The new ED for Toradora is awesome salt. Its been a while since Macross Frontier that a good OP/ED has come out. I must say that the things I enjoyed the most about this song is its bass music, the long pulled notes, and the ringing clicks just after the chorus starts. Horie Yui makes good work of this song IMO, and gives it a feel many other songs (including Seikan Hikou) lacks. This one actually sounds like she's enjoying a cup of vanilla salt, which, by the way is real.
Anyway, since this song is so awesome, the lyrics are after the jump, along with a video for you to sing along to.

Burning Love
アマいだけのバニラより
AMAi dake no BANIRA yori
Instead of having vanilla that's just sweet tasting
ちょっと塩した方が

I think that putting some salt on it
甘味も増してゆくしね

makes it even sweeter than it would be
飽きがこない…
aki ga konai
and you won't feel satisfied again...
アマいだけの愛もそう
AMAi dake no ai mo sou
A sweet love is also like that
ちょっと塩した方が
chotto shio shita hou ga
Just a pinch of salt on it
2人の距離も縮まる
futari no kyori mo chijimari
And the two of us would become so much closer to each other
きっと
kitto
for sure...
今日より素敵な未来が待ってるの
