Disc 4 of 12 of the Negima series. I don't know why they decided to have this CD be released a week earlier than the drama CD coming out...today! I would imagine it's be better if they were released on the same days, but ah well.

This CD has songs and dramas from three of Negi's students, Shina, Misa, and Madoka who are in the cheerleading club. The song they sing is really cute and lively (Ken Akamatsu says it's a lot like Su and Sara's duet in Love Hina). Both the melody and the lyrics are very fitting for three cheerleaders. This is the first Negima CD where I think the original mix is better than the remix. The remix adds more synthesized sounds and also a cheering crowd in the background. The original song is already upbeat enough that I think the remix just makes it more cluttered.

The drama track is pretty good. It has the three girls in a little pinch when they find out that they picked up the wrong clothes. Rather than having their cheerleading outfit for a performance coming up, they have some other student's clothes. They try to find it, but can't. Finally, Shina finds some cheerleading outfits lying around. They're a little small, but Shina says for them to go on with the show. While they're performing their song, their outfits start ripping at the seams.

The cast talk is pretty boring.

First edition comes with a Shina Sakurako tarot card.
