Koji Igarashi and the Castlevania crew in 2008 took to the airwaves via the Internet and radio. They undertook two projects starting with Akumajou Dracula: Radio Chronicle series, which ran for a couple of months and featured 13 volumes. The series' content had little relation to the video games and was described to me as "tedious." Akumajou Dracula: Radio Chronicle was released on CD in 2010, available only on Konami's online store; scans of this product can be found here.

The other project was the Internet audio drama Akumajou Dracula X: Tsuioku no Yasoukyoku (translation: Demon Castle Dracula X: Nocturne of Reminiscence), a 6-volume special that chronicled events a year following Symphony of the Night. While I'm told that this drama, too, was "tedious" and not worth translating, it had a much broader frame of reference. From what I gather, the storyline unfolds when several young women are killed by what seems to be a vampire attack, and Alucard somehow becomes the main suspect. It becomes Richter's mission to discover the truth. Other characters are of course involved.

This complete radio drama, including a newly created Volume 7, was also released on CD in 2010. It, too, is currently available only at konamistyle.jp.

Furthermore, Japanese customers can earn a special bonus for purchasing in one order Radio Chronicle, Tsuioku no Yasoukyoku, and the Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth soundtrack.

Characters

Alucard: The troubled half-breed son of Dracula. In question is his role in the women's deaths and his apparently "disgusting" past, which is of great concern to Maria Renard. Richter Belmont: The supreme vampire hunter who sealed away Dracula but was disgraced by his role in Shaft's second plot. Regardless, he steps forward to investigate recent happenings.
Maria Renard: A woman gifted with great magical power and a mystical link to nature, she was involved in the thwarting of both of Shaft's schemes. Now she must decide whether or not she trusts Alucard, her beau. Lyudmil: A man who 350 years ago served as a steward for Alucard. He's the only one who knows of Alucard's past deeds.


Magnus: An Incubus (the male version of a Succubus) who enjoys toying with the emotions of women. He appears before Maria with ill-intent. Cyril: The 20-year-old heir of the House of Marquis. This vampire hunter is pursuing a demon who stole a special potion he invented.
Alexis: Cyril's friend and a fellow vampire hunter. Currently an apprentice, Alexis is rather naive and looks upon Cyril for guidance.
