Compared to her previous single earlier this year, "Wonder Wind" (Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season OP1), "Dear My Friend -Towards an Unseen Future-" didn't take nearly as long to grow on me. Here, her voice sounds slightly lower during the verses, which I find is better in a way. While I've liked ELISA's angelic-like voice since I first heard it in the ef series, it was never a really powerful sounding voice to me. It just never had the "fullness" of say, Mizuki Nana's voice. Given ELISA's softer voice, that may simply not be her style, but her singing during the verses (0:16-0:52, 1:36-2:13) already gave me the impression of a more powerful voice. I find it's a lot less transparent and unassuming then, so I'd personally like to hear more songs like this one. It's minor, but I somehow picked up on that during my endless repeats of this song. It could just be me though and the fact that I prefer the sound of the somewhat slower verses. (I'm no musician so yeah... -_-;) As for the PV itself, we have ELISA cycling by the beach in a summer dress. Not like we need anything more than that, but the bright sunny setting also suits the upbeat lyrics. <spoiler 'show="" to="" aru="" kagaku="" no="" railgun="" ed1="" 「dear="" my="" friend="" -まだ見ぬ未来へ-」="" by="" elisa'="" 'hide="" to="" aru="" kagaku="" no="" railgun="" ed1="" 「dear="" my="" friend="" -まだ見ぬ未来へ-」="" by="" elisa'=""><object width="512" height="322"><param name="movie" value="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashVars" value="id=16004496&amp;vid=6162749&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/11749/94756690.jpeg&amp;embed=1"/><embed src="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="322" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="id=16004496&amp;vid=6162749&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/11749/94756690.jpeg&amp;embed=1"></embed></object> </spoiler>
