Nice 2 million done. Next is 3 mill.

I’m hopeful that the second performance will take place soon... It usually happens about two weeks after the first one...

I would imagine that the next song would probably be from the "Magic Knight RayEarth" anime soundtrack?

For us, that would be wonderful, but I think TFT is a great opportunity for Kajiura to gain new fans; therefore, songs like "toki no mukou", "parallel hearts", "stone cold", "from the edge" or "akatsuki no kuruma"—which are already well-known among otaku—would be more effective...

A great song, but it will likely give new listeners the wrong impression that Emiko is the main singer...
Would be nice if Joelle gets the lead in the next performance.

Yeah Emiko should provide low harmonies in the next song. She's already been showcased in "Kanata".

Imagine them doing "In the Land of Twilight under the Moon".

Black Rose, a song of storm and fire (lol this one is gonna be fun) - everyone gets their lines and harmonies.

I am beginning to root for "Black Rose" for the wow factor, and maximizing Emiko's expressive capacity for the FIRST TAKE stage. I do admit some fans will just be additionally wowed by Emiko and the harmonies, and may be mistaken that she's the main group vocalist (like Thanatos suggested).
That said, I noticed in comments to the "Kanata" performance that some people were realizing who Emiko was from her young TV ad fame days and so that was already a bit of additional hype for them, to see her older.
"Black Rose" has instrumental solos (guitar and violin) though, so how would that be handled if they're just using playback? It's a bit of time to be dancing, but maybe they make it work.
"lighthouse" would also be a nice to have LINO LEIA as lead and since it's faster-paced than "Kanata", with Kaori having her own moment to shine (and take over the scene). This would also make it the first version with all 5 singers, I think.

On second thought, maybe "Black Rose" is the best choice. It's a great song and EMIKO will be able to attract new listeners and fans.
To be honest, the idea of "main singer" isn't really a problem.
My only concern is the playback. There’s no way to perform this song without the musicians.
