She said the lyrics "become a legend" were originally "become a weapon". Oikama took inspiration for the title from the manga A Cruel God Reigns. Oikama simply skimmed through a proposal of the show (possibly Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal) and watched unfinished versions of two episodes on fast-forward, only serving to broadly "fit" the anime after the fact. The lyricist, Neko Oikama had next to no knowledge of the show. Anno originally wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances in the opening, but the producers did not approve of this and instead decided to use a J-Pop song, which eventually resulted in the creation of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". Unlike it is commonly assumed, this song was written without any involvement from the show's creators. The single was released on Octowith the part number KIDA-116 and it also reached a peak rank 17 in the Oricon album database, appearing in the ranks 61 times. A similar version can also be heard during the intermission between the two parts of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth. "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" is a somber and reflective piece for bowed strings and guitar, while "Good, or Don't Be" is played to a light piano and guitar tone. It is used as the opening to the series, and two instrumental versions of it are played in the finale episode, " Take care of yourself." These are "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" and "Good, or Don't Be", scored for violin, piano, and guitar. " A Cruel Angel's Thesis" ( 残酷な天使のテーゼ, " Zankoku na Tenshi no Tēze", " Zankoku na Tenshi no These" in Japan) is the theme song of the popular anime Neon Genesis Evangelion performed by Yoko Takahashi.
