women's festival cd
The Dragonaut Women's Festival CD was created in conjunction with Animage
magazine. It was a limited order item, only available to order by mail if
you were a Japanese resident who had obtained a coupon from the January
2008 issue of Animage. A Men's Festival CD was also available to purchase
with a coupon from the magazine's February issue. The Women's Festival CD
was mailed to purchasers in July '08 and being the idiot fangirl I am, there
was a copy in my hands within a fortnight. Was it worth spending $100 on
the damn thing? Don't ever ask me that question again.
The Women's Festival CD runs for just under 25 minutes and features only female characters from the series. It was packaged in a deluxe CD case with a thick booklet (detailing cast and characters) thrown in for good measure. The CD itself contains only one track that plays out like an extended episode of the series. Toa, unfamiliar with Valentine's Day, finds herself being tutored in the customary activities associated with the celebration by her friends. At least that's how it starts — the whole thing ends in a ski trip lesbian chocolate orgy.
Kitajima is one of the many characters to play a role in the drama that unfolds. She teaches Toa (and the others) how to make chocolate before accompanying the girls on their ill-fated ski trip. Kitajima's status as a spinster seems to be a particularly sore point here, with Asano Mayumi really hamming up her bitterness. The CD is terribly silly (even for Dragonaut) and not recommended to those unfamiliar with the series (as it's quite hard to follow).
Tracks are provided as samples — purchase the originals. Direct-linking to these files is not appreciated (don't do it)
