[Songs] 「Black ★ Rock Shooter」& Cendrillon【サンドリヨン】

They're two songs which I've already known for quite some time, but only recently I've begun to like them very much. I'm planning to try singing Black Rock Shooter. Besides I have a feeling that it might be a song which I can remember the lyrics to.

Black Rock Shooter has really cool lyrics which I like. It's quite poetic. I quite like the concept of the blue fire in Black Rock Shooter's eye, though at first I thought she was Miku cosplaying or something. Even though it's an original concept, but it looks quite unoriginal to me.

Although the OVA is quite illogical in the time frame and also quite illogical how the whole thing basically shows the high-school drama of Mato, Yomi and Yuu. It's called Black Rock Shooter for a reason, you know... They made it so that the alternate world thing seems very extra and just there to contain Black Rock Shooter.

I like Nayuta's cover of Black Rock Shooter even better than Hatsune Miku's version:

And now, Cendrillon. For some reason I always grouped Cendrillon and Cantarella in the same group and hence always thought Cantarella was a duet too.

The first time I heard it I cast it away easily, but about 2 years later (now) I decided to hear it since it was apparently very popular. It sounds a bit like Flandre Scarlet's theme, UN Owen was Her, to me at first. But after a while I thought it was a brilliantly romantic song. That's how I started crossing over Cendrillon with Singapore x England.

I like Tourai & Usa's version best, though I think Pokota & Hanatan rocks too. I preferred Tourai & Usa's because their voices aren't as mature as Pokota and Hanatan's, so it makes Cinderella and her prince seem more on the teenager side rather than as adults.

As per usual I prefer the covers to the Vocaloids. Here is the link to Pokota & Hanatan's:

(I was a bit surprised by how sweet Hanatan's voice sounded since she always seemed more on the mature voice side.)

And Tourai & Usa's:

(I like how their voices can be good even if they don't tremble their voices to make it sound mature.)

Sayon.
