Surprised this was on there, but still good nonetheless. Ranka FTW!

Koeda's voice...*sigh*... is why the instrumental version of My Dearest is my favorite song on the single.

Dot dot dot.

Connect was good but I definitely prefer Magia.

Agreed.

Steins;Gate where?

Also agreed. OP and ED are both amazing--especially the latter.

@DraconisMarch: What? Koeda's voice drowns out the rich complexity in the instrumental version. Koeda's pitch just tends to waver in a certain zone unchanging, making the entire song sound repetitive. When you remove her voice, you here the symphonic elements in the background rising and falling, drums building up tension, and crashing guitars signifying raging climax. It's quite an experience to listen to at full volume. =D

Dude, her voice is frickin' beautiful. And she's only 15 years old.

Maybe the equalizing is off and her voice is too loud compared to the background music, but still... that doesn't make her voice bad.

Her voice IMO, is not bad per se, but it was unsuited for singing My Dearest. Her voice lacked the raw power and quality to match the intensity of the song. It's probably not her fault; it would probably take someone with a voice as powerful as Nana Mizuki to sing My Dearest at it's fullest potential. However there is no doubt in my mind that Koeda couldn't do it. =/
