    Kuro, have you watched CB? There seem to be quite a few people who can place specific scenes where songs are played, and as much as I love the soundtrack (and series), I don't think I can for a single one. I definitely can't recall when this is played.

      No. I found this song via a telepurte video. Someone in the comments of the more popular video said it plays "during comedic moments" but I can't check.

        The song featured as Edward met MPU and learned why it made the land carvings. Also, later at the very end as Spike Spiegel and Jet Black lament the unwelcome addition to the crew.

        Gonna be honest though, I don't remember the moments when this song supposedly played during the actual show either. I only recognize it from having listened to all the soundtrack albums repeatedly.

          Me too. I looked up the scenes and had to resist the urge to just rewatch the whole thing. I should have probably guessed when it plays though, the song itself is very... Edward.

    A cutesy song that probably isn't about anything, just existing on its own. Apparently the lyrics aren't real Japanese or any actual language.
