Can you read chinese? If you can, try: http://www.fuyun.cn/book/8551/html/contents.html

The website had all three of the CD-drama translation. In chinese.

The first story is about seven kirins meeting at Mt. Hou to celebrate the fact that all the kingdoms have kirins. The second story is about the time when Keiki first choose Yo-ou to be the empress until the time Youko defeated the younger sister of Yo-ou. The third story is about Rakushun and Kantai meeting for the first time.

Thanks! :) I don't read Chinese. I went to the page anyway and tried to use a web translator, but the translation made no sense. I wish these stories would be published in English. :cry:

Oh wow...
the Hachikirin thing eh?

I translated that long ago back int he days of the JK releases in 12ktp.

I still have the translation lying around. If I can find it, perhaps I will put together something like we did for the first CD drama.

Or maybe i'll just paste the text here.

Basically Hachikirin or The Eight Kirins is the first summoning of many kirins at once at Mt. Hou. If I recall correctly, they all meet Taiki, bicker amongs themselves, and discuss the situation in the Hou kingdom.
