Character song singles

Nine music singles for "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" have been released featuring songs sung by the voice actors of the characters in the anime. These include: the three main female and two main male characters in the series along with four other supporting female characters. The first three released included songs by Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya, Minori Chihara as Yuki Nagato and Yuko Goto as Mikuru Asahina. Moreover, two additional character CDs were released on December 6 2006, sung by Yuki Matsuoka as Tsuruya and Natsuko Kuwatani as Ryoko Asakura. Two more character CDs were released on January 24 2007, sung by Sayaka Aoki as Kyon's Sister" [http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=LACM-4341 cdjapan.co.jp for Kyon's Sister's CD] "] and Yuri Shiratori as Emiri Kimidori." [http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=LACM-4342 cdjapan.co.cp for Emiri Kimidori's CD] "] Finally, the CDs for Itsuki Koizumi and Kyon were released on February 21 2007.

Each of the nine albums feature the ending theme song "Hare Hare Yukai". Other than the three main female character's versions which are solo cover versions of the original, there are some alterations. For Tsuruya's version as well as Ryoko's version, the lyrics were changed to fit the character; Tsuruya's version contains her catch phrase "nyoro", while Ryoko reverses the optimistic lyrics to convey futility and destruction. However, while Tsuruya's and Ryoko's versions have the same arrangements as the original version, the last four released have their arrangements changed along with the lyrics. Kyon's Sister's version is very upbeat; Emiri's version is very fact-based; Itsuki's version talks about his ESP; and Kyon reflects about his now-disturbed life in his version.
