ExtraCareful's Soundtrack Pick of the Week

Iiiiit's Tuesday, and here it is:

Aoi Shiori (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai OP)

Galileo Galilei

Found one with nicely timed romanized subs for those interested I guess...

Very nicely and calmly done, and by a male too. I mean, yes, there is a duet with a girl starting at 1:46, but it's still mainly sung by the guy. The point is, it doesn't sound like Swedish death metal and it's not obnoxious. Well done bucking the trend. Quite honestly, I like the second build-up (3:13~3:32) since it waits a bit to plow into the main phrase, setting a very nice tension there. Nice use of the acoustic guitar and synth. Have fun listening!

EDIT 9/6/11: New vid inserted. No subs.
