Do those gifts really make it to the members themselves? I wonder if they don’t just randomly throw them in the trash at the office.

They most likely are delivered. Probably faster to put them in the gift boxes at venues though.

She wears the clothes I sent her. I’ve seen her wearing them on her blog and DVD magazines and stuff.

I once saw “this is a present from a fan” written on one of their blogs. So yeah, they are delivered.

If you put them in the gift box, won’t they get all crushed?

A wristwatch. Later I happened to see another member wearing the same one.

I’ve had the same happen to me. I was too afraid to ask what happened there.

In my case it was a different color at least, so she probably didn’t give hers away.

38: 名無し募集中 2013/11/24(日) 17:32:37.62 0
After sending her loads of clothes, I got told it was okay to just send fan letters. Was I bothering her?

40: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:33:55.15 0
Maybe so, but maybe she just felt sorry. If it’s not her birthday, it’s okay to just stick to cheap accessories and stuff.

42: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:34:14.20 0

If you sent her a lot, it means you must’ve spent a lot of money. I think she was just being considerate.

43: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:35:43.91 0
Brand handkerchiefs and the kind of bathing powders you’d never buy for yourself are a safe bet.

46: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:38:14.75 0
I look out for new products by the brands and makers that my oshi’s shown to like on her blog.

What’s the most expensive thing you’ve sent when you’ve went all out?

48: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:39:19.57 0
>>45
Up to around 50,000 to 80,000 yen (US$350~560). It feels like anything more than that would get returned.

51: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:41:20.27 0
Okay, those are pretty reasonable amounts. There’s all sorts of brands talked about here, but it doesn’t feel like my oshi would care for those kinds of things very much. Well, she does use and wear some brand stuff, but she always tells me I don’t need to send her anything.

53: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:43:39.77 0
You ask your oshi what she wants? Of course she’s going to say she doesn’t need anything.

57: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:48:43.90 0
L’Occitane bathing powders are popular among girls regardless of their taste. Besides, who doesn’t need bathing powder?

59: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:51:14.43 0
L’Occitane makes it easy by having these 10,000 to 20,000 yen gift sets, too. They’re cheap at The Body Shop so sometimes I even buy them for myself.

I thought H!P had an image of presents hardly ever making it to the members, but I guess not.

Okai-san often lines up the presents she gets and uploads pictures of them on her blog.

That’s very kind towards the wota. The people sending her those presents must be glad.

63: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 17:54:36.26 0
It just takes time, but it seems like they do get delivered.

My wota friend actually had a case of his present not being delivered. (laughs) He contacted the staff at the office about his present maybe having been stolen, and it looked like that was indeed the case. It seems like the present did ultimately make it to the member in question, but normally you can never know if your present is actually being stolen on the way there.

70: 名無し募集中 2013/11/24(日) 17:59:45.19 0
It’s gotten harder for them to steal or throw away that stuff nowadays that we have the individual handshake events where we can ask.

73: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 18:03:52.14 0
It seems like my oshi never wears any accessories even if I send her some. Seems like she does wear the T-shirts, though.

76: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 18:07:34.42 0
If it’s through the member herself, it doesn’t matter to me who uses it. It’d be funny if her mom ended up having it.

78: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 19:12:12.52 0
In my letters I always write “if you don’t care for it, it’s fine to give it away to your family or the other members.“

Receiving piercings or clothes from girls feels cleaner somehow.

There’s an urban legend about how presents from girls make it through the check-up faster.

Ages ago mine was delivered on the same day. It was just a fan letter though.

87: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 19:24:57.06 0
I, too, had her directly answering something at a handshake event that I’d asked her in a letter that was I’d only delivered earlier that same day.

88: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 19:27:24.88 0
Presents make it to senior members fast and the check-up is pretty lax, too. I heard the checks for presents to middle high school students are really thorough, though.

I’d think receiving fan letters makes them the happiest. Still, I do send them presents, too. I like picking them out.

Writing fan letters is hard. I’m bad at praising someone.

97: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 20:00:33.37 0
I wrote a fan letter. Really wears out your hand. Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop until I’d gone over 50 pages. (laughs) But it seems like she read through it all and later told me all kinds of things at her individual handshake event.

98: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 20:12:55.51 0
You sometimes see people saying they wrote someone a 10-page letter, but stop and think for second. How is that not gross?

100: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 20:44:00.67 0
I wrote like five pages until I realized how much of a bother it must be to read through it all, so I stopped.

105: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/24(日) 21:35:44.34 i
Receiving accessories from someone they don’t know is definitely nothing if not disgusting. (laughs)

I’ve once had mine delivered to a °C-ute member on the same day of putting it in their present box.

A carton of cigarettes to Kago-chan.

Henkka: That last one reminds me. I’ve been seeing Sanma called all kinds of things after I posted the Fuku-chan thing, but at least you have to give the man credit for being so thoughtful during Kago’s appearance on Sanma no Manma after she took up smoking:
