Lady's Review List

Ichijou Hirame never ever disappoints. He did a great job of giving the feeling that Riku is sweet and kind, but has something underneath the surface. So it felt like I was being cared for while being mildly unnerved, which is exactly the vibe the summary conveyed. I'm really impressed that he was able to do that with his voice.

Honestly, I was a little nervous when I started track 1 because I was thinking, "He's gonna do this while she's blind and has amnesia?" I was worried that this would be a more violent situation, but it worked out better than expected.

Riku really loves the listener to pieces, to the point where I could practically see the hearts in his eyes. All he wants to do is be close to her and it was very sweet, even though the some of the sex scenes are coerced. Overall I love the work, and I'll definitely listen to it again

I've been on a Koitsuda Renya kick these days and all of his works are a hit, including this one.

The character here has a very cute personality and a chipper voice to match it, though it switches into something more mature during the H scenes, which is a nice touch. It makes it feel like there's much more hidden under the surface, though we only see a bit of the character in the audio tracks.

Overall it made me feel very special and loved, which is always nice. It also hit me right in the onee-san kink, so if you like that too, this is for you

It is well worth the money, even at full price. Even though my Japanese is very limited, I bought one of Ochi's untranslated works because the sample caught my interest. This is the fourth of his works I've bought because he really is that good.

The immersion gets a 10/10 from me. The description said it would make me think of him as my boyfriend and it was right lol.

Usually sounds like 'sh' and 'ch' and 's' sound very harsh and grating to the ear, but Ochi says them in such a way that they actually sound very pleasant, like actual asmr.

Overall, the entire work made me feel very loved and warm and fuzzy. Nowadays, no matter who else I listen to, I'll come right back to one of Ochi's works right after. I know I'll be coming back to this one quite often with how nice it makes me feel. I'd almost say it lowers my blood pressure lol

I'm going to start off by saying that this CD is not for the faint of heart, so be careful when listening. If you are able to handle it though, it's amazing.

I wasn't expecting the story to have such a huge bearing on the entire work, but it does, so the mood of the entire work is affected. There's a scary vibe through the whole thing and it's only intensified by the knowledge that even if someone knew what was going on, they wouldn't help the listener and that she was completely on her own.

It was much sicker than I expected it to be, so horror fans are going to like it. Especially if you're into atmospheric horror.

Seiji was scary. That's it. He was interesting to listen to because he was fully convinced that he loved the listener despite what he was doing, and the context of it all. Kawamura did a fantastic job of striking fear into my heart lol. His voice was always nice to listen to, but some of the mouth sounds were a bit odd, even by r18 CD standards.

Overall an enjoyable work. And even if the premise is not to your liking, Kawamura's voice is very pleasant, so I would've been able to listen without the translation and been happy. In fact, the reason I bought this work even though I was hesitant about the plot is because I liked the samples so much.

I normally try to word things as kindly as I can, but the translation really is that bad.

I have no complaints about the CD itself. Mitsuhashi has once again done a fantastic job in his voice work. I liked the concept presented in the description on the store page, and I was really excited to see the idol concept in action.

The plot is also pretty good; the parts I was able to understand, at least. It could not have been more obvious that the script was run through an online translator and published without even being proofread. It's in the form of a pdf, which isn't my preferred file but something I can deal with. I can even deal with awkward translations, but this is something else entirely.

I'd recommend it if you already have a firm grasp of the Japanese language. However, if you don't it's going to be difficult to understand even with the script. The fact that I had to use my limited knowledge of Japanese to translate the translation is honestly absurd

I had a great time listening to this CD. Nearly every track was r18, which kind of surprised me. Nikaisen did a fantastic job of voicing this character, especially when looking at the yandere front.

There were times where Youta has outbursts of anger and yells, and then suddenly cools down. There was a lot of bouncing between highs and lows in terms of emotion, and that really nailed in the fact that this dude was mega unstable lol.

I have no complaints about the r18 scenes. In fact, the voice acting in those is among my favorites of all the CDs I own. Nikaisen really delivers a nice breathy voice in those scenes, and his words come out really light and airy. If you like that sort of sound, then I highly recommend.

The translation (by Nyannyano) was very good as well, and the vtt files had very accurate time stamps, so each line was shown as they were spoken. I felt the need to mention this because I've seen a lot of CDs where this is not the case. But yes, I had a good time pulling up the online player and reading the subtitles from there rather than having to try and follow the vtt script

The bonus tracks are something else too. They feature Mitsuhashi Wataru as Tsurugi and man, both he and Youta are such scumbags lmao. But that was the vibe Nikaisen wanted to give off, so it was successful

This CD was pretty good, all things considered. Raymond was just as insufferable as I expected him to be and I loved that. The CD has only one r18 track with the others providing background that was really necessary in understanding Raymond. I actually think there wasn't enough backstory and that it could have been fleshed out more, but I also think most people would get bored of it lol. The little peeks we did get endeared me to Raymond more than I thought it would.

Understanding more of Raymond's past experiences and motivations made him a more sympathetic character, and also gave the r18 track a deeper emotion than just "horny." While Listener was wearing him down physically, she was also taking down his emotional walls too. Her making him be more honest and vocal about what he was feeling physically allowed him to let out his emotional feelings later, at a point where his relationship with Listener changed. It was more conplex than what I was expecting and I was pleasantly surprised.

As for the voice acting, I have no objective complaints. Raymond's high pitched screaming got on my nerves at times, but that's just a matter of preference because I prefer mid-range voices. One Night Love has done it once again with his incredibly expressive acting. Raymond's arrogance showed through in every word he spoke lol, I was impressed by that quality. And even though I didn't love the high pitched sounds, I was still really impressed by the acting itself. It must have been tough to go all out like that the way female voice actors do, but he did it well

Overall not bad. Would love a sequel where we get a look at Raymond's thoughts after Listener tamed him

Love love loooved this CD! Definitely gonna listen too this over and over again. Went straight into the favorites.

Plot: This is the first time I've seen the ranger concept used in a drama CD, so I'm not sure how it compares to other works, but I think it was really well done here. There was just enough mention of what was going on outside the room to remind both myself and Hikaru that this was no time to be fooling around with the enemy. And those mentions slowly declined as the tracks went on, like how thoughts of anything else were starting to leave Hikaru's mind, which was a really cool touch.

Characters: Hikaru has a strong moral core, and I like that. He tries very hard to remember that his team needs him and that he has a job to do. He even gets disappointed in himself when he gets worn down and gives in to his feelings and wants. But what really highlighted his goodness was the way he treated Listener. No matter what, even when he was throwing harsh words at her, he always treated her gently. I honestly thought he'd bite her when she kissed him or manhandle her when the cuffs came off, but that never happened haha. His tenderness made the whole thing oddly heartwarming.

Voice acting: Irodori Kazuya never disappoints 10/10. His style of soft moans and whimpers made a nice contrast to Hikaru's (trying to be) intimidating vibe. His moans also have a slightly rough quality to them that really sounds nice to me, almost like a cat purring. And when Hikaru was speaking softly to Listener (ie not telling her to let him go), like when he said "Liar. You don't look embarrassed at all," it sounded like he was actually very fond of her, like he was smiling. He probably wasn't, but the way it sounded made this feel much softer and I almost forgot most of the tracks involved rape lol

This CD was really such a good pick-me-up and made me laugh and smile for real. This is my first time listening to One Night Love, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was absolutely blown away by how expressive his acting was. Souta was such a lively character and the voice acting really brought him to life and highlighted all the colors of his personality. And he's just as dumb as he seems lol it's absolutely hilarious

Though the plot is nothing I haven't seen before, the basic premise of character A making themselves into a huge success in the limelight to catch character B's attention, One Night Love's acting really made Souta and the whole project special. It was fun to see Souta drop his "ore-sama" front at the drop of a hat because he can never keep his cool in front of listener. The quick switches between all his different expressions, arrogance, insecurity, embarrassment, excitement, caring, etc made him into such a lively and lovable character.

I also really liked how much he cared for listener the whole way through. Cooking for her, giving her a massage, and checking on her emotional and mental state all did a great job of portraying the soft part of his love, the side whose main goal was to make listener happy.

The ending really tugged on my heartstrings too. The phrase "aishiteru" is always meant to be taken seriously, but to hear it at the end on their wedding night, right before it cuts to the outro music, gave it an impact that seriously took my breath away. My heart felt light until long after the track ended.

As always, Ichijou Hirame did a fantastic job in his voiceover work! His voice just has a nice quality that makes every one of his characters feel like your boyfriend, whether that's the relationship or not. The pacing was good, the emotional expression was good. I also really liked the plot of a guy in a casual relationship and realizing he wants more.

The translation, however, I do have some issues with. I can forgive spelling errors, but there were many instances where the translation was worded awkwardly. Sometimes it felt as if the dialogue was run through an online translator and the direct translation was used rather than making the attempt to carry any nuance over into English. Phrases like how it "feels wavy inside" took away from my enjoyment of the CD. There were also times where subtitles repeated themselves when the dialogue had already moved on, and there were a few untranslated lines.

I had a good idea of what was going on through the CD, but I would have preferred a cleaner translation. It's the only reason I'm giving a 3 star rating because every other aspect was great.
