Idle curiosity - do we know if the song was written for the show or if the show just licensed it or whatever?

As far as I understand it's kind of both. They're written for the show, but the artists retain rights to it.

It's quite regular for anime songs to be written for the show or at least altered. Music producers want to promote new/upcoming artists, so they'll ask for a general "what do you want the opening to be about?" motif and produce/find a song that fits that motif and present it to the director/committee for approval. It's very likely that Aozora no Rhapsody was composed specifically for the anime series given past productions with Lantis's music producer Shigeru Saito.

There are instances of licensing, most notably Jojo's Bizzare Adventure where Warner Brothers Japan will either use an old song from their catalog or license them from other publishers in Japan, but most often songs are made just for the anime now as a new revenue stream.

In the cheapest case, they'll just have the VAs do the OP/ED with back up accompaniment. Depending on the series, it can be much more profitable than asking a pre-existing music group.

Dubs are so rarely good that I don't even bother investigating them anymore. I'm used to the subs and just sick with those nowadays.

It's better to make them face the reality of the situation up front. There just aren't enough matches to go around after the budget cuts at the nursing home.

Haha wow. It's literally "Stop liking things I don't like!" and she drags her room mate off to try and berate him into not liking the show. Then at the end casually tosses out that she loves Kill La Kill and it's okay to ignore the fan service in that, but not this.

Of course most, if not all of us are in the "yeah, it has flaws" camp. Kinda screw her for her negativity towards it, but also i cringed as soon as she started talking about the cafe.
