週刊添い寝CDシリーズ vol.1 翔

 週刊添い寝CDシリーズ vol.1 翔

Shuukan Soine is a CD in which your boyfriend cuddles next to you in bed and talks with you  until you fall asleep.

As soon as I heard that this was going to be made I first cracked up, and then  I knew I just had to listen to it. The series is recorded with the 'dummy head  microphone', which means the characters sound as if they are really talking  into your ear, the concept is just lol, and the first in line is Hirakawa  Daisuke so I just had to listen to this.

The first thing I noticed are the blanket sounds, the character doesn't just  talk but when moving around there are (much too realistic xD) blanket sounds.  The entire talk itself is just too cute. Kakeru comes to bed after receiving an  urgent call from his work, and you've been lonely while he was away so he tries  to calm you down.

Btw, somewhere halfway through the CD you discover that you are sleeping in a  single bed xD (sleeping in a single bed with Hirakawa Daisuke his voice xD  ahahahaha) He does say that he'd like to buy a new one, and want you to help  him to choose a new one. And then he asks whether it would be ok to go to the  bookstore along the way... such a logical combo xD

The reason he wants to go to the bookstore is to search for a specific book  that seems to be part of a series of four, and is some sort of a fairytale.  This story btw, returns in the other Soine CDs as well. In each CD they tell a story that they link back to their own relationship.

Track 5 is (>///<) Because you're not falling asleep Kakeru eventually decides  that 'he is not going to let you sleep'. Hearing someone say that so close to  my ear nearly made me faint.

The last two tracks are when you've already fallen asleep, and the next morning when Kakeru wakes you up. Both are very cute, especially his almost falling  asleep when he whispers that he already bought an engament ring is just too cute.

The first press has a cast comment bonus track. The first time I was listening  to this I really was falling asleep, and because Hirakawa-san is very excited  while doing the cast comment I shot awake from my dreamy half-sleep. His  excitement is just too cute though. Apparently he did the recording of the cast  talk while wearing a headphone so that he can hear the effects of the dummy  head for himself as well. And he obviously has a lot of fun with it. (He  mentions that this is the first time that he is experiencing how it sounds for  himself, so that he's using this as a way to experiment xD). The best part is  when he has to do a message from Kakeru, and then almost squeels at how it  turns out xD

The use of the dummy head recording is very effective. Of course because Kakeru is constantly talking into your ear, but the way they switch from where you  hear him is nicely executed. Kakeru sleeps right of you, so you'll mostly hear  him from your rigth side, but every now and then he also whispers in your left  ear. The CD is 48minutes, which is -as I've experienced- more than enough to  actually make you fall sleep. (55min if you include the cast comment, but that  is more likely to wake you up)


This is one of those CDs that has a high risk of falling sleep. I had to listen to it trice before I finally heard everything. I recommend keeping the cast  comment apart if you are listening to this at night. No matter how cute  Hirakawa-san his excitement is, it does break the mood.
