What got you into Otome drama CDs?

[wanlop]

I'm curious about what made everyone start listening to Otome drama CDs!


For me, it all started with listening to ASMR on YouTube, and I randomly stumbled upon a teaser clip for a Drama CD. I was hooked right away and have been listening ever since!


Was it a voice actor you like, a game you played, or something else that got you interested?

I had a phase where I was obsessed with a character and his voice actor, so I went and looked at his other works and otome drama cds were some of the things he did! I think this was around the time I was also getting into Japanese otome games, so it was perfect for me

Me and my friends were ironically listening to english boyfriend ASMR as a sleepover activity because we thought it was funny as hell But then i had a thought... what if it was in japanese? Started listening to clips on youtube by myself which is where i stumbled onto otome drama cds... then i transitioned to soundcloud (man, those were the times ) and now here i am unironically listening to and enjoying these cds

I used to listen to ASMR videos on YouTube too =)) Then I came across some drama CDs along the way, but it's only recently that I've actively started learning about them and finding the right websites to listen to :Ddd

Back then, a lot of drama CDs were uploaded to youtube and soundcloud lol. I think because my playlist contained a lot of BL or otome anime, youtube recommended the drama CD section to me by accident. I listen to all of them without fail lol

Though they're quite secretive with their titles (to avoid copyright), so sometimes I need to search the cover image to know the title.

There was a time when I watched the anime adaptation of Diabolik Lovers and became obsessed with crazy, unhinged "yandere" characters. After that, I went down a rabbit hole and discovered a whole new world of otome games and otome drama CDs

But since I got into all of this through an anime where all the male leads were absolute assholes, I guess it's only natural that my taste in drama CDs has now become exclusively about assholes too lmao.

I was randomly scrolling through the net many years ago, learned that drama cds are a thing, gave it a try and realized "yeah, that's the stuff"

It was after getting into otome-centric media that drama & situational CDs are kind of a natural extension to it Honeybee's Starry Sky Seiza Kareshi, Seiza Danna series - yeah it might have been Honeybee

I got into it because I joined a group that uploaded otome drama CDs, and then I started looking for more stuff online
