Reminiscence: Seeing My First Love Onee-san Once Again

Thank you for finding this review! I'd like to share my thoughts on this work and go over some points to keep in mind before purchasing, so please give this a read beforehand if you don't mind. First, let me mention two things I really liked about this work. The first is the sound effects. You can choose whether to have SE or not, but I'd say it's worth listening to at least once with SE on. The quality of the sound is so good that you can really tell how much care went into the SE, and since time passes within the story, the insect sounds and ambient noise change accordingly. Even if you listen to the tracks in random order, you can clearly tell what time of day it is. Because of this, it's very easy to picture the scenery, and the sense of immersion is amazing. The second point is Reina Ueda's performance as the voice actress. I'll avoid going into detail since it would spoil the main story, but Konatsu-chan is written to be quite close in distance, intentionally. That closeness is expressed so well through her acting that it matches the Konatsu-chan of the scenario perfectly, without any sense of incongruity — it felt like Konatsu-chan was truly there. I felt this also contributed a lot to the immersive feeling of this work. Finally, let me go over some points to be careful of before purchasing. You might not notice it much just from the sample, but once you listen through the main story, it has quite a strong flavor of a voice drama / drama CD. If you're someone who wants pure ASMR in Reina Ueda's voice, or who's looking for that kind of work specifically, you might find this different from what you expected. I felt this was something to be a little careful about. I ended on a somewhat negative note, but the creators' attention to detail and Reina Ueda's performance make this a truly wonderful work. I don't think you'll regret buying it, so if you're interested, please consider giving it a try.

This is a story about spending a sweet time together with 'Konatsu Yuzuki,' the [older girl of your first love], voiced by Reina Ueda. Prologue! One ordinary day, 'Konatsu'... "Is there someone you like?" asks the older girl to the protagonist. When he answers that there is someone he's interested in, she becomes very curious. But the protagonist leaves the scene. Months pass, and the protagonist visits the shrine again, a place full of memories. There, he finds a girl dressed as a shrine maiden! He's so surprised that he just stands there in a daze. 'Miko'... "What's wrong? Ah, you must be wondering why there's a shrine maiden at this abandoned shrine." The town has become desolate, and its residents have moved away; no one visits the shrine anymore, and it has fallen into disrepair. The protagonist, flustered, stands there... Then the shrine maiden says— To the next! What happens from here is something to enjoy after purchasing ♪ Point! 《Pick up》 ☆Introduction☆ 'Konatsu': A 16-year-old high school girl. She gives off the impression of being kind and good at spoiling others. Her hobby is reading. To the protagonist, she's like a little sister figure living nearby. Stage: The shrine (including the abandoned shrine) and the engawa (veranda). An important Tip to keep in mind is "I ended up regretting it." ☆Event☆ A girl who stopped being loved... After her father left, it was just her and her mother. Her mother tried hard to keep up appearances, but the harder she tried, the less she could love her daughter, and eventually she gave up trying altogether, slowly breaking down. At the same time, the light in the girl's eyes seemed on the verge of disappearing, as if they were about to turn completely black. At first, there was a sweet-pain feeling like a first love, but once I learned about her circumstances, partway through I became overwhelmed with the desire to somehow save her. Her unstable side is also part of her charm — I understood she's the type of girl who won't be easy to deal with, but even so, I wanted to save her! My feelings naturally moved in that direction. Until I find the lost girl and put her at ease, I won't let her become a fallen Konatsu!

I drifted into this ASMR after having my heart stolen by the performance of Re〇. It was so good. Wonderful. Thank you for being born. I'm gonna cry, old man that I am. This is a work I want everyone who hasn't been able to be pampered in a long time to listen to. With regret and longing for an experience I wish I could have had, this 20-something old geezer with a youth complex cried his eyes out. Ah, I want to hug her, I want to feel her warmth — it was the kind of work that fills that loneliness while amplifying it at the same time. Thank you very much.
