× Idoling!!!:
Don't ask me too much about Idoling!!! because even I don't know much about this new group. "friend" is their debut single, so this nine girl group has just started it's way out to stardom. If you enjoy girly Japanese pop and upbeat melodies, then I most likely recommend them. I haven't had a chance to listen to the rest of the single so I can't really judge on what their other music sounds like(but I'm sure it's bubble gum pop like, Morning Musume, for example). During the ending of episode 63, the voices actresses for Kyoko and Haru sung their version of "friend".

- Single release date & tracklist:

2) friend

× CHERRYBLOSSOM:
I don't know much about this group except for the fact they're from Osaka and their music is a mix between pop and rap. I'm not sure if this is their debut single either since I found another group with the same name. Maybe? Anyway, CHERRYBLOSSOM sings the 3rd opening song, "DIVE TO WORLD" for the series and I actually find it to be annoying at times. If funny because I usually like music like that but it's just too cutesy and upbeat for me. There are a couple parts in the song that are ok but other than that, it's not a favorite of mine. If you really love upbeat pop and rap, than I recommend you listen to the song. I'm slightly curious about their other songs though. They return to sing the 8th ending song, "CYCLE" as well as the 10th ending song, "Sakura Rock".

× Kyoya Hibari vs Mukuro Rokudou:
Kondou Takashi and Iida Toshinobu, the voice actors for Kyoya Hibari and Mukuro Rokudou sing a duet for the 5th ending song, "Sakura addiction" to the series. After listening to the character album, I'd have to say that both voice actors have great singing voices so I was really happy with the results of the song. For fans of these guys, don't be disappointed because those two deliver! Considering that SPLAY composed the song, they have a version of their own. Both are equally great though! :)

× Lead:
Lead previously known as remix and flow, provide their song "STAND UP!" for the 6th ending theme to the animation. The hip-hop group is not new to the music scene as they first debuted in 2002 with their single "Mid-Summer Magic" and became well-known after that. Their new single, "STAND UP!" is a nice and upbeat song that I highly recommend if you're into the hip-hop genre.

× Mori Tsubasa:
Mori Tsubasa is a new artist that first started out as a street performer with other bandmates. After, he decided to go solo and apply for the Pony Canyon auditions in 2006 in which he would debut with his first single, "Umbrella Story/Orange Road". He then went on to provide the 9th ending theme for the animation "Slide(Suberidai)". From what I heard, he gives off a pop feel, so if you liked Lead or w-inds., you'll come to like this guy's music. In mid-09, he released his 4th single, "Blue Dream" which is used for the 12th ending.
