In 2000, an event was held in Tokyo to promote the Boogiepop Phantom anime, and one of the main features was a monologue recorded by Shimizu Kaori, the anime voice actress for Boogiepop and Miyashita Touka. The 23-minute dramatic recording is set during the same time period as Boogiepop Overdrive and sheds some light on the relationship between Touka and her split personality.
Touka awakens to find herself in a locked room filled with toys and a lengthy gap in her memory. For Touka, this is quite a normal occurrence considering the number of times Boogiepop has surfaced. Yet this is the first time, through the intervention of the King of Distortion, she has actually been able to converse with Boogiepop directly. Surprisingly, Touka reveals that she isn't a big fan of Shinyo Academy's resident shinigami and also dislikes his outfit.
While exploring the room, Touka comes across various letters written by a girl called Reimi. Reimi had a miserable childhood and the various traumas she suffered led her to lock part of her personality away in the room. After discovering a baby, who represents Reimi's true personality, Touka passes out as a giant eyeball peers in through a window, revealing she is in fact trapped in a doll house. Boogiepop then takes over and explains that their presence has helped Reimi overcome a warp in her own heart created by the King of Distortion. This episode also helps Touka come to terms with her alter ego and accept Boogiepop as a part of her life.
