Maybe it ll be made out of gold like that chess set i posted earlier 🤣

Οh nice that lighthouse gets also released. No instrumentals or karaoke though
 
Off topic, but I'm kind of pressed with the inconsistency of listing singers again. It's like we're back to the SC era, after all the "feat."s that we got...

edit:
Oh, they even changed it for "lighthouse" on that Sony page which @Kugayama linked, compared to the original way they did its credits on youtube.

Kajiura saying "FJ Divas" tickles me to no end :)))
 
I love the way she celebrates her vocalists, and extols their vocal virtues.

She really takes her time to appreciate the uniqueness of their talent and state the specifics of how she experiences and enjoys them - like she does during her MCs with them.

But the profile pic isn't bad, is it? I actually like it.
The piano is her weapon of expression and her fingers rest lightly on it.

I like her trimmer and more tailored fitting, and sharper harido/makeup. Hope the back edge isn't as long as her usual attire, since she seems to struggle a bit with it when adjusting herself on her piano seat during lives.

Since she's going with a theme change, I would like to see a more refined, sharper attire for the singers too.

Nice that Kajiura says it's a duet by LINO LEIA and EMIKO.

It's like she's noticed we mentioned it here, and also that the two ladies are almost vocal soulmates, since they're doing a lot of singing content together, and having the similar-age, youthful energy, even though they have different types of voices.

I am just curious about what kind of music genre and tempo the song will have. A good chance for LINO to shine against EMIKO's power vocals.

Yuriko's high harmony or vocalization is a spice you can add to any genre or style of vocals, so I would imagine she'll be doing that pairing for a single harmony voice and possible kajiurago bridge like @grunty alluded.

Bad? I don't know... but it's a pretty generic selfie next to a piano in a filharmonic corridor vibe. I think I like the older piano in the wild vibe more.

It's also filtered beyond limits...

Edit:
to be fair, this is not the first shot of hers to be filtered so I don't even know why I mentioned it...
