The time has come!

I'm unable to express all my excitement through words, so maybe an image should suffice:

So I've just recieved the fifth CD, and now that I have the full collection, I'll try submitting all the seals for the bonus CD... through shopping service! It's probably going to be a long while until I get to hear the OjiRaji extra, and I truly hope it's worth all the trouble.

Oh yeah, Seifuku no Ojisama staff have announced Sugimoto will have his own CD released too, but it does not have an exact release date yet, they just mentioned it should be around the end of 2014. I wonder if they'll release more seals for another trade-in (a full second roster of characters)...

Seifuku no Ojisama 3rd drama CD announced, 2nd released

That moment when you just noticed something cool which had remained unnoticed, but was simply screaming at your face all the time... the ribbons, although being colored in each character's representing color, they link out into each cover~

Anyway, Seifuku no Ojisama official site has updated last week with information on the upcoming third drama CD for the "After Happyend" series.

Like the previous ones, it'll be recorded using a dummy-head microphone and the preorders will ship bundled with a code to redeem a special story in-game.

Known details about the release:

Inma vol. 3 drama CD details

Phew, last post was like a full month ago, I somehow didn't see it pass that fast! Was planning on doing a translation post but I somehow got tired of formatting it all out... maybe I'll get my ass moving and finish it before it's too late...

Anyway, this is some nice news I came across recently - drama CD label Velvet Voice is releasing a third (and fourth, in a date yet unspecified) CD for it's Inma series. Such series is about a pair of incubus, each with a different personality (which is sort of an opposite to the other demon), kind of rivaling themselves on who does the listener better, and yes, it is a R18 series. The interesting part of the news is, this time, the incubi will be older men~

Character and release info as follows:

Update: Added a countdown voice download link at the end of this post!

Following the trend on drama CDs, it will use a dummy-head microphone for the recording. Exclusive to preorders, just like the first volume, the CD will come bundled with a code to redeem a special story, featuring the entitled character, inside the game application.

Seifuku no Ojisama drama CD 1 PV and tokuten

Spawned from a mobile game, the drama CD series "Seifuku no Ojisama After Happyend" will have it's first release later this month, in September 25th, but today the staff have uploaded a promotional video containing a few samples from the CD, which has the featured character voiced by Keiji Fujiwara:

The preorder tokuten for a couple of the shops carrying this CD series have also been announced a while back, the details below:

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku vol. 3 preorder opens

Drama CD label "milky chain" has updated their website with information on a new Ojisama Shinshi-Roku volume, the third in the series.

Since the series is continuing, this is a signal the previous CDs are selling good enough, which brings me a lot of joy since I really like listening to older voice tones ~(_´w`)~

Release date, synopsis and tokuten information are the following:

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku vol. 1 & 2 preorder details

Having a keen eye for ossan-related goods, I've recently came upon this series from the new drama CD label "milky chain" - seems like I've just found the right drama CD series for this niche!

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku is supposed to be a series of CDs with stories about some rather famous older characters. This series also makes use of the "dummy-head" microphone, letting the listeners experience the characters act around them and feel closer to them.

So far, two CDs have been announced (and here's hope more are in production), with the following release info:

Seifuku no Ojisama 1st drama CD announced

It's official now - instead of just one CD with all the characters, it will actually be a series of situation CDs, each featuring a single character. They will contain stories set after the happy ending from each character's in-game route.

The CDs will be made using the "dummy-head" styled microphone, which provides a 360° sound recording, meaning the listener will feel like being part of the story and following the characters up close - the release asks the listeners to look forward sweet whispering from your favorite ojisama~

The full series is expected to be released with a two-month span for each new CD. The release schedule being as follows:

Shopping service review - Yokatta

Today for something different than a game review, and also different from an anime episode review - this is a service review!

First and foremost, even trying to be impartial here, this is a "venting-off post". I have extracted one tooth two days ago and it still hurts, while afterwards finding out one of the shipments from Yokatta came heavily damaged, I just have to put this through a post now, so excuse for the rageposting.

Uta no Prince-sama All Star released~

Today, the beast has been unleashed!
Although it's still the 6th, those who had preordered should be getting shipping notices today already.
The UtaPuri official website is having some major issues right now as we speak, I hope it comes back in shape soon though.

I am really dying to play this. Also am hoping it doesn't turn like Debut and actually has some plot depth, or at least a few interesting turnabouts.
As always, the anime's second season is prone to have "Mamoru-drama-king" making me cry be crap in terms of plot, but at least it's supposed to be very lively (really looking forward the new OP sequence).

Still Still Still, I want to play it so hard... when I get it available, I'll probably try to master at least through Hard Lv2 in a single sitting, oh stubborness, can't help it XD

UtaPuri's "Still Still Still" hidden message

So I have been listening to Uta no Prince-sama's new single, Still Still Still, for a week long, and can't get enough of these two.

The double-personality pair:
2 idols worth 4 singers!

I really love how Mamoru Miyano and Kishou Taniyama blended together... their voices, but also their characters are, in my sincerest opinion, the prettiest from UtaPri. I have always liked their songs in the previous installments, and now they're finally together! I really wish there was more art/doujin from this pairing!

But believe me, there is a hidden message in this song...

Christmas - have a merry one

What is this, I don't even...

I was writing a long post about upcoming releases, but this package just got in. Santa does exist, for me to have all these precious things in hands just today (there were about 40 other cards included - took a shot of the holos only, the photo turned dark though).

A happy otome is a happy otome.
I am out of words.
