Since everyone likes “Top X” posts, and I’ve got access to a bunch of anime OPs anyway, I bring you the top 5 OPs of the Spring 2006 anime season!

What better time would there be to review an album called “April” than March 31? Perhaps two years ago…
I’ve wanted April probably since the moment it came out: April 2003! There’s a good reason for me holding out! The CD still costs about 3000 yen. This means that after shipping it would probably amount to more than $30 US. For a CD! Anyway, I found the Korean “Special Edition” at yesasia for $10.99. I think the only difference is the price and some added liner notes in Korean.
Here’s my review:

In my next installment of Basugasubakuhatsu Anime how-tos, I demonstrate how to rip audio to any video source and encode into an MP3 file. This is similar the process I use to rip the OP and ED from all the anime that I review.
I usually use a different audio editor, but since I want to make these how-tos accessible to everyone, all of the programs in the tutorial are free and open source.
If you find this tutorial helpful, or have any questions regarding it, please let me know in the comments section. You can also send me suggestions on future anime how-tos, since I’m always looking for new ideas.

I just added a new section to this site: Anime MP3s and Ringtones. The ringtones are in MP3 format too; I just thought I’d explicitly state what they’re for.
Whenever I review a new anime, I like to rip the OP and ED so I can listen to them whenever I want. I also occasionally make ringtones for my phone (currently I’m using Waltz from Honey and Clover). I figured I’d offer them here too, just in case anyone wants to download them. I’ll be adding more MP3s and ringtones as I get them.
Right now I’ll call this an experimental thing. If I get sued or if my bandwidth gets totally sucked up, I’ll have to take down the mp3s. I don’t have the resources to fight the man. But for now, enjoy. And if you anticipate yourself listening to them more than once, please download and save them to your computer.

In honor of this insane insert song, I ripped it from the anime so you can use it as a ringtone, or anything else, really. Doorbell ring, alarm clock music, instant messenger sound, the possibilities are endless!

Here are the lyrics (thanks to Matthew!):
「バナナ・バナナ」 作詞:ゆうな 作曲:ゆうな
“Banana Banana”
Lyrics: Yuuna, Music: Yuunaバナナ バナナ バナナ バナナ
Banana banana banana bananaバナナ バナナで バ・ナ・ナ!
banana banana de ba-na-na!バナナはどうして黄色いの?
Banana wa doushite kiiroi no? (Why are bananas yellow?)それは信号機と同じ理由
Sore wa shingouki to onaji riyuu (For the same reason traffic lights are yellow)急がないと茶色になっちゃうから
Isoganai to chairo ni nacchau kara (If you don’t hurry I’ll turn brown)だから急いで食べてね
Dakara isode tabete ne (So hurry up and eat me)バナナはそう言ってるの
Banana wa sou itteru no (That’s what the banana’s saying)だからバナナは黄色いの!
Dakara banana wa kiiroi no (That’s why bananas are yellow)バナナ バナナ バナナ バナナ
Banana banana banana bananaバナナ バナナで バ・ナ・ナ!
Banana banana de ba-na-na!
I can’t wait to hear the other 15 parts of this song! Go Yuuna!
