In Katakana, Marchën is ME-RU-HI-e-N.
Often times, "ru" is translated to "l" by automatic translation programs. That's why sometimes I see "hikarifuru" displayed as "hikariful".
As for the "f", probably another automatic translation default from the "HI-e"? Since hu is pronounced fu.

I guess no one cares about blocking videos in Canada... at least these ones. Haven't checked this morning if they are still working. Funky.

I see no one made mention of Hikaru doing those Beyonce movements in the Marchen pv. I have a giggle when I see her doing them. I see more each time I watch the video.

^ i saw her moving in strange way during the vocal bridge while it was Keiko's and wakana's verse, do you refer to those ?

First of all, "Beyonce movements" is a cringe-worthy description. 
HOWEVER, I will speak from the experience my "culture"'s quirks as a black man. Where I come from, we would say that Hikaru "has soul", which is usually a bodily response while listening to music involving fluidity in between the beats of a song. Primarily starting at the neck and shoulders (which usually keep the beat) and swaying or rolling down the midsection is the most common way. This way of using the whole body is seen as having a much stronger attachment to the music than just tapping one's toes or bouncing up and down (which is what usually goes on during a Kajiura performance outside of elegantly emphasizing lyrics with one's arms). I think it works for Hikaru in this situation (and Kaori, who I have also seen do this prominently).
I first saw her move this way during an "in every nothing" performance and again in their arena "Tsuioku". This song is basically the child of those two pieces, why not bring the soul back.

I referenced Beyonce because Hikaru is a fan of her.
@george1234: Right after the flute solo you can see her movements when she and Wakana are standing on those platforms. Then in a couple close ups she does movements with her head and shoulders.
Marchen is Hikaru's song. First time in a while I've seen her so "in front" on a song.

I wish they did Hikaru's hair like how they did it in the marchen PV. She looks the best with wavy hair. Just like in Arena LIVE 2016 budokan.

HA! I live in her CLOSET!
Hikaru's hair is quite a bit shorter now, so they probably couldn't do it that way and have it look good.

I've been listening to Märchen a lot. Today was a rainy, cloudy, rather dark day, and it was a constant and perfect company as I walked or took the bus. And I can't explain how important was for me to have musical company in such an emotionally difficult day (week, month). So, even if it is not a perfect song, it took just days for it to be important to me. And I can't thank Kajiura enough for making music that heals me and makes life better and easier.
I don't want to make the thread depressing, but I felt like I needed to say this.

The promotional lives are announced in the Kalafina blogs as staff postings. That's how I found out about the Believe mini live at Lazona Plaza Kawasaki and the Kalafina acoustic mini-live at Nishinomiya Gardens that I attended.

Speaking of Gikaru's hair, I really miss Red Moon/After Eden/Consolation generation Hikaru hair... when it was long and flowy and she looked like a doll.
Now she looks like a badass pop star (which is fine! But that dissociation between her adorable appearance and her intensity in dark/dramatic songs was such a charm XD)
