New opening and new ending!

[Hydross]

I found this on PokeAni.

These new songs will premiere on Octobor 2, along with the

Spoiler:

Team Galactic episodes

Opening:
For the first time in history, the opening is a duet! The name of it is "High Touch".
Sung by Satoshi's VA: Rica Matsumoto and by Hikari's VA: Megumi Toyoguti.

Ending:
Called "I'm Sure Tomorrow". Sung by some random person. (google can't translate the person's name.)

Soooo.. what do ya people think about this? :)

Heck it's about time.
Heck it's about time.


I wrote it twice as emphasis.

How about simply this: it's about damned time. Together, let alone Together2007, was severely overused - we've put up with it for more than a year and a half! And Kaze no Message is... alright, but change is good.

Besides, Rika's back! A duet sounds interesting, too, given that I'm starting to get sick on the Hikari focus in the intros and endings. Now all it needs to be perfect is to be accompanied with awesome animation. (Jorah and Charaxes can guess what I mean by that. :x)

Finally, something new to look at. I love Together, but come on. The same theme is why I hate Western shows. Heh.

Yes, honey, we all know about your animation woes. Patpat. At least, the OPs and endings are well animated, for the most part.

 

[Jorah]

HOORAY! I've recently started to love Kaze no Message (not Pokapoka, I hate that) but hooray, anyway! Although, I wanted Rica Matsumoto to sing by herself...a duet opening should be interesting!!

Kanako is the person who sings the ending.

What I've been wondering is why Megumi Toyoguti did not sing Kimi no Soba de. But then I watched some of her sogs on YouTube and Kimi no Soba de doesn't seem her style...

Now all it needs to be perfect is to be accompanied with awesome animation. (Jorah and Charaxes can guess what I mean by that. :x)

It's the grass, right?

XD

 

[speedinglight]

in about forever we have a new opening besides another version of together

heh awesome

 

[Katsu Koneko]

My response, copied and pasted from the Bulbagarden thread. xD

OMG. OMG. OMG!

KYAHHHH NEW RICA MATSUMOTO SONG! *w* ::runs around::

Even though it's a duet, I don't mind! I'm just happy we get to hear Rica's voice in a song again! X3

I think Hikari's VA is a good singer, but I've only heard her character songs from FMA. Yeah I wonder why they didn't have Hikari's VA sing "By Your Side"...they should have a Hikari VA version.

Plus Rica's working on another duet, but not for Pokemon. :D

 

[Charaxes]

Why, you… XD

Well personally, I think Together is the only intro that's actually stuck with poor animation. (The cloudsm and the radioactive grass and trees.)

I'd say Pokémon Symphonic Medley had the best animation, and Spurt! was alright even with the clouds (because they weren't shaded so horribly).

SO THIS INTRO BETTER STEP UP.

I thought you hated the clouds. Now, you hate the grass, too? Oh, I'm so disillusioned! Major EMO! mode! Oh, woe is me. Oh....

Alright, enough of that. Together had good visuals, but everyone was so... static -- no one hardly moved. Symphonic was the best animation of the AG ones, yes, until you listen to that cacophony of a song. Bah. I actually liked the BF one, as that was high-charged, both in song and animation.

Of the old ones, Master 2001 had the best animation for me, with Rivals as tie.

 

[Vernikova]

What is this I read? A new song for DP? That's not Together by Akiyoshi Fumie!? I can't wait! Plus, it's Rica singing again, with another voice actor. Like "Farenheit 451" would say, double plus good. *shot for earlier rhyme**

Fumie was good but so is change... sometimes.

All finally, a brand new opening and ending, no more Together or Kaze no Message OR their stupid remixes.:pirate:

It's about time, they gotta include Giratina plus Team Galactic.:sleeping:

I CAN'T WAIT!!!:shocked:

 

[Dr. Ookido]

No full version of Together2008, no release AT ALL of Kimi no Soba de (Winter version) and no BGM :( Although, Ash and Dawn versions of the song will be cool

Well Kimi no Soba de, even the winter version was a long time ago...

Yeah, I suppose Ash and Dawn versions will be kinda cool, but then again, that does mean four tracks of the same song, and that could go either way [could be good or bad]...

Well, the main thing is whether the opening and ending songs are good in the first place... they better not blow.

 

[STEELIXMANIAC]

Together's a pretty decent song, but it's been around waaaay too long. I look forward to next week to see the new opening and ending, but I wouldn't have minded Kaze no Message staying around for another 10 episodes or so. Anyway, hope they're good.

 

[Jorah]

I actually really don't like the combo of Together and Kaze no Message. They're both really happy. I mean, I like them (especially Kaze no Message) and it's not like the other openings are emoish or anything...but if you compare them to Spurt and Battle Frontier, they too "hooray" kind of thing. I'm hoping High Five won't be as happy jumpy as Together, but the name kinda says it will be.

 

[Trap-Eds]

Wow, I'm sitting here listening to the Japanese Pokemon openinings and endings, then find out there's gonna be two more. SWEET!! :D

 

[Daisuke33]

I just got finished listening to it, and its fantastic! I mean, I was like: ZOMG! May AND Max PLUS Misty AND Gary are in the opening! That opening made the opening for me. It's not bad at all.

 

[Azumi]

Did you actually see Shinji-kun smiling? Erk, that gave me so much goosebumps. (Whenever I wanted to see this, I had to look away when that part came...) HE WAS SO SCARY!!!! I want Together back!

Why can't Sato-kun sing in the anime? It would sound so good... But then, I don't think he'll sing good...

 

[Argent Crusader]

I REALLY HATED IT!
I mean, what's the point of having that epic Regigigas Vs. Darkrai scene if you gonna ruin it with girly music.
Seriously, the series are becoming TOO GIRLY for me...

 

[Dr. Ookido]

The opening was alright/so-so, not that great the first time I heard it.

Eh? Really? In my opinion, Megumi Toyoguchi can't sing for peanuts. Her effort to sing was rather poor. At least when she's trying to sing with a Hikari voice.

QFT, particularly at the end of her first part, when she sings "arigato." Well, it doesn't really sound like Hikari, it's a bit too...dunno how to describe it.

Satoshi's voice is still lovely to hear though - Rika isn't bad at singing at all.

I can't say I enjoyed Satoshi singing very much, especially when I heard the opening the first time. I like when Rica sings in her Rica voice, but singing as Satoshi just kinda sounds awkward.

The worst part was the "go go go!" at the ending.

Thanks for the sexist comments and calling it "gay" in the other thread. Seriously. Up your describing skills.

1. This opening is not "girly" (why do you think so!?)
2. Things aimed at girls aren't bad (which Pokemon isn't, anyway)

It isn't bad because it's "girly", it's bad because Hikari's singing wasn't good

 

[Bly DX]

Wow........ok, I've just seen the opening on youtube and the song is worser than the others except for 'Together', which sucked really!
:disappoin

The Animation sucked along with everything else, but the Team Galactic bit was intresting and the Regigigas vs Darkrai, which should have have been atleast Darkrai vs Crussailla.:(

And don't even get me started with Hunter J, ahhh, she's just like the interfearing Jessie, James, Meouth. (100% Fuller Characters=100% Fuller Rubbish):pirate:
