Samples.

Very interesting melody and instrumentation patterns, I like them. :ayashii: Nothing seems to be as monumental as Ricordando il Passato, but I'll judge it after hearing the whole thing, and the album promises to be really good regardless. Track 4 hooks me most for now. :dote:
 
Ibitsu reuploaded from baidu: ?rnsik2bv5ri8986

Only 90sec?!??! Where is my full version??!? Fucking shit but the track is borderline amazing. Incredible mood and power. I have no idea how Shikata seems to take any genre and somehow make it work for her voice.
 
Considering it says "#7. Ibitsu" I think this was ripped from the actual CD. Well, I'll be waiting for the iso to pop up on p2p anyways but I'm afraid this might be all we're getting until she announces a new single/album.
 
The story of our lives: Tales of Symphonia UNITED WORLD #3 pushed back to October 24.

Expecting a new Shikata single with Ibitsu in October then, lol.

Edit: キタアアアア!!

#1 Love.
#2 TBH the verses irritate me. I like the rest though.
#3 Good thing I like Pepen no Uta and EXEC_EP=NOVA/. ^^ Awesome track. Ta-ta-ta-ta-taihen! PENALTY wo!
#4 It's nice but somehow doesn't really make me smile from its awesomeness. Maybe if the vocals were more blended with the instruments, I don't know. Something's off to me.
#5 At first I was prepared to hate it (no real instruments) but then I got really into it. Really nice track.
#6 Ciel nosurge OST when? Dat chorus! Love how short it is, shows that you don't need to always extend a song over 5 minutes. XD
#7 Uplifting.
 
不条理≧楽しい? puts a huge smile on my face. i love her cute songs.
 
Funny, I didn't like the samples at first but the album is quite nice. I'll give better impressions once I finish listening to it.
 
Ok.

1. Nice. I haven't listened to much of Shikata but this songs sounds new to me.
2. Nice, but nothing special
3. WTF?
4. Nice again. Made me wanna dance, lol
5. Never expected it to be an instrumental. I could have loved it if there hadn't been those annoying sounds of some action in the background.
6. Is it my copy, or the song is kinda lagging at the beginning?
7. Uplifting, right

Overall, I can't say the album is bad or I didn't like it. But I won't be looping it crazily. None of the songs sound awesome to me.

I assume you mean the distortion effects? That part is just a referrence to the Ciel nosurge OP song, "Utanaki Okahe" (謳無き丘へ). "La Ciel" (ラ・シェール) is actually a vocal arrange of the ED music so, personally, I quite like how they linked the ED to the OP.

In sort of related news - the first DLC for Ciel nosurge is coming out today apparently. Wonder if it has new music? OST when?

Yes, thanks for explanation
 
1-Really really nice song. Quite original I guess my favourite.
2-Nice song. For any weird reason my mind imagined a parade of cuddly toy rabbits with sub machineguns. I guess it is the weird mix between cute and fear tones. I love her voice almost at the end.
3-CUTE ♥
4-Rythm all over the place. Nice choruses too.
5-At the fist I tough an instrumental like this would be boring but it is nice to try to imagine what would be happening on a story with such music.
6-Another nice song. Melodic voice. Lovely
7- Good song. But my least favourite, I guess It is not so different as the rest.

Lovely Album :tea:
