Um..read back the part that you discussed about Serenato live..I think I've seen a worse one from youtube..
..I think it's a fancam from their progressive tour in some foreign country..^ ^ll...and it's worse than this one..= =... I think that Hikaru's chorus part is a big problem..yes..it's too loud.. and it's easily dominated Wakana's & Keiko's smooth voice.
Well.., from my experience in live singing (which is so far from the word "professional"
), no matter what part you sing, main vocal or chorus, it's easier to sing with all power you have, and let the sound manipulator to handle that which microphone should be louder, and which one should be softer. (I think they did it when Hikaru&Yuriko sang chorus for Yuuka in YK Live4 and when all FJs sang chorus for Eri Ito when she appeared as a guest in YK Live2) But if you sing chorus, you should make your voice to be soft and smooth than usual. Hikaru didn't do that, and the manipulator also didn't adjust her microphone, and what we watched is the result...

I totally agree with many one that Yuki should pay more attention to "how to perform the song in live performance" when she composes the song for Kalafina...
. Even some song give different 'good' feeling when they do live performance..many songs made me feel so lack..

By the way...I'm still looking forwards to their DVD...
