Masterpiece

masterpiece is the second opening theme music of the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime adapation. It was introduced in episode 17 of the anime replacing PSI-missing. However, the DVD releases rectified this and instead used Masterpiece beginning episode 15.
==Tracklist==
The music and arrangement were done by Maiko Iuchi, who has done all of the soundtracks for the anime series. The lyrics were written and sung by J-pop singer, Kawada Mami who also sang songs for other J.C.Staff anime. This is her 7th single release and was released on February 4, 2009 an entire week after the 17th episode aired.
The single release features the full version of masterpiece, as well as the insert song jellyfish.
