When do you usually listen to Otome CDs?

[orionsbestie]

I'm fairly new to drama CDs and situation voice CDs, but so far I've listened to them in the afternoons to relax, or at night but when it's night I never finish even half of the audio because I get sleepy way too quickly!

The other day though, I just played Ayato's first DL CD while I was cleaning!

 

[imonusi]

While cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry at home... I listen to R18, all ages, BL, and anything

I will continue to clean until I finish listening to this work! If you decide, you will make great progress!

When I listen to it when I go to bed, I fall asleep right awaylol

I think I'd like to ask because it's a waste of time when I'm out and traveling... It's kind of awkward, and I'm only looking forward to it at home

I'm exactly the same! I always try to use them to fall asleep because the voices are so soothing. But sometimes it backfires—if the dialogue gets a bit too intense, I end up wide awake instead

 

[Yui_Tsurata]

In the past I usually listen to it before going to bed or when I was totally free, didn't have to do anything. But now I listen when working, after I completed my task. In short I tried to not doing anything when listening to situation CD so that I can fully concentrate and immerse.

I used them to make me fall asleep. And sometime my escape to reality.

 

[nerim-w]

I listen in the evening after I'm done with all my responsibilities for the day like after going to uni, placement and studying!! Theyre like my mandatory "phone before bed" activity before I go to sleep, I browse AS first or check my library for any unlistened CDs and then relax

I understand very well~!

If you listen to it while you sleep and make a loud voice, or if there is a loud sound effect, you may wake up in fear. I've also had a time when my heart was pounding and my eyes were clearlol

 

[Podm953]

Afternoon listening is honestly underrated though! That's my sweet spot too—especially on weekends when I can just curl up on the couch with some tea and actually stay awake for the whole thing. It hits different when you're fully conscious to catch all the little voice inflections and breathy moments

 

[gaysian]

Before bed or when I'm playing another game that doesn't require listening like Honkai Star Rail, or when I'm doomscrolling through twitter.

 

[myakutan]

same as above. i like using them as background noise when im doing a task that doesn't require focus
i know an cd is good when it makes me go 'wait a second' and stop what im doing to fully just focus on the audio :p

 

[mikiuu]

I usually listen to otome CDs at night. It's way easier for me to fully immerse myself in the stories then. Some slice-of-life plots are super soothing, they practically put me to sleep—honestly I can't fall asleep without putting one on, haha! I've also noticed I tend to forget most of the content quickly after listening at night. I end up replaying CDs with unremarkable storylines over and over again.

 

[藍色水珠]

I like listening to otome CDs before bed, especially all-ages tracks like hypnosis, sheep counting, and ASMR with background music, which helps me fall asleep.

Occasionally, I listen to tracks for ages 18 and up. Sometimes, when the male lead suddenly shouts, I'm startled awake by the voice actor's yelling just as I'm about to drift off.

我喜歡睡前聽乙女CD，全年齡的例如催眠、數羊、純背景音樂聲ASMR作品,有助於入睡

偶爾聽18歲以上的作品,有時候聽到男主角忽然大呼小叫,快睡著時,還會被聲優的喊聲嚇醒.

 

[Kaktusik69]

I only listen to 18+ otome CD and, well... haha...

 

[Mimomi]

I usually listen to it right before bed while wearing headphones, because everyone in my house is already asleep. That way no one knows what I'm up to muhehehehe

Haha I get that totally! I can't help making weird grinning faces if I listen to them during the day.

 

[Ant_076]

These days, I listen to them occasionally. When I was younger, I loved them—especially drama CDs recorded with dummy head microphones, which were incredibly soothing, almost like listening to ASMR. I also used to enjoy horror-themed otome CDs. Nowadays, though, I don't listen to them as much; I'll only give them a listen every now and then if a voice actor I like has released a drama CD.

 

[0123456789]

I listen to before going to bed, after finishing everything I need to do for the day.
Because I want to fall asleep feeling happy

 

[hashi]

I listen to my otome CDs in bed before going to sleep at night.
When it comes to R18 audio, the thought of listening to it outside and having the sound leak out makes me feel like I'd die of embarrassment, so I only ever listen to it at home

 

[lunitawish]

I listen to otome as I fall asleep. They honestly make for the perfect ASMR experience the voice and tone are incredibly relaxing (´∀`)

 

[dogiwall]

When I do work, drawing, doing chores, and doomscrolling like others mentioned. While some of them do help me relax, I have a hard time sleeping to any audio and my earbuds are not comfortable to wear in longer periods, so sadly I can't fall asleep to them lol.

Sometimes I like to listen to them while on long trips in the outside world as well. But I definitely won't listen to the R18 ones in public for obvious reasons lmao.

 

[snowmika55]

I also listen to r18 only before sleep at night and alone. it really helps me fall asleep faster

 

[usagii]

i usually listen to them while cooking or cleaning, and while gaming. i started to not listen before bed because id end up falling asleep and wake up in the middle of the night wondering where my earbuds went and i would miss out on the story and have to relisten to it during the day anyway TvT
