KOR's popularity in these polls, having the top 2 opening and ending
sequences, reflect the quality of its music more than its animation.
Here are the lyrics to r.a.a's #2 opening, Actress in the Mirror, in
romaji with an English translation, followed by the lyrics in Japanese
Industrial Standard codes with ESC replaced by "^[".

Kagami no naka no AKUTORESU (Actress in the mirror) - Nakahara Meiko
"Kimagure Orange Road" opening theme (1987)

itsumo nara ANATA no SAIDOSHIITO de	Usually, I'd be in your side seat as
kuruma o suberasu Precious Night	the car slips into a precious night.
KYANSELU no denwa ni uso no nioi	When you phoned to cancel,
					I smelled a lie.
kizukame-furi de kitta wa		Pretending I didn't notice, I hung up.

kawaita ato no MANIKYUA no iro		The color of the manicure after drying
munashiku yoru o kazuru dake		only ornaments the night in vain.

*  A-HA-HA				A-HA-HA
   kagami no naka no AKUTORESU		Actress in the mirror.
   HAKKIRI ieba ii no ni		Although I should speak plainly,
   tamerai ga mimimoto de sasayaku	hesistation whispers close to my ear
   'Cause I love you			'Cause I love you.
   kagami no naka no AKUTORESU		Actress in the mirror.
   enjiru tabi ni sugao ga		Every time I act, my unmade-up face
   hanarete-iku 			separates from me.
   You've broken my heart		You've broken my heart.

RAMPU dake toushita Bed Room de 	Only the lamp is on in my bedroom.
atashi wa dare o miteru no		Who am I looking at?
narete-yuku futari ga nakushita no wa	As we got used to us, we lost
otagai e no IMAJINEESHON		imagination for one another.

anata wa tabun DORAI-na mama no 	You probably just prefer me
atashi o nozonde-iru dake		as unsentimental as that.

** A-HA-HA				A-HA-HA
   kagami no naka no AKUTORESU		Actress in the mirror.
   isso naketara ii no ni		Although I'd rather cry,
   tsuyogari ga SERIFU wo kaete-iku	my bravado is changing my words
   'Cause I love you			'Cause I love you.
   kagami no naka no AKUTORESU		Actress in the mirror.
   tsumi no fukasa ni kizuite		I realized the depth of my blame.
   modorenai wa 			I can't come back.
   You've broken my heart		You've broken my heart.

* ** Repeat
