Having not seen the Itazura na Kiss anime, I never got a chance to sample Motohiro Hata’s “Kimi, Meguru, Boku,” and so, lack any level of familiarity with his works. But as I listened to the OP theme, his voice reminded me of another anime series that is very near and dear to my heart: Honey and Clover. In short, Hata’s voice in “Kimi, Meguru, Boku” is very much reminiscent of Spitz’s insert songs in Honey and Clover. If that’s the kind of sound that you enjoy, ItaKiss’s OP theme will be right up your alley.
For that matter, so will Halation. He might not deviate much from the established style that he has set in “Kimi, Meguru, Boku,” but I do think that checking out this work is worthwhile. Find out why after the jump! (more…)
