Posted by It seems like all I’ve been talking about in the past while is sphere and its members, so I’ll refer you to the Asobi ni Iku yo OP and Takagaki Ayahi PV posts for a quick rundown on what these four lovely ladies have been up to. I will add that this seiyuu group is an easy sell for me since it’s comprised of four female seiyuu whom I’d be happy to see starring in any series. As music artists, it doesn’t hurt that they’re all pretty attractive and can sing fairly well, which Music Ray’n‘s decision to have them all as solo artists as well seems to reaffirm. Their latest single as a group is titled “Now loading…SKY!!” and is currently featured as the opening theme of the sci-fi romantic comedy Asobi ni Iku yo — a series where all four girls have prominent roles in. While I’m not actively covering the show here, I am following it on a weekly basis and it’s proving to be a nice guilty pleasure of mine. (e.g. I love how the characters keep changing outfits, particularly Kinjou Manami.)
Released a few days ago on July 28th, the limited edition included the full version of the promotional video that’s been featured on their official site for some time now. It isn’t a bad one either, as it features some simple dance choreography and segments with a panorama camera where the girls take turns popping in front to sing their portions of the song. It’s a bit cool to watch since it’s timed to their singing, and if nothing else, gives the girls time to look cute and have some fun. Smiling big seems to be a prominent theme in this music video and the girls look like they’re trying too hard at times, but it does suit the bubbly catchy song itself. Of course, the other thought is that four and a half minutes of these girls looking pretty easily makes it a good PV. At least, that’s what me looping it for the past while seems to indicate.
Cuteness overload.
cute video…probably cuz i love the color yellow! love anime intro/outros with that sort of high energy “brite” jazz type swing, reminds me of the “Gunbuster 2” ED, and that always a win!………..god i miss gunbuster
A very happy and cheerful song we have here : ) Sounds very good after working a 9 hour shift today XD
Just to clarify, all four girls have main roles in the anime, I can think of three girls from the anime, who is the fourth? XD
If the answer is apparently obvious, I apologize before hand since I am very tired from working <3
Takagaki Ayahi is the narrator, so she doesn’t play an actual character.
Ahhh Thanks Divine =D
Very cute ~~~
Especially love the part where it pans across and you see Ayahi trying to reach something on the top shelf XD <3
I was waiting for this. After listening to the OP a couple times I really started to like it more and more. Now, with this and Kimi ga Iru Bashou, all I need is Nurarihyon’s and Shiki’s ED and I’ll have all my favorite singles from this season.
This song isn’t as great as the other ones, but its still good.
I’M SO LEARNING THE DANCE. LOL. Been looking forward to this for like 2 months already. Can’t wait to get my limited edition package 😀
New to buying CDs. Does the LE include the PV with it?
“…Released a few days ago on July 28th, the limited edition included the full version of the promotional video that’s been featured on their official site for some time now.”
Scratch that.. I suck at skimming…
Now no one can say Wolfgang Pauli didn’t help make a music video.
LOL This song is definitely catchy and fits the summer perfectly.
Sphere <3
And another CD to add to my collection =faceplant=
Who says moe is only for 2d… Suddenly… I’m liking Sphere much more. I love the part before the chorus!
Also thanks for reminding us of this song! I love this OP so much. Now to find for a high quality rip of the PV!
I find Toyosaki Aki cutest :3
Definitely have to agree
They’re all so adorable. I can’t decide which one I find cutest.
I’m loving this song even more now
Never going to watch the anime but… hm this song just might be a different story.
K-On! wouldn’t have NEAR the same amount of success if these four had not starred in it.
Mind you, only two of sphere’s members are from the K-ON cast. i.e. Toyosaki Aki and Kotobuki Minako.
Love for AkiToki and Minako! K-on! Cast is a total win in my book! Now, if they could bring in Tomatsu Haruka and Hanazawa Kana, it’d be fabulous!
meh. not interested in 3d
hoping to c more pv here at the site to change some interest once in awhile
no more “cute” words to say cus its filled of comments with it. i find it nice cus all of them sing in syncronize and making a great song in the process. btw would luv c more of this kind of group of singers making a song in harmony without making it feel weird when u listen or watch the videos of it.
I lol’d how this was so different from my write up.
I think my IQ dropped after watching this PV. Although that’s not all too uncommon a trait among a lot of these PV’s.
Honestly…. what kind of song name is “now loading… SKY!”?
No wait, did they even say that even once during the song??!
