its weird that i only save sorairo as sora.mp3 but full title appears together with artist name in the link:confu:
and sorairo intro brings me to the original Storm

edit :
Alternate dropbox for sorairo
 
I think I like musunde. It sounds kind of melancholic, but then the chorus gets happier. Hikaru sounds great, much better than on Mahiru. It sounds like a mirai/neverending plus another new song.
 
ooh sorairo is so sweet :dote: Is that Harp ? definetely different from the instrument used at storm :dote: :dote:Wakana has such a nice voice on this one.
 
How do you know that ? there was more than that sample ?

and wow that sample was long, they practically gave us half the song
 
That might be the most positive thing you've said about a new song in years. Confirmed 10/10 album of the year.

you're over exaggerating lol i praised lapis and lapis was just last year. sorairo no isu sounds nice enough (there i praise another song), though man another wakana song where's my keiko.
 
Sorairo sounds really pretty. No wonder I saw a comment that was like "I can let go of 3000 yen just because of this song being there" lol. I think I need to hear the full Musunde before I make a judgment… and I am with ritardando waiting for a Keiko song.
 
Kajiura tweeted
結構今回のアルバムは……今までのアルバムで一番テンション高いかも。収録シングルがみんなアッパーなのもかなり影響してるかな……。

She says that the fotw album is the most energetic out of all the albums so far. It is possibly an influence of the singles.

Anyway, this means more Ongaku, less ballads. I'm sure she didn't have Hikaru lead the rest of the songs lol. Keiko must have a song in there.

The wait is killing me.

by now half of the album is already filled with wakana songs. the only song keiko got a decent part (if you can call having 3 lines to hersel is decent) so far is far on the water :(
 
@Seasonreaper I wouldnt go as far as judge a whole album from 2 songs, and dont forget that the tie-ins you didnt like are in there. However Sorairo makes me very hopeful that Kajiura has tried hard on the new album songs.

PS: Sorairo remind me a bit of some Sound Horizon ballad songs, in style only.
 
Sorairo isu is so beautiful! I fell in love with it... Wakana voice is so charming! :plz: And it was harp, isn't it? I'm so happy because of new intrument!
Musunde Hiraku sounds like another Mirai - but it's better. I really enjoy a lot of verses by Hikaru! :love:
It must be one song for Keiko!:listen:
 
IMHO:
Musunde sounds crap from the clear part of the sample - I feel it's very representative of the current tie-in era.
Sorairo on the other hand is for the most part very cool. Has some melody lines that I found unexpected like the first time I heard Ashita no Keshiki.
 
I do really like both samples!

Musunde sounds like something we have already had but somehow new! I'm looking forward to hearing the chorus.

Sorairo no Isu surprised me a lot. Sounds like a great, nostalgic ballad.

These two samples gave me one more reason to wish it were the release date already.

I was being sarcastic about that. Sadly you are correct, this is automatically the weakest album so far just because Believe and Heavenly Blue are there. There is still hope that it'll be a great album overall and I can just skip those two tracks like I usually do with Mirai.
 
Sorairo no Isu restores some hope in me for this album. I wish that some other songs like this will break up the monotony.
So far, Musunde Hikaru doesn't inspire me. No originality, the same blandness than in the previous A-sides, I hope that the whole song isn't all like this sample...
