Trivia

 * Starting with this drama CD, Hiroki Takahashi began to use a deeper voice for Japan, a change that carried over to the anime adaptation.


 * An additional seiyū, Kaoru Mizuhara, appears in the Cast Commentary section in the discussion of recording for the drama CDs and anime. When it comes time for each actor to discuss the characters they play, Mizuhara mentions Kankoku and Korean barbeque, suggesting that she was originally cast as South Korea at the time of this recording, but was let go from the production when the character was written out of the series in light of the South Korean protests.
