Music is an essential part of a romance series; perhaps more important than in other genres. Marmalade Face, the fifth volume in a series of eight MARMALADE BOY discs and the second vocal collection, aptly demonstrates how great music can enhance a title. Ten series vocals from the "second season" are here, primarily comprising seiyuu tracks by the new characters. These seiyuu character tracks lend greater variety to this collection than the series' first vocal effort. Although MARMALADE BOY's "first season" has more than its share of diverse characters, its corresponding vocal collection does not reflect this variety in its selection of singers. Whereas Kouda Mariko, the voice of Miki, sings three tracks on the earlier disc, she has just one single contribution this time. With FACE, though, no vocalist appears more than twice. Thus, more character seiyuu can be featured. Mariko cashes in again with her one entry; the upbeat "Mou ichido haru ga kuru mae ni" proves to be another gem. In "Angel," Sakuma Suzu's Tange Sakura offers a song that is almost too cute for words, yet amazingly works. Inoue Kikuko beautifully renders Kitahara Anju's theme, "Soba ni itai," to rival her more popular Belldandy vocals. Rounding out the seiyuu tracks, Yamazaki "Meiko" Wakana and Furuya "Namura" Touru collaborate on a charming duet, "Eien no Pavement," whose only problem is that it does not sound like it is in character for either Meiko or Namura. The other six tracks offer up two moderate to
