A second audio drama update to commemorate a milestone: Fei Du (Yang Tianxiang) and Luo Wenzhou (Liu Cong) read out passages from Macbeth. (Fei Du's VA sounds like he might have a cold in this recording...)

Original post:
https://www.missevan.com/sound/player?id=11069730

Subtitled audio:
If subtitles don't appear automatically, please tap the CC button to display them.

Orange subtitles = Luo Wenzhou
Purple subtitles = Fei Du

Notes:
The second "excerpt" they read out is "语言是有魔力的,你说出了它,它就会缠绕着你". Thank you so much to [personal profile] llonkrebboj for going through CN and EN versions of the text to confirm that this is not a real quote. ^^; There were a few web sources that claimed (confidently but wrongly) that this was a line from Macbeth, which was mystifying and kind of funny.

Cover art:
dreamlike illustration of a book opening against the background of sky, birds, and voyages

The Mo Du/Silent Reading audio drama just hit a streaming milestone, so they recorded a short message which they released today, shocking everyone who subscribed to season 5 with an update notification in the year 2025. You can hear/view the official post on Missevan here, where it's publicly accessible even without an account.

I have subbed the update here (tap the CC button if subtitles don't automatically appear):

Freebies from the 小蘑菇 Little Mushroom audio drama starring 孙路路 Sun Lulu as An Zhe and 阿杰 A Jie as Lu Feng. These are all free to listen to on Missevan/Maoer FM, I just wanted to archive them and share download links for personal use.

Cover art



Ringtones with streaming, source, and download links
Alarm tone (An Zhe version):
Good morning.

Links: Missevan (source) / Download (MP3)


Ring tone (An Zhe version):
According to human etiquette, shouldn't you be answering your phone?

Links Missevan (source) / Download (MP3)


Alarm tone (Lu Feng version)::
Morning.

Links: Missevan (source) / Download (MP3)


Ring tone (Lu Feng version):
Answer your phone.

Also compiled on Tumblr.

I'm really fond of these. Everything is so pretty and you can feel how the music has been used to add to the characterization and worldbuilding—An Zhe's is warm, sunny, and gently rolling or floating, Lu Feng's windswept and shifting like the lights of an aurora. :")
