[ASMR] Your Private Tutor ~Intimate Time with Her Student~ [CV: Chika Anzai]

Compared to other works, there's less parroting back of lines, which I felt really let Chika Anzai's performance shine even more. As the conversations progressed, the distance between them gradually deepened, and that razor's-edge feeling of whether they would cross the line beyond a tutor-student relationship or not was just perfect. The final hand-holding scene, combined with the dialogue, left me feeling truly happy. The sleeping-breath track is also incredibly soothing to listen to at bedtime, and it really helps me sleep well. This was such a wonderful work.

The moment they meet, she sighs at him right away — a start that's the complete opposite of a warm welcome. She's unhappy with her mother for hiring a tutor (you) instead of properly addressing her own issues, so at first she's distant and prickly toward you too... but as they spend time together, she opens up, grows fond of you, and the process of that turning into love was wonderful. With each track, the seasons progress, and you can really picture how the time and feelings the two of them have shared build up together. True to the label's concept, the natural flow and the pacing between lines made it very easy to listen to. The overall calm tone of voice was so soothing. Needless to say, Anzai-san's performance, where you can feel the emotion through her voice and breathing, was wonderful. ◆Track 3 Thanks to a mischievous bit of summer weather, the two of them... ◆Track 4 From their own private front-row seat, they watch a classic summer sight together They also make a certain promise, spending special time together, just the two of them *The last line is just unfair (in a good way) ◆Track 5 She soothes you when you're worn out from exhaustion Good night... ◆Track 6 On Christmas Eve, by coincidence, after each of them helps a friend with love advice, the two run into each other in town and end up in the park... reminiscing about the time they've spent together... ◆Track 7 In spring, in the teacher's room for the first time... This is a work I know I'll want to listen to again and again! Chika Anzai and everyone involved in production, thank you for such a wonderful work!

I bought this because I like Chika Anzai. At first Yumi is prickly and standoffish, but as she spends time together with you, watching her gradually melt and become sweeter is just too adorable. In tracks 3 and 4, you can enjoy sounds perfectly suited to this time of year, like cicadas, the babbling of a river, and a fireworks festival. This summer, when it's so hot that even going outside feels like a chore, use these tracks to feel summer while staying somewhere cool! There's also a bonus track that's just her sleeping breaths, so if you listen to that when you go to bed, you're guaranteed a peaceful sleep! What really made me think "Anzai-san is amazing" was how skillfully she expresses these subtle sounds that can't really be put into words — not even quite "voice" — like the sound right after a sneeze or the little noises mixed in with her sleeping breaths. It's so natural it barely feels like acting. There are moments where you can just barely hear the position of her voice shift slightly, as if you can picture Yumi subtly changing her posture, giving you a real sense of presence, like she's truly right there beside you. Of course Anzai-san's acting is natural and skillful, but I imagine she must also be very skilled with how she uses the microphone. (I'm no expert, so I don't know the details, though.) Personally, the ending made my heart ache so much I ended up biting my lip. That hurt. This is a work you can enjoy not just for the voice and sounds, but also thoroughly as a story, so I really want a lot of people to listen to it!!!
