Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello all,

Handy thing, this sub-forum of doom. Now I can ask a Tsubasa question without feeling guilty. whee

Not to condone potentially illegal downloading or anything, but I recently downloaded the Tsubasa soundtrack. Well, all I wanted was the first soundtrack but the only healthy torrent I could find was for a megafile including 4 soundtracks, 3 drama/character cds, and a whole mess of other stuff. I didn't bother with most of it, but I thought the drama/character cds might be like the Bleach character cds, which I like very much. Anywho, turns out they're a lot like a radio drama. I think. They're in Japanese (obviously), and I only know, oh about 20 words. Including Nani?!?, Sugoi!!, and shiro manju! xp

So I listened to parts, and there is this one section with Kurogane saying the vowels (Ah, Eh, UU, OO, Ah, Eh Ahhhooorrhhhhh!!! Seriously Hilarious.) And I can tell Fai is teasing him, and then he calls Mokona cute, and then Kurogane is pissed, and there's chasing and now I really want to know what is going on! But googling has not provided me with an answer, so I though I would ask you all. Any clue? The drama seems to be called, Ooukyuu no Machine.

I don't know if it helps, but the other cds have Touya and Yukito, and a serious sounding Fai and much talk of O-sama (Ou-sama?) (king. I think.)

Thanks for any help (random guesses, Ouiji board answers, transcripts -yeah, right!)

...D8 I wish I'd seen this a few months ago.

Anyway. I used to have links to text transcriptions, but people have since deleted them. But there are some nifty Youtube transcriptions starting here.

The basic story involves the gang attempting to win the king of the country's favor, by staging a play (the King in this world is Yukito, while Touya serves under him). I believe the goal is to allow the King to feel emotion (?), because he's in a weird, apathetic state. The funny thing about the play they put on is that it's similar to the journey - I think it even includes missing memories - with Syaoran, Fai and Kurogane fighting for the princess, for some random purpose. The writing is stiff, and Kurogane has trouble getting into it especially, but the real challenge is Syaoran and Sakura's, because the play concludes with a love confession.

Fumbling ensues, Syaoran can't act, Touya loves Yukito, etc. In the performing of the play, Sakura gets stuck on the confession, spills the whole story about missing memories to the King, who is so moved by the story, etc etc. I think they get a feather out of it? Either way, it's a cute little drama.
