[Yuri Voice Drama] Rain Voice Montage

Apparently there are about 100 rainy days a year, and she came to the house on almost all of them, keeping it up for years. When she was reunited with Yui-chan and said, "Oh...? Hello," holding back what must have been overflowing emotions, I was struck by what a devoted, plucky girl Kana-chan is. For a while, the two of them calling each other "you" felt a little strange to me, but thinking back on it, I remembered that when I was little, I used to play with kids at the park or other crowded places without ever asking their names, so it brought back a nostalgic feeling. Even though the actions she took to see that girl again someday made her come to hate rainy days, in the end she was rewarded for it, so I hope she comes to love both rainy days and sunny days, and that the two of them stay happy together from now on.

There's no fixed end to how long you can keep waiting for someone. The despair and setbacks Kana carried came through all the more strongly because of the weight of the story she had been bearing. From the very beginning, various facets of Kana were carefully built up bit by bit, which made her feel like an even more compelling character. What stood out to me in particular was how naturally the shifts were performed—from the mischievous, charming side she shows to Yui, to the moments where the mood turns serious. Even though she's a character with a huge range, I felt the performance was grounded in a deep understanding of who Kana really is at her core. She's usually lighthearted and playful, but she's also someone serious and weighty enough to keep waiting for one person for years—and it was the three-dimensionality of that performance that gave the whole work its charm. The rhythm of the two of them bouncing off each other early on was wonderful, and I was drawn into the story in no time. Yui is basically at Kana's mercy, but the delicate tone and rhythm—holding a faint hope while still unable to fully shake her doubts—was expressed so beautifully. This part is my favorite, and I've listened to it many times since release. The conversation exchanged in the rain has such a vivid sense of presence, and while it carries a somewhat unstable air, it also heightened my anticipation for what was to come. The sound of rain in the story functions both as a device that brings the two closer together and as something that carries an undercurrent of unease. The damp sense of impatience and forgetting, and the shock brought on by despair, lingered with me for a long time. Overall, I really preferred the way it leaned toward indirect, emotionally attuned expression rather than straightforward statements. Thank you for such a wonderful work. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I wondered if this was going to be some kind of mysterious story, and then the mood suddenly shifted...! I listened with a racing heart, wondering how it would all come together, all the way to the end. Kana-san's mischievous vibe and Yui-san being led around by it made for such pleasant banter. Heavy girls are the best. I enjoyed listening all the way through the bonus extra episode and the cast talk too.

I bought this work because I was drawn to Asami-san and Anzai-san. This was my first time buying a yuri work, but it was so wonderful that I really want everyone to give it a listen. The relationship deepens from a strange encounter—she takes an interest in a girl who talks to herself in front of the house every rainy day and decides to speak to her. That unique first meeting drew me in, and before I knew it, I had listened all the way to the end. Because it's a two-person voice work, the conversational tempo was great, and I really felt the feelings the two of them had for each other come through and sink deep into my heart. It was truly a wonderful work.

It was such a beautiful yuri work, one where you could feel the presence of the rain and even the air flowing between the two of them. Even though I was just listening to a story, I found myself feeling as if I were right there witnessing it. Combined with the delicate performances of both actresses, the sense of presence unique to ASMR made me marvel that voice alone could convey scenery and even temperature this vividly. Not just the words themselves, but even the breathing and the pauses became part of the story, drawing me deeply into the world of the work. And more than anything, I couldn't help but adore Kana, who had been so devoted and steadfast, waiting all that time. Because the story mainly unfolds from Yui's perspective, I found myself listening while wondering, "What was Kana feeling in that moment?" So I was really happy that the bonus prologue depicted the story from Kana's point of view as well. I felt how the same events could look so different just by changing perspective, and after learning what was in Kana's heart, I ended up listening all the way through from the beginning again. The cast talk after finishing the main story was also lovely. I got to hear behind-the-scenes stories from the recording and talk about the acting—it was the kind of enjoyment you can only get after fully savoring the main story, and overall it was an incredibly satisfying experience. The still slightly bashful "nice to meet you" exchange between Anzai-san and Asami-san was also very cute, and it made me smile without meaning to. I feel so happy to have encountered a work that is this devoted, gentle, a little bittersweet, and warm all at once. Anzai-san, Asami-san, and everyone at Under Lilium, thank you so much for bringing us such a wonderful work.

Rather than the common approach of conveying setup through text, it did a great job conveying each character's personality through voice and dialogue alone. The combination of voices really suited my taste, and the acting was wonderful! It was fun getting to see so many different emotions and the changes in their relationship in such a short time! I also liked that it wasn't just the two of them talking together—there were also solo perspective moments from just one of them. The bonus track was especially good, since it had exactly what I was hoping for. It was interesting hearing each actress's thoughts about her character in the cast talk. The casting was spot on. I felt like this is exactly the kind of voice a "heavy" girl should have. The script has room to grow to make the conversation flow a bit more naturally, but as a direction for a voice drama, I think it's really great!

I bought my first ASMR voice drama because one of my favorite voice actresses was in it. I really love the mood common in yuri works where both people want to get closer but can't quite gauge the distance between them, leading to missed connections. In this work, the setting of rainy days—where visibility is blurred and the air feels heavy compared to sunny days—matched that frustrating, mismatched relationship extremely well. The way the feelings the two of them held for each other grew through their interactions and near-misses felt very natural, and the scene toward the end where those feelings finally come pouring out gave a real sense of catharsis. On top of that, the added depth from Kana's bonus prologue fleshed out the scale of her emotions even further, which really boosted how convincing the whole work felt. That dampness, it's just too good. I'm glad this was the work that marked my first ASMR voice drama. Looking forward to what comes next!

This was my first time buying something in the ASMR genre. At first I had an image of it as "something like a book with audio attached," but the reality was completely different. The acting from both voice actresses was wonderful—even though it was just voices, the characters' expressions, gestures, sense of distance, and even the atmosphere of each scene naturally came to mind. The conversation started off a little awkward, with both of them clearly holding back, and it was carefully depicted how they gradually recalled their past relationship and opened their hearts to each other—I was drawn in by that shift in their relationship all the way to the end. The sense of presence unique to ASMR, combined with the two actresses' delicate performances, gave a striking sense of immersion, as if I were right there in the scene. In the cast talk, I also got to hear behind-the-scenes stories from the recording and talk about the acting—content you can only really enjoy after listening to the main story—and overall it was an extremely satisfying experience!

The mood is different from the previous work; this one is a story centered mainly on the protagonist's monologue. Cloudy skies, the sound of rain, sunny days. Meetings, promises, memories. Happy things, sad things, frustrating things, slightly embarrassing things. As various fragments of emotion and scenery piled up little by little, I felt as though I were quietly watching, from a bit of a distance, as the bond between the two of them slowly formed. The title, "Montage," fit perfectly—each individual scene overlapping until, in the end, it becomes one beautiful picture. I felt it was that kind of gentle, warm work. The unremarkable everyday life that everyone experiences once they become an adult. Living alone, working, going through each day while holding memories and promises deep in your heart. That kind of quiet daily life gradually gains color, sparked by an encounter on a rainy day. There's confusion, worry, and moments when your heart gets stirred up, but strangely, even that doesn't feel painful. Living together with someone. Living while thinking of someone. It made me feel once again that this is how people weave their lives together, little by little. Now that I've finished listening, I can say from the bottom of my heart that I'm glad I encountered this work—it's one I love dearly. Even though it depicts cold, rainy days, my heart feels strangely warm. Thank you so much for delivering such a gentle, beautiful story. To Anzai-san, Asami-san, and everyone at Under Lilium, my heartfelt thanks!

A mysterious woman who only appears on rainy days. She was a very heavy, clingy woman who couldn't forget a certain feeling and kept visiting their promised meeting place. One rainy day, I couldn't help but call out to her, curious. Not knowing that this was the door sealing away a past sin. I end up reuniting with that day. This is the story of Yuu Nagase, played by Kazuki Asami, who casually hooks up with a woman without thinking much of it, and the woman who gets hooked, Kana Koumura, played by Yukari Anzai. The story slowly depicts their rainy day episodes as the two gradually close the distance between them. It felt like their distance was already close, and the exchanges of words that allowed no room for evasion were superb. Kana's lines, cute yet full of an unwavering resolve never to let him escape, are irresistible. Yuu, flustered and cornered by her pressing, has such an alluring charm mixed with his fluster... I'm so envious, I want to be whipped like that too...
