[flv:http://divine.dreamhosters.com/media/fripSide_-_PV_-_LEVEL5_-judgelight-.mp4 550 310]  I haven't been posting about PVs as much as I would've liked recently, but here's the latest from fripSide. Unlike their PV for the first opening theme of Railgun, this one doesn't have much of anything in reference to the anime. As for the song itself, I admittedly fell five plus weeks behind on the series for obvious reasons, so I actually didn't hear it until late last week. Because of that, it's still somewhat new to me. For initial impressions, I'd say I like the sound of their new song, but took a much more immediate liking to "only my railgun". With fripSide's music though, I figure "LEVEL5 -judgelight-" will grow on me the more I listen to it, which is what happened with "late in autumn", the second track on the "only my railgun" single. Anyway, the more I hear it, the more Nanjou Yoshino's singing as the new vocalist of fripSide seems well-suited for their upbeat, fast-paced music. I still find this surprising because I can't really picture that voice behind Oosawa Maria in CANAAN nor Tsukishima Koko in Da Capo II, both of whom she voiced. For those wondering, the guy coming out of the bag in the PV is Japanese entertainer/comedian Esper Itou, who was also in the "only my railgun" PV. Why he's featured in their music videos I don't know, so maybe someone can fill me in on that.
