Top Opening Songs of Spring Season 2012

Published on April 16, 2012

Alright, so this is basically a list of what I feel are the top 5 songs from this season's lineup. Purely my opinion...you don't have to agree, just throwing it out there. Musical taste is a tricky thing. I've done the best I can to explain why I like the songs, but sometimes it's just not that easy. Not sure how long these links will last...sure they'll all eventually be taken down. I'm looking at these songs purely for music...there's no influence from the actual video of the opening. Let me know if you want me to try more posts like this.

5. "dots and lines" by You Hitoto feat. Mummy-D from Zetman

First off, we have the Zetman opening. If you look at it, the song seems very off for the type of show Zetman is. You'd expect something more heavy. But as for the song itself, I liked it a lot. The tune is very catchy and none of the voices sound bad. It's very consistent and it does a good job of moving itself forward.

4. "Feel So Moon" by Unicorn from Uchuu Kyoudai/Space Brothers

Another song where I kinda have to ignore what's going on in the animation...random rainbows are random. But the song itself sounds really cool. It has a really good rhythm despite how light it is. If I had to point out a problem, though, I'd have to say that the ending sounded a bit weird to me. It sounds like the song is ascending towards some sort of big finish, but it doesn't really go anywhere. But the intro to the song is amazing...

3. "Tsurezure Monochrome" by Fujifabric from Tsuritama

I don't know what instrument is playing that tune in the background, but I love it. The guitar and the drums add to it very nicely too. The singer also doesn't try to push himself too far, even though the song sounds like there are parts where he could. I'm not completely sure if this is the official opening theme for the show because they showed scenes from the episode in the background, but I'd be happy if it was.

2. "Chase the world" by May'n from Accel World

Probably one of the closest songs you'll get to Jrock in this season. No matter what I think of the show, this song still sounds great (wait...I feel like I've said this before with a Sunrise show). It's very fast-paced, and May'n does the vocals well. The song brings the music strong from the very beginning and keeps it up. The whole song feels like it blazes by in an instant, but it's a normal-length song.

1. "To the Beginning" by Kalafina from Fate/Zero

Was it ever even a question? Kalafina, drawing the talents of the wonderful composer Yuki Kajiura, never fails to impress me. The whole song seems to...flow. Not sure how to put it. The intro sounds great and the song builds up so nicely. The violin is definitely a nice touch too. I dunno why people think that oath sign was so much better...I'd have a hard time choosing.

Honorable Mention:

"Borderland" by Mami Kawada from Jormungand

"CHOIR JAIL" by Konomi Suzuki from Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

"Now or Never" by Nano from Phi Brain Season 2

Next up, we have some openings that didn't quite make it on the list, but were pretty close. They deserve to be singled out from the ones I didn't like:

Sakamichi no Apollon

Sankarea

Finally, we have the songs that just didn't make the list. These are here for the simple reason that I want you to know which songs I was listening to when I made these decisions (no particular order):

Natsuiro Kiseki

Acchi Kocchi

Shining Hearts

Upotte

Hiiro no Kakera

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san

Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka of the Dead

Saki Achiga-Hen

Medaka Box
