I'm obsessed with KOTOKO's new Shana OP Being. While not as complex sounding as Mami's first Shana OP, which I also like, Being has a certain "feeling" that describes my current mood pretty well. It is similar to her other anime ED song "Agony" but with a hint of hope at the end.

In fact for most Japanese songs I usually like them simply on terms of the feel or mood alone. Resublimity for example has no feeling for me whatsoever tho it sounds nice for a techno-ish song.

The other thing about songs I like is the smooth flow of it, which KOTOKO excells at. The same reason why I hate most full versions of the generic anime OP and EDs which seem like all they wanted to make a nice sounding 1min 30sec song to fit an anime OP, slap on an identical 2nd verse and third, calling it a full song knowing diehard fans will buy the song since they like the anime anyway.
