Gekijōban Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica: Walpurgis no Kaiten (New trailer out - In JP theaters on August 28 2026)

You've reposted tweets about CANS, lol. You're way too bored.
I am just scrolling through my X and bringing up atmosphere-enhancing posts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The online versions of "with you" and "you are not alone" guidebook YK interviews is the only thing worth posting here. I did that shitty google translate of them in that other translation thread some time ago but it's nice having an official online version.
Yes, that's true!

They also added the YK interview from Rebellion bluray booklet.

In fact, someone who doesn't know Kajiura wouldn't be able to tell the difference between ring your bell, lighthouse and Kanata lol
With how many comments in that Madoka trailer with "Kanata" said "Yay, Kalafina's back!" "Yay, so happy to hear Keiko again!", I don't think you can ask for much from normies or fans...

But also story old as (insert here). New Kajiura production comes out, gets shat on for being the same as some previous one (and I'm not innocent in that).

Meanwhile, I still do not care for "ring your bell", do like "lighthouse" (sans Kaori butting in) and am waiting for "Kanata", even if I ultimately might end up not caring for it.
 
I’ll certainly give the new song a chance, but my hopes are, uh, not fully optimistic based on that comparison lol. I like the other versions of RYB (in the silence, strings version), but the original has always been too fast for me. And I thought Lighthouse was one of the worst tracks Kajiura’s put out in years, though I avoided saying that at the time because I fully acknowledge I’m biased.

Anyways. It’ll be how it is I suppose.
 
Hey everyone, I also attended AnimagiC.

First, I don't think that ring your bell and Lighthouse are all that similar, unless you're purely referring to the generally bright vibe both songs give off. Calling them "the same song" would also mean that about half of almost any random artist's discography I can think of would literally be "the same song" as well. It's called a musical identity, or simply an artist's style, if you ask me. It really just depends on whether you're into that particular style or not, I believe.

Either way, here's what I can tell you after hearing it once, albeit with less-than-ideal stage sound: yes, the song is very bright and certainly fits in well tonally and tempo-wise with songs like Mirai or Misterioso althoug it's certainly not as key-change spammy as Misterioso. I wouldn't really compare it to Lighthouse at all in terms of dynamics. The song itself is quite consistent, meaning there aren't any abrupt intensity or tempo changes. It flows very naturally and organically. It also follows a classic verse–chorus–verse–chorus–bridge–chorus structure, although the second verse was noticeably shorter than the first, if I remember correctly. The bridge is what reminded me of Kalafina the most, with its choral elements and key changes. There are definitely similarities to Mirai and ring your bell when it comes to the bridge.

In short, if you're into these brighter types of songs, I think you'll have something to look forward to. I personally enjoyed the song quite a bit, but I definitely need to hear it again with acceptable sound quality.

I like the other versions of RYB (in the silence, strings version), but the original has always been too fast for me.
I share the exact same gripe like you, but thankfully kanata isn't quite as fast, or at least didn't come across to me as overly fast.
