this is a translation i made along with @kiribaku-i-enjoy of a facebook post in spanish about japanese reactions to the Cindereki CD drama

About the CD drama
The CD drama is about 27 minutes long
Reki/Cindereki is not interested in marriage
Instead of a glass slipper there's a glass skateboard
Even tho Reki had his own skateboard, he went to the castle by carriage
Langa, the prince, was very kind to Cindereki and used a soft voice tone with him
Langa was looking for someone to marry
Just like in the anime, only Cindereki can make Langa smile more and make him express his emotions
In the end they both get married and skae happily ever after
Its all a dream of Reki's in canon
AD*M sees Reki as a third wheel, as someone who can get in betweet his relationship with Langa
Tadashi is Langa's mentor
About Matcha Blossom:
Joe (Reki's fairy godmother) spends like a minute talking about his muscles
Joe gets both the skateboard and carriage out of his six pack/muscles (SIR i'm-)
Cherry is Cindereki's older step-sister and is worried about not being married for her age. Apparently she flirts with Langa but JOE turns up and ruins the scene. Japanese fans say Cherry and JOE seemed to be flirting most of the time
Some scenes from the CD drama:
There is a scene where Reki and Langa are skating on ice (on their skateboards). Langa says "how beautiful" and Reki thinks he's referring to him, but Langa was actually talking about the glass skateboard (Reki had some kind of gay panic then)
When the enchantment is off, Langa looks for Reki and says "i found you..." to which Reki replies: "Thank you for finding me". (Appears to make reference to episode 10, Reki was feeling lonely so when Langa found him and started skating with him, he felt really happy.)
Langa took Reki's hands and felt them really warm
They were about to get married and AD*M is the narrator so when he got to that part he got upset and horrified and said "are you really choosing her?" (given by the spanish translations cindereki goes by she/him i gues... i dont really know)
Even though this is a dream, Reki really believes Langa is a prince and should be his parter (i can't tell if this is a headcannon by the interpretator tbh)
Some striking quotes from the CD Drama:
Reki: thank you for finding me
Reki had been sliding alone all along and he always wanted to skate with someone else until he finally met Langa
Langa: Nobody understands Reki's charm, only me, so i have to find him.
Langa was born in a distant country and yet it was a miracle for them to meet. What drew them together and reunited them was faith.
Sydney: God, give me patience.
Keith: I think you mean 'give me strength'.
Sydney: If God gave me strength, you'd be dead.
Ok. But the level of gay in Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues to astound me.
Like, not only do Steve and Bucky have a phrase like a wedding vow that they say to each other, which gets introduced to the audience in the context of Bucky asking Steve to move in with him, and that later is so emotionally impactful that it breaks through 70 years of brain washing and Bucky remembers it before he remembers his own name. Not only does Steve apparently spend his free time hanging out in his own exhibit in the Smithsonian, staring longingly at old photos and videos of Bucky. Not only does the issue of Steve’s love life get repeatedly raised in the set up before Bucky comes back. Not only do Steve and Bucky’s interactions fit really neatly into a lot of epic romance tropes. Not only is Steve literally willing to die rather than hurt Bucky more than he’s already been hurt, even though as far as he knows Bucky has shown no signs of recognizing him.
But also on top of all that, there’s the whole “shared life experience” discussion (not “similar” - shared!!!) which could only refer to Bucky, which takes place shortly before the Winter Soldier’s true identity is revealed. I mean, it could hardly have been more obvious if they were like:
Steve: Believe it or not, it’s hard to find someone with shared life experience.
Natasha: Yeah. That makes sense. Where on earth are you going to find someone who lived through your childhood in Brooklyn and the war right along side you but who also understands what it’s like to get the serum and be frozen? I mean, I just have no idea who could possibly fit that description. Why don’t we ask that dude over there with the mask and the metal arm? Maybe he can help.
thor ragnarok fight scene but holding out for a hero is playing
MCU Tony: I’m leaving the Avengers.
MCU Steve: Aw. :/ You know, I really am gonna miss you.
616 Tony: I’m leaving the Avengers.
616 Steve: Ugh. This is so unfair.
616 Steve: My heart is so heavy. Unbelievable.
616 Steve: The Avengers should have just left me in the ice.
616 Steve: This planet is just too cruel, now. How will I bring myself to wake up in the morning?
616 Steve: Oh, agony.
AA Tony: I’m leaving the Avengers.
AA Steve: Oh? where’re we going?
The falcon and the winter soldier? More like The Falcon and realizing how head over heels bucky is for Steve each time he says his name
PreSerum Steve: Am I going too far?
Bucky : No, no, no. You went too far about seven hours ago. Now you're going to prison.
‘I wish you could hear all the words I’m too afraid to say…’ I’m just feeling so nostalgic ahh… Stony was the ship that made me join the fandom so it has a special place in my heart ♥ Even though I mostly draw Stucky now I still adore Stony just as much as I adore Stucky

when skies are gray

my sunshine away
Reki [on the phone]: Send dudes.
Langa [visibly confused]: Do...Do you mean nudes?
Reki: I’m in a fight, I need people.
Langa: YOU'RE IN A WHAT?!
Joe [snatching the phone]: I'll be there in five minutes, Reki.
Joe [yelling into the house]: Miya! Get your baseball bat we are going to help Reki!
Miya: ON IT!
