After several listens, Ive decided to put all my cards on this being a second cour OP. As previously mentioned by @Zyzyoro , it is 90 seconds. It also follows the standard anime opening musical progression to a T: short, no-vocal build up with base drum/snare -> verse one -> bridge, leading to a quick climax with the strike of the piano and split second silence -> chorus -> sudden key change at the end of the chorus -> short piano outro. Seriously, listen to just about any anime opening. They all sound very similar in terms of progression. Itâs all about quick build up, slow build up, climax, high speed, then sudden drop-off at the end.
Besides, that would follow Keyâs past pattern too. Second cour = brand new OP/ED. Although, it would be different since its not a vocal arrange of a BGM.
Normally, Iâd say this was too upbeat to be an ED (which have a different kind of progression anyway). HOWEVER, this is a Key anime weâre talking about, so I wouldnt put it past them.
Whatever it is, I really like this song. Anri Kumaki proves once again that she has a really beautiful voice. I hope we continue to hear stuff from her.
