I was asked how bad the bromide addiction is so I have to show this in response. Each of these is an A6 folder with plastic sleeves as inserts for the collection. The top one is the Gekidan Shining bromides (it is overfull at this stage and if I collect any more, I'm going to have to split it up somehow.) The cyan one is for the DMMd bromides, and the purple one is actors, whether candid shots or non-Gekidan roles.

An example:

Gaku Takamoto as Mabu in the Sarazanmai stage play, along with the actor who played Reo (whose name I don't know). The sleeves are double-sided with pockets on the front and back.

Some more samples (I've posted some of these before, descriptions in the images):

So now for the fun part.

Gekidan Shining folder - 158

DMMd - 80

Actors (Allen, Nosuke, Gaku) - 73

for a grand total of 311. So far. This also includes the larger ones that don't fit in the sleeves and are instead kept in the pockets.

And I'm... nowhere near done. I want to get more bromides from Masquerade Mirage and Bloody Shadows. I don't have any from Tenka Muteki or Every Buddy. There's a Ren DMMd one from 2019 that I can't get my hands on. And, of course, Allen keeps being in new things.

It really is a fucking addiction, but as these things go, I think there are probably worse ones.

I made a realization today that the photo my friend sent me from her wedding has about the same dimensions as a size L bromide, so it fits in my album. Do I intend to get a frame for the photo? Yes. Is the photo now in my bromide album for safe keeping until then? Also yes.

I realized I hadn’t updated about my new bromide situation and since I made a big deal of all my decorating with the Wall O’ Bromides, here’s where I’m at now!

So the stack of non-DMMd bromides I had was getting out of control. Mainly because Allen (Kohatsu, Koujaku’s actor) was also in two Gekidan Shining plays, Joker Trap and Pirates of the Frontier, along with special revue shows for the Gekishai universe, and so many bromides came out for those. Also, I started picking up bromides of him as Edgeworth in one of the Phoenix Wright plays; he was Adam in the SK8 plays, so I overindulged there, and of course there are some gorgeous ones that went along with various promo things he did. Then I developed a thing for Ryunosuke Matsumura, who plays Tokiya in Joker Trap and Polaris and is so good and basically he’s my RL Tokiya, and there’s a ton of bromides out for him too. So there was just a huge pile of bromides sitting on my desk that I wasn’t even looking at, and I was afraid of losing track of them or just flat out losing them.

I grabbed these plastic display sheets, which are usually for postcards but work perfectly for this situation, as well as a 6-ring A5 binder. There are spaces on both sides so you can easily arrange whatever you’re displaying in the front and back, and because there’s only four to a page it makes it very convenient to rearrange. Which is a bonus for me as Suruga-ya has become a monthly visit for me. (don’t look at my cart or the 35 bromides in it right now shut up don’t look at me)

Finally, I took down the framed DMMd bromides and arranged them all in here as well. This actually turned out to be fortuitous given I’m going to be packing and moving soon, but also works out because I have extra pages for when the new DMMd bromides start coming in. I’ve already bought a couple because Raph is a bad influence.

Anyway this is my setup now and it’s a lot more convenient and easy to deal with. I love having everything in one place and knowing where it all is, and looking through it whenever I feel like.
