Michikusaya - Ine: Mucky Rice Field & Gentle Ear Cleaning [English & Chinese Ver.]

A subtitled audio work.

[Daytime] -------- Soil and Nap --------
In the evening, you play with two hostesses at a shrine.
You feed fish, drink ramune, and dig holes.
Finally, you all take a nap together.

* Nostalgic Memories and Smells
The human nose is capable of picking out the scent it's searching for.
And so smelling the scents of our childhood can bring back vivid flashbacks.
The proof is in the pudding!

The scope we used to use for digging.
The clanging of metal and small rocks, and dirt being scooped back into place on the ground.
The sound of plucking glass.
The pop of ramune in our mouths, and the rolling ball inside the bottle.

If you listen in with a window cracked open to let in the breeze,
you might suddenly feel a wave of nostalgia wash over...

[Evening] -------- Muddy Rice Field --------
On the way back from the shrine, you and two others whistle with grass
while watching the sunset reflected on the rice field.

*The mucky rice field*
In the wet rice fields, you can hear the sucking sound of the mud as your feet sink inside.
As the day starts to fade, the cries of frogs start and stop.

* Ideal for spare time when you feel sleepy, but don't wish to sleep.

[Night] ------ Snoozy Ear Cleaning ------
You and one of the two attendants relax on a futon
and she cleans your ears slowly and listlessly.

*Gentle ear cleaning for falling asleep*
Fewer spoken lines, and gentle breathing.
If the guest turns over, they won't be forced back into position.
With just a small hint of playful ear biting.
Outside, one can hear the chirping of frogs.
The conversation is light, and drowsy, helping you drift off to a comforting rest yourself.

*Like your ears are plugged!*
The earpick and cotton swaps have a certain rigid feel to them this time,
so it may feel as though your ears are plugged.
