[First Impressions (Songs)] - Tasogare Otome X Amnesia




 Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

Konomi Suzuki - Choir Jail [Lyrics: Hata Aki]

Song starts with a very hyped up pace that almost makes my soul fly as it feels very contageous it has a bit of a melancholic theme but thats simply due to the nature of the show.
The animation itself is also very pleasant! Yuuko is beautifully portrayed in her old-school black 'seerafuku'.
Some lipsynching is used in this opening with pieces of the animation also being 'synched' to the song, which gives a nice feeling when it is being watched.

Song 9.5/10
Animation 8.5/10
Lyrics:
[Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - Choir Jail]
Watashi yo moete
moete dakishimete miru no wa tsumi janai deshou
Hi de yami wo harae CHOIR JAIL
 
Nageitemo yume wa utawanai
koko de sakenda yo
kotae wa dare ga motteru no
 
Utsumuita mama ja kizukanai
kimi no hitomi no naka mirai wo sagasu
 
Moshimo kiseki ga ima mo sasu nara
nijimu namida nugutte mae wo muite arukou
 
Watashi wo akete
konna kurushisa de nanimo mienai
 
Watashi yo moete
moete kanata he
jounetsu wa tsumi janai deshou
 
Hi de yami wo harae CHOIR JAIL!
