Gundam Wing Operation 2

Iam utterly in LOVE with Heero's Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa. *worship*worship*worship* He's a treat with his nasal-whine that can but Gundam's first original pilot Amuro Rei to the test. ^^;;

So what's all this about Backstreet Boys and Anime you ask? In Operation 2 you get your first peak at Character Songs. *joy* And Gundam Wing's voice actors have always been a gold mine. So can you image my utter delight to find out that they ALSO sing (or at least try to)

Heero's voice is something that I feel that if you have not experianced the full effect of the man that is Midorikawa than you may not apperaciate Heero's singing. To be blunt honest, the man can not for his LIFE sing. *nods* It's true. But it's Midorikawa and I ***adore*** this man so, Iam BIASE.

Duo's always been a fan-favorite. His good looks, The Braid and his fun personality are what make him a winner and make me dislike him very much so. I don't hate him but I don't like him. He's just *there* So maybe that's why I give him such a negative view and will write his singing as BAD. But with "kitto ok" he comes back strong. (Read GW CD #3)

Trowa. Aa. Poor sweet Trowa. You drive me mad yet I can't imagine the show without you. Like Midorikawa, Shigeru Nakahara was NOT ment to sing. He's off to a bad start in his first Character Song, it's painful to listen to yet oh-so-angsty that I adore this song. It's this long, flowing, ballad of angst and it fits him oh so well. I like this song, but a word of warning, it takes time and effort to get use to. ^^;;

*_* Ai Orikasa, famous for Tenchi Muyo's Ryoko. Can you imagine my shock that she played Quatre!? But it fits. It so fits. I could never in a billion years see Quatre with anyone else for his VA. "I'm your friend" is a silly-fun song with a picture of Quatre dressed in white with high boots, that will come into anyone's mind. This song is *fun*. It's a great way to get off that angst-ridden-ride that Trowa took you on and just get up and bounce around. Bounce people! Bounce!!

Would you believe me if I told you 3 years ago people didn't even like Wufei. Hell. I didn't even like Wufei. No one really talked about Wufei, he was thrown into this lump with all the other girls that are apart of Gundam Wing and so the song on this track was never given a chance. Wufei's very own Miko Tzigane (whom you should all worship and visit her website which is here) Turned the tables and proved (to me at least) that Wufei is kewl. Very, very, kewl and so the song on this disc was given a chance. Wufei, hands down is the BEST singer. Altho' Zechs' Koyatsu Takehito can give him a run for his money.

In this Cd you also get mini-verisons of "Just Love" and "Just Communincation" which is ugly-- meaning you get sound effects of the gundam's with the song which doesn't play friendly with my ears. *lol*

Don't worry! There's more BGM about 12 more tracks. And that's all Iam going to say about those.

The neat thing with the booklet of the cd, besides the fact that you do get lyrics but they are in Japanese, is that you get a choice of covers. Each G-boy has their spot, but it requires folding and ruining the packaging isn't always the best idea. I just keep it on Quatre since Duo is not my favorite.

Overall, BUY THIS CD. I can not push you enough.
