Well, as I had indicated when I wrote up about the bass-crazy ending theme for Season 1 of the anime "Machikado Mazoku"（まちカドまぞく...The Demon Girl Next Door）, I was able to get Season 2 which had been broadcast more than a year ago in 2022. I began watching "Machikado Mazoku 2-Chome"（まちカドまぞく 2丁目）last week which continues the humourous trials and tribulations of demon girl Yuko "Shamiko" Yoshida（吉田優子）.
Of course, I was paying attention to the opening credits and the opening theme for Season 2 and it's not half-bad either. "Tokimeki Rendezvous" (Joyful Rendezvous) was created and arranged by Miho Tsujibayashi（辻林美穂）, the same songwriter and musician behind the opener for Season 1, "Machikado Tangent"（町かどタンジェント）. As with that one, "Tokimeki Rendezvous" possesses that feeling of a breezy 1960s pop tune but instead of the Bacharach vibe, it has more of a finger-snapping jazzy bent. And once again, it's the shami momo pairing of main seiyuu Konomi Kohara（小原好美）as Shamiko and Akari Kitō（鬼頭明里）as Momo in the recording booth. The full version has got a nice piano solo.
Will be looking forward to watching Episode 2 tonight. Yup, I'm going at this week-by-week instead of doing the binge watching.
