It's high time for a new ED song review! Today I'll be reviewing the Maria Holic Ending Theme song entitled Kimi ni, Mune Kyun and sung by Asami Sanada, Yu Kobayashi and Marina Inoue. For my review of the Maria Holic OP theme song, it's here.
Tracklist:
1. Kimi ni, Mune Kyun. 2. Neko Mimi Rhythm 3. Kimi ni, Mune Kyun. Original Karaoke 4. Neko Mimi Rhythm Original Karaoke
4/10 This song is all about cheesy pop and synth voices. In short, not the kind of songs I like. It sounds childish and cheap. Or maybe I'm just getting too old for this kind of music. What do my readers think? Am I being too harsh?
The ED single of Minami-ke: Okaeri has just been released, the name of the song is Zettai Colourful Sengen and like the OP it is sung by Minori Chihara, Rina Sato and Marino Inoue.
1. Zettai Colourful Sengen 2. One More! 3. Zettai Colourful Sengen Karaoke 4. One More! Karaoke
2.5/10 After the atrocious OP, I wasn't expecting much, and I was right so... I think the ED is even shittier sounding than the OP, and that was hard to top! The voices sound as lame as ever, and the melody is inexistent. The music is embarassing and the song sounds just bad...
Minami-ke: Okaeri is the third season of the Minami-ke anime. The OP theme song is entitled Keikenchi Sokojoujou and is sung by the main vocal cast (Rina Sato, Marina Inoue and Minori Chihara).
1. Keikenchi Sokujoujou 2. Triple LOVE ~Uchi he Oi de mase~ 3. Keikenchi Sokujoujou Karaoke 4. Triple LOVE ~Uchi he Oi de mase~ Karaoke
3/10 What a disappointment! When I saw that Minori Chihara (Ga Rei Zero ED2) and Marina Inoue (Le Portrait de Petite Cossette ED) were involved, I wasn't expecting such a crappy song. I should have looked more closely at the anime of course, which is a slice of life comedy with three young girls. But still! Marina Inoue did the awesome Yuki Kajiura song Houseki, but I hardly recognized her voice in this song... I'm really not into quirky and girly J-Pop songs... What do you think? Do you like the OP?
The seventh song from the Yuki Kajiura Live Concert DVD is Houseki from the "le portrait de petit cossette" OVA and it is originally sung by Marina Inoue. For this concert however, FictionJunction KEIKO (aka the creepy one) sang Houseki. You can find the high quality video file (courtesy of canta-per-me.net) right here with all the other songs...

9/10 Yet another amazing song from "le portrait de petit cossette"! I'm not sure which version of the song I prefer. FictionJunction Kreepy (sorry, Keiko) does an amazing job, and I love her deep alto voice. Her voice sounds way more mature than Marina's. And for once, Keiko didn't do any weird smiles or stares during the performance of this song, so it's even more enjoyable! LOL There is however way too much arm movement! What's up with that? Does she have bugs flying in her face or is she trying to be overdramatic? It's hard to tell... Please don't overdo it Keiko!
Here's the PV of the original song from Marina Inoue:
