Really loved the song since I first heard it as the opening of Domestic na Kanojo, and as a closer look at the lyrics, it really fits the storyline it's paired with.

Such an amazing song, I can't get over it. Manami has such a powerful voice; those 'screams' she built in, they make the song so much more convincing and are so well done in general... And I don't think I've ever heard a japanese singer using her voice like her. Feel free to recommend me any if you know similar ones.

Those "screams" that she makes really feels emotional, the lyrics also fit well as an opening song of Domestic Kanojo anime. Her voice kinda reminds me of Aimer's voice at some point as well, which is something.

She is still new singer (even though she is already famous in Japan as Utaite (cover singer) in site like Nico nico douga) but she already deliver this level of singing skill, especially that scream and fast rhythm chorus are awesome. More special because she wrote and arranged "Kawaki wo Ameku" (and also her other songs) by herself.

Look forward to her work/song in the future. Definitely one of my new favorite singer beside Sumika (Wotakoi OP, I want to eat your Pancreas OP, IS, and ED song)

LMAO, I was just listening to the music video when I went to MAL and saw this notification! What a coincidence!

This music is incredible, I'm really impressed by the music coming out this season, and this is one of the best even for this season! Domestic na Kanojo did well on making the visual for their OP with this song. Literally many of my friends are watching Domestic na Kanojo, and they come for the 'odd star' but stayed for the story and of course... To listen to this beautiful music in its OP!

Go and listen to some Shiina Ringo (椎名林檎), especially her first two albums 無罪モラトリアム (Muzai Moratorium) and 勝訴ストリップ (Shōso Strip). Seiko Oomori would also be worth a listen...check out 魔法が使えないなら死にたい (Mahō ga Tsukaenainara Shinitai) and/or 絶対少女 (Zettai Shōjo) – her more "raw" albums from her indie era. I'd also say to look for her 2012 live CD「音楽を捨てよ、そして音楽へ」.

Yep, agreed with you. Like unravel, this OP seems to represent the anime itself.

One of my favorites OP this Winter, Somehow the lyrics, the voice, the emotion really suit and fit the anime itself (character, plot, storyline). She also has quite an unique voice, i loved all of the part of the song, The piano intro, verse, and the Chorus (the rap is really good). TBH this Winter has a lot of good OP's.

It is rare that I dont skip the OP of a show cause I often feel like if i watch it I will figure out what happens later in the show, but man i have not skipped this OP once.
The opening part of it always gives me goose bumps and hooks me in to listen to the rest of it. And the imagery is also really interesting and helps tell the story along side the song.

Brilliant song with really good visuals for a music video!
Easy 8/10! I’m not keeping up with DomeKano because I know I won’t like it anyway, but there’s no doubt its Op is certainly one of the finest of this season.

I don't even watch DomeKano nor do I plan to but I kept seeing this opening in 'Top Openings of Winter 2019' videos so I finally decided to search for the full song, and boy is it god tier.

She's such an incredible singer, the song is so unique (compared to what I've heard before), the lyrics are really meaningful and the music video is really well done. What more could you ask for? I'm definitely checking out her other stuff.

This is the new #1 MV on MAL (by score):
https://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=&type=6&score=0&status=2&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=a&c[1]=b&c[2]=c&c[3]=f&gx=0&o=3&w=1

The video itself is nothing special but the music and especially Minami's singing performance more than makes up for that.

This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

My thoughts exactly. Genius music videos like "Monotonous Purgatory" and "The TV Show" don't even crack the top 3000 but sits at #99? To each their own? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It would be nice to see more music videos and short films ranking here, since I think they are unfairly compared to longer entries.

Pretty cool, but still highly overrated, there are better music-type anime out there.

I'd be interested in how much of the ranking is affected by those who like the OP of the related anime/the related anime by itself.

I liked the use of music in this anime,and the ending song was great,but the opening song was one of the best tracks I've ever heard,and the opening sequence alone is superb.Well worth its entry into the MAL database

As for you,this was most likely voted for and put into the mal entry not for the video,but for the music.

yes, but it's listed under Top 100 Anime, not music. it basically shifted Mob Psycho out of the top 100. just a single music clip. i don't really think that's fair

wish mal had some separate charts for this kind of stuff

Yeah,I see what your getting at,and MAL should have a seperate top 100 list for ED/OP music,or even just anime music in general,as theres so many damn good tracks,and it shouldn't have edged out a popular anime like Mob Psycho(which I haven't,and probably won't watch),but I can see also the reason for including it in because it does have its own video.Oh well,thems the breaks I suppose.Maybe ask an admin about the possibilty of a top 100 anime music?

Nothing to forgive,we all have our own opinions,me,I love the song,don't care too much for the vid due to already liking the vid in the opening of DomeKano,so there you go,we agree to disagree :)

I was looking for the highest rated music videos in MAL so I came across this banger and the last thing I had expected was for this to be the opening for the notorious Domestic Girlfriend.

I definitely have to admit that it's a good song because the singer really knows how to give her all! It reminded me a lot of Fullmetal Alchemist's first opening too so that's another good thing to say about this.
