5 days ago, the single 「Toki wo Kizamu Uta」 was released.
The single contains two songs, 「Toki wo Kizamu Uta」 and 「TORCH」. Both songs are sung by Lia, and they are the OP and ED (respectively) of CLANNAD ~After Story~.
The first song, 「Toki wo Kizamu Uta」, gives off a feel very similar to 「Megumeru ~cuckool mix 2007~」. The song has a nice melody, but I am, for some reason, finding it a little.. flat. While it is supposed to be a sad song, I personally do not feel that sad mood. IMO, this song doesn't deliver.
Either that, or there's something wrong with my ears. :\
Anyway, here's the CLANNAD ~AS~ opening:

The second song, 「TORCH」, on the other hand, is a win in my books. It's a happy, upbeat tune, and is pretty catchy.
While I do think it's great as a song in itself, I do have one problem with it, as a song in regards to CLANNAD ~AS~. One of the genres of the CLANNAD series is drama, and so once a sad episode ends, this happy song plays, and it kinda ruins the mood.
Regardless, here is the ending of CLANNAD ~After Story~
Lyrics to 「TORCH」 here.
