This is also posted on my tumblr. I apologize because my Japanese is really poor. I can’t really help on translating the songs’ meaning. However, I can give you a general idea on the drama tracks. The numbers in the parentheses are the track durations.
Track 1: Introduction- Kaitou Kid
Just Kid giving us a greeting. I could turn this track into a drinking game with the amount of times he said magic. (1:54)
Track 2: It’s Showtime with Kaitou Kid and Hakuba Saguru.
Kappei’s Kid voice is similar to Hakuba’s, but it’s easy to tell them apart once you listen for a while. It’s apparent especially during the chorus part (It’s Showtime!) Kid’s voice is higher than Hakuba’s and they both have a distinctive voice. There’s some small banter in there: “Why do you steal?” “It’s your job to figure that out, London detective (tantei-kun)~” But oh my god they sound really nice together. (4:05)
Track 3: Hakuba Saguru speaking
He tells us he’s glad to see us and Kid just sent a notice recently. He asks if we would like to listen to his deductions and catch Kid with him. Then he goes on to talk about Kid’s usual movements. He keeps asking you what your thoughts are. And just smooth Mamo voice porn for all the Mamo fans out there. And then he says something along the lines of “the only one that can catch him is me…yes, everything about him will be brought to light by me” ((pfft I can’t translate accurately because I barely understand orz) (2:43)
Track 4- Nakamori Aoko and Kuroba Kaito singing
This is adorable. It’s very upbeat and yeah plain adorable. That’s really all I have to say. Aoko’s singing voice is very cute. Kaito also sings in a very dorky but nice way. They’re singing about their relationship (I think about being childhood friends, Kaito hiding something from her and Kaito telling her not to worry) There’s a lot of talk about promises and forgiving. A really nice duet. I demand we have ShinRan one soon! (3:33)
Track 5: Nakamori Aoko speaking (This one had much simpler vocabulary so I can do a thorough translation)
It starts off with her grumbling about Nakamori being late even though she’s cooking dinner already. She also noticed that Kaito’s not here either. Then she realizes that every time Nakamori is late, so is Kaito. (Hahaha I wonder why) Then she goes on to talking about food and how she should start making the salad when they arrive. She talks about making seafood salad but Kaito’s scared of fish so that’s a no go. Then she goes on to complain about Kaito always criticizing her cooking even though she’s trying her best. (She is imitating Kaito here, so cute) She starts to wonder why the hell she’s cooking for this loser anyways. But decides “whatever~” (2:38)
Track 6- Koizumi Akako singing with some Kuroba Kaito and Kaitou Kid
As expected of Eri Kitamura, her singing is breathtaking. There’s some Kaito talking in the background, wondering why Akako is being so creepy, singing in that corner over there about enslaving people. Then Kid is wondering why he has such an uneasy feeling then he sees Akako and says oh it’s miss witchy Akako, scary~ But yes Akako is an amazing singer, superb job. (5:42- Longest track in the CD)
Track 7- Koizumi Akako speaking
She’s asking the mirror who is the prettiest in the world. Then I think some boys from her class are lurking around her house. She’s about to teach them a lesson about stalking. After she’s finished with them, she says she’s only interested in one man: Kuroba Kaito/ Kaitou Kid. She goes on to talking about making him her slave. And she’s not going to let him get caught until then. (3:06)
Track 8 - Kuroba Kaito’s singing
Ugh, this is beautiful. There’s a melancholic feel to this song. He says smiles and dreams a lot. There’s a lot of longing and hope in this song. The emotion behind it in raw and powerful. I wish I understood more of what he’s singing about. (4:07)
Track 9 - Kuroba Kaito speaking
Kappei did an excellent job with voice acting here. He just came back from a heist and it’s not Pandora. He talks about his mission and avenging his dad. He’s starting to wonder how long it will take to find it. He believes he still has a long way to go, following his father’s footsteps. He goes on reminiscing about his father’s magic shows and advice to him. As he goes on remembering and wondering, his voice gets softer and you can hear him choking up with emotion. This is very powerful. After he trails off, he immediately jumps back in cheerfully. (I really wonder how much of his cheer is forced ;- He tells himself that it won’t do to dwell on this stuff because the Kaitou Kid now isn’t Kuroba Toichi, it’s him. And he’s not going to give up so his dad better being watching over him. Just very emotional and lovely acting, Kappei-san. (2:20)
Track 10- Kaitou Kid’s conclusion
Not much here, just Kid hoping we enjoyed the magic and he’s sorry that the CD is coming to an end. He ends with his trademark “See you, next illusion” (1:49)
