  Tracklist + Commentary

  1. Good-bye My Loneliness

  Lyrics by Izumi Sakai and composition by Tetsuro Oda. It's a pretty good debut song, and it definitely works well as an ending theme song. The bass is reminiscent of "Every Breath You Take" by Police. Some even say it sampled it. Now, I'll fact check on that later on OdaTetsu's YouTube channel because he has a video about it, and this video REFUSES to load up at school.

  2. Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de

  Lyrics by Izumi Sakai and Composition by Seiichiro Kuribayashi. It has a REALLY good rock feel. Personally, I think that's because it was originally by BLIZARD. Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de was originally EMPTY DAYS by BLIZARD. Izumi Sakai put her own twist on it by writing her own lyrics.

  3. Koionna no Yuu-utsu

  Lyrics and composition by Daria Kawashima.

  4. Oh! Sugar Baby

  Lyrics by Izumi Sakai and composition by Seiichiro Kuribayashi. I originally thought that Daria Kawashima wrote this song, since it seemed very Daria-esque to me, but really, Izumi did write the lyrics. It came as a surprise, personally.

  5. Onna de itai

  Lyrics and composition by Daria Kawashima.

  6. It's a boy

  Lyrics by Izumi Sakai and composition by Seiichiro Kuribayashi.
