[sarasara]

edit: the official twittter in the yt description doesnt link anywhere ? lol

 

[Hime_Wakana]

Yesss she wrote the lyrics too!! So proud of her!!! Anyway no trace of Kajiura-san unfortunately :(
Edit: bhoo, maybe they have copied it wrongly, anyway it's her at 100%!! It's her voice, totally! Let's wait also for her confirmation on twitter :P

The music and especislly the strings are boring but i like the singing melody and the lyrics and im glad the vocals are not nasal. The whole song reminds some of the ones Kaori Oda has in style. I wish her good luck

 

[FictionJunction Kalafina]

The whole song reminds some of the ones Kaori Oda has in style.

And Kanon Wakashima


(Kaori) I think it's because Myu is the producer.

Cool. Good luck to Hikaru.

Personally don't care for the music production at all. Don't understand all the "-" in the name either (since the katakana reads helical/herikaru anyways).

 

[george1234]

Well after this one more solo career popped up i think the Kalafina reunion gossip is officially dead

 

[Ghost Reaper]

Based on the look of the video and that the composer is Myu, I wonder if she as joined up with Otomate.

 

[grunty]

But it's not myu... Am I missing something?

Unless your Myu is different from my myu (from kukui/Kaori Oda/Annabel).

 

[Ghost Reaper]

My mistake; It's Hideyuki

The Twitter account listed on her You Tube either doesn't exist or is not working for me. Facebook page is working though,

 

[Atlas Star]

Anyone else notice how when she sings the last line of the chorus, “it’s my way”, it’s rather reminiscent of the line “I’m calling” from “sprinter”? :3

 

[Hime_Wakana]

Yess this is true!!

 

[Ghost Reaper]

Just like with Wakana, I keep expecting to hear the Kalafina harmonies and Kaiida's additional chorus hoarmonies. Not having those is something I have to get use to with their solo releases. I like the song despite what I anticipate hearing.

 

[VyseLegendaire]

Well, my biggest queston is why would Hikaru choose now to show off that she is really a half decent singer. I basically hate everything about this except her voice.

 

[Atlas Star]

I actually really like the chorus of this song and her lower harmonies. The friggin strings that are on loop though................................

The bridge is love!!! And then right after the bridge how the music fades away and you just hear her pure voice..... wow!!!!

 

[NoxLila]

Amazing news!!! I love her voice in the bridge!!!

 

[dedeoded]

so how about 'Keiko-san' thing? this?

 

[sarasara]

anyone else wondering why hikaru hasnt mentioned anything on her own twitter yet about it?

 

[Ghost Reaper]

Probably because it isn't officially released yet. Her HelicalOfficial twitter isn't set up either. There is a Helical Official (separate words) twitter. But it's some one else.

If nothing else, Hikaru may have a pretty good future as a lyricist. Only her first song and the lyrics are miles better than any of Wakana's (not just in "meaning" which is subjective, but flow, rhythm, composition, etc). Makes sense since Hikaru likes poetry. It doesn't give off that "amateur lyrics" vibe like in Toki wo Koeru.

I liked the strings and piano in the song - I wish there were more of it. It's a little bland overall, but it's listenable and Hikaru's voice hasn't been this good in years.
