ELISA and Lia are both part of my top 5 favourite singers, and hearing them in duo for the OP of this series is just simply beautiful...I love this OP

OceanBlue · 2011-05-17, 14:22

It isn't as great as the full version of the first OP, but I still like it better than the TV sized second OP. The second song is nice to listen to as well.

Well, for what it's worth, the full version of the first opening did set the bar pretty high, so it's not exactly surprising that this one couldn't compare. Still, it's a bit disappointing how... conventional this one is compared to the insanity of God Only Knows.

EDIT: Though I would like to point out that I still think this opening is fairly good. It's just that the previous one was downright incredible.

Ekureiru · 2011-05-17, 19:18

For those who are interested...

Here's a chart of the song broken down into which parts are sung by whom.

Legend:

E - ELISA
L - Lia
D - Duo
C - Chorus

Spoiler:

Being a big fan of ELISA, and having taken a liking to Lia's past work... this is probably the second most awesome duo I've ever seen.

First still has to be Happy Material Return (Mahou Sensei Negima OP) by Yui Horie and Minori Chihara, live at Animelo.

@Vegard Aune: Indeed, the original still is amazing in comparison. I doubt we'll see something from the newer series top it.

(Also, if someone wants me to chart the other track on the single ("A Brand New God Only Knows"), just let me know.

Duckys · 2011-05-17, 19:52

Was kinda sad to find out A Whole New World God Only Knows wasn't the epic 10 minute of God Only Knows, but it sounds great with Lia and Elisa singing together.

Figured the other singer was Lia, her voice is quite distinct.

Edit: Well, just listened to the second song on the CD... and it's sounds slightly awkward to me... anyone else get that vibe?

Solafighter · 2011-05-23, 11:49

With a bit of delay, i finaly got the A Whole New World God Only Knows op music.

Can only descripe it with one word: Amazing.

Flower · 2011-05-23, 19:56

Recently listened to the full version of the OP as well ... and I liked it.

And, of course, Lia and Elisa sound very good together....

Rungelunge · 2011-05-24, 13:17

The full version of second season ED is awesome. Who is the composer? I just love all the TWGOK songs/BGM I have listened to so far.

Game8910 · 2011-05-24, 13:39

Ai no Yokan full surpassed my expectations completely...what a magnificent ED

KyriaL · 2011-05-26, 01:27

Just heard the Ai no Yokan full, it is definitely on par with Koi no Shirushi. Oh well, guess its time to remember another full song.

Hooves · 2011-05-26, 22:47

Ai no Yokan just made me feint from overload

as well as the full version for the OP..

Seconded! Ai no Yokan is just too beautiful. It's good to be alive.

I especially love Kanae Itou in the Kaketamatai version with Hayami Saori, just way too sweet.

I have to agree that version was quite cute and normal version was nice

, though I wonder if we'll be getting character songs versions of it or not since was on two of it on the single.

SilverSyko · 2011-05-29, 23:14

Hmmm, the OP song caught my interest when I watched it in the first episode, so I just gave the full version a listen and I am pleased.~

It's sung in English which I appreciate very much. I wish they did this more often. Then I'd probably be more inclined to listen to OP songs.

I really liked the first season's OP song, and while that one was longer, it was more like a mix of songs than just one, but much more impressive overall. This one, despite staying the same for the entirety didn't really live up to it's predecessor.

It's still a good and catchy song though, and it's now on my MP3 player.~

Ekureiru · 2011-05-30, 20:20

Well, for those who want <charting> for the 2nd season's ED (Ai no Yokan)... that'll have to wait. In the meantime, enjoy the entirety of the lyrics in the spoiler below:

In addition to the character singles, just as it was last season, there's going to be an album for season II. But it's not Kanon this time. It's the Loose Souls Team of Elsie and Haqua. They've already had a character single apiece, and a solo version of Koi no Shirushi/Ai no Yokan/duet version of AnY, but this album marks something dedicated to just them. I don't know the contents of it yet, but it has been announced.

And it'll be one hell of an album.

I see what you did there.

I listened to the radio show today and 1 of the tracks confirmed for that album is the Elsie solo version of Ai no Yokan. Since she doesnt get a character CD this season, they just put it there.

There is also another Kanon single to be released on september alongisde the album...cannot wait to get them.

coderlan · 2011-06-02, 06:45

Kusunoki's character single is out.

The Melancholy of the Samurai Girl

Ai no Yokan (Kusunoki ver.)

Seihai · 2011-06-02, 07:15

Just for today... just for today, I will fall in love with Kusunoki.

So beautiful, I think I'm warming up to Ai no Yokan even more than I did with Koi no Shirushi.

ID555 · 2011-06-02, 07:21

Nice. Koshimizu sings quite well it seems. That's a very nice pic too.....now I wish Wakaki gave her more attention...
