Seeing My Beloved Girlfriend Once More — This Time, I Won't Let Her Go (Ear Cleaning, Cooking Sounds & Sleeping Together)

This is a story of spending sweet moments with 『Fuyu Ii-ito』, the 【beloved girlfriend】 voiced by Ishimi Manaka. Thank you all very much for coming. Point! 《Pick up》 ☆Character☆ 『Fuyu』: An excellent student and well-behaved university student. She's said to be popular for her well-groomed looks, gentle demeanor, and caring personality. She apparently loves games and plays them in secret. She also seems to have a cute, sore-loser side to her? ☆Tips☆ A keyword to keep in mind is "At the promise made at the birthday party." ☆Event☆ ◎ From the very start, it's the kind of work that makes you think, "Oh, this is dangerous, this is definitely going to be moving!" Every single word between you and her carries precious feelings. Do not look away for a second. ◇ The more time you spend with her, the more you don't want to be apart, and you end up growing dependent on her. Feelings well up one after another — wanting to sacrifice everything else, not wanting to believe it's fake, wishing it were real. ◯ If you were to compare her to a flower, it would be cherry blossoms (?). You don't need to understand the meaning before listening — by the end, you're sure to understand it. Please, do go on to the main story! To the next!

I think a lot of voice works, within their few-hour runtime, are made to meet the demand for instant healing or something more sensual. Accordingly, the scenarios tend to be mostly clear-cut happy endings, and I think that's perfectly valid in its own right. This work, on the other hand, is a "merry bad end" — an ending that may be happy for the characters within the story, but leaves the listener with a different interpretation. I think opinions will be divided on this, but after listening, I felt like I'd played a high-quality scenario game, and that was really great. In a situation like this one, I think many heroines would ultimately choose to send the protagonist off while thinking of his future. But the choice Fuyu-chan made was to live together forever in an eternal world... I never expected to hear such a heavy scenario in a voice work, so I was very surprised. Ishimi Manaka's performance as Fuyu-chan was wonderful, and in the scene where she pours out her feelings, something welled up inside me. With Spica's works, an early-purchase bonus includes a looping track of sleeping breaths and heartbeat sounds. After listening to the main story, it hits you emotionally — "Ah, this must be the sound the protagonist hears while living in that eternal world, being held by Fuyu-chan..." I've never been admired by someone the way the protagonist in the story is, but if a cute underclassman like Fuyu-chan adored me that much, honestly, I might want to live forever in a world with just the two of us too. In fiction, living on in such a painless, illusion-like world is often portrayed as something wrong to do, but if I have to keep living in today's world, I think I'd rather spend my time being held by someone who adores me until the world itself collapses.

I made a big mistake when I listened to this work... I thought it was just a normal all-ages voice work, so I started listening to it in bed before going to sleep... Of course, I've had plenty of experience before with getting pulled deeper and deeper into a work with a good scenario, listening until the very end, staying up late, and not getting enough sleep. But this work was on a whole different level — my mind and body became completely wide awake in order to listen properly, and especially during the climax, my emotions ran so high that by the time I was basking in the afterglow, it had gotten ridiculously late, and I ended up heading to work the next day utterly sleep-deprived... Of course, it was worth it!! But if you're planning to listen to this work from now on, I strongly recommend doing so on a day when you're in good condition and have plenty of time to spare, so you can enjoy it at ease!! The feeling is something like the emotion and satisfaction you get from watching a really well-made, moving film. There are many works out there specialized in emptying your mind and letting you relax, but I hope more works like this circle's — with its unique phrasing and expressions, specialized in letting you savor the scenario deeply — continue to appear in the future. Of course, it's not just the scenario — the voice actress's performance, the ambient sounds, the ear-cleaning sounds, and so on are all wonderful too, making it a masterpiece as an ASMR work as well! I'm convinced that someday, conversations like "I watched the new Ghibli movie yesterday and it moved me to tears~" will happen everywhere, but about "I listened to Spica's new release yesterday and cried my eyes out~" instead!!
