Finally got round to listen to some of those extras on the Durarara!! DVDs, and now I can truly say I'm mostly glad I've been buying them. I keep trying and failing to get into the commentaries, which have been rather dull so far (save the 3rd one with the ワゴン組 - though admittedly I'm stuck on the 5th one at present), and frankly, the series doesn't have quite as much rewatch value as the other two I've gotten.

Then, I started wondering why Kida had come third on that ani-chara karaoke Joysound survey. So I dug the CD out and listened...

...and listened...

...and just haven't stopped since!

Fabulous CD extras are indeed fabulous!

All the more fabulous for those familiar with Japan's karaoke scene, as the extra CDs include a cover song collection sung by the cast! For the past week, I've been listening to three of them - and their originals - non-stop.

R I N D A  R I N D A !
R I N D A  R I N D A  R I N D A~A!

So, anyone up for karaoke? わくわく〜 o(^o^)o

Just way too much fun! Seriously, such a fantastic idea from those evil marketing demons!

p.s. Mikado's is, quite frankly, better buried somewhere under a rock. A pity, since Gakuen Tengoku is a fantastic karaoke piece. I haven't heard Anri's yet.
p.p.s. I'm planning to do a little more with this, but with no time at present, it's going to have to wait for a bit!
