The Best Blue Day
Overture –Storia: I think they all did well, Hikaru is better than what people have been saying, I think so anyways. At least in this song. I like storia, Wakana is great, Keiko too obviously. Love Rie’s playing, and the Konno quartet! (Sorry, just love Konno so much!)
Love come down: I love this song. I remember the first time hearing it in the car on the way to my friend’s house. It was glorious. I got chills. I don’t think Hikaru is annoying in this song at all. She is better, but maybe a little shaky. I love this song, as I said before. It has a good rhythm and feel, like you want to dance to it, but not sure how. I don’t think it has a sexy feel at all, it has more of a Eastern feel to it. Love Konno of course.
Natsu no Ringo: Love this song too. Rie’s playing is amazing. Love her. Wakana is amazing, love when the piano plays with her singing. Hikaru is maybe a little loud in this song, but still beautiful.
I have a dream: I really really enjoyed this song. Loved when it played at the end of the Anime Boston doc. Wakana is amazing, this is why I keep saying she is not bad at all, like some people are saying. She is still amazing in lives. This song was truly amazing. I noticed that Wakana was the only one not wearing a necklace. Heh
Seventh heaven: This was really lovely. I love this song, of course. Being one of my favorite Kalafina songs, this was great live. Hikaru was lovely, Wakana sounds like the recorded version, which is awesome, Keiko great as always.
Mirai: I enjoy this song, I think it has great energy too. I like Credens though, so this song was great. Hikaru was maybe a little shaky, Wakana was awesome. The strings were amazing.
Hanataba: Did not really like this song at first, but it grew on me and I am glad it did, since both lives I’ve seen of it now are awesome. The live accordion is great. I like how the light comes over them when each of them is singing their part. I can’t even imagine playing an accordion, let alone live, but it really is something how they can play on one side and know what notes to play on the other. Loved this live.
Kimi no Gin no Niwa: Wakana is great here. I think all three of them are. Love the strings, of course. Hikaru is really good I think. I love it when they smile during this song, it really fits. Wakana’s dress kind of looks like the clock parts above, I have noticed. This song gave me chills. Love it. I liked at the end when they went up the stairs as well.
Manten: I really like this song, so of course liked the live. The magic circle in the background is cool. The strings are awesome, as always. Hikaru was really powerful in this song. She got better I think. Wakana and Keiko were powerful as well. Wakana nails all her high parts, it’s amazing. Keiko tapping her foot during her part was cool. I do that sometimes listing to this song, and always sing her part. I kind of like in the recording part where Wakana puts a retard at the end, but here she doesn’t a whole lot, still like it though.
To the beginning: I like the energy in this song, Hikaru really does a good job I think. Wakana as well. I’ve always loved her singing though. I like Keiko’s side turn. Heh Wakana does get a little shaky, but it is a fast song, so that is to be expected I think. I would get shaky as well. I always sing Keiko’s part towards the end of this song as well. Wow, Wakana before the “down to zero we go” and after. Purely awesome.
Numquar vicar: I was surprised this song was in the setlist, and how it started, with the slow piano part. Love Konno’s face like he’s purely listening to the piano. He is so awesome. Heh But so is Sakurada and all of the band members. Then the strings start, and wow. That weird violin though, but it kind of fits this song. And I noticed they finally show the other band members, like the drums, and Jr. and Koichi, which they haven’t all that much so far. Love the shot of Jr. and Koichi while Koichi is playing, which is amazing. I will have to show this to my dad, since I always talk about him with him, since he is a guitar fan. Loved it.
Magia {Quattro}: I did not notice the Japanese flag until now. That’s really cool. Everyone was surprised when they came in through the crowd. Love the start of this, where everyone is clapping and then goes silent when the red falls on Kala. I don’t really like this version of this song, but this is really awesome. Hikaru is really powerful. I don’t really like their dresses though. They’re kind of a little much for me. But that’s beside the point. Keiko’s creepy voice hehe. The red really fits the song. Hikaru’s fierce face. Heh I actually like the weird dance that they did too. I’ve always loved Keiko’s solo part in this song.
Destination unknown: I did not like this song at first, but it grew on me. I love to listen to it now while working out, it gets me going. Heh Hikaru has a big of a shaky start, but then owns the song I think. It seems like a hard song to sing live. I do like Keiko’s head piece though. And Hikaru’s sash. Keiko’s part is great, even though she sings it a little different, like with more umph. Heh I liked her “deshou” part with the shakiness at the end. It was fitting. Wow, the lights, I had to look away, it reminded me of the Lindsey Stirling concert where I had to look away even though I didn’t want to. The black and white screen was pretty cool in this song. They all did a fantastic job. Hi’s long note at the end, wow.
Signal: I don’t like this song, but I do like it live. Hikaru’s part is so weird. I like how it starts it them together. Hikaru really does a good job though. Wakana’s part is love though. When Wakana takes off her jacket lol. Keiko’s part is awesome, I like this part a lot in this song, but the rest I don’t like. I liked it more after ACen, but still don’t listen to it that often. You can tell what Wakana said about signal being hard to sing, with her face. The accordion was awesome. Koichi’s weird dance. You could tell they were having fun though.
Ongaku: I personally still like this song. Keiko said it was her favorite song to sing live. I think they know it really well, and own it. This live was no different. When Hikaru knelt down, that was pretty great. I think they all do well in this song. I love love love Konno’s part in this song in the lives, I don’t know why Yuki didn’t put it in the recorded version. Wakana’s part, wow. That gave me chills.
Heavenly blue: I have not heard this song in awhile, so it was kind of nice. But still don’t like Hikaru’s part. Like Wakana’s though, it is actually better live though, kind of like with signal with me. I like it when they go to the edge of the stage where the rails are and look into the crowd. Wakana’s Kajiurago part, the whole thing actually is great. I like this part a lot in the original song too. I like the part after that too. Wakana does still sweat a lot more than the others. She still says “buru” at the end, which I find funny, since they have gotten so better with the English parts.
Snow falling: I also don’t listen to this often, unless it is winter, because here in Wisconsin it is winter most of the time. Heh But I do like it. I like it better than Hikari furu. The snow falling in the background was very cool. (I know I like to comment on the stage when I should be focusing on the girls. But I think it affects them as well in some part.) Hikaru is a little shaky in some parts, but otherwise great. I think they are all great in this song. I watched the Kara no Kyoukai movie with this song playing where it was just mainly falling snow, so it really is something.
Symphonia: I quite enjoy listening to this song. Keiko really shines here. Yay Rie’s back! Watching this just makes me forget about all my pain and anxiety, and it’s really awesome how music can do that. This song had a really nice feel to it, after all the upbeat ones. It sort of is upbeat, but not as much. Seeing each of them smiling during the instrumental part was awe inspiring. It’s like they’re taking in the energy, and that is giving them the power to sing so beautifully.
Overture~ red moon: This overture sounds more similar to a KnK one, but I like it. I loved this song live at ACen, it really was something. Is that Yuri Kasahara in the overture? I did not like this song at first, but it really grew on me. Wow, when the rose up and the red moon the background. It gave me chills. I do like these dresses better. The gold and black are great together on them. Hikaru’s bracelet, I kind of like it, but it looks heavy. Heh I love Hikaru’s dress though. This song was really powerful and I love it, even though it’s long. Great!
Believe: I like this song, I don’t think it’s as terrible as people say. Wakana owns this song. She’s really pretty. I really like it, probably one of the only ones. I find myself getting this song stuck in my head during the day, for no reason. It’s a good song to tap my foot to, as I was doing watching this live. Loved it.
Sprinter: I love this song, even if there’s no Maya, I think each of the girls do really well. Especially Hikaru. This was one of my favorite KnK songs. I loved Keiko’s part where she went to each of the girls. Keiko was maybe a little loud, but other than that, no complaints. Though Hikaru did get a little out of breath at the end. Then she was better.
Blue day was awesome. I think maybe they were all a little nervous because it was Budokan. But I think receiving a standing ovation was deserved. I found it interesting that they used Ring Your Bell as the credits song, when they cut it out. But all in all it was great. Going to watch Red Day tonight.
Wakana and Keiko were pretty good in this song (but I will forever still say my favorite refrain version was the one with Maya).
nice!
...I need to be mentally prepared for this. 
It has been quite a while
Can’t believe how fast they were here! I expected them to arrive at the end of this week at the earliest!
Just completely missed my interests!
I hope this won’t be such big of a problem for you as it is for me. You might also think I'm just completely exaggerating, and that's ok. Maybe I'm just a “musicistophile” so let’s leave it at that.
