Kalafina 「into the world / Märchen」20th single (Release April 5, 2017)

Omg the way wakana goes up on shinjitemiru yo makes me throw my earphone off
 
I got mine today! I like Marchen... Keiko's part threw me off guard, not sure if I like it, at least the first lines she has. I really really like Haru wo Matsu. Such a soothing song and I love it more than Mahiru and previous ballads after Seventh Heaven. It gave me that same chill as those songs, Wakana sounds really different and so does Keiko, well, she sounds similar to when she sang Kaze no Machi he, I think anyways.

into the world: Love it! I loved the live version and this just amplifies it even more. It sounded weird because of the recording off the live tv, so it's more polished in the studio version. And the PV is lovely, I like the indoor, outdoor thing, but I wish they had been walking on the beach a little more, instead of just standing there. And maybe shown parts of the world? Since it is into the world. heh In any case, it is such a beautiful song.

Marchen: I really like Wakana's part. More Rie is always welcome, and it sounds like a live recording, since she sounds like this more live. I like the Kajiurago, but was wishing for more, I guess there's two parts with it, but still. Keiko's part threw me off guard, like I said, and then Hikaru... but love it after that right before the guitar solo. I do like it, it sounds like they are hiccuping almost, is how I want to describe it I guess. It is interesting. I kind of like the abrupt ending. I love the instrumental. I wish it was on the CD as well. *sigh*

Haru wo Matsu: Wow.... just wow. It made me cry. Keiko sounds so different! Hikaru is really sweet, and you can tell she is putting a lot of emotion in the song. Wakana is really pretty. I don't mind the shinjitemiru yo. Glad Keiko got more lines in this single. Her higher voice is so soothing also, it always has had that effect on me. But this is different. It's a good song to listen before bed, and not in a bad way, or if you're feeling a little sad, it will brighten you right up.

My vinyl did not skip this time! Woot! I am about to listen to the other side, but all songs played perfectly. I love how it sounds on record. Especially Haru. I love this single. It's a breath of fresh air. Not saying I didn't like the other ones, but this one is just so... awesome. heh

I don't know how to hide something in an onion... so I don't want to get into trouble. heh

And I don't have time right now, sorry, it will have to be after I get home from my appointment later this afternoon.
 
Does it include Marchen's instrumental? If so I would only like that song please.

Also I really wish there weren't words all over the insert of the vinyl, I love that pic so much. And I love the postcard one too, which I will try and scan in when I get home.

@Liana_Ilia It doesn't, unfortunately. I also want that song when it's found.

Anyway, this is definitely one of the best singles to come from them in a long time. The hopefulness of Into the World, the badassery of Märchen, and the tearjerking Haru wo Matsu- it's like all of Kalafina's strengths were rolled into one single. I love it :love:
