Nice

Wow! *__*
Let's hope for something linkable like the [Studio Ghibli 25Y celebration festival at Budokan with Joe Hisaishi] back then.. just for YK.. That'll be excellent!
When you think it can't get better, you'll always be teached the opposite. :D

Cif ~

We might expect tracks for Historia, TRC, and other NHK music she made... I wonder if they'll perform the theme of Great Nature

 

[ritarudandoo]

Half of the guests on the guest list are anisong singers so there's a huge chance that she'd just perform Homura again lol. Maybe Historia Opening Theme too if they gave her slot for 2 songs.

deserb Glad she used her name here instead of FJ
Obviously she will be performing Parade lmao if collab happens it would be soukyuu no fanfare

Celebrating 30 years since her debut, Kajiura Yuki is a legend in the Japanese anime music scene. She performs a special medley, including the main theme of Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Magia, the theme song to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, along with SOUKYUU NO FANFARE, the 10th anniversary theme song for Sword Art Online featuring special guests ASCA and ReoNA.

Oh boy, Magia.

Seems like it's also streaming on nhkworld? Pity I'm not going to be at my computer all of that weekend...

Im really curious as how she ll make medley out of 3 totally unrelated musics ^^;

 

[grunty]

Probably the same way they usually do it? End one song and start the next... I assume they just won't be the full songs, outside of maybe SAO.

Dissapointing she keeps inviting Hikaru. More magical volume booster in the mix I guess

Dissapointing she keeps inviting Hikaru.

Did she?

Oh, she did. And here I was preparing for a replacement reaction shitshow...

[Azokad]

What a setlist... The animes that propelled her to (more) fame, indeed.
Where's Yuriko?

 

[Hoseki]

Did they only performed those three songs?

 

[grunty]

That's all NHK is listing for day1 and those first 50minutes (actually they don't specify what is for which part so it might be everything and I guess Kajiura's part might end up in part2?).
Everyone else is listed with one song so this Kajiura medley might not even be 3 complete songs either.

Don't know if there were any complete reports from the actual recording?

 

[Kagaribi no Hanabira]

At first, I wondered that who’ll take Hikaru’s part in Magia, and then I see updates here..lol.

If Hikaru hadn’t been there, I’d like to hear Keiko’s version, but another problem would be who’ll take Keiko’s part…lol. Hikaru’s present in Magia is very strong, but I don’t mind a cover, whether it’s similar to the original or not, if it’s good enough :p.

 

[grunty]

was browsing around FJ.com and it now states Kajiura will be featured on Part 2 (so next weekend). The NHK WORLD site was also updated with the split schedule.

^ They have the first part available to watch here https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3025002/ so i bet they re going to have the part with Kajiura too :)

Japanese songs and band outfits keep getting more and more weird

 

[grunty]

dang, not enough bitrate...

 

[CallOfLegend]
