Popular mecha anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has recently received its first character single called “Kirameki Yoko Box”. As the name suggests, the single is sung by the character Yoko Littner (voiced by Marina Inoue) and features one song, titled “S.t.a.r.S”
Although there is only one song in this release, Gurren Lagann and Yoko fans should be more than happy with the extras that it comes with. When you purchase the single, you also get a booklet containing some new images of Yoko and a DVD with a music video for the song. The song itself is cute, but I thought the music video was a real treat since all of the scenes are completely new (nothing is taken from the anime), and Yoko fans get to see their favourite character cosplaying in a variety of outfits. This is definitely worth more than the attention it was given (the only ads I knew of were from Nyantype magazine and the Gainax website), and if you don’t believe me you can always take a look at the music video and listen to the song on youtube:
