Perfect for fans of ear-cleaning ASMR who want to unwind in a cozy, traditional Japanese bathhouse setting and drift off to sleep.
On a rainy night filled with the sound of croaking frogs, a warm attendant welcomes you to a traditional Japanese inn, gently washing your back and hair. While soaking in the bath, they perform an experimental underwater ear cleaning using real underwater audio recording, weaving in the old tale of Urashima Taro along the way. It's a soothing, gentle experience wrapped in soft water sounds and a caring voice.
'Wouldn't ear cleaning underwater get you even cleaner?' It's the season when the frogs sing, a night of rain coming and going. After a leisurely greeting, you get freshened up as the attendant, done with work for the day, washes your back. 'Wouldn't ear cleaning underwater get you even cleaner?' On that whim, the ear cleaning happens while bobbing along in the bathtub. A slightly experimental work featuring ear cleaning while sunk in the tub, along with some old tales.
An attendant who, once the day's work is done, washes your back, washes your hair, and cleans your ears. They take care of you while cheerfully making idle chit-chat.
- 1Greetings and Tea Ceremony
At dusk, as the frogs begin to sing, you're guided by the attendant to a breezy Japanese-style room for a brief greeting and a cup of matcha. This part covers a short explanation of today's schedule and words of thanks.

- 2Idle Time 【For Work/Study】 Dummy Head & Speaker Versions
After the tea ceremony, you sit quietly in the room, doing nothing in particular. Mixed in with the sound of insects, you occasionally hear distant everyday noises and snippets of conversation from someone passing nearby. This track is truly meant for background use while working, consisting essentially of ambient sound alone. Use it whenever plain ambient BGM feels a little too lonely. The dummy head and speaker versions share the same content. The speaker version is a bonus recorded with a standard omnidirectional stereo microphone, with a slightly higher volume.

- 3The Bathhouse Attendant at the Washing Area 【Back Washing, Hair Washing, Gentle Bites】
On a night of rain coming and going, the attendant comes to wash your back. While cheerfully chatting about this and that, they give the dummy head — its scalp now softened — a good, splashy shampoo. Somehow, the feeling of actually being washed seems just a bit more real.

- 4Ear Cleaning in the Bathtub 【Bedtime Ear Cleaning & Old Tales】
The attendant returns with an ear-cleaning kit in hand. 'If we do this underwater, won't your ears get nice and soft, making them so much easier to clean?' Floating in the tub, sinking down until your ears are submerged, the ear cleaning begins underwater. Since we're already underwater, the bedtime old tale told afterward is also water-themed. Nearly all of the underwater audio here was actually recorded underwater, giving it a different sound from recordings made in air — made for relaxing bedtime listening, both underwater and at the water's surface. Please compare it with the usual, regular version and see which you prefer.

If Momodori-san says to compare listening to the normal version and the underwater version, then... Yes, I did exactly that. Honestly. Shall I tell you the result of that comparison? Sorry!! I'm sorry!!! I like the normal one better, always!!!! I did think it was interesting. After all, it's not something you experience often. Listening to someone talk while your ears are submerged in water. There have been situations like "diving into the sea" before, but those were only atmospheric at best. There's no experience as crazy as "we sank the binaural mic underwater to record this." That's genuinely crazy! Completely dominated by the bubbling water sounds, getting my ears cleaned, my earlobes massaged. While actually submerged, thinking about Urashima Taro's old tale and his feelings—that was truly lovely. But Uribo's voice is hard to hear. It's really difficult to make out what she's saying. "Well, of course, it's underwater," you might say, and that may be true, but personally it's a fatal flaw. Whether it was the story about Inoko (her growth wish) or the story about the Japanese rat snake, I could only catch about 60% of it in fragments. There were times I couldn't tell what a whole line was saying at all, and while it made me chuckle a little, it also made me sad. Her verbal tics like "desu naa" and "gozaimasu naa"—things I love about her—were all somewhat blurry too. I understand it was meant as an experimental work. A fresh experience is important, of course. That's true, but more than that, I just wanted to talk with Uri more...
I'm a regular overseas listener and fan. Thank you for always coming up with new ideas and actively putting them into practice. Now, as for my thoughts on the underwater ear cleaning and the various play styles, in conclusion, personally I think I prefer the normal version. The underwater ASMR was strangely soothing, but somehow it became harder to make out what was being said. Also, even though Inoko-chan finally had a lot of lines this time, they ended up being quite hard to hear, which is a pretty disappointing point. That's the part I'd criticize. Next, the good points. It's simpler, but during the "gentle biting" part, when she said "go in deeper" and pushed her tongue deep into my ear, it was absolutely amazing! I'd love for this kind of flow, where you can feel the sound of her tongue like in that "gentle biting" part, to continue, not just limited to R18 works. Lastly, just to leave a bit of hope/expectation here—after listening to this work, I find myself wondering if there might be a possibility of an adult-oriented Inoko-chan work in the future...
This is a main-series episode after quite a while, so it's a shame—though it can't be helped—that Inoko-san's voice is hard to make out. Michikusa-ya is a long-running series, and this is already the fourth work featuring Inoko-san. The attitude of continually experimenting is admirable, and honestly, as pure sound it feels quite pleasant and soothing, but for someone who loves the character herself, whom I've grown attached to over a long time, it's a bit of a mixed blessing. That said, even just the part up until the underwater ear cleaning was enough to enjoy her distinctive way of speaking and her character, so overall my impression was really just "it can't be helped, but it's a shame."
うりちゃん、セクシー路線も行けるんだなあ…… いやらしい感じは全くなく、いつものうりちゃんなのにどきどきしちゃう ASMRとして音を楽しむなら、文句なしのとても気持ちのいい作品 聴こえ方の相性も含めて過去最高レベルかもしれない 大好きな音なので今後もこの音は続けてほしい ただ、うりちゃんの声はどうしても聴こえにくい場面がある 聴こえにくいのが正しい状況なので音としてはいいのだが 声を求めると不満が残るかもしれない 実験的とのことで、まだ研究中なのかも?
全部で2時間半ちょっとの音声作品。 全部で4本立て。声優さん4名。 これで定価1000円もしないのでコスパ良好。 ゆったり落ち着いた、ノスタルジックな雰囲気はこのシリーズ通しての良さ。 1本目のご挨拶とお点前は、これから始まる作品の流れが紹介されていた。 作品紹介だけで1パートとして成り立ってしまうあたり、クオリティの高さというか、構成の上手さというか、そういったものを感じた。 2本目のひまな時間は、効果音のみ(虫の音など)で声は無し。 それでもずっと聴いていたいというか、リピートして聴きたいというか、そういった心地よさがあった。 このパートも、これだけで1パートとして成り立ってしまうあたり、クオリティの高さというか、構成の上手さとを感じた。 3本目の洗い場のさんすけさん。は、背中洗いや洗髪など、お風呂場でのシチュエーション。 全年齢対象の健全な作品ながらも、少しだけ色気の漂う台詞やシチュエーションもあった。 効果音と台詞の間の取り方も良くて、このシリーズ通しての良さを踏襲していると思った。 4本目の湯船の中の耳掃除は、耳かきと昔話。 風呂上がりに耳かきは良く行われている。 だが、水中(湯船の中)で耳かきとかどうなんだ?と思ったけれども、細かいことはあまり気にならなかった。 昔話も最後を占めるのによい感じだった。 全体を通じて、少し声が小さくて聞き取りづらい台詞とかも中にはあったけれども、そんなことは気にならないくらい作品の持つ雰囲気が良かった。 オススメ!
今の時期にぴったりの涼感を得られる桃色CODEさんの新作です。 4パートに分かれていて、カエルや虫の声を聴きながらお抹茶で一服する癒しの雰囲気たっぷりのトラック。 そして環境音のみ(時折遠くで人の声がする)のトラック。 これは作業用と銘打たれていますが、作業中に聴くと心地良くて眠ってしまいそうですね。寝る前に聴くといいかも。 そして3パート目ではいのこちゃんがお風呂で背中を流してくれます。 高性能の機材で音質も抜群。臨場感溢れる施術を体験できます。 そして今作の注目トラックの水中耳かき。 ダミヘを水中に入れての収録という事でかなり思い切ったことをされてます。 胎内音を再現した作品を聴いたことがあるのですが、それに近い気がしました。 水中耳かきの最中は当然いのこちゃんの声が聞きとりにくいのですが、 これも必要な演出だと割り切れます。 実験的、意欲的な作品で桃色CODEさんの進化が止まりません。
いのこさんの新作。今回は水中でのシチュが多めとなっております。 お風呂で女の子と2人っきりという、ドキドキなシチュでもどこかのほほんとした空気が漂う、いのこさんの魅力は相変わらず。 その上で今作のメインになる、水の中での音がこごもる感じ。 新鮮で心地いいのは元より、眠気でうとうととしている時のような気持ち良さがあり非常に良きかな…。 しかし、水音が大きすぎていのこさんの声が聞き取りにくい場面があったのは気になりました。 とは言えそれはそれで心地よいし水中の臨場感があって最高なのでは?とも思うので一概に悪くも感じず、しかし可愛い声もちゃんと聞きたいという思いも有り。…うーむ。 なんにしても「少し実験的な内容」とあるとおり普段とは違うものを目指した作品で、個人的にはこういうのはどんどんやっていってほしいと思います。 シリーズ作品だとどうしてもマンネリ感は出てしまうので、新鮮さは大事。 あとイメージ絵があんまりに見ないポーズ(水中にぷかぷかで仰向け)で好みです。
たくさんシリーズが出てる中で初めて聴いた作品がこちらの作品なのですがめっちゃ良いです。 まずいのこちゃんが可愛いんですね。次にいのこちゃんが可愛いんです。めちゃくちゃ癒されます。水中の感じも実際に水中で揺らいでるような心地よさで、声は少し遠く聴こえるけどそれが逆にゆっくりリラックス出来ました。 ASMRはよく聞くのですが水中と言う新しいジャンルが想像以上に良かったです。
道草屋で今だに推しを決められない病。 どの回もそのキャラの事がもっと好きになる。今作はいのこさんです! 不思議な敬語を使ういのこさんの十八番はやっぱりお風呂な気がします。お耳をぶくぶくと沈めたり・・・とにかくお耳が気持ち良くなっちゃいます。耳が水に浸かる音が大好きなので今作たくさんあって癒されました。 水中耳かきは意識がぼーっとして遠のいて行く感じ、すごく良かったです。水中ですから声が聞き取りずらいというか、何言ってるのか分からない状態ですが、私的にはむしろ好みでした。逆に眠りを誘うというか、水中なのにガッツリ声が聞こえる方がなんか悶々としちゃうし。 そして、いのこさんの声が高くないから眠りを妨げないのも良いよね。あとは昔話の朗読も落ち着きます。眠りのお供におすすめです!
癒しと温もりが欲しい時に聴きたいのが道草屋シリーズ。 うりぼうこと、いのこちゃんメイン回は実は結構久しぶりと他のレビューで見て愕然としました。確かに、この作品の一つ前のいのこちゃんメイン回は結構前でした。 実験的とサークル様が言っていて、他の方のレビューを見ても実験的とかASMRとしては文句無しだけど台詞が聴き取り辛い所があって少し残念というコメントを見まして、はてどういう事かと少し不安もありました。 確かに聴いてみると音声作品で、水中をイメージした作品は数ありますが水に耳を浸した状態の音のこもりを再現した状態でボイスドラマを聴くと言うのはかなり実験的。そして確かに聴き辛いw 面白い感覚ですが、うりぼうちゃんのお話を聴きたい層にとっては確かに少し不満があるかもしれないですね。
