Kannou Mukashibanashi Portable Updates

The website for Kannou Mukashibashi Portable is updated!

Here're the stories they'll be covering in the game:

• Hosokawa Tadaoki (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke)
• Leda and the Swan (CV: Kondou Takashi)
• Hansel & Gretel (CV: Toriumi Kousuke)
• Issun Boushi (CV: Suzuki Tatsuhisa)
• The Little Mermaid (CV: Sakurai Takahiro)
• Banchou Sarayashiki (CV: Shimono Hiro)

THEY INCLUDED TWO OF MY FAVOURITEST STORIES (in bold) ZOMG YAYS. \:D/

Actually I've listened to all of the stories except for Issun Boushi and Banchou Sarayashiki. Quite excited to see how they'll game-ify it! I assume they're gonna lengthen the story from the mere 15-20 minutes they had on the drama CD. (What am I saying they obviously have to wtf.)

Personally, I'm hoping they'd retain the implied "haa-haa" scene in Hosokawa Tadaoki's story lol. That was just...haa haa. XD Hirakawa is not my favouritest seiyuu but lately his voice is starting to grow on me. His haa haa voice is just...haa haa lol. ←　わけ分からん。

Okay, seriously I'm really concerned that they may "tame" the stories since it's being ported to PSP. Because I read that Sony has some sort of rules about no pr0n in games for their consoles or something? Not sure about how they set the definitions though...but this one should be okay...right? I mean it's just implied haa-haa. :P

Ugh can't wait for the game to be released! XP

Kannou Mukashibanashi Portable

I don't know if there're any drama CD addicts out there reading this blog but anyway I just found out today that Otomate is going to be releasing a PSP game for the Kannou Mukashibanashi series omggg!!!

For those who don't know, Kannou Mukashibanashi is a drama CD series produced by 5pb.Inc.. It's basically a story-telling kind of drama CD, where the seiyuus narrate out well-known tales from the past (including acting out the dialogues). And as the title implies, these stories are all given a slightly(?) sensual twist hurhurhur. /sukebe

Also, one of the main features of this drama CD series is the use of dummy head mic for recording. Meaning that the seiyuu will talk to different parts of the "head" during recording, resulting in a more realistic sound effects. So if the character is suppose to whisper into your left ear, you will feel exactly as if someone is whispering into your left ear! The first time I experienced it, I seriously just went "!!!" and squirmed while covering my ear haha.

A total of 7 CDs have been released so far, and each features a unique theme. For example, the 2nd CD features Andersen fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid and the 4th CD (for Starry Sky fans, you might be interested to know that Kazuaki did the cover art for this CD) features Grimm fairy tales such as Hansel & Gretel (how would you like to hear Hansel going 「僕の可愛いグレーテル。」 haha incest zomg).

Anyway, back to the original focus of the post, OMG CAN'T WAIT FOR OCTOBER TO COME!!! :D I seriously have no idea how the game is going to be like since the drama CDs is basically just normal storytelling. How the heck are they going to game-ify it??? Will they be using new stories or those that have been released on the CDs? If it's the latter, I assume they will use the same seiyuu cast??? Really looking forward to more details from Otomate! Currently, the website is still blank. (Also, lol at the genre they set for the game i.e. 朗読型AVG wut.)

Oh, and something I'm really really curious about: are they going to use dummy head mics for the game??? OH PLEASE DO. In fact, I wish they can use such mics for otome games. Imagine what will happen during the rabu scenes lol death from excessive nosebleed wtf.

Add: Okay, according to Kannou Mukashibanahi's production blog, it seems like one of the challenges of the game is to make the correct decisions to "unlock" the dummy head mic (OMG THEY ARE GOING TO USE IT YAY) recorded scenes. Wow. I hope this game inspires other game makers to use dummy head mics for otome games!
