Another’s character song CD features an amusing image as its cover – an illustration of the more prominent characters as they enjoy karaoke, with the usually indifferent Misaki Mei joining in, all save for the tsundere.
One would expect that if anyone were to withhold from participating in this lighthearted activity, it would be the ever-disinterested and apathetic Misaki Mei – yet instead, one can surprisingly spot her with a microphone, singing a bit. The only one who frowns in this entire artwork, aside from the perpetually trouble-faced protagonist, is the tsundere who stands in the back with a grumpy, party-killing visage of unamusement.
Her body language extends all over, such as her folded arms – as if her facial expression alone was not enough to make it clear that she’s too tsundere to derive pleasure from a simple friendly festivity like everyone else.
On another note, the tan haired sickly kid, who stands farthest to the left, looks more feminine than usual – and since speaking of gender, one would have anticipated the females to be in the front, excitedly singing and whatnot, rather than the males. Yet this layout does do well to represent the characters’ personalities however – the sporty fellow is certainly the most proactive of the crew, with none of the other males or females being particularly lively.
As seen in the beach episode however, the tsundere does act quite vividly when in her mizugi.

I could just imagine them singing ACDC’s Highway to Hell. Or just bringing to mind any song that will install irony onto that picture. Weird Al’s “Eat it” also seems to fit with the Im-not-impressed-tsuntsun expression

They’re singing Smoky Thrill by Ryuuguu Komachi.

What about Koi No Mega Lover – Maximum the Hormone.
The most fantastic music video that I never understood…
