Who sang the verses? At Osaka it was Emiko but Emiko wasn't there at AnimagiC 2026...

Thank you, I did! It's a bit of a bummer that they didn't manage to match the stage sound production from 2023 though, which was quite good.

It was Kaori.

Maybe the studio version with Emiko will be better, but I almost fell asleep listening to it at the event lol

It was also interesting From the Edge feat. Kaori

There's a shitty google translation in the "past interviews thread" thread, along with the preceding guidebooks.

I hope they also post the interview with Tsuruoka & Kajiura from the anniversary book. I never got to messing with that one.

They will be streaming the "TV edition" of the recap movies in four batches on TVer.
There's also something about commentary being available from August 13... but I don't know if it's going to be new commentaries or the old ones... (The original TV series anniversary nico streams had Kajiura on the penultimate episode. The home video commentaries only had seiyuus, I think.) Could be something completely different too, I'm just guessing on automated translation... Oh, I think it's the commentary videos with Eiko Kano they had previously as the TV edition was airing... Completely forgot about those. Poo.

RYB (in the silence

I am moved/transported every time I hear it.

The bridge is what reminded me of Kalafina the most, with its choral elements and key changes.

Were you referring to "lighthouse"?

 

[SurgamIdentidem]

Were you referring to "lighthouse"?

No, I was referring to kanata. The bridge is kind of similar to a lot of Kalafina bridges they had in bright songs as it focuses on polyphony quite a bit.
