「行き止りの町」 (Ikidomari no Machi)
“Dead-End Town”
Things spurred on with a new character’s personal aspirations to go to Yuusari, but the fight over Lag’s crossing permit was enough to warrant a multi-episode continuation. Better yet, Niche was cute as hell this week. Cue Ryuuguu Rena‘s “Hau! Omochikaerii~!“
While the release of Letter Bee’s opening theme single is still several weeks away (09-11-25), the PV for it has already been aired. Unlike the anime version, the full song features a rap portion by Mummy-D, the MC/producer of a fairly old hip hop group called RHYMESTER. I haven’t really listened to Suga Shikao‘s music outside of one or two songs he wrote/performed for Honey and Clover, but I took an instant liking to “Hajimari no Hi” (Day of Beginnings) because of its catchy beat. Nowadays, anime songs tend to be no different than the music normal people would listen to, but I find they still tend to fall into pop and rock genres. I’m not sure what to classify Shikao’s music as, but it’s a refreshing change in the anime scene.
Surprisingly, the arrangement of the full version sounds a bit different from the TV short one. You’ll probably notice this immediately with the way it opens and of course, with the inclusion of Mummy-D’s rap later on. This is actually kind of cool, since it’s a whole different dimension to the song I wasn’t anticipating. Normally you’d just expect the TV short version plus a second verse at the end, but they mixed things up here.
As usual, I like to include the actual TV anime sequence for comparison purposes, so see below if you need a “Tegami Bachi” spin on the song.

「ラグの相棒（ディンゴ）」 (Lagu no Aibou (Dingo))
“Lag’s Dingo”
How dare those bastards strip the adorable Niche and put her in a cage. If she didn’t bust their asses, I might’ve had to myself.

「泣き虫少年，テガミ少女」 (Nakimushi Shounen, Tegami Shoujo)
“Crybaby Boy, Letter Girl”
Is it just me or is the no underwear (nopan) theme contagious this season? Letter Bee is the last show I would’ve expected to see it in.

「ぼくの友達」 (Boku no Tomodachi)
“My Friend”
I usually don’t find it very funny when kids bug you about groping a girl’s breasts, but Lag is sooo adorable when he teases Gauche about it. I <3 Sawashiro Miyuki.
