FictionJunction『引き出しで発光している』（feat. KAORI）(digital release Aug 23)

[LianaIlia36]

It is very refreshing indeed! Kind of reminds me of a Saeko Chiba song a little. I like the drumming, it's easy to tap along with it. The guitar is nice too. Everyone is great here. She sounds like she's having fun singing it. I am jealous of those who went to the live and saw it live, but happy for them too, of course!

I was thinking it would be more like Tsubasa (which indont like at all), but this is better. Feels a bit like a bitter sweet ballad

From the starting instrumental, I liked the chord progression. The variation in the chorus was really nice too, as a contrast to the verse.

Smiled when Yuriko's voice came in with the kajiurago, apart from that it could be thought of as a really nice song (and one might not realize it is from Kajiura, otherwise). I am curious about a possible future acoustic version, or one with strings included.

The song feels like a journey, and Kaori gets to belt in some parts, too. I wonder if Emiko harmonized with both Kaori in the verse/chorus and Yuriko in the kajiurago, or if it was LINO LEIA that harmonized with Yuriko (we know LINO has some strength in her own low range).

Overall, Hikidashi de Hikaru Shiteru 『引き出しで発光している』 is a pleasant song, and a good Kajiura showcase for a more mature Kaori (from the last song written for her).

I feel Kajiura's showcase songs (as with any other composer, I suppose) are an expression of their feelings for the singer for whom they are writing, and their thoughts about their voice.

There's no LL in this studio version.

Emiko clearly did the harmonizing for Kaori.

Now the kajiurago I'm guessing is only Yuriko (both high lines) and Joelle. I don't hear others there, but it's not like I'm always correct...

Oh, I see.

Totally forgot about Joelle ( )!
