... george can't even look through this page's onions? So razy. ;p

Edit: Goddamnit george, deleting posts. ;p
 
thanks so much Yurika-chan!

@grunty: Yes because I noticed it after I posted :P

EDIT: I think I agree with grunty on dolce, alleluia has this happy tone probably because the story end there. I was surprised there was no instrumental bridge. it might not fit that much with KnK's atmosphere but its definetely not a bad song.

as for why Keiko says alleluia 3 times at the end it should because that;s how it is in some christian orthodox chantings.

dolce was way too small and it looks like it was make from the sole purpose of making a b-side song.

will have to listen a bit more to both songs

as for the lives I really liked the fairytale strings near the end :nosebleed:
 
/me kicks Internet :uh..:
Say, could anyone send me the file via mediafire? It's downloading at 400bytes/s :orz:
Thanks in advance! :bow:
[EDIT] I got the link ^^
 
I'm really not sure what to think of Alleluia. The title track is pretty generic stuff, although Keiko is a welcome addition. Dolce isn't bad either, but is way too short and doesn't really go anywhere. It's not as dull as Hikari Furu but it's really not far off.

The Christmas Lives on the other hand, are lovely.

Here's hoping the PMMM single is better. Consolation proved they can still do interesting material, so I don't know what happened here.
 
listened to it. nice songs.

on areruya, wow, that's a lot of repeated lines.
I like the chorus starting with the "areruya", it sounded very powerful.

on dolce, it's a nice display of harmony.
dolce sounds more like what I would expect from a song titled "Alleluia" than Alleluia itself did.

I agree :tea:
 
Waaaaaah!!!!! Thanks so much Yurika-chan!!!!

Coming back after quite some time and finding an amazing onion :dote: :nosebleed: *is happy*

Quite happy with all songs! Definitely getting the CD!!!!!!

"Alleluia": Sounds like something you'd find in a Drama. (Keep thinking of a song I once heard in a K-Drama, just can't remember what it was called). The song makes me extremely happy and well, "Alleluia" is a song of celebration so that's kinda fitting, I guess. Although I prefer Keiko's darker voice to her "cutesy" one, it's perfect in this arrangement and I can practically see her smiling throughout the whole performance. :dote:

"Dolce": REALLY beautiful and kinda reminds me of "al fine", which I also adore! I wonder though, is it Keiko's voice in the background? It sounds somehow distorted, too much studio magic for my taste...But all in all, it's a very relaxing and comforting piece.

OMG!! The string versions are ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! Kudos to Konno-san and his musicians, they did a great job!!!!

"fairytale": Wakana does a great job and as always I am totally in love with the Keiko/Wakana part in the middle. *sighs* Hikaru's 'sayonara'...:dote: :nosebleed: (Ever since I've read the report of the X-Mas live I've wanted to hear for myself how Hi-chan performed that part and I gotta say, I much prefer it this way)

"Kimi ga...": My all time favourite song so I was VERY MUCH excited for this version. I was hoping Keiko would use her "Seventh Heaven Live" voice (which was a lot deeper), alas, she didn't, BUT she also didn't use her overly cutesy voice for which I am very grateful. I guess she opted for something in between and I am quite happy with the results. Her voice does have depth and she's great on the longer notes.
Really enjoyed Wakana's performance as well. Love what they did with the ending "Mezameta asa ni ha namida ga...", the strings were lovely in this part and harmonised perfectly with Wakana's voice.

For a Kajiura song yes they are alot but for songs in general is not:

-Alleluia-
【Japanese】　　　　　　　　　　【Romaji】
(梶浦語)　　　　　　　　　　　(Kajiurago)

未来は君に　　　　　　　　　　Mirai wa kimi ni
優しいだろうか　　　　　　　　　Yasashii darou ka
緑の雨が　　　　　　　　　　　Midori no ame ga
君を濡らすまで　　　　　　　　　Kimi wo nurasu made

まっすぐにまっすぐに　　　　　　　Massugu ni massugu ni
行けるだろうか泣けるだろうか　　　Yukeru darou ka Nakeru darou ka
全てが静かに燃える日まで　　　　Subete ga shizuka ni moeru hi ma de

アレルヤ　　　　　　　　　　　　Alleluia
祈りはどこにも　　　　　　　　　 Inori wa doko nimo
届かず消えうさえて 　　　Todokazu kie u saete
僕らはうずくまったまま　　　　　　Bokura wa uzukumatta mama
夜明けをやり過ごした 　　　　　　Yowake wo yarisugoshita

明るい方へ　明るい方へ　　　　　Akarui hou he akarui hou he
きっともがいて　何度も泣いて　　　Kitto mogaite nando mo naite
僕らは行く　僕らは行く　　　　　　Bokura wa yuku bokura wa yuku

（梶浦語）　　　　　　　　　　　　(Kajiurago)

こんな小さな君の手を取って　　　　　　Konna chiisana kimi no te wo totte
痛いほどの輝きがあって　　　　　　　 Itai hodo no kagayaki ga atte
幸せの記憶だけ残したいと　　　　　　 Shiawase no kioku dake nokoshitai to
願いながら　　　　　　　　　　　　　negainagara
優しく君に消える日まで　　　　　　　　Yasashiku kimi ni kieru hi made

アレルヤ Alleluia
全ての命が Subete no inochi ga
歌うときが来るって Utau toki ga kuru tte
信じて　雨の中で両手 Shinjite ame no naka de ryote
ふりかざして踊って Furikazashi te odotte

笑ってるんだ　笑ってようよ Waratterun da Waratte youyo
涙の海で　抜き　手をきいて Namida no umi de nuki te wo kiite
未来へ行く　未来へ行く Mirai he yu ku Mirai he yuku

アレルヤ Alleluia
小さな命を Chiisana inochi wo
振り絞って　振り絞って Furishibotte furishibotte
振り絞って　振り絞って Furishibotte furishibotte
君の未来へ Kimi no mira he
アレルヤ　アレルヤ Alleluia Alleluia
アレルヤ Alleluia

^ Thanks for the lyrics! Its a big help.

And Thanks Yurika!

At first Alleluia wasn't really appealing for me. But after more repeats, I'm finding more and more things that I love about this song. Like Wakana's Alleluias, Keiko's happy voice and Hikaru's harmony. In the end, I love this song. Very uplifting:)

As for Dolce, my only comment for it is that it reminds me of Christmas. I dont really know why.

And I love the lives. I hope they release the rest of that Christmas live.

Somewhat the same.
Already have the different extensions zipped and uploaded but refuse to listen to it until I get my copies.

Self implied torture. Whoo.
 
Can someone please re-upload to a mirror site, maybe MediaFire? The DF link doesn't work for me 'coz of my location. :(
