Like the drama CDs from first season, this CD has a few song tracks and a few drama tracks. There are a total of 10 tracks, 1,3,5,10 are drama (the last one is a commercial for the other CDs), and 3 songs, both vocal and karaoke. The songs are sung by Tina, Miyabi, and the Chika-rins (Chizuru and Natsuki included).

The first track is the standout track of the CD. It's a 20 minute episode where Kaoru appears on a parody of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" with questions from the manga. He answers various questions to reach the goal of winning one million yen. He gets three lifelines, the audience, phone a friend, and a confidential Aoi video. The best is the phone a friend. Question is, "In chapter 89, while Kaoru was sleeping, what did Tina do to him?" The phone a friend goes to the Sakuraba mansion where Tina, Chika, and Miyuki are waiting. Miyuki freaks out at the question and demands that Tina explain herself. Final Aiao?

The second drama is the first out of four segments. Chika is a "has been" idol until she gets brought back in to team up with Natsuki and Chizuru to form the Magical Idol Unit, Chika-rins. The second segment has them being double booked to do an opener for the season's first baseball game with the other idol in town, Miyuki. In order to settle the score, there's a baseball game between the two magical idol factions. I never really enjoyed the Magical Chika stuff, even from first season. However, I really like their theme song, which is one of the included songs.

While I don't like Chika's voice in the song, the melody to the Chika-rin's theme song is pretty catchy. Tina's song is okay, but her song from first season is a lot better. Miyabi's song sounds like she was singing at a karaoke bar.
