I semi-agree. The new OP is brilliant, the new ED is anything but.

No, I'm slightly on the other side of the opinion fence. I like both tunes okay but the ED slightly better. I'm wondering if they compressed the OP audio slightly for timing.

Sparvid · 2010-04-08, 15:45

Yeah, I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt until I've heard the full length. Also, the instrumental version.

Found this at nico, put up at youtube:

Thought it's the real full thing, but apparently it's just very good mixing.

MeisterBabylon · 2010-04-08, 19:09

Go! Go! still makes me laugh, but wow Listen is @______@

I agree, they jumped into Rock and Roll this season, and while the OP is a bit of a joke, I guess Uiharu's just being in character. Listen however, is what I expect of Mio.

Or rather, how Mio always appears cooler in the ED than in the actual show!

SaintessHeart · 2010-04-09, 06:26

If anyone realised : the ED's drums are similar to Don't Say Lazy's. Double pedals occuring only at the chorus, though the bass-snare-bass-snare-...-snare triplet-snare double quaver is replaced with sweeps across the set.

Here's my stab at mixing all 5 girls version of Let's Go!! but instead of overlapping the voices I chose to slice and splice segments and give each girl a turn with Azusa bringing it home in the end. There seems to be a way to over lap them without phase/volume issues but I'll try that next time.

Enjoy!

In "Listen!!", what is the name of the instrument in Mugi's synthesizer that she uses in the video?

Or you can just rip the actual song of the first K-ON! Radion! Special CD that came out 2 months ago.

Pekasus · 2010-04-11, 09:02

Can't wait to get the full version of the Listen!!
If I understood it right, it will be 28.4 when it comes out..

New OP is like the old one for me.. I don't hate it, I don't love it, it's just there..

What's the fun in that?

Manwards · 2010-04-11, 15:40

As with the first series, I prefer the new OP to the ED. "Listen!!" is good, but it plays it a bit too safe, whereas "GO! GO! MANIAC" or whatever is joyously over the top, more memorable and much more complex in composition. It's just fun, always going a little further than you'd think. I wish it were a little more guitar-heavy - the reason I adore "Cagayake! GIRLS" is because of those heavy opening riffs contrasted with Yui's light vocals - but there's bound to be a solo somewhere in the full version.

Uh, let's see... not having to deal with mixing separate files into one; not having to worry about audio desynch and any other such problems. Did I miss anything?

I think the EDs are a reflection of what Mio might like to be rather than what she is. The reality is her fatal embarrassment knob is set to maximum.

First off thanks for the heads up on the Radion version of th song.

2nd mixing music is a hobby of mine and hopefully a 2nd source of income in the future so I love doing this kind of stuff

Most likely a Hammond B3 organ

GreatTeacherKen · 2010-04-11, 19:33

I don't really like Go! Go! Maniac! as much as Cagayake! Girls, though I do like the animation that accompanies it. I guess it's a bit too enthusiastic for my tastes.

I like Listen! a lot, I guess I just prefer Yoko Hikasa's singing style since I greatly preferred Don't Say Lazy over Cagayake! Girls.

I kind of want to see the girls become a professional band some time, if only because we'll see them wear the kind of clothing displayed in the ED animation more.

She always looks good, but I have to say black dress Mio is hot.

Marcus H. · 2010-04-11, 19:37

No, I mean the instrument setting in the synth that gives out the "psychadelic" notes. I'm making sheet music for this one and I can't seem to place which instrument she plays.

Organ. In some synths it would go under the function of "disco" if I am not wrong.
