Snuggled Up and Possessed: A Dual-Ear Whisper ASMR with the Yorigami Sisters That Won't Let You Sleep

【P.S. To everyone out there playing a certain idol game】 By the time this review is out in the world, I don't think my consciousness will still be in this world. After listening to this work once, I decided to loop it all the way past the New Year into 2025, because I can already tell my brain won't survive a second listen-through. Please be sure to listen to tr03 and tr04 of the trial version. And if you feel even a little bit that it's "good," purchase this work during the 28-day limited period and be sure to download the bonus track. If you do, then through the most malevolent, most terrible "blessing" of the Yorigami sisters, a wonderful year will surely come your way in 2025 and beyond. (The comment cuts off here.)

I bought this immediately and listened to it because it's an ASMR work featuring the two up-and-coming, currently buzzworthy voice actresses Iida Hikaru and Kawamura Reina. This ended up being my last purchase of 2024, and it also became my personal number one work of 2024. I can't believe I'd encounter such a wonderful work right at the end of the year...! As for my impressions after listening all the way through, the only word is "amazing." From track 1 onward my ears were already in heaven, and thanks to both actresses' acting skill and breathing, there was a constant parade of moments that made me grin uncontrollably—I felt so soothed and healed. Being spoiled like that really is wonderful!!! And in the bonus track, there were so many "I like you"s that I was smiling the whole way through. Thank you so much. If you're interested after listening to the samples, please buy it and have a lovely New Year's being spoiled by Nyoen-chan and Shion-chan!

Earl Grey's works, even though they're all-ages, often have a fair amount of sensuality woven in here and there, making me think "is this really okay as an all-ages work?" quite often, but this particular work gave the impression of being relatively wholesome ("KENZEN") by comparison. I think the focus was on depicting romantic feelings gradually blossoming out of a comedic atmosphere, and I feel it was good that they didn't awkwardly throw in the kind of sultry acting that's so common in audio works. Even without direct depictions, when you think of this as the start of a life together for Nyoen, Shion, and the protagonist, you can feel a lingering resonance. It was really wonderful how, precisely because they were aware of being a plague god and a poverty god, they had drawn a line with the listener (the protagonist), yet you could see them truly falling for him. In the earlier tracks I liked how lively Nyoen felt, but as the tracks progress, Shion's calm tone of voice becomes comforting. I thought the emotional confessions in tracks 6 and 7 were great, especially Shion's whispering. That exquisite whisper that gives both comfort and a bit of a tickle... Beautiful. The casting of Iida Hikaru and Kawamura Reina, a pairing that "gets it," is really great too... I thought both of their voices are ones I'd love to hear if they were cast in original works like the Chou Junjou series as well. So, may Nyoen, Shion, and the protagonist's life together be happy for a long, long time. Dasvidaniya.

How is everyone spending this increasingly cold winter? I've been enthusiastically making my way through various audio works and playing various games. In the midst of that, at the end of 2024, this new work from Earl Grey caught my eye. Being a new Earl Grey release, I was already full of anticipation, and when I glanced at the voice cast, there were, for some reason, two familiar names. I'm sure there are fellow comrades among you who've arrived at this work in the same way. Now, since the preamble has gotten far too long, let me touch on the content: this time's work is basically an introduction to the Yorigami sisters combined with a bit of light ASMR. The first half mainly focuses on the two sisters' banter and personalities, the middle section deepens the relationship with each of them individually, and the latter half takes the form of an ASMR-style work. As a work, it's relatively light content, like the "self-introduction" type of work that's common at the start of each Earl Grey character series, but from the small sound effects and breaths scattered throughout, I think it's a wonderful work with a real depth of care put into it. Iida Hikaru's performance as Yorigami Nyoen is brazen, yet something kind peeks through here and there—an aggressive yet endearing performance that really captures Nyoen's character. Kawamura Reina's performance as Yorigami Shion has a nonchalant attitude, but in the one-on-one scenes there's a strange, naive oddness to her sense of distance—a performance with Shion's own allure, as if she's a little off from the rest of the world. Both performances were wonderful, so I really hope to see more solo works for each of them going forward. Now, having written this much, it might seem like listeners unfamiliar with the Touhou Project won't be able to enjoy this, so let me clarify: this work has been made so that even without knowing Touhou Project, fans of the original voice actresses can fully enjoy the voices themselves, so if you're interested, please do give it a try.

In this work, you spend a lovey-dovey, sweet time being closely attended to by the Yorigami sisters, played by Iida Hikaru and Kawamura Reina, and it's an ASMR work where the breaths and whispers right by your ear are just incredibly soothing. Or rather, it's already happiness enough just to hear their voices, but when they whisper "I like you, I like you" right in your ear with the binaural mic, what's going to happen to your ears, to your brain...? Certain producers out there can probably imagine it, right? Fans of Iida-san and Kawamura-san, if you listened to the samples and felt even a little bit of happiness, buy it right now and spend a happy time together with them.

I personally hadn't listened to much ASMR before, but I bought this because it features voice actresses I like. Thanks to this amazing start, 2025 is looking like it'll be a pretty great year. I want to take care of them. They're pitiful yet adorable. As I mentioned, I hadn't listened to much ASMR until now, but I think I might be getting hooked. When I close my eyes and listen, I can definitely feel the presence of some kind of sixth sense that had been dormant inside me.

I bought this because I like Touhou and a certain idol game, and the content was very satisfying. Nyoen's (CV: Iida Hikaru) bright voice and Shion's (CV: Kawamura Reina) low-energy voice went together really well. Being whispered to by the two of them made me want to be possessed myself. The bonus voice track for purchasers during the first 28 days was also really great, so if you're on the fence, please buy it and give it a listen as soon as you can.

Congratulations on the release of this work. I'm a fan of Iida Hikaru, who plays Yorigami Nyoen-chan in this work. I'll try to write this review with as few spoilers as possible. This time it's a sister-duo work featuring the poverty god Yorigami Shion-chan, played by Kawamura Reina, and the plague god Yorigami Nyoen-chan, played by Iida Hikaru. When I saw the cast, a certain idol work that was a hot topic in 2024 came to mind, and since this is a work about a poverty god and a plague god, talk of money naturally comes up, so I think fans of that work will enjoy this even more. Roughly speaking, the first half has a fun, chaotic atmosphere, and the latter half is proper ASMR content, packed with tons of adorable voices and breaths that are very soothing. And for those who haven't bought it yet, pay attention to this part. For a limited time of 28 days from the 12/31 release, there's a bonus "I like you" track stringing together all the "I like you"s in the work, and I was looking forward to it, but the sheer amount of "likes" you can take in in such a short time is amazing—it's the best. With this great opportunity, why not buy it if you haven't yet, like giving an otoshidama (New Year's gift money) to the Yorigami sisters? Personally, I loved the gap between Nyoen-chan's usually haughty, high-and-mighty energy and how sweet and clingy she gets when she lets her guard down—it was incredibly cute and amazing. I personally hadn't listened to much ASMR and this was my first time buying a work from Earl Grey, but it's added more comfort to my life and I'm very grateful. My end-of-year and New Year's holiday time became even better. Thank you so much for creating and releasing such a wonderful work! If Iida Hikaru appears in future works, I'll buy them without hesitation, so I'll be looking forward to it.

I'd listened to Iida Hikaru's ASMR before, but having the back-and-forth with Kawamura Reina made it a much more satisfying ASMR experience! They tease each other, bicker, and I got to hear their exchange in my left ear and right ear—I'm so happy! I'm not really great with ASMR, but I was able to enjoy listening to these two all the way through! I'm going to relax by listening to this at the end of the year!

Nyoen, played by Iida Hikaru, and Shion, played by Kawamura Reina, are both so adorable. A haughty, tsundere plague god, and a pitiful, airheaded poverty god. Having affection directed at you from both of them gives you such a happy feeling. It's a wonderful, lovey-dovey story where you want to wipe away the unease they feel from being disliked by everyone, and make them happy. I'm very satisfied with this purchase, so if you're even slightly interested, please do check it out!
