After listening to the B-side of the K-on! insert song album Fuwa Fuwa Time and loving it, I realised that that wasn’t the first time I had heard that tune. So after a bit of researching I found out that the original song is really an oldie, by 赤い鳥 in 1971. So I started clicking around youtube, listening to various covers of the song. Then I hit this.
Yeah it’s “Wings to Fly” by カノン, the same artiste I had recently added to my fanlist. I feel slow. But it truly is an awesome cover, and another display of the capability of カノン.
The ED for Guin Saga made me an instant die-hard fan of Kanon. Not the first time I’ve heard her, since I first heard her music in La Corda d’Oro ~Primo Passo~ in the form of Brand New Breeze, the OP. It wasn’t heart-thumpingly attractive, but it was still a pretty good song. Nothing compared to what she has done for the ED of Guin Saga though. Saga – This is My Road is simply awesome for me. I love the use of lyrics from the Mass for the intro; I love the organ; I love the piano; I love the supporting vocals; I love her voice in the song; I love how it reminds me of Enya’s style to some extent. Too bad I can’t find news of a single release, but I’m definitely going to be looking out for the song in the OST and in Kanon’s future albums. I’d be interested in the OST anyway because of Nobuo Uematsu but now this song will be the main attraction for me <3 In the meantime, I’m just going to loop and loop and loop my rip of it, until I can get a full version. Awesome.
