Ash Like Snow [PV] by the brilliant green

Keeping up to the demand, both of the new OP and ED for Gundam 00 – Ash Like Snow and Friends – are available for download. Also added is SEAMO’s Mata Aimashou which received quite a request recently. Happy downloading.

Following suit is the PV for Ash For Snow by the brilliant green. Maybe some of you have never heard of the brilliant green before but you might recall the band’s female lead singer  from Tommy february6 who did the OP and ED for Paradise Kiss. Ash Like Snow is applauded for the OP job for Gundam 00 as the first one, Daybreak’s Bell is does not tune well to the anime. This song which is faster paced and great music buildup is fitting for this anime of such genre. However I can’t say the same for the PV. Indeed you can see Haro and a sniper rifle, suggesting strongly of the Gundam influence into the PV and they chose the best man among the four (and my favourite) – Lockon Stratos. However the idea of having a couple of pandas doing the sniping job and the obviously fake explosion make this PV rather, how should I say it, horrid. Thankfully the animators did a much better job for the OP in Gundam 00. Otherwise the song is only best left to listen to. Again I said that the song’s buildup is good but that’s about it. I really like of how the song reaches towards the chorus but having it repetitively is not so great after all. Overall Friends (the song used for ED) is better, I repeat, overall. And not because that I am biased.
