IMO the ED was great . I love it.
How sHould I say this its calming.

I think I take back what I said about the OP being meh. It's pretty decent, especially the chorus.

:heh::heh: Its only a matter of time before you join the other side and say its great.:D

I like this OP but I think oath sign was better. Still, it was good to hear LiSA's voice again.

I'll just leave this here, a great Piano cover of Crossing Field:
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

Crossing field is so great. I love the 0:40 part. It is just awesome.

Any news on the OST release date yet? I sure hope they don't pull anymore of those release-as-DVD/BD-extra shenanigans.

so is there any news of when the OP will come out in full?

It will be out on August 8.

That music they played in ep 4 when Kirito speed-dashed to Rosalia's position and put the sword to her throat was very beautiful. Especially in the way the music 'heightened' the moment he dashed. I can't wait til the ost comes out =03.

Awww Aug 8? I'm dying to listen to it~ It will be added to my J-Rock music playlist :3

There's been no news on this that I can see, but I have to say that I'd rank the odds of it being one of those "release-as-DVD/BD-extra shenanigans" at very high, given that this is Aniplex. The bonus CD with the first volume looks to be a Character Song CD, but we'll see what sorts of CDs are included with future volumes. I'm guessing some of those will be soundtracks.

Full OP is pretty awesome.

I love the full OP! *bounces* Not too crazy about the second track, but the third track on the SAO edition of the single, Kawaranai Ao, sounds rather nice. I could actually see that being another ED.

crossing field full size version is glorious. B-side song Kawaranai Ao is pretty good too.

Geez, this is just awesome. I love the Full OP so much.

The Opening is great!
Maybe now all the Opening hate at the begining will stop.

Name of the cello piece?
 

Hey I love the anime and there is this classical sounding cello piece that keeps popping up, most notably at the end of episode 5 or about 18 minutes 20 seconds into episode 6. I am a classical pianist and cellist and would love to play this piece, however I'm not sure if it's a piece made for the anime, or if it is a piece written by a classical composer that was integrated into the anime (like they did in Occult Academy with Liszts La Campanella). So if anyone has some info on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Does anyone happen to have the full lyrics for Crossing Field (either translated or the romanized versions)?

Watch this page. Someone will translate it eventually.
