Do fans of bishojo games really care about the guy? It really struck me as odd that they would release a song sung by Takayuki, who never had a voice until the anime. The unique thing about this CD is that Kisho wrote the lyrics to the songs himself. The other 4 were written by Minami.

The first song included sounds like a typical rock song. He sounds like he's really stretching his voice to hit the notes (and probably has some help with post-production). The lyrics don't have much to do with the show and just describes a bit about his character. The second song is slower, but still features an electrical guitar and rock style rhythm. It seems like it's more in his range, but still isn't very spectacular.

I like his impromptu song, the "Stupendous Cat Samurai," he did on the radio CD a little better than these two. They should have included an extended version of that, even if it's an inside joke.
