I was a closet wota up until they mailed me their blue envelope that said “Morning Musume Concert Tour, 1st floor, 2nd row, no. XX” or whatever. It’s written right there in big, bold letters!
Members of my family saw it and went like “so you like this kind of thing, huh” while grinning at me. I managed to come up with a lie about making money by selling the tickets in auctions, but still, I now want to die…

I once got like six envelopes of tickets to Berryz concerts in one go, and the mailman who handed them to me asked “are you going to all of these?” I went “Huh? You bet I am!” (laughs)

It’s pure incompetency on their part for not showing at least that much consideration. Sex shops wouldn’t slip up like that with their packages.

When you order erotic games, it’s standard procedure for their packages to just say something like “PC parts.”

Even though they can see everything from the artist name to the full concert tour title, for some reason my parents nevertheless think I’m an AKB fan. People sure are prisoners to their own prejudices.

I guess it must be so the part-timers working at the office don’t make any mistakes. Still, I wish they’d at least write it in code. “MM 1F22-33” or something.

The other fan club I’m in, it only has the date, venue and number of tickets. It does, however, say “GLAY Official Fan Club” on the envelope.

Priority tickets from Perfume’s fan club. It says “Perfume Official Fan Club P.T.A.” in a rather large font on the other side.

Berryz Koubou, °C-ute, S/mileage, Juice=Juice… all of them group names that don’t really say anything to the average Joe on first glance. Did they name them that way with this in mind?

That fateful day when I confronted the mailman to receive my envelope with “Nyoki Nyoki Champion” written on it.

In other news, a leaked memo from Up-Front’s marketing department indicates that postal workers are their current focus demographic.

Hahaha the Precure envelope! That one’s more understandable since it’s an anime aimed at young girls, but you’d think they’d know their main fanbase by now.
“Henkka: When the mailman delivers me my H!P tickets, I like to open the door completely naked and smelling like three-day-old booze. You know, just to prove my manliness.”
I’ll have to try that when I receive my “Morning Musume Makino Maria 14th birthday event” ticket.
