Picked up the new Death Devil CD at my local import store this weekend... was pleasantly surprised to find that the CV for Christina was Asakawa Yuu if I can believe the jacket work. She's credited for vocals and guitar work.
She also has/had her own band that I have a few CDs of - rather experimental harder-edged stuff outside the "usual seiyuu pop". http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PICA-7046 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SCDC-167 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=KICA-592 Yuu is well-known for being the voice of Motoko (Love Hina / kendo girl) and Sakaki (Azumanga Daioh / tall quiet cool) as well as long list of many other assignments.

That's just typical music video logic. You see it all the time in real videos, where footage of the band actually playing the song is intercut with them staring moodily out of windows or whatever. A recent example that springs to mind is Metric's "Sick Muse".

o.O Have you never seen a music video? Pretty much by definition, they're edited collections of lip-sync, acting, some real playing footage, maybe some CGI, but mostly staged bits. The ED of both season 1 and 2 are homages to these sorts of music videos.

To be perfectly honest, the 2nd season ED made me think a lot of the music video for FLOW - COLORS, the well known first OP for Code Geass. They are playing in a very similar looking white sound room. FLOW have some pretty awesome music videos too, the one with the Terminator parody coming out of left field was hilarious, there was also one where a robot gives a girl a flower and another one where they rock some cops trying to arrest them until they get knocked out. |

The ED always seems to be better sung and have better animation/artwork.
But the OP always seems to have an awesome solo in the full version that comes out sounding better than the ED's full version. We'll see if that is true with the new ones next month.

Interestingly, the OP video up there has 14k more views than the two ED videos up there combined. Japan really loves Toyosaki Aki, huh?
EDIT:Its down to 4k now... EDIT@4:15GMT: The OP has 119k views already, 21k more than ED Last edited by krko; 2010-07-07 at 11:16. |

The ED is, of course, very well sung. Yoko Hikasa's deeper voice appeals to Western ears. The tune is catchy, but I could drop it into the song rotation of the local three-chord rock station and promptly lose it. For that matter, for some reason, it reminds me of Tonight Tonight Tonight . . . the Bleach OP, not the Genesis song. Hmm . . . there's a video to be made in this somewhere.
