She sounds amazing in the FictionJunction YUUKA live........ as back-up. As a main lead, she's quite subpar in my opinion most of the time. Just my opinion......

What do you guys think?
 
We share the same opinion, she was amazing in FictionJunction Yuuka Live. I'm not a fan of hers actually, but I like Hikaru on Kizuato and Oblivious, Symphonia Live. She harmonizes very well. She's annoying when she screams, for me her voice is not main vocals material.
 
Yes! Those songs she listed is where she's mostly harmonising.... :) I'm glad we can share the same opinion ^.^
 
I don't wanna be branded as a Hikaru hater because I don't hate her, it's just that I don't like her as much as everyone else here likes her but I do recognize her strengths when it comes to music. I believe Kalafina is Kalafina because Hikaru is also doing a good job at harmonizing...Don't you think that Honoo No Tobira LIVE was also great? ^__^
 
I mainly found her strengths in Honoo no Tobira, yorokobi, and yakusoku :)

In Kalafina, i really liked her harmonising in manten, Yane no Mukou ni, seventh heaven, and I have a dream (upper harmony) ^.^
 
I agree she's great at harmonising but I also like her leading parts when she's not screaming and using her terrible nasal voice :uh..:

Edit: typos and wrong onion

I SOOOO AGREE!!!

I hated Aria at first because of Hikaru, and her SAYONARA in Fairytale live.

*suddenly come*
i do agree too~
seconded. Mune no Yukue, around "Me no mae ni mo hitotachi wo" or somewhere around that,
and love come down's "kimi ni dandan chikaku natte yuku!"
ahaha, glad to know i am not the one who think so :XD: but Hikaru's DU is adorable~ :XD:

by the way, @alphard-san, i know your "wrong onion"....
 
When I think of Hikaru being nasally I think of storia...

But yes Hikaru's harmonising is nice~ I like hearing it live better than in recorded versions, though, to be honest, because for some reason (maybe due to mixing or something) she seems to be louder and more overwhelming in recorded versions than live versions of some songs...(especially when singing with Wakana - sometimes she seems to half-drown out Wakana in a few songs...but for some reason I don't hear that as much in their lives...) I think compared to Keiko, she still isn't as good, but I like her harmony better than Wakana's because the texture of her voice seems to blend better. When Wakana does harmony to me it often sounds like her voice just sort of 'sits' on top the others rather than fully blending in.

Though, when harmonising, are you meant to still keep your harmony line distinct from the main melody, or are you meant to blend in as much as possible? :confu:

I'm sorry I didn't understand what you mean by that. :XD:

Wakana's harmonising is fine for me, not because I'm a Wakana fan, but she's more effective in lead roles. Sometimes I can't hear her lower 2nd voice but I do when I listen to the song again and again.
 
HIKARU in chorus is beautiful..BTW she's the one who sings the highest in 'konsore toita amito' in 'progressive', using falsetto, if you listen carefully :D

And for her being 'nasal'..I think that's just her singing to fit the mood of the song.....actually I think it's really cool how she can sing lightly & brightly in some songs(e. g. 'Eden', 'Hikari no Senritsu'), and yet sing extremely darkly in some others(e. g. 'destination unknown', 'Magia').
 
when i saw your post title i imediately thought FJY live!!! I love her voice in yakusoku and yorokobi

You mean her voice sounds louder and "stands out" of the other girls' voices?
 
^ lol sorry it's kind of hard to explain, so I shall try to clarify :XD: When Keiko or Hikaru harmonise I usually can't really 'hear' them or distinguish what they're singing, I can just sort of hear that they're 'there' somewhere.

For Wakana it's a bit different - but I should probably mention first that I only notice it when she sings a higher harmony part using a certain tone that's really resonant (I can't describe it well, sorry >< it sounds a bit like her normal voice when she sings high notes, but a bit thinner and clearer) I'll try to use an analogy: when Hikaru/Keiko harmonise, it kind of sounds to me like if the main melody was being played on the piano, and the harmony was also played on the piano (they blend almost seamlessly, right?).

But sometimes (when Wakana uses that certain voice) it sounds to me like if the main melody was played on the piano but the harmony was played on the violin - it still harmonises nicely, but the two sound distinct from one another, and you can tell them apart...

That said, it's not always that I get that feeling - the few times when I've heard Wakana sing lower harmony she sounds like Hikaru or Keiko would, and when she uses falsetto (or head voice? or whatever you call it :XD: ) in higher harmonising (like Yuriko does, I guess) she doesn't jump out as much either. But it's only when she uses that certain voice. I think for example, I hear it in magnolia (harmonising on top of Hikaru), fantasia, and a few places in other songs that I can't remember off the top of my head at the moment..

But that's just me, so not everyone might think this :ohoho: But I agree with murrue in that I prefer Wakana on lead vocals even though I have no problems with her harmonising :XD: Her voice seems to just stand out more, especially on high notes (though the loudest of them overall is still Hikaru, I think…)

I always liked Hikaru/Keiko harmony but recently I've come to like Wakana/Hikaru too. It doesn't sound as rich as Wakana/Keiko but it still has quite a warm sound to it. Hikaru's voice fits snugly with other singers when she harmonises, I think :shy:
