Kalafina 19th single "Blaze" ED for Arslan Senki Fuujin Ranbu

[Westkana]

I agree with @george1234. Though the song is good, it still seems like a typical fast action-anime opening (like One Light tbh). I am hoping that we get a trailer for blaze soon, but considering that the show airs in a little over a week, I doubt that we will.

Ooh.... I'm looking forward to her single too!!

One Light 2.0 confirmed

I think we should get the jackets and tracklists maybe in the next 2 days.

 

[george1234]

LOL this cant be happening unless they use cutscenes from the One light PV footage for this CM because they havent shooted the Blaze PV yet I will be waiting for sample to get my expectations high or below zero.

They should rename it to One b(R/L)ight Blaze

 

[rsultan59]

I didn't watch OL's PV except one or twice, and I think there wasn't such a place in it.

[rsultan59]

Now it's confirmed.

 

[nodame89]

I'm still interested in that how Blaze sounds. Effects looks similiar to OL, even dresses.

 

[ritardando]

it's even more generic than one light lol. and yay for Kalafina recycling their old dresses materials!

the only good thing I can say is finally Hikaru gets the chorus for an A-side single song all for herself again.

 

[george1234]

sounds way too mainstream from that sample. but you never know, stone cold had turned out good.

 

[giffy]

can't judge from a 14 second teaser. but seems nice . hopefully it isn't one light ver 2.0

And yes jugding from a teaser, it is more generic than OL. i hope YK create some dark and old-kalafina-ish songs for the B-Side

 

[nodame89]

Refrain sounds ver generic, but it's still hard to imagine how sounds full song...

 

[rsultan59]

Honestly, I don't care about the PV, and yes the song sounds too mainstream from the teaser.

I would still consider it a good single if the 2 B-sides turn out great (more dark songs like IEN, Kiobito are always welcomed ^_^)

 

[george1234]

^ but dark songs have started following a formula as well...

the only thing that i find possitive on this sample is that all 3 sing it and there doesnt seem to be a lead vocal.

Seriously Kalafina PVs are nearing to be as cheap as Kaori's. Some Korean artists seem to throw millions in PV making while Sony is becoming more and more tightfisted

 

[Seasonreaper]

Barely even sounds like Kalafina, and not in a good way.

B-sides please.

Couldn't be more accurate. The first time I heard it, I thought this is a thing I would hear from Eir Aoi, Lisa,...etc

 

[Spirica Rose]

Is it just me or does anyone else think the sample doesn't match the mood/vibe the video gives off?

Not really a fan of it. Hopefully, that'll change with the full song. So far it sounds more like a part of an opening theme rather than an ending theme, but I haven't really been following much anime lately.

 

[george1234]

lol dont worry the patern hasnt changed, ED songs usually are ballads but in "manly" anime like this both OP and ED tend to be upbeat.

 

[grunty]

I don't hate the first 8 seconds... :p
