The drama CD for Innocent Sin (with a bridge to Eternal Punishment). A very, very special piece of merchandise put out to amuse the fans. In fact, fans helped write some of the tracks and contributed art to the CD booklet! (Mikawa Beruno and Yuuki Shinichi are definitely doujinshi artists.)
This page is just to give you an (mostly paraphrased) idea what you're listening to. Lyrics are taken from the CD booklet directly.
TRACK ONE: [Stigma: (holy mark)] - Tadashi Satomi
"Everyone...please, forget all about me..."
This contains the dialogue from the very beginning of Eternal Punishment, when Tatsuya is at Araya Shrine talking to the old lady about how he's forgotten something important, and how he can never forget his sins. Tatsuya remembers everything, and talks about the mark of Nyarlathotep on his hand is a sign of his sin.
The second part contains the dialogue from Ulala's flashback at the end of Eternal Punishment, where she's talking to Maya in a restaurant about how she's not a skank, she just has no luck with guys. She scolds Maya for still thinking about the Deja-Vu Boy, and Maya protests that it's not like that, but she can't forget about it; it was the first time she'd met him, but she felt like she'd always known him. This time, you can hear Maya's thoughts as she's dozing off; she's thinking about the Deja-Vu Boy, and how soon after she met him, she got a mysterious bruise on her chest, like a stigma. (They seem to use the same word for Tatsuya's mark and Maya's bruise - '?'.)
The third part is Tatsuya on his bike, thinking that he'll protect her this time, he won't fail again, etc etc. Nyarlathotep hears this and is amused, reminding Tatsuya that he's the shadow of all humans, the puppeteer of fate...
TRACK TWO: OPEN YOUR HEART ~ UP-RIFTING HOUSE MIX (Maya's Theme)
Original music: Kenichi Tsuchiya
Lyrics: Toshiko Tasaki
Vocals and lyrics: Rie Ishiyama
Open your heart and show your other side
You can change your destiny
Try yourself, try yourself and cry out loud, baby
The future is waiting for you
If you are thinking about your life
Remember me
I can listen to what you want to say, Baby
When you are alone in the darkest night
Maybe I can give you a ray of light
When I think about you, you look so tired
Because of the many heavy loads you are carry
You should let them go if you want to
You want dreams come true
TRACK THREE: [Nameless] - Toshiko Tasaki
If you've talked to the Nameless Piano Player, you might have picked up that he has something of a weird obsession with numbers and counting. So in this track, Igor can't remember how many Tarot cards you need to summon particular Personae, and Nanashi-kun has to remind him. It's just silly to imagine that Igor, the master of the Velvet Room, isn't as omniscient and perfect as he seems, and he's just a crazy, forgetful old man in this track. *laugh*
"How many cards do you need to summon Kabandha?"
"192 cards."
"192, huh...heh heh heh...192..."
Original music: Masaki Kurokawa
Lyrics: Toshiko Tasaki
Vocals: Kousuke Toriumi [Eikichi's voice actor]
Lyrics from booklet; translation by Ka
| 甘い唇 君だけのモノさ 薔薇の花のように 咲き妖しく 俺を狂わせて Oh My Honey君に 伝えよう今すぐ この俺の熱い鼓動 震わせて 「Hey! 最高だぜ! あっはぁん! これはミッシェルからのプレゼントだ 受け取れ!ラブビーム!!」 | The only sweet lips are yours
They bloom like a rose and They drive me crazy Oh my honey, I'll tell you somethin'! Real soon now my sexy beat Will leave you trembling (Hey, this rocks! A-haaaan~! This is a present from Michel-sama! Take it! Luv beam!) |
TRACK FIVE: [The Case of the Rumored Hot Springs Voyeur] - Shinichi Yuuki
A very special track. It starts off with the group spending times in a hot spring that they'd heard rumors about. (The guys and girls are in separate springs, separated by a wall.) Maya and Lisa compliment each other's bodies extravagantly; Maya says Lisa's got nice proportions and looks like a model, and Lisa giggles and says she's jealous of Maya's huge breasts. Yukino dryly comments that she's jealous of them both, and Maya giggles and says that Yuki's cool in a masculine way.
On the other side, Eikichi's extravagantly complimenting Tatsuya's nice proportions, and saying he looks like a model. Tatsuya says, "Well, I could say the same about you, you're not so bad yourself...by the way, who are you?" (Eikichi's washed off all his makeup, of course.) Eikichi splashes around, declaring that he's Tatsuya's eternal rival, doesn't he recognize Michel-sama's face?
Tatsuya: Actually, without makeup -
Eikichi: NO! DON'T SAY IT!
Tatsuya: You *really* look like your dad.
Eikichi: NOOOOO!!
On the other side, to cheesy pr0n music, Eikichi and Tatsuya are up to...something.
Tatsuya: I said, s, stop it, Eikichi! If that gets wet...!
Eikichi: Houuuu! So that means that's your weak spot, so let's get it NICE AND WET!
Tatsuya: Stop it! Don't play around like that, Eikichi! A---ah, don't!
*strange noises from Eikichi*
Tatsuya: "Getting...weaker...ahh....*" (note: this line is literally "energy's escaping" and is used in just about every pornographic yaoi doujinshi there is around the time of penetration. Hand to god.)
Maya: *clucks her tongue*
Yukino seems shocked. "Is that....? I knew it..."
Lisa is hyperventilating. "Fan ah! No way! My Ching-yan's getting his Special Place violated by that pervert Captain Underwear!"
Maya giggles evilly. "Are you sure that he hadn't lost it already before now?"
Lisa screams and starts running for the wall, presumably stark naked. "Keh he! Ching-yan, I'll save you!" She starts climbing, and Maya comments on how nice it is to be so young (and energetic).
"I told you, Eikichi, if you get Vulcanus's shoulder-flames wet, he'll disappear."
Eikichi: Oh, sorry, I thought I'd give you a hand since you helped me wash my Rhadamanthus...(sees Ginko's head over the dividing wall) HEY! GINKO, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? YOU PERVERT! VOYEUR!"
Eikichi: Huh? A voyeur? He's got a bare face (without makeup)....HEY, THAT'S ME! YOU GUYS, TELL HIM IT'S NOT ME!!
Maya: I don't know that bare-faced guy! ♥
Original music Kenichi Tsuchiya
Lyrics Toshiko Tasaki
Vocals Minami Hayama
(booklet lyrics translated from Cantonese into Japanese, presumably; English translation by King Leo)
| Itsumo anata no koto kangaeru tabi ni Mune no oku ga KYUN to oto (o) tateteiru Madono sotonagamete kaze ni yurareteru Omoi no hito tsuzuku te no hiraninosete Amai yume no naka de dakishimerare nagare Doko ni iku toki mo itsumo soba ni iru wa Omoi kasoetemo kazoe kirenaihodo Anata todoketai kono kimochi o sugu ni |
Whenever I think of you I hear my heart tightening within my chest I gaze out the window, you're swaying in the wind Beloved, take me in the palm of your hand I flow along, held by you within a sweet dream I'm always beside you whenever you go Even if I count my feelings, I'll never be able to count them all Soon, I want you to know how I feel |
TRACK SEVEN: [A Man's Feelings] - Masaki Kurokawa
Heh heh. Another very special drama track. You can read the rough translation here. You kind of have to hear it to get the full humor of it; they're showing each other their underwear! Nobody really seems surprised or shocked at Jun's choice of underwear, not even Tatsuya.
Eikichi: "Tatsuya....underwear. o.o"
Jun: "Yes. This is proof of a man's feelings. :D"
Tatsuya: "It's.......a manliness........thing. o.o"
Well. In this track, Jun is looking up the horoscopes of his male friends. First he looks up Eikichi's - Scorpio - and comments on how the Scorpio is a dark type, who's good as a bodyguard or spy, with leadership abilities ("well, he is the Boss of Kasu HS...") and how Scorpio has best compatibility with Cancer ("hahaha, isn't that Maya?!") Then he moves onto Tatsuya - "TACCHI IS! born on 8/21 - THAT'S-A-LE-O! ♥" As I recall, the qualities that he reads about are that Leos are strong and proud, not wanting to ask anyone for help, and so on. Then he looks up Leo's compatibility with other signs, and gets...."Libra.........HUH? *growl* BUT, but, Leo has GOOD compatibility with Aquarius! Ha ha ha ha!" (I personally love the insane laugh here.)
Then he decides to check his compatibility with Eikichi and Tatsuya - using blood-type compability, since the old-fashioned horoscopes don't seem to be going his way. ^_~ Turns out that by blood type, he's far more compatible with Tatsuya than with Eikichi, and this sends him off into his Happy Place, humming and laughing evilly. Lisa's like, "Jun, are you calculating horoscopes AGAIN?"
Basically, this track has Jun being more insane and more gay than he actually is in the game. I think I read on some Jun fanpage that that Jun acts pretty normally in the game itself, and the only time he's really flamingly gay is on these drama tracks - and I fully agree. This particular drama track was written by the music composer for the game, so...it falls on the official side of things, doesn't it?! Aw, but his insane laughter is so cute! <3
TRACK NINE: X TRIP ~ X RE-CONSTRUCTION (Jun's/Joker's theme, if you listen closely)
Original Music Masaki Kurokawa
TRACK TEN: [Bomb Shelter Imitation Hell] - Shinichi Yuuki
The group is in the bomb shelter, and they have a problem - Tatsuya can't do a convincing bike imitation anymore. This is...a problem, so they brainstorm on what to do now. Eikichi suggests that everyone else do imitations, and Lisa tells him that's a dumbass idea, but Maya tells everyone to try. The upshot is basically that everyone *sucks* (Lisa has Eros do a "Maiden Imitation" which makes no sense, and so on), and Tatsuya has to come up with a new imitation - he does a Lisa imitation. If you want to hear Tatsuya and Vulcanus talk in high-pitched squeaky voices and go "A-ha~~~n!" in the Seduction combo, this is the track for you. *laugh*
Another highlight is earlier on, when Lisa calls Eikichi her usual insult, "Undie Boss." This upsets Rhadamanthus. "What is this? I am thou, thou art Underwear? I am *underwear*?" Eikichi nervously tells "my Rhaddy" to ignore Lisa. :D
TRACK ELEVEN: [Police Dog Bobby-Kun's Situation] - Toshiko Tasaki

TRACK TWELVE: I'M IN YOU ~ ANOTHER NIGHT GROOVE MIX
Original music: Toshiko Tasaki
Lyrics: Yoshiharu Ohta
Vocals: Sayori Miya
Scat: Rie Ishiyama
It's real not a dream
I'm in you
You are in me
Don't be scared
You have no fear
There is no pain
I'm ready to play
It's real not a dream
Don't be scared
You have no fear
I'm in you
There is no pain
I'm ready to play
TRACK THIRTEEN THROUGH FIFTEEN: [The Terrifying Velvet Room, Chapters 1-3] - Toshiko Tasaki, Tadashi Satomi, Tsutomu Tanimoto(?)
TRACK SIXTEEN: TRUTH I NEED ~ CLASSICAL FANTASY MIX
Original music: Kenishi Tsuchiya
Lyrics: Cathy
Vocals: Don MacCow
Pictures left behind in flashing tides
That holds the key to learn the truth you need
Find a place inside between the lines
Of what you need and capture beauty
In the breath of night
Cars and streetlamps collide
Like a dream
Like a stream
Leaving the trails behind
On the moonlight beach
Lovers hand-in-hand reach
Jeweled skies
Spirits high
With heart their tongues will speak
Take all these treasure in
Frame them up on the wall
Can't you see?
Every little thing has its own story to tell
Cherish moments sweet
Snapshots of what will be
Words of past
Thoughts that last
Remember souls are to keep
Memories fade through
Lost in colors untrue
Seasons change
People change
If only some stayed the same
Always on my mind, the Muse in Rhyme
That holds the key to learn the truth I need
Find a place inside between the lines
Of purity and capture beauty
TRACK SEVENTEEN: [Ching-yan's Imitation Corner] - Mikawa Beruno

This is THE most special track on the CD. This is a rough summary from memory; don't take this as the 100% accurate translation. (Although I'm sure it's at least 90% correct; I can't remember one or two lines, but that's it. I also tried to get some of the super-suggestiveness of the lines in; it's easier when you don't have to say WHAT'S moving, for exampke. XD)
"Jun...."
"It's...my first time..."
"Mine too."
"What? That can't be true..."
"Don't worry."
"It's so hard...it's impossible..."
"It'll be all right."
"But!"
"Look. It's stirring."
*suspicious gasps from Jun*
"Go on, touch it."
"No...I'm scared to..."
*more gasping and moaning from Jun and Tatsuya*
"Very...soon now...."
"Yeah, I can tell..."
"....here it comes...!"
"Hurry!"
"Don't....look away...."
".......a~~n!"
*chirp chirp chirp*
"Ah, cute! The chick hatched! Look, look, Ching-yan!"
"It's the first time I've seen something like this, I'm all excited!"
"Me too!"
"But Ching-yan, why are we watching a chick hatch here?"
