VisualArt's has just uploaded a new video to their YouTube channel, and the title says it all! A preview of the previously announced insert song for the upcoming Rewrite Anime, "End of the World", has now been uploaded and is available for your viewing pleasure in the video above. The
Thank goodness the song sounds more GirlDeMo-like than How-Low-Hello-like. Maeda has finally come to his senses. :3 Iâm glad he uses more rock elements, rather than bass elements.
I donât know about the singer for the song⌠Her voice is very soft, and Maeda uses a lot of instrumental background instrument that would be more suitable for someone like Runa Mizutani, LiSA, or Marina. Iâd rather hear Anri Kumaki sing a acoustic version of it. It would be beautiful. But I donât know the lyrics, so maybe its suitable for Anriâs voice, maybe not.
Other than that, I loved the ending. The piano playing was beautiful
Seriously though, have you even bothered to listen to the How-Low-Hello album? Because I simply cannot imagine how you would think that Maeda was out of his senses when making those songs.
Well,to be honest when i first heard of the song Title [End of the World] i expected the song would give me the vibe of something similar to Umineko soundtrack with similar name or Rewrite Original Soundtrack - Finale But it turn out to be completely different than i thought Still a very nice song though
Going to guess its an insert song. âPhilosophyzâ and âSasayaka na Hajimariâ are specifically labeled as an Opening and Ending respectively on Rewrite TVâs official website, while âEnd of the Worldâ is not. Ontop of that, the same singer performed the insert song for Charlotteâs last episode.
If there was any indication it was going to be an Opening or Ending, it would be the fact the video is 90 seconds in length.
In my opinion, the song is not bad. Like other anime songs, perhaps seeing it in the show itself with context will help me enjoy it more.
My introduction to Kumaki was a song she performed for a Makoto Shinkai movie a few years ago, a really lovely piece by Tenmon (my fave composer for visual novels, after Maeda, of course!) Itâs neat that sheâs working with Maeda now! Their styles gel well together, as âKimi no Mojiâ has shown.
I did listen to the album. I didnât like it. It sounded kinda generic. Bad-generic to me. How-Low-Hello does have its good songs, but for the most, itâs uninteresting to me. Not to mention the irrelevancy of How-Low-Hello in the anime. Maybe I just didnât like the repetitive chorus that seemed/felt the same to my ears
And Oppai ! itâs the âend of the worldâ for humanity with perverted senses from Kotarou
This is really a great song for the Rewrite anime. I think it would work out since the theme is pretty much in tune with the way how the series is concerned. Iâm not sure what else to say about but it sounds the song could do very well for how they will use it in terms of the anime.
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.
