Nah, I think we'll see most of these songs during the festival and they'll just release 2-3 new songs for everyone like in season 1!

Jimmy C · 2010-07-31, 06:03

Too many song titles have been thrown around in this season already. To put all of them into one single episode and assuming 3 minutes per song (without regards as to whether the song is only 3 minutes long) The episode will be nothing but songs.

I wouldn't mind. The show needs to have a grand finale, and I can't think of anything better than a concert episode.

Agreed, assuming K-ON does actually end I expect something grand in the final part of the series

A list from Oricon of the most anticipated singles to be released on August 4, which is usually accurate in predicting what singles will top the Oricon singles chart that week. The list suggests that the new OP and ED won't place 1 & 2 like GO!GO!MANIAC and LISTEN!! did.

SMAP haven't had a single that got less than number 1 in the Oricon charts since 2001. K-On doesn't have a chance.

Speaking of which:

Yeaaaah. I dunno why CDJapan have their copies so early, but yeaaah nonetheless.

Heard the full versions. Got them as well. In process of uploading.

Utauyo!! MIRACLE got even more chipmunkier towards the end. NO. Thank you! has a surprising turn and I thought it was a different song in the middle.

For the moment, OP2 > ED2.

OP2:

ED2:

Ravenblitz · 2010-07-31, 20:11

i love the full version of both!

Kira kira and Girls in Wonderland are both good too

OZ7UP · 2010-07-31, 20:40

Ummm... Wow.

Regarding "NO Thank You", while I could live with the sudden change in tempo right after the second chorus, they really should have played a proper guitar solo. I wasn't expecting anything flashy (for something like K-On), but they could have at least done a Paramore-style solo. Everything else was fine, though.

As for "Utauyo Miracle", well... The whole chipmunk thing in the final chorus before the finale just didn't do anything for me.

At least we still have the season 2 character singles coming up anyway.

Fun fact i fond out

"Kira-kira" (きらきら in hiragana) means sparkling, glittering, or shiny.

My Favorite is Miracle these are my favorite parts of the song

2:22 - 3:00 & 3:00 - 4:04

Tsumugi~ · 2010-07-31, 22:54

Utauyo!! MIRACLE - Is this really the best song to do a key change in, considering here it started in the first place?

Kira Kira Days - Love the guitar riff, synth and background chorus!

NO, Thank You! - Hey, it does have the title in there.

Girls in Wonderland - Well, it's... there. I don't dislike it, it's a nice little happy song, but it's, I don't know, generic?

Tsumugi~ · 2010-08-01, 02:17

NO, Thank You! and Kira Kira Days are the best for me ^_^ other 2 are nice as well but i expected a bit more from utauyo :>

Lord of Fire · 2010-08-01, 02:19

I like the full OP2. I'm not sure if it beats the first one (probably not, as that song was extremely addictive and caught me right away), but it'll grow on me after a while, I'm sure. KiraKira Days is definitely one of the best B-sides for this show ever.

As for the ED2, that turned out to be quite a bit of a disappointment. It went along well until they got to where I would expect an epic guitar solo (or even an epic keyboard solo). Instead, we get some sort of guitar/keyboard mishmash and to be frank, I didn't like it. It's as if they ran out of ideas and just threw something in to fill the time. And why did the song slow down after that? It wasn't bad, but again, not really my thing. This song had so much potential, but half of it got wasted and lowered my initial impression. Girls in Wonderland is a good song, at the very least better than Our Magic, though doing worse than that song is practically impossible.

So what does that bring me to?
All OPs are great. First overall impression: GGM > UM > CG, but the difference is minimal, as each song has its unique charm.

The EDs were far from impressive in the end. I'd say that Listen! > No, Thank You > Don't Say Lazy, but I'll have to listen a bit more to make a final judgment.

As for the B-sides: As far the ones of the OPs are concerned, Happy?! Sorry!, Genius, and KiraKira Days are all great. I can't really pick a favorite as of yet.

The ED B-sides are a different story. Bitter Beauty Song was okay, Our Magic was a total disaster and Girls in Wonderland is good and will probably be my favorite of these three.

I guess I just like Hisaka's voice better then^^

The voice has nothing to do with it. I like her voice, but the songs don't do much for me.

Tsumugi~ · 2010-08-01, 05:10

The songs are all good imo, but Mio's voice just makes them better than the others, that's why I like her songs a lot more ^^
Hey, everyone has his own opinion, right?
