Bashful Childhood Friend: Satoyama - Ear Cleaning Weather - Shy Mahiro's Eager Devotion

Even though I started listening not long after release, I was so immersed in this fluffy, sweet, gentle world that morning arrived before I knew it. So this is what they mean by "time melting away." Inside Mahiro-chan's voice—Inoue Honoka's voice—my own consciousness and senses just melted and mixed in completely. It was ASMR that felt like magic... The free talk was so wonderful I almost thought of it as a second main story, and my facial muscles stayed loosened the whole time! You get instantly overflowing with happiness, so if you listen in public, be warned—you'll be grinning uncontrollably!

Even I, who's always been a lurker when it comes to ASMR reviews, felt compelled to write a review for this one. I'll keep the content vague to avoid spoilers, but first, the ambient sound—it really amplifies the sense of immersion and is incredibly satisfying. And the realism of the binaural audio is, I think, the biggest factor that elevates this story. Combined with Inoue Honoka's voice, it feels almost too cheap to be buying this for around 1000 yen. You should definitely buy this voice work too.

The heroine of this work, Mahiro, is your (called "Onii-chan") younger childhood friend. You left your hometown for college life and hadn't seen Mahiro for about half a year, but you're returning home for a long holiday. Since Mahiro has always adored her Onii-chan, she makes up for lost time by devoting herself to you and being extra clingy. In the "Onii-chan Care Plan" ear cleaning track, she carefully cleans your right ear then your left while you rest your head on her lap—her whispers and breath were both ticklish and comforting. Tracks 3 and 4 are my favorites and have a strong sleep-inducing effect. The Track 7 plan also brings peace of mind through casual conversation with Mahiro and lying down together. Her feelings for Onii-chan as a lover overflow, warming your heart. The sound effects that evoke an autumn atmosphere added to the immersion. CV Inoue Honoka's voice is precious.

With Inoue-san's soft voice and acting, even though the care she gives goes a bit out of control at times, by the time I reached the final track, I found myself wanting to say "That's amazing, you did well" to her for coming up with a plan on her own and mustering the courage to convey her feelings. Also, it's unfair how Mahiro-chan sometimes catches you off guard! The ambient sound and the way the sound echoed felt very realistic, and I could deeply feel that this was a story set in autumn. Funya.

The heroine Mahiro hasn't been able to see the protagonist for half a year since he left home for college. Hearing that he'll be returning home for a long holiday, she activates the "Onii-chan Care Plan" and actively conveys the feelings she's built up during their time apart through various situations. Every track was wonderful, but personally, the carefully done left-right separated ear cleaning track and the bathroom scene were especially good. The ear cleaning is full of breaths and whispers, giving an excellent healing effect while she carefully cleans your ears, and the conversation along the way, where she honestly expresses her feelings as if to make up for the time you couldn't see each other, was truly adorable. For the bathing scene, in addition to the pleasant sounds of washing your body and hair, Mahiro's reactions upon finding your sensitive spots were extremely cute. Inoue Honoka's calm, gentle voice was truly wonderful, and her verbal tic "funya" that appears in each scene is so cute it made me smile every time. Also, the ambient sounds and situation-related sounds in each scene were very carefully crafted, making this a truly excellent work.

I bought this for the first time because I like Inoue Honoka. Besides the main story, there are short tracks with sweet situations that make you feel happy. In the main story, I couldn't stop my heart fluttering at the pure Mahiro-chan. In addition to Inoue Honoka's cute voice, there are tracks with extremely close distance, letting you spend the best time. The free talk is also included, making this a fully satisfying work that I highly recommend!

This is the 5th work I've purchased from Ancrea Sound. Their previous works have all been satisfying, but when this one was announced with Inoue Honoka as the voice actress, I was really looking forward to it. When I first saw the title, I thought, "A shy, fidgety childhood friend who's also pushy in her devotion??" but after actually listening to the main story, it made sense. The story and structure were good, but what's most wonderful is that they cast Inoue Honoka, whose voice fits the character Mahiro-chan more perfectly than anyone could ask for. Her enveloping, soft voice and acting kept me feeling healed the entire time. Also, the ambient sounds were realistic, which further enhanced the sense of immersion in the work. The breaths and ear-blowing during the ear cleaning scene were wonderful. Also, her "funya~" is way too cute! I want a looped audio clip of it. The free talk and the lovey-dovey voice tracks were also amazing! This work had almost everything I look for in ASMR.

I got to know Inoue Honoka through a certain anime, and since I happened to be really into ASMR at the time, I ended up finding this work. I decided to buy it right after checking it out. I listened to it right away, and both the voice and the situation were amazing. First of all, the way Mahiro-chan devotes herself to you is way too cute. And being able to experience that right next to your ear in Inoue-san's voice meant my ears were healed the entire time. It made me wish I had a childhood friend like her. Of course, if you like Inoue Honoka, but also if you like situations where someone clumsy but earnest devotes themselves to you, I definitely recommend buying this!

Fortunately, I've had many chances to listen to Inoue Honoka's ASMR recently, and the relationship of childhood friends—it might be an exaggeration to call it every man's dream worldwide, but it's truly a relationship I wanted to experience. With Inoue Honoka's voice making it even better, I was of course really looking forward to this one too. As a childhood friend who calls the protagonist "Onii-chan," even though it's a reunion after half a year, I felt more distance than that at first, and I started to think that might be the trigger for her "pushing forward"—the care plan, the stable pleasantness of the ear cleaning, I love the ear-blowing. The part where she does "ahh~" for you to eat, and the line she says happily about liking watching you eat deliciously, gave me a sense of healing. I especially loved the acting in the final Track 7—the whispers, of course, combined with the scenario, gave the best acting. I felt like I was experiencing a girl in love, and my ears were happy. The "funya" Mahiro says when she's happy is truly adorable and worth paying attention to! The ambient sound was also the most detailed and wonderful I've heard in any ASMR so far. Thank you so much!

Since it's a work by Ancrea Sound, and the heroine's voice is by Inoue Honoka, I was sure it would be a great work, so I bought it—and it didn't betray my expectations at all, which made me overjoyed. Inoue Honoka's acting and voice perfectly matched the heroine's usually reserved yet passionate inner feelings toward the protagonist, and the scenario and ambient sound were also carefully crafted, giving a real sense of dedication to detail.
