コネクト

     Last but not least, this one is the OP of Mahoushojo_Madoka_Magica.

     The singers are Claris who also sing the OP of 俺の妹こんな可愛いわけがない . In fact, コネクト is their second album and they are just junior high school students! I was very surprised when I fisrt heard of this informaiton, beacuse their voices sound mature. If you were just hearing the song without knowing about them, you would not think of that they are so young.

      But what I would talk about is the lyrics of the song, it conveys Madoka's feeling  to Homura. You would not be aware of it at the fisrt place. To tell you the truth, I realized the true meaning of the lyrics after watching the final eposide.  At the end of the eposide, it was playing this song. At that time I was moved by the song; also at that time I started thinking this animation is the best one as well I have ever watched. I will not regret that I stayed up for watching  the work and that browsed thorugh people's comments and view points about it on the Internet every week.

    Thourgh the song, I witnessed the start and the end of the story. That's why I shared the song after ED and BGM.

Magia

     Like I said before, because of the animation I knew the composer, 梶浦由記, but she was not the only one I knew about through Madoka. Now please click on the play button below and keep on reading my post while you're listening to the song.

This song was also written by梶浦由記. But I the persons who I want to talk about are the singers. They are Kalafiana. You could find that this song sounds mature and consists of different registers. Like in this film, Hikaru was singing the main part, Keiko was taking charge of the lower register, and Wakana was responsible for the higher register.

Not all their songs sound gloomy and dark like this one, but this one somehow appears to people. Maybe like its name; there is some magic power in the song which can attract everyone’s attentions, so … leave off, I forgot to say, this song is the ED of Madoka. When I first heard of the song, it made a drastic impression on me. I don’t know if that’s because I was influenced by the plot of Madoka at that point. Perhaps.

Anyway, I think this song suit to the animation in all respects. And if you please, you can try Kalafina's other songs on Youtube.
