Open Your mind

It's an OP from Ah! My Goddess! (aka. Ah! Megami-sama!). It's perform by Ishida Youko, the same singer who perform Shiawase no iro (I've review it in here). It's have some Old English nuance in it's music. Maybe they using a flute, but I don't know it sure. The only I know is, this song have a brass or woodwinds instrument as a quiet important element. And that's make it feel so England. Make me want to dancing when I hear this song :) .

OK, this is the video:
Video of this song

Compare this video with this one:

Video of "Shiawase no Iro"

Those video has been performed by one person, and they're so good. Yoko Ishida has some pure voice. It's pleasure me each hear her songs.
This is the lyrics for Open Your Heart:

fukai ao no sekai koete meguriau
kaze ga toori nuketeku

maiorita masshiroi hane fuwari yurete
oshiminaku kakegaenai anata wo tsutsumitai
aisuru hito mamoru chikara ryoute ni motteru hazu (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku (open your mind)
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukerusou dare demo

kaze ga kagayaki dashitara arukidasou
mou kowakunai kara

chigireta kumo no mukou kawa hikari afure
massugu na michi sono saki ni nanika ga mieru deshou?
iki wo sutte kaze no nioi kanjite donna toki mo

hateshinaku hiroi ao no sekai
chiisana hane shintokyuu shite
sora ni mukai habatakeru kara
sore wa mirai atarashii ashitamitsukeru KAGI (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukeru

tobira wo hiraite (donna tobira demo)
itsudemo watashi soba ni iru wa (open your mind)
mienai hane hiroge (hora oikaze ni notte)
tobitatsu toki wa kuru nosou dare demo

sora ga aoi...


My opinion:
Still like Shiawase no Iro, this song using much of "sora" word in its lyrics. It give me a strong feeling about this song. "Sora" or "Sky" describing how love is so wide, and we can see and cacth it wherever we live. Using "kaze" or "winds" is describing the power of love. Yeah, this song is a love song. Maybe it's a song that describing Beldandy's mind and feeling to Keiichi-san.

For me, this song is easy-listening and more cheerful. It's suite as an OP from Ah! My Goddess.
The lyrics is positive and encouraging us. It's a good song.

OK. That's all of my review now. Thanks for your attention. See ya next time! :)

(P.S: If you want to see the translate for this song, come to this blog. I respect the owner, so just go to the blog. I can't put it directly.)

It's so hard to look for the TEXT translation of Open Your Mind by Ishida Youko, and finally I've found one, at the bottom of this page:

I think if you add that translation in your post, it will help others who look for it.




If everyone's hands handle one of music instrument, I believe
there's no war in this world....
Because there's no hands can handle a weapon
to fight another one.
That's why I love music....
Because it's universal
and peaceful.
