むすんでひらく -connect and shut (actually I'm not too sure about this one so please correct me if I'm wrong)
Actually according to the dictionary ひらく is "open" or "unfold" :D

^ 灯影 (the song before one light) seems to be Hokage (not written the same way as seen in Naruto, I believe). I think it is referring to like flickers of light or like shadow movements in light
It's also read as とうえい if it's a flicker of light, then ほかげ if "firelight" or "shadows/forms moving in firelight". Hmm.

Btw thanks jisho.org you're the best :))))))
 
the tracklist looks great!.. monochrome sounds like a techno-song, me somewhat hoping for a track like Magnolia XD
And some tracks resembles for colors and water haha.. HB and believe again, huh? XD
into the water>far on the water ..I laughed a little bit with this, sorry XD (i hope INW is not just an overture ver of FoTW XDD) And I love both KnGnN and Alleluia but I guess they need to sacrifice these to give us more new songs :)

The coverarts should be uploaded soon. :)
 
It would be stupid if they excluded tie-ins, if fresh since a number of the buyers is always anime fast of the specific anime. and since believe wasnt in the "best" album they have one more reason to include it.
 
It fits better with the other album songs? So they're all going to be shit then :ayashii:?
 
I was (hopefully) joking.

You do have a point, Mirai is one of the worst songs they've released whilst I adore Consolation as an album.
 
i think 灯影 in this is touei, flicker of light. or it could be as spirica said, Hokage.

It's also read as とうえい if it's a flicker of light, then ほかげ if "firelight" or "shadows/forms moving in firelight". Hmm.

Thank you both for pointing this out! I did not even know there was another way to read it. My textbooks only really seemed to indicate Hokage, but still with the flicker of light as the rough English translation.

I kinda hope it is touei because all I can think of is Naruto with Hokage and then I think of "Believe it!" with believe on the album.:ohoho::punched:
 
Sorry, I didn't want to spread my negativity again (now I know what some of you can feel), but my "blind fandom alert" has rung...

Also how can you have low expectations from 7 new songs? You don't even know what they sound like. Sure, each single's title track may have sounded similar in ways, but their bsides proved that Yuki can still do amazing things, and the girls and the band of course.

One Light's B-sides are the proof that even B-sides can be messed up. Not knowing how they will sound like is exactly the reason for my concerns. I hope to be happily surprised but I'm afraid of the worst.
[EDIT: and how could anyone guess how good is a song only from its title? That's something I could never understand.]

Techno songs. Like if HB wasn't enough. Can we hope that at least one song on this album could remind us of the good ol' baroque and lyrical Kalafina?! :comeback:
