[Bonten Bamboo Ear Cleaning & Shoulder/Neck Massage] Ie Kano ~ A Day of Japanese Elegance with Your Refined Rental Girlfriend ~ [CV. Shuri Kimura]

Looking at the illustration and the work's synopsis, some of you might have worried, "A hero mask!? Won't that be distracting when I'm trying to immerse myself in the healing?" But that turned out not to be an issue at all. The mask is only touched on briefly during the talk parts at the beginning and end, and it's basically never mentioned during the healing parts like the ear cleaning. The heroine, Hitone-chan, is an assertive yet proper and elegant girl who really pushes forward. She's a high schooler who's started an outrageous business, and an equally outrageous, driven high schooler who serves customers herself as a cast member, but as you can tell from the sample, she heals us listeners with a beautiful, calm voice. During the ear cleaning, she lets you press your head against thighs just as plump as her best friend's. Within the 45-minute ear cleaning session, there's only a very brief moment, but there's a part where she presses firmly and rubs vigorously. When she presses firmly like that, you just can't help but press half your face into her thighs, right? You might want to say to the listener character who's shying away from such an adorable heroine, "Why did you even request this service if you're gonna act like that," but thanks to the heroine's assertiveness, the scenario flows smoothly, making for a very easy-to-listen-to experience.

I bought this after learning that Kimura Shuri would be appearing. The demure personality of Hitone-chan, the character she plays, matched perfectly with Shuri-san's voice, and I think you can enjoy a gentle, soft, healing time with it. Being whispered to in your ear was really heart-fluttering, especially combined with the breathing sounds, and having her call you "anata-sama" as she guided things along also made for a healing experience, I think. The sounds of making a bonsai-style tray landscape and preparing matcha felt fresh, unlike anything I've heard in other works. Personally, I found the massage sounds and such to be very pleasant, but I was a little disappointed that the ear cleaning sounds felt a bit lacking in sound pressure. Since it ended in a way that suggests there's more to come, I'd love to see a sequel with a different situation as well.

A woman who's a company president while still in high school, yet embodies the ideal of a modest, graceful Japanese woman (Yamato Nadeshiko) — that's Hitone-san, the heroine of this work. Hitone-san speaks politely and carries herself gently, truly fitting the Yamato Nadeshiko image. Personally, what I enjoyed most were the bonkei (tray landscape) and tea ASMR in tracks 6 and 7. This was actually the first time I'd ever learned what bonkei was through this work, and the rustling, grainy sound of the sand being moved around was incredibly soothing to listen to. Also, in the tea scene, the sound of water being poured and matcha being whisked was very healing to listen to. Other scenes' ASMR were also great, like the lullaby in track 9 and the music-box-like sound of the kalimba. Overall, it's a wonderful work that really conveys a sense of Japanese tradition, so if you're even a little interested, please check it out!

今作のヒロインは高校生にして起業しているという中々バイタリティに溢れた子で割と主人公にもグイグイと距離を詰めてくる感じですが、距離近めだけど踏み込み過ぎず良い塩梅をわかっていて引くところも弁えてる感じが良かったです。 明るくも落ち着いた感じに木村珠莉さんのお声が合っていて彼女としての対応もきちんと癒される内容で良かったですね。

睡眠導入の一つとして購入。 作品の内容はフェイスマッサージから始まり、耳かき、肩や首回りのコリ解しとオーソドックスなものから、わびさび体験とちょっと変わったシチュエーションまで幅広く用意されていました。 わびさび体験は“盆景”と“抹茶点て”の二つが用意されており、盆景では砂を均したり石を配置する際に生じる硬質な音を、抹茶点てではシャカシャカと茶筅が陶器と擦れる音を楽しむ事が出来ます。 本ヒロインは～ですわ口調に、聞き手の事をあなた様呼びするお嬢様です。上品な言葉遣いと一歩引きつつ聞き手を立てるような言動の数々は大和撫子のまさにそれ。そんな大和撫子お嬢様が癒し手のおかげで終始おっとりとした口調で話が進んでいきますので、肩の力が自然と抜けるリラックスタイムを楽しめると思います。 微睡むようなゆったり感強めの作品となっていますので、当方と同じく睡眠導入ASMRとして購入を検討してもいいのではないでしょうか?

2時間ちょっとの健全な音声作品。 大和的お嬢様の女子高生起業家(一音)と1日だけ彼女として過ごすというもの。 声優は木村珠莉さん。 演じるのが起業家ということで力強そうなイメージがあったが、そういうことは無くASMRとして問題なく聴ける演技だった。 シチュエーションは耳かきの他にフェイスクリーニングやわびさび体験など。 個人的に気になったのはトラック6と7の音でのわびさび体験。こういう少し変わったシチュエーションが楽しめたのは良かった。 それと、トラック9の寝かしつけはカリンバというあまり見ない楽器が使われていて、この音が心地よかった。
