Ear Cleaning No. 1: The Ultimate, Unparalleled Ear-Cleaning Sounds — 9 Hours

What kind of audio do you all listen to before going to sleep? I bet a lot of people fall asleep listening to ear-cleaning sounds. You like whispering voices too, right? I get it. But have you ever had the experience of "getting woken up by the voice," or "normally this kind of audio calms me down and lets me fall asleep, but somehow the voice gets into my head and I can't drift off," or "it says I can fall asleep to this, but the voice just doesn't suit me and I can't stop noticing it, so I can't sleep"? No? You haven't? I see... Well, I have. Do you like ear-licking sounds too? I get that as well. I love them too. But doesn't listening to them sometimes energize you instead, making it even harder to fall asleep? It feels great, but isn't it a problem when you're trying to sleep? No? I see... Well, I have that experience. Ear-cleaning sounds... sometimes the ear-cleaning sound itself just doesn't suit you... This particular sound just isn't to your taste... If you listen to many different types of ear-cleaning sounds, you'll run into this, right? What, you say the voice actress's voice is so good that none of that matters? I understand... but honestly, don't you sometimes wish the ear-cleaning sound itself were even better? For a long time, I made a playlist from Chiroru-san's second work, excluding the last track, and fell asleep listening to it. Because I'd wake up at the cat's voice. (I do love that bit of direction, though.) With this work, from the moment I started listening until I fell asleep, nothing ever woke me back up. The moment it switches to a different track, you get jolted awake by the voice... that doesn't happen here. Voices are wonderful. Cute. The best. I love them. That's why I've downloaded over 200 audio works. But when I really want to fall asleep, there are only a handful of audios I can truly rely on. This is one of them. This is it! Thank you, Chiroru-san. I'll fall asleep to this again tonight. Good night.

A work of roughly nine-plus hours, composed entirely of ear-cleaning sounds with no voice or breathing at all. I've listened to a few ear-cleaning-only works before, but regardless of their quality as ASMR, most of them are short, so to really enjoy them you have no choice but to loop the playback, and hearing the same sounds repeat gets tiresome easily. Sustaining nine hours with nothing but ear-cleaning sounds must require an enormous amount of confidence in one's technique, and that came through even in the handwritten letter included with the work. Voiced works with a story are great too, but precisely because this one has no voice, you can immerse yourself in other things without being pulled into the content of the work—that's a big advantage. Beyond helping me fall asleep, I found it really helped me focus when reading novels while listening. (That said, listening while doing other things is fine, but definitely not while driving or operating machinery.) It's been almost a year since the previous work, and during that time the creator clearly honed their ear-cleaning skills. After a period of quiet preparation, this work was finally released—it feels like a staple, the equivalent of plain white rice for Japanese people. The handwritten letter conveyed real warmth and moved me. The next work is said to include voice, so I'm looking forward to that as well.

Honestly, I think the ASMR scene tends to be built around situational premises. This work has none of that at all. It's entirely specialized toward complete, total sleep. Even so, I can say with confidence that it's worth buying. I really want people to experience the pleasant pressure here that you can't feel elsewhere. My personal recommendations are the craftsman's ear-cleaning, cotton swabs, and shiatsu massage. The cotton swab sounds especially have none of that hollow, thin quality common in other works—the texture of the sound makes you think, "Wait, am I the one cleaning my ears right now?" The shiatsu really lets you feel solid pressure. Considering you're likely to fall asleep somewhere within the full nine hours, the cost performance is incredible—you genuinely don't know when you'll finish listening to it all. The voice is also very good, so if you want to try a voiced version too, I'd recommend checking out the previous work as well. Thank you for making such a wonderful work. Good night.

This time the work is thoroughly centered on meticulously crafted "sound," which personally I really love! The massage sounds made me incredibly sleepy too (つ'ワ'c) The plastic ear-cleaning sound in particular has such amazing depth to it—it's my favorite! Listening to it, I fall asleep almost instantly! You can't hear sounds like this anywhere else, so I'll just settle in and listen carefully for nine hours... (( _ _ ))..zzzZZ

A new work from Koineko Chiroru-san! I've been waiting for this. This time it's a work specialized for falling asleep, consisting only of voiceless ear-cleaning sounds. I do love Chiroru-san's whispering voice, but having nothing but top-tier sound is also irresistible in its own way. My especially recommended tracks are "Ear Bug Ear-Cleaning," "Both-Ears Plastic Ear-Cleaning," and "Bonten"! I feel like I could fall asleep in an instant, but out of sheer stubbornness, wanting to keep listening to the great sound, I manage to stay awake—though ten minutes is my absolute limit. It's the ultimate falling-asleep ASMR! Thank you, Chiroru-san!

I had been searching for works where you can listen to ear-cleaning without any voice, but there really aren't many of those, so it was quite a struggle to find one. In the midst of that, I was hoping that Koineko Chiroru-san, whose works I usually listen to a lot, might have a voiceless ear-cleaning work—and I'm so grateful that it actually got made. I listened to it right after purchasing, and since I was already sleepy, I think I fell asleep in less than two minutes. The usual voiced ear-cleaning works are great too, but if you ever feel like listening to something voiceless, I recommend this work.

To cut to the conclusion: yes, you can fall asleep. Easily. I felt the same way at first. Right, with ASMR you want to hear a human voice, I totally get that. Before buying this work, I myself was firmly in the "whispering and reading-aloud works put me to sleep best" camp. But none of that matters with this work. You really can fall asleep—it's incredible how good the sound pressure feels! It makes you go, "Ah, so this is what true skill looks like," and you just end up convinced. Please, listen to this work and experience sounds you can't make yourself, born from something as ordinary and universal as "ear-cleaning," something everyone does. Addendum: while listening to this (in one ear), I actually cleaned my own ear (for real) at the same time. I couldn't feel anything from the real one at all lol.

I don't want to be seen as just an anti-fan, so let me state upfront: I've purchased every single one of this person's audio works. I'm sorry if listeners find this unpleasant to read, but I just can't handle talking/speech well—hearing voices makes me anxious. I believe I've written a similar review before. So up until now I've only listened to voiceless tracks, and I'm grateful that this work manages to go the full nine hours without voice. In some of the earlier works, there were tracks where turning up the volume would introduce noise, but recent works have none of that at all—you can really feel the effort put in. I listen to an enormous amount of ASMR, but when it comes to the combination of ear-cleaning sounds plus long duration, this creator is the best. If you like ear-cleaning sounds, buying this work will keep you set for years.

People call voiceless ear-cleaning ASMR "challenging" on DLSite, but personally this is exactly the kind of thing I'd been searching for. If anything, I wonder why there isn't more voiceless ASMR out there. I used to mainly search for and listen to voiceless ASMR on YouTube, but on YouTube the audio quality inevitably ends up poor depending on your environment, and you never know when a blaring loud ad is going to ambush you, so it's hard to really relax. Character-based ASMR with cute voices can be fun to listen to and soothing in its own way, but in most cases the actual ASMR sound quality isn't that great, or the voice is too loud for use while sleeping, or the playback time is too short—there were so many works with complaints like these that I rarely found anything usable for a good night's sleep. Koineko Chiroru has been very considerate in separating voiced and voiceless versions even in past works, which I really appreciated. This time it's a work focused purely on sound, so I bought it immediately. As always, it's among the top three in audio quality for ear-cleaning ASMR. There's a variety of sounds beyond just ear-cleaning, so you can choose depending on your mood that day. If you're not looking for a voice actress but rather the practical value of ASMR for relaxing, I think this is an unbeatable work.

I was just starting to think I wanted a new release, and then this showed up, so I bought it instantly. The fact that it can stand on its own with no voice at all is already impressive, but it turned out to be a work worth that much. The way the creator narrows the target audience in pursuit of quality is really something. Personally, "Ear Bug" is my favorite. High-speed ear-cleaning sounds in general are common, but this one is just a bit different. I browse around for ear-cleaning content all over the place, but in the end I always come back to Chiroru's works.
