In this entry: Kodomo no Hitomi, Koi no Kokoro ni Kuroi Hane, Cafe Latte Rhapsody, Sarasara., Dear Girl~Stories~ Hibiki, sweet pool, and AN’S ALL STARS Live Tour 2008 Virgin? ~Welcome to An’s Hospital~, Shining Force Feather ~Force MAX Zenkai Radio~ #1.

Kodomo no Hitomi
Cast: Narita Ken x Kamiya Hiroshi, Yoshino Hiroyuki

The strict elder brother of Misaki (Kamiya), Hitoshi (NariKen) lost his memories in an accident and his mind has reverted back to when he was 6 years old. Jyoutarou (Yoshino) is Misaki’s son.

I was hesitant to listen to this because I personally am not too fond of Narita in BL. As usual, Kamiya was great! Such a talented guy. It was weird hearing Narita sound like a kid and cry all the time. .^^; That part I didn’t enjoy too much. Yoshino was adorable as Jyoutarou, who is supposed to be 5 or 6, I forget, but very young. Overall a good story but I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite of mine.

Koi no Kokoro ni Kuroi Hane
Cast: Mizushima Takahiro x Sugiyama Noriaki, Taniyama Kishou x Hirakawa Daisuke, Takagi Wataru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa x Kakihara Tetsuya, Sugita Tomokazu x Yusa Kouji

恋の心に黒い羽
Price: JPY 2,993

I’ll be honest– I don’t remember much of what happened in this. The first story with Sugiyama and Mizushima involved Sugiyama’s chara having a large family (lots of brothers and sisters and he’s the eldest). I don’t remember any of the other stories, sorry. .^^;;;

One thing that stuck in my head was how funny Tatsu’s character was. I remember him just saying “Let’s have sex!” every 5 minutes, haha.

Cafe Latte Rhapsody
Cast: Hatano Wataru x Suzumura Kenichi, Konishi Katsuyuki

Keito (Hatano) is a mixed-Japanese who often visits the book store where Serizawa (SuzuKen) works. He’s a really tall guy and has a scary face but in actuality he’s very timid and has trouble speaking with people. Serizawa can’t help but find Keito incredibly cute and they begin seeing each other. Shiraishi (Konishi) is Serizawa’s ex-boyfriend who comes around to ask for money. Serizawa tends to attract good-for-nothing people but Keito is different.

In a word: CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!! OMG, I have never heard Hatano use such a cute voice like this before!!! It was just adorable! And he speaks a few lines in English!!! Haha, adorable, I tell ya! Reading the recording report on the Atis site, it seems that Waccha was really worried about those lines, hehe. He did a good job though. And have I mentioned how CUTE he is!?

SuzuKen as Serizawa was cute too. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to a drama with SuzuKen in it. Konishi used his playful voice. I can’t say I cared too much for his character though because he would often purposefully try to hurt Keito’s feelings. =.(

Very good drama and I totally died of cute listening to it. Oh, the freetalk is fun too! As always, Hatano was teased and there was a lot of mucha buri including Hatano having to make up a theme song for the drama, haha.

Sarasara.
Cast: Miki Shinichirou x Kamiya Hiroshi

This is the bangaihen for the Shinayaka na Jounetsu series which takes place between the first two dramas.

Wow. That’s all I can say. Kamiya is such a great performer. There is a scene where Omi and Jiei are having a fight and the emotions that Kamiya portrays is just amazing. Just, wow. Totally incredible. Omi is very seductive and you know Kamiya pulls that off well too. Miki was awesome as well.

I love this series! This is probably going to be the last drama for it though. =.( In any case, highly recommended.

Dear Girl~Stories~ Hibiki
Cast: Kamiya Hiroshi, Ono Daisuke, Yusa Kouji, Hatano Wataru

Dear Girl~Stories~響

Based on the manga for DGS, the drama follows HiroC and OnoD’s “secret organization” Hibiki that helps out girls. HiroC has a lot of cats (with funny names) and their payment comes in the form of cats, haha.

Fun drama. Kamiya and Ono are really fun to listen to. Yusa was very amewsing too. Hatano had just a small role as the guy the girl was trying to confess to.

sweet pool
Cast: Hatano Wataru, Kawahara Yoshihisa, Kishio Daisuke, Midorikawa Hikaru

It’s been a looooooooooooooooooong time since I’ve played a BL game but I just had to try sweet pool out because the CGs are amazing and Hatano is the main character!

Hawt damn, Youji (Hatano)… He pants… a lot…. *NOSEBLEED* So. Friggin’. Hawt. So far I’ve cleared Tetsuo (Kawahara) and Makoto’s (Kishio) endings. The Tetsuo ending is LOVE. Kawahara sounds so sexy!! Tetsuo doesn’t talk much but when he does, mmmmmmm~~~ I nearly cried at the end when Tetsuo repeated Youji’s question asking if there was such thing as “eternity.” *bawls*

Makoto’s ending is… kinda freaky. Basically he eats Youji. =.x Um, yeah. Makoto is a really genki character but being around Youji and his “smell,” Makoto starts getting really strange and then becomes obsessed with Youji.

Working on Zenya’s route. Midorikawa is perfect for the role but guh! Zenya scares me! X.D

Anyway, great game, as expected from Nitro+chiral. The game is pretty bloody with gruesome descriptions but the CGs are incredible. I demand drama CDs!!!!!

First live DVD for AN’S ALL STARS, the band fronted by Ishikawa Hideo and Morikubo Shoutarou. Their event back in 2005 was my first ever seiyuu event so they’re kind of special to me.

In a word: AWESOME! Ishikawa and Morikubo are so cool!! They performed all their songs plus a couple new ones. Ishikawa cracked me up when he came out with a blowup sex toy for XTC… Haha! They totally had the place rockin’ and I was really moved by the live performance for Native Song, which is one of my favorites by AN’S. Looking forward to their next album!!

Shining Force Feather ~Force MAX Zenkai Radio~
Personalities: Hatano Wataru, Suwabe Junichi
http://www.animate.tv/digital/web_radio/detail_165.html

OMG, this is a dream come true! Two of my favorite seiyuu on the same radio show!!!

Shining Force Feather is the latest game in the Shining series for NDS. It’ll be released in February next year. Hatano voices the main character Jin and Suwabe is Shuuhou (not sure if he’s a bad guy or not).

As to be expected, Hatano was teased from the get-go. Suwabe accused Hatano of being chosen for the main role because he has the kanji hane (feather) in his name, LoL. There’s a corner where the game producer talks about the game and answers questions. Suwabe asked him if that was the reason why Hatano was chosen and of course it wasn’t. Then after some talking, Suwabe concluded it was because there was no one else to play the role, LoL!

This show is updated bi-weekly. You know I’m gonna enjoy it!!

  2. Kodomo no Hitomi
    That was my first drama with NariKen as seme. God, it was so cute yet so, so wrong! It had me giggle, gasp and just down right say “Sweet evil Jesus! Did he just say that?!” :O

    Cafe Latte Rhapsody
    OMG! So. Freakin’. CUTE! It’s nice to hear Waccha and SuzuKen together again since Boku wa Kimi no Tori ni Naritai.

  3. I LOVED Cafe Latte Rhapsody. I totally died of cute while listening to it. Waccha’s “theme song” he was forced to make up on the spot was funny too.

  4. I felt roughly the same way about Kodomo no Hitomi… I really liked PARTS of the story, and I still have that awkward ero-oyaji-voice crush on NariKen, but hearing him as a kid was really not something I enjoyed :( Kamiya was gorgeous as usual, though *_*

    Yeah. I felt a bit more relieved (?) when Hitoshi was back to his adult self so NariKen would sound, ya know, like NariKen. X.D

  6. Hihi~~decided to drop by and say hi, and saw your review on sweet pool~~It’s fast becoming one of my favorite BL game, if not the favorite! To think that I wasn’t even gonna try it because some reviews I read didn’t think too highly of the game…^_^;;; I demand more drama CDs too! and fan disc, and side stories by the scenario writer (donno how to pronounce her name…) and doujinshis and (/snip)

    Erm, anyway, keep up the good work! \(^o^)/
