The first of several versions of the opening theme sung by the first 6 students according to the class roll. The CD only comes with 1 song, the karaoke track, and a talk, and is priced accordingly. In comparison with the later versions (I'm cheating on this review, I know), this first version is catchy but plain. I would say that this is my second favorite version of the ones I have so far.

The third track has the seiyuu commenting on their happiest item. Yuri had a Chihuahua. Madoka loves taking baths. Ayana also has a dog and enjoys the sunset. Natsuko likes money. Kotomi love eating and performing in front of fans. Finally, Azumi likes the clearing after the rain, chocolate, spicy stuff, and being able to do her dream job.

Out of the 6 voice actresses, my favorite voice has to be Kazumi's (Ayana). Her voice has a particular pitch to it that stands out. Very much like Kanako's from Love Hina, which coincidentally, is done by Natsuko who does Yue. And for some more trivia, Yuri plays Mei Narusegawa.

First pressing comes with Yue card.
