Mouretsu Pirates Image Song Single - Black Holy
2/2 split. fairly normal.
Black Holy - if you called this song sailing i'd never know otherwise because it's the only engrish word in this. song? song's ok. 'bbout it. not bad. not that good. mostly there. 5.5/10
Toumei na Yozora ~Mabataku Hoshi no Tsutsumarete~ - long title is long. title has more words than numbers i'd rank this song because really, it's another "s'ok" track. 5.5/10 again. nothing really special but some slight enjoyment. so yeah.
Average: 5.5/10
not the pirates songs you want!
Zombie ED - Koi no Beginner nan desu (T_T)
3/3 split. ambitious one!
Koi no Beginner nan desu (T_T) - yes, the (T_T) is in the title. this is the ED and it's pretty damn good. nice and catchy, me like. it's just got enough pizazz to sound easy and fun start to finish without losing any quality along the way. good song. 7/10.
Zutto - song can be explained with a resounding "meh." 5/10.
Mata Ashita ne II - ...2? there's a 1? finding that too because i really, really dig this song. it's soft, sweet, and d'awww everywhere. it's also the insert song in Zombie too, the one used between GENERIC HUMAN GIRL and our favorite zombie (suck it Rea, you crazy woman). the song can basically be described as a lullaby and it'd be accurate. good song. will listen to regularly. the non-vocal version is also quite sweet. reminds me, there are no instrumentals here that are truly that, background singers are still in 'em. good for karaoke, but yeah, no pure bg music. not that i'm complainin'. 8/10.
Average: 7/10
Gundam Age OP 2 - sharp
odd split. 2 songs, a remix of the OP, TV size of OP, then instrumental of OP. second song literally thrown randomly in this thing to be forgotten forever.
sharp # - the # is for knees. the OP's not too shabby. i couldn't get too into it but i didn't ever dislike it either. no real complaints or compliments here. 6/10.
Charon - ....so the track to be forgotten forever is actually better. it's pretty damn catchy and notably more enjoyable to listen to and jam than sharp, so it's too bad the Pokemon title will have to lose out on the joint description in terms of longevity and knowledge. whoops. 7.5/10
sharp # -tofubeats REMIX - just ratin' because it's a remix. screw the tv version and instrumental there. remix here is uh... actually about as good as the original. maybe a bit better? ....yeah. listening to it enough makes it so and that basically confirms the problem with the singer - her voice is best when it's a song that's fun to hear. not looking for much emotional reaction beyond that strange "I really dig this song" as your head bops at work as you hope that nobody is looking (like it is with parrot-pokemon). i mean uh.... 6.5/10. right, that.
