And, like "Maji LOVE Revolutions" gave a shout-out to it's predecessors, "THANK YOU" also has a line mentioning "mirai no chizu" (as in "Mirai Chizu"/"Map of the Future" the season 1 insert song) and "yume o ou SYMPHONY" (as in "Yumeoibito e no Symphony"/"Symphony for Dream Chasers" season 2 insert song)~ As per usual, the second song released with the ED theme is slower-paced and more lyrical (and will probably be inserted into one of the later episodes).
As you may have noticed if you've heard the full version of the song already, in the instrumental break before the final refrain, you can hear the melodies from "Maji LOVE 1000%" and "Maji LOVE 2000%"~ XD But again, these are just guesses and could be completely wrong, so don't quote me on that!! The only ones I have any semi-firm suspicions about are 「NEVER.」 = Tokiya (since he usually saved for last), 「Saintly Territory」 = Masato (he usually has themes like that, right?), and 「Code:T.V.U」 = Ren (for reasons I can't explain other than it feels right).
~ BR/DVD Vol.1 : 「GOLDEN☆STAR」 (sung by the Shining Stars, i.e. ~ QUARTET NIGHT single (2 tracks) : 「The dice are cast」 ~ Vol.6 (3 tracks) : 「ORIGINAL RESONANCE」 Regardless, you're welcome to place your bets over which one belongs to which character! I'll even provide the known track titles for ya: There will also be other songs released with the Blu-ray/DVDs. At first, I thought some of the extra tracks might be for QUARTET NIGHT characters, but then they're getting their own album with "The dice are cast," so I guess that might not be plausible anymore. And to make matters even more confusing, the number to character songs per album varies, so about half of the albums only have the standard 2 tracks, and the rest have 3-4. There's no album art up yet either, and all of this makes me think this is a ploy to avoid revealing spoilers/episode or plot order.
So far, the official site has only listed the first track title for each of the 7 character albums and absolutely NO information about who's singing which. Now I know there are a few of you out there who, like me, enjoy playing the "FIND THE UTAPRI CHARACTER SONG REFERENCES IN THE THEME SONGS!" game, but you, like me, will probably have trouble doing so at this time. And I have to say, as awesome as the animated choreography is for these ED themes, this time it kinda freaked me out! I was not expecting MMD-ish 3D computer models! >< Like it's predecessors, Season 3's ED theme also shares the title and features STARISH. That said, I have seen the first episode of UtaPri Season 3 : "Maji LOVE Revolutions" (and I don't think I'm spoiling anything by stating that the episode consisted of character re-introductions and then a tiny bit of context and plot us everyone feeling the need to say "REVOLUTION" repeatedly *yay uber-title dropping*) and even managed to get the first two song releases translated! So let's do this thing! So that's why I haven't responded to any messages that've been sent to me yet, because I'm still en route to home and am waiting to get there to give them the time their responses deserve, but again, I'm busy as heck so it may be a while longer. And I just spent my spring break sightseeing in London, so I wasn't on my computer much at all for the last week. Silvermoon249Hisashiburi da yo ne~ I apologize for my prolonged absence since I haven't posted in over a month now, but between mounds of home/classwork and finals coming up in about 4 weeks, I haven't been able to do much else.
