This is the second opening theme song of Shiki entitled,「カレンデュラレクイエム」(Calendula Requiem) by kanon X kanon.

Download - Lyrics - Subs by Fubuki

Really a typical anime opening theme song, but despite that, it never bores me listening to this. It really has some pop in it and a lil' bit of drama. Nothing much really, but I like the previous opening theme song because it was a bit more mystery-inclined.

Hope you liked it.

Shiki (ED1) - "Walk no Yakusoku" by nangi

This is the first ending theme song of Shiki entitled,「walkの約束」 (Walk no Yakusoku; Promise of the Walk) sang by nangi.

Download - Lyrics - Subs by Taka

Really a sad song though I don't particularly like to listen songs like this since it makes me sleepy esp. since I watch this show at night, but still, it never regrets me. It has a fine tune, and sometimes, it keeps on ringing in my ears.

Shiki (OP1) - "Kuchizuke" by Buck-Tick

This is the first opening theme song of Shiki entitled, 「くちづけ」(Kuchizuke) sang by Buck-Tick.

Download - Lyrics - Subs by Taka

At first, I thought this really sucked, but as the show progressed more and better, the theme song has gotten better and better, and has become a fitting song for the series. The only thing I liked about it at first was the piano part at the end of the song.

Hope you liked it, too.
