The verse melody took me by surprise and took several listenings to get used to, so much the more that it unexpectedly reminded me of this part, something I bet Yuki couldn't have possibly heard :XD:
Since I haven't played much of Majora's Mask yet, the instrumental melody didn't bring any associations until I checked out Keiri's video. The melodies do sound alike, although the notes placement is different enough to evade plagiarism accusations. And Yuki is known to play/have played games (like Chrono Trigger), so maybe she played Majora's Mask, too, and took some inspiration? :XD: or maybe she heard Stardust Melodia and thought, "Hey, if they can get away with this, how about I go paying homages, too?" :knife: :ohoho:
The refrain is... WIN. :nosebleed:

Overall, I like it and it's certainly unusual for Kalafina. I'm all for "conglomerate of styles", as Niney put it, although in this case I could agree somewhat about what I've never personally felt in HnS but heard it accused of constantly - the verse and refrain do sound a bit like different moods (the mysterious former and the elating Eden-like latter), which still puzzles me a bit when I listen to the song. But I'm sure looking forward to the full version. :ayashii:

Also, I feel sorry for people holding out for "something fresh from Kalafina", as once again, this fresh isn't something they can enjoy listening. :TdT: Life sucks, huh... :leaf:

Any possibility Sony has bought the copyright for the Majora Mask one?

Sony buying the copyright for a Nintendo-owned melody? That's a new one. :ohoho: :XD:

Even the duration of the (I guess, Minna no uta ver) is the same as the Majora track, 2:31, and 2:32).

Duration doesn't matter, seeing as the similarity is limited to the instrumental part.

how can we be so sure that it's a copy?
just ask kajiura-sama on the twitter later

And how do you ask such questions without them sounding rude? :uh..:
 
mfw you consider a simple question/answer melody like this to be plagiarism. Are you serious?
 
Okay, maybe I'm deaf, but I can't hear Keiko AT ALL :uh..:
Hikaru sings all the time, and I'm quite sure I hear Wakana doing the back-up vocals, but I can't hear Keiko.
The song is really nice :shy: and I even understood some lines, can't wait to asctually know what they are saying.
I feel like I'm watching a festival when I listen this song~
The instrumental part is awesome, I want to buy the CD, but I'm broke... :orz:
And, yeah, that MM song is very similar :@_@:

Thanks grunty!! :sohappy:

Wow, yane no mukou ni and moonfesta only 1 sec difference, that's rare :ayashii:
guess the minna no uta ver is what we already got.

@ Varete: Who does the lalala at the end? yuriko or Keiko, because it sounds as both.
 
Melody, melody, melody... not the whole melody. Just the verse... Rest of the song is original, I think...
I just hope the moonfesta of the single sounds different.

In what way? I doubt it will have a different melody for the verse. :confu:

Huh? I talk about the arrangement because I don't like the minna version lol
 
Errr.. What was it? I agree with Winnie's reaction here O_O
 
I don't think any composer would knowingly "plagiarize" another song, especially if both are so well known! Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and consider any similarities just a coincidence.

btw my mom laughed her head off when she saw that video of the heart shaped mask moving around :XD:
 
Guys,
drop it.
1. The tracks are not identical.
2. There is nothing original about using E-minor notes one after the other with a simple rhythm like this.
Love,
grunty
 
Ahhh I want to listen, but it didn't work for me. I guess July isn't that far away. But still... I can't wait for actual samples now.
 
I just hope the second track of "moonfesta" single would be better than "moonfesta" itself. "moonfesta" doesn't sound too bad either. Right now, I'm patiently yet eagerly waiting for the next FictionJunction album/single. FictionJunction's "stone cold" really gives a new breath for FictionJunction, "stone cold" is really modern-sounding whereas "hitorigoto" is like those slow musics that are always played in hotels and restaurants. "stone cold" single is totally different from "Parallel Hearts" and "Toki no Mukou, Maboroshi no Sora". :waii:
