Song of the Day (24)

Song: Crescendo

Artist: Stella Quintet

Genre: J-pop

Year: 2008

                Crescendo is a single by the band Stella Quintet. It's used as the ending song for the anime La corda d'oro: primo passo. The ending song is very one of the few things I liked in the anime. It thought it was catchy. It's a romantic song, with fine lyrics that perfectly suit the anime. The music is very nice and the singing goes well with it. The combination makes it something enjoyable to listen to.

                Something I found interesting about the song is the performing band: Stella Quintet. Apparently, the band is formed from the 5 main guys in the anime La Corda d'oro: Tsukimuri, Tsuchiura, Hihara, Shimizu and Yunoki … in other words, their voice actors, and the players of the musical instruments that each character specializes in. There are many things within this discovery that caused my utter astonishment

First, that 5 people who never sang together before this could produce something so good.

Second, the fact that the five of them with exception of one, are only voice actors, they don't sing.

Third, that among the sing voices are those of Bleach's Kurosaki Ichigo ana Abarai Renji! Ichigo's voice might work but Renji's?!

Well, it's a nice song and that's all that matters
