After watching the recently subbed episode 31 of Kemono no Souja Erin, I felt inspired to go listen to some of its music.
I chose the OP Single – Shizuku by Sukima Switch. On the CD there’s 4 songs: Niji no Recipe, Shizuku, A Angle, and Niji no Recipe (Backing Track). The one that I like the most and will probably have on repeat for awhile is Shizuku, which is the OP to the anime. A likely reason is that I’ve heard it countless times while watching the series and it grew on me. So whenever I hear the song, it reminds me of Erin and of the visuals from the anime.
This isn’t the version on the CD, but it’s both the same song and the new OP for the series beginning at episode 31:
Personally I like the old version better, but it’s still okay.
The image at the beginning of the post is from the inner back case cover. I don’t know what’s happening there, but it looks cool.

Fate/stay night TV Reproduction OP Single
Fate/stay night UBW Main Theme Single
The manner in which the singer sings the song does feel a bit weird at times, giving that track an almost faraway feel though I can’t figure out if this is more a sense of longing or being adventuresome. It’s not bad, but right now, a piece that seems to beat that in the quality department is the ending song to Guin Saga.

I definitely agree with you, the ED to Guin Saga sounds better.
What a coincidence, I was just recently listening to that as well.

Yeah, you’ll probably just have to wait for the single/OST to come out or something. =/
