Well, I'm halfway through watching "Tomo-chan wa Onna no Ko!"（トモちゃんは女の子!...Tomo-chan is a Girl!）and it's been very enjoyable. I figure that since I've gotten a couple of other articles up associated with the show regarding the opening theme and some hilarious karaoke involving the lead character, I may as well give the show its own Label. There is at least one more song that I can include in addition to the one that I have here.
In comparison with the rock n' roll of Maharajan's（マハラージャン）opener "Kurae! Telepathy"（くらえ！テレパシー）, the ending "yurukuru*love" is a cute pop number at an even-steven tempo performed by three of the main characters: Rie Takahashi（高橋李依）as the tomboy Tomo, Rina Hidaka（日高里菜）as the stoic and scheming Misuzu, and Sally Amaki（天城サリー）as the ditzy-and-clever Carol. Masaru Yokoyama（横山克）composed the song with Natsumi Tadano（只野菜摘）providing the lyrics which basically summarizes the premise of the show. I have to say that Tomo's vocals sure have improved since her time at the karaoke box.
For some reason, I couldn't find any full version of "yurukuru*love" online whether it be due to copyright oversight or perhaps the song is only meant to be a minute or so long. But I did find a techno remix by 174UDSI.
I have yet to watch a full episode of Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! but I think I would like to. I have read bits and pieces about here on this fine blog.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why I haven't realized it before but Hulu.jp has "Tomo-chan wa Onna no Ko!" I just watched the first episode and tried to pay attention to the opening and ending themes you mentioned before.
ReplyDeleteThe anime has been a pleasant watch since I'm basically fine with slice-of-life comedies but I don't think that it's anything groundbreaking. However, I think that this could be the breakthrough show for bilingual Sally.
