Note: Two negima tracks? WHAT IS THIS. That would have stuck out like finding two redwood trees towering inside in a rock garden. Well, regardless of eligibility...

The biggest problem this week is lack of diversity. All this new crap, and a lot of the stuff isn't even really all that good compared to the best of the specific type of image songs one could choose from. but oh well, it's not like i had time to do anything about it.

Nano Desu - This is a great little track. Just addictive enough but not that addictive.
+1

Maze of the Dark - That Yuinyan Chaos;Head image album pwns this. As is, it tried.

Kufufu no Fu ~Boku to Keiyaku~ - For guy image tracks, this is actually pretty good! Smooth, not grating, delivery is p. good.
+1

Koiiro Sora - new wave seiyuu idol image songs often are great, this is a good example. I like a lot of them better than their own individual works...See #8. I think half of the reason is because they actually act via their image songs, adding extra emotes. Much more so than if they were just to sing something produced for them.

Daijoubui - Ha.

Mata Ashita! - Two thumbs up. This is proper image song splooge material.
+2

Mayonaka no Philosophy - Good song, actually. Above average. But not this week.

My Heartful Song - Black Daimond > * She's very much singing in her own voice here, like all the Shugo Chara pieces. It would make a great track on her own album >_>
+1 probably would have more points if it is more in character.

Fufufu - I totally should've nominated RADAR MAN. orz And we have 2 negima tracks this week. orz. And we have a K-ON image song. orz. Or that song I like so much from Aquarian Age TV. orz.
+1 for lols.

Dear My Keys - I like two things about this song--the 80s feel with the whole 76-keys phrase, and Kotobuki has a very good delivery for a song that's otherwise pretty average and not inspiring (except the arrangement...but probably because they wanted to do some keyboard-y thing with it). Don't really like it otherwise. Still makes it much above average fare.

zzeroparticle tagged it wrong. One is from Mahou Sensei Negima! The other is from Negima?! You know the differences (Xebek vs. SHAFT, (mostly) faithful adaptation vs. AU), and so on.

Ah, ok.

Still unacceptable in the sense that it is really cheating since the characters are not really different between the two. Honestly having even one Negima track is kind of D:

Hoo boy. I don't know if my ears can handle this. Time to put on a brave face an plunge in!

01. Nano Desu - Higurashi
Yui Horie knows how to be silly, that's for sure. I think there needs to be a moratorium on how often she's assigned characters who make "cute" noises. Other than that, it's pretty standard for what I expect out of her. It's better than the one she sang for Bakemonogatari though.

02. Maze of the Dark - Negima!
Voice really seems detached, which.. well, is this how her character is? I mean, there's not a whole lot here to grab one's attention since it goes along kinda predictability and the only thing that catches my ears are the electric guitars.

03. Kufufu no Fu ~Boku to Keiyaku~ - Reborn
Well, the introduction was shaky, but glad to see the male characters get some representation. Not really sure how to put my finger on this since the transitions are a bit strange. Are his romantic notions (I assume most songs are love songs unless I have a better inclination) in character? Ah well~

04. Koiiro Sora - White Album
Yes. Easiest decision ever made. So tranquil.. so perfect! Pianos? Excellent!
+2

05. Daijoubui - Kanamemo
Note to self: Aki Toyosaki has transcended badness for some time and this one is further proof of that.

06. Mata Ashita! - Ouran Host Club
Mass of singers get my approval. This thing works because they offer a mass of voices that blend together well with the instrumentals. Very upbeat, very nice.
+2

07. Mayonaka no Philosophy - Negima!
Wistful and calming in the beginning, nice percussion thing in the middle. Ehh.. care cup isn't too full here.

08. My Heartful Song - Shugo Chara
No one's going to confuse this for her character since Mizuki's mark is all over this. It's still lively and wonderful to listen to though.
+1

09. Fufufu - Maria+holic
lolz

10. Dear My Keys -Kenban no Mahou- - K-ON
Solid.

- not exactly that great, but kind of interesting....

Koiiro Sora - White Album +2
- Nice! I don't plan to watch the anime but I enjoy this a lot, probably due to the piano and the sad mood it seems to convey

Mata Ashita! - Ouran Host Club +2
- still a favourite, just brightens up my day

Nano Desu - Higurashi (watched first season): This song almost makes me not want to watch the second season, the later OVAs, and on and on. I remember when just the "Hau" part of the song was spammed to hell and back when it came on, which irritated the hell out of me. Everything besides that isn't bad, though hearing Hocchan sound so cute bugs me.

Maze of the Dark - Mahou Sensei Negima! (have not seen): Eh. Like her song from Negima?! better, but this isn't that bad.

Kufufu no Fu ~Boku to Keiyaku~ - Reborn (have not seen): The change in feel from the verse to the refrain is a little jarring. But not bad. +1

Koiiro Sora - White Album (have not seen): Just wondering if the songs in this show are better than this, since I like this. Subjective, I know, but hey. :3 +1

Daijoubui - Kanamemo (completed): Sorry, Aki Toyosaki, but no. Just, no. I always skip this song whenever it comes up on the OST list.

Mata Ashita! - Ouran Host Club (mostly through): Wish that there were more collab songs like this. Gives a good feeling. +1

Mayonaka no Philosophy - Negima!? (completed): I was deliberating between this, another Negima!? image song, and a Hidamari Sketch song, but it came down to who sang to the song better, and I felt that that was the case here. I also wanted to go in a different route than the usual pop-ish stuff I hear for image songs. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that tack, but oh well. I like the French-ish feel of it. +1

My Heartful Song - Shugo Chara (partially watched): More subdued Mizuki, which is d("d). +1

Fufufu - Maria+Holic (completed): One of the best parts of the anime. :P +1

Dear My Keys -Kenban no Mahou- - K-ON! (completed): Reminds me of ABBA in a way. Also reminds me of Suemitsu & the Suemith, so hey.

Guys, come on.

Daijoubui is clearly one of the funniest things you have ever heard. I literally was walking through a store the first time I heard the song.

I fell in love with Aki upon viewing K-On (Who didnt love Yui? Aki just plays an airhead so well) and then I wathced Kanamemo, and my jesus

When I heard this song I tried so hard to hold back laughter, thankfully the store wasn't too crowded, and i could giggle silently in a unpopulated part of thestore.

Other than that, I haven't heard any of these songs other than Dear My Keys (I might download that pack to humor you all), and I must say, anything that that power group spits out,, i mindlessly follow like a drone. I am a musician myself, a drummer, but honestly, K-On struck a chord with me (no pun intended). Good music, Slice of Life, Funny as hell...

What more could I ask for?
