Happy Birthday, Hondo Kaede-chan! Uh, too casual, huh.

*ahem* (*ahem* because my throat is still *ahem*)

"K-Kaede? A very happy birthday to you today. I hope you're having a great day without me by your side."

*sob* (You have no idea how much of her is TOTALLY my type lol)

It's the weekend!! You know what that means... The new package is here~!! Well, it didn't arrive within last month which was real disappointing but then again a lot happened within this week so I'm glad to be doing it now instead to be honest. *cough* Then again, it did delay like a week already so whatever then I wouldn't be in the mood or position to review them anyways. *ack* As you can see, not too well on yet, but who cares THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT lol I think we shouldn't delay this any longer you see how desperate I am about Ede-chan already? Yep, she's in this package HAHAHA finally isn't it

So, there's a lot to cover across TWO separate packages but for the sake of convenience I'll put them together anyways. I mean, with Valentine's Day and my birthday happening on the same month, YOU KNOW I gotta do something about it. Well, these guys below did haha

But first...!! I know, it's hard to convince people how fun unboxing is actually but man, it's the build-up of excitement, you know. You can skip this part if you want lol

The following happened on Thursday, so two days ago:

In a little more detail, besides the obvious choices of known acquaintances of Ookubo Rumi and (just very recently hehe) Koga Aoi, the set comes with - as stated on the site - a Valentine's Day Card with a special call hotline for audio content (which will require a Japanese phone number so f**k me), two bromides which yes that's why I bought them, and 2 Polaroid images. All specially done, by the way, not recycled content from magazine serialisation or photobooks or whatsoever. Evidenced by RumiRumi and Aoi-chan and their social media posts too, by the way. Well, Aoi-chan didn't really but still

Yep, they come with Polaroids- Why are they a popular thing now? lol

How it should have been shown, sorry for orientation issues

See, it's actually a very nice translucent letter enclosed for it. What are those plastic called? I forgot

Oh? I recognize that signature

Yay! It's RumiRumi!! (Secret code censored in case I could still do this in the next few months lol)

These are the best from her so far hehe I love it

Polaroid reveal time! And...

BOOM!! Kawaii~ (She's 31 already btw)

So this must be...

...and boy am I glad I opened RumiRumi's first because aside from the bad omen here...

...these aren't that great just because and...

1, 2...

Okay Aoi-chan this is actually great haha

Must they shove all of them in one small Ziploc bag? I don't know it's Zenmarket or MOGUMALL who did it honestly

So, I'll be elaborating it again during the photobook review and I take this as a teaser for the actual stuff so I think it deserved to be opened and reviewed first, it's Koga Aoi's photobook bromides! There are 10 AT RANDOM, so yes, my gacha skills be back to help me again, because call me God, I struck the jackpot of ~30% chance of getting no duplicates out of FIVE purchases. No really, I also learnt that this is also mathematically known as the Birthday Paradox because of this; It's just not 365 days but 10 items. Just Google a calculator and do the math yourself. No really, I spent like two days on this lol I consulted my friends and co-workers on this math to then know this is a known algorithm lmao I was literally doing a spreadsheet to calculate my chances haha I be so dumb Aoi-chan I should've just bought 20 lol

[If you see this as a clickable gallery then I must have too much time to not rest and clear my throat haha]

And yesterday...:

And... the rest of the package is finally here (Well, they aren't exactly together to be called "the package" but)

And today, after breakfast which normally I would have food delivery but I didn't: (Because WHERE GOT TIME dude lol)

Ah yes I almost forgot about this. What is it again? lmao

Ah, these girls. Like really, image may be... not that exciting to anyone but their voices are top tier *chef's kiss*

No seriously, tell me Goku doesn't sound cool until you found out it was voiced by a woman older than your mom.

So you see, looks aren't everything... Ayachi!! Haha

(But serious talk though if you haven't heard of tsundere Hondo Kaede and masochistic Naganawa Maria go play mobile game Alternative Girls lol it's only in Japanese though)

Ah yeah, my itchy hands hit on this one I can't even

What the rest of the package was like, including two photobooks which will not be reviewed here

So, I don't think this is important enough so I didn't list it above... *laughs* Okay maybe I'll change out the listing later

Okay, Minase Inori's fanclub has been giving stuff pretty much every month since last year already including my own purchased goods (and more will be coming because I bought more bromides from the fanclub store hehe), but suffice it to say this is the second gift from them, because this is Inori Machi Birthday Card for me. Yes, me!! Yep, obviously they have one for every single member, but you know, it's mine. *ugh* Anyways, let's take a peek at it shall we? Really isn't anything I also wouldn't even show you the image hahahahahahahaha

*At this point I still have no idea what it is because this didn't have a receipt and the forwarding service listed this as "miscellaneous"*

"Happy Birthday! To reach this yard (of your life) (I) wish you all smiles for the rest of your day [Happy Birthday♡]"

Yes, in case you didn't realise, that's the mascot loving me haha man no love from Inorin? Haha

Oh well I forgot not to upload this so here you go you're welcome that is A LOT of presents lol (Inorin please don't do me) (Then again please do hehe)

Ah okay why didn't I open from this side first idiot me (Happy birthday, me) (Haha)

Well, amongst many things that are used to pad orders, this one is an interesting turn, because it's... uh, how should I say it, bromides as part of a combined event of two radio shows to celebrate one person's birthday and that is... then again this is not March 2021 package so not Hondo Kaede but Naganawa Maria, from last year in 2020 November. These were already out for some time, I just wanted some Ede-chan bromides because out there there are...  none and I didn't really mind some Maria-chan too so I'm like "sure" and in they came. I was only intending to get two of the three sets available (because the girls' self bromides be not looking this way haha it's a thing for me), but I'm like screw it might as well pay for the order and all of them dropped by as you can see. *laughs* Yeah, it's easy to say this once you have paid ALL the money lol

If you preferred Maria-chan (in white) from these I can understand I'll sacrifice myself and take Ede-chan (in pink) instead hehe

THIS. *thumbs up* (*zombie sounds* Need... more... bromides...!!! lol)

And yep, more padding order problems haha. Hey, for Taketatsu Ayana's revival spring online live goods, why not? Yes, so as you can see, she is back after marriage because "married women be bored without work" (lol says Mikakoshi in that weekly night livestream) so I guess Ayachi decided to come back to sing more again. Great news by the way I could use more of her singing (and Kana-chan's, digital single end March announced recently) so besides her digital single in January earlier this year she has also very recently streamed an online live for her new and old songs, and merch is on hand. Again, PONY CANYON is the best everyone should be affiliated to them because they be the only ones who will just straight out sell bromides (and maybe the above previously) as part of the goods. Yeah, try asking MusicRay'n to sell those for a start. *laughs* So yeah, can't help but, and I wanna regret buying those oldies from auction sites or whatever stores alike if I knew there will be a resurgence of this stuff AFTER marriage lol Rika-sama too man this is wild we are stepping on untreaded ground here by the way this is the new generation of lasting idolism which is not Horie Yui lol

[Note: Also sold on PONY CANYON's international store if you have followed Ayachi's official music account on Twitter you may have noticed that Tweet]

Not showing more because this is a good representation of the content inside. Besides, just go see it in the store they all have the same theme, all EIGHT bromides lol (I must love her a lot, Kaji Yuki) (Haha yes, the husband)
