Sleep Endurance ASMR: Tea, Whispers, Nail Care & Ear Cleaning (Sound-Only Tracks Included)

This work features a sweet time spent with 'Her,' voiced by Ayaka Ikasaki, in [Tea and Whispers. Nail Care and Ear Cleaning]. Prologue! An ordinary day... The protagonist arrives at a certain shop. "Welcome. What will you have today?" "You're welcome to enjoy the course menu items in order, or you can enjoy your favorite menu item over and over again." "Taking a moment to think about which sounds you'd like to enjoy is lovely too, isn't it?" So she says, and thus begins a sweet, soothing time with 'Her'... Point! As for the situations included, you can experience massage, ear blowing, ear cleaning on a lap pillow (with a bonten fluff tool), and many other situations as well! Also, for this work, rather than the usual light, silky sound of whisking thin matcha, we've recorded the sound of preparing thick tea (koicha). This is a sound you can rarely hear unless you've studied tea ceremony, so satisfaction is guaranteed ♪ Above, we've given just a brief and light explanation of a small part of the content. 'She' is waiting for you ♪

I've listened to several of Shirokuma no Yome-san's works before, and I'm also a regular on a certain video site, so I purchased this with confidence. I bought it for the ear cleaning, but the nail clipping really got me. There may be others out there, but this was the first time I've heard nail care content. The clicking sound was so pleasant that, for this particular work, I've been replaying just the nail clipping part over and over like crazy. The total playtime is very long, and it's great to have around for relaxation or falling asleep. Since I prefer just the voice and sound effects over ambient environmental sounds, I actually preferred the bonus ASMR track over the main content. Thank you very much.

This is the second installment following "~Tea and Whispers. Ear Healing and Massage~" released in June 2022. That said, the content isn't a direct sequel, so no worries there. As the title suggests, "tea" is once again one of the themes this time, but while the previous work featured "usucha" (thin tea), this one focuses on "koicha" (thick tea). In addition to the standard ear cleaning, this installment in particular felt like it had a real dedication to the nail care and hand care segments. Listening to it again, what strikes me as truly wonderful is the sense of immersion. From the moment you start listening, you feel as though you've been invited into a Japanese-style room tucked away in some rural corner, thanks to the ambient sound. It's astonishingly realistic, to the point where you can practically picture the scenery. Within that setting, hearing Ikasaki-san, who practices tea ceremony herself, prepare koicha along with the sounds of the tea utensils overlapping was incredibly soothing and irresistible. Those familiar with tea ceremony will probably enjoy it even more. The menu is also well thought out, structured so that it gradually moves upward through the body—from hand care, to ear cleaning, to head massage. In the hand care section, you can hear everything from full hand care to the precious sound of nails being clipped and filed, making it a must-listen. In the bonus ASMR too, she talks about her dedication to this part, and her description of her neatly trimmed nails felt so very like her that it made me laugh. Every track has strong sleep-inducing elements, but after nearly two hours of hand care and ear cleaning, the head massage that follows has an especially high relaxing effect—I think that's where the drowsiness hit hardest. (On my first listen, I drifted off peacefully during track 2...) There are sound-only menu options too, but personally, I prefer the ones with Ikasaki-san's voice. Of course I love her voice, but what I really love is that she includes not just the dialogue but even the sound of her breathing during the nail care and ear cleaning. Being able to sense that someone who's healing you is right there close by... I think that's really wonderful.
