Wow I remember when this series was first announced! Now that Rejet Archive has added LipOn to their channel, I decided this is the perfect time to give it a listen. I passed on listening to it back then because I was deep in classic Rejet hell and super into all their angsty and dark works lol... 😂

This cd features Seiya Kitano, a popular 2nd year "prince" at a neighboring school called Akanami High. He's a strawberry 🍓 addict and his totally transparent feelings about you make it obvious you guys are dating... right?

Below are thoughts & summaries, plus a bonus image gallery at the end!


Track 1

The cd begins in the present, set when you and Seiya are out shopping for clothes together. You're indecisive about what clothes to get, so Seiya decides he'll wait outside while you change again, giving you a quick fluffy smooch before walking away. While waiting, he comments it's cute how red you get when embarrassed, and begins to reminisce on how you two first met. 

Both you and Seiya were dragged by your friends to join them on a double date. Seiya introduces himself as a student of a nearby school, but you already know about him since he's really popular. The 4 of you watch a movie together, but Seiya wants to take you somewhere else since you're both 3rd wheeling on your friends' date. He drags you away to go... somewhere special, oho? Which apparently turns out to be a place that serves a super delicious strawberry shake! His treat, of course. He then teases you about how you was worried he was gonna take you someplace shady... Unless you wanted him to of course lolol. (To be fair, it sounded a little shady when he said that lmao). But nah he's just teasing, and he loves how panicked you reacted to that. He says that you shouldn't be worried about being shy or whatever and just be honest with each other.. because you two are friends now of course! (Wow, a genki and super friendly/open guy that isn't blonde for once haha).

Track 2
After you parted ways Seiya realized he didn't get your phone or email, but that's okay because the 4 of you hang out again the next week at an amusement park! Seiya wants to give his friend some alone time, so he drags you away to go on the other rides. He takes you to the rollercoaster first since you both enjoy that ride, and the two of you decide to compete to see who can make the funniest face when you get photographed during the ride. Loser treats the other to lunch. You're a little embarrassed but decide to do it after some reassurances from Seiya. You win and he laughs at the hilarious face you made, causing you to smack him lolol. Seiya gets sidetracked on the way to the food court and drags you to a haunted house... 😶 You get scared so he offers to hold your hand throughout, eventually changing it so your hands are linked together. He asks if you're embarrassed about holding hands the way lovers do, and he's honored to be the first man you've done that with. I know this series is only fluff but the way he whispers in leaning in close, and the innuendo? OHO. I'm a little sad that nothing popped out so he would be the one getting scared but oh well lol. Even as you two exit and head to the food court, he doesn't want to let go because he loves how shy you are about it ghsldkjf. At the end of the day he sees you off at the train station and actually gets your contact info this time. He calls around the time you get and says you can always message him anytime~

Track 3
Some time has gone by and you haven't really contacted him much, so Seiya asks if you can drop by his school. He tries bragging about you to his friends a distance away, but you get embarrassed and start walking away. He apologizes and tries to stop you but you just drag him along too lmaoo. He offers to treat you to something since you came all this way but is worried since you're so silent. You say donuts would be nice to eat and immediately he wants to hold your hand on the walk over there. Why? Because it's a normal thing to do obviously, and you two should be honest with each other.

From that day onward, the two of you hang out often and he enjoys it a lot. He muses on how the two of you go to lots of places and you laugh and hang together like friends. Some time passes and he's worried if he upset you somehow since you're always busy with school. He waits around at your school until you finish for the day, bringing up that it's not weird to be worried about you or want to see your face, especially when he hasn't really seen you for a while. Because if you really wanted to see him you would make time for him... right? Since you two are dating, be honest if you don't want him anymore. Wait... dating!? This whole time he thought the weekly hangouts were part of the courting process, meanwhile you just thought you were hanging out the normal amount you'd hang out with a friend. (To be fair he's super obvious about he feels but... he also didn't ask lmao). So to make things super clear, he shouts his confession. 😂😂 You interrupt the middle of his confession to take him somewhere more secluded lmao.

Track 4

Once you're away from prying eyes, he goes back to his confession. To prove he wouldn't act this way to just any friend he'll make his feelings clear by... kissing you! And then he gets real sappy about how he started to fall by the second time you guys met, how he called so quickly after the train station because he wanted to hear your voice and lots of things he finds adorable about you and how he's relaxed around you and just AWW. So please be his girlfriend, and he won't stop kissing until you say yes OHOHO. He then realizes that you taste like strawberries because you got strawberry sweets after noticing it was his favorite flavor lmaoo. At one point you're so flustered you hide in his arms haha. Anyway... lots and lots of kissies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sunday comes again and now it's your "official" first date. He takes you to a photo booth to celebrate. After having a heart-to-heart the two of you end up with some nice photos, including a kiss shot heh.

Track 5
Back in the present day, you finally decide on an outfit you like. You get embarrassed when he mentions he spent his time waiting thinking about you, but how could he not when he has an adorable girlfriend. He compliments how good in that outfit and requests you wear it on your next date, and then pushes you back into the dressing room and starts kissing you a bit oHO. It's like he's falling for you all over again, and he'll kiss you as many times as needed to remind you of his feelings aaaa.

Final Thoughts


It's so fluffy!!! I was definitely not disappointed. And all those smooches Seiya gives, especially in succession? HOO BOY. That dummy head mic is sure serving its purpose. (〃▽〃)

I think this was my first time listening to a drama by Namikawa? I really enjoyed it though, so I might listen to more of his stuff eventually. He has a nice middle ranged timbre and those quicky smooches were really nice LOL.

Other than sound effects and things, I'm surprised how quiet overall it was during the cd. Normally there'd be a bit more background music, but I guess Rejet was still figuring out their formula back then haha.

Even though Seiya is popular at his school, I'm glad there wasn't the whole "angry fangirls trying to break them up" subplot. I wish there were some extra moments that they included, like maybe a little bit on the rollercoaster, but honestly I just wanted an excuse for more fluff lmao. The MC here is a bit shy and a little insecure/worried, which could be just her own personality, the fact that he's popular, or both.

Also despite how often Seiya said they should be open with each other, their communication regarding feelings really wasn't on the same page. 🤣

I thought it was a cute idea having them be an established couple in the beginning, and then have the drama take you through the adventure of how they began dating. And that 4th track especially where he just gushes on and on about you? So sweet.  (。´∀`*) I also really like that he views the MC as another friend to enjoy being with, because honestly your significant other really should be like another friend you can confide in.

Honestly this is just a nice feels-good kinda cd, and I understand now what all the hype was back then haha. I really enjoyed listening to this and had to stop myself from rambling too much. 😝

So if you want an hour of fluff and a man doting on you and constantly expressing his devotion and feelings to you, then this is the CD for you! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

And one final note: Happy 6th Anniversary to LipOn!


Until next time~!
