BLCD – Kotonoha No Hana rant [SPOILER ALERT]
Thanks to my dear friend, Ysh-chan for recommending this blcd, entitled Kotonoha no Hana 【言ノ葉ノ花】original author/work Sunahara Touko, to me. Furthermore, I was kinda…really, badly in need of a new drama CD to listen to, so her recs really saves me from searching for a new blcd. The seiyuu, of course, her favorites; Ono Daisuke x Hiroshi Kamiya. To be honest, this is my first time listening to OnoD/HiroC as a pair in ‘BLCD’. Yes note that ‘BLCD’ and as a ‘PAIR’.
This drama CD is unique than other CD Drama I have listened before. The plot is about a man, name Yomura Kazuaki whom miraculously be able to listen to people’s heart/mind 3 years ago. The next day after he proposed to his lover, he was able to listen to his lover’s thought thus the incident made him to distrust others. I won’t blame him for this, cause if I were in his shoes, I probably will do the same. This resulting him to quit his job and work in, if I’m not mistaken, a computer store as a promoter.
This is where he met his other half…or soon to be; (=P) Hasebe Shuichi(?) I’m not really sure, cause sometimes I heard HiroC called him Hasabe Shoichi. Since he can read the person mind, he immediately knows that Hasebe love him, though at first he was in denial. Maybe he heard him wrong. Thus he using another method to reconfirmed it, and he knows he is not wrong and things started to blooms from there. Congratulation Yomura! LOL
Anyway, due to the incident where Yomura listening to Kana’s, Hasebe’s sister, boyfriend’s thought about how he really didn’t care about Kana, he just wants the money and he already have a wife and kids, (in another word, a Marriage Swindle) and he confronted them, thus he spilled everything to Hasebe when he come to have a word with him.
This where the angst starts. Well, most people won’t believe anything like that, even Me,Myself and I will take that as a joke. Things happens, and Yomura finally decided to resign and went somewhere far, where he can’t read other people’s ugly thought.
I really love this scene where he and Hasebe exchanging text (SMS). It was so beautiful eventhough the texts aren’t (it full of angst ~ A LOVE angst~). guess what?! Yes, Hasebe’s there, ready to pick his soon to be lover back…and they reconcile…. (feels like I’m telling a story to a kid instead) LoL and that ended CD1~ So basically, CD 1 story is about how Yomura life is and how he encounter with Hasebe and gain his happiness…. Not really!~ CD2 will conclude about his life.
In CD2, he no longer can look through people’s mind (after he having a ‘ero’ moment with Hasebe.) it’s quite funny cause he started to be able to listen to people’s thought after he proposed to his lover (and if I’m not mistaken, after making love too) and then 3 years later, after having the same activity with his newfound love, his ability to look through it was vanish.
He was quite ecstatic about it! He finally can live like a normal people. Where human’s thoughts no longer haunting him. His cheerfulness made everyone around him feels that he is a new person than yesterday. It was quite beautiful scene to me. I can’t really hold back my smile when I listened to his joyful voice more like HiroC’s.
In every story-plot, it wouldn’t be fun if you didn’t have the conflicts or much preferable, the angst in it. Yes, his happiness is just for a few weeks, and the his heart was full of anxiety and doubt cause he no longer can listen to people’s thought around him. Even more, his lover.
He felt dejected and more anxiety when he saw Hasebe with a new employee (a woman) from their store inside a restaurant. He offered to wait for him earlier but gets rejected and there his lover is, with a woman. Once again, he feel that he wants he gift back. It’s quite sad here, cause Yomura was really depressed about his life and then added where he can’t perform his job well cause he was clueless about his customer needs, decreasing his self-confidence. Moreover, OnoD here…I mean Hasebe is really an awkward person, so he didn’t really shows much of emotion on his face and words too. When he stops saying “Suki” to Yomura, it made him feel like Hasebe’s feeling for him change and maybe…just maybe… Hasebe has a feeling for the new employee. It just makes you scream in delight! or is it just me? cause I love it like this~ Uke that not feeling any anxiety and pushy is not CUTE xD LOL wth? o.O
I love the scene or situation where Yomura went to the restroom and saw Hasebe with the new employee (forgive me for forgetting her name) chit chatting happily. It torn his heart, really I can feel it just by listening to his voice (HiroC YOU! YOU Awesome angst VOICE YOU!) When he excuses himself with his angry, but got to control yourself voice, it makes my heart squeals (am I a M?). This is where Hasebe ran after him and being an oblivious person he is, he asked him to go eat dinner (if I remember it correctly) until he get a cold answer in return.
YES! xD This is where all started to reveal!~ Jealous Yomura is truly love ~~ Though sometimes I feel like Hasebe’s feeling isn’t really conveyed enough.. maybe because he is an awkward person so OnoD has to control his voice to fit his image…. but then, it all ends well. Still the lack-ness of OnoD’s feeling for HiroC’s truly bothers me DX…er..I meant Hasebe and Yomura.
Aside from the plot, I really fond of the BGM. It’s so nice… it feels so real! I really can imagine the situation and the environment. This added bonus points to this Drama CD~ *is specially fond of the train’s sounds*
EDIT: I forgot to add this, my personal opinion about this Drama CD. I feel like the ability to be able to listen through one mind was given to Yomura to help him find his true love. This idiotic thinking came up to me when I was re-listening to the second drama CD. First, he proposed to this woman, thus this ability appears. It revealed that the woman that he was ready to spend the rest of his life with is not feeling the same as he is. Then, when he met Hasebe this special ability of his just vanish. Doesn’t it feel like it just not coincidence but a fate instead. He was given a second chance to not ruin his life by spending them with a person that just doesn’t love him. Forgive this self-rambling of mine. i really need to let this out… cause I one who loves to dig deep into a plot and end up being silly~ xD hahahaha~~
Well… I feel like I’m more to narrating than ranting! LOL xD anyway….. yes, this BLCD is really good to listen to, so don’t hold back!! ~


Mmm this is definitely one of my fav drama cds too ^^ and I think you made a good point that Yomura’s ability was given to him to find his true love… I really like that idea. Maybe the author was thinking the same thing :3
Yeah. I think it has a unique plot for BLCD so far =3 (and not to mentioned, OnoD/HiroC lol)
Maybe the author did think about that… lol.. maybe *nods*
