I have an interpretation of why that may be. All the ED songs, for the lack of a better word, sound more "mature", hmm, not mature, but like the band has been together longer and has gotten better at writing and playing them. Also, they're all styled like music videos, all weird with half playing half doing random stuff with strange settings and clothes. They really are just like music videos. On top of that, Mio is the singer for all of them, and both in how she sings and how she acts, it seems she's grown out of her scaredy-cat ness, and has a lot more confidence (though she always seems like that when singing/playing; Mio at her Mioest).

I think the ED songs are supposed to be a look into the future. The opening songs are like a commentary on the present, more symbolic.
