Well, the upcoming package is not going to happen deep into next year so might as well do this now since I have the time.
In an effort to write blog posts every day from Christmas until New Year's hehe you're welcome, maybe it's time to look back... at the dumb things I have done for the Japanese women I like . *giggles* Or that I just am lazy to do the scanning (and fixing, by the way) of the final batch of bromide photos I have in hand right now. *laughs* Either way, we have plenty to talk about here, so let's get to it!

Oh boy this year's going to be interesting lol- I DID NOT BREAK MY RECORD OF BROMIDE PHOTOS COUNT LAST YEAR?? *laughs*
Did I count CD free gifts as- Nope. *laughs*
MOST WORTH PURCHASE BASED ON ITEM VALUE
Oh, probably Ede-chan's book produced by Shinagawa-sensei because I just want her in a book, I got it again and I thanked the photographer online just because they brought it to BOOTH so I can finally get a copy of this greatness. *dabs* Haha I don't think it is most monetary worth, if we're talking about practicality then Suruga-ya runs are the best worth for money since I don't have to pay for shipping (though I have to pay for service charge *ugh*) also they are used, but despite the huge amounts I spent on bromide photos, RumiRumi's ones this year must be the most worth, costing at 180 yen per. I know, it's a lot, but it's somehow cheaper than Ibuki-chan, and we know we can't measure it like that. *laughs*
Yes, I did intentionally leave out my signed copy of Moeshi's photobook because she is in a different level, if you haven't read the blog post where I talked about what was worth its own award at this point. We don't talk about life achievements here. *dabs*
LEAST WORTH PURCHASE BASED ON ITEM VALUE
I think Kana-chan's ones with Sanrio characters? I know right, disappointing me every year, but it can also be Koko-chan because apart from the one keychain that I am still hanging it on the bag which is great to be frank better than Ten-chan's one which I intend to replace but the latter was too big and relatable if I'm surrounded by Chinese so nah (haha), but yeah those Koko-chan bromides are as bad as her photobook if not worse. *cringe* No really, Koko-chan, we need more normal stuff. *giggles* And I guess runner-up can be Inorin's for her half-album tour considering she went to f**king Paris and all she made was what, that pamphlet which you know I can't buy I set a hard limit on myself already lol, and only SIX bromide photos. BRUH. Should've released 50. *laughs* (May one of them also be the one that she is eating and looks like Viola-chan I can't even?) (Hehe, you know which one)
BOLDEST ATTEMPT
Well, this one is easy, this one just dropped by last weekend. *giggles*
No longer am I stuck at online purchases that are hard to get, nor am I talking about adult stuff since DMM knew about my dirty fetishes and decided to cut me off already. *laughs* Nor is it the sheer amount of items in one order that I buy lol SUCK IT IBUKI AND RUMIRUMI, for these are Isobe Karin Neppuri Bromide Photos!! Hey, if you thought this is just another bromide run, you would be wrong. For I ran to Japan and print all these myself- Okay joke's over, dude. *laughs*Β
Around a month ago my friends decided to take a trip to Japan haha not with me just because stop digging my sad loner life, but also because they are going to play the heck out of Pokemon Go there, and I don't want to be part of that. *laughs* But interestingly, ma bro did decide to help me print these at a convenience store which I assume would be so inconvenient for them especially if they have no idea how these work thank goodness for English instructions on the machines though, so I could not thank them enough. *giggles* These are from Karin-chan's recent appearance in a late night television variety show airing at TBS called "G Healthcare", in which they invited different female celebs from all works of life every weekday to share what they do to keep healthy, and you guessed it, a voice actress was to take the Monday night slot, and it was her. I don't watch the show since I don't own Japan TV cable nor is it available in my hometown, but suffice to say that these off-shot photos were more important and I'm just glad I even got any number of them. 15 to be exact, over 8 weeks of releases. They are relatively cheap too at 1500 yen total, I assuming with the lack of shipping and labour costs just hosting it to be print-to-order online as with Karin-chan's photos from last year, if you would recall. I like myself more environmental-friendly methods to get what I like, and this was a great opportunity to do it. Well, I didn't do it personally though. *giggles*
Oh and by the way, it dropped by last weekend because I met them then, and they passed it on to me. *silence* Can we just not talk about my social relationships and move on, please? I did pay them. *cringe*
(Side note: This was supposed to be dedicated to digital purchases ie. Nan-chan's photobook which was promptly released on digital so *shrugs* haha I'm sorry imoutoΒ you sitting on a bathtub is *fap* though haha what)
NEAR MISSES
Wow, did I even have such things? Not that I recall for this year, to be frank. I have learned from my lessons last year to grab on to every opportunity I have, and thanks to those painful lessons (Saya-chan~!!!) (haha) I think this might be one of those years without regrets! Well, let's just say the upcoming ones next year will be, so maybe I'll update by then if I didn't manage to get them, yes? *giggles*
Actually, I did do a reverse near miss by putting down my money too early on this year's Melonbooks run and just because I want to ensure I get Rossuri-sensei and more importantly Nakamura-sensei which we totally whiffed it last year, which ended up making me purchase 2 other books on the early which their slot could be better used to give later announced ones but I think this is rather irrelevant Haruhiruri-sensei and riri-sensei are growing on me already with their social media posts I can't even. *laughs*
WORTHY MENTIONS
Okay I guess I should talk about the others I get usually hyped about that no one cares. *giggles*
Yes, I be talking about my one and only idol I go out most of Kanno Mai she is the best hehe, for we did her twice (lol) and I mean by buying those photos with that crazy streak of only ONE duplicate despite buying 12 of those (and yes I did give the one extra to ma bro) and THEN buying the pamphlet which they released on event but later released it online for pre-order, still did not win Ten-chan's Seigura magazine because damn, if you had that much power to make a magazine of your own and ONLY your own from a serialization that has lasted 30 years? Maybe you just don't have enough cred. *laughs*
But yeah, not like I gave Ten-chan more money to watch her live so guess who won. *dabs*

Well well, these all are winners I feel like I am already closing in buying the stuff I like, and not like these even matter considering I give awards to songs every end of the year, so stay tuned for that coming in in a couple of days. *laughs* And don't ask if I have burnt all my Ibuki-chan bromide photos; I still am planning to do a new season of fanfics with this married woman in it. *cringe* Haha this will be all then, I really thought I did make this more concise but I didn't, but it's also a good time to go fix my mistakes as I spelt Sumipe's fanclub newsletter wrongly all 3 times so you know, thank goodness the upcoming one will be the last I'm not going to continue hers anyways now that ma bro got his girl IRL. *cringe* I'm stopping here any more and this female voice actor nerd will be heartbroken haha see you for tomorrow's Anime season conclusion I'm going to watch Sumipe live in her self-produced cafe *dabs*
P.S. Since I didn't mention much in the post since this really is about buying stuff not just to watch them live, but I still think live event tickets aren't quite enough this year for me despite me talking about moving ahead I should pay for more digital stuff which yeah, should include more live events, dude.
What happened to watching Inorin live? Oh, ChanRina and Oonishi Saori Instagram lives. *laughs*Β
