The OP for To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, “Only My Railgun” by FripSide, has attracted no small note by managing to seize the number 3 slot in the charts…
Oricon’s daily singles charts now place the title at number 3, an impressive if inexplicable showing.
2D vs 3D:
The CD is available internationally now.
Of course there are those who say Oricon’s music charts are all but obsolete as they fail to include digital music sales, and the continued ability of niche anime titles like this to dominate them rather suggests the prestige of chart-topping is not what it once was…








I think I'm gonna want a nude filter of that image.
Imagination. Use it, don't ruin an another pic
SUGOI ! SUGOI ! SUGOI !
^ die
^ after you .
put in my favorite list :)
removed by utube asshole
I think Uiharu's already on her way working on Mikoto and Kuroko
I though it already has an nude filter...
that is Rule #35 taking into effect.
there both soo cute ^^
Don't see the prob, its alright
The lyrics are wut.
Also fripSide just doesn't feel right without nao. So unofficially fripSide is dead.
I thought the song was decent. I don't know who this Nao is so it doesn't matter much to me.
I like this song- it's catchy.
I think it'll be unfair to compare Yoshino and NAO. NAO has been with fripSide since the very beginning, while Yoshino has only but started her singing carreer. But I think she sings very well and suits fripSide style in the best way possible. She even sound a lot like NAO.
My friend said that Yoshino is cute-looking while NAO is gorgeous and mature-looking. Well, Yoshino is good-looking, I'll give you that.
Still, I think Yoshino lacks expressions in her singing. She's too passive.
Too bad that the rumoured possibility of eroge princess Rita joining fripSide didn't came true. But I'm pretty pleased with Yoshino, and expecting more fripSide goodness.
Go fripSide! You'll never walk alone!
i think its not bad.
BIRIBIRI FTW
There is no spoon.
That's like the first time I've watched a PV for an anime OP that has something to do with the show in question... although I'm ready to be corrected as I generally don't watch that many PV's, the last one I saw being Red Fraction.
To correct you, the OP theme for Zettai Karen Children also had a similar theme of incorporating costumes etc. into the PV. Hell, even the singers had a cameo in the show (but that's due to Synergy SP being jolly good fellows)
Somebody please tell me what "PV" stands for?
watch rosario + vampire capu 2 op, then watch the pv for discotheque. its quite interesting
I happily stand corrected, thanks for those titles, I shall have a gander at them right away.
Many thanks ^_^
Sparkling!
Only my RAILGUN can shoot it.
Hehehe, funny Engrish.
SPARKLING!!
The song is really good overall. But for me, I'd prefer it without the Engrish. It makes no sense and it sounds too strange. In general, I don't mind if there's English mixed in, but when it's mixed in and it sounds too weird... Well...
But Engrish is so COOL XD!!! I use it everyday and I feel like a badass!
I like the song, the chorus is pretty catchy :3
The song's fucking awesome. Gave me a classic feeling somehow.
It's a catchy song, and I also got the "classic" feeling out of it. =)
I love both of the songs in the single.
Late in autumn is somewhat sad...
lols but not bad at all xD been waiting for the cd release
lols XD
I laughed very much at latter of PV!
Anime albums get high up on the charts because the ratio of album sales to fans is much higher then any other normal music album, due to the fanatical buying habits of otaku.
Otaku are also more likely to find a digital download unacceptable compared to a physical release then a normal music fan.
Best Op for the season.
Not certain about that. Darker than Black Op is pretty awesome too.
Definitely best of the season. Both anime and OP song.
Eh, getting a Number 3 is good enough for me. Any song that is nice I'll just listen to it
ONEESAMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
the sound heard before beautiful yuri raep
haha that magician is awesome at the end of 3d video.
I like the song. Otaku sure are a major force in the music industry.
I like the ending a lot more
It's kinda interesting that "Sugoi" (Yoshino Nanjō) is the vocalist. After listening to her voice all the time last season I still didn't recognize it until I read it.
Yes, it's Maria Ozawa. No, I mean Maria Oosawa.
Lol. I like how in the 3-D music video she's just standin there singing it going like "meh, w/e"
SHOOP DA WOOP
BLARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMFG lol, 2:03
LOL'ed too! XD
That was awesome.
Love this song, favourite op of the season.
Will probably get negatives just for speaking my opinion, but I don't like the song so much. It's okay, but feels repetitive and messy. Maybe the full version is better, I've still got to check that one out.
I'm really liking the anime, though. It's hard to say why, at least specifically. But when I finish an episode I always feel like tearing my hair out when I think there's one more week until the next. It's probably the good mix of substance and meaningless fluff that makes the show so addictive.
It's like a mix of Touhou music and Initial D.
I love this song!
The 2D video is immeasurably superior.
The music video is confusing me.
where was the post for at least 3 of Axis Powers Hetalia's -Character singles- making it into the Oricon Daily Rankings, including the most recent one hitting Number 1?
Awww... I wanted the eggs to fall...
3D youtube has been deleted?
This anime is pointless and quite stupid, but it's so funny! After seeing the first episode, I had to see them all. Every time I remember the moment that strange girl starts beating her head on the table I lol so hard!
Youtube died.
The song isn't very good. The original anime had a better op.
I'm not surprised. It's an awesome song.
For the time being, replacement Youtube link for 3D:
