Song Of The Week 439 – Nanairo Symphony by coalamode

This song is probably not as well-known as the first opening theme for the anime, which was also my favourite as well, but still a great song. I wanted a bit of a pickup song as I’ve had a really terrible day, ironic that I went with Shigatsu, but I did remember that the second OP had a really upbeat melody so I decided to listen to this again. Then I nearly ended up ‘cutting onions’, if you know what I mean, but strangely it did make me feel better so who knew. Here is Nanairo Symphony by coalamode.

Song Of The Week 432 – around the world by m.o.v.e.

A quick one from me this time. I was looking up some classic anime OPs and remembered some great ones that I haven’t heard in many years. The first one of that lot I came across was this great classic from Initial D, here is around the world by m.o.v.e.

Song Of The Week 414 – Unravel by TK

Very late, apologies, I’m still in and out of hospital and getting used to the one sided hearing. It’s actually not as bad as I thought, but still need to make sure it’s nothing even more serious so not had much time given my work and various other projects still ongoing. Either way, finally found some time so here is my SOTW.

Annoying because of the ear thing I’ve also not watched much anime and that’s generally where my inspiration for SOTW comes from. So I’ve decided to go for one of the most iconic songs of the decade and you may not have seen the anime, like me, but I’m sure you’ll have heard the opening words of this song. Here is Unravel by TK.

Song Of The Week 412 – RISE by MADKID

As previously mentioned in my really late season preview blog, I will be providing an update on what’s currently going on in my life very soon. But first, I did want to get the SOTW up as regardless of what my update will say, I do at least want to keep the blog active somewhat and post these out.

Whilst I am behind on my anime which is nothing new, I am keeping up to date with a few anime so far this season, one of them being The Rising of the Shield Hero. To be honest I have mentioned before I’m always sceptical of any new isekai anime but after a few episodes I have been told that it’s quite good and so I gave it a shot. So far so good and I’m enjoying it, and hence why the SOTW for its opening theme, I do love a rap in songs as well, especially the message of ‘rising up’ is certainly helping my mentality right now. Here is RISE by MADKID.

Song Of The Week 392 – Kanashii Ureshii by Frederic

Koi to Uso was a bit of a strange anime as it explored an interesting solution to a depopulating Japan, which is to force people to get married when they hit marriage age. The annoying thing is that it never really followed through on that plot and kinda diverted to a weird love triangle storyline that I actually can’t remember the ending. However, the OP theme was an instant hit for me with its great catchy tune and weirdly memorable music video. I’m not sure I’d recommend the anime, but the OP is definitely one to look at, here is Kanashii Ureshii by Frederic.
