Shy Neighbor Boy Is Scared Of Thunder [Part 1][M4A][Reverse Comfort][ASMR]

“S-so I was just wondering if maybe…if you didn’t mind…maybe I could…borrow a blanket? For a bit?”
You've seen neither head nor tail of your new neighbor since he first moved in. That is--until the biggest storm in months rolls around. The power goes out. You pour yourself a cup of tea. Chamomile! Then...you hear a knock at the door.
(Hey there! Put some headphones on and listen in the dark with me. I hope it's raining wherever you're at. Rain's so lovely (just like you). Don't worry if it's not though, I've got you!)
---
The windowpanes shake
As the streets fill up with rain.
But with you I'm safe.

“do you think when the power comes back we could- OoOoOo OH FUCK OH” IM CRYINGGG HES ADORABLE

[@annacollins1837]

There's a lot of little things that hit you on a re-listen, like referring to the thunder as "angry" or treating every act of kindness as a transaction. I also really like that romance isn't rushed for this character. It's realistic! It's healthy. We love to see it. They need to recover. ❤️

WHO HURT THIS BOY AND WHY??? WE WILL PROTECT HIM FOR ETERNITY.

[@astralis5351]

this is such a sweet character omg i wanna give him the biggest hug

\(•_•)/ hug! Hehe he was fun to write. Thanks for listening

[@sippinthattea]

HE IS SO PRECIOUS 😭

[@yar1n777]

IKR AAAH

[@RocRolWriter]

I think I have two favorite parts: hearing his voice from the other room while the listener is getting a blanket, and that you decided to record the process of making tea. Really sells the whole "these are people moving around an actual space and doing things" aspect, and I've not found too many other audio-only ASMRs that do that (certainly not this well).

[@bruigi_bree_bree5239]

I swear…your voice is so adorable! And I really hope your channel grows! You’re such a good VA!

[@tanukiaudios]

Fingers crossed hehe, thanks again :)

[@jasonoctober3288]

Who hurt this poor angel?? Aww I am so happy he had someone to hold him during the thunderstorm!!!

[@hailey.elayne]

if anything happens to him i'd literally drown in a pool of my own tears 😭😭 the emotions are very well acted out! i seriously had the urge to hug something because of how this audio made me feel. my little sister doesn't love loud noises so sometimes i have to calm her down in the way this video portrays. very comforting! you've uncovered yet another subscriber!

[@tanukiaudios]

Aw thank you fleur! He lives in my world so I can make sure nothing bad happens to him :) Welcome to channel

[@neanahidden]

This was just so precious and well made and relaxing. It left a lot of interesting secrets still unopened, so maybe we will meet the cookie baker again someday. I love thunder, especially during the summer nights. The pressure building up until the heavy clouds rip apart with thunder and then rain pouring down. It’s also nice as a background noise, so no complaints here. (Green tea with dried strawberries is the best thing.)

[@tanukiaudios]

I think I left it open for a coffee date sequel without even thinking hehe, maybe it’s just meant to be? I like your description, that’s a way with words! And I’ve never thought of dried fruit in my tea that sounds so good omg 😯 Thanks for listening!

[@s15lm.]

While i was listening to this i just kept saying "GIVE THE POOR MAN A HUG DAMN IT" Fr tho, i just want to give him hugs 😭

[@mentallydisturbedllama473]

You're not alone in that. 😭 The audacity to make us want to hug someone fictional so much. Fuaaaaak.

[@night_wcue12]

the small panic and the heavy fast breathing when he spilled the tea made my heart feel heavy, it was so sadd:c

[@harmonium5495]

I love storms so much, it's practically in my blood. My great-grandmother was the first to allow me to play in the rain, my grandmother took my mom out to watch a tornado once, my mom always found the rain relaxing. Idk man, all storms are amazing to me.

[@tanukiaudios]

See? You get it, you get me. A tornado in person might be a little too far for me but as far as the rest, nothing feels more peaceful than a storm 😌 Thanks for listening

[@itsmamm]

That was so sweet, oh my. Did I fall in love? And the outro literally almost made me cry. You are so adorable

[@tanukiaudios]

Awww hehe don’t cry! thank you so much for listening, you’re the sweet one here!!

[@cairocanary7706]

The storm in the back's quite calming and the editing is top notch,I am in love 😭

[@Yukki._.]

I’m so proud of myself- when we went to make him tea I was like imagining the scenario and I fr said “I’m assuming chamomile works?” Just as he asked for chamomile 😂 I don’t even like chamomile tea that much 😃 (This is also the first time I’ve ever listened to The Whole ending of one of these videos, you’re super wholesome)

[@tanukiaudios]

Ah hehe putting the outro on these feels like wrapping it up in a big bow so I’m happy to be the exception! I mean all the words!! Everyone could use a little more chamomile in their life. But even if that’s not your pick, I hope your next cup of tea tastes just a little more lovely

[@Yukki._.]

@@tanukiaudios aww tyyyy

[@Mothersangria]

Ngl that knocking on the door was a little too realistic that scared the shit outta me for a sec 😂

[@asephine9657]

'Please dont hurt me' Oh my stars. My heart clenched hearing that line. On the other hand this video is amazing, you can tell the expressions through the voice. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

The little hi at the beginning was all it took for me to sub. Your voice is adorable and this whole audio is so sweet🥰🥰

[@tanukiaudios]

hi! welcome to the channel

[@LittlePeachASMR]

The return of sweet Tanuki! I want to hug him. I know this is labelled as reverse comfort but omg my heart can’t handle it 😭😭

[@tanukiaudios]

:-: so kind, he’s gonna be okay! Thanks for listening, Yv!!!

[@LittlePeachASMR]

@@tanukiaudios whoops just realised I replied from the wrong account haha but oh I forgot to say I read your haikus every time and I appreciate them 🤭 edit: i actually just finished listening but use the outro to ramble all you like hehe my favourite tea is jasmine

[@tanukiaudios]

Aaa my heart! I’m surprised you read the description hehe, haikus are lovely. I’m making myself some Jasmine now just because you said that >:) and if it isn’t good, I’m suing Edit: -Jasmine is yummy

[@LittlePeachASMR]

​@@tanukiaudios that's understandable...you will be compensated if so (but I doubt it won't be good hope you enjoy). heh honestly the effort put into the haikus A+ and adorable

[@leahgriffith8480]

My poor baby!! I will protect you and watch you grow! Dont worry im not afraid of the storm! But shush cause im scared of the dark too...

[@Mara-ln6pm]

Cool as a cucumber? That’s so cute 😭😭

[@_sycophantic_]

the part where his panic attack gets intense literally froze me. i got so immersed. the angst makes me AKSDKDHDIXHDH. yes, that’s a valid emotion bc i said so :D how are you so good at voice acting?? what experience did u have beforehand? i’m not much of a tea gal but jasmine and earl grey is nice

[@tanukiaudios]

No experience beyond listening to other people's audios! I thought hey that seems kinda fun, lemme try! I'm glad you enjoy all the angst~ I see you like the stronger teas too, hmm. Good picks.

[@lily_omgg]

“AKSDKDHDIXHDH” is the realist emotion ever

[@eli364]

Oh my, you are so good at this! The noises, the character, the expression in your voice...such a fantastic asmr, really! Hope you get more attention

[@tanukiaudios]

Aw thank you

[@nyx_the_alienp8544]

I was dying the whole time. I literally just want to hold him and play with his hair, hold his face and tell them he’s okay. AHHHHHHHHH.

[@_the_good_side_4758]

This character has SO MUCH DEPTH, Amazing script and incredible voice acting You can hear who he is and who he was by every little detail in his voice , everytime he stutters or stops himself from talking , it's honestly one of the best things I've heard in a while

[@soapy-cat]

Me trying to calm him down during the panic attack: I’m not gonna hurt you, it’s ok, look at me. I’m not gonna hurt you. Look at me, just focus on me, deep breaths. Tanuki: *panicking intensifies*

[@artemisdiana7153]

The urge to hug this sweet character 😩🤌. So precious and cute I can't come here 🤗

[@irene6187]

This channel is adorable, your voice is so relaxing and the audio is literally the highest quality. This is, in all meanings of the word, perfect. Thank you for creating this audio. And the best tea I’ve had so far would be a black tea blend infused with vanilla that I managed to find abroad. Specifically that brand

[@tanukiaudios]

Oh I love vanilla in my teas, which brand was it? And thank you so much for listening! I'm always chasing down that high-quality sound~

[@irene6187]

@@tanukiaudios Sorry took me a while to find it lol but it’s from a brand called Bois Cheri from the island of Mauritius. If you have any other good brands please let me know I’m a massive fan of tea.

[@scratchesNcracks]

thank you for the warning! i listen to audios similar to this, but theres no warning everytime and despite it being a comfort audio, i always start with a jumpscare. thank you, and your voice is absolutely adorable

[@tanukiaudios]

I was afraid of that hehe, I’ve also been jumpscared by comfort audios and that’s the last thing I want to do to my listeners. I might actually say it out loud at the start if I do that again though… Thank you for listening and I’m so happy you enjoyed

[@junkoenoshima538]

Omggg- we need a part 2 where we get to go to the cafe with this guy- also, you’re such a good VA and an amazing writer, your scripts don’t sound/feel robotic or forced and your voice is super relaxing- don’t forget to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep :)

Dude your voice is really cool/pretty! Also love the ramble-outro style. Feels very comforting tbh

[@bubbles7733]

I absolutely hate storms, and I used to have a partner that would help me through the night, but he wasn’t a good person and now all I have are silly little KZbin videos. I came across this video like 4 months ago, and I’ve been obsessed with your channel ever since. There’s something about the acting that seems so genuine, and they make me feel like I’m the braver person. It’s helped me become less afraid. This is definitely my fav ASMR account! Keep up the good work!

[@tanukiaudios]

@Bubbles! Maybe they're silly but if they help, who cares? I'm happy you found it, your words mean a lot. I've always loved reverse comfort-type audios and it turns out they're actually so fun to make hehe. I always try to put bits of myself into my characters so they can be genuine. Don't pretend you can't be a brave person though! You're toughing it out after separating from someone who was close to you and that takes so much bravery. be gentle with yourself and you keep up the good work too! And thanks for listening

[@wickedsanchome]

I think chai is actually my favorite black tea! Good pick! Though lavender is low on my list for reasons that shall not be named. Thanks for listening

[@startownsend7517]

@@tanukiaudios Chai is definitely my go to. I should say the only time I've had lavender tea has been lavender cream tea at boba places so maybe that's why I like it so much. I just remembered another yummy floral drink I enjoy is Sorrel, I'm not sure if it's considered a tea but it's made by steeping dried hibiscus flowers. Its typically served iced with orange or ginger. The flavor is very tart so you have to add a lot of sugar to it but its pretty good and apparently it's good for you as well.

[@kenzieb9053]

I am so glad I (re)listened to this again! Your stories make me happy and reminiscent! I used to be quite scared of thunderstorms- I think it makes a difference if you are sensitive to loud noises and bright lights.Since I am, I really feel for Mr. Neighbor! I l love most teas- a spicy orange and black pekoe, or a milder lemon zinger is really good hot during these gradually colder autumn months. And I grew up on iced tea and usually brew up a pitcher most every week. I'm a big believer that hugs help fix most problems. So I'm sending you a big hug right now, just because I want to! Have a good night and sweet dreams!
