As many of you who read this Blog (all 3 of you lol) may know, I'm a huge fan of the anime/manga series DeathNote. As with most anime series, when it went into its second season they changed the intro and ending sequences, and put in new music. I really enjoy the music that Nightmare did for the first season (I even featured their intro song "The World" in one of my previous Song of the Week posts); and was somewhat unsure of how well the new music would turn out since they are being done by a different band.
Well, to be quite honest, I hate the new intro song, "What's Up People?!". It fits well with the imagery of the new intro, and the frantic pace of the story arcs that this season will cover, but the song itself doesn't hold a candle to "The World".
HOWEVER...
The new ending song, "Zetsubou Billy" is incredibly good. The one minute of it that you hear in the ending sequence isn't enough to get the full effect of the song; the full thing is amazing though. And the drummer Nao sings the second verse! <3 also="" amusing="" and="" as="" br="" crow="" daisuke="" dressed="" it="" lead="" paul="" pretty="" s="" seeing="" singer="" the="" up="" wall.="">
