Digimon Adventure Original Story: 2½ Year Break

Digimon Adventure Original Story: 2½ Year Break (デジモンアドベンチャーオリジナルストーリー　２年半の休暇) focuses on the two and a half years between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02. It was only released in Japan. It has separate tracks for Taichi "Tai" Kamiya (set November 1999), Joe Kido (set May 2000), Sora Takenouchi (set October 2000), Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi (set April 2001), Mimi Tachikawa (set September 2001), and Yamato "Matt" Ishida (set March 2002).

Overall, the audio drama, being set between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, serves to bridge the gap between the two seasons in terms of the changing personalities of the original DigiDestined and, especially in the case of the chapter Chat, to provide further insight into some plot holes.
