My fav song still goes 2 "Stories"

Not exactly true.

When you're listening to a 'crappy' song (figuratively), it's more of a race to see what happens first.

1) Whether you'll grow to love the song.

2) Or you snapped and go crazy.

Code Geass has quite a ...unique collection of songs ...

Could you elaborate on that as in a name? I haven't heard it myself.

Its a grow on you song, I think the vocals don't seem special but they flow with the music.

Whoops, big mistake, the song's name is "Someday". I typed is as Sunrise for unknown reasons >.<

Just like the first OST, i'm able to match the names with the BGM's that have played within the series (and didn't appear in the first OST).

Funnily enough, the former is my case. I hated the song, but now I love it. <3 It's my 4th most played song. XD Plus, there are far worse second openings to other anime. *coughdeathnotecough*It would be a shame for me to hate Kaidoku Funou...

[Chaos2Frozen]

Off-topic, but I have to agree...

WHAT THE HELL were they smoking?! Where are the people who chose 'The World' and 'Alumina'? Did they die of heart attack or something?

[Zu Ra]

Jinn is one of me fave singers I was thrilled when the 2nd op track was sung by her/band . The video of Jinn - Kaidoku Funou

[Kaioshin Sama]

g Okay this is actually quite humurous because its so damn true. What the Code Geass opening would be if it were an H-Game instead of a Politcal Intigue/Mecha Series. God they all sound the same the H-Game openings right down to the timing of individual stanza transitions.

daamn i got the wrong date then.... nooooOO...

[Shiroth]

I've had a listen of the second OST (my copy should arrive sometime next week). Each track on the OST has appeared in the series --- and yes, it is missing just a few tracks from the series. I'm not all that surprised, seeing as though it always happens to me.

At the moment i have a few favourite tracks (though that'll increase once i listen to it more).

Track 05: Feel Ambivalents -- This could easily make its way into my top 05 tracks of all time. Just one listen, and you can already feel the amount of pain Lelouch has gone through in this series.

Track 20: Avalon -- The track thats played in episode 22, when the Emperor is laughing (it has been played a number of times before this, though it was the Emperor laughing that came to my head first :3).

Shall have more favorites after a few more listens.

[Li Jianliang]

I've been looking at the Insert Songs from O.S.T. 2 and Alone scares me, because I don't really support Shirley X Lelouch and she is far more interesting in her independent nature, when she's not all deredere over Lelou.

Spoiler for translated Alone lyrics:

Alone
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition Kuroishi Hitomi

You whispered to me
All of your secrets and a kiss
I was happy and cried
I won’t forget about that night

Everything ended, but…

When love was still alive
The world seemed to be shining
Now we seem to be strangers
And I’m Alone

I wanted to go together with you
On the road that you wished for
Even though I wanted to be by your side
You left me

Was everything my dreaming?

When love was still alive
The world was in our hands
Will we be able to meet again someday?
Until that day, I’m Alone

When love was still alive
The world seemed to be shining
Now we seem to be strangers
And I’m Alone
Here by myself, Alone

yes i just knew that the 2nd OST contained both of the "pro japanese themed" insert songs
and also ~ alone (track 7) and innocent days (track 22) are awesome songs to relax ~

[lyric]

Stories and Masquerade are really quite good...
In contrast, i dont like Opening2 anyhow...that style doesnt fit my taste.

[-KarumA-]

what i would say about this OST is that i still think OST 1 is a lot beter, mostly because i love the thinking songs like Feel Ambivalents

favs for OST 2 are:

1. On Previous Notice
5. Feel Ambivalents
10. Noblesse Oblige
12. Lack of Power for Wisdom
14. Invisible Sound
19. Air Surfing
20. Avalon
22. Innocent Days

I've had them up on my lyrics website since the day after release.

Please note that Hitomi sings in a nonsensical language for this song. It is possible to sing it in Japanese because the syllables match.

Innocent Days
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi

The spring seethes and the river surges
Please watch over that deep sea
You soar up into the air with mysterious wings
Please guide that dark sky

The dawn rain freely
Moistens my cheeks
Like embracing a child
I’d like it to surround me tenderly

A glance that seems to burn
The power to pursue a beautiful dream
Please put on your heart and soul
And take me along to a sinless era

You soar up into the air with mysterious wings
Please guide that dark sky
Amen


Innocent Days
Vocals: Hitomi

Izumi ga wakitachi kawa wa uneri yuku
Anata wa ano fukai umi douka mimamotte kudasai
Shinpi no tsubasa de chuu o maiagaru
Anata wa ano kurai sora douka michibiite kudasai

Yoake no ame wa jiyuu ni
Watashi no hoho o nurasu
Kodomo o daku you ni
Yasashiku tsutsunde hoshii

Yakeru you na manazashi
Utsukushii yume o ou chikara
Sono kokoro to tamashii o kakete
Tsuminaki jidai e tsurete itte

Shinpi no tsubasa de chuu o maiagaru
Anata wa ano kurai sora douka michibiite kudasai
Aamen
