Ear-Cleaning Happy Time♪ ~Supervised by Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop~

Ever since I saw the release announcement, I was really looking forward to this work's release date! I think the biggest selling point of this work is, without question, the fact that Hinata Aoi-sama actually took training for employees at a real ear-cleaning shop in order to create it. I actually visited this shop myself the other day, so listening to this gave me a strangely nostalgic feeling (lol) The conversation in the opening scene is exactly like what I experienced in person — the way she speaks gently and considerately to the listener really amplifies the realism. Yuka-san's Hakata dialect was adorable. While receiving shaving and ear-cleaning treatments, the small talk about ears is delivered in a relaxed voice that doesn't interfere with the treatment sounds or your sleep, so it eases your tension and invites you into a world of healing. The ear-cleaning sounds are also realistic, carefully crafted to move from the outer ear → middle → inner ear, with the breathing changing depending on the part being treated. It's rendered so vividly that I found myself completely immersed in the work's world. The face/hand massage and shoulder-patting parts don't have the same flashiness as the ear-cleaning sounds, but their delicate sounds offer a different kind of healing. I'd recommend listening in a relaxed state, in a room with indirect lighting, as that really enhances the realism. The ultimate healing created by Yuka-san's soft whispers and the realistic sound effects is something you absolutely must experience! It's perfect not only for people who love ear-cleaning content, but for anyone seeking healing! Finally, I'd like to sincerely congratulate Amagami Drop on the release of their first work. I'm looking forward to their next release as well!!

Even as someone living in Fukuoka, I was genuinely shocked at how natural the Hakata dialect sounded, with almost no sense of awkwardness (;ﾟДﾟ) Most works like this usually have a fake-sounding dialect, but I can vouch for this one. The quality of the ear-cleaning audio itself, which is the main point, is also extremely high — it's surprising that this is a debut work. Koharu-san, who does the ear cleaning, is said to have come up to Tokyo from Hakata, so her dialect hasn't quite worn off yet, and whenever she lets her guard down it slips out — listening to that is enough to make you grin uncontrollably. In any case, it's a flawless, perfect work, and it's great for falling asleep too. Please at least try the trial version — this Hakata dialect is the real deal!

This is the first work from Hinata Aoi Yuka's personal circle, "Amagami Drop." However, the script, sound effects, and content are put together at such a high quality that it's hard to believe this is her first production. There's no doubt about Hinata Aoi-san's skill as a voice actress, but I also felt a strong sense of her talent as a creator. I'd say this might be the greatest ear-cleaning work ever made, despite being a debut. Five key points: 1. Supervised by an actual ear-cleaning specialty shop 2. Pure healing 3. The sound effects are the best 4. The Hakata dialect that comes out occasionally is extremely cute 5. You won't get tired of it even after listening for a whole year! This is a very ambitious work, made with Hinata Aoi-san receiving guidance from a specialty shop. From the flow of the treatment to the atmosphere, everything felt completely natural and very realistic. Even the shop clerk's thoughtfulness and the small details of the conversation felt very natural. And this work is filled with truly pure healing. Koharu-chan, played by Hinata Aoi-san with her warm, gentle voice, treats the listener — the customer — with abundant, healing hospitality. The sound effects, like the ear-cleaning sounds, are also top-notch, and you can feel the care put into each one. The sound is very mild and broadly appealing. Also, Koharu-chan is from Hakata, and occasionally her dialect slips out during the work, which is irresistibly cute! I've been listening to this work continuously for a year since its release, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. For me, when I think of ear-cleaning works, it's "Ohimikaki-kaki Shiawase Time-bai♪." It's content that's easy to recommend to beginners while also being high enough quality to fully satisfy core fans — works like this are rare. If you're a fan of audio works, or of Hinata Aoi Yuka-san, this is a must-listen. It's practically required listening at this point, so if you haven't bought it yet, please get it! P.S. Hinata Aoi Yuka-san, thank you so much for this truly wonderful work. I love Koharu-chan. I'm looking forward to seeing the path you continue to carve out as a creator.

This is the first work from Hinata Aoi Yuka's personal circle, a quintessential healing ear-cleaning work set in an ear-cleaning shop. Apparently, to make this work, she actually underwent training at Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop... And thanks to that, the ear-cleaning sounds were very pleasant. You can clearly tell the difference between the sound of an ear pick and a cotton swab, and the difference between the sound when cleaning the outer ear versus the inner part. It's not intense, but rather slow and gentle, so it's relaxing and makes you sleepy. Besides the ear-cleaning sounds, there are sound effects for even small details, like the sound of pulling out a wet wipe when wiping the ear, which gives it a real sense of presence. Also, in the work she mentions a 60-minute course, and the actual audio really is a bit over 60 minutes. Because of that, you can really feel like you're actually getting your ears cleaned at a shop. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the ear massage sound could have been a bit louder? I like that rumbling sensation in the ear... Also, the Hakata dialect is charming as always. She basically speaks in standard Japanese, but occasionally the Hakata dialect slips out, and being teasingly whispered to in Hakata dialect right next to your ear is irresistible. Hinata Aoi Yuka's Hakata dialect is wonderful... Little casual Hakata references too, like the candy being Amaou strawberry flavor... Definitely recommended for when you want to relax or as a companion before sleep.

First of all, congratulations on the first work!! Those who attended Amagami Drop's booth at C94 may have already heard it before purchasing the DL version... but the healing power is really strong!! If you like ear cleaning, if you like Hakata dialect, if you like healing content — if even one of these applies to you, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it! All of them apply to me... and I was healed to the point of falling asleep while listening. The healing element is really strong, and since this is an all-ages work, if you're feeling down, I'm sure it'll heal you completely and help you bounce back!! If you've never been to Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop, you might be surprised after experiencing the actual shop and then listening to this... lol (I went after a friend recommended it, and when I listened afterward, I burst out laughing at the opening part) Since it follows the actual treatment process exactly as it's done in real life, I think those who've been there can recall that experience while feeling the voice and sounds of Koharu, played by Hinata Aoi Yuka-san, and be healed by it!!!!!

I bought this expecting a lot from the massage part too, including the ear vibration massage. But it was mainly focused on ear cleaning, with the massage part being rather short. However, I really appreciated that during the massage there weren't any "rub rub"-type verbal sound effects or mutterings, which let me fully focus on the stroking sounds. The shop clerk talks a lot, and the ear-cleaning sounds etc. were a bit quiet, so relatively speaking, the whole work ends up feeling dominated by constant talking. But as everyone knows, her voice is great, so I was satisfied. The acting, dialect included, felt fairly natural and unaffected, which I liked. I'd love to have a shop clerk like this clean my ears. The ear vibration massage sound was really to my liking though, so I wish there had been more of that on its own. Looking forward to the next work!

As noted, this work is supervised by Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop, so through this audio work you can experience the atmosphere and flow of an actual ear-cleaning shop treatment. There are many circles that are particular about their ear-cleaning sounds, but I don't think there are many works where the creator actually went to an ear-cleaning shop for hands-on training like this. Thanks to that training, the recorded ear-cleaning sounds are realistic and pleasant to listen to. I think this is a must-listen not only for fans of Hinata Aoi Yuka-san, but for anyone who loves ear-cleaning audio works. Also, Koharu-chan's gentle voice and relaxed way of speaking, as performed by Hinata Aoi Yuka-san, combine with the ear-cleaning sounds to create an absolutely tremendous healing effect...! Happily, there's also a track with music box BGM included, which I highly recommend for when you want to drift off to sleep. As for Koharu-chan, there are plenty of scenes involving her dialect (Hakata-ben) and various props that are cutely calculating, making her a very adorable character packed with Hinata Aoi Yuka-san's charm! If a shop clerk like this actually existed at a real shop, I'd probably request her every single time... There are also enjoyable bonus tracks included, like Hinata Aoi Yuka-san's trademark rambling free talk and audio from her actual training session, which let even first-time listeners experience her charm. This is a wonderful work that I think will be a great go-to whenever I want to feel healed or warm and cozy! Thank you for this.

I was completely won over by the cuteness of the Hakata dialect that gets unlocked partway through. It's incredibly healing, and the sleep-inducing effect is outstanding too! And after listening to the bonus track of Hinata Aoi Yuka-san undergoing her training, I found myself wanting to actually visit an ear-cleaning shop for the first time (*^^*)

I was really looking forward to this as Amagami Drop's first work, and it turned out to be a wonderful piece! The sound quality, being supervised by an actual ear-cleaning shop, was top-notch and very healing. Also, since parts of it were spoken in a way that felt like her natural, unscripted voice, it didn't feel like a performance and had a strong sense of realism.

Just as it says it's supervised by them, this is genuinely the real deal from Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop. I've been to Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop a few times myself, and the flow and atmosphere are exactly like it. To the point where I'm amazed they could recreate it this faithfully. Adding Yukanyan's voice and dialect on top of that makes it perfect. Oh, and if this made you curious about Yamamoto Ear Cleaning Shop, please go check it out for yourself too (shameless plug)
