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.
you were probably expecting something romantic and I sincerely apologize, instead here’s what I drew after learning Satan’s demon shirt has a tail window
Satan: yeah, that’s what we are doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.
Belphie, later that day, to Beel: that’s… exactly what we did.
