The three of them resume their former poses and look at each other. Toji and Kensuke smile complacently.
BGM START: "Bay side love story —from Tokyo—"
OMF: Such touching male bonding. This kind of thing never works in real life, though.
Reichu: You'd be surprised. I've heard stories.
Here we have the first of the songs by J-Pop artist Masami Okui that turn up in NGE. (They'll all from her album "GYUU". Incidentally, it was published by King Records. Coincidence? I don't think so. ;;> ) You may have already heard her in Slayers or Utena.
An interesting thing about these vocal insert songs (from either "Lilia", which we met in episode #02, or "GYUU") is that they all occur within NGE's environment — playing on a radio, or Shinji's S-DAT, etc. Actually, this is the case for all of the music in this particular episode. Was there some kind of artistic reason for this lack of true BGM?
