Kalafina 18th single "One Light" for Arslan Senki [confirmed]

Wow, it's great! I love it! It's full of energy. Hikaru sounds amazing!
 
I liked the song till Wakana came in, and Keiko only got one line again :(, but loads of Hikaru, so that's good. The PV instantly renewed my excitement, maybe another progressive pv?

Edit: After watching the anime clip, I like Wakana's pre-chorus more :)

Edit: Wakana's pre-chorus is now my favourite part :)

Sounds like a song that'll sound great live. I like what I hear so far (thanks for uploading Nimsaj!), and having a lot of Hikaru is a breath of fresh air after being shafted from being the lead in a single for so long (it's sadder for Keiko), though judgements will be saved until the full version since this one's pretty noisy.
 
That's such a short clip [EDIT: was talking about the CM], I can't judge. I can't even make my mind on whether it's different from the latest releases or not. For the moment, it's like I've heard nothing...

I agree with @grunty - the final chords are exactly like the final chords in "heavenly blue"... I like HIKARU's part in the chorus. I personally feel if she got MORE of the chorus, I would enjoy listening to this song more.

As far as that PV sample, haha love the map with KEIKO cameo!
 
I don't get the overuse of guitars and drums on their latest releases. Sigh...

The PV looks promising, as surprisingly deviating to Kalafina's style as it may look, but the song sounds quite generic >_< But anyway, will still be buying this I guess.
 
Wow, didn't expect the song to be this energetic. My favourite part has to be the Wakana pre-chorus, and Hikaru sounds really good in this one!

Its not PV, its ED sequence.

The song was totally not what I was expecting. Excited. The strings dont match at all in the beginning. I like the harmonies in the first part and in the chorus the melody matches with the horses running. The shots chosen were kind of out of place, especially the one where they split the screen, showing yellow background with credits on top and characters on bottom (just who thought of this >_<)

Happy we finally got some Hikaru upbeat. I missed her. IMO if Keiko did Wakana's parts in the verse it would be even better

:sohappy:

The 15-sec PV looks like they put the girls inside a store house and filled it with arcificial light in the distance. It must not have costed them more than 10000Yen to make.
BAD, even if the camera moved more than usually . Why they dont make awesome PV's like Aimer's :cry:

Well, the short clip is making me want to repeat listen to it, which is a positive sign. Intro sounds good, Hikaru's part sounds okay, but very generic, sadly. When it changes up a little at around 30 seconds I start to like it a lot more. Where's all the Keiko at, though? Good to hear a lot more from Hikaru though, and she does a good job. The 'heavenly bluueeeee' bit at the end bugs me a little, but hey. I guess I'll wait for the full song, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Maybe it's just because I had very little expectations for it.

Then again, after watching the whole of Animelo 2014 with a friend I actually warmed up a little to Heavenly Blue, and I never expected that to happen.
 
The preview sounds good. As some of you have already mentioned, its energetic and upbeat so should be a good live song.

The clip is very short though. I'ts like trying to snatch a listen from the stereo of a passing car! :comeback:
 
Happy for Hikaru but based on the Arslan ed/anime ver. I can say that I like this song even less than all hb, believe, and ryb.

song is generic af. the drumming annoys me. very standardsubpar Kajiura anime song indeed.

PV looks exciting though. I like it.
