Been going through my back catalogue of YouTube likes lately. Ended up hyperfixing on this particular song (and this particular version of it, to boot). The vocal harmonies are fucking IMPECCABLE (especially when they break off into the countermelody section in the second half of the chorus), and the instrumental solos interspersed throughout do a great job of breaking up the piece and giving their respective musicians a chance to shine. Bonus points for the interpolation of "Ensei" in the middle (which I know is originally from Mai-HiME, as is the main song itself, but I can't help but thinking back to Mario: The Music Box whenever I hear it).
God, I need to watch Mai-HiME. It's been on my watchlist for a hot minute, but I am fucking allergic to getting into new media that isn't hyperfix/special interest related.
