Phantom Requiem: OP Single – KARMA by KOKIA
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ in my opinion, definitely has one of the best OP for this season, thanks to KARMA by KOKIA. This dark, gothic track will definitely send chills down to your spine. Everything works out so perfectly from the vocal layering to its dramatic melody. It may not be the type that you’ll regularly listen to for others, but it’s still amazing on how it’s well-put together. I guess that BeeTrain had also combined a creative style in amination that fits it so much with the song too, which really made the OP of it stands out among others.
The other track, Insonnia, is less intense though, but it was really likable and that means it’s good. One thing to describe this one probably is that it is ethereal. It feels so peaceful and like a lullaby being sung to you. Another great track. Overall, this single is awesome. I’ll give it an ‘A’

K-On!: OP Single – CAGAYAKE! Girls
K-On!’s OP Single, “CAGAYAKE! Girls” is more of your love it or hate it seiyuu J-Pop song. It’s tweeny, upbeat, fun and just like any other seiyuu song, it fits the “moe” vibe of the series. I don’t listen to these kind of genre in a regular basis though, so I’ll pass on putting this up on any of my playlists. The song tackles about slice-of-life about girls. The lyrics are fun. Yui’s seiyuu was the one leading the song, and I guess she did a good job of making it sound silly and bright: just like Yui.
The second song “Happy!? Sorry!!” was yet another typical, generic J-Pop song, so it’s a pass for me on this one as well. I just don’t like these type of genre, just like what I’ve mentioned before.

K-On!: ED Single – Don’t Say ‘Lazy’
Well, this is all we’ve been waiting for… The ED Single of K-On! I must say that the ED Single was the most awesome thing this show ever had so far (besides from the regular moe fix for fans) because of its contemporary rock music, catchy tune and a genius music video concept. The ED Single “Don’t Say ‘Lazy”” was overall nothing astounding, but it’s absolutely enjoyable to listen to. And I love Mio’s seiyuu’s voice!!!
The other single “Sweet Bitter Beauty Song” features stronger vocals, and it gave me a more “rock” vibe to it. Btw, I find the title cute~ Anyway, if there would be characters songs for K-On!, I will definitely look forward to them.
