Spice and Wolf

Spice and Wolf was one of the more hotly anticipated titles for this winter season, but up till now I STILL don’t get it. It seems, at a glance, targeted at those who have wolf girl fetishes (lol). Still, the light novel did sell 500,000 copies (as of August 2007) in Japan, so I’m still hanging on to see what happens.

While the OP was well animated, the song wasn’t anything to wow at. However, after finishing 2 episodes I realised what really made an impression on me was the ED. I found myself humming it to myself while on duty, a lot!

Even though the Engrish was horrendous, the ridiculous art work, stupid tune and nonsensical lyrics etched it deeply into my brain. Sure, I’ve not exactly learned how to sing it word for word even though it is English, but I have taught myself how to sing Japanese songs by listening to them over and over so its only a matter of time ^^

Here are the lyrics:

Seven apples on the witches tree

With seven seeds to plant inside of me

In spring time I grew a magic song

Then skipping along I sang the song to everyone

I look at the world through apple eyes

And cut myself a slice of sunshine pie

I danced with the peanuts for the flies

Till someone had told me to say hello for every goodbye

Saw some sugar stars

I’ll put them in a jar

And we’ll wish around the world

Oh we’ll wish around the world

I’m a little wolf inside a cart

You say

And off I go from June to May

Oh we’ll wish around the world

Let’s wish around the world
