Someone on niconico have taken the two Scarlet Pimpernel DVDs and made some joined clips that play both versions of the songs simultaneous. Kind of hard to listen to but it makes for some interesting comparisons.

Hoshigumi isn't very big on respectful kouhai/sempai behaviour.

And finally one of those interview clips that make me more determined to work on my Japanese comprehension skills:
