'm actually glad she didn't take off more of her clothes. *laughs* Because what else is there to see- I mean, because I think I've seen enough to fall in love with them, and I think that's good enough. As I said, many don't even get close to this, so we will call her the black horse of... everything, actually, she just flipped my impression of her upside down with this book, dude. *giggles* Okay okay, don't make me confess to her I can't do that I can't bring myself to do that- Why am I embarrassed by this book haha

P.S. My dad just walked into my room seeing the book and like what is this lol uh oh he saw the Vietnam stuff haha please dad I only go for Japanese women *dabs*
