Well... I might as well do it today, the month is going to be over soon.

And WELCOME BACK (haha) to the new monthly pack and even though ma bros are in Japan which means they can buy me anything (and I mean anything lol) I rather ship them to me myself which you find out the lengths I would go to do that... in the next package lmao because that was such a mess to deal with, it makes this package so much better in comparison. *giggles*

So let's! We have a photobook to talk about- A PHOTOBOOK?!! *laughs*




Toyota Moe "Moeshi Tours" Raffle Gacha
Takahashi Rie Fanclub Subscription Bonus
Uesaka Sumire no Hokkori no Hon!! Print Bromides
Hasegawa Kasumi 2025 Photobook & Goods

But first... An unboxing!!

No, I did not ship the unboxing from Japan, and you will find out why in a bit. *laughs*

Introducing... the Welfare Package Air™.
*laughs*
(Ironically no air inside-)

Wait, what's the book again?
*laughs*
(Oh, I remember now hehe)

Well, the QR codes are an indicator of what we'll be dealing with first.

If not, I hope this does.
*giggles*

Yeah, this might be obvious as who we are talking about.
*giggles*

So first but not least this is also months in the waiting, this is the Raffle gacha goods from Toyota Moe's Bus Tour livestream series!! Yes, you may have heard of the name before, and I don't mean Moeshi. *giggles* Yeah, Raffle, we have been on their site several times. For marupi, marupi, and marupi- Wait, what? *laughs* Nonetheless, this is also to uh, commemorate the end of this series haha I guess the tour is over she did go to all 47 prefectures which I hope includes Okinawa lmao, and part of having a real bus tour was also this gacha to go along with it so that we can win, what, a signed acrylic stand?? No no tapestry, this isn't Miyu-chan's gacha after all. *dabs* ANYWAYS, I'm here for the stuff I have always liked and never in the face of trading cards will I bend these bromide photos and as always they are placed as the most common variant, I got a bunch of them without overlap so I'm already a happy man. *blessed* And them badges and a sticker and I'm kinda glad I didn't get the keychain or poster because I got another acrylic stand for my newly started collection! *giggles* Yeah, this is just normal now.

As to how I did this was somehow more of an interesting thing to do based on, as usual with these raffles, special gifts with purchase. Of course I went for the usual 10-roll BUT - and here's a big but here - I did it in two batches of 5 just so I can get the 5-roll bonus... twice!! Because trust me, digital wallpapers are more usable than a video of a 10-roll bonus containing... I don't even care. *laughs* And yes thanks for asking, that's why I get those bromide photos for. *dabs* The 5-rolls are also done in different weeks so there's a chance to get gifts based on which week you rolled, as the raffle lasted 3 weeks. I wish I had the flag she held during the IRL bus tour but heck. *giggles*

Yeah this raffle thing is complicated I'll just put what I got here while I OPEN HER UP!! *dabs*

Damn these are great even though I think I'll be happier without her in the bus guide outfit or something.
So yes, pink dress for the win.
*dabs*
(Also that's what the digital wallpapers are so *dabs*)

Badges are for flair because I don't know where to store them now...

... and then too bad I didn't get pink dress Moeshi as an acrylic stand.
*giggles*

OH SHIT haha okay I just scratched the base while putting it in-

Seriously Moeshi, why is yours so tight-
(I'm sure she'll appreciate my dirty jokes hehe)

And I guess Marinka-chan wins!!
Haha even if it's just talking about hand raises, Maria-chan won her too so...
*giggles*

I want to give the address away for what's up, but I doubt you understood Japanese so here's the logo.
*giggles*

Okay maybe I should write my confusion here before I go find out what the heck is happening here because this is Takahashi Rie's fanclub subscription bonus for the year!! Uh, this is no card with her face on it though which is ALL THE MORE CONFUSING to me (lol) that it uh, came with a postcard without much instruction (we will go through that in a bit) and a keychain because it's as if they don't think I love alpacas (voiced by Takahashi Rie lol) to give me more of them considering I already have one that makes the noise atop my mini PC which I press every night. *dabs* So yeah, if it's a mystery I need to solve as with what is with this fanclub anyways, I'll go figure it out later, we still got other stuff to talk about. *giggles*

HUH??!!
(Haha is this a printing error?)

PA-KA~!!!
(Haha if you get it, you get it)

It looks like I was supposed to pair this with future gifts from here on so...
GUESS I GOTTA KEEP SUBSCRIBING TO HER FANCLUB!!!
*dabs*

You might find this familiar.
*giggles*

Oh wow, did the customs really open this up to inspect what is inside?
I mean, they won't find anything interesting even I'm disappointed-
*laughs*

Hmm, they didn't make use of the separator?
Well to be fair, NonNon's set also didn't since it's just 10 photos-

Ta-da~!!
I swear the chest is there, you just gotta look closer-

This is an interesting find considering I just got these from a similar method and it's NonNon if you could recall, this is Uesaka Sumire's latest photobook print bromide set!! In case you don't remember anything, let me fill you in. She released a serialization photobook off her regular series which is in the monthly issue of Seiyuu Grand Prix (from here on, Seigura) and contains all the stuff she has done over the years... and then they went to Hakodate to celebrate I guess, soaking in hot springs, among other indecent things we need to get Sumipe to do at this point. *giggles* So it was more surprising more than half a year later, when Seigura decided to sell some of its photos for that very trip they went to pad the book (lol), through their own print bromide service EMii. Yeah, and if you think this is the next best thing to jack off too, do not be surprised to know that this is way less indecent than whatever she may have shown in her photobook... which I bought digitally, thanks for asking, that's how I knew. *dabs*

I'm not going to show you much even though the selling period is long over and they didn't post much of these online so SHE IS MINE!!! *laughs*

A decent summary of what she has to offer. Or this order of 10 photos, really.
*giggles*
(Really makes you think which insane fan bought the 2L-sized ones-)
(Just because it looks bigger?? BRUH haha)

And last but not least...
(Oh, it's flipped haha)

Oh wait this is a plastic bag, I thought it was wrapping-
How did they even fit this in?
*laughs*

Oh what the heck they taped the bag onto the box???
WHO DID THIS
(lol)

Ah, this might be the most wholesome package this year.
*giggles*

So last but not least and no she was not here to pad the order lol there was something else to do so but they chickened out who knows when that will appear so ignore that, this is Hasegawa Kasumi's yearly phtobook and other goods!!! *blessed* No really, I am SERIOUSLY thinking on whether to count this as a proper review seeing it I just slapped it here. I do have my reasons though. This is only half the amount of pages as in a full-sized photobook (so 60 pages including a write-up) which now that I think about it if I could bundle this with her photobook last year that'll do it *giggles* but no it sold out she is that popular after all. Oh yeah, if you don't know who she is then go back to the previous time where I formally introduced her collaboration T-shirt here, but long story short she is an Instagram beauty though not really like marupi-chan and her without glasses will not do her justice (hehe), but Kasumi...-chan? *giggles* Kasumi-san here quite a lovely person and I only knew of that through that one Instagram live and no I only cared about her short video series done with 2 other girls but hers is just better *dabs* so yeah, look how far we have come this year, me. *giggles*

Most of this will be the photobook and I will only show the best of her don't mind me hehe, and even though the site promised that they won't overlap the random bromide photos (in sets of 2) I don't trust them especially not when they didn't put it in an opaque slip (I guess that's how you can know to not overlap this) so I just went with like, 3 sets of 2 so 6 total I was not disappointed, and some Polaroids because they said these are unique and in limited stock, and if I can get them signed above that. Well, I got it on the one photo, so I'm not that disappointed. *dabs*

Alright I think the right one convinced me that her without glasses also looks great.
*blessed*

Oh wait, these are transparent slips?
Haha trust me when my first reaction was wondering if they are random.
*laughs*
(Well, as the trend goes, random ones typically come in opaque slips to create secrecy)


写真集 Hasegawa Kasumi "Frontier"
Perfection (without glasses).
*thumbs up*

Well, looks like the frontier is in Bali?? *laughs* You will see in a bit that she does do something different every year for her photobooks she has been doing it for a while now and last year's was cosplay-themed it seems and was also B5-sized, so it's already amazing that this one was travel-based which I guess I fancy even with just a slice-of-life theme. It does have a crazy amount of outfits though even though we don't get to see much which is a pity because any gravure magazine would've just sold the rest of their cuts on a digital photobook and even then they still have much to spare (lol), but you know, she is kinda rare compared to the Japanese voice actresses out there she is literally an actress herself (especially with the glasses hehe), so you know. I might just love more than half of the book if not for embracing her image without her killer weapon. *giggles*

You will see more when we talk about the mini Q&A segment in the middle of the book, so let's!

And there you go, the very reason why I fell in love with her.
*blessed*

Okay I don't know where you are pointing but I'm definitely excited.
*smiles*

Oh yeah, this is my phone wallpaper for tomorrow-
*dabs*
(Cute, isn't she?)
[See on Instagram]

*speechless*
I think I love her.
*giggles*

Yeah I know you love balls but I love you more-
No, wait.
*laughs*

If you chose anyone other than the one in the middle, you need a mental checkup.
*laughs*

Just let me kiss her or something, dude.
*fap*

Amamiya Sora, eat your heart out-
Also, is that a belly under what seems to be a white innerwear?
*cringe*

She is so damn wet I can't even.
*giggles*
(Yeah, washed out all her makeup-)

This is good, like, very good.
She can already be a model.
*dabs*

I don't get the theme here but I guess I'll sleep on the floor?
*laughs*

Does this look like she built a sandcastle and hope it wouldn't fall on her...?
*giggles*
(I need to shut the f**k up-)

OMG Amamiya Sora, eat your heart out-
Is she supporting the wall or what...?
*giggles*

No really, her height is selling her body on me or whatever.
*dabs*

This.
*chef's kiss*

Okay who's going to push her down if not me?
*giggles*

It's like Moeshi coming out of the pool in her wet swimsuit but in reverse...?
*laughs*

Oh, there's a Q&A themed thing here, didn't expect that.
*giggles*

OMAKE!!!

"Kasumi's Keywords" looked like a simple review of what she is and represents, using the alphabets of her given name... in Romaji. If you don't get it you don't have to look it up, as I will summarize them right now~!!!

K - Know
She likes to be keen about stuff even as a kid, and has given he new insights even for the past decade. It does her help to expand her curiosity and thinking on how she acts on her drama roles in her career too.

A - Action
As a person of action, she knows to not have regrets in life, so will do things proactively whenever, but over the past decade has learned to tame that down and wait a bit for important decisions, but in the ever-changing world she is in maybe she will still...?

S - Songs
She is a fan of RADWIMPS as a kid, and now is into Mrs. GREEN APPLE. She likes to go for solo karaoke to de-stress, and can't live without music!

U - Utopia
She dreams of a world where everyone makes peace with each other. It is true in the world around her, but she dislikes people who get mad, and isn't good with pesky things. She tries to not let things get the worst of her, and that's how she lives her life now.

M - Megane
She got into glasses in elementary school thanks to Harry Potter, but doing it again in university over contact lens got her the alternate style of an image we see today. At this point she would say glasses her is the real her and is happy how this is already part of her role. That also means having them and without gives her quite a range of images she can use for her acting career.

I
She recalls herself being super serious and bad at communication in high school days, and being awkward at home, it really feels like she couldn't find an identity for herself. She couldn't recognize herself for being a perfectionist, and knew to not expect so from others or be disappointed just because, and even then this was quite a recent realization. With that, she learned to be a little happier with her life, and knew to give recognition to herself for who she is.

I agree, no music no life, dude. *dabs* So yeah, hope this is a good summary of not just her but the glasses thing, it's not just a fetish now it's just the her I like now. *silence* And... back to the boob- Book!! *giggles*

*blessed*
(Kasumi-san? I will feed you with my mouth-)

*smiles*
(Why though, why does the glasses transform her into a beauty-)

My girl after she hears me talk about s*x jokes for half an hour lol

OH DAMN WE IN BED NOW???
Why are you clothed?
*laughs*

Oh I guess this is the Bali garb, hopefully this is thinner than it looks.
*giggles*

There's the other cut but I rather show you cheeky Kasumi here.
*dabs*

Maybe I take a proper photo of this so I can put this as my desktop wallpaper.
*blessed*

Why does she look so good in everything though?
Oh, the glasses.
*laughs*

*speechless*
No, it's okay, you can eat the rest.
*blessed*

OFFSHOTS!!!
Bottom right, yes.
*giggles*
(Also, why is she lost in a convenience store with her luggage?)

SHE IS SO DAMN WET I CAN'T EVEN-
(I know, it's just the arm, I know *licks*)

Okay, Kasumi without glasses is great.
*giggles*

Oh wow, she has produced as many photobooks as I have bought them of voice actresses??
(Damn me, this is how much you have missed out on)

"Thank you so much for getting your hands on this photobook.
Looking back on the past 10 years that passed, I was shocked that it was already a decade.
As I started on my career, I met many people, and they have supported me.
As to how much I have been lifted by others throughout, I could not recall them all.
For those who have been supporting me so far, I want to repay on the many roles I have been on.
Seriously I think so, that this is the now after 10 years.
Thanks so much so far!!
With these feelings, I feel refresh and will work hard!"

I mean, I'm just here for the glasses, Kasumi-san. I don't know what you are talking about. *giggles*

Yeah, now you wonder how the package was this small, this is everything apart from the photobook, by the way.
*giggles*




Okay this took too long I didn't expect the photobook to be good. *laughs* No really, I legit expected it to be much of not Kasumi with glasses and a whole lot of swimsuit shots but uh, I got it wrong on both. *giggles* I was also supposed to talk about the new "Alternative Girls" trading cards I bought but damn even till now it has not been shipped even though it should've been by now... so let's hope I get my refund. *cringe* This is not a lot but if I missed anything, I'll be sure to update it over the weekend while I think of how to write the new fanfic. *laughs* See you guys next time then, and next time... let's just hope it comes in by the end of the year. *prays*

I know right, I'm SO GLAD I got the calendar for next year. *dabs* Oh yeah, I gotta start looking at the next Comiket soon. It's not an anniversary to me but it is to them. For me. *wink*
