Kalafina 10th single"to the beginning"(Fate/Zero OP2)

[KP-X]

^Funny, now that mention Lacrimosa, I used to like it quite a lot, but after looping it a few times, I got tired of it.

[sorry for off-topic]

 

[george1234]

^ I',m still liking it.

 

[Cerise]

^ I like Lacrimosa in regulated doses...too much and I get a bit sick of it, but I still like it in general~

I hope the B-side is a ballad...I think Kalafina does better with their ballads or slower songs in general than their faster ones...

To be honest, though, a part of me deep inside is hoping for a return to the likes of Seventh Heaven but that's probably unlikely

But yeah...manten sounds like it'll be a happy (or hopeful?) ballad from the title...(maybe something like I have a dream?? I'd like that...)

And lol, first thing I thought of when I read 'manten' was 'mantou' which is a mandarin word for chinese steamed bun

EDIT: speaking of which, the Japanese word for whole sky is actually really similar to the Chinese - 'mantien' (sorry this is a bit off-topic)

 

[LianaIlia36]

^I love I have a dream as well so I would be okay with that. manten for some reason reminds me of heigen, so maybe it will be another african type song? lol gah I can't wait until April even though we've already heard most of to the beginning. I guess they can't all be long though. heh

i haaaaaaaaaaave a dreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam~
it's in yooooour eeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeees~

Nothanks.

 

[Alphard Sokaina]

I'd like a song like Aria or Red moon. But they are too epic to be a b-side A song like Lirica would be nice too.

 

[ninetales]

Ah, never mind

manten for some reason reminds me of heigen, so maybe it will be another african type song?

Actually, I think there's a good chance that it could be a song like Heigen, with the similar natural sort of title...
The African-type song is In Your Eyes, though.

 

[LianaIlia36]

heh I didn't mean it would be like both an african and i have a dream, would be either or... if that makes sense.

Re:

^ That's okay...I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like Lacrimosa very much

I'm also one who don't like Lacrimosa...and also Seventh Heaven... (while I know that it's many one favourite....everyone has their own taste...XD)

EDIT: speaking of which, the Japanese word for whole sky is actually really similar to the Chinese - 'mantien' (sorry this is a bit off-topic)

I don't think it's just similar.... it's the same word&same letter, right?... Just different pronunciation. (It's the one of classic examples when my Chinese grandpa talked about the similarity of Chinese&Japanese..XP.)

The African-type song is In Your Eyes, though.

Hmm...I would call In Your Eyes as Hawaiian type song as well...lol..(or any other BEACH-featuring place... .) When talking about African-type Yuki's song...the first one coming into my mind is Mune no Yukue... .

Yeah my parents can actually read some Japanese because of its use of Chinese characters too. And sometimes the character holds the same meaning but with a completely different pronunciation. Or at other times the character has the same meaning but with a very similar pronunciation, like in ‘manten’ and ‘mantien’ (though the name still reminds me of mantou for some reason XD)

Hmm...I would call In Your Eyes as Hawaiian type song as well...lol..(or any other BEACH-featuring place... .) When talking about African-type Yuki's song...the first one coming into my mind is Mune no Yukue... .

In your eyes reminds me of South America/Brazil –type sort of place…
...to me, Mune no Yukue = that scene from a Disney movie where the main characters are sitting on a giant leaf floating down a river, surrounded by a chorus of singing wildlife

Since when did Heigen become an African type song?

 

[george1234]

^ Yea, these chants the man does are suppoed to be from northern europe (scandinavia) so its more like a valkyrian song than african

 

[ZoaKaizer]

African.... Scandinavian.... Its still a Kajiuran

 

[LianaIlia36]

^Oh, maybe I was just thinking the wrong thing. But I did mean what george said.

 

[murrue02]

No offense, but I hate it when people say that ballads or slow/mellow songs are sleepy.

 

[Equalizer]

I think 60-70% of the songs I like are ballads , I could listen to them all day

 

[ZoaKaizer]

somehow i wish a Hot Blooded song from Yuki

 

[ritardando]

Re:

Yup, I agree with you. I hear destination unknown and Magnolia for my lullaby and I use heigen for my wake-up-morning song. In Kalafina's case, their techno songs are more sleepy. Maybe that's because most techno songs have Wakana as lead vocal and by hearing her voice I can easily sleep (not that I say Wakana's voice is boring...)

For me Manten will be a ballad (because most Kalafina's b-sides are ballad), and by the way its title written maybe it will be Nohara-esque or Kizuato-esque with Keiko and Wakana as lead vocal. A song with less Hikaru (because there's none since lirica) is what I kinda hoped for.

 

[garnetjester]

^Hikaru isn't the main vocal in to the beginning either, from what we've heard at least.
