The Polling Rank of '99 Japan Animation Single vol.2
[GGG-147]

Overal rating: Pretty good. Since it has more recent stuff, it's harder for me to comment on, but there are songs on this CD that I adore^^.

Track/title/anime Comments

1. Pray/ GPX Cyber Formula OAV SIN Certainly not to my taste. It's almost like a gospel song? Or would you call it soul? Well, whatever, I'm not particular fond of the singer and it's a bit slow for me as an opening theme.

2. My Rest Pose/ GPX Cyber Formula OAV SIN By the same group as Pray (LAZY) and of a similar style.

3. -AKA-/ Akihabara Dennogumi ... GOOD song, anyone?? OOOHH!! Masami Okui is awesome! I was very impressed by this song and drawn to Cyber Team in Akihabara especially because of this song. I'm addicted!!

4. IN MY DREAM/ Brain Powered A tolerable one. Another unimpressing singer, but otherwise, sure, go ahead and listen to it if you have the opportunity^^.

5. Ai Just on my love/ Sorcerous Stabber Orphen An addictive song to say the least. I don't mind the singer and the tune is good. The only thing with this is... the jazzy thing doesn't seem to fit with the ainime that well ^_^.

6. Power of Love/ Kirara OVA Another one of those songs that has a great start... only to be ruined by turning all happy!!

7. Smile Again/ Kirara OAV Masako Iwanaga strikes again-- oh, I *don't* like her style at all....(as in the Reideen songs I didn't like^^ eheheh...)

8. _ ni _reru dakedo/ Rurouni Kenshin ... Not very good in my opinion... but tolerable... I suppose.

9. Dame!/ Rurouni Kenshin A try at rock, but not to my taste again.

10. ROCKET DIVE/ AWOL Uh... amusing? It's done by a group called 'Hide with Spread Beaver'... uh huh. That's definitely interesting.... Funny singing/ voice alteration or something ^_^!

11. Onaji __ / DT Atron Slow and kinda like a relaxing-beach song. I like the melody and the singer is soft and emotional.

12. Akogare/ Lupin the 3rd~ TOKYO CRISIS Sung by Megumi Hayashibara?? It sez it's sung by "Maria"... does she do a voice in Lupin named Maria?? I looked, but I didn't find any evidence of this?? It's slow, nonetheless, and makes me think of a 50's diner.

13. Hitotsu no Heart de/ Wataru A cute song with a cute melody. Decent.

14. GET THE WORLD/ Let's and Go!! WGP Hironobu Kageyama. I say I like his name... I certainly DON'T like his singing style.

15. We are the VICTORYS/ Let's and Go!! WGP Yes, I realize victories is spelled wrong, but that's the way it's listed, okay? ^_^ Annoying little boys sing a song ^^.

16. Dearest/ Martian Successor Nadesico~prince of darkness~ This is the movie theme. I like this song plenty much. Yumi Matsuzawa does a nice vocal with this type of song. It's slow, but with some interesting accompaniment which spices it up.
