Kurokami OP Single - sympathizer by Minami Kuribayashi

Kurokami OPThe Kurokami OP Single has just been released! I don't understand the release dates of these OP/ED singles. Sometimes we have to wait until the whole anime series is over to have the single, and sometimes after just 1 or 2 episodes, the OP and ED gets released!!! I wonder which ones sell better? The Kurokami OP theme song is entitled sympathizer by Minami Kuribayashi (of Mai-Hime/Otome fame).

You can download the full OP Single here.

Tracklist:

1. sympathizer
2. Sora no Kotae
3. sympathizer (off vocal)
4. Sora no Kotae (off vocal)

5.5/10 I know a lot of you will hate me for this rating, but I like to be honest... After listening to this song a few times, I had mixed feelings. It's really weird with Minami Kuribayashi, I find some of her songs to be really awesome (the Mai Hime songs, especially Chiisana Hoshi ga Oriru Toki <3) and some others quite good (the Mai Otome songs), but after a while I just can't listen to them anymore (except Chiisana). I don't know why, but they really start annoying me... In Sympathizer, her voice feels forced at times, especially in those high notes. I really prefer when she sings lower... While I think the song gets better after 2:51, it's still not enough for me to really like it...

Kurokami ED Album - Irodori no Nai Sekai by Yousei Teikoku

Kurokami EDKurokami (Black God) is the latest anime by Sunrise. It's based on a Korean manga and last week I watched the first episode, which was really very entertaining (thank you GRZ for the recommandation!). The ED theme song is called Irodori no Nai Sekai by Yousei Teikoku. I love it when ED theme songs are released that quickly, especially when they release a full ED album like this one! For those of you who are not familira with Yousei Teikoku,their works include the theme songs of the anime shows Magical Pokan, Innocent Venus, and the Mai-HiME videogame soundtrack (which featured their awesome songs Fortuna and Last Moment).

You can download the full ED album here.

Tracklist:

1. Irodori no Nai Sekai
2. Destrudo
3. Valtica
4. Tooi Maboroshi
5. Alte Burg
6. Irodori no Nai Sekai (instrumental)

8.5/10 When I first saw that Yousei Teikoku was going to do the Kurokami ending song, I was expecting a typical Yousei Teikoku fast-paced song with techno beats. But in fact, what I got was a slow and moving ballad with a great melody. What a nice surprise! It is such a beautiful song... I'm thinking of maybe doing a piano cover for it!

Check out a video of the song here:
