As far as I'm concerned, Misato Aki is the savior of jpop music industry! "shoujo meiro de tsukamaete" is a prime example of a continuous beat music that would have been dynamic range compressed to hell if it were done by anyone else, but no. Misato-san, no, Misato-sama (and the CD staff) did a nice job mixing it, _properly_. Well, I did see a bit too much low-pass filter in action, but as I said before, that stuff doesn't actively annoy me.
I got hooked on the OP because they keep playing it in the Strawberry Panic internet radio (lantis-net.com). At first I didn't think it was my type of music, but it really grew on me. I'm not interested in the anime, though.
