GREETINGS (you can skip this!): First of all, Happy New Year everyone!  (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ Although this blog might not be updated as often as I’d like it to be (thanks to real life), I will still do my best to keep it alive! There are also many tumblr users out there who put in effort to provide translated information about upcoming CDs, so I hope you check them out and continue to support them and your favourite drama CDs! 

Back to the post proper! Black Butterfly just released information about the second CD in “Nuigurumi to Watashi”! Usako is a cheerful bunny toy who likes to act in a comical way but is actually a serious and good boy at heart. He has a complex about his cute name, and when he sees you cry he also becomes sad.

Black Butterfly just announced a new series featuring soft toy gijinka!  o((*^▽^*))o Two CDs are planned, starting with the gentle teddy bear Kumata and followed by the bubbly bunny Usako. Although the cast and release date for the second CD has not been announced yet, you can view the official website here for Usako’s chibi visual.

CV: Yusa Kouji (as Kumata)  EDIT!!! Date of release: 22 January 2016 (not 1 Jan as I first typed the post! Sorry for the mistake and thanks user rena87 for pointing it out! ^^)  Preorder: BlackButterfly Online Store Also, on a unrelated note, this blog seems to be able to use Tumblr Messaging, so if you have any questions or would like to say hi, please feel free to do so! ^^  

Remember this series? (If you need to refresh your memory, click the link above!) Well, it looks like they’re back to make you weep with volumes 5 and 6! 

Volume 5 features Ryou (on the left), who has been your lover since your university days. Currently you are in a long-distance relationship with him. After graduating from university, he went to the city to work while you stayed behind and since then he hasn’t returned, but both of you talk to each other a few times a week over the phone. He actually contemplates quitting his job and returning to his hometown, but because of his my-pace philosophy he sets vague goals - “since I’m already here, I should accomplish something before going back!” - and so his busy days continue. He is Tadashi’s junior/kouhai. Although he notices Tadashi’s kindness when the latter teaches him his work meticulously, he isn’t good with Tadashi’s workaholic nature but he definitely does not dislike him.    　

Volume 6 features Tadashi (right) who is Ryo’s senior/senpai at work and your lover with whom you started going out a few years ago. He is serious about his work, and has a stoic personality. He takes good care of his kouhais, he is well-trusted by his superiors - he has a strong sense of responsibility. Because he has so many things to do, even on days that he set aside to spend with you he has hardly enough time to wind down and relax properly. Although he is thankful that you are used to the fact that he often ends up breaking his promise to you to spend time with you and so you let him go to work, he is also apologetic about it. While people might think he appears cold-blooded (due to the fact that he wears a suit and glasses and overall he looks uptight) he’s actually nice to anyone. He is also obedient enough to immediately take off his glasses for you when you tell him that you like him better without his glasses. 

Sample voices are available here!

Sorry for not updating in such a long time! >< Twofive recently announced a new drama CD series! The official website is also up here. This series consists of 2 CDs (Side A and B) where the character you choose to be with differs. The story begins with you waking up in your childhood friend Asakura Hajime’s house, and in the room with you are Asakura and his friend Bashou Keiji. At this point your memory is a blur, in spite of how much you wanted to tell “him” something important. You cannot recall how and when you got here, but Asakura and Bashou tell you that “you’re not allowed to leave this place”. Why do the two of them want to keep you here? “Who” did you want to tell that something important? Side A builds on the premise that you are in love with Asakura, so naturally the happy end is with Asakura while the bad end (most likely yandere end) is with Bashou; the opposite is true for Side B.

Limit Call features kouhai character Kouta, who is in a long-distance relationship with you (working adult). Usually the two of you will confirm your love for the other over the phone, but when there are long holidays Kouta comes over to your place, and the two of you get to feel each other’s warmth... But lately you have been stuck working overtime with your boss, and Kouta seems to have some thoughts about that...? The CD will be recorded with the dummy head mic.

Sorry for the belated update! ><;; In this volume, you go on a honeymoon to New Zealand with associate professor Satoru! Satoru is 29 y/o and is a stickler for rules, and only his serious attitude/sincerity seems to be his strength. He tries his best to please the heroine/protag, but because he’s not used to women he somehow fails to look good in front of her. He got to know the heroine/protag through a professor’s introduction. It was love at first sight for Satoru, and as a result of his hard attacks/eager advances, the two got married after just half a year. Satoru likes puzzles and reading.
