News Post -Part 4-

Now that all of the Rejet news is out of the way (release dates for Kekkonroku and More,Blood have been added in the previous post btw) it is time to tackle the rest. I'm afraid it is going to become a bit random from here.

Like before, I have a lot to catch up on, so if I miss some details feel free to put them in a comment and I'll add them!



Meisaku Bungaku (warai)
After a long period of silence two new CDs have been announced for this lovable literature parody series.

The first one is おくのほそ道 ~そうだ、伊勢に行こう~ (oku no hosomichi ~sou da, ise ni ikou~, The Narrow Road to the Interior ~Yes, Let's go to Ise~) which will be based on Oku no Hosomichi, a famous work by Basho. The release date for this one is 2013.04.24.

The second CD is ドン・キホーテ ~中二病でも旅がしたい!~ (don quixote ~chiinibyou demo tabi ga shitai~, Don Quixote ~I want to travel even if I do have chuunibyou~) which will obviously be based on the story of Don Quixote. "chuunibyou" is a phrase that denotes something like puberty. It literally means "middle school grade 2 illness" so picture the kind of silly things teenagers say and do, as well as their complexes when they are about 14 and you are on the right track. I am guessing that the title is also a shout out to the anime "chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai". This CD is planned for a 2013.06.26 release.

The cast for both CDs is yet to be announced



Sasayaki Micchaku
This series is trying its best to please me or something, first Hosoya, and now vol.6 will be voiced by Sakurai Takahiro!

The title for the 6th CD is 名探偵・蜜之城月彦の密室ミステリー (meitantei mitsunojou tsukihiko no misshitsu mistery, "the locked room mystery of the great detective Mitsunojou Tsukihiko") and like I mentioned above Tsukihiko will be voiced by Sakurai Takahiro.

Tsukihiko is a writer as well as detective. He occasionally comes across a case while he stays at his hotel for long periods (IE. practically lives there). This time you are a witness in a case, so he starts to interrogate you....♥

As always, part of the CD will be recorded with the dummy head mic. The CD is planned for a 2013.04.24 release.





Toubousha
The official site for Toubousha vol.3 is now online. The character for this CD is Hino Haruto (CV: Toriumi Kousuke). He suddenly appears out of nowhere and forces you follow him. While you are forced to keep him company and act like you are on a date, he sometimes seems like he is running from something. He also carries around a suspicious syringe....

From the illustration I would have guessed at a story concerning jewellery, but the synopsis mentions a syringe so... something to do with drugs maybe? The CD will be released on 2013.03.27, so I guess that is when we'll find out!




42gami
Likewise, the official site for 42gami vol.3 is also online. The shinigami who is after your life in this CD is Xylophone (CV: Ishida Akira). The japanese spelling of his name is シロフォン (shirofon) btw.

Xylophone may reside in the human world, but he hates humans. The only human he interacts with is you (the listener) because he is in some way indebted to you. When he receives an order to eliminate a large number of humans he only reaction is that he is glad to receive such a mission "because he hates humans". Xylophone doesn't seem to have any trouble getting you involved in all of this either, so will you be able to stop him or not...?

Xylophone is described as the "new hope" of the shinigami world. You apparently met when he fond a wounded canary bird. His weapon of choice is a japanese sword.

The CD will be released on 2013.03.27 as well.



Double Score
While it is going to take a long while before all the games are released, Blue Moon is apparently starting a second CD series for Double score. "Double Score ~quarrel×love~" will be about arguing with your lover (and no doubt making up again in the end).

For now only the CDs for Suou Issei (CV: Tachibana Shinnosuke) and Todaka Yousuke (CV: Toriumi Kousuke) have been announced, but I am guessing that more CDs will be released along side of the upcoming games. Suou his CD will go on sale on 2013.03.29, while Todaka his CD will go on sale on 2013.04.26.

Interesting bit of information: the animate special page for Double Score lists the cast for the CDs as well. Only Tachibana Shinnosuke is listed for Suou his CD, but it looks like Seiya (CV:Hirakawa Daisuke) will be making a cameo appearance in Todaka his CD. And hot damn Suou... that cover is a huge change from your usual good guy image...




Yandere Heaven BLack
I don't normally post about BL works but I feel like I owe it to this series xD

Yandere Heaven BLack is getting a third release, titled 真誠学園芸能彼氏 編 (shinsei gakuen genoukareshi hen, "Shinsei Gakuen Idol Boyfriend Chapter" The theme this time is the battle between the main character (CV:Ousaka Ryouta) his current and his former boyfriend. A teaser site is online, but no further info until it opens.

  1. Thank you so much for this post! I was waiting for more info on both Toubousha and 42Gami, Toubousha specially, I'm excited that we might be getting a character who's actually guilty for a change!

    Also is it bad that I'm disappointed we're getting a new Yandere Heaven BLack but no news on the regular series? OTL

    1. No it is not xD

      But this means that the series is still alive in one way or another, so maybe, just maybe, we will see another release some day.

      If there is going to be a new release I hope they will bring the yandere levels back to the what they were though. The last few CDs were, sadly, not the best ones.

  4. Yeah more Toubousha!! I'm happy TwoFive managed to continue their series after such a note last year, hope they keep releasing over iTunes as well =D
    Been longing for the new Ojisama Senka volumes~

    Also... new Double Score drama CD series... since they are "milking" it so much, it's a sign sales are going very good, which sure pleases me <3
