Ahh, the last of the Drama Theater CDs. Unlike the 3 previous CDs in the series, this CD is a compilation of humors short dramas that were, according to the liner notes, aired from July to December of 2002 on Radio Osaka. They're about 8 minutes a piece anf feature characters from the game. As they mention at the end of each and every track, these stories are fiction and have no bearing to the original Kiminozo plot.

In order to understand and get some of the jokes, you have to play the game. My favorite part is at the end of track 4 where Manami appears and Takayuki runs off screaming (probably one of the best screams I've heard in a while, even if the sound was tweaked). However, I would classify most stories as good, but nothing extraordinary.

1. すかいてんぷるへようこそ (Welcome to Sukaitenpuru): Takayuki is sick so Mitsuki and Haruka substitute for him at the restaurant where he works in. Haruka and MayuMayu seem to be getting along fine, but Mitsuki, like Takayuki, has conflicts with Ayu.

2. 仁義なき戦い (An Unfair Fight): Akane and Haruka are battling it in a contest where if Haruka looses, the captive Takayuki has to pay for Akane and Mitsuki's trip to the swimming pool.

3. 嵐を呼ぶ男 (A Man Who Causes a Storm): Ken-san is off in Hokkaido so the restaurant has a substitute manager who has an obsession with the female employees. He and Akane apparently know each other, but Akane doesn't particularly like him.

4. そして誰もいなくなった (And Then No One Was Left): Takayuki and Shinji tell the girls some ghost stories and then try to scare them as they're in the hospital at night. However, the girls start acting strange as if were possessed and Takayuki sees Manami Homura who tells him "you need punishment." (relates to her ending in the PC game).

5. チェンジリング (Change Ring): Ayu and Ken-san switch bodies and so Ayu speaks with a slow and deliberate tone and Ken-san uses all of Ayu's catch phrases. They each discuss their experience being in the body of the opposite sex.

6. HANABI: The gang is out playing with fireworks. While Haruka doesn't like the loud ones, she loves sparklers and goes crazy with them.

7. キャットピープル (Cat People): MayuMayu passes out and awakes with another personality. Rather than her timid self, she's an aggressive and rude person, even more than Ayu.

8. 禁じられた遊び (Forbidden Play): Haruka, Takayuki, Haruka, and the gang from the restaurant are having some hot pot/shabu shabu. They have some issues with food that hasn't died yet and later, they try some of Ken-san's mushrooms which give them the giggles.

9. グランプルー (Grand Blue): Takayuki's missing clothes from his bag so he's on a search for his stuff. He slowly finds his stuff in each of the girl's bag.

10. トゥルーライズ (True Lies): An action adventure where Haruka and the other girls lead secret lives as antenna people (people with hair that sticks up) battling Ayu with their "antenna (laser) beam." But, it was just Takayuki's dream.
