Itou Yuna – trust you PV (Gundam 00 Second Season ED2)
The current ED to Gundam 00 is a song that’s grown on me quite a bit since it started airing. My original reaction back when I first heard it in episode 15 was that I liked Prototype more, but after having listened to this quite a bit in the past several weeks, I think I now prefer trust you. I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for ballads, but Itou Yuna has a very powerful voice, and this song also reverberates some of the themes and relationships in Gundam 00 quite well (particularly Saji and Louise). That’s why I was quite excited to finally see the PV for it. The video has Itou Yuna looking very beautiful and singing the song in front of various backdrops, including a space one, and while it’s probably nothing that you’d watch more than a few times unless you really love Itou Yuna, it’s great to finally hear the full song. The single will be released in two weeks on March 4th, 2009.

Stereopony – Namida no Mukou PV (Gundam 00 S2 OP2)
Admittedly, I’ve always preferred female vocals over male ones, but it’s even better when it comes from an all-female rock band. Unconsciously, I tend to associate the ability to play an instrument with musical talent. Anyway, all-female rock bands aren’t something I recall seeing a lot of, with ZONE being one of the more popular ones off the top of my head. I don’t tend to follow “mainstream” Japanese music much nowadays with the constant influx of music from anime OP/ED singles though (some of which may be mainstream), so I’m far from being the most knowledgeable person in this area.
In any case, I’m really starting to like Stereopony‘s music, which has already been featured in Bleach as the 17th ending theme prior to Gundam 00. For those following Bleach, “Hitohira no Hanabira” 「ヒトヒラのハナビラ」 was their first single and did fairly well on the Oricon Weekly Charts, peaking at 25th.
