Rather disappointed with the stories overall this time, both in terms of the story choices and their execution.
However, this is only the CD marking the end of season 1 so there is hope that they will return to their usual excellent work with season 2

Thanks for visiting!
Stay tuned and happy listening. (^_-)-☆

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° COMMENTS ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°

I have been bravely ignoring other people's reviews of this so as not to spoil any surprises.
Random thoughts as I type this...
IM sure loves the Christmas season release date.
I hope they release a soundtrack like they have for the Are You Alice? series.

And as I said before, this story is just starting. IM continues to provide a lot of background information which I will be translating and posting for you in the future weeks. In the meantime, you can find general series information here.

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆

ZERO ZANY. {and no, the period is not a typo.}

This series, until recently as in this week, was listed on the IM hp in their "works" section. Its disappearance from both the works page and the general news was confusing at first until I tracked it down only to discover it is a joint venture between IM and 5pb. Apparently, the IM works page has now been strictly dedicated to introducing IM only works.

The does not make a whole lot of sense to me from a monetary perspective. Since they would be getting some cut of the profits from ZERO ZANY., I would think they would want to advertise and entice people into purchasing it. But ultimately, that is their dilemma, not mine. I am just hear to share the goodness. And it is good.
I just wonder who Dorothy is supposed to be?

ZERO ZANY.

[ Summary ]
It is a new world.
Assassins are recognized as public servants and murder is a legallalized establishment. Those that are not useful to the country are 'cleansed' by legitimate assassins recognized by the Diet.
And then there is「ZERO ZANY.」. Commonly called OZ, this is the home of the illegitimate assassins. Through their clients and targets now begins the final futile struggle of those that have lost their ability to live lawfully.

Good news is, if you don't have it yet, jump to amazon JP for samples of each of the tracks. I clicked on a track to try it out and it loads up its own nice player with all the CD tracks to choose from meaning that you do not need to rely on windoze or tricks to get around windoze only みんな滅べばいいのに traitorous sites like Animate. About 45 seconds per sample track.

Also, unlike the hugely popular Alice? series for some reason this miniseries has a short introductory video you can watch off the official ZERO ZANY. site. Again, I don't know why. It is not that it is bad - they have a great cast lineup and quite an interesting plot line - but it is no comparison to Twilight Suicide or Are You Alice?.

That being said, it gets really good with the second installment. {I really have to restrain myself from saying anything more.} In the first installment you find yourself dumped squarely in an almost day in the life scenario in Mayberry. Provided Mayberry is on crack and into cutting. No sense of prelude or introduction. You hit the ground running and it's full speed ahead! And that in itself is an interesting stylistic deviation from the norm. But it's in CODE-02 where they really take you for a ride.

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆
really! you can listen this time!

...
...
OK. I have had it. Even if the third novel was released as a drama cd...
well, ok, I would listen, but fair warning--HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS.
The intrigue/murder part of the story is just as good as the first one, but frankly there is not much to say about Mikishin and Sakurai's relationship. Forget any ideas you had of seeing some development. Quite the opposite, Sakurai ends up sleeping with someone else. {No juicy details here either to compensate for the lack of progress between him and Mikishin.} And for me the ultimate kicker--Mikishin hardly even appears in this one >.>

If you are looking for something safe to listen to in a public place or something that won't make you fall off the treadmill, you can listen to this without fear of exposure. If you are looking for something more involved, your time is better spent elsewhere.

KIRI 「霧」, THE SERIES＠backstory

And now we break from our normal CD commentary to bring you the back story. A behind-the-scenes look at IM label's newest release, 霧 -the route of infection KANARIA.

【コウノトリの世界崩壊】

The Black Stork Brings the End of the World

* The first "bird cage", the black stork, brought about the memory loss incident. Part of the world's memory was seized by the black stork upon its invasion as the world had no defenses against it.
→ Even now in the world, there are humans without memory that are living with a portion of memories supplied by Aristophanes.

* After that, Aristophanes took upon the will of the world and hid the world's memories inside the body of a human.
→ Outside of Kiri there were a number of humans in the past who carried the world's memories inside themselves.

* The black stork was rejected by the world and was said to have perished.

【トリカゴ】

The "Bird Cage"

* A global infectious virus developed a few years earlier in order to invade the Earth. In the following research it was discovered that the "bird cage" is not a virus created by someone but is a completely living organism that emerged automatically.
→ It is believed that the "bird cage" has the thinking capabilities equivalent to that of a human.
→ The "bird cage" will not {can not?} directly inflict harm upon a human being.

* Currently on Aristophanes' side, they are furthering their investigations along the lines that the "bird cage's" purpose is the seizure of the world's memories.

* The "bird cage" changed its morphology and three times in the past attempted to invade the world. The different forms were given the following names:
TYPE.01＠Black Stork
TYPE.02＠Longclaw
TYPE.03＠Tufted Puffin
→ The memory loss incident brought about by the initial virus, the black stork, has even to this date left deep claw marks on the world.

* In regards to the fourth "bird cage", Canary, at this point in time due to a lack of information, it has not been located. Investigations are ongoing.
→ Is it already in contact with Kiri?
→ Is it a new virus type having the form of a human?

【カナリア】

Canary

* The fourth of the global infectious viruses born out of the "bird cage". Aristophanes announced its official name as "TYPE.04@KANARIA", commonly called "Canary".
→ At this point in time it is recognized as a new viral form.

* Canary has the appearance, emotions, and language skills no different than that of a human and is now able to inflict direct harm upon them. Contact with Kiri is also possible.
→ Canary kidnaps Kiri to steal the world's memories. Current whereabouts are unknown.

【アリストファネス】

Aristophanes

* Aristophanes refers to that existence which can hear the voice of the world. Without any individualistic emotion, he carries out the world's desires absolutely. Aristophanes words are regarded as the will of the world itself. To protect the world from the "bird cage" infection, he buries the "world's memories" within the human, Kiri.
→ The "bird cage" is an entity that is not able to touch humans.
→ For the fourth "bird cage", Canary, this is possible?

＜11.11＞
In order to eradicate Canary, he invites those humans who hold a deep connection（?） to Kiri's memories to the fissure of the world.
→ Rockwell Black
→ Balfour J. McRyan（alias）
Honestly can not see them as being a force on the battlefield.

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° COMMENTS ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°

Actaully two separate but related stories about two high school aged couples. However that is merelyly incidental. It tells more of a slice of life story than a gakuen tale. And to say "slice of life" may not be completely accurate either as the whole plot revolves around the relationships between the individual couples and the intertwining relationships between the neighbors.

It is not suprisingly a basic story. Simplistic, easy listening about childhood friends whose relationsihp takes a turn into something else. The first couple that appears in the first track is Nojima Kenji x Sakurai Takahiro. The second couple is Miki Shinichirou x Itou Kentarou. And then the tale switches back and forth between the two couples and even overlaps in places as the story becomes more developed. In Mikishin's case, he admits his feelings for Itou first. Itou then comes around after a misunderstanding which leads him to consult with the couple { Nojima and Sakurai } next door.

Mikishin's voice is his "normal" version.　　どうせ普通の人を演じるからバッチリ〜。♡

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° COMMENTS ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°

Not much to say here. Just don't let this one pass you by! LISTEN!!

Mikishin plays a reticent, anti-social brother {But are we really sure about that?} and Hirata manages to be meltingly smexy in delivering some very creepy lines. The verbal battling between Hirata and Suzumura is great fun too. Not to mention incredibly reminiscent of the same tennis court back and forth play we saw between Hirata and Sakurai in the Alice? series. That should not be so much the surprise as the author for both series is the same. Nothing to fear about that though. There is no sense of cross-over or lack of originality to be found here.

Like most IM works though, you will need to listen at least
twice before you start to put the pieces together. Anthem:02 was finally released in what appears to be their favorite month of the year, December, again after a year long wait. Although I would prefer it did not, now that the Alice? series is winding down, hopefully they will pick up the pace in releasing the KIRI series and we won't be stuck waiting another year for the next one. >.>

As this story is just starting and IM has kindly provided a lot of background information this time, I will be translating those and posting for you in the future weeks. In the meantime, you can find general series information here.

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆

I fall asleep to this almost every night.
Not only does it have two of the hottest seiyuu--Mikishin and Konitan--but the intonation throughout the whole tale itself is very calm and soothing. And yet at the same time, it is a very moving story. Moving, but I did not find it sad or depressing if you are trying to avoid themes like that.

There is a palpable "Old China" feeling that runs throughout the basic storyline to the presentation--somewhat reminscient of the written works of Mizukami Shin or even the Tsuki to Matsurika drama series. Minus the smex in both cases naturally. Even the title of "The tale of the Mountain Moon" itself calls back to the old historical volumes of Japanese literature. This is one hundred percent drama. Although the last line, where Mikishin confesses what he really wants to do gives the suggestion that they may be more than friends, that could be merely a fujoshi-leanings reading into the story. ^.^

So whether you are a fan of the traditional, historical setting or of the seiyuu, this is highly recommended listening. Much like the Alice? series, I never get tired of listening to this one and always manage to catch something new when I do.

BL DRAMA CD: Kanraku no Miyako

♡Miki Shin'ichirou♡ is my personal obsession.

AND he happens to appear in several IM label releases including the newest KIRI series, I decided to present one of the bl drama cds that has appeared in. An older one, and frankly, I have so many I could not even remember who was cast in this beyond Mikishin nor even what the story was about. Yet would you believe of all the cds I have with him, I just happened to pick the one where he plays opposite of Sakurai?? {Alice? from Are you Alice? series}

Does it get any more perfect than that? (^_-)-☆
So let's have a look.

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° COMMENTS ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°

There are so far four novels in the original series. The newest having been released last November after a dead period of several years.

How to describe Mikishin's performance... He doesn't use his entrancing Jiei voice {shinayaka series}, nor his lighter, innocent voice like from the Candy Quartz Apartment series. Neither does he use his deep, menacing/somewhat obsessive-crazed voice like from the Kage no Yakata series.　Probably the best way from me to give you an idea of what is like is to say it's close to the voice he uses in ON-KAI which was just released last year.

I was quite pleasantly surprised by this. But as I said, I had no idea what it was about so I was not carrying any preconceptions or biases. {Frankly, if I had remembered what the cover looked like, I may have passed this up. Not my preference for style.} The story is relatively simple though it does involve intrigue and murder on the side. I would also call it quite fantastic in that it takes place in "historical" London. More specifically in a place where brothels and prostitution are not just legal, but celebrated.

I will say this as a warning of sorts - there is no smex in this first one in the series.
If you're looking for it, you're only looking to be disappointed.
Maybe we'll see some in the next release.

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆
