Drift into Sleep: A Dream Shrine Maiden's Healing — Purified Body and Soul at an Otherworldly Shrine

First, let me mention the one and only flaw: it's short!! Only 34 minutes. But this is a free audio work. You might think, "No matter how short it is, you shouldn't complain about that, right?" So why am I bringing it up... it's because this work is so comfortable that it makes you want to listen to it more, and more, and more, forever. There's a saying: "If your hesitation is over the 'price,' buy it; if your reason to buy is the 'price,' don't." This work must be a case where something went wrong and a work that belongs in the former category ended up being sold as if it were in the latter. Wrapped in Kitou-san's reassuring voice, I felt very calm listening to this work. Sakuya-sama, the dream miko, is a very calm and somehow mysterious person. Led along by her gentle care, you doze off, feel comfortable, and end up healed. The ambient sounds don't get in the way of her voice either, and they're also a pleasant touch. There will surely be people who are bothered by them no matter what, but don't worry — there's also a version without sound effects included. As she speaks to you quietly at a steady rhythm, you get this strange feeling of leisurely drifting into a dream, truly dozing off... it's a mysterious work. If my wish could come true, I'd want the dream miko to heal me even more... it made me feel that way. I hope there's a sequel... For now, just try downloading it and see.

I listened through most of Kitou Akari-san's paid works and trial versions, and I think this free work has the best voice of them all. This work doesn't have the so-called "cheat techniques" for inducing sleep like whispering or ear cleaning, but this calm, steady tone of voice alone is more than enough to induce sleep, and true to the title, it can lead you to a comfortable, restful sleep. Her calm, low voice alone (of course the ambient sound is wonderful too) is enough to make you sleep deeply and feel healed. If there were a work with super close-distance voice using this voice, I would definitely buy it immediately without a doubt. 10 out of 10 stars!!!!!

This is a work where you truly feel as if your impurities are being purified through such gentle words and voice — it genuinely makes you feel that way. The voice and the role fit together so well that you really feel as though you've wandered into, or been invited into, a sacred place within a dream. Also, while the voice actress's voice and speaking manner are wonderful to begin with, her choice of words is so refined that you find yourself completely absorbed in listening. Before you know it, you'll have drifted off into peaceful sleep. The temperature of the water and the sound of the bell during the hospitality scenes are also extremely healing. I definitely recommend this to anyone carrying fatigue or troubles from the human world — let yourself be purified and cared for. There's no romance or heart-fluttering at all, but you get to experience a feeling of being forgiven on some grand scale, and your heart becomes lighter.
