[PV] Tsukiakari no Michishirube by Stereopony

It took me awhile to get a hang to this. I’ll admit it; I’m not such a huge fan of this song nor of Stereopony. I do however think that it’s better than their take on Gundam 00 OP, Namida no Mukou. DTB Gemini ED by abingdon boys school is better but the single is not out yet but I’ll post it up as soon as it is released. If you want the song, you can get the PV rip here. Cheers!

[PV] HOLOGRAM by NICO Touches the Walls

This is the 2nd opening song for FMA2: Brotherhood. One of the awesome of opening songs for any anime, if not, for the franchise. I don’t really listen to NICO Touches the Walls but I do know the band did a song for Naruto before, which I presume to be where their success had kicked-off. The full PV rip of the song is also available here for download.

[PV] Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi – UVERworld

Here’s something for the Gundam and UVERworld fans alike. UVERworld had released the PV for their latest single, Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi, which was used for the opening theme for Gundam 00 season 2. So my verdict? The song sounds way better in the OP rather than the full PV cover. Either way, the fans would definitely be itching to have their hands on this PV. For the full PV rip, click here.

Code Geass R2 Second OP and ED

Yes, it’s a little late for me to introduce the new OP and ED for Code Geass R2 now. But not doing so doesn’t seems right to me anyway, so I give it a go. In addition to the usual sceencaps and video of the OP and ED, I’ll add the PV for WORLD END performed by Flow.

Word of the Voice [PV] by FLOW

The song is just amazing. It’s good, very good. And I have really wished that this song was made for Code Geass R2 instead. But I guess it’s a fair thing to do as well. Otherwise Code Geass would only become a lot better. Why not? If the OP for their first season, which is COLORS by FLOW took top honours in many anime awards in Japan. One of the comments of my previous post on Shiawase Neiro suggested (or rather confirmed) that the second OP will be by FLOW once again with the title WORLD END. But heck, it is confirmed! And whether you’ll be surprised by this or not, even the second ED is another comeback by ALI PROJECT. Odd? I don’t think so.

Before we get all excited for the highly anticipated OP by FLOW, let’s get to their latest single, WORD OF THE VOICE which was also used as OP for Persona -Trinity Soul-. As I described earlier, the song is amazing. The PV may be a tad too odd, even if to compare with the anime Persona, I’d say it’s still good. But then again, what’s up with the green paint… and that topless guy?

Fret not. This song is also available for download on this blog. Now,  you can enjoy this song on your iPod (or maybe your iPhone?). And no, I’m not gimmicking that Apple guy *glares at Steve*

p/s: still getting over the iPhone 3G fever…

Shiawase Neiro [PV] by Orange Range

Orange Range’s latest single, Shiawase Neiro, had just been released. And yes, it’s a song from Code Geass R2 for its ending song. This PV is typical of any other Japanese PV. The featured story is about the separation of a couple which ended with a reunion. Isn’t it typical? Anyway, it is a song about happiness. No harm done there. Nonetheless, I do not like this song as much as O2. Even after said that, both songs are not of my liking. I really wish Flow do the song for Code Geass R2 next time around because they sure did well for Persona ~trinity soul~ with their song, Word of the Voice. Maybe I should post that up later?

The song is now available for download from this blog. Click here to start downloading.

O2 [PV] by ORANGE RANGE

The PV for Code Geass R2 OP song, O2 by Orange Range had been released two weeks ago. Yes, I am quite late on this. Nonetheless, here’s the PV and also some of my thoughts about the PV. ORANGE RANGE is always quirky in many of their PV and O2 is no exception. It is interesting that they bring in the medieval Japan setting to the PV and what is even more interesting is how they portray themselves to possess special powers. Not that I want to compare it with Code Geass but one of them did use a power similar to Rollo’s, which is to stop people’s movement. Have a good laugh watching this PV.

You can also download the song here. Also included in this post is VELTPUNCH’s Crawl and Elisa’s Hikari from the anime Nabari no Ou. Cheers!

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.
