Title: Soine Hitsuji CD vol. 1 Yasuomi 添い寝羊 CD vol.1 恭臣
Price: 1,575 Yen (w/tax)

Seiyuu: Okiayu Ryoutarou 置鮎龍太郎
Illustrator: Kazuki Yone カズキヨネ
Sample track link: http://www.honeybee-cd.com/s_hitsuji/sh1.html
Company: BlackButterfly
First press limited edition comes with a seiyuu freetalk track.

BlackButterfly and Honeybee team up to bring us a series of 4 CDs where your audio boyfriend/husband would whisper sweet nothings into your ears and count sheep to lull you to sleep. The series is recorded with the dummy-head-mic for more tantalising and realistic audio sensation that made BlackButterfly’s Soine Kareshi (Sleepy Boyfriend) series so successful.

All the characters will be illustrated by Kazuki Yone カズキヨネ, character designer and illustrator of beautiful bishies in Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan, Hiiro no Kakera and many popular otome games. I hope they make dakimakura of the characters in Soine Hitsuji cos this megane guy is gorgeous! :D~

Vol 1. character setting: Yasuomi’s occupation is an announcer. He is your husband who is a domineering and perfectionist type. アナウンサーをしている「亭主関白な旦那様」.

The sample track on the official sounds promising and he doesn’t seem domineering -at all- ^^;; I’m not sure about the sheep counting though. Have you listened to it yet?

Volume 2 of the CD starring Fujiwara Keiji 藤原啓治 is planned next (31 August 2012)

Title: Soine Hitsuji CD vol. 2 Yuuichi 添い寝羊 CD vol.2 優一
Price: 1,575 Yen (w/tax)
Date available: 31 August 2012
Seiyuu: Fujiwara Keiji 藤原啓治
Illustrator: Kazuki Yone カズキヨネ
Sample track link: http://www.honeybee-cd.com/s_hitsuji/sh2.html
Company: BlackButterfly
First press limited edition comes with a seiyuu freetalk track.

Yuuichi’s character setting is a calligraphy teacher who has a lively and gentle personality. He is the listener’s boyfriend and you’re staying together. The sample track sounds playful and fun. But I think casting Fujiwara Keiji may limit his mass appeal though. Fujiwara Keiji is often cast as father-figure characters lol~ Though, I absolutely adore him in Aoi no Exorcist. :D

The character illustration is gorgeous. I’m drooling at his yukata-clad loveliness and that sexy mole at the corner of his mouth.

Vol. 3 and 4 will be voiced by Kishio Daisuke 岸尾だいすけ and Shimono Hiro 下野紘 respectively.

There’s also a FREE iPhone app similar to the one released for Soine Kareshi :)

You don’t need a Japanese iTunes account to download it. I’ll post more detail about it later but if you can’t wait, here’s the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleepy-boyfriend-soine-hitsuji/id536073102?mt=8

  1. I bought Vol. 1 when it came out a while back and enjoyed it, but sheep-counting gets a bit old. Despite the dreamy character design I was not enthused with the Vol. 2 sample track on the site so I may skip buying it, but I think they are doing a special set box like the Soine Kareshi ones so that may influence me..

    1. @Prettyvillain: Icic, thanks for sharing your thoughts! *o* I’m hoping for their dakimakura covers and may be swayed by the special set box like you too. I’m looking forward to hear the voice sample of vol. 3 by Kishio Daisuke. They just released the cover art. Beautiful!

  2. lol i remember the sheep counting! Haven’t heard one of those in a long while sense miracle noton. XD

    Love the illustrations~<3
