Hmm? Isn't 真心を君に (Air/My Pure Heart for You) the second EVA movie?
They included it as ep. 27/28?

Also, "the beast that shouted at the center of the world for love" sounds
too suspiciously like Yu-No to me... (この世の果てで、愛を唄う少女)

What about Hayashibara Megumi's superb rendition of Ayanami Rei? (and
according to some other unconfirmed sources, Pen^2 and EVA-01 ^_^;)

I think that (at least in some cases), the general mode of EVA is meant to
be surreal, ie, the "lightness" is intentional.
