3rd FMA opening song?

[Jenichan]

I got some file off of streamload that says it is the new OP to Fullmetal Alchemist leaked by Sony Music. The song is definetly different, but the animation is the same as the "Ready Steady Go" OP (including the song name in the credits). I'm pretty sure the new song is by Two-Mix (the band that does the OPs to Gundam Wing including "Rhythm Emotion", "White Reflection" and "Just Communication" as well as other anime i'm sure). Anyways, does anyone know anything about this? I thought it was weird that the animation was the same as the 2nd OP, but it actually fit with the music pretty well, suprisingly. Thanks for any info!

Maybe just anime music video...? *shrugs*

Nope, there is a 3rd OP/ED, it's on the official home page.

wow, cool thanks! That band that sings the OP sounds an awful lot like Two-Mix lol. I bet the animation won't be the same when it actually comes out tho..

Yeah, I saw that too!

I (don't speak Japanese, so I) used http://world.altavista.com to translate the page ( http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/hagaren/ )and this is the result of the news for those who are interested:
NEW OP/ED theme tune decision

OP theme tune
"UNDO"COOL JOKE

ED theme tune
"Motherland"Crystal Kay

3rd feature OP ED theme tune decided. As for OP, the new member lock band of expectation, COOL JOKE takes charge.
With ED, Crystal Kay ardently tells the singing which is not.
We deliver also image of course with new version.
New OP ED is ON AIR schedule from 26th story
Remember that the translation is done by a computer, so you can't really rely on the titles of the songs. For instance the translation also said that "Hagaren no Renkin Jutsushi" = "Alchemist Teacher".

But the new OP/ED will air during the 26th episode! And according to my calculations, that would be... April 3rd! And the fansub would come around April 5th or 6th (new OP/ED's take longer to translate?).

Providing we'll get fansubs considering it maybe suffer from encryption in April?

That kinda pisses me off tbh - i love the op/end of the current (2nd) one, its FAR better than the first on both accounts. The op is nicely done, the guitar/rock sub-theme is great and the ending is always done superbly, with the singing voice coming in just before the actual episode end.

Well, i just spent some time at animelyrics.com and found out that the song that someone had put to the 2nd FMA OP animation is in fact a Two-Mix song called "Rythmic Youth", so apparently this has nothing to do with the 3rd OP, just some person trying to trick everyone into thinking this was the new OP. Sorry for confusing everyone, but I was very confused myself (obviously). Anyways, at least it turned into a real topic with news on the REAL 3rd OP to FMA. Sorry again for the inconvenience!
