Okay, so we now have a third version of Ichiban no Takaramono out... Not surprisingly, I love it. Ever since I heard the "original" version in episode 13, I felt that Yui's take on the song just paled in comparison, with the instrumentals being, y'know, one guitar and nothing else, and the performance just didn't hold up compared to the other version. Which was a shame, because I really thought Yui's version had the better lyrics.
...And so now we've got a much more polished version of Yui's Ichiban no Takaramono, with a completely redone instrumental arrangement and a somewhat improved performance. The result? Eh, karuta's version is still ever-so-slightly better, but this is one hell of an improvement over Yui's first take on the song, and I think the instrumentals here might be the best out of the three versions. So while it's not the best version of the song, it's still pretty damn excellent. Now, if they'd taken the instrumentals and lyrics of this version, and had karuta (or even better, Lia) sing it... the result would probably be utterly amazing.

I actually don't like this version all that much. Yui's original version of Ichiban no Takaramono is my favorite because I can see her taking a guitar, playing it, and singing it out with feeling like Iwasawa did with My Song. Karuta's version is great but I thought the vocals were a bit lacking in some parts.
This version's vocals seemed a bit more straining on the ears in the chorus and sometimes I can hear a very slight lisp here when LiSa pronounces her s's and ts's sometimes, most notably at the beginning in the line "shiawase ni tsukameru."

If' we're talking marina, then she recently provided the vocals for a song made by DECO*27, a very well-known VOCALOID song composer. She's also singing some of the songs on his new album that's coming out.
Seen here: I personally thought this song wasn't DECO*27's best work (compared to songs like Mozaik Role, Yowamushi Montblanc, Ai Kotoba, Shinkai Summit, and Nisoku Hokou) but it's still solid enough to stand on its own.

On the two new single, I have to say the title song for each of them is easily the best Last Song and Yui final Ichiban no Takaramono were my two favorite songs of the 6. For Yui I also really like Storm Song; it feels a like a really Yui version of Crow Song, but made to fit singing much better than her version of Crow Song. To just on the others:
3. Storm Song 4. God Bless You, similar to my song style of song I really like it more than my song actually . 5. Day Game, not bad but worse than a number of the other Lisa songs in my opinion. 6. Hot Meal [Another Thousand Enemies]; Yui/Lisa Thousand Enemies > Marina Hot Meal sorry I just didn't like it nearly as much as the original song .

Personally thought, this version is better than the original. Speaking of marina, she has any picture or make any videoclip I'm curious for how she looks, since LiSA appears in Little Braver clip. |

): I feel the same... I like Iwasawa's character and voice more than Yui's and usually prefer her songs, but I happened to fall in love with Yui's Thousand Enemies, and when I heard Hot Meal I was dissapointed. The instrumental, lyrics and vocals sound alot better in Thousand Enemies... sorry Iwasawa ♥
