The format for this CD is like the previous drama CD. The first track has a parody of a current TV show, tracks 3,5 are Magical Idol Unit Chika-rins drama, 3 vocals, 3 karaokes, and a commerical for the other CDs.

I can't figure out what show the first drama track. It sounds like they're doing a parody on "The Real World" or "Road Rules" but since I haven't watched those shows much, I'm not really sure. The girls and Kaoru are basically on a road trip where they travel around and have some adventures. Every-so-often, one of the characters would be isolated as they explain their thoughts for that particular interaction or event.

The first Chika-rins drama has them becoming acting police chief for a day. Unfortunately, Chika-rins and Mayu are double booked again, so they both are asked to share the duty. Their first call is a pervert in the Subways, so they do some investigation. When they find the guy, they give chase, the Chika and Mayu start competing with each other and forget about the criminal. The second drama, the last one (finally!), has them saving the world. A meteor is going to strike earth tomorrow, so using their magical powers, and some help from veteran idols, Tina, Taeko, and Aoi (who are also magical girls) come save the day. But it turns out that the meteor is actually just Miyabi's pet wanting to visit her.

The last track, the commercial is my favorite. It has Aoi being a clerk at a hamburger joint, but at the same time trying to sell the Aiao CDs. Kao buys one, but using her aggressive saleswomanship, convinces him to buy all the CDs.

Now for the vocals. Mayu's song is good, but I don't think it really fits her character. Taeko's song is enjoyable too. However, the cake has to go to Aoi and Kaoru's song. Yes, they sing a duet. AND DAMN! IT'S SOOOO BAD! Ayako Kawasumi was never a good singer, but when you put Seiichiro Hoshi together, it's just horrible. I'll just leave that out for my evaluation.
