The new song is called “Gorgeous 4U” and it’s preformed by Jun Fukuyama, Tsubasa Yonaga, Hiro Shimono and Kazuma Horie… the voice actors for Kei, Jun, Tadashi and Ryuu respectively. The fact that this one doesn’t make my ears bleed already makes it infinitely better than the first one.

Flavor: Mild

Whoa, well, this was the last episode… but it’s like it feels the show ended with no closure whatsoever because of the random story they decided to choose as the final story of the series. I kinda expected them to create an original ending for the anime like they usually do, but then I thought about how making up a finale for a series like this in a single episode could only result in disaster, so I guess I’m sorta glad they didn’t go for that direction.

Thanks to one of my friends, I was able to try out this game called Nanatsuiro * Drops: Touch de Hajimaru Hatsukoi Monogatari for the Nintendo DS. First, let me start by saying that yes, this is a visual novel, and no, it’s not really a port of the PC game.

Flavor: Sour

Yeah, it was a happy ending… a really really horrible one at that. Here’s a short summary:

So, it looks like some time has passed since the events of last week’s episode. None of Yoshiyuki’s friends seem to have forgotten entirely about him yet… but the only ones who are still able to fully remember about him are the Asakura sisters. Proof of this is that Otome has been repeteadly writing his name a bunch of times on her notebook, while Yume is seen visiting the places that she went together with him on their date.

So, yeah, Itou Kanako’s Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna OP theme Tsuisou no Despair single has been out for a while now, which is great considering I really like this song. Probably my favorite Higurashi opening theme so far. The other song included on this one, called Toppuu, is also pretty good, I guess.

The official site has also been updated with two new CM videos and a CM generator where you can create your own Higurashi commercial using some random character and background animations and short clips from the movie. Nothing too special, but I actually did one… which you can see below (think you need to use Internet Explorer in order to able to watch it, not sure).

Flavor: Sweet

If more Special A episodes were as funny and entertaining as this one and the one from last week, I think I’d be blogging about this show more frequently ( …or maybe much less since I actually have more to say when I really hate a series). So, Kei gets sick and Hikari decides to take care of him… I guess the most important thing out of all of this is that we finally got a real kiss:
