getting nuis and nesos from japan

from a guy that looks at listings as a hobby and owns a few nuis

--

this post is mostly about project sekai since i see alot about how people don't really know much about merch from japan and looking at this stuff is kinda my hobby lol

getting stuff from japan is pretty good since its wayy cheaper, especially right now since yen to usd is really low rn (unsure about other countries currency sorry) usually prsk stuff is scalped to the point where its better to get it from japan even with the proxy fee lmao (the price for wanting merch for something popular)

getting merch from japan is actually really easy through proxy services, which will order things for you in japan and then ship them to you in the country you reside. i use mercari (a secondhand market) through buyee but there are other proxy services too, you should probably do some digging to find out which ones best for shipping to your country and area. i like buyee but it only takes foreign paypals so that can be a downside

if you want to find merch for a specific character i reccomend looking up how the chracters name is spelled in kanji/however its spelled in game (the spellings are usually on the wiki in the character info panel, you can also get them in game but its easier to copy paste) you can look it up in english but you might get prices aimed at american audiences and machine translation is famously terrible with names. if youre looking for merch from a less popular thing then you can look up the thing's name but thingsll usually be listed under character names

once you have the name you can put ぬい (nui, plush) or ねそべり(nesoberi, those laying down ones.) there are probably other kinds but these are the ones i look into lol

if you want fast results you can go to the recommended tab in the top right but if you have the time i reccomend sorting by lowest price and digging through untill you find what you want, whichll probably give you the best price

for project sekai specifically if you want cheap plushes be a fan of leoni, momojan, or anhane lol popular character merch is anywhere from 1.5x to 3x more expensive than unpopular characters. even so itll be less expensive than english ebay lol. under the cut i have the usual pricing ive seen for prsk plushes but it all depends since mercari is basically japanese ebay, so this is only for old merch and crane game prizes. if you want more recent merch im sure theres people who buy lots and resell, i dont have any reccomendations for project sekai but i know @/enstarsgoods on twitter does this for enstars

(rant i did on this post's tags about nui pricing) [the chibi eye nuis r anywhere from 600¥ ($4) to 2000¥ ($14) depending on if its a guy/niigo or not (lmao) and nesos get up to 7000¥ ($45) (for guys) (i saw some of the girl ones listed around 4000¥ [$26]) and nesos arent listed (as) often. idk anything about the dot eye nuis and nuigarumis since i dont like how they look (lol)

keep in mind that these r resales so theyre a bit more expensive than if u just ordered one when they were in stock like nesos r originally only ¥2750 ($18) but r scalped to hell especially on english ebay]

on top of the price for the goods youll buy you also have to pay japan shipping (usually this is included but sometimes it isnt, it is on every listing if this is the case or not as well as the price) as well as a conversion fee per item which isnt much (i got away with 900¥ ($6) in total for 5 items) and shipping from japan to your country (for me it was ¥2300 [15] but i live in a very easy place to ship to so it may cost more for you) this is about the same as ebay shipping cost wise (for me at least)

--

i dont really know what people do with their project sekai nuis (except blend?? burn?? milk copypasta irl..) but with enstars people usually put cute clips in their hair and blush them which is super cute. people also make nui costumes that you can buy. you can search ぬい服 (nui clothes) and usually put the type of nui you have's origin/size (since they can be different demensions) people don't make them for project sekai nuis but im sure there are outfits available in that size/patterns around somewhere

the dialogue is kinda wonky so ignore that but have some more au content yippee

transcript of the text below

rinne ( <- broke into Shu's workroom): heeey shu-kun~!

shu (<- hasn't slept in days): Amagi.

r: I was wonderin', why's there just... an axe on the uh, wall there? And why is "Do not touch" written under it?

s: It's for everyone's sake. Don't touch it.

r: What?

s: If you want to leave this room in one piece, stop asking questions, Amagi.

r: Haha, funny joke Shu-kun. I'm just gonna...

s: Amagi.

mademoiselle in the bg: (<- knows Shu doesn't want Rinne there)

r: what.

s: You don't want to upset the lady.

r: ??????

r: OH FUC-

the axe is mado's. hell hath no fury like a woman with an axe or something

ah yes... kohakana.... my fixation that wont leave my brain....

[mihai-florescu]

Well i dont think things of personal taste like music can really be objective but im a human so i love contradictions. So ill say: i think objectively valkyrie have the best music in enstars. However, subjectively, im such a knightshead. On an emotional level they just make me happy to listen to. Crazyb too. The bunnies (dont want this to end up in their search tag) have songs that i just really do not fuck with though. But i know it's subjective so it doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things it's such a non issue...

Some characters (Sora is the one that comes to mind) being referred to as aliens im pretty sure is just a metaphor for being neurodivergent/specifically autistic. You do have Leo who said he learned his signature phrase from aliens, but it turns out it was a character from Ensemble Girls that, to my knowledge, is only really into astronomy. But i have, like, next to no knowledge about engirls. I do know it ends in a timeloop tho.

The cannibalism... yeah, well, there's this plotline that involves a cult. The origins of the Shinkai cult involved a meteor that fell and made people sick. The way they got rid of the illness was, well, you can see below

There's another mention of cannibalism in Niki's story, his father is a disgraced chef who had to step down and leave the country because of a meat scandal. It's never outright said it was human meat though, more implied afaik? I do remember Niki's mom told him that eating humans is the one thing he shouldn't do tho.

I at least want to know this. Are the aliens and the cannibalism an actual thing in enstars?

I'm very much normal about izumi so YEAH HIS SOLO

*vibrates at a frequency that could shatter glass* anon i dont think you know what you just unleashed

so!! so. izumi has one of my top three favorite voices and if i should be so fucking bold to say one of the best voices in enstars period. any time he talks i need to take a minute to keep from screaming like a schoolgirl with a crush. his solo sounds like it should be from a fucking 2000s era disney channel show and he somehow makes that work?? i really hope that these songs exist in canon and that the characters had a say in how they turned out bc the implications of this are so funny to me. and his voice! fits soooo well with the song like he knew the sound he was going for and he fucking went for it i do also have another rant about how izumi deserves another solo and how i wish that would sound but like this would get too long

now. *rolls up sleeves* the lyrics. i've already made a rant in the tags post that almost went over the tag limit about this song and how its. so much about him and his character like. from theeee first fucking line of "The only one who can polish and make me shine, Is me – I know that much, obviously". this song is about him. like i know all the solos are about the characters but like. this song is about /him/. and the fact that he still goes on about "im not here to make friends" sir mr izumi sena sir you are literally part of a found family rn. also!! also. the "I know I just get tougher on the things I like and hold dear, but--" line. mr izumi sena sir finish your sentence like his emotional walls are so HIGH mr izumi sena please go to therapy to learn how to healthily process your emotions and take the rest of knights with you i will personally pay for that shit

also bc i locked in on his words in soiree in canary hall about not wanting to do ballet but continuing bc he liked the praise and the line in the song "All my senses are in a sharp relevé for a show that can bring smiles" like girl hahaha dont call me out youre sooo mentally ill hahaha

[eerie-asterisks]

ty for the tag!!! pretty sure ive been tagged a few times but i never actually got around to it..... so here we go now!!!!!

last song: eichis one with one solo apparently!! but since thats not an officially released song just a fanmade mix ill also say niccori survey team theme *:P

currently watching: nothing right now, but theres a lot that ive been wanting to watch for a while (oshi no ko, houseki no kuni, the d4dj and hypmic animes etc etc) so hopefully ill get around to those soon!!

currently reading: ive definitely said this before but im still in the middle of reading heaven officials blessing. i know its been a while i just havent gotten back around to it yet.... i also need to catch up on jshk im quite a bit behind lol

current obsession: oh boy. i dont think i really have to say anything about this you all already know. enstars continues to have me in a chokehold. its been over a year now. thats crazy to think about. i have been more abnormal about yuzuru and ra*bits than usual lately though

tagging. uhmm. im not sure i think most people i know have been tagged already...... @hxneylavendxr i dont think ive seen you do this one yet??? and of course anyone else who wants to as well <3

was tagged by @podcastingpineapple for a “9 people I'd like to know better” thing! hi hello!👋 i don’t think im one of the cool people but i like doing these sooooo (runs away and hides and comes back hours later) (ive decided i have nothing to lose so im just gonna give honest answers)

last song: super star spectacle (karen and hikari’s song from the revue starlight movie)(was listening in honor of yuri day)

currently watching: ummm seasonal anime mostly: skip to loafer, gundam witch, oshi no ko. also star wars rebels for amca podcast (but i accidentally got carried away and am a season ahead already)

currently reading: i’m rereading shimanami tasogare/ our dreams at dusk by kamatani yuhki. ive started to do this every summer, it always hits home around this time of the year. i am also reading a number of enstars stories at once (i guess sudden death would be the most noteworthy here). i know neither of these is like reading reading but this is where i’m at!

(i’m adding a secret bonus category of currently listening to just to say that i’ve been enjoying my archive 81 relisten~)

current obsession: uuuuuuu. well it’s enstars. theres just so many characters and so many things to know about them my brain feels like it’s jumping up and down on a trampoline (positive), plus theres the rhythm game aspect. it is so much fun. im having so much fun right now

plus the new palisade episode dropping is my favorite time of the week! and amca every two weeks.

okayyy tagging people… no pressure though!!

Here's a birthday event tip (because I didn't realise this earlier orz)

The amount of birthday gifts you get (7-10) doesn't change based on how much BP you use, so if you want to unlock all of Shu's birthday stuff but you're playing the tour event too, play the birthday event song (Enthralling Theatre) with only 1BP!!
