Akogare no Situation: Homeraretai

憧れのシチュエーションCD vol.2 褒められたいっ

Company: Gakken
Based on: Original
Released: 2012.02.28


The Akogare no Situation CD series is based on the concept of placing you in a certain situation that you long for/want. (憧れる (akogareru) means "to long for" or "to admire"). That can be being scolded, being protected and in this case; being praised.

The CD starts with you walking into the salon where your boyfriend Aoyagi Yuu(CV: Shimono Hiro) works. He is surprised that you come by so late, and you nearly burst into tears explaining that you had to do overwork because someone else made a mistake. But ---- praises you for properly doing your work, even though the person who made the mistake already went home

You’ve got a rare day off together the next day (Yuu works as a hairdresser, so his days off don’t match yours most of the time) and you decide to go to the amusement park. Despite usually not being able to get out of bed in the morning, you get up early this time, which gets you some more compliments.

While at the amusement park Yuu talks about how you met; apparently you clung to him when you were in the haunted house, only realizing he didn’t belong to your group when you were outside again. Cutest thing ever. But we are here for compliments of course, and don’t worry you’ll get them. You’ve been on a diet and have reached the weight you were aiming for, so lots of compliments there. After that is some souvenir shopping together. And more compliments.

This CD was mostly cute. Yuu is a sweet boyfriend, and he showers you with compliments, but it never gets too much. For all of its cuteness, this CD occasionally snipes you with teasing remarks. Like Yuu suddenly saying that “he had the opportunity to confirm that you lost weight last night”.

One thing that annoyed me a bit were the stops between the tracks and some of the transitions between the scenes. They often felt very abrupt, which kind of breaks the flow of this otherwise very nice CD. This wasn’t the case at all before, nor is it in later entries of the series, so I wonder what happened.

I was really looking forward to the freetalk, because the others I heard were pretty long and mostly hilarious. But Shimono-san his comment is only 3 minutes (the others are closer to 10), and relatively serious. He simply talks about how he is not very good with being complimented.


Conclusion:
The stops are a bit annoying, but otherwise this is cute. Just be prepared for a few snipe attacks to the heart ♥
