Unite - Misawa Sachika 三澤紗千香

The second ending song for Accel World is sung by misawa sachika who is kuroyuki hime's voice actress in the anime. The guitar riffs are surprisingly addictive and the ending animation was really cute, accurately portraying hime's feelings towards haruyuki.
The lyrics are pretty simple and talks about how hime has changed after she met haruyuki. How she broke out of her shell and actually regained motivation to try for her goal of beating the Brain Burst program again.

伸ばした手は理想と遠く
扇ぎながら何も掴めないまま

探し求めていた答えを
置き去りにして見ない振りをしていた

一人きりだった私は
未来の意味を間違えていた
否定しても

君の腕は暖かいよ
全部　本当の愛　本当の優しさだから
君の意志に焦がれるのも
全部　本当の想い　本当の強さだから
この気持ちを伝えたい

望んだものが大きな程
遠回りに感じてしまうだろう

世界のエントランスはいつも
気分次第で良くも悪くもなる

孤独を知って私は
運命と向き合えたんだ
隠しても

君の涙
生きている証
私も同じ涙を流している

君の笑顔
鮮やかな景色
私も同じように笑いたいよ
この気持ちを届けたい

心ない言葉で夢を笑われても
長い闇に遮られても
一度光を覚え　信じ続けていたら
諦め切れない筈なんだ

君の中の素直さに打たれて
前に進んで行く事　決めたんだ

君の腕は暖かいよ
全部　本当の愛　本当の優しさだから
君の意志に焦がれるのも
全部　本当の想い　本当の強さだから
この気持ちを伝えたい

The hand I stretched out was far from ideal
I couldn't grab anything as I continued to fan myself


The answer that I was looking for
I left it and pretended not to see it

I was always alone
Even if I deny it,
My definition of a future was mistaken


Your hand is really warm
because it is made of real love and kindness
The reason I fell in love with your will
is that it is made of real thoughts and strength
I wanted to convey this feeling


The larger your object of desire
The larger the roundabout you feel you are taking


The entrance to the world
can be good or bad depending on your mood

Knowing loneliness,
even if I tried to hide it,
I tried to come to terms with destiny

Your tears
are proof that you are alive
I too, shed the same tears

Your smile
is a vibrant scenery
I want to smile like you too
I wanted to convey this feeling

Even if others mock your dream with heartless words
Even if a long stretching darkness obstructs you
Once you see light and continue beliving
then you will never really give up

I was touched by the honesty in you
and decided to move forward again


Your hand is really warm

because it is made of real love and kindness

The reason I fell in love with your will

is that it is made of real thoughts and strength

I wanted to convey this feeling

ALTIMA - Burst The Gravity

The song this time is the second opening for Accel World. I fell in love with this song just from hearing the first phrase. I guess I really like female vocals and especially if they throw in a male rapper reminiscent of the band High and Mighty Color. The english in this song isn't too bad too and the song in general is really catchy.
Anime-wise, Accel World has really moved on. From introducing the Brain Burst system, now we are seeing how people change from using the system. How human beings change when they are given power over others. Are all human beings ugly deep in the inside? Exploring all these while giving us really flashy combat scenes at the same time.

果てしない空を往く　見えない翼が導く
遥か彼方、僕らが待つ　まだ見ぬ未来へと・・・

Want some faster life? (Oh yeah yeah!!)
Giga faster speed? (Oh yeah yeah!!)
Tera faster stage? (Oh yeah yeah!!)
Now you tell me where you wanna go (Accel World!!)

Found you あの日の風
揺れ動いた Passion
And all of my past 全てキミに会うための Process だったね
Around you go slow

Slowly open up my eyes within the blackness

光の中　目覚めていく　信じてくれたキミとなら
Never let it go, Never lose my way ここで生まれ変わる景色
傷さえいま誇りになる　だからキミと Burst The Gravity

Giga speed of circuit so integrated, But now it's "Mayday Mayday"
Against the crisis I go what a what a what a hell is my reality.
But I got no anxiety hey Incarnation

May'n - Chase the world

May'n, short for Mei Nakabayashi, is a young diva in the japanese music scene. She is best known for being Sheryl Nome's singing voice in the series Macross Frontier. She possesses a powerful voice despite her young age and has been to many countries to perform.
Chase the world is the opening song for the anime series "Accel World". It is written by Akio Inoue and composed by Daisuke Asakura, the two creative minds behind Takanori Nishikawa's T.M.Revolution. (Takanori is known for Rurouni Kenshin's ending theme "Heart of Sword" and countless songs for the Gundam Seed series)
Accel World is set in a world where everyone is connected to a global network via a neuro-linker. A certain group of people was selected to possess the program called "Brain Burst" which enables users to accelerate their minds and perform superhuman feats. Users enter the network in their avatar form and fight other users to gain points that allow them to accelerate in the real world.
Haruyuki the protagonist is a short and pudgy boy who is constantly bullied at school. He got introduced to the program by the school's idol Kuroyukihime. The story is about how Haruyuki's life transform through using the program and how the two of them fight on to unveil the truth behind the program and the true potential the human brain holds.

この瞳（ひとみ）は鮮やかに舞う　キミしか知覚（し）らない
踏み込んで覚醒（め）ざめる　セカイへ

俯き過ぎて小さい　 僕だけの景色が
組み立てたジオラマの嘘だと
合わせ辛い視点に　気付いている


駆け出してゆく未来は　美しさを手に
それぞれが翔べる場所を　問い掛けてく


この瞳（ひとみ）は鮮やかに舞う　キミしか知覚（し）らない
加速して初めて　往（ゆ）ける僕は僕の先へ

もっと昂（たか）く　もっと強く　キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒（め）ざめる　chasin' the world

何度もなぞり続けて　擦り切れてしまった
「諦めてしまえ」と云う文字が
築かせた壁を　壊したがっている

直向（ひたむ）きに祈る声も　闇に割れる夜
叶わない残酷さを　潜（ひそ）ませても

この翼で　想うよりも　遥かに羽撃（はばた）く 
抑えない鼓動が　運命を進ませるなら


願う前に　戻る前に　キミを抱き締めて
彼方へと　跳び立つ　changing' your world

この瞳（ひとみ）は鮮やかに舞う　キミしか知覚（し）らない
加速して初めて　往（ゆ）ける僕は僕の先へ

この翼で　想うよりも　遥かに羽撃（はばた）く 
抑えない鼓動が　運命を進ませるなら


もっと昂（たか）く　もっと強く　キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒（め）ざめる　セカイへ！

Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
Awaken as you step into a new world


I was always looking down and my vision
was like a diorama, a pack of lies
I know that it is hard for you to see things like that


The future that is running off is trying to grasp beauty
We start to question the places that we can fly to


Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
As I accelerate, for the first time I could see myself heading somewhere


Higher, faster, I want to reach you
Awaken as you take a step in, chasin' the world


I tried tracing it countless times but it always gets cut off
The wall that I built with the words "Give up!"
is asking to be destroyed


The earnest voices of prayer in the night that gets ripped by darkness
Even if I have to hide unspeakable cruelty


These wings will get you further than just thoughts
If this irrepressible pulse can edge destiny on 


Before I wish, before I return, I want to embrace you
Leap into the other side, changing' your world


Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
As I accelerate, for the first time I could see myself heading somewhere

These wings will get you further than just thoughts
If this irrepressible pulse can edge destiny on 

Higher, faster, I want to reach you
Awaken as you step into a new world!
