Damn, I needed to hear more of the ED song. Where are my ZARD CDs?
This episode easily ranks a 9/10 (not that I ever vote).
I echo chc's sentiments on the karaoke ending scenes. I look forward to them every week for the interplay between the characters and the actresses that voice them. The lines between the character and the seiyuu seem to blur in the segment. Not to mention the surprise of, "what song this week?" and the nostalgia factor of hearing old favorite songs.
