I'm in love with the OP. It brings the atmosphere of the show to me wherever I am. This is one of my favs as far as songs that give off the perfect song for the show's setting.

I feel the ED is a lot more powerful as a song than the opening, which seemed a bit too happy-go-lucky for the show. The ending has this eerie exotic feel to it, and portents something supernatural with it.

Hmm, maybe one we get a lil' bit more into the series - a second OP might show up, something that'll be more suited for whats going on.

The OST to the game is something i really need to order.

[zalas]

There is a distinctly big possibility of that, like what has happened with Fate/stay night. I'd look forward to it

With regards to the OP Single, I am actually really glad they got rid of the 'swords sounds' at the beginning. They just didn't seem to fit IMHO.

Hmm, i was a lil' shocked that they weren't added to the full OP song, in a wat it makes sense - but i liked them. ;_;

Anyone knows what is the second song is the OP CD? Is that an insert song? It's growing on me even more than the OP.

[Orchunter226]

I am in love with the OP... the ED is alright, but the OP's tune just gets drilled into my head worse then "I Love My Computer"

[Onizuka-GTO]

opening song....got it looping in my head. i have to listen to it every now and again.

keep listening to it, after listening to haruhi open/ending
too bad the ending isn't as good as the op.

p.s: still listens to the computer song.

[Crimen Scythe]

hmm... i like the OP and the ED... the OP is kinda catchy... and it gives a sensation of ancient times....somewhat....

Well, it's customary for OP/ED Singles to have a second song on the disc - usually, it's just something else from the artist that they wanted to throw out there. I imagine it's to make the ~$9-10 purchase seem more worthwhile, and also to showcase a bit more about the artist (in the hopes that you'll buy more albums from that artist in the future). Usually the second song is a different style than the first one, just to add a bit of variety. Sometimes that song ends up as an insert in the show in question, but most of the time it's just a standalone bonus song. And yeah - it is sort of funny when the bonus song keeps your interest longer than the main one does.

I'm more interested in the background music during the show ... I'm hoping the OST will contain a lot of that stuff ... the primitive flute and drum music.

I love both the OP and ED very much. For Musou Uta; its has such a catchy, almost meaningful tune. For Houshi Sou Yakyoku and Madoromi no Rinne the powerful vocals really carry the songs very very nicely. If I was asked to rate them as favourites; it would be 1) Houshi Sou Yakyoku 2) Madoromi no Rinne 3) Musou Uta.

I placed Houshi first because I think the vocals for that one are the best done, and Madoromi over Musou because I prefer slower/ more traditional/ more meaningful songs and I think Madoromi has those over Musou Uta. Nothing wrong with Musou tho. Still need my daily fill of it.

Can I ask when the ED single will be released?

Love the op, one of the best thats out right now. Ed is ok but looking to more music.

[Tiberium Wolf]

What about the official lyrics of the op? Are they out yet?

[bento-cube]

For the romaji Japanese lyrics, yes. As of so far I have no idea if anyone's translated it into English yet.

Old Album

[zalas]

Such a great single.
I kinda wished they had put more of SADAME into episode 5, but oh well...
