act zero drama cd

hihi! this is actually the first translating i had to do, without having to read it off, so it's probably not 100% accurate, but i think i got it down right. (Shows you just how determined i am, huh?) in any case, you can find the translation to the first half of the cd in the manga section, since the manga is the script for this... i'll probably post them up here, too, sometime in the near future, so until then... enjoy! By the way, this is all thanks to melz for uploading them and JED for archiving them online.

disclaimer: this drama cd is copyright tsuda masami and hakusensha... it was only available to subscribers of lala, and only if you lived in japan, sometime in the year 2000. so, extra thanks to above named people.. ^^ the tracks were translated by didi (me), so please, just a reminder of proper 'netiquette. Thanks.
