My Song--> ;__;

Eh, Alchemy sounded a bit better live? as an insert in episode 3 (with the crowd cheering & all)
Crow Song is awesome though.

Loved that guitar-solo part.

...So I randomly decided to translate Crow Song, and figured I might as well post it here.

Spoiler for Kanji:

Spoiler for Romaji:

Spoiler for English translation:

Now, I'm not entirely sure if I got all of it right, and I did take some liberties with the engrishy parts ("Found out mitsukeru"? "Song for utau yo"? Sorry Japan, but that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense) but I think I did okay.

As for the rest of the music, the opening is fantastic, (I was really glad to learn that CDJapan actually sells the single. I couldn't find any of the other Key-CDs anywhere except HimeyaShop, so I thought I wouldn't be able to get it) the ending is pretty nice if a bit... bland, and the background music and insert songs have been pretty decent so far. I've already ordered the OP/ED-single, and I might import the GirlDeMo singles as well, though I'm not entirely sure yet.

i think its because i listened to alchemy so much from the episode, it sounds a bit strange without the teachers barging in and the students yelling at them.. Crow song is okay, and My Song is always fantastic. i love the highs her voice hits.

Kotohono · 2010-04-22, 19:02

I <3 Crow Song full ver., it's amazing my favorite of the three. Though all three songs were epic xD. Can't wait for my CD to get here.

Also interesting lyrics for Crow Song seems fitting her Iwasa's background.

Of course, Yui said it in epsode 3: "The lyrics are about Iwasawa-san"

Got my hands on the 'Crow Song Single' today, which comprises of the full versions of Crow Song, Alchemy and My Song. Awesome!

arcticphoenix16 · 2010-04-23, 20:34

I don't like the Alchemy from the CD. It's way too "clean". It simply doesn't have the energy from a noisy environment with the crowd cheering.

My Song T_T

DarkWish · 2010-04-24, 07:13

The new opening :

wormspeaker · 2010-04-24, 09:05

I prefer the piano version of the OP better, but I love how they worked the new OP into the episode.

DarkWish · 2010-04-24, 11:42

I like both but the piano is better.

nani · 2010-04-24, 11:58

Some interesting crossovers which are surprisingly good (IMO) :

Combined piano version and rock version of My Soul, Your Beats!

I guess that's a better way of saying it.
But yeah, I agree :[

@ new OP: Haha, it seems Yui has stolen the spotlight from Angel.
The guitar is nice, but it lacks something for me.
Piano version is better ~_~

Kotohono · 2010-04-24, 13:13

Both version of the OP are good, but I think I prefer the piano, still trying to decide. The new OP was unexpected for sure though.

Zanibas · 2010-04-24, 17:16

Well, someone at RC requested a combination of OP 1+2, so here's the product...

Wow it sounds interesting together, thought it would have sounded worse.

zetsubou-san · 2010-04-25, 05:13

Everytime I hear Crow Song, I think about the "epic" gun battle of EP1.

Now that we've hit EP4, I think prefer the ED over both of the OPs. I like melancholic tunes after all...

Hypernova · 2010-04-25, 07:26

The music mesh well but the way the vocals combine make one of them sound like nasty compression artefacts. A proper duet has huge potential though.

pagan poor · 2010-04-25, 18:14

I liked one of the other mash ups done between the 2 OP versions. It definitely brings a different vibe than the 2 by themselves. I kinda hope they do some mix of the 2 as a remix track on the released OP single.

icyhandofcrap · 2010-04-28, 14:14

Battlesheep over at MAL has a remix version that I find to be the best by far. The vocals are really well synced and sound cleaner, while the piano becomes a nice supplement to the guitars, instead of competing and overloading the song, like in the other remixes.

Not posting the link because of the rules.
