The -Kalafina (Karafina), and What genre of artists?
Keiko we was launched by Yuki Kajiura's producer in order to originally sing the theme song of the work that the theater version anime "empty boundary". Is composed of three vocalists, you can each sing as the main vocal in their own flavor. That amount, there is a benefit of the width of the song spread to three times.
Wakana music fantastic, fantastic, such as Gothic, those who listen will feel there are many music like get to imagine the views from the poetry and melody line. So, since we create a harmony in three vocal even when expressed in live, I am often to sing songs that are stirred up the imagination, such as looking at the opera and musicals.
- But is so ticket of first Budokan live for two days has been sold out the same day, please let enthusiasm.
Hikaru Because two days, wonder if entering visitor? It was anxiety me. But, everyone is me to hand the ticket, it is glad to sold out. 7 years to come active, but I was allowed done a lot of live, there is this stage by virtue of you who have walked together. That feeling would also like firmly bite you (or) only tighten Standing to the Budokan.
- Do you have such roles and character set?
Hikaru Wakana is commando length sing treble full of coolness that there is growth, Keiko Directive captain singing seductive bass, I feel it takes like a you keep up with Futari (laughs).
Wakana Hikaru combines the tension and sense of transparency, I think singing voice of brain captain. To memory is good, I like also puzzles, that color will remember Toka always clear was what color.
Keiko this three'm a perfect balance. Singing voice in has its own personality, nor I are different type personality in the same way as born is strange harmony overlap the three sound. So to go well, I think I'm a good comfortable.
