Probably not a song you’d expect me to blog, and probably not even an anime you thought I’d watch, although I have mentioned I love slice of life. But you should now know from the new watchlist I put up. I’ve watched every season of Minami-ke, or whatever people consider them to be, OVAs, or season or whatever. I loved them all, the whole talking about nonsense type anime is fun to watch. So I decided that I’d direct your attention to this as well and give you a listen to this very cheerful, very buoyant and very energetic opening theme, Shiawase High Tension by the three voice actors of the Minami-ke sisters, Satou Rina, Inoue Marina, Chihara Minori.



I’ll be honest here, there isn’t actually anything ‘that’ special about this song. But I dunno, I’ve enjoyed every Minami-ke opening. I guess it’s that energy that’s attracted me, particularly now that I seem to be tired a lot. The song’s so ‘bouncy’ and catchy and the energy’s too contagious. And you just gotta love the chibi.

A few other songs have my interest this season as well, and I want to blog them, but time is short for me these days. I’ll see if I can get one up next week. Should be able to, but as I said, tiredness is getting to me as well. Hopefully, it’s just my body adjusting to starting work.
