Tuxedo Mirage - Ganymede's Blatherings:

This song is the ending theme for all episodes of Sailormoon Super, and it is also Mamoru's Sailormoon S image song. Only thing is, it's sung by the Inner Senshi's seiyuu and not by Furuya Tohru. It's too bad, but still, it's appropriate since the song is NOT meant to be sung from Tuxedo Kamen's point of view even if it is about CapeBoy. ^_^;;; The song is damn good too, so I don't care if it isn't sung by Furuya-san; besides, it's Mamoru's image song anyway, so I'm gonna put it here whether you like it or not! :P *heehee*

When I first heard this song, I hated the first two verses cause Usagi's seiyuu sang it and she sounded WAY too childish, but when the other Inner Senshi joined in for the bridge I warmed up to the song, and finally, when the five seiyuu went all out for the chorus, I fell in love with the song. It's a rarity in that it's a ballad that doesn't drag or feel slow, and the music and lyrics are beautiful. The only pet peeve is that I still think Usagi sounds too babyish at first, but other than that the song is amazing.

Note: The "Nostalgic and Romantic" version is just "Tuxedo Mirage" played on a piano (that's the nostalgic part) and then on a saxophone (which is the "romantic" part). I thoroughly detest the saxophone part, but the piano part is so beautiful that it's worth the download just for that. *g*

As an aside, the lyrics to this song are written by Takeuchi Naoko herself, and the music and arrangement were done by the same people who brought you "Moon Revenge." :P Do download this song, as I think you'd enjoy it. ^_^
