Holiday House: The House of Tan

・Overwhelming cost performance The first thing that catches your eye is the price. A shockingly low 216 yen. And yet a massive total runtime of 4 hours 7 minutes. That's 0.9 yen per minute. Incredibly generous and easy on the wallet. ・Quality It's not just the volume, the sound quality is amazing too. My personal favorites are the bonten (ear pick tool) and ear wiping parts. It really felt like I was actually being touched. How do they even do this? ・Hinata-chan and Hitomi-san Hinata-chan returns from the previous work. The way she devotedly does so much for me makes my heart flutter. She comes to meet me in the heat, makes shaved ice for me, wears an embarrassing swimsuit for me. And of course, continuing from the previous work, she does ear cleaning too. This time insect sounds serve as the BGM, which made it feel even more realistic. Also, the older sister Hitomi-san, who appears starting from this work, does all sorts of things — teasing her little sister, mocking her, egging me on. It doesn't feel mean-spirited, more like it comes from caring about her sister. Listening to the sisters' close, friendly conversations makes you grin. In the epilogue you also get to enjoy Hitomi-san's ear cleaning, and it feels great too. Super great. Also her breasts are huge. ・The feeling of spending time together There are many parts like taking walks and setting off fireworks, and as you listen, you really start to feel like you're actually living together with her. A cute, devoted girl working hard just for me — it makes me incredibly happy. It put me in an indescribably happy mood. ・Conclusion Highly recommended. If you like this one and are curious about the previous one too, you can get both for the price of one coin (500 yen). Actually, you could buy every single work by Tomimi-an and still not reach a thousand yen. If you don't have these yet, now's the time to complete your collection.

I really loved the first entry in "Kyuujitsuya," so I bought this one too. There were some things I was worried about before buying, so let me write about those. First, whether it's properly a continuation of the previous work. My concern was that maybe the protagonist (the listener) had been changed. At the beginning of the tracks, perhaps for the sake of new users, the content could be taken as if it were the first time using the service, but as it progressed, I became convinced it was indeed a continuation of the previous story. Next, I was also worried about the position of Hinata-chan's older sister, Hitomi-san. To cut to the conclusion, Hitomi-san was treated entirely as a side character. (That said, there is indeed an ear cleaning scene, etc.) Hitomi-san doesn't make any moves of her own, and there's no development where the protagonist (listener) wavers toward Hitomi-san, so I definitely recommend this to those who liked the previous work. As always, Tomimi-an makes truly wonderful works at low prices — I take my hat off to them.

The cicada sounds were so realistic that I thought "the cicadas are really going at it today," only to realize it was coming from my earphones (゜д゜). These days we send everything by email, so we rarely write postcards anymore. Amid all that, a single postcard arrives from Kyuujitsuya. Written with the feeling of "I want to see you," this postcard from Hinata-chan becomes a treasure for whoever receives it. So adorably cute (*´ω`*) In the main story, we get to catch a glimpse of a slightly bolder Hinata-chan compared to the previous work, which made me grin. This time, since her older sister is around, you can feel from their exchanges how hard she's trying to make sure I'm looking at her — Hinata-chan is just so cute. An irreplaceable moment, a summer spent at Kyuujitsuya. Truly happy times pass in an instant, and I couldn't help but wish this happy time could go on forever. When you visit Kyuujitsuya and say "I'm home," surely Hinata-chan will greet you with a gentle smile, saying "Welcome back." So, until we meet again — "see you later." (While listening to the main story, I couldn't stop imagining myself petting Hinata-chan's head for some reason, and her reacting bashfully with something like "Ehehe, it's embarrassing but I'm happy" (´ω`*))

The previous work already had more than enough volume, but this one increases that even further. The older sister Hitomi-san's appearances have also greatly increased compared to the previous work. The back-and-forth conversations with Hinata-chan are fun to listen to, and it made me feel warm inside thinking "so this is what Hinata-chan is normally like." The concept of "spending a leisurely holiday" remains unchanged. Besides ear cleaning and massages, it's packed with ways to spend summer sharing relaxed time with everyone. The intent behind my review title is the feeling that "it wasn't just about being healed." The slightly bothersome point, or rather sense of unease, I felt in the previous work — I wasn't overthinking it after all. I learned for the first time that this kind of device could be used even in an audio work, and it felt very fresh. The completeness of the storytelling in that regard is so high that I'm very curious about what comes next. Once I finish posting this, I plan to go buy the sequel right away. Since it is, after all, part of a series, I recommend purchasing and experiencing the previous work as well.

This work is also wonderful. Since I was busy and couldn't even go on a trip, I got to feel like I'd taken a little excursion. This time, amazingly, Hitomi-san's ear cleaning is also included. This too is healing. With such a long runtime and uncompromisingly high quality, I find myself worrying, "is it really okay to sell this at such a low price?" I'd definitely recommend this to anyone trying ear-cleaning voice works for the first time. Even buying it together with past works won't reach 1000 yen. Recommended.

I had bought the previous work, so I tried the second one too. As before, it exudes the same calm, rural atmosphere, and you can enjoy the work while soaking in a healing, restful air. The content is exactly as described in the track listing. However, this work has a particular focus on ear cleaning — the ear cleaning alone exceeds 60 minutes, a huge volume, so I especially recommend it to those who love ear cleaning sounds. It's far too long to listen to in one sitting, so I was able to enjoy it over a long time by splitting it up across several listens.

Way too cheap! Come on, seriously! (delight) I've listened to all kinds of ear-cleaning voice works, but there's nothing bad here — not the ear-cleaning sounds, the voice, the setting, nothing. When you're like "uwaaaah I'm so tired~" this is the one to listen to. You can clearly tell it's a great work. So go on and buy it~

A wonderful work as always. Ear cleaning, shampoo, massage — all of it feels great to listen to. And on top of that, it's cheap with a long runtime, what a deal. Honestly, I'd want to buy it even at triple the price. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be healed.

Since Tomimi-an announced they're ending their activities, I went back and listened through their past works. This is a sequel in the Kyuujitsuya series. This time, the older sister Hitomi (CV: Tōdō Renge) gets a lot more screen time. The sound effects are as excellent as ever — you'd never guess this is a work from over two years ago. The acting by Asami Yui and Tōdō Renge, both overwhelmingly popular in the healing genre, is also wonderful. In particular, Tōdō Renge, known for situation voice works playing youthful roles like a certain fox shrine maiden or a certain Ainu girl, also delivers a very pleasant, more mature performance in this work. The price is also very cheap, so I recommend it to fans of Tomimi-an, Asami Yui, and Tōdō Renge.

This is really good, so good. It keeps the atmosphere of the previous work while powering it up even further. There are plenty of healing voice works with ear cleaning and ear licking, but I think the charm of this series lies in the warm feeling you get from the ambient sounds of cooking, and that's solidly present in this work as well.
