I wanted to do this yesterday but there isn't much to celebrate Kitou Akari's birthday here and I haven't gotten over devil girl MaiMai in the monthly (paid) livestream so... I hope you will understand. *laughs*

Anyways welcome back!! This is going to be a long weekend thanks to a public holiday *yay* and to kick start us off, we got another package to review! Yes, this is not an illusion, we did this last week but that was to meet the consolidation deadline in that forwarding service, so this one... I can take my time. BUT WHY TAKE MY TIME when I can just do this now?!! *dabs*

So yeah, without further ado, let's set in stone what many MORE photos I have procured over the past few months! And then I will scan ALL of them-

Well before we start let's do a little unboxing as in the box is little- WOAH WOAH!!! *laughs*

To start us off with this huge package of nothing but mostly photos, these are Ogura Yui's live tour bromide photo sets!! Well, we bought into her whole package last year where we kind of started and did the pamphlet review already, so we are skipping that this year even though with her concept EP coming out next month, and releasing new music videos every month with pop songs to dance to it's that good, these four sets of three photos are here to please us with plenty of outfits where black gothic nurse and scientist kind of stood out this time around but also why isn't she cosplaying this for Anime "RikeKoi" but instead as a manga artist? *laugh* Okay no one will get the Anime jokes here, so let's just appreciate all the cuteness Yui-chan has to offer, yes?

Okay this one is probably the most interesting of the bunch just because it has been a while since we got prints on order, this is Takao Kanon's My Girl vol.43 special off-shot bromide photos!! YES haha and I know what you want to say where is Marinka-chan's since she is the first cover girl and technically got twice as much pages on the magazine (which I reviewed last month) as NonNon here but uh, the former got a digital photobook dominating ranks on e-book stores, so I guess she wins. *giggles* But yeah I'm just here to support NonNon with these 10 photos and boy I really did not get enough of her as I start to gather more of her photos (physical and digital) also in this case, to see her in more outfits which weren't featured in the magazine itself. *silence* I guess that's how they are capitalizing me, huh. I WILL TAKE IT!! *dabs*

Alright finally I get to rant at this because if I don't there won't be much time left tbh, this is Ishihara Kaori's live tour bromide photo sets!! The problem isn't with Kyari-san because I like myself some jealous b*tch- The (Haha refer to fanfics) problem also isn't with her releasing this and by the time I ordered and NOW they released the goods for sale on her recent Taipei event which *chef's kiss* China dress on Japanese is just the best hehe, but uh, the problem was with the store. Earlier this month, PONY CANYON artists' official store in Japan "Canime" dropped us a warning: You will need to register a Japanese phone number and verify via SMS in order to purchase stuff from the store by the next financial year ie. 1st April, 2026. As if this isn't a good joke, this will TOTALLY IMPEDE me into buying fanclub goods in which as of writing it's Kitou Akari and Taketatsu Ayana and even though the former is more relevant, of the many things I can ACTUALLY do having a fanclub account other than going to events, it used to mean I can buy those goods for the years that I have subscribed to them.

Not anymore, I guess. *sob*

NO F**K YOU I DO NOT MEAN THE PONY CANYON INTERNATIONAL STORE THOSE THINGS AREN'T UPDATED AND I CANNOT CONSOLIDATE THIS THEY DON'T SHIP WITHIN JAPAN-

So yeah, I'll enjoy the times while I can, and probably start counting down to the times I can buy from this store, even if it's just a couple bromides. *shrugs*

Time for some fanclub newsletters which cost no money and I don't have to use a Japanese phone number *wink* *wink* haha, but yes, we finally have the new Minase Inori fanclub newsletter to conclude the newsletter book I bought the last time we did something for Inorin. *giggles* This is still such a joy to look at from time to time, from fan queries to recent events even though I don't go to them but that's okay I can read these to catch up with the lore haha, and this is honestly to complete the collection. *dabs* Also, to mark my... how many years of subbing to her fanclub? 3? I mean, this is a complicated question, please consult my fanclub initiation posts for more information. *laughs* Anyways, so I get a badge to making it this far, which really explains how much dedication I have for this woman after all these years.

Yeah, the OTHER fanclub newsletter haha okay me if you really don't fancy looking at Horie Yui's fanclub newsletter already then maybe we can stop by the end of this year so we don't continue whatever simping I have done to this 40-year-old these past couple of years. *silence* I don't know Hocchan, you aren't offering much to be frank, and that's essentially the point of such fanclubs, right? I don't know, even talking about her feels so empty to me now. *sob* Okay okay let's wrap this up we might not continue the fanclub subscription no more she isn't giving me enough reasons to do this tbh

Last but not least, and if this is not enough of a simping competition to prove that Horie Yui isn't much relevant today anymore lmao, this is Minase Inori live tour goods for the year!! Because this was around the time where I made my choice to get Yukimura Eri for next year's calendar in case you forgot read back last week's post lol, I had to find something to hang on my wall which used to hang my yearly wall calendar. apart from the standard twin pack of bromides. I didn't have any ideas, but thinking back of hanging Inorin on my room wall all year, I could not un-think of that possibility. Thank goodness I had THREE choices for the posters and even though they are FAR CRY from whatever they did overseas to take so many photos for the 2nd half album and best album, I really wonder why these are the best we got to show. *sigh* I know right, all the good stuff's in the limited edition best album booklet- But I'll still enjoy another year of Inorin staring back at me, that part will still be great no matter how you look at it. *dabs*

You're welcome, Inorin, you know I can't resist your adorable face. *giggles*

Yeah, luck isn't on my side this year so I better not buy more random stuff next time. Speaking of next time!!! *giggles* There will be randomness but I think it has long been decided so that's not terrible which also means my luck only dropped into the well a couple of months ago (lol), but also, I will be struggling to give... I don't know, maybe actually some Hasegawa Kasumi that isn't a T-shirt. *laughs* Oh also more print photos but we will not spoil that too much I haven't even ordered the damn thing yet lmao, but we can talk about tomorrow. *giggles* The fanfic, yes, and you know who we are featuring considering literally NO ONE celebrates their birthday in October... because no one is making kids in December? *laughs* Damn, what happened to Christmas lol. But yeah, that for tomorrow, then Anime for the next couple of days. Will I give a damn and watch Marie on Sundays again? You will have to find out and see. Now leave me alone so I can go cry my heart out that I have to wait 3 months to hang a Inorin poster. *dabs*
