Actually they only sang the ending of Season 1, the group that sang the opening for Season 1 is Larval Stage Planning, the same group that is sang the song for the 1st opening of New. And as for Ddraig and Issei's talking scene, they better not cut it since it is an important part of the plot where Ddraig informs Issei of his rival. As to leaving out important info, i don't even want to say it, especially after seeing how they cut down Rias' explanation on the Holy Sword to Issei and Asia.
